Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 19,606. Cowles, A. H. Aug. 27. Tunnel furnaces.-In furnaces and kilns of the tunnel type means are provided for preventing communication between the spaces above and below the trucks during the feeding- in of a new truck. The furnace shown comprises a vestibule 2 at the entrance end, which can be isolated both from the atmosphere and the main body of the tunnel by sand seals and sliding doors. A loaded truck 6 is run into the vestibule on a transfer trolley 4, the door 22 is raised, and the truck is fed forward into the tunnel by a ram 9 operated through suitable gearing from an electric motor 10, which runs slowly during the forward movement of the ram, but quickly on the reverse. The motor is controlled by a switch 15 automatically operated by pins 17, 17' on the ram, the former of which reverses the motor while the latter cuts off the current. Springs 16<1> are provided to buffer the return stroke. In its movement through the vestibule the truck is followed by a partition 9<a> having yielding edges 9<b>, which closes the space above the floor of the truck and prevents escape of gas or entrance of air. Leakage of gas from the combustion chamber is prevented by maintaining in the space beneath the trucks a pressure of air or inert gas slightly above the pressure in the combustion chamber, and baffles 38 either fixed to the trucks, or hinged as shown, are provided to prevent too rapid flow of air along the tunnel. The sand seal troughs 40, Fig. 11, in the side wall of the furnace are fed from a hopper 48 supplied by a shoot and conveyer, and the overflow from the trough is collected in a receptacle 49 and removed by a conveyer 50. To reduce friction, graphite, mica, or other similar material may be mixed with the sand. A corrugated sheet 45 is interposed between the car frame 43 and the firebrick covering 44.

Title: A Liquid Change Speed Gear, more particularly applicable to Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: SCHIESARI MARIO
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1914-01-07
Abstract: 463. Schiesari, M. Jan. 7. Fixed-abutment type. - In an hydraulic change-speed gear, particularly applicable to motor-vehicles, the liquid discharged by the pump can be caused to act on a single driven rotor in one or more compartments arranged side by side, the pressure liquid being conducted to all compartments whether acting or not. The rotary pump, Fig. 2, is of the outwardlysliding vane type, its controlling-valve 42 being shown in the position for reversed running. In its forward running position, the pressure liquid is supplied through the ducts 41 to all the compartments of the motors 5, the controlling-valves 4 being situated between the discharge of the motors and the suction of the pump. In Fig. 10, a form of the rotor is shown in which the divisions are formed by transverse ribs 6<11> on the rotor itself, these divisions being of unequal size. The discharge of fluid from the motor is controlled by the valve 18<1>, of which three sections are shown in Fig. 12, corresponding to the three divisions A, B, C, Fig. 10. In the position shown, the conduit 3' is closed, so that no liquid can reach the rotor, while the pumped liquid circulates idly through the passages 41, 3. This position corresponds to stoppage of the rotor, since the liquid cannot circulate, and thus a braking effect is obtained. By suitably positioning the valve 18<1>, seven speeds are obtainable by combining the working spaces A, B, C. In another form of rotor, only one of the compartments is brought into action at one time, the section excluded being short-circuited.

Abstract: 18,794. Landis, F. F. April 18, [Convention date]. Dash-pots; connexions, attachments, and adjustments, applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs. - Relates to fluid shockabsorbers for vehicles in which fluid is admitted to a cylinder during a shock, and is expelled through a restricted passage to cushion the rebound, and consists in employing a device in which a piston has a short floating movement, which serves to open passages to give a free passage to the fluid during a shock, and to close the passages to give a restricted passage to the fluid during the rebound. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a liquid casing A is connected to the suspension spring of the vehicle by links A<1> A<2> . A cylinder B, open at the base, is guided in the casing by lugs 13, 14, its motion being limited by a stop 15. The cylinder is seated on an annular ridge 16 of the casing A a by-pass 17 being provided in the ridge. A piston C slides in the cylinder and is loosely connected to its hollow rod D by a pin-andhole connexion 18, 19. The rod D is connected to an arm E by a link 21 pivoted to the casing on a fluid-tight, bearing, the arm and link having engaging radial serrations round the pivot to permit rigid and adjustable connexion between them. The base of the pistonrod is seated in the aperture in the piston. forming a fluid-tight joint. Upward motion of the vehicle axle causes the approach of the arms E, A<1>, A<2>, raising the piston-rod out of the hole in the piston, and the cylinder B from its seat 16, and permitting free flow of liquid into the cylinder. On the return, the rod closes the aperture in the piston and the cylinder seats itself on the ridge 16, so that the liquid is compelled to traverse the by-pass 17 and the space between the sides of the cylinder and its casing A, the movement being thereby cushioned. The hollow d in the rod D is full of air, which cushions the initial return movement.
