Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Wagons.
Inventor: JEPSON JAMES THOMAS
Filed: 1902-10-23
Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 23,162. Jepson, J. T. Oct. 23. Wagons ; doors, wagon.-Relates to hopper bottom bogie and other railway wagons of the type described i n Specification No. 2088, A.D. 1902. In the form which is shown in partial side elevation and central transverse section in Figs. 1 and 6 respectively, and which is adapted for discharging its contents partly between the rails and partly outside, the end-walls 2 have doors 4, towards which the floor r 5 inclines from a transverse ridge 6 over each bogie. The central longitudinal ridge 7 is provided with two pairs of hinged doors, of which the lower or opening ends 11 are connected by toggles 10 to pins 12 adapted to move between guides 14 in plates 15, which form transverse stiffeners to the ridge 7. The pins are connected by links 17 to arms 19 fixed to a longitudinal shaft 20, on which is mounted a worm-wheel 21 in gear with a worm 23 on a transverse shaft 22 protected by ridges 26. The shaft 22 can be rotated from either side of the wagon, within limits defined by stops on the shaft and underframe, by means of hand-wheels 24 or their equivalents, and the parts are so arranged that, when the doors are closed, the links 17 and arms 19 lie in the same plane as the longitudinal shaft 20, whereby the doors cannot be opened by pressure or shocks. The side girders 36 of the underframe carry inclined floor-plates 37, and the flooring is strength. ened and supported by angle-bars 37<a>, longitudinal bars 38, and transverse plates 31 connected by bars 31<a>. In the modification which is shown in Figs. 9 and 11, and which is adapted for discharging its contents completely outside the rails, the inverted channel-iron 28 forming the ridge 7 is strengthened by an I-sectioned girder 29 and a superposed rail 30, and the pins 12 move between guides 14<x>. The longitudinal girder 32 extends under the transverse plates 31, and is attached by brackets 33 to cross-bars 34 near the bogie centres. The worm gearing 21, 23 can be replaced by a screw on the transverse shaft 22, rotation of which moves axially a nut connected by bars to the longitudinal shaft 20. In the form shown in Fig. 16, the longitudinal shaft 20 carries an arm 42, which is connected by links 41 to the piston-rod 43 of a pneumatic or other power cylinder 45 provided with a valve which can be operated by means of a transverse rod.

Patent GB-190305297-A (GB)
Title: Improved Construction of Coin Freed Apparatus for Allowing Inspection of a Directory or other Book
Inventor: ARGLES AUGUSTUS CHARLES
Filed: 1903-03-06
Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 5297. Argles, A. C. March 6. Books, giving access to, for reference.-The book B, such as a directory, is confined between flaps D, the hinges E of which have short levers F connected by links G to a central lever H. A pawl K normally locks this lever, but is disengaged by the coin action, so that the book can be opened though springs M tend to close it. Coin action; coin-discharging mechanism.- The coin disengages the pawl by loading the long arm, which extends from it into the shoot P, and, as the book is opened, the lever H tilts the pawl further so as to release the coin. The pawl is thus pressed against a spring L, which makes it re-engage when the book is closed.
Patent GB-190307305-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Tools for Caulking, Rivetting, Dressing and like Operations.
Inventor: PRIMROSE WILLIAM GIBSON
Filed: 1903-03-30
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 7305. Primrose, W. G. March 30. Percussive hand tools; chisels.-In a pneumatic percussive tool for caulking, clipping, dressing, fettling, riveting, &c., the piston and cylinder 2, 1 are of two diameters. Air passes along the passages 5, 6, and always acts on the annular area of the piston, thus forcing it backwards until the annular space in the cylinder communicates with the back end of the cylinder by means of slots 10, which allow air to pass behind the piston and force it forwards. During the forward stroke, the piston closes the communication between the annular space and the rear of the cylinder and uncovers the exhaust ports 8. If the tool 12 is not in position, the piston, in its forward stroke, closes the ports 7, and cushions the air in the annular space, thus preventing damage to the front end of the cylinder.

Title: An Improvements in Mechanism for Moving the Lay in a Power Loom.
Inventor: SCHWABE GEORG
Filed: 1903-05-21
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 11,628. Schwabe, G. May 21. Loom beat-up motions; warp tension, regulating.-Consists in balancing the weight of the Jay by a spiral spring. The crank shaft d, driven by bevel gearing from the driving-shaft a, oscillates the lay through links f and arms h. The lay i is supported on legs l, pivoted at k, and with extensions, to which are attached spiral springs n. During the downward motion of the lay, these springs n are extended, and are so adjusted that the action of the belt is always to pull down the lay, which is returned to beat up by the action of the springs. The pulling-off beam s is journalled in the cranked lever r pivoted at q and resting on rollers p carried by the arms h. The springs prevent the weight of the lay i and the load on the lever r, caused by the tension on the warp, from exerting pressure on the crank shaft d.

The chamber 5 extends rearwards in tubular shape to form a receptacle 7, provided with a conveyer screw 9 and a hopper 8, by means of which the fuel is fed forward through the chamber 5, up the plate 6, to the firebox. The chamber 5 communicates with an upper chamber 19 by means of apertures 20, whence the gas and smoke are driven by a fan through suitable pipes to distributers 17. The distributers 17 are attached to the walls 3 and communicate with the firebox by means of apertures 18.

Title: Automatic Stream Diverting Mechanism.
Inventor: HODGSON JOHN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1904-01-18
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 1215. Hodgson, J. L., and Walker, G. D. Jan. 18. Sewage, treating; precipitating. - Consists in apparatus for protecting septic, precipitation, and other tanks, employed in schemes of sewage disposal, from dilution and disturbance from storm water and the like. A valve, operated by the sewage, closes and diverts the whole of the sewage away from the septic tank into a storm filter when the rate of flow exceeds a certain amount, and opens again when the rate of flow falls. Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the apparatus. The pivoted valve V is opened and closed suddenly by the action of the float F when the sewage rises in the chamber C. When the valve is closed, the passage to the septic tank is blocked, and the sewage flows over the weir W to the storm filter. The height of the sewage in the chamber C at the normal flow is regulated by means of a plate P which slides over and so regulates the size of the orifice of the passage O. The valve V, pivoted on a bearing above the orifice, is counterbalanced by weights, so that the opening and closing caused by the float F, the beam of which is pivoted in a wall bracket, as shown, shall be sudden.

Title: Means for Effecting the Withdrawal and Distribution of Matte and Slag from a Smelting Furnace
Inventor: HARRIS HENRY
Filed: 1905-01-03
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 134. Harris, H. Jan. 3. Metallurgical furnaces; discharging. - Relates to means whereby two molten materials, such as matte and slag, which have separated in a smelting- furnace into two well-defined strata, may be withdrawn and separately distributed in a continuous flow, without disturbing the separation of the materials within the furnace. The slag S, Fig. 1, and matte M within the furnace, flow through the outlet 5 of the furnace into the distributing- box shown. The box is divided into two divisions 19, 20 by a partition 12, at the bottom of which is an aperture 13. The matte and slag flow into the division 19 until the head of matte and slag balances the head of matte and slag, together with the blast pressure, in the furnace. The partition 12 prevents anything but matte from passing into the division 20, in which the matte rises until its head balances the head in the division 19 and in the furnace. Overflow outlets 14, 15 of variable height are provided with sponts 17, as shown in Fig. 2, and allow the slag and matte to discharge separately. A preferable form of the distributing-box is shown in Fig. 3. The division 20 is bolted to the side of the division 19, and the partition 12 is formed as a water jacket lined on each side with fire-brick. The outlets 14, 15 are more conveniently situated for the operator. Emergency tapping-outlets 21, 22 are situated at the bottom of each division to allow for the withdrawal of the entire contents.
