Granted: 1912-04-01
Abstract: 7986. Barnich, E. T., Richardson, C. S., Richardson, F. P., and Defordt, J. F. March 30. Cam gears; beat valves; separate admission and exhaust valves. - A reciprocating-piston machine suitable as a pump, brake, or motor is shown in Fig. 1. The valve-operating shafts 7 are fitted with eccentrics 8, which are mounted in holes cast in the halves of the crank casing. Curved levers 10, carrying rollers 12, the ends of which engage the valvespindles, are pivoted on shafts 7. The rollers 12 bear on cam surfaces a, a', b, b<1> on the crank webs. The valves 13 are normally held to their seats by springs, and control pipes 18, which serve either as suction or delivery when the apparatus is used as a pump, or as inlet or exhaust when employed as a motor. The lifts of the valves are adjusted by varying the eccentrics 8.

Title: Lubricating Pump.
Inventor: HOCHGESAND JEAN NEPOMUCENE
IPC: F16N13/04
Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 19,463. Hochgesand, J. N. Sept. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Pumps in series; valves, arrangement of; stroke, varying.-In a lubricating-pump having driven valves and a visible flow of oil, the suction valves are constituted by caps fitting over the pump pistons and having a number of slots so as to form gripping-devices which grip the pump piston and serve at the same time for the passage of oil into the working space of the pump. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, in which two pumps J', J<2> work in series with a visible drip device N between them, a single piston I carrying spherical ended split valves K<1>, K<2> at the ends serves for both pumps. The valves K', K<2> are carried forwards or backwards by the piston at the commencement of each stroke until they come into contact with the valve seats or with the cylinder J respectively, whereupon oil passes through the slots in the valves and is either drawn into the space vacated by the piston or forced through the delivery valves M, Q. In a modification, the single pump piston J is replaced by a pump bucket and a single-acting pump piston working in combination. The piston I is operated by a lever E actuated by a cam D and spring G. The stroke is adjusted at starting by means of a screwed stop R and during working by means of a rod V having two notches of unequal depth U, U' against which the stop R abuts. The rod V can be adjusted by means of the handle shown, so that either of the notches engages with the stop R, thus effecting a rough adjustment of the pump delivery.

Conductors, methods of laying. - Overhead catenary suspension conductors for double tracks are erected by building up the separate structures side by side on a series of standards and then hauling the structures into position over the track. As shown in Fig. 1, the separate systems a, b, and c, d, are assembled on brackets e on the track standards f, then, in order to interrupt traffic as little as possible, the systems are hauled into position by ropes carrying hooks and supported on pulleys n on guide-bars i. The guide-bars i are so shaped as not to intersect the profile on the minimum structure gauge represented by dotted lines, and instead of guide-bars pulleys fixed to the cross-arm m may be used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cables for Electric Current Distributing Systems.
Inventor: MERZ CHARLES HESTERMAN
IPC: H02H7/22
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 26,857. Merz, C. H., and Hunter, P. V. Feb. 16. Cables and compound conductors for use in systems involving the distribution of current by leads arranged in parallel, such as is described in Specification 4004/11 for instance, are made with the parallel leads separated from one another by material of low insulation value, the insulation being commensurate with momentary pressure differences caused by leakage for example. The leads may be arranged as at a, b, Fig. 1, concentrically with one another, separated by insulation q, and three pairs may be arranged as a single cable or a single pair may be made up into one cable. The leads may be each hemispherical in crosssection so that when put together they form a pair of circular cross-section, or several pairs may be arranged concentrically with one another and in this case the leads, other than those of the central pair, are in the form of half-tubes. To increase mutual induction, the conductors of each pair are placed very close together, and to give the leads equal impedance and to avoid the results of unequal inductive effects on the two leads, the conductor is divided into sections and the outer and inner conductors are connected alternately.

Abstract: 14,294. Gilman, F., and Clements, G. F. June 19. [Cognate Application, 15,202/12.] Cleaning internally, rotary appliances for.-A tube-cleaning device which may be rotated by hand or power has a drill nose 4 and a tapered part with serrated edges 5, the serrations forming part of a screw-thread. The tapered part merges into a twisted part, which by its form helps to remove debris, and the edges of which give a scraping action. The shank 7 is also of square or other angular cross-section, to serve as a finishing scraper. Removal of debris may be facilitated by fluid pressure, such as a stream of air or water, which may be conveyed to the neighbourhood of the nose of the tool through a copper tube housed in a groove running along the device. The tool may also be used by rotating the tube in a lathe, and holding the tool against rotation. According to Provisional Specification 14,294/12, the serrations 5 may be annular, instead of screw-form, and the shank of the tool may be tubular to convey the fluid for removing debris.

Granted: 1913-09-16
Abstract: 21,056. Petermann, O. Sept. 16. Type - lever actions. - The type - levers are mounted in separate two-part hangers, each type-lever being pivoted at one side on one part of the hanger and being provided with a relatively large concentric surface or rib which bears directly on the other part of the hanger. The hangers are arranged so that the type-levers can be separately adjusted for wear or alinement without removing the type-levers or the hangers from the machine. The hangers are preferably made from stampings. In the hanger shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the type-lever is formed with a concentric rib 34 and a tapered aperture 36 formed by forcing outwards a part 37, the rib bearing directly on the part 19 of the hanger and the apertures engaging a pintle 38 formed on the part 20 of the hanger. The part 19 is formed with an aperture 38<a> to afford clearance for the part 37. The part 19 is formed with a rear flange 21 adapted to be secured to the frame of the machine by screws entering threaded holes 24. To permit of vertical adjustment of the hanger, the screws are arranged in vertical slots in the frame. The flanges 21 are tapered to allow the hangers to be assembled in the form of a segment as shown in Fig. 2. The part 20 is formed with an off-set part 26 to receive the type-lever and with a lip 43 to exclude dust and erasings. The parts 19, 20 are secured together by screws 28, 31, the screw 31 being accessible to a thin wrench and being used to spring the parts together for the purpose of adjusting the type-lever for wear &c. The screws 28, 31 and the pivot 38 are preferably in vertical alinement. The part 20 may be formed with dowel-projections 39, Fig. 5, engaging apertures 40 in the part 19. In the construction shown in Fig. 7, the adjusting- screw 47 is mounted in the flange 43 and is formed with a tapered end 46 engaging a tapered opening 45 in a flange 44 on the part 19. In modifications, the pivot 38 may be attached to, instead of being formed on, the part 19 and may consist of a pin with a hemispherical end engaging a tapered aperture in the type-lever; or the type-lever and the part 20 may be formed with tapered apertures engaging a bearing-ball. In the construction shown in Fig. 14, the two parts 62, 63 of the hanger are secured together by screws 72, 73 and dowel-pins 74, the screw 73 being used to spring the parts together for adjustment. The part 63 is formed with an off-set part 77 to receive the flat circular end 76 of the type-lever. The type-lever is pivoted on one side on the part 63 by means of a bearing-ball 80 engaging tapered apertures 78, 79. The other side of the type-lever engages directly the part 62, which is formed with an aperture 81 of slightly less diameter than the end of the type-lever. The part 62 is formed with arms for attachment to the frame. Specification 11,062/00 is referred to.
