Patent GB-191026895-A (GB)
Title: Foot Cleaner for use on Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: NICHOLSON ALEXANDER
IPC: B60R3/04
Filed: 1910-11-19
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 26,895. Nicholson, A. Nov. 19. Mats.-Boot-cleaning attachments for motorcars &c. comprise a scraper and brush or mat, so arranged as to be covered when not in use. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the box a is fixed to the footboard of the vehicle, and has a lid b, to the underside of which is fixed the mat m, while the scraper is formed of a series of plates g, so arranged that the removed dirt will fall into the tray l, from which it is ejected at the inner side of the footboard. In cases where the area of the footboard is limited, the box a may be attached at its upper end to the car framework and at its lower end to the footboard. When in use, the hinged'lid carrying the mat rests on the footboard, and when not in use it is turned back into the box. A modification is shown in Fig. 6, in which a bevelled edge v acts as the scraper, while the lid b can be turned about the hinge 4 on to the top of the tool-box 2. Fig. 8 shows another modification, in which the vehicle door 6 carries a cover b, so that the mat m is uncovered when the door is opened but is covered as the door is closed. The mat itself may be mounted on the door so as to slide under the vehicle as the door is closed.

Patent GB-191100791-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Notifying and Recording the Passing of Railway Signals at Danger.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1911-01-11
Granted: 1912-02-12
Abstract: 791. Thompson, W. P., [Soc. Cousin et Cie.]. Jan. 11. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains; recording signals. - The passing of signals at danger is notified and recorded by the interaction of contacts which operate a whistle or the like and break the circuit of a recording electro - magnet, and the driver is provided with means for recording the time when he saw the signal at danger, and with means for resetting the apparatus. The engine is provided with two pairs of contacts 6, 7 for forward and reverse running, mounted by means of sockets 4, 5 on sleeves a, b, Fig. 2, on a crossshaft 3. The adjacent ends of the sleeves are provided with opposite doubly inclined pieces forming teeth, whereby movement of either contact 6 in one direction moves both sleeves, but in the other causes its sleeve a to move laterally, the lateral movement being transmitted by a ring g and a guide rod h, to an inner crossrod e. The contacts 6 are the only operative contacts, the signals being given when one of the sleeves a is moved laterally, the rod e on t h i s movement withdrawing its end e', Fig. 1, from beneath a spring-pressed piston 10. The piston has a flexible connexion p of the Bowden or like type, to a bell-crank lever n, Fig. 6, pivoted at m<1> and normally held by a spring m<2>. The movement of the lever n causes a nipple 12 to act on a finger 13 to move a slide 14 and cause a flexible transmission q<1> to operate a whistle S. The recording-apparatus consists of two styles l, l<1>, Fig. 10, pressed against a sheet of paper travelling over an intermediate roller i<1>, the styles being mounted, loose and spring- pressed, on rods t, t<1> pivoted to armatures v, v<1> of electro-magnets u, u<1>. The paper is moved at a speed proportionate to that of the engine. The electro-magnet u is in a normally-open circuit which is closed by the driver operating a handle M, Fig. 1, to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6, whereupon a contact 19 on a quadrant 18 bridges contacts 20, 21 in the circuit wire 22<1> leading from the battery S'. The style then makes a lateral mark on the paper showing the time the driver saw the signal. A nipple 23 on the sector simultaneously acts on a finger 24 on the piece 14, to sound the whistle. The movement of the handle M also presses a nipple 35 under the lever n to lift the piston 10 and allow the end e<1> to return beneath it to its normal position. The electro-magnet u<1> is in a normally-closed circuit passing through a contact 25 on the piece e', and a contact 26. When the rod e is operated, this contact is broken and the armature r' withdrawn to cause the style l' to make a lateral mark showing the time of actuation. The resetting of the piston 10 again completes this circuit.

Patent GB-191114513-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Liquid Transmission of Power.
Inventor: BARBEY CAMILLE
IPC: F16H61/40
Filed: 1911-06-19
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 14,513. Barbey, C. April 25, [Convention date). Speed-varying mechanism. - In hydraulic power-transmission apparatus, either the transmitting or receiving member is caused to vary in capacity by auxiliary regulating-pistons which act as hydraulic rams. Also the transmitting and receiving elements may be combined in any way with a charging-pipe, an apparatus for regulating the controlling - pistons of the elements, and with a liquid accumulator. Fig. 1 shows the pump 1 of constant capacity driven by the electro-motor 2. The inlet pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 4 are connected to the cock 6, and to the receiving-elements 9<a>, 9<b>, &c. by unions 11<a>, 11<b>, &c., and 8<a>, 8<b>, &c. The main control apparatus 12 comprises pistons 17, 18, smaller in section than the regulating-pistons 21, 22 of the receiving-elements, operated by worm and worm-wheel 13, 15. The pistons are secured to a lever 16 keyed on the spindle of the wheel 15. To enable the pump to be cut out, the cock 6 is turned to connect the pipes 3, 4 on the pump side and on the receiver side. The connecting-rod 23 secured to the cock and the lever 24 are actuated by the piston 25. This in turn is operated by the fluid compressed by the movement of two small pistons 28, 29. These are operated from the wheel 15 through cam and other gear so that, when the pistons 17, 18 are in the position corresponding to the neutral position of the receiving-mechanism, the pump is cut out. By means of a lever 35 and switch 37, the motor driving the pump is also cut out or controlled in speed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, each receiving-element is separately controlled. To prevent the increase in speed of the other elements in the event of one being placed in the inoperative position, the delivery of the pump 1 is automatically varied by connecting the regulating-piston 42 with the delivery pipe 4, and by placing a resilient body, such as a column of air 45, above the upper piston 44. A pressure-regulating accumulator 47 may be connected to the pipe 4 so that the receivers may continue in action even when the pump is not running and set at its inoperative position.
