Abstract: 28,346. Wilson, J. Dec. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid) Pneumaticallyoperated fastenings. -In an 17 apparatus for locking and unlocking the doors of railway carriages by means of vacuum or compressed air, the emergency unlocking - means, which comprises a rod a<6> operated by the usual emergency chains and fitted with a lateral lever a<1> which raises a liftvalve a on the train-pipe b<1>, as described in Specications 12,815/ 12 and 23,332/12, is combined on each carriage with a device for accelerating the unlocking of the doors. This device comprises a cylinder a<3> in which works a diaphragm a<1>, the lift-valve being connected to the diaphragm by a rod through which runs a narrow passage a<10>. When the vacuum in the train - pipe b<1> is partly destroyed by the guard, the vacuum in the cylinder a<3> still persists momentarily, and the diaphragm a<1> with its attached valve a are lifted, thus accelerating the destruction of the vacuum throughout the system and expediting the unlocking. Return of the valve is effected by gravity. When compressed air is employed, the train-pipe passage b<1> opens to the reverse side of the valve, and the cylinder is inverted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stop Motion Devices for Power Looms.
IPC: D03D51/00

Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 12,412. Maschinenfabrik Ruti vorm. C. Honegger. May 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Stop motions, shuttle; brake mechanism -In fastreed looms, when the shuttle enters the box correctly, the swell mechanism 23, 24, Fig. 1, causes a lever 26 to be rocked and to act on a bowl 11 on a spring-controlled pawl 9 pivoted at 8 on the arm 6 of a two-armed lever 6, 29, suspended by means of an arm 14 and a spring 15. At the beat-up, the pawl is thus rocked away from the tooth 4 on a disk 3 on the crank shaft 1. If, however, the shuttle is not correctly boxed, the pawl engages the tooth and the lever 6, 29 is rocked. The rounded forward end of the arm 6 acts on a lever 18 connected to the loom stopping- mechanism, while a brake shoe 31 adjustably connected to the arm 29 is moved into contact with the fly-wheel 2, so that the loom is stopped without stressing the lay. In a modification, the pawl 9, Fig. 2, is connected by a two part connecting-rod 37, 36 to an arm 33 on a shaft provided with a . spring-controlled toothed disk 34, the pawl 9 being thus normally withdrawn from the toothed disk 3. If, however, the shuttle is incorrectly boxed, at the beat-up of the lay, an arm 43 engages and rocks the toothed disk, the two-part rod 37, 36 then turning the pawl 9 towards the disk 3. A spring 41, which connects the parts 37, 36, holds the pawl resiliently in contact with the disk. The pawl may be mounted upon a rectilinearlymovable part.

A series of baffling-devices in the form of toothed wheels 18 is arranged on the valve spindle. According to the Provisional Specification, the air is admitted to the fuel in stages, the mixture being expanded stage by stage to effect atomization.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Variable-speed Gearing.
Inventor: PEDERSON MIKAEL
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-11-21
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 22,579. Pedersen, M. Nov. 21, 1912. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing suitable for motor and other cycles comprises planet gears 26, 35, 33, Fig. 1, adapted to turn together and carried by a hub shell 23. The gear 26 is driven by an internally-toothed ring 1, which is connected to a driving-sprocket 2. The gear 36 is adapted to slide on a fixed spindle 60 to vary the speed. The gear 36 is always in mesh with the gear 35, which is wide. A central gear 40 meshing with the gear 33 is connected by a ratchet clutch 34 to a sleeve 39, which is secured to the drum 42. In the configuration shown, the gear 36 is connected to the shell 23 by clutch teeth 37. The gearing turns solid for the high speed. When the gear 36 is moved to the right to disengage the teeth 37, a ' free engine' position is obtained if the drum 42 is free to turn. If the drum 42 is held by a brake, the clutch 34 operates to hold the gear 40 stationary, and the low speed results. The intermediate speed is effected by sliding the gear 36 to the right until clutch teeth upon it engage teeth on the sleeve 39, the drum 42 being braked. The gear 36 is operated by a rod which slides in the axle 60, and is engaged at its outer end by a lever 46. The lever 46 and a brake-actuating lever are operated in unison by a doubly-acting cam 45. By appropriate alterations, two speeds only, or four speeds, may be obtained.
