Title: Improvements relating to Ships' Compasses.
Inventor: ARBECAM HARRY PEYTON
Filed: 1905-05-18
Granted: 1906-05-18
Abstract: 10,467. Lake, H. H., [Arbecam, H. P.]. May 18. Compasses, magnetic.-A ship's compass is provided with means for indicating on the compass dial the bearing of any object or point along the coast to which a sighting-tube 'above the binnacle hood may be directed, the apparatus being arranged so as to indicate the bearing corrected for deviation. For simplifying triangulation, a plate 41, Fig. 8, graduated as shown, may be attached to the compass dial. The sighting-tube 24 is pivoted to the top of a tubular, sectional, vertical shaft adapted to be rotated in a socket 13 of the form shown, secured to the binnacle top by a nut 15. The indicator 32 rests on and extends across the compass dial, the pointer being pivoted to a stem 35 having a pin-and-slot connexion with the lower section 29 of the shift so as to be self-adjusting. This lower section preferably has a ring-like portion 31 through which the lubber mark can be viewed, and is connected to the central portion 16 of the shaft by a screw 30 engaging the groove shown. This central part 16 is held in position in the socket 13 by a collar 17 and a ring 18. The upper part 20 of the shaft is brought into correct position on the central part by means of a notch 21 and a projection 22, and the two parts are clamped together by a screw 23. The rod 25, to which the sighting-tube is pivoted, carries a pointer 39 which is adjusted to. the deviation on a scale on a sector plate 37 having a cylindrical part secured to the shaft 20. This shaft and the rod are clamped together, when relatively adjusted, by a screw 27. The indicator arms 32 are constructed as shown in Figs. 4, 5, and 5<A>, the ends having a sliding connexion with the central part to enable their length to be adjusted. The ends are clamped in adjusted position by screws 42.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for use in Regulating the Load on Direct Current Electrical Generators.
Inventor: MOORE ERNEST SHERWOOD WOOLLARD
Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 10,639. Moore, E. S. W., and Strangr, W. G. May 22. Distributing; regulating.-To maintain the output of direct-current main generators constant, a booster A, in series with a battery B and driven by an electric motor or otherwise, is provided with two field windings C, D. The winding C carries the whole of the main current or a definite portion determined by the shunt E, and is designed so as to compound the booster for the whole current going out of the station. The coil D, of fine wire, is either connected between the positive terminal of the battery B and the negative terminal of a small exciting-dynamo H of relatively low voltage as shown in Fig. 1, or between the negative end of the battery and the positive terminal of the exciter, or the negative terminal of the exciter may be connected directly to the positive pole of the battery and the coil D arranged between the positive terminal of the exciter and the positive bus-bar F. The dynamo H acts with the battery in opposition to the bus-bar pressure upon the coil D, which induces in the armature of the booster A an electromotive force equal to the difference of potential between the positive pole of the battery and the negative terminal of the exciter H. A third coil for compounding the booster for its own current may be added. The voltage of the exciter is varied by means of a resistance M in its field circuit. In modifications, the exciter may be replaced by a small battery, the number of cells in circuit with the field coil D being varied by means of a switch, or, as shown in Fig. 3, the excitation current may he derived from the motor V driving the booster by employing an extra movable brush W upon its commutator.

Abstract: 5458. Goodwin, R. H. D., [Murray, J. K.]. March 6. Safety - suspending apparatus.-Relates to means for automatically catching and suspending lifts, mine cages, &c. in the event of the winding - rope breaking. The rope is connected to a vertical rod h, which slides in a bracket on the cage framing and is connected by links to pivoted levers c, c'. Should the winding- rope break, the spring j depresses the rod h and forces the pivoted levers outwards until their hooked upper ends engage projections such as the rungs b of ladder-like guides in the shaft or well. The upper and lower pairs of levers are arranged so that, when one pair is hooked on the guides, the other pair is half-way between two rungs. The spring may be of any suitable form, but is preferably of the type applied to railway rolling-stock, and is supported by depending brackets o from the cage framing. A modification is indicated in the Provisional Specification in which the hooked levers are omitted, and the links g, g<1> are passed through slots or are guided in brackets on the framing. Should the winding-rope break, the ends of these levers are forced outwards to engage the rungs of the ladder. One pair of pivoted levers may be used instead of the two pairs shown.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 6375. Meyer, J. F. March 16. Coffee.-Coffee is freed from caffeine and traces of furfurol by treatment with an acid or alkaline gas and distillation with a volatile solvent. The beans are treated with dry steam under pressure in a jacketed vessel to loosen their structure, and then with ammonia, or sulphurous or hydrochloric acid &c. A solvent, preferably benzene or a mixture of solvents, such as benzene and alcohol, is then admitted, and the liquid boiled, a reflux condenser being used after ammonia &c. and moisture have been carried off. The treatment may be repeated. The solvent may be completely removed by a current of dry steam under pressure, with further treatment, if necessary, with dry steam at different pressures, or with dry pressure steam and vacuum alternately. During extraction and subsequent treatment with steam, the beans are preferably agitated. If alcohol or chloroform alone is used as a solvent, the extract must be freed from caffeine and added to the coffee.

Abstract: 8804. Myers, R., and Myers, S. April 12. L o o m s, changebox, weft - catching motions for.- Change-box looms are provided with means for preventing the entanglement of the weft threads with one another. A number of needles N, one less than the number of boxes, are mounted to slide vertically on a bar M, which is secured to a plate C carried by a fixed bracket. Each needle is pivotally connected to an arm of one of a series of bell-crank levers F, which are pivoted on a bar E. This bar is slidably mounted on the plate C, and is connected by suitable linkwork to the box-rod, so that it is moved as the boxes rise and fall. Endless threads V are hooked to the breast beam, and pass through eyes in a fixed frame S and over the back-rest. A thread T, which is preferably taken from the edge of the warp. is passed a suitable number of times between the back and breast beams intermediate of the threads V, and successive lengths of this thread pass through the eyes of the needles. When the boxes are lowered, the bar E is moved, and the levers F are tilted by a fixed pin P, so that the corresponding lengths of the thread T are pulled down. The weft threads U are caught between the lowered threads T and the threads V, and entanglement of the wefts is thereby prevented. The levers F may be pivoted on the plate C, in which case the pin P is secured to the slide-bar E. The horizontal arms of the levers F rest on stoppins R.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Packing Rings for Pistons
Inventor: ANDREWS JAMES
Filed: 1907-02-01
Granted: 1908-02-01
Abstract: 2553. Andrews, J., and Gameron, D. Feb. 1. Pistons.-Access of fluid to the back of the packing-ring of a pump or compressor piston is prevented by forming the packing with flanges overlapping the piston or a body ring, or by the use of flexible end rings. Fig. 1 shows a split or segmental outer ring 6 formed with flanges 10 overlapping the piston body. The joints of the ring 6 are covered by tongue pieces 12, and the ring is expanded by wave or radial springs, or by an inner split ring 7. In a modi6cation, the flanges 10 engage a body or backing ring instead of engaging the piston. In a further modification, the ring 6 is divided circumferentially. Each part is split, and is expanded by its own elasticity without internal springs. In the arrangemant shown in Fig. XV, acccess of fluid to tLe back of the split ring 6 is prevented by covering rings 16 acted on by the pressure. Fig. XVI shows the application of the end covering-rings 16 to split rings 6 held in recesses in a solid backing or body ring 15. The rings 16 are held by rings 18 secured by studs. Fluid is admitted to grooves 20 at the back of the rings 16 by perforations 21.
