Inventor: ECCLES WILFRED
IPC: B62D25/18
Filed: 1913-09-26
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 4969. Eccles, W. Sept. 26. Lateral-splash guards for the wheels of motor and other vehicles comprises one or more longitudinal ranks of yielding leaves or flexible strips g' threaded upon the lower member or members a of a framework which passes diametrically around the wheel and is supported by arms e mounted on the wheel axle. When the guard is used in conjunction with the steering-wheels, the cranked portions of the frame a are attached to the arms e by means of pin joints a<1> to enable the guard to swivel with the wheel, and a pin on the hub cap loosely sockets in the outer member of the frame a. Flexible end pieces h may be carried by the frame to complete the housing about the wheel. The guard may be combined with a casing or canopy to envelop the wheel.

Title: Calculating-apparatus.
Inventor: BREUER HEINRICH
Filed: 1913-05-19
Granted: 1914-05-19
Abstract: 11,575. Breuer, H. May 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Tabular calculators.-Apparatus for problems in multiplication and division comprises a cylinder 10, Fig. 3, bearing the multiplicands, a multiplier-indicating cylinder 60, and a series of laterally displaceable product-bearing cylinders 15 ... 24. The selected multiplier, multiplicand, and product are exposed respectively through apertures 66, 67, 68. In order to compute a required product, a shaft 4 is pushed inwards against its spring so as to clutch with it a shaft 3 carrying a drum 46; the shaft 4 is thereupon turned by means of the handle 6 until the given multiplicand is exhibited by the cylinder 10, fixed to the arms 9, through the aperture 67. During the rotation of the shaft 4, all the product-hearing cylinders 15 ... 24 are carried with it by the arms 9, which pass through longitudinal slots in the cylinders. The series of products corresponding to the given multiplicand are thus in the same horizontal line with it and with the aperture 68 for the products. The handle 6 is now released, and the handle 58 on the shaft 3 turned. Each rotation of the shaft 3 and drum 46 displaces laterally, without rotating it, one of the productbearing cylinders 15 ...24 from the threaded portion 47 to the threaded portion 48 by means of one of the helical grooves 62, 63, the cylinders 15 ... 24 having fingers adapted to engage the portions 47, 48 and the helical grooves. At the same time the multiplierindicating cylinder 60 is turned one-tenth of a rotation by the gearing 54, 55, 59, 61 for every complete turn of the handle 58 and shaft 3, and the multiplier corresponding to the particular product appearing in the aperture 68 is thus exhibited through the aperture 66. After the multiplicand has been set as described, to set, for instance, the multiplier 46, the handle 58 is turned through four and six-tenths rotations, which will cause the complete displacement to the right of four of the product-bearing cylinders and the partial displacement of the fifth cylinder to the position necessary to exhibit the required product through the aperture 68.

Abstract: 12,907. Smith, F. W. May 26. Sprinklers, automatic; sprinkling-apparatus, non-automatic; fire-extinguishing by steam.- Relates to fire-extinguishing and alarm systems for ships and buildings, of the type comprising main steam and water or other fluid pipes, a series of branch pipes 6, 7 leading respectively from the steam and water main pipes, tanks 8, and perforated distributing-pipes 9, which lead to the various holds or compartments and contain tensioned discharge-controlling cables 21 provided with a series of fuse blocks 22, whereby the cable is severed in the event of fire. Each cable 21 is connected to a sliding rod 17, acted upon by a compressed spring 18<a> and connected by a weighted lever 14 and a lever 15 to steam and water valves 12, 13, which are thus opened when one or more of the fuse blocks are melted.

Title: Improvements in or appertaining to means for filling bottles, jars, cans and other receptacles with liquid or semi-liquid substances or the like.
Inventor: ROBERTS THOMAS
IPC: B65B3/28
Filed: 1914-12-11
Granted: 1915-12-13
Abstract: 23,900. Roberts, T. Dec. 11. Bottling; filling jars, cans, and like receptacles.- Relates to machines for filling bottles, jars, cans, &c., with liquid, semi-liquid, or like substances, and comprises the use of a catch having a combined rotary and longitudinal movement for automatically releasing the feed-valve lever, whereby the feed of material to the receptacle is cut off when the requisite weight has been delivered. As shown in Fig. 1, the feed-valve within the filling-head 1 is raised to deliver the liquid by means of a foot-lever 6, rod 5, lever 3, and valve-spindle 2, the parts being retained in this position by the engagement of a catch 11 with the rod 5. The catch 11, Figs. 2 and 4, is mounted on a bracket 10 so as to be capable of both longitudinal and rotary movement and is pressed by a spring 12 against the rod 5. The end of the catch 11 is cut away to form a shoulder 11<a> and carries a projection 14. When the receptacle 9 has received the requisite weight of material, the pan 8 pulls down a chain 17, Fig. 1, and rocks a counterbalanced arm 16 extending from the catch 11, which is thus rotated and, owing to its contact with the rod 5, is also moved longitudinally against the resistance of a spring 12, the combined movements of the catch freeing the rod 5 and allowing the feed-valve to close. In a modification, the catch 11 operates in connexion with the lever 3, which is provided with a handle, the footlever 6 and rod 5 being dispensed with. In a further modification, the core of a solenoid controlled by the movements of the scale-pan operates the valve-catch.
