Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 23,314. Fromme, O. Oct. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 2488/09.] Thermostats.-In a development of the method of, and means for, controlling the supply of feed water to steam-generators of the flash type, as described in the parent Specification, a single thermostat a, b, c is adapted to control two independent valves m, r, each of which constitutes a by-pass valve located between the pressure and auction sides of a mechanically driven feed-pump. Steam from the generator is admitted to the casing c to act upon a copper tube b free to expand at its closed upper end only. The linear expansion or contraction of the tube is communicated to arms i, t adapted to engage the valve spindles l, p through the medium of a non-expansible carbon rod b, plunger f, and rocking lever g, a spring k being provided for keeping the parts f, g in contact. In the position shown, both valves are held to their seats by their springs n, q, indicating that the steam temperature has risen to a certain limit and that both feed-pumps are in operation. As the temperature falls, the tube b contracts, and the valve r is pulled from its seat by the arm t, which is connected to the valve spindle by means of a pin and slot. The valve m is not raised from its seat by the arm i until a lower limit of temperature is reached.

Title: An Aerial Machine.
Inventor: JAQUES RICHARD
IPC: B64C33/00
Filed: 1909-12-13
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 29,066. Jaques, R. Dec. 13. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; propelling. -In a machine of the type in which louvered lifting-wings can be fixed to produce a machine with fixed supporting - planes driven forwards by the usual screw propeller, one pair of wings is hinged at the apex of a triangular prismatic frame, and a second pair at the edges of the base of the frame. The wings are operated between the positions shown in Figs. 2 and 3 by reciprocating chains P passing over chainwheels N, which are connected to strengthening- ribs G of the wing frames F; by this arrangement the weight of the falling pair of wings assists the rising of the other pair. The base of the prism H is fitted with louvers L, which open when the upper wings descend, and close when the lower wings descend. The ends of the chains P are connected to rocking-levers R pivoted at S, of which levers the other ends pass through links attached to chains T passing over chain-wheels U driven from the motor. As a modification, the chains P are replaced by endless chains, which are reciprocated by providing each of the wheels N at the base of the prism H with connecting-rods to a crank-disk driven from the motor. When the wings are fixed in the position shown in Fig. 2 and the machine is driven forwards by a screw propeller, the louvers close by the upward pressure of the air. Steering is effected by a rudder 5 and elevator 6. Parachutes.-In the case of a break in the gearing, the wings are adapted to be retained by suitable catches in a position to prevent a sudden fall of the machine. Aerial machines adapted to travel also on land.-The land wheels are arranged as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Talking Machines.
Inventor: LINDSTROEM CARL
Filed: 1910-03-09
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 5921. Lindstr÷m Akt.-Ges., C. Feb. 16, [Convention date]. Stylus mountings.-A phonograph sound-box, immovable in a plane transverse to the cylinder record, is provided with a recording and a reproducing stylus, which are separately brought into action by means of a handle and cam. The sound-box 5 is mounted to slide, but not to turn, upon a guide-bar 1, which also carries the operating-handle 3 provided with a cam 2 and a projecting stud 20. A yoke 6 pivoted to the sound-box carries a pin supporting a sleeve 7, pivoted to which is a dog 12 having a cam 13 at its end adapted to rest in different positions in a frame 14. The recording-stylus 16 and reproducing-stylus 17 are carried by a lever 15 pivoted to the dog 12 and connected with the diaphragm by a rod 18. A projection 8 on the sleeve 7 is adapted to engage with the cam 2 by a blade spring 9, and carries a weight 11 also provided with a spring 22 to engage the cam 2. The Figure shows the recording position in which the operating - handle 3 is depressed below a projection 23 on the framing, whereby the cam 2 causes the spring 22 to raise the weight 11; the blade spring 9 forces the projection 8 into a recess in the cam 2 and prevents any side movement of the sleeve 7 and recording- stylus. To change the record, the handle 3 is raised level with the projection 23, whereupon the cam 2 pushes forward the projection 8 with the sleeve 7 and the dog 12 until the lowest part of the cam 13 rests upon the frame 14 and thus raises the styli. For reproducing, the handle 3 is raised above the projection 23, thus pushing the projection 8 and dog 12 farther through the frame 14 and lowering the reproducing-stylus 17 upon the record. Owing to the cam 2 being out of engagement with the spring 22, the weight 11 now rests upon the dog 12, and simultaneously the stud 20 pushes forward the yoke 6 by means of a projection 19, thus permitting the sleeve 7, and with it the reproducing - stylus, to have freedom of side movement.

Title: Apparatus for Storage and Delivery of Inflammable Liquids.
IPC: B67D7/32
Filed: 1910-04-20
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 9628. Gr³mer and Grimberg Ges. May 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Direct gas - pressure apparatus, non-automatic. - In apparatus for safely storing and delivering inflammable liquids, of the class wherein an inert gas is introduced at low pressure into the space evacuated by liquid in the storage tank, a valve in the filling-pipe leading to the tank is so coupled to a valve in a pipe which must be opened for the purpose of drawing off liquid from the tank, that when either of the valves is open the other is closed, in order to prevent suction of air through the filling- pipe during the drawing-off of liquid. The main storage tank a communicates through a non-return valve b with an intermediate tank c, from which the liquid is drawn off through a pipe d and a threeway cock e by means of compressed gas supplied through a pipe g, the cock e, and a pipe f. Liquid flows from the tank a to the tank c when the pipe g is connected by the cock e to a vent-pipe v. Inert gas is introduced to the tank a from a receptacle h through a pipe i. The liquid is supplied to the tank a by means of a filling - pipe k and a vent-pipe n, which are connected by a valve q, Figs. 1 and 2, and flexible pipes l, o respectively, the former to the bung of a portable barrel m, and the latter to a pipe p within the barrel. The valve q is so coupled to a valve r controlling the compressed-gas supply pipe g that normally the valve r is open and the valve q closed under the action of a rod u and a spring s, while, when a barrel m is placed in position, the valves are automatically reversed. This automatic action of the valves may be alternatively effected by the connecting of the barrel to the filling-pipe of the tank. As a modification, the valve r may be in the delivery piped.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Applying Labels and the like.
Inventor: MAYNES HYLA FREDERICK
IPC: B65C11/04
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 15,834. Maynes, H. F. July 1. Coating webs.-Relates to the general construction of machines for affixing labels, of the kind in which the machine is passed by hand across the surface to be labelled. The labels are fed from a roll 15 by feed-rollers 37, 38, and pass between a damping-pad 26 and a roller 27 which applies them to the surface 57 to be labelled. The label roll is carried in a frame 14, between the walls 16 of which the water or gum reservoir 12 is held frictionally and by means of a catch 23 engaging with a pin 24. Pinions on the shafts of the rollers 27, 37 are connected by a pinion adapted to be moved longitudinally to throw the feed-rollers in or out of gear with the roller 27. A plate 41 is pivotally suspended from a lever 43 pivoted at 44, and is normally pressed towards the feedrollers by means of a spring. When a label has been fed, a slot in the web separating the label from the next engages with the end of the plate 41 and swings it forward and operates a lever to throw the feed-rollers out of gear with the roller 27. This can then be repeatedly passed over the label without causing the feed of another label. On depressing a finger-piece 29, the plate 41 is raised from the web, and the clutch springs into gear. The plunger 29 also rocks a lever 30, which presses in the flexible side 32 of the reservoir, causing liquid to be ejected through an aperture 28 on to the pad 26. On releasing the plunger 29, a valve carried by a spring 35 allows air to enter the reservoir to take the place of the ejected liquid. The wall 18 of the case 14 is hinged at 19.
