Inventor: HOWORTH FRANKLIN WISE
Filed: 1905-05-10
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 9884. Howorth, F. W., [Deutsche Telephonwerke R. Stock & Co.]. May 10. Switchboards or distributers for telephone exchanges are constructed with the clamping-strips arranged in pairs close alongside each other but with their faces turned away from one another, space being left between the several pairs so as to give access to the frame. The main telephone cables 3, Figs. 1 and 2, are connected to half the clamps on the fixed or movable vertical strips 2, and the leads 5 from the multiplex apparatus are joined on the other side of the frame to the horizontal clamping-strips 4, the remaining clamps on the vertical and horizontal strips being connected by conductor tapes 6. As indicated in the enlarged plan, Fig. 6, the vertical strips are made with a foundation 7, preferably of oak, whereon two strips 8, 9 of ebonite are fixed. The wire clamps 10, for joining to the connecting-laces, are straight and are attached to the insulating-strips by a collar 12 and a nut 13, and the wire clamps 11, for joining to the cables and multiplex apparatus, are bent at right-angles through corresponding holes in the plate 9 so as to prevent rotation, the ends projecting at the back being alternately straight and bent down. All the clamps end in pins 10<1>, 11<1> to which fine fuses 14, or measuring-instruments, may be attached, and an iron carrier 15. supports the clamping-strips with their faces arranged away from each other in the frame.

Title: Improvements in Electric Insulators.
Inventor: FOREMAN ERNEST JAY
Filed: 1906-03-15
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 6 3 1 7. Foreman, E. J. March 16, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Insulators for telegrapb, telephone, and like wires are constructed in two portions 10, 19, such that the former covers the latter so as to produce an almost cylindrical insulator. The two parts are provided with channels which register so as to produce a passage 16 for the conductor, and are made with an external screw-thread 11 so that the device may be screwed into the internally-threaded arm on the post. The upper section 10 is provided with projecting hoods 12, 13, and with stops 25 to prevent the lower part from shifting longitudinally, and both parts are made with registering internal and external drain channels 14, 15, 21. To prevent the conductor from shifting through the insulator, a pair of sleeves 26, Fig. 7, is bound on to the wire at each end of the insulator, as shown in Fig. 6. For use at corners, the hood 32 is enlarged as shown in Fig. 9, and is cut away at the sides so that the wire can be turned sharp round after leaving the insulator.
Patent GB-190612071-A (GB)
Inventor: LENTZ HUGO
Filed: 1906-05-23
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 1 2 , 0 7 1 . Lentz, H., and Bellens, C. Sept. 18, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cylinders ;valve chests etc.; valves, distributing.- The cylinders are cast in pairs and drive opposite - cranks and the valve-chest, valves, and passages are so arranged that a single valve control the admission to or the exhaust from the opposite ends of the two cylinders. Sets of cylinders may be arranged tandem or side by side or to work compound. In locomotives, the valves are situated at one end of the cylinder to facilitate inspection &c. and pairs of cylinders work on an axle with cranks arranged as shown in Fig. 9 for balancing. The invention is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. The inlet valve f admits steam from the pipe c to the top port m of the cylinder b and the bottom one n of the cylinder a while the valve d allows the exhaust to escape from the ports o, p of the cylinders a, b respectively into the exhaust pipe h; the admission valve g and exhaust valve e act similarly in turn. Beat, oscillating, or slide valves may be employed. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 states that the invention is applicable also to air-compressors and fluid-pressure engines in general. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted

Title: An Automatic Dust Hopper for Application to Motor Cars and the like
Inventor: BEGG ANDREW BUCKLEY
Filed: 1906-08-07
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 17,713. Begg, A. B. Aug. 7. Motor road vehicles. - The dust raised by motorcars &c. is collected by a hopper-shaped scoop placed across the rear of the vehicle, which communicates with a fan chamber partly filled with water or other suitable liquid. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the scoop b delivers the dustladen air to the fan d driven from the road-wheel axle, and the fan forces the mixture through the water e, which retains the dust and allows the purified air to escape through perforations f. In this case, the fan chamber is mounted on wheels k like a trailer, and is secured to the chassis of the vehicle by a flexible connexion l. In other cases, the fan chamber may be mounted on an extension of the vehicle frame, or the fan may be driven from the trailer wheels.

Patent GB-190619384-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Rock Drills.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1906-08-30
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 19,384. Rayner, G. H., and Walton, C. Aug. 30. Rock drills.-In order that a single-headed piston may be used instead of a double-headed piston in a percussive rock drill of the type described in Specification No. 1340, A.D. 1904, the end pistons of the valve d, which is semi-cylindrical in form, are formed with ports h and auxiliary passages i, and the extra passages k, l are formed with auxiliary ports m, n communicating with ports o, p. In the position shown in Fig. 1, air or steam passes into the port a, recess b, and port o, and drives out the piston and at the same time passes through ports h, i to hold the valve in its forward position. Exhaust from the front end of the cylinder takes place through a port s, and also ports p, s, and from the front end of the valvechest through ports h, i, l, s, and also n, p, q, s. In the position shown, the pressure in the passage k is kept equal to that in the port a by the ports m, while when the passage l is closed by the piston it is connected to exhaust by the ports n. The valve remains locked until the exhaust port s is uncovered by the piston, when the rear ends of the valve are connected to exhaust through ports k, s, and also o, s, and the valve is returned, since exhaust through the port n is less than that through the ports h, k on account of its smaller area. The valve is thus prevented from becoming balanced when both main valve exhausts are closed, by the continuous exhaust action. The same action occurs on the return stroke. For different degrees of hardness of the rock, the point of cut-off may be varied in either stroke, by the extension or contraction of the port s, or by placing the port at either side of the centre of the cylinder. The ends f, of the valve-chest are held in place by tapered recesses without the use of screws, except those for fixing the chest to the cylinder.

Abstract: 15,095. Hunt, E. W., and Moscrop, W., [trading as Hunt & Moscrop]. July 1. Bleaching; dyeing; washing.-Open fabrics are bleached, dyed, scoured, soured, or otherwise treated in a machine having two batch-rollers carrying the fabric in frictional contact with two drums, mounted very near each other to prevent creasing or curling of the selvedges, and driven alternately to draw off the fabric from one batch roller, partly over each drum, on to the other batch roller. The whole is carried on a suitable wagon a which can be run into a closed kier b or other vessel, such as an open cistern. There may be one or more rollers i, intermediate of the drums g over and under which the fabric F passes on the way from one batch roller f to the other, and also means for sounding an alarm when the reversal should be made for reversing automatically. The journals e of the batch rollers f are guided by inclined surfaces d or vertical slots. The journals a<1> of the drums g carry at one end clutch halves which engage with clutch halves on shafts mounted in the kier and each carrying a spur-wheel o, gearing with a driving spur-wheel n and furnished with a slidable clutch so that each wheel o may alternatively be driven and run free. When this change is to be made manually, each batch roller carries at one end a friction disk which, when the roller is nearly empty, comes in contact with a disk g' and by rotating it causes a gong to sound.
