Title: Improvements in Water Current Motors and Windmills.
Inventor: JASPER CHARLES
Filed: 1900-12-18
Granted: 1901-02-23
Abstract: 23,113. Jasper, C. Dec. 18. Water current motors; tidal energy, utilizing.-In submerged water-current or tidalcurrent motors or wind motors, double-ended blades or vanes 6, with their ends at right-angles to each other, are mounted in bearings 5 on the shaft 1, so that, as one end turns its edge to the current, the other turns flatwise, being thus self-feathering. The blades are hinged together in pairs with stops 11 on the hinges and shoulders or stops 8 at their bearings in the shaft, to limit their turning or opening movement. The spindle of the blades at 5 is secured in the shaft by a cap 3, or is otherwise mounted thereon. The edges of the blades which meet the current may be sharpened. The motor is sharpened with four radial arms, but may be made with six if the ends near the shaft are cut away so that they can pass each other as they turn. Power is taken from the shaft by bevel gear or pulleys. Wind-driven wheels are mounted on turn-tables, and water-driven wheels may be mounted in flumes shaped on one side so that the closed vanes can just pass.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Music Turners, and the like.
Inventor: TALBOT JOHN
Filed: 1901-03-11
Granted: 1902-03-11
Abstract: 5159. Talbot, J. March 11. Leaf-turners; leaf-holders.-An arm A jointed at A<1> is carried by a shaft B working in bearings secured to the music desk &c. The shaft is rotated by bevel-wheels B<2>, C<3> and a handle D acted on by a plate spring C<5>. By rotating the shaft against the action of the spring C<5>, the arm A is brought over to the right and a sucker E is pressed against a leaf, thus ejecting air and forming a partial vacuum. On releasing the handle D, the spring C<5> carries the arm A, the sucker E, and a music leaf over to the left. Air gradually enters a valve E<1> and destroys the vacuum, so allowing the sucker to be detached from the leaf. A cord B<3> causes the arm to rise to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 when it is turned to the right and to fall to the position shown in full lines when it is turned to the left. Two arms A, to turn the leaves in both directions, may be fitted. The shafts B may be rotated by spur-wheels G<1> and push-racks G, as shown in Fig. 6. The shaft B may be inclined to the vertical, thus enabling the cord B to be dispensed with. A finger or holder F, to press on the central part of the music, is carried on the shaft F<2>, and is rotated by the bevel-wheels F<1>, B<7> when the shaft B turns ; it moves to the position shown in dotted lines when the arm A swings over to the right.

Patent GB-190202725-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machine Tools
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVID
Filed: 1902-02-03
Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 2725. Roberts, D. Feb. 3. Milling; tables, machine-tool.-The table of a machine tool is provided with a revoluble upper plate or cylinder on which the work is secured, the plate being automatically unlocked, rotated, and locked after each return stroke of the table, or of the tool if the table is stationary and the tool is traversed, to present a fresh surface of the work or a separate article to the operation of the tool. The invention is described with reference to a milling - machine in which the cutter b is rotated by gearing c and the table f traversed by a screw g. The screw is driven at a quick-return speed by wheels k', k<1>, k and at a slower feeding-speed by worm gearing i<4>, i<1> from a shaft h geared to the pulley shaft d. The wheels k', i<4> are loose on the screw and are alternately coupled to it by a clutch operated by a tappet rod m and pin n on the table. As the table approaches the end of its return stroke, a lever p<1> pivoted on it at p rides over an inclined stop q on the bed, the lever p<1> and an arm r connected to it being raised, and thus disengaging the long end r<1> of a bell crank pivoted on the arm r from a pin r<2> on a worm-wheel r<3>. This disengagement allows the toothed end of a sleeve s<3>, with which the short arm of the bell crank engages, to be pressed by a spring s<1> into engagement with a clutch member s<2> o the e shaft h. The other end of the sleeve has a worm s<4> engaging the worm - wheel r<3>, the spindle r<4> of which has at its upper end a disc t with a pin t'. The engagement of the clutch s<2>, s<3> rotates the disc, causing the pin t<1> to operate a lever u to disengage a locking- bolt v from the work plate e and afterwards, to enter a notch in a disc x on the pivot of the plate, to rotate the plate the desired fraction of a revolution. The period of engagement of the worm gearing s<4>, r<3> is determined by the length of the stop q, which may be varied to cause the plate to be rotated by one or more notches. The plate is provided with clamping-devices (not shown) to secure the work.

Title: Improvements relating to Telephone Systems.
Inventor: BURKE CHARLES GOODWIN
Filed: 1902-06-03
Granted: 1903-01-22
Abstract: 12,671. Burke, C. G. June 3. Telephone systems.- Relates to a telephone system in which the linewire is preferably an open unearthed circuit. In the simplest form, the line ends in the insulated secondaries of two induction coils, the primaries of which are in local circuits with the telephonic instruments and batteries. In Fig. 4, this system is modified by inserting second induction coils 7 in series, the primary of the second one being attached to the secondary of the first 2, and forming a closed loop for a second receiver 10. Polarization cells, condensers, or their equivalent may be connected to the secondary of the first induction coils, and the receivers in the local circuits may be omitted. In a modified form, with or without a metal loop circuit at each station, one receiver may be arranged in line, the secondaries of a number of induction coils also being in series with the line. In this case a second receiver is in series with the primaries of the induction coils. In a further arrangement, the transmitter and battery are in a local circuit with the primary of an induction coil, the secondary and a second primary of which are in series with the first primary and with the secondaries of two other coils in line. The primaries of these coils, whether double or single, form local circuits for the receivers. A metallic return may be employed in this case. An open-circuit battery may be arranged between the transmitter and a coil on the outside of one receiver.

Title: Improvements in Alarm Valves for use in connection with Automatic Liquid Supply Apparatus.
Inventor: EVANS POWELL
Filed: 1902-09-09
Granted: 1902-11-27
Abstract: 19,757. Evans, P. Sept. 9. Water supply.-Relates to an apparatus for sounding an alarm when liquid begins to flow in pipes. When the hinged valve b is lifted by the liquid in the pipe A, liquid enters the branch pipe a and, after it has filled the compartment D<1>, rises through the passage H and closes the valves f, f<2>. The liquid then fills the compartment D, part flowing through a pipe d<6> to actuate a water-motor alarm. The pressure in the compartment D presses up the flexible diaphragm J and closes an electric switch, whereby an electric alarm is sounded. When the valve is opened for a short time only, as by a water hammer, the valve f is not closed and the liquid escapes by a waste pipe d<3> without sounding the alarms. A spring valve regulates the rate of flow through H.
