Title: Improvements in Railway Fog Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: PARKER JOHN
Filed: 1908-04-09
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 7913. Parker, J. April 9. [Patent of Addition to No. 18,584, A.D. 1905.] Detonator apparatus.-The carrier tube of the apparatus described in Specification No. 18,584, A.D. 1905, is slotted at its rear end to receive the detonators from the magazine. Mechanism is provided to lock the apparatus when the magazine is nearly or completely exhausted, and a cover is provided for all the working parts. The tube c is moved in guiding-tubes b<x> <x> by means of a rod c<3>. The back end c' of the tube c is slotted to receive the detonators from the magazine a when the tube is pushed forward to place a detonator d on the rail. On the back stroke, the whole of the detonators in the tube are pushed forward in the tube by a pin bx at the back of the tube b. In order to indicate that the magazine is exhausted, a roller a<7> is placed in the magazine and, when the last detonator has dropped, falls down a groove a<8> into the line of motion of the pin c<6> on the slider c, which is thereby prevented from moving a full stroke. The roller a<7> may be released by depression of the pawl a<12>, thereby allowing the roller a<7> to fall out of the slot in the side of the casing. The working parts are enclosed in the casing e, e<1> e<2>, and a cap may be screwed on the tube b<x> <x> to close the end.

Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 8312. Bishop, F. A. April 14. Refuse, collecting; sweeping-machines.-A motorpropelled vehicle with special arrangements for'the pneumatic collection of street refuse is described. The propelling-engine 4 also drives the rotary fan and the brushes 20, 21, and the refuse is delivered by the fan to a separator 13 and receptacle 12. The fan casing 18 is connected centrally to a suction head 19 of the section shown in Fig. 1, the upper end being circular and the lower end the full width of the machine. The brushes 20, 21 are journaled in bearings in the lower ends of hangers 23, 24 and rotate in opposite directions on either side of the lower end of the suction head 19, one brush having a continuous covering of bristles while the other has intervening spaces 22. Pivoted links 25, 26 connect the hangers 23, 24 to supports 27. The arms 26 carry sprocket-wheels 28, 31 driven in opposite directions by a chain 33, connected by gearing with the driving-shaft 6 of the engine 4. The brushes 20, 21 are rotated from the wheels 28, 31 by chains 29, 32 respectively, and are enclosed in a hood 41 with a telescopic lower section 42 carried by the axles of the brushes. The separator 13 is shown in Fig. 4. The dust &c. entering by a pipe 15 is thrown against a conical deflector 16 by the fan blast and falls into the receptacle 12, the air escaping through the top opening 17. The receptacle 12, with sloping walls 44, has bottom drop-doors 45 held: up by two L-shaped catches 47, Fig. 5, engaging pins 48 on the doors. The catches 47 have slotted arms 49 connected by an eye 50, to which is attached a flexible connexion 51 operated from the driver's seat.

Abstract: 10,857. Herbst, J. H., Fass, H., and Shank, M. Dec. 24, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Ingress and egress of passengers, controlling.- Passenger cars are provided with an entranceregistering turnstile combined with a sliding door so as to economize room by permitting the use of shorter arms on the turnstile, and also with a separate exit door adapted, when open, to lock the turnstile so as to avoid confusion between entering and outgoing passengers. The turnstile shaft j carries on its lower end a toothed wheel m gearing with a pinion n, which, by means of a connecting- rod o, reciprocates a door h sliding in the partition f. The turnstile is adapted, under the control of a spring dog 9 engaging the disk 10, to turn a quarter revolution for each person, and in the same time, the door h makes a complete to-and-fro movement. The screen u serves to ensure the passenger's turning the turnstile the required amount, and also saves confusion of the outgoing passenger by shielding the turnstile from his view. The exit door 2 is provided with a dependent rod working in a slot 3 in the floor of the platform and connected by a link 6 with a lever 5, the nose 7 of which is thereby brought into engagement with a ratchet-wheel 8 on the turnstile shaft so as to lock the latter when the exit door is open.

Abstract: 20,281. Fauber, W. H. Sept. 26. Hulls.-The V- shaped hydroplane members described in Specification No. 7834, A.D. 1908, are modified so that the surfaces b, Fig. 1, have a different rearward inclination at the centre or keel line than at the sides, as shown, for example, in Fig. 3<a>. The lateral angle of inclination gradually increases from stem to stern, the forward hydroplane member merging into the keel so as to provide a centreboard effect. The hull towards the stern narrows above the rear hydroplane member b<8>, as shown in Fig. 4. The hydroplanes are designed to operate at a considerable depth, an even supply of water being thereby supplied to propellers p, the tubes h of which are located on a semicircular ledge at the stern formed by the contours d projecting downwards and rearwards to meet the upwardly curved extension e of the keel. Propellers may also be arranged beneath the hydroplane surfaces, while the engines r may be located at the offsets n of the hydroplane surfaces. Air tubes s, which extend from the bottom of the boat and pass out through the sides of the hull at a point above the water level, are provided with cowls s<2>. The air tubes s may be used to ventilate the ship, and by connexion with the funnels and boiler-room the smoke may be conducted beneath the bottom of the vessel. Grooves t may also be provided on the sides of the vessel and across the hydroplane surfaces to increase the supply of air and further reduce friction.

Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 17,803. Dickson, W. K. L. July 31. Variable - speed and reversing gearing. - Relates to variable-speed gearing of the class comprising an epicyclic train, the planet - carrier of which is caused to slip by variablespeed friction gearing acting through worm. gearing. The reversing-gear comprises a sliding toothed gear, which acts as a clutch. Planet pinions e mesh with a gear b, Fig. 2, secured to the driving-shaft a, and with a gear h fast upon a shaft g. The planet-carrier d, which is carried loosely on the shaft a, is secured to a worm-wheel f, which meshes with a pair of transverse worms i. A cone c, secured to the shaft a, is arranged to drive at varying speeds an oblique spindle l carrying a sliding friction roller m. The worms i are driven from gears k, on each side of, and in mesh with, a gear j secured to the spindle l. When the roller m is clear of the cone c, the carrier d is held against rotation-by the worm gearing, and the full drive of the shaft a is imparted to the shaft g, in the opposite direction. This retarding action is assisted by a brake n adapted to engage the roller m. When the roller m is in action, the carrier d is allowed to slip, so that the speed of the shaft g is reduced. The reversing-gear comprises a spur-gear p, Fig. 1, sliding on a feather on the shaft g and adapted, for forward driving, to engage internal teeth q on a member r secured to the driven shaft g<1>. For reversed driving, the gear p is withdrawn from the teeth q and intermeshed with idlers s, which are constantly in mesh with internal gear teeth t also on the member r. The invention is suitable for propelling motor vehicles and boats.
