Title: Improvements in or connected with Brake Mechanism for Railway and like Vehicles.
IPC: B60T17/08
Filed: 1910-08-09
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 18,795. Consolidated Brake and Engineering Co., and Luard, E. S. Aug. 9. Force - transmitting - mechanism.- In vacuum brakes for railway and like vehicles, having the cylinders mounted on trunnions in the usual way, the motion of the pistonrod is transmitted to the brake blocks through the medium of bellcranks or toggle-links carried by the cylinder, the arrangement being such as to equalize the pressute on the brake blocks without setting up a bending action in the piston-rod. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention, in which the piston-rod b is connected by a floating cross-head c and links g to the inner ends of bell-crank levers d, which are pivoted at d' to links e or brackets connected to the cylinder a. The outer ends of the bell-cranks d are connected to the push or pull rods of the brake mechanism, the pivots d' being further connected by links h. In a modification, the crosshead c is provided with pin-and-slot connexions to the bell-cranks d. In the form shown diagrammatically in Fig. 8, the piston-rod is connected to toggle-links j, which are suspended from the cylinder by links l and connected to the brake rods at m. In the form shown in Fig. 11, the pistonrod is connected directly or through the cross-head c to levers or closed systems of links o, which are hung from the cylinder and connected to the brake rods. In another form, Fig. 14, the piston-rod is connected to links p, which are suspended by links e and connected to the brake rods.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Disc Talking Machine Records in Celluloid or Cellulose Material.
Inventor: SEYMOUR FLORENCE MAUD
IPC: B29C43/02
Filed: 1910-10-22
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 24,552. Seymour, F. M. Oct. 22. Records.- Flexible record disks of celluloid and cellulose compositions are duplicated in a press A supporting the record blank C with the matrix B adapted to be forced down upon it by a screw E carried in a clamp D. A supply of steam or hot water at a pressure of 100 lb. per square inch is directed at the centre of the blank from a pipe F, thus driving outwards all air bubbles and moisture, which escape through peripheral apertures H. As the celluloid softens, these apertures are closed, and the steam pressure then finishes the transference of the sound impression in about two minutes for films twenty-thousandths of an inch in thickness. Cold air is then directed through pipes G, F. also under pressure, to cool the record, after which it is finished and removed.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Giving Warning when a Train Passes a Signal Placed at "Danger."
IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 3978. Compagnie de Signaux Electriques pour Chemins de Fer. Feb. 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-A signal or brakecontrolling device on the engine is operated when a signal is passed at danger by the breaking of a wire c carried in insulated supports at the front of the locomotive, by contact with a member on the track. The wire c, in a normally closed circuit on the locomotive including a magnet a controlling the alarm device and a battery b, meets an arm o<III> if this is in the raised position before the wheels meet an arm o<IV>. The arm o<III> is normally maintained in its loweted position by a magnet h against the action of a counterweight r. The magnet h has two coils, of which one g is in a circuit controlled by contacts on the visual signal and the other j is connected across the track rails which are in insulated sections, a battery being connected at the other end of the sction. Each coil, if energized, is strong enough to hold the armature so that it is necessary for a train to be in a section and the signal at danger to allow the contact arm o<III> to rise. Any break or defect in any circuit will, however, cause a danger indication. Two indications may be be given on a locomotive by duplicate apparatus so arranged that the stretched wires each span one half the width of the track.

The table is provided with spring guards 91 at the corners to prevent application of paste to the sides of the pile of sheets. The pneumatic holders 20 are connected by a pipe 34, and a chamber 35 containing a piston drawn upwards by springs 95, with an exhausting pump 33. The grippers 60, 61 are drawn across the machine by a cord 74 and lever 73, and are returned by a spring drum 77. The upper arm is lowered to close the grippers by contact with a stop 72 and raised by a stop 71.

Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 20,280. Allison, C. A., [Standard Rock Drill Co.]. Sept. 13. Percussive drills.-In a pneumatic tool, more especially a hammer drill which is held against the rock by a feed bar, a throttle valve 14 is adapted to open a chamber 28 to the motive-fluid supply 20 through ports 34, 27, the fluid passing from the chamber 28 through ports 29 to the hammer cylinder and simultaneously through a port 33 in the valve to the feed bar cylinder 12. In another position, the valve is adapted to open the feed bar cylinder to atmosphere through ports 24, 31, and in still another position, to open the feed bar cylinder to the supply 20 through a port 23 and a port in the valve, the supply to the chamber 28 being closed in these two positions. The supply to chamber 28 may be partly throttled to give slower working, the supply from the chamber to the feed bar cylinder being always of the same pressure as that to the hammer cylinder. When the supply to chamber 28 is fully opened, a recess 43 in the valve connects two passages 35, 36 to open an auxiliary exhaust from the hammer cylinder, thus reducing back pressure and increasing the speed.
