Patent GB-190907534-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Coupling Devices for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: NILSSON ANTON FRIDOLF
IPC: B61G1/40
Filed: 1909-03-29
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 7534. Nilsson, A. F. March 28, 1908, [Convention date]. Couplings, automatic.-The coupling comprises two pivoted hooks, which are opened to engage with a fixed horizontal link or a corresponding pair of hooks on the next vehicle, and are then spring-closed. The draw-bar 1, to which the two hooks 2 are pivoted at 3, is divided at 6 so as to be capable of rotating axially in order that the coupling - hooks may turn freely, since, when the two ends of the vehicles to be coupled both have hooks 2, one pair of hooks has to be turned through a right-angle before coupling can take place. The hooks are normally closed by a spring 21 acting against a collar 4, which is connected to the hooks by links 5. In order to lock the hooks 2 in their closed position, a ring 7 surrounds the collar 4 and is provided with bars 8, which pass through the headstock and have projections 11 adapted to abut against the headstock and prevent the collar 4 from moving towards it. The bars 8 are disengaged from the headstock, when coupling is to be effected, by means of cranks 13 on a divided transverse shaft 12 rotated by levers 15. The parts of the shaft 12 are so connected that they can move longitudinally with respect to each other, but must rotate together. When the shaft is rotated, cranks 16 with rollers 17 are pressed by springs 19 against fixed guide-bars 18, so shaped that the two shaft-sections are separated and the bars 8 so disengaged. The hooks 2 are then free to be opened by the entrance of the coupling-link against the action of the spring 21. To uncouple, the shaft 12 is rotated so that the bars 8 are first disengaged, and then the pins on the cranks 13 reach the inner ends of the slots 14 in the bars 8 and move the collar 4 inwards. The handle 15, at one side of the vehicle, is not affected when the handle at the other side is moved if a keyway is provided in the handle ,broader than the key on the shaft. The coupling-link 20 is fastened to an extra hook 23 on the old hook 22.

Filed: 1909-05-22
Granted: 1910-05-23
Abstract: 12,140. Preston, W. R., and Deeley, R. M. May 22 Blast apparatus.-To vary the intensity of the blast in locomotive and similar boiler blast pipes, the blast pipe is provided with a rotatable bar or valve operated from the cab of the locomotive, or other suitable place, the handle of the operating- means being arranged so as to cause an obstruction, or so that it has to be held manually, when the valve is in the closed or throttling position. The blast pipe b, Figs. 1 and 2, is provided with a bar or valve c, shown separately in Fig. 5, mounted in bearings in the blast pipe and extended at one end. A crank g is secured to the extension of the valve and connected through a link h and a lever j to a vertical pin k, mounted in a V-shaped casing l secured by flanges over an aperture in the wall of the smoke -box. To the pin k is secured an arm p which projects through an aperture in the end q of an operating-rod r passing to the cab w of the locomotive. A set-screw or clamp u on the tubular guide v inside the cab is used to secure the rod r in any desired position. When the rod r is pulled out, the valve c is in the throttling- position. A blower pipe x leads to the blower conduit y as usual. According to the Provisional Specification, the valve spindle, or a separate spindle connected thereto, is extended through the smokebox and has secured to it a lever jointed to a rod passing to the cab.
Patent GB-190928918-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Self Propelled Vehicles with Pneumatic Power Transmission.
Inventor: HAUTIER CAMILLE JEAN
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1909-12-10
Granted: 1910-12-12
Abstract: 28,918. Hautier, C. J. Dec. 10. Pneumatic transmission apparatus.-The apparatus comprises a thermal motor connected to the driving-wheels and to an air-compressor by epicyclic gearing, the compressed air being utilized to assist in driving the wheels in such a way that the torque on the driving-wheels adjusts itself automatically to the resistance encountered. The crank-shaft of a petrol engine b carries a pinion g gearing with planet - pinions h, which are carried by a disk secured to the longitudinal driving - shaft f<1>. An internally and externally toothed annulus j gears on the one hand with the planet pinions h, and on the other hand with a pinion on the shaft of a compressor d. An air-motor e is coupled to the driving-shaft f<1> by a ratchet - clutch m and toothed gearing. Air from the compressor d passes to a valve r, from which it may be directed either to a reservoir x or to the motor e through a reducing-valve t and a heater u traversed by the exhaust gases. The air stored in the reservoir x may be used to start the petrol engine, or to assist it when climbing-hills &c. The load on the compressor is varied by the adjustment of a pedalcontrolled valve v or by an end movement of the distributing cam shaft p of the motor; and as the load increases, the speed of compressor is reduced and that of the vehicle is accelerated. The vehicle is driven backwards by closing the clutch q, the distributing-shaft of the motor being suitably adjusted by a lever n which also controls the clutch q. A pneumatic brake y is operated by a cylinder and piston y' controlled by a valve z.

Abstract: 142. Phillips, A. M. Jan. 3. Haymaking.-In side-delivery rakes or tedders in which the rake-bars are coupled at their ends to short spindles carried by revolving fliers, the arms of the fliers are adapted to slide radially so that the path of the rake teeth may be horizontal at the lowest part. In the machine shown, the fliers k are carried by a frame c pivoted on the axle a and provided with an extension d, which normally rests on a collar on the vertical stem of the front swivelling wheel, but may be raised by means of a lever and chain. The spindle l of the rear flier k is driven by enclosed bevel-gearing, which is connected to the axle a by ratchet mechanism, and is thrown in and out of gear by means of a lever r. Additional gearing may be provided for driving the flier at a greater speed in the reverse direction for tedding. The radial arms n that carry the pins o, to which the rake-bars p are jointed, are movable radially in the fliers k, and are controlled by the engagement of rollers with fixed cam - races q which are horizontal or curved inwards at the bottom.

Title: The Manufacture of a Substitute for Gold Leaf.
Inventor: DEMEL FRITZ
IPC: C25D1/04
Filed: 1910-05-12
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 11,803. Demel, F. May 12. Preparing surfaces; removing deposits from surfaces.-In the manufacture of a substitute for gold leaf, a film suitable for the electrodeposition of the gold is prepared upon a backing on a suitable support, the backing and the film being removed from the support by a solvent which, at the same time, wholly or partly removes the backing from the film. The support, which may be a highly-polished surface of aluminium or glass in the form of a cylinder a, is first coated with a film of adhesive, such as gutta-percha, by rotatably mounting it over a bath of dissolved gutta-percha, with its lower surface immersed. This film is rendered conductive by brushing over a metallic dust, and a film of silver is then electrically deposited on the polished surface, and a film of gold electrically deposited on the polished film of silver. The cylinder is then rotatably mounted over a bath b containing a mixture of benzine and naphtha, with its lower part dipping in so that the gutta-percha is dissolved, and the leaf drops on to a travelling paper band, driven at the same peripheral speed as the cylinder.

The trick bars are carried from arms C<5> by shafts C<6>, to which are imparted the movements in space necessary for the instruments to perform the required operations on the threads, by means of cam-operated linkwork. A number of trick bars C, C<12> may be employed, as shown. In order that certain instruments may be periodicaly removed, as when vertical stripes are being made on the leg of a stocking and the guides nearest the selvedge require to be withdrawn as the web is narrowed, a freely-movable shaft F is provided with handles F<2> and with arms F<3>, one to each division of work, so that the corresponding guides in each division can be picked up by the pins F<4> on depressing the handles. This may also be done automatically by dividing the instruments into left-hand and right-hand sets, each operated separately by mechanism moving laterally with the screws which control the width of the fabric. The centre instruments, for instance the embroidery guides over the centre part of the heel, may be coupled together so as to be put into and out of action simultaneously by the shaft F.
