Patent GB-189813639-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Railway Signalling and Communicating Apparatus.
Inventor: BAQUE ALEJANDRO BASANTA Y
Filed: 1898-06-18
Granted: 1898-07-30
Abstract: 13,639. Baque, A. B. y. June 18. Signalling and communicating between trains.- A conductor O extends by the line, and a wheel F or the like on the engine makes contact with it. The conductor is interrupted at the stations, so that a circuit is only completed between two trains on the same section. Additional conductors O<1> are, however, provided extending past the stations, so that a train approaching a station is put into communication with one leaving it. A dynamo A on the engine is constantly driven when the train is in motion, and when the circuit is completed a current flows through the electromagnet which attracts its armature and completes a circuit through the battery P and bell B. The driver can then take down a telephone from the end of the lever L, which automatically breaks the circuit through the dynamo and completes a telephone circuit. Signalling to stations.-To communicate with a station, the driver throws over the commutator C, and operates a magneto - electric apparatus D producing a high - tension current, which can operate signalling-apparatus T<3> at the station through the resistances R. A stationmaster can at any time communicate with a driver by cutting out the resistances R, so that the circuit of the dynamo A is completed. Crossing-gate signals.-On each side of a level crossing an additional conductor is fixed, through which a circuit is completed enabling the current from the dynamo A to sound a bell or the like at the crossing. Indicating condition of permanent way.-If a landslip or other accident completes a circuit between the conductor 0 and the rails, which form the return conductor, the signal bell on the engine is sounded. Signalling and communicating on trains.-When a button is pressed in one of the carriages, a lever is released and completes a circuit through the conductor O, each carriage having a wheel F in contact with this conductor. The lever which completes the circuit at the same time releases spring-driven clockwork mechanism, which sounds a bell in the compartment in which the press-button has been actuated.

Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Apparatus for the Delivery of Gases or Liquids.
Inventor: SHAFFER PAUL C
Filed: 1898-12-15
Granted: 1899-06-02
Abstract: 26,541. Lake, H. H., [Shaffer, P. C.]. Dec. 15. Gas meters; liquid meters.-The stem 19 of a cock in the C bend of the supply pipe 32 bears a toothed sector A having a radial arm 17 on which lies a sliding spring latch 16 engaging a fixed toothed segment B. The sector is turned to the extent of one tooth for each coin inserted, and the latch takes over the corresponding tooth of the segment. For the position shown, the valve is nearly closed ; when the latch is on any of the remaining teeth to the left, the valve is fully open. The meter drives an exchangeable crownwheel, and a pin 15 on the back of this wheel drives a cam 18 loose upon the valve stem. The greater horn 35 of the cam disengages the latch every revolution, and a spring 31 bearing on the radial arm 17 turns the sector back a tooth. The smaller horn of the cam will only disengage the latch from the extreme right-hand tooth 33 of the segment, so letting the gas be cut off entirely shortly after reduction. Coin action.-The coin, having passed down a shoot 2 into a pocket 3 in a plug 4 which can be turned by a handle, protrudes sufficiently to engage a tooth of the sector as the plug is turned. Fraud, preventing.-A flap 5 at the bottom of the coin shoot, and a casing 6 around the rotary plug with the aperature shown in Fig. 6 prevent any return of the coin. Rotation of the plug is kept up by the meter in the same direction in which it can be turned by hand. Hence any restraint of the plug stops the meter.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Gas Lighters.
Inventor: ARCHER DAVID JOHN
Filed: 1899-06-30
Granted: 1899-09-09
Abstract: 13,613. Archer, D. J. June 30. Lighting gas.-A fine platinum, steel, or other wire I, twisted so far as to form a loop J and spread out or frayed at its ends i, is mounted in a carbon, soapstone, or other tube H, which is carried by an adjustable plug G in a tubular attachment F on the burner B. The gas ascending the burner tube B rotates a paddle O, which drives a second paddle P, the blades of which are in frictional contact with the frayed ends i of the wire. The heat thus generated traverses the wire I to the loop J, which becomes incandescent and ignites the gas. It is essential that the wire I should be formed into an unbroken loop J which, together with the upper end of the carrier H, must extend into the path of the gas escaping from the burner. The paddles 0, P may be dispensed with, and the rapidity of action of the apparatus is increased by dusting a mixture of silicate of soda, platinum black, and fuller's earth into the hole in the carrier H. The speed of the paddles 0, P is controlled by means of the screw R, and the burner B is provided internally with a nipple E and a perforated disc S.
