Title: Improvements in and relating to Hand Stencilling or Duplicating Apparatus.
Inventor: KLABER AUGUSTUS DAVID
Filed: 1903-05-19
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 11,377. Klaber, A. D., and Sternberg, W. May 19. Copying documents. - Relates to hand stencilling-apparatus, and consists of arrangements whereby the apparatus is provided with a casing which may be closed for transportation &c. with the various inked surfaces enclosed therein and out of contact with other parts, and, when opened out, the parts are all ready for use ; and to means for controlling the supply of ink to the ink slab. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement, opened out for use, and Fig. 3 shows it closed. The two halves c, d of the casing are hinged at e, f, respectively, to a base board or plate b. On the ends of the base b are lugs a, and on these are hinged at i, l, respectively, the board h, carrying the usual hinged stencil-frame z, and the ink slab or slate k. On the board h and slab k are lateral pins or projections m, which are supported by the sides of the casing c, d when the apparatus is opened out for use as in Fig. 1, but, when it is closed up, the pins m pass down inclined guideslots n on the inner sides of the casing, so that the board h and slab k are guided into the sides of the casing, as in Fig. 3. When the hinged stencilframe z is raised, after each copy is printed, by the spring 2, the sheet is lifted by suction and falls into the casing d under the slab k and against adjustable stops 3. At one side of the ink slab is fixed a bracket t with lugs v and a recess x for holding the inking-roller w. The ink is supplied from a collapsable or like reservoir through a pipe q and up through a hole r in the slab k. This hole is covered by a brass plate, which acts to prevent passage of ink on to the slab except when the reservoir is squeezed or operated by the operator. In a modified form of apparatus, the casing c is omitted and is replaced by a board, hinged at i, to which the board h is attached. In another modification, the base b and lugs a are dispensed with, and the two parts c, d of the casing are hinged together. The inner ends of the board h and slab k are connected by links to the opposite sides of the casing, so that when the casing is closed they are carried down into it, their outer ends being guided by pins and inclined slots m, n, as in the other arrangement. The inksupply reservoir may consist of a cylinder, Fig. 11, having gelatinous or other soft discs 17, 24 at each end. It is placed between a bracket 18, having a passage 21 leading to the supply tube q, and a bracket 19. A plate 16 operated by a screw 23 in the bracket 19 moves the washer 17 along the cylinder, and forces the ink through the hole in the washer 24 and through the passage 21 &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Motors and Controlling Devices for use in the Electrical Propulsion of Vehicles or Trains of Vehicles.
Inventor: RAWORTH JOHN SMITH
Filed: 1903-10-19
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 22,551. Raworth, J. S. Oct. 19. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles. - In motor-control systems for use on electrically-propelled vehicles or trains of vehicles such as are described in Specifications Nos. 3657 and 5494, A.D. 1903, means are provided for rendering the motor armatures independent of the brake gear, for interconnecting the brake and speed levers so that the driver cannot release the brake except when the field is fuily excited, and for locking the reversing-mechanism until the field current has been cut off. In order to distribute the load more equally between the motors, a few turns of series windings may be added to their field magnets. The first part of the invention is shown in Fig. 1, the number of motors in use being constant. In the lead d of the armatures a is inserted an electromagnetic switch f, which is normally maintained open by a spring g, and is closed when the shunt field windings b are excited by means of a solenoid h in the field circuit e. When the number of motors is liable to alteration, each of them is provided with a switch f. The controller is shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5. The speed lever k, Fig. 3, a pin n<1> on which works in the slotted cam plate l of the brake lever, is connected to the brake mechanism by a rod m. On pulling over the lever k to the right, the field excitation is increased until the pin n<1> moves in the slot extension o, when the brake is applied. The brake is released by turning the plate l so as to place the pin n' into line with the slot r. The direction of the current from the leads s, s<1>, Figs. 4 and 5, through the shunt field windings b is altered by moving a plate z fixed to the reversing-lever about its pivot 1 so that contacts 3 thereon connect up the pairs of contacts t, u<1> and w<1>, y<1>, or t<1>, x<1> and v<1>, v<2>, or, when the plate is situated in the mid position, as shown, all the circuits are broken. The plate z is locked in both the end and mid positions by the engagement of notches 4<a>, 4<b>, 4<c> in a slot 4 with a pin 5 projecting from a lever 6 and forced against the side of the slot by means of a spring 9. A roller 8 on the lever 6 rests upon the speed lever k, so that, in order to unlock the plate z, the speed lever must be moved to its extreme forward position, at the same time cutting off the current. The speed lever, formed with a lateral extension ending in a boss 10<b>, is removably mounted on a shaft 11 passing through a slot 10 on the plate z having an enlarged central portion whereby the removal of the lever from its shaft is rendered impossible, except when the plate z is in its mid position, with the fields b disconnected from the leads.

Title: Improvements in Range or Distance Finders.
Inventor: BRYANT ROBERT
Filed: 1904-02-10
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 3333. Bryant, R. Feb. 10. Range-finders; telemeters.-To determine the distance of an object, the angles at the measured base of a triangle, having the object for its vertex, are measured by means of telescopes, with additional side object glasses, placed at the extremities of the base. Each telescope is supported by collars carried in Y-shaped frames mounted on a stage, which is provided with levelling-screws, a clamp and tangent for fine adjustment, and worm gearing L, M for rotating the telescope in its frame. A side object glass F, preferably at right-angles to the object glass E, is provided with a reflector G adjusted so as to reflect the object to the point of intersection of the line of collimation of the glass E with a diaphragm H. This diaphragm is adjusted by a micrometer screw and carries a pointer for indicating its position on a series of points or a scale attached to the frame. A Ramsden eyepiece K is fitted for viewing the object and the scale. The two telescopes being pointed towards the object and placed so that each side object glass is seen by the other-instrument, the distance between the telescopes is measured and the diaphragms are adjusted until each pointer coincides with the image of the distant object. From the distances between the centres of the diaphragms and the images, as given by the micrometer, the angles at the base of the triangle are determined. According to the Provisional Specification, the side object glass of the second telescope is directed in a line at a known angle with the base line, or towards an object at a known distance from the first telescope. In modifications, prisms may be used instead of reflectors, and the diaphragm may be fixed, the prism or reflector being moved by a micrometer. One telescope only may be used, when a point on the other stand is sighted by the side object glass, after which the telescope is transferred to the second stand.

Title: An Improved Automatic Safety Device for Indicating Danger and for Stopping Engines and Trains on Railways
Inventor: BOTERMANN HEINRICH
Filed: 1904-02-13
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 3686. Botermann, H. Feb. 13. Stopping engines and trains.- Relates to an automatic safety device for stopping engines and trains in case they over run a danger signal, and consists in fixing a breakable body in front of the locomotive, which, when broken by contact with a piece on the permanent way operated from the signal, causes the steam supply to be shut off, an alarm to be sounded, and the brakes to be applied. A horizontal glass or similar tube r fixed in a socket q in front of the engine communicates by a pipe p with an air cylinder n, the pressure in which keeps the piston o raised. When the glass tube is broken, the air pressure is reduced, the brakes are operated through a pipe p<1> which is connected to the pipe p, and the piston o falls. This moves a valve i through a bell crank m, and opens a steam cylinder b to exhaust, thus exhausting a second cylinder d through a pipe c, and allowing the internal steam pressure to move the piston e. The movement of the piston e operates the valve h, shuts off steam, and sounds an alarm whistle f.

Title: An Improved Detergent for Scouring Wool.
Inventor: WOHLE SALO
Filed: 1904-06-03
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 12,632. Wohle, S. June 3. Cleansing-compositions.-A mucilaginous liquid, such as a decoction of linseed, is mixed with a fat or fatty oil, such as castor oil, and with saponin, or a decoction of horse chestnuts, acacias, or areca nuts, which contain saponin. To this mixture is added hydrogen peroxide, or materials producing it, such as sodium peroxide and a vegetable acid, such as acetic acid or acid salt, such as salts of lemon. For fine or mixed wools, a little sodium carbonate may be added to the horse chestnuts. For coarse wools, more saponin is required than can be got from horse chestnuts. By the use of this detergent, the wool grease is removed without saponification, so that it can be recovered, the wool is made softer than by the older methods, and the yolk is left in the wool. The inventions contained in Specification No. 10, A.D. 1864, and No. 1978, A.D. 1896, are disclaimed.
