Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 16,861. Jacoubof, J. July 22. Skid; locking by frictional detents. - Backward movement of railway trains &c. is automatically prevented by a braking-car at the rear of the train carrying gripping-apparatus which is dropped into contact with the rails when reverse movement occurs. The gripping- members 16, Figs. 1 and 14, are connected together by links 26, and have pin - and - slot engagement with the wedge-shaped ends 10<1> of skid blocks 10, which are carried by arms 11 mounted on a shaft 4. The shaft 4 is supported by arms 1, 5, the former of which carry wheels 3, the arms being retained in the position shown in Fig. 1 by arms 8 having hooked ends which are held in engagement with a shaft 7 on the arms 1 by a catch 13, Figs. 1 and 5, weighted at 15. The arms 11 bear upon a cross-bar 12 connecting the arms 8. When backward movement occurs, the catch 13 is automatically released as described below, and the blocks 10 fall on to the rails, thereby forcing the wedge portions 10<1> into the grippers, this effect being increased by contact of the blocks with the wheels of the car. For releasing the catch 13, a cord 20 is hooked to a pulley 19 on the shaft 7 and connected also to a pulley 21, which is mounted on the car axle so as to be rotated only when backward motion occurs, such rotation bringing the catch 13 to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5. The pulley 21 is made in two parts hinged together and secured by a locking-device as shown in Fig. 6.

Title: Apparatus for Determining the Position of Points in Space by Means of Perspective Views.
Inventor: KAMMERER GUSTAV
Filed: 1914-05-23
Granted: 1915-08-23
Abstract: 12,710. Kammerer, G. May 24, 1913, [Convention date]. Maps.-Relates to apparatus for determining the relative positions of points in space from perspective views or photographs, for the production, for example, of relief maps, of the kind in which projection rays passing through identical points on the views or photos are represented by rods, the intersection of which gives the position of the point in space. The apparatus comprises essentially base-plates 18, 19, on which the views C, D are positioned, rods 8, 9, representing the projection rays, and a pointer 7 which indicates the required points in space. The rods 8, 9 are jointed by balls 10, 11 to a platform 2 and pass through balls 12, 13, the centres A<1>, B<1> of which represent the centres of projection and are positioned apart according to the magnification or reduction desired. Thus, to effect a magnification of two, the position of the centre B' with respect to the centre A<1> is determined, as shown in Fig. 2<a>, by drawing a line A<1>, B" parallel to the line joining the actual centres of projection but twice as long, and then drawing an horizontal line B", B' equal to the distance between the balls 10, 11. The balls 12, 13 are carried by bearings 40, 41 in arms 26, 27 adjustable on fixed arms 24, 25 onthe base 22. The base-plates 18, 19, which slide on rods 36, 37, are placed at distances from the centres A', B<1> equal to those of the views from their centres of projections, and the views C, D are correctly positioned thereon with respect to the centres A<1>, B'. Pointers 16, 17 movable ove. the views are provided and are carried by parallel linkages 20, 21 fitted with bearings for balls 14, 15 embracing the rods 8, 9. The rods 8, 9 thus always move parallel to the imaginary projection rays passing through the points on the views beneath the pointers 16, 17. The platform 2 is vertically adjustable on an horizontallv movable framework 1 attached to the base 22 by a parallel linkage 43. Since the platform 2 is thus always moved parallel to itself, all points in it follow the same path as the centre of the ball 10, which, as indicated in Fig. 2<a>, may be regarded as the intersection of the rods 8, 9, since the rod 9 is only displaced parallel to itself. If, therefore, the rods 8, 9 are adjusted by moving the platform 2 vertically and the framework 1 horizontally until the pointers 16, 17 are brought simultaneously over identical points on the views C, D, the pointer 7 indicates the relative position of the point in space. Specification 1747/12, [Class 97(i), Optical systems &c.], is referred to.
