Abstract: 25,313. Harrington, S. H. Oct. 31. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. -The impact member supported on the track to co-operate with a valve-operating arm on the locomotive consists of a heavy mass 17 suspended on a flexible chain 18 which allows it to swing only in the direction of the travel of the trains. The mass 17 is hung from an arm 2 pivoted to the post 1 and rocked about its pivot by double rope or wire connexions to the hand - lever controlling the signals, so as to present the weight 17 in the line of travel of the arm 33 on the locomotive if the signal is at danger. The height of the weight 17 is adjustable by the turnbuckle 7 carrying the pivot for the arm 2. The chain 18 is attached to an arm 14 on a sleeve 13 surrounding the arm 2. Guide disks and rollers prevent lateral movement of the arm 14, and the chain 18 is made with square links to prevent similar movement of the weight. The chain and weight may be encased with rubber. A tubular bar 33 is clamped at its inner end 32 to a shaft 39 supported in a bearing 29. By turning the bar 33 in its clamp, the height of the outer ends of the bar is adjusted to suit the height of the track member 17. Excessive movement of the shaft 39 is prevented by inclined cams up which members fixed on the shaft move against the action of a spring 37. A resetting-handle 40 is provided in the cab of the engine. In its normal position, the inner end 32 of the arm 33 presses down the lever 43 against a spring, which on movement of the arm 32 lifts the lever 43. A valve-actuating lever 50 is engaged by a gap in the lever 43, which thus opens the valve to connect the brake pipe to a whistle 59 or other alarm or to adjustable outlets 60 through a filter. The valve stem 52 is lifted by a roller 51 on the lever 50 to minimize wear. The valveoperating parts are enclosed in a casing, the upper part 64 of which rotates with the arms 33.

Abstract: 10,449. Carnot, L. H. S. April 29. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines armed by the tension of the cable connecting the mine to the anchor. According to the invention, the firing-device and the cable drum 11 are arranged on a plate 7 mounted on springs 9 which are compressed by the tension in the cable 12, so that the firing-hammers 24 are lowered to an operative distance from the percussion caps 4, and the frames 39 release the projections 38 of the antennµ 34. On impact with a ship, an antenna is deflected, pulls on a cable 31, and removes a pawl 29 from a notch in a disk 28, and the corresponding hammer 24 is urged by a spring 26 against its percussion cap 4. To allow the mine to rise to the surface for inspection, and to disarm it for safety during this operation, a toothed wheel 14 on the drum 11 is locked by a pawl 15 attached to a rope which passes through the cover 2 and is secured to a small float; and rack slides 21 are geared to wheels 20 on the shaft 18 of the drum. If the small float is picked up and a pull exerted on its rope; the pawl 15 is disengaged, the mine rises, and the anchor cable 12 unwinds from and rotates the drum 11, and brings the slides 21 over holes 10, thus preventing the hammers from reaching the percussion caps 4. The antennµ are enclosed in sheaths 37 of thin flexible metal. The anchor cable passes down a tube 16 and through a box at the bottom of the casing, both filled with grease.
