Inventor: BAERWINKEL MORITZ
Filed: 1900-06-30
Granted: 1900-12-08
Abstract: 11,860. Bõrwinkel, M. June 30. Processes of treating grain.-Relates to a process for treating oil-yielding seeds, oil nuts, oilcake, &c., in which the cellulose is not removed and a product resembling linoleum is obtained.

Abstract: 17,250. Watson, W. T. Sept. 28. Obstruction-removers for electric, cable, and other street cars. Fig. 1 shows a perspective view, Fig. 2 an inverted plan, and Fig. 3 a cross-section of one. A pair of rods C, C, moving in guides B, B attached to the bottom of the car, are connected by rods D, D to arms keyed on a rocking-shaft E, which is mounted in bearings on the bottom of the car. At the sides of the car are brackets L having recesses in which the cross-shaft 0 is retained by latches. On this shaft are secured arms P, bearing on the rods C and brackets Q to which are attached tubes R connected by transverse rods S, S. In these tubes slide rods T, bearing on adjustable springs in the rear ends of the tubes. The rods T are connected to a front bar T', and, as shown in Fig. 4, carry L-shaped brackets T', which are concaved to receive an india-rubber tube V, held in place by a strained wire W. To the front bar T<1> is secured the front bed X consisting of a number of steel slats as shown, or of a network of wire or other sufficiently strong material. The inner ends of the slats are looped round a rod Y, by which the lower bed is hinged to the upper one Z. This upper bed is of similar construction to the lower one, and is stiffened at its upper end by a bar Z<3>, which may be straight, or curved round the dashboard. The upward movement nf the rod Y is limited by chains. Rods piv ted to the brackets Q bear on springs c, c hinged to the dashboard and the rod Z<3>. When the tender is not in use it can be swung up about the shaft 0 as shown in dotted lines, and secured by a chain e. Normally it is raised above the track to clear small obstructions, but in case of need it is lowered by the driver pressing on a pedal I, which raises the bar G, pulling outwards the rods C against a spring F, and swinging the fender downwards about the shaft O. A pawl engaging the bar G prevents the fender from rising until released by the driver's foot. By removing the springs c from the dashboard and the shaft 0 from the brackets L, the fender can be detached from the car.

Abstract: 3516. Farrell, F. J. Feb. 11. Water, softening.-Relates to means for adding the proper quantity of reagent. The water to be treated is measured by the tanks B, B' alternately, and to each tank-full of water is added the reagent contained in a measuring-tank A or A<1>. While one of the tanks A, A<1> is filling from the supply L, the other is emptying t) the pipe M, these operations being controlled by a three-way cock K. The reagent flowing from the pipe M, and also the main body of water, are diverted to the tank B or B<1> by a deflector plate N. A rocker D, operated by floats F in the tanks and moved decisively by a rolling-ball E, actuates the deflector N and the cock K by means of the rod d and fork P, respectively, Fig. 3. Outlet valves H<1> are actuated from the rocker D, either direct, or, as shown, by a parallel beam. According to the Provisional Specification, the tanks are supplied through a three-way cock but have separate outlets. The ball E is contained in the deflector which oscillates about a horizontal position, and siphon discharge may be used for the tanks B, B'.
Patent GB-190207503-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Reefing Gear
Inventor: HOPE LINTON CHORLEY
Filed: 1902-03-27
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 7503. Hope, L. C. March 27. Rigging ; sails ; spars.-Relates to reefing-gear of the roller-boom type, and is more especially applicable to main or other after sails of fore-andaft rigged vessels. The sail d is firmly secured to the gaff and the boom b, for example, by roping it at d<1> and inserting the rope into a groove b<1>. The luff of the sail is also roped, preferably with wire rope d'. The fore end of the boom carries a drum e, round which is coiled a wire rope g. This rope passes through a block h<1> attached to the main halyards h, and its end is fastened to the shoe c<2> of the gaff, or to the top of the sail if the latter is of the leg-of-mutton type. The boom can rotate freely on a spindle f<2> attached to the jawaf, which Work on a band a' attached to the mast. A wire tack f<13> is attached to the neck of the jaws, and is provided with a tackle f<15>. When the sail is hoisted, the main halyards are permanently belayed, and need not be slacked for the operation of reefing. In order to perform this, the tackle f<15> is slacked, thus slacking the tack f<13>. The luff rope d' is then hauled upon, thus causing the gaff to descend, thereby hauling on the rope g, which rotates the boom and rolls the sail up on it. The luff of the sail is guided on to the boom by a pair of rollers i<7>, carried by one of the arms i<6> of a cross, the other arms of which are shown at i<3>. The arm i<6> is resilient, so as to give slightly with the luff rope, and the arms i<3> partly cover in the coils of the rope on the drum, and one of them can be caused to engage with one of a number of notches in the drum, so as to fix the boom. The cross is carried in the neck of the jaws f, and is capable of a slight amount of rotation, so as to give with the sail. Several modifications may be made, some of which relate to devices for hauling in the luff rope d<4>. One of them is an adaptation of the invention to a boom with a goose - neck connection with the mast. This is suitable for large spars. In this case, the tack f<13> and tackle f<15> are dispensed with, and the boom is rotated by worm gearing on the drum e. The cross abovedescribed may also be modified in various respects. Figs. 20 and 21 show the attachments of the main sheet q and the topping-lifts n to the after end of the boom. A loose open ring m, with a guide m<2> for the sail, embraces the boom and is prevented from running forwards by one or more stays m<3> attached by a swivel connection to a cap b<5> in the boom. A split ring o, to which the block p for the main sheet is attached, engages with a flange mx on the ring m, and the topping-lifts are attached to shackles n<1>. The ring o may be taken off the ring m by removing one of these shackles.

Abstract: 17,753. Albrecht, C. A. Aug. 12. Linotype machines.-Relates to the distributing- mechanism of machines having two magazines or sets of matrices, and consists of means for separating the two sets and passing each set to its own distributing-rail and screws. Fig. 1 shows an elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan, of the mechanism, and Fig. 5 shows a matrix. The line of matrices o, after the casting, is delivered into a box a, and the end matrix is lifted by a lifter b moved up and down by a lever C. The lifted matrix p is moved to the left by a pusher k reciprocated by a lever m. The levers m and C are operated by any suitable means. One set of matrices is formed with dovetail recesses r on the left side, as in Fig. 5, and the other set with similar recesses on the opposite side, and each matrix has a plain recess opposite the dovetail recess r. Leading from the box a to the two distributing-rails q<1>, q<2> and their sets of feed-screws f<1>, f <2>, g <1>, are two curved rails d<1>, d<2>, carrying dovetail guide-rails e<1>, which engage the recesses r in the matrices. As the matrices are pushed forward by the pusher k, they are engaged by one or the other of the rails e<1> according to whether the dovetail recess r is on the right or left, and each set is pushed onward to its rail q<1>, q<2>, &c.

Abstract: 22,740. Scott, H. S., Tyzack, H. F., and Summerfield, t. Oct. 18. Steam &c. turbines. - A multiple - expansion reversing steam turbine is shown in Fig. 1. The shaft S carries several sets of vane-wheels B of different diameters, separated by similar vaned discs C fixed inside the casing A. The rings of vanes B<1>, C' are duplicated, the outer set being for forward running and the inner set for backward running. An admission disc with two rings of unaligned ports is fitted with a reversing valve with long slots, so that, by rotating the valve, either the outer or inner set of vanes is supplied with steam. Auxiliary nozzles are formed in the casing for introducing additional live steam when required. The vane-wheels B, Fig. 4, are connected by an overlapping joint B', and spring packing-rings F are placed in recesses in the wheels and secured by projections G on the discs C. The joint may be packed by means of spring rings on the discs C, which may be shaped so as to form nozzles through which steam issues and prevent leakage from the main flow of steam. The vanes B<1>, Fig. 6, may be fitted with projections B<3> adapted to cause compression and subsequent expansion of the steam. The projections may be hollow, and may be used on a non-reversible turbine.
