Title: Improvements in Steering Machinery
Inventor: BROWN ANDREW BETTS
Filed: 1901-05-31
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 11,183. Brown, A. B. May 31. Steering - gear.- The invention relates partly to improvements in steam and hand steering machinery, and partly to means for enabling the mechanism used in connection with the hand steering- wheels to act as a buffer or regulator when steering by steam, thereby overcoming or greatly diminishing the objectionable vibration usual with steam steering-gear. The steam or other motor, provided with a controlling-valve 4, is arranged within a casing 5 fixed on the tiller-arm 2 of the rudderhead 1, instead of having to slide thereon, as described in Specification No. 13,174, A.D. 1893, thus dispensing with sliding boxes for the steam inlet and exhaust pipes. A travelling carriage 6, carried by the outer end of the tiller arm 2, gears through a pinion 7 with a rack 8 fixed on the deck, as described in Specification No. 12,211, A.D. 1900; but the pinion shaft is now connected by a bevel-wheel 10 and pinion 11 with a shaft 12 carried radially on the tiller arm 2 by a block 15 and bearings 13, 14 thereon, the block 15 swivelling on the upper surface of the carriage 6, which slides on the slotted end of the tiller-arm 2. When the shaft 12 is rotated by the motor on the arm 2, the bevel gearing 10, 11 causes the pinion 7 and the carriage 6 to move along the rack 8 and carry the tiller-arm 2 over to one side or the other to actuate the rudder. The controlling-valve 4 can be actuated in any suitable manner, but, when the tiller-arm and rudder have been moved in the manner described, the tillerarm carries the engine with it, and the valve 4 is returned to its middle or neutral position. A friction clutch 19, adapted to slip under abnormal strain, is applied to the end of the shaft 12 to permit of the steam steering-gear being disengaged when desired. The arrangement in connection with the hand-gear tiller-arm 3 on the rudderhead 1 comprises a three-cylinder pump and a circular distributing-valve actuated by eccentrics on the shaft of the hand steering-wheel, a pipe 22 leading from the interior of this circular valve to a hydraulic cylinder 20, and a pipe 23 leading from the space outside the valve to a hydraulic cylinder 21. Thus water is pumped in one direction or the other, according as the hand steering-wheel is turned, to the cylinder 20 or 21, and the corresponding ram 43 or 44 actuates the hand-gear tiller 3 through the connecting swivel block 45, in which the arm 3 slides. The cylinders 20, 21 are fitted with relief valves 46, 47 connected by a pipe 48. When steering by steam, the hand-gear is shut off by valves 49, 50, and a trunnion valve 51 opens communication between the cylinders 20, 21 when the tiller-arm 2 moves, but shuts again when the steam valve 4 of the steering-engine is closed, thereby causing the hydraulic rams 43, 44 to hold rigidly to any position they take up and act as buffers.

In the form shown in Fig. 6, small horizontal straps D<1> are used with eyes C, loops B, and retaining-loops C', which may be dispensed with by placing the straps &c. at an angle. The strap or lace D, Fig. 8, passes through loops C engaging eyes, and may be retained in a hole in the upper.
Patent GB-190206919-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Digging, Sorting, and Delivering Potatoes.
Inventor: WAKE WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-03-21
Granted: 1903-03-21
Abstract: 6919. Wake, W. March 21. Sifting potatoes.-Relates to an implement for digging, sorting, and delivering potatoes either into a cart or into sacks. The main frame A is supported on two main wheels B and on a front steering-wheel F. The potatoes are dug by two shares R arranged side by side and supported by bars 7 working in guides 8 and connected by links 15 to arms 17 on a rock-shaft 16 operated by a handlever 11. Coulters 9 are rigidly attached to the shares R. Brackets Q attached to the bars 7 support a shaft P on which the lower end of a dresser 0 is mounted. The dresser 0 is formed in two parts mounted respectively at the rear of the shares R, and serves for separating the greater part of the soil from the potatoes. A number of carriers Z are mounted on chains Y over the dresser and assist in raising the potatoes up the surface of the dresser. The carriers Z are driven either by contact with the dresser 0, or by independent gearing. The potatoes and haulms pass from the dresser 0 to a separator 25 which.throws the haulms either into a shoot or upon the ground while the potatoes roll down a shoot 44 to a bucket elevator 45. The elevator 45 delivers the potatoes into a sorting- screen consisting of an endless sifting-surface working in a trough and fitted with cross-bars for conveying the potatoes to the discharge end of the screen, where a swivelling shoot is arranged so that the potatoes can be discharged in any direction. The small potatoes which fall through the screen are delivered by a separate shoot arranged in the bottom of the trough which is solid for part of its length. The moving parts are all driven by suitable gearing from main gear rims J fixed to the main wheels B. The pinions gearing with the rim J can be thrown into and out of gearing simultaneously with the lowering and raising of the shares R by means of suitable connections operated by the arms 18 on the rock-shaft 16. Rollers or drums 5 with teeth 6 may be mounted beneath the returning portion of the dresser 0 to support it and assist in breaking np the soil. The Specification describes several methods of constructing the sifting-surfaces of the dresser O and separator 25. They may consist of parallel chains placed close together and having certain links enlarged and perforated for the passage of transverse bars which may be attached to the side chains. They may consist of wires threaded through holes in transverse bars. They may also consist of transverse bars passing loosely through openings in vertical flanges on the links of the side chains. In the case of the separator, the transverse bars may be bent to form projections 33, 33 which serve to carry off the haulms. Similar projections on the underside of the bars engage a reciprocating rod which causes the bars to have a transverse reciprocating movement in addition to their movement of translation along the sitting-surface.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Tipplers
Inventor: TURNBULL FRED
Filed: 1902-07-07
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 15,074. Turnbull, F., and Maughan, B. July 7. Tipping-apparatus.-Relates to rotary tipplers for coal &c. such as described in Specification No. 1180, A.D. 1896. As before, a slow-discharge speed and a quick-return speed are obtained by making the end rings with two peripheries a<1>, a<2> of different diameters, the larger peripheries a<1> bearing on the smaller diameters b<1> of the driving- pulleys for the slow speed, and the smaller peripheries on the larger diameters b<2> for the quick speed. The larger periphery a', however, instead of being struck from two centres, is, like the smaller periphery, a true circle, but is eccentric to this latter. Near the completion of a rotation of the tippler, a projection e engages a loose roller f on the driving-shaft, thus lifting the tippler out of engagement with the driving-pulley. A catch h<1> then engages a projection g, and brings the tippler to rest. On the release of the catch h<1> by the handle i, the weight of the tippler causes the projection e to rotate the pulley f till the end rings again rest on the driving-pulleys, which rotate continuously.

Title: Improvements in Valves and Taps
Inventor: POOLE WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1903-03-19
Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 6341. Poole, W. J. March 19. Lift valves; dirt, preventing lodgment of ; handles. - Relates to a tap or valve, for steam, water, &c., in which a valve B, preferably of antifriction metal, and connected to, or forming part of, a spindle B<1>, is normally held against a seat C by the pressure of the fluid. The spindle passes through a stuffing-box A<3>, and is formed square at its upper end, as at B', which passes loosely through a hole in an externally-threaded boss D, of an actuating handwheel D<1> screwing through a bridge E'. A recess D<2> is formed in the wheel D<1>, to receive a spiral spring G, which encircles the upper end of the spindle B<1>, and is held in place by a detachable stop B' on the extreme end of the spindle. To open the valve, the hand-wheel is turned so as to cause the boss D to bear on a collar B<3> fitted to the lower end of the squared part of the spindle. When the hand-wheel is turned in the opposite direction, the pressure of the fluid, assisted by the upward action of the boss D against the spring G, closes the valve, after which the rotation of the hand-wheel is continued so as to cause a slight grinding action between the valve and its seat, and press the spring G until a stop pin D<3>, on the boss D, engages with the underside of the bridge E'. An opening A<4>, closed by screw plug H, permits of the insertion or removal of the valve and its spindle, without interfering with the hand-wheel D, and vice versÔ, the same means being also applicable to that form of valve in which the inlet and outlet passages are at right-angles to each other.

Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 17,891. Hamilton, W. E. Aug. 18. Conveyers; elevators; loading and unloading.- Relates to apparatus for loading coal and other articles, whereby the material is carried up an inclined gathering-device on to a horizontal conveyer. The apparatus consists of a motor-driven shaft 1, Fig. 2, mounted in a frame which is on wheels, operating, by means of the bevel-wheel 4, 5, a vertical shaft 6, having a universal joint at its upper end. Through this joint is operated the shaft 8, upon which is mounted a pulley 10 driving an endless chain fitted with hinged vanes, which by their motion cause the material to ascend the slope 25 the lower end of which forms a gathering- scoop and falls,on to the horizontal endless-band conveyer 64. This conveyer is also driven by gearing from the shaft 1. To enable the gathering-device to be lifted out of gear with the vertical shaft 6, the upper portion 73 of the universal joint is bifurcated as shown in Fig. 9. A bent lever 31, Fig. 2, is fitted to raise the end of the gatherer 25 over any obstacle. The vanes are attached to the pins of the endless chain as shown in Fig. 5 so that they are capable of universal movement. A pulley 23 is fitted on the end of the connecting-bolt, and acts as a stop working against the inclined slope 25. In order that the end of the slope 25 may act as a scoop, a rope 37 is attached to it passing over a pulley at the end of the arm 40 and thence to the drum 35. This is driven by clutches and friction gearing as shown from the motor 3. On the same shaft as the drum 35 is a drum 55, used for hauling the machine along the rails, and operated in a similar manner.
