Abstract: 894. Salles, G. Feb. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 1529/08.] Buoys.-Relates to improvements in means for locking and releasing buoys to establish communication between submarine vessels and the surface. Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan with the balance 22 and the upper valve box removed. The locking-bolts 8, which engage collars 7 on the buoys 6, are double and are connected by a recessed cross-beam 91, which allows water from the well 4 to pass through the pipe 16 to the valve 23. This valve has a rod 92 seating in a piston 93 provided with a rubber washer 100, which forms a tight joint when pressed against the end of the cylinder 94, stuffing-boxes and packing being dispensed with. The piston-rod 95 is connected by links 96 to two curved levers 97 pivoted at 99 on the nut of the balance 22 and at 98 on the bolt box. A cylinder 101 recessed at the top gives access to the rack 12 and pinion 13 for setting the bolts 8. The fluid-pressure piston 14 has a rubber washer 105, and the rod of the piston 14 is provided with a cross-bar 106 connected by rods 107 to a second cross-bar 109 secured to the toothed rack 12. Springs 110 between the cross-bar 109 and the flange of the bracket 9 maintain the bolts 8 in engagement with the collars 7 of the buoys. When the water pressure in the pipe 16 overcomes the pressure of the spring of the balance 22, the valve 23 opens, and the piston 93 is forced to the end of its stroke, carrying with it the link 96 and the lever 97, which engages the cross-bar 106 and releases the bolts 8. Alternatively, the bolts may be released by the action on the piston 14 of compressed fluid admitted by the valve 21, as described in the parent Specification.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 19,582. Lawrence, W. H., and Kennedy, R., [Burrell & Co., D. H.]. Aug. 26. Cow-milkers.-The air inlet on the claw connecting the teat-cups to the milk-pail is placed between the nozzles leading to the cups and the main nozzle. In one form, the main nozzle 38, Fig. 9, opens into the body of the claw 37 carrying the nozzles 39, 40 leading to the teatcups, and air is admitted by the aperture 45 in the conical core 42, which is screwed into the end of the claw. The core may contain filtering- material and is closed by a perforated cap 43. The core may slide into the body 37, being secured by the cap 43. The body of the claw may be conical, the nozzles 39, 40 being arranged around the enlarged cap, which also carries the core and has a central aperture covered by the perforated cap 43. The chamber for the filtering-material may be integral with the body 37 at the end opposite to the nozzle 38, the air passing into the claw by a central tube. In this case, the space within the body 37 may be of the same diameter as the nozzle 38. In other forms, the space within the body 37 is conical, having its larger end towards the nozzle 38, which may be detachable, secured by a screwring. The filtering-chamber may be dispensed with, and the air admitted either by a simple aperture in the wall of the nozzle or by a longitudinal hole in the wall of the claw in such a position as to enter the conical space only at the large end. In a modification, shown in Fig. 11, the body of the claw is made in two parts 70, 71, the latter carrying a conical projection 72 forming two annular tapering' chambers for the milk from the front and rear teats respectively. In other forms having the conical space in the body 37, the air may be admitted centrally from a filtering-chamber integral with the body, and the nozzles 39, 40 may all be arranged in a straight longitudinal line. The tapering form of the milk-chamber causes the milk to fill it properly, and the position of the air inlet causes the apparatus to produce a sucking noise audible at a distance, to give warning when the milk ceases to flow, and to induce the cow to give the milk more freely.

Abstract: 2907. Cauderay, G. E., and Chauve, J. Feb. 5. Cranks, adjustablethrow.-In Figs. 2 and 3 is shown a form of adjustable - throw crank which may be used in ratchet gearing for transmitting rotary motion. An eccentric f is carried on the crankpin B of the driving- shaft A, and can be turned relatively thereto. A pin i, carried by a lug g projecting from the eccentric f, rests in a slot k in a disk l, which rotates with the shaft A and may be turned relatively thereto. The disk l is secured to a sleeve m which is connected to an inner sleeve p by a feather r working in a helical groove q. The sleeve p is connected to the shaft A by a feather o working in an oppositely-inclined groove n. Longitudinal movement of the sleeve p effected by a non-rotary handle s thus effects the relative turning of the disk l and so produces the variation in the throw of the compound crank-pin.
