Title: Improvements in or relating to Motor and other Vehicles.
Inventor: MUTTI ANTOINE
IPC: B60G17/02
Filed: 1913-06-10
Granted: 1914-06-10
Abstract: 13,448. Mutti, A. June 10. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies on.- In spring suspensions for motor and other vehicles wherein the action of the resilient devices is magnified and means are provided for altering the leverage at which the said devices act, auxiliary springs are used to prevent excessive oscillation. Fig. 1 shows a .bell-crank lever 7, pivoted to the body and having its long arm connected to the axle. The shorter arm 9 is connected to a piston-rod 20 having a piston 12 acting on a spring 13 in a cylinder 14 which is pivoted to the vehicle body at 15. The arm 9 is screw-threaded and passes through a sleeve 18 pivoted to the piston-rod 20. A nut 17, having two sets of ratchet t eth, works on the screwed arm 9 and, by engagement with one or other of two stops 22 carried by an arm 23 on the cylinder 14, automatically varies the leverage should displacement in either direction be excessive. A comparatively weak auxiliary spring 24 is arranged within the cylinder between two plates 24<a>, 24<c>. The plate 24<a> rests against a key 24<b> passing through a slot in the piston-rod 20, and the plate 24<c> normally rests against shoulders 24<d> on rods 24<e> arranged as shown, so that oscillation in either direction results in the spring 24 being compressed. A modification is described in which the lever is straight instead of cranked, the other arrangements being similar to those described above. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which a cylinder 39 and piston-rod 47 are connected to opposite corners of a jointed parallelogram, the other two corners being connected to the axle and body respectively. The connexion to the body is capable of movement about a longitudinal pivot 42. The rod 47 is screwed to take a nut by which the initial tension of the spring contained within the cylinder 39 is adjusted. The auxiliary spring is contained within the cylinder or in any other position between the body and axle. Links 48, 50 connect the axle and cylinder respectively to the body. Fig. 6 shows a lever connected at its ends to the body and axle and having a sleeve 56 which is connected to a spring in a cylinder 54 through eccentrics 59, 60 so that the leverage increases with the displacement. There are two eccentrics similar to the eccentric 60 which are connected by chains 62 to the sleeve 56, and the eccentric 59 is connected by a chain 63 to the spring. Automatic means for moving the sleeve 56 on the lever to meet variations of load are provided and are similar to those shown in Fig. 1. The auxiliary spring acts through a rod 69 on the sleeve 56. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which a sleeve 76 is acted upon by a piston 74 which moves in a cylinder 73 mounted concentrically in a large cylinder 71 containing compressed air so that variations of pressure are reduced. Means similar to those shown in Fig. 6 may be used for adjusting the sleeve on the lever. The auxiliary spring is arranged between the body and the axle.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines.
Inventor: BROOKS BOULTBEE
IPC: H02K23/66
Filed: 1913-07-08
Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 15,697. Brooks, B., and Holt, W. July 8. Exciting. - A self-regulating variable-speed dynamo is provided with brushes d situated approximately in the neutral position relatively to the shunt-wound field-magnet poles a and with a number of points on the armature winding c connected together either directly or through reactances e', f<1>, g<1> so that an alternating current is generated in the winding which demagnetizes or distorts the main field more or less as the speed varies. A separate winding placed in the same or in different slots to the direct-current armature winding may be employed to carry the alternating-current. The slots may be partly or wholly enclosed. To regulate the output, a few series turns may be placed on the poles.

Title: Apparatus for Controlling from a Distance and for Regulating the Speed of the Propelling Turbines of a Ships.
IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 1913-09-01
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 19,743. Soc. Anon. Italiana G. Ansaldo & Co. Oct. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Plant.-Consists in apparatus for controlling from a distance, and for regulating automatically the ahead and astern propelling- turbines 31, 32, of a ship in which the supplyvalves 33, 34 of both turbines are operated by the shaft 37 of a differential gear, one of the loose elements 46 of which is driven by the propeller-shaft 12, and the other 45 is driven by a regulating electric motor 47, the speed of which may, from a number of points at a distance, be widely varied in both directions of rotation. The shaft of the differential gear remains stationary and the valves are unaffected as long as the speed of the turbine is exactly maintained at the ratio established with the speed of the regulating motor, while the shaft turns in such a direction as to widen or restrict the opening of the valves according as the speed of the turbines is slower or faster than that which corresponds with the speed of the regulating- motor. The shaft 37 carries at its lower end the planet pinions 38 of a second differential gear, the loose elements 36, 35 of which are connected to the two valves 34, 33, so that when the shaft rotates in a direction causing the closure of the valve 34, it also tends to open the valve 33, and conversely. The valve 33, however, does not open because of the greater resistance to be overcome in opening a closed valve against the steam pressure than in closing an open valve. Consequently, the valve 33 remains closed and the loose pinion 35 stationary until the valve 34 reaches its seat whereupon the pinion 36 is held stationary and the valve 33 is consequently opened, so that the opening of one of the valves can only begin when the other has been completely closed. In order to prevent the regulating-motor from being driven at a higher speed than that which the boiler pressure will sustain, the field current of the regulating-motor is controlled by a rheostat actuated by a manometric device connected with the steam-supply pipe 25. The armature of the regulating-motor is supplied with current from the separately-excited generator 53, driven at constant speed by the electric motor 54 The field windings 56 of the generator 53 are separately excited from the source 21, 22, and the current in the windings may be regulated or reversed by any one of a number of regulating and reversing rheostats 62, 66 situated at various points upon the ship to vary the currents generated and supplied to the motor 47. and consequently to vary the speed of the turbines, and so bring into action the ahead or astern turbines. The rheostat in use is determined by the position of a change-over switch 50. Electric motors indicating the current in the field windings 56, and consequently a measure of the speed of the turbine, are located near the control points. The apparatus may be adapted to the control of several propellers by multiplying various parts.

Title: Postcards
Inventor: VAROTSIS PETROS
IPC: B42D15/02
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: t is disclosed herein postcards produced by special treatment and printing effected on lenticular plastic sheets. They are characterized in that they represent, at the same place of the card surface, the contemporary and old image of a subject. At a mere movement of the postcard, the angle of observation changes and the images alternate. The result is particularly interesting because the combination of the two images provides, inter alia, historical information. Reduced resistance and static appearance of the subject they represent characterize the existing postcards. The advantages of the invented postcards are excitment of the observer's interest, greater durability, cost efficient production, and educational historical information.
