Title: Improvements in or relating to Points and Switches for Railway Tracks.
Inventor: ROACH HARRY FAY
Filed: 1908-06-17
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 10,944. Roach, H. F. June 17. Crossings; points.-Relates to railway-track crossings in which a movable-frog point is used at the intersection of the inner rails. The bed-plate 11, Fig. 1, has a hollow block 13, preferably formed integrally with it, to which the tongue is pivoted. The end of the tongue may engage the ends of the rails 2, 3 or special tread sections 2<a>, 3<a>, Fig. 10, secured to the bed-plate. At the end of the block. 13 the base-plate is offset to form a vertical shoulder against which the ends of the rails abut, and wings or lugs are formed on the block for securing the rail ends. In a modified construction, the rail ends are secured by upwardly projecting lugs formed on the base-plate which pass through slots in the rail flanges and are bolted together through the rail webs. Figs. 5 and 6 show another construction of bed-plate having a longitudinal strengthening rib 21 and transverse ribs 22 which carry the tongue. An upwardly projecting semicircular flange 24 fits into a similarly shaped recess in the tongue and forms the pivot. The adjacent rail ends have their inner base flange removed, and are secured to and supported by the webs 27 strengthened by the lateral webs 28. The tongue in both constructions is formed with one or two chambers 7, Figs, 1 and 2, open at the bottom to receive a stop 8 on the baseplate, which, with the enclosed air, acts as a cushion and prevents shock when the tongue is operated. When in either set position, one of the projecting parts 9 engages one of the parts 10 and so prevents the tongue from tilting.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Cleaning by Fluid Pressure.
Inventor: SPENCER IRA HOBART
Filed: 1908-05-29
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 11,701. Spencer, I. H. May 29. Fans.-Air laden with dust is drawn through the tool 61 and tube 62 by a multi-stage fan mounted on a shaft 53 and driven by a motor 48. The blower comprises sets of blades 54, each in a compartment formed by partitions 55. The only bearing 51 for the motor and fan shaft may be made self - lubricating by the employment of a graphite composition 52. The dusty air flows into the chamber 35 tangentially, dust being deposited in the drawers 41. Lighter particles pass through the fan chamber 30 and fall into the separating- chamber 64 and the inner part of the pan 25. The final separation of dust occurs while passing through a cup 31, pipes 32, and a filter 66 in an annular chamber 65. A guard 70 prevents large pieces of rag &c. from entering the fan chamber.

Title: Improvements in Elastic Tyres for the Wheels of Vehicles.
Inventor: BLAISDELL FREDERICK ELIJAH
Filed: 1908-09-07
Granted: 1909-12-07
Abstract: 18,763. Blaisdell, F. E. Sept. 7. Wire and other cores, covering by winding.- In the manufacture of tyres, a length or ring of rubber g, Fig. 1, in an unstrained condition is placed between three rollers a, b, c, one of which is positively rotated, while the position of the others is adjustable to accommodate the increasing diameter of the tyre during building. The roller c is variably weighted by a roller f. The surfaces of the three rollers are maintained parallel throughout ; the rollers are shown in three positions corresponding to different stages of formation of the tyre. A tensioned ribbon of rubber h is wound helically on the rubber g, one or both surfaces of the ribbon being coated with adhesive material. The ribbon is first wound right-handedly and then left-handedly, the effect of winding under tension being to strain the rubber core g in the direction of its length. The outside layer may be of compound ribbon formed by stretching a ribbon of rubber and attaching thereto a ribbon of unstretched rubber. This compound ribbon is then wound on the tyre body under a reduced tension so that the rubber at the surface is in compression. After assembling as described above, the whole body may be subjected to a vulcanizing heat.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Vehicle Wheels of the Disc Type.
Inventor: KNIGHT JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-10-24
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 22,579. Knight, J. Oct. 24. Disk wheels; tyres, pneumatic.- In a wheel of the type comprising two coned disks, b e - tween the outer peripheries of which a tyre of U -section is held, the plane centre 3 of the inner disk 1 is secured by bolts 9 to a flange 4 on the hub 5 and to the inner flange of a metal channel ring 7. The outer disk 2 is held against the outer flange of the ring 7 by a washer 11 and the nut 12 on the end 5<a> of the hub. The threads on the nut and hub are preferably interrupted. In a modification, the ring 7 is of solid wood and the bolts 9 pass right through it. In the case of a chain-driven wheel, the sprocket wheel has an internal flange surrounding the flange 4, which is not so deep as that shown, and the outer bolts 9 pass through this flange. The edges 18 of the tyre are gripped between the disks and a metal channel ring 19. The securing-bolts 21 may be provided with collars 22 bearing against the inner disk so that the outer disk may be removed without displacing the bolts, or the collars may bear against the outer edge of the tyre. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the channel ring 19 is replaced by a laminated wood ring. The edges of the tyre may be provided with beads to engage circumferential grooves in the disks, or the rings 19 may be ribbed to bed in the tyre edges to secure a tight joint, so that the tyre may be used without an air-tube. The tyre may be provided with overlapping lips 24. A tube 23 leading from the tyre to the side of the outer disk is provided for inflating the tyre.

Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 3469. Smith, T. G. Feb. 12. Incandescent igniters; tubes.-A tube igniter is made of considerable thickness and is mounted in a chamber in free communication with the'combustion chamber in such a manner that both inner and outer surfaces are exposed to the heat of the explosion, and in such a position that the tube is not cooled by the incoming charge. In this manner the tube will remain hot enough to ignite after several idle strokes. Fig. 1 shows a tube E mounted in a chamber D communicating with the combustion chamber A. An ordinary tube F, which may be heated by a lamp, is employed for starting. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the chamber D, and, with it, the outer surface of the tube E, may be shut off from the combustion chamber. For full loads, the tube E is screwed forward until it seats against the restricted opening of the chamber D. For light loads it is withdrawn to the position shown.

Non-metallic elastic bodies and cores. - The space formed by the felloe, side plates, and an outer rubber tyre or a rigid road or rail rim, is filled with an elastic composition of the kind which is poured in when liquid and sets after standing or heating. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the outer metal rim A, carrying a rubber tyre is formed with projections B, which engage apertures in side plates C. The plates are stayed by bolts E, which are slightly spaced from loose sleeves passing through the elastic composition G. The bolt is prevented from turning by a squared portion S. A flange C<1> on the plate protects the nuts E'. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the plates sliding on the felloe are curved to grip the strengthened edges of a solid rubber tyre resting directly on the composition. Creeping of the composition is prevented by projections formed on or secured to the felloe, rim, or tyre.
