Title: Improvements in Buffers for Railway and the like Vehicles.
Inventor: SPENCER ALEXANDER
IPC: B61G11/10
Filed: 1910-11-14
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 26,357. Spencer, A. Nov. 14. [Cognate Application, 705/11.] Buffers.-Relates to buffers of the kind in which a cylindrical plunger moves in a spring- enclosing casing fixed to the headstock of the vehicle, and in which a rod carried by the buffer head extends through the casing and the plunger. The end wall of the plunger is located between the buffer head and the spring system. Fig. 1 shows such a buffer fitted with a single helical spring s. The outer face e of the casing a is shaped to receive the inner face of the buffer head f, and the rebound is taken by an outwardly extending flange m on the plunger g abutting against an inwardly extending flange n on the casing a. In a modification, Fig. 4, the casing is formed with a central conical part, an outer cylindrical part in which the plunger g slides, and an inner cylindrical part containing a rubber spring w with or without a second helical spring y. The inner end of the spring s is supported by a boss x on a plate u which bears against the spring w. The compression of the spring y may be limited by enclosing it in a sleeve y<1>, Fig. 5, adapted to abut against the back plate p. The outward movement of the spring w may be limited by a shoulder 2, Figs. 7 and 8, on the casing a as described in Specification 415/08. The helical spring s may be replaced by a volute or a rubber spring and may be arranged to bear against the back plate p as shown in Fig. 7, the plate u which bears against the rubber spring w being formed with an inwardly-extending tubular boss 3. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, a rubber spring s bears against a flange 5 of an abutment collar 4, the flange 5 bearing against the plate u. The collar 4 may be arranged to extend through the back plate p as described in Specification 24,327/09. An inwardly-extending tubular boss 6, Fig. 12, on the end of the plunger g may be arranged to bear against a boss 7 on the plate u. The rubber-springs may be of the constructions described in Specifications 9391/09 and 30,382/09, [both in Class 108(iii), Springs &c.].

Title: Improvements in Milling or Fulling Machines for Treating Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: WHITELEY GEORGE
IPC: D06C17/02
Filed: 1910-11-14
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 26,382. Whiteley, G., and Calam, H. Nov. 14. Fulling etc.; stop-motions.-To stop a fulling or milling machine when the speed of the front roller 2 is reduced to a certain limit, a loose double ratchet-wheel 6, 7 is placed in the end of the roller shaft 5, together with a loose pulley 8 carrying a pawl 9 adapted to engage the teeth 7. The pulley 8 is driven from the main shaft at a slower speed than that of the normal rotation of the roller 2. A spring 10 embracing a boss 11 on the roller is thus normally held in contact with a pin 13<a> on the tail of the pawl 9, but when the speed of the roller becomes less than that of the pulley 8 the spring 10 lags and, contacting with a pin 13, tilts the pawl 9 into engagement with the teeth 7 to drive the ratchet-wheel. A tooth 6 thereon depresses the end 21 of a lever pivoted at 22 and attached to its other end, by a chain 24, to a stop lever 19. A nose 18 is thereby lifted out of the path of a bowl 20 on a saddle 15, so that a spring 17 impels the saddle 15 along the rod 16. The saddle 15 is connected by a lever 14 to a rockshaft 4 which controls the belt shifter or friction clutch. With the above mechanism may be combined a stopping and starting mechanism consisting of a starting-lever 25 on the shaft 4, which lever is actuated by a stud 26 or a segment 27 operated through a pinion on the setting-handle 29, and a lever 30 actuated by the knocking-off handle 31 to raise the lever 19 to release the saddle. A further stop-motion is actuated by a pin 34 on the draft-board, which pin is linked to a toothed segment 35 gearing with a pinion 36 on the rod 16, which is screwthreaded and carries a nut to which the lever 19 is pivoted. Rise of the draft-board thus advances the nut and allows the saddle to advance.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Oil Burners.
Inventor: JOHNSON SEWARD THOMAS
IPC: F23D11/04
Filed: 1911-04-11
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 8988. Johnson, S. T. April 11. Spray burners ; burners, regulating and controlling ; burners, attaching and mounting. - An electrically-operated device for mixing the oil and air is provided with common means for actuating the oil-supply valve and the motor switch. The mixing-fan casing 10 has a flange 12, Fig. 2, fitting between walls 6, 7 in a pan 2 mounted inside the fire-box 1. The fan comprises circular plates 20, supported by T-shaped spokes 18 from a hub 13, and between which are arranged the blades 21. Strips of wire 25, bent as shown in Fig. 9 beneath lugs 22, 23, project from one of the plates 20 so as to leave an annular space between them and the fan for the oil-delivery pipe 57. The hub 13 is hollow, being secured to the motor shaft 41, and is provided with an internal perforated web 16 and an enlarged part 27 slotted for pivotally mounting a pair of levers 29. These are weighted at 30, and have angled ends 31 to engage the collar 32 on the shaft 33. A plate 35 secured to the fan casing carries plates 38, between which the motor 39 is secured by screws 40. The fan is fixed by lugs 42 to a framework comprising beams 43, 44, on which are mounted the oil cut-off valve 49 and the actuating-stem 50. The valve communicates through the pipe 55 and inlet 37 with the pipe. 57, and its actuating-stem is provided with a cam 65 connected through a plunger 64 with the spring arm 67 of the motor switch, and with a cranked end 52 having an adjustable weight 54 and supported, when the valve is shut off, in a bracket 53. The oil supply is regulated by a needle valve 47, the lever 63 of which works over a graduated dial. When the apparatus is to be started, the arm 52 is raised and the valve 49 is thus opened and the switch 67 closed. The motor rotates the fan, and as oil is supplied through the pipe 57, it is broken up by the wires 25 and mixed with air preparatory to being burned in the fire-box. The rotation of the fan causes the weights to swing outwardly and, consequently, the levers 29 to depress the collar 32 against the spring 34 and withdraw the shaft 33. This allows the arm 58 to be rocked on its pivot 59 until its hooked end 60 engages the arm 52. If the power should fail, the fan slows down and the spring forces the shaft 33 outwards so as to rock the lever 58 to release the arm 52, which, in falling to the bracket 53, turns off the oil-valve 49 and opens the switch 67.

Title: Improvements in Sheet Delivery Apparatus for Printing Machines.
Inventor: DAVIS CHARLES HENRY
IPC: B65H29/36
Filed: 1911-10-09
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 22,152. Davis, C. H. Oct. 9. Delivery apparatus.- Sheets are taken from the impression cylinder A, more particularly of a Wharfedale class of printing-machine, by revolving grippers B, and are dropped on to the horizontal portion of a tape run D which is mounted partly in an horizontally - reciprocating carriage C<1> and partly in a verticallyreciprocating carriage C<3>. The tapes D may deliver the sheet direct to the table C<2> or first to drop-sheet delivery tapes J, which may be driven through two friction clutches K. A set of slidably-mounted fingers J<1> bridge the gap between the tapes D, J. The grippers B are on revolving arms, and are opened at the right time by a projection on a swinging counterbalanced arm x, which has an adjustable campiece V to engage a roller on frame C<3>. When the roller engages the cam V, the arm x is swung to the left and operates the grippers B, which allow the sheet to fall on to the tapes D. These tapes pass over a roller C in the travelling carriage C', rollers E, E<1>, E<2> in the fixed frame of the apparatus, and rollers F, F' which are spring-mounted in the carriage C<3>, the arrangement being preferably such that, as shown, the movement of the carriage C<3> is only half that of the carriage C<1>. The carriages C<1> and C<3> are connected by suitable gearing. The tapes D are driven through a chain T. The frame supporting the fingers J<1> slides in slots g, and is so operated by links d, f and a pin on the main frame, as to leave an open gap for the sheet to pass from the cylinder A to the grippers B, but to bridge the gap when the sheets are being rolled from the tapes D to the tapes J. The double friction clutch K is so operated through gearing i<1> and a fixed rack M that the tapes J are moved at a high speed on the outward run of the carriage, and at a low speed, but in the same direction, on the return movement of the carriage, the sheet being thus first run to the outer end of the tapes, which are then rolled from underneath it.
