Patent GB-190213183-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Mechanism for Playing Musical Instruments
Filed: 1902-06-10
Granted: 1903-03-05
Abstract: 13,183. Lake, H. H., [Aeolian Co.]. June 10. Automatic instruments.-The object of the invention is to provide means for accenting notes, either by apparatus like piano-players which are distinct from the instruments on which they operate, or by instruments which are self-contained. The wind-chest D is furnished with high-tension receivers, and communicates through a gridiron valve g' with a chamber E' leading to the pneumatic playing-devices. A low-tension receiver S<3> communicates through a trunk D<3> and another gridiron valve g<1> with a separate chamber E', also leading to the pneumatic devices. The valves g<1>, g<2> are connected together so that, when one is closed, the other is opeo. In the ordinary way wind is supplied from the low-tension receiver, the valve g<2> being therefore closed. When, however, it is required to accent a note, the valve g<2> is opened, and the high-tension receiver operates. The valve g<2> is opened and closed again very rapidly by a pneumatic device operated by special holes in the tune-sheet, and the hole corresponding to the note which is to be accented is cut slightly in rear of those which arc sounded at the same time, the higher pressure causing it to sound at the same time. There are thus two holes for an accented note, one proper to the note itself, and the other operating the pressure-changing device. H is an expression valve which can be moved so as to cause all or most of the wind supply to take place through the valve g<1>, and thus produce very soft effects. F is a valve which is closed while the tune-sheet is being re-wound, so as to prevent the instrument from sounding. R are the bellows.

Abstract: 25,840. Howarth, F. A. Nov. 24. Electric railways and tramways.- Relates to a conduit system of electrical supply for railways or tramways. Fig. 2 shows a view of the inside of the conduit, one side being removed ; the collector is also shown. Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional elevation of the collector and conduit. The supply conductor is encased in a flexible tubular enclosure formed of a series of insulated sections 7, and consists of sections 1 secured together and insulated as shown in the sectional view, Fig. 4. The splice box 8 is adapted at its upper portion to receive, but be insulated from, the neighbouring ends of the tube sections 7, while the lower portion is telescoped into the standard 18, working against the spring 14. The conduit is formed with a slotted cover, through which the trolley or collector 26 can partially pass. The trolley well is formed of three separately-insulated wheels, the side wheels carrying the return current from the motors to the conduit cover and the centre one the supply to the motors. As the trolley passes along the slot in the conduit cover, it presses the flexible casing 7 downwards into contact with the supply conductor 1, thus receiving the supply current as it. passes over the insulated sections. When the trolley has passed, the spring 14 forces the casing 7 upwards so as to close the slot in the conduit cover. When the casing 7 becomes worn, it is only necessary to rotate it after unloosening the cover 11 of the splice box. The feeder 5 may be connected, as shown in Fig. 4.

Filed: 1903-02-02
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 2439. Humber, S. H. Feb. 2. Direct steam-pressure apparatus.-Steam is admitted to a chamber, such as A, and condenses, thus causing water to enter, which is afterwards expelled by the re-admission of the steam. Two forms of apparatus are described. In both, the water is supplied by a pipe D opening into a valve chamber C having a number of small outlets. In the form shown, the steam is supplied by a pipe B, and the steam valve K is alternately opened and closed by means of two buckets G, I, connected to its spindle, and having small outlets in their bottoms. Part or all of the liquid discharged enters the buckets G, I, which are thus filled. The bucket G, ultimately empties into the bucket I, and the valve K is thus moved from its open position shown to its closed position. On the bucket I becoming empty, the valve K is again opened (the bucket G being the heavier), and the process is repeated. In the second form of apparatus, Fig. 1, the steam is supplied by a small boiler B, which holds just sufficient for each discharge, and is re-filled every time from the valve chamber C by a pipe E.

Abstract: 21,279. Weaver, W. J., and Hoffman, C. F. Oct. 3. Damping envelopes and the like.-Consists in means for moistening gummed surfaces, such as stamps, the sealing-flaps o f envelopes, or the like. For reducing evaporation and obviating overflow, a vessel 1 of glass or the like has a constricted neck 2 surrounding an open-ended tubular stem 5 attached to an inverted elastic cup 4 resting on the bottom of the receptacle, which contains water. The moistener proper consists of a finger-piece in the form of a split spring tube, shown partly in section at 7 ; attached thereto, as shown, is a cup 8 carrying an absorbent material 9, such as a sponge. The moistener is fitted to one of the fingers and the absorbent portion thereof is inserted into the cup 3 and pressed against the upper end of the stem 5, so as to depress the same, whereby the cup 4 is compressed as shown, and water is forced upwards and into the cup 3, moistening the sponge. The head 6 prevents the tube 5 from being thrust right through the constriction 2. On release, the cup 4 assumes its normal form, and the tube rising allows the water to run back from the cup 3, which itself prevents any overflow.
