Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators.
Inventor: IHLE GUSTAV
Filed: 1905-05-05
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 9544. Ihle, G. May 20, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. - Speed indicators:- In an electro-magneticspeed indicator, a light hollow body c of aluminium or other metal is mounted inside a system of magnets a which is rotated and causes t h e metal body to turn through an angle against the action of a spiral spring f. The spindle of the body carries a pointer and has bearings on one side of the case, as shown in section. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes also the use of an iron core rotated with the magnets, andshows a modified form in which the spindle' of the metal body passes through. hollow trunnions supporting the magnets and core. One trunnion forms a driving-pulley. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Wind Motors.
Inventor: METHFESSEL ERNST
Filed: 1905-05-24
Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 10,848. Methfessel, E. May 24. Turbines. - Several sets of vane - wheels are mounted in a conical casing, and the wind after acting upon these passes, by way of a jacket surrounding the casing, to a secondary set of fans, thus increasing the power of the motor. The framework 1 carries a tubular casing 2 on ball bearings 3. The top of the casing is provided with a roof 4 and vane 5 to direct the motor to the wind automatically. Inside the funnel or casing 6, vanewheels 7, 8, 9, 10 are mounted to drive spindles 13, 14, 15, 16 by cone gears 11, 12. These spindles by means of bevel-wheels 17 drive the wheel 19 on the shaft 18 from which the shaft 22 derives its motion through the wheels 20, 21. A fly-wheel 23 serves to steady the motion. The secondary set of vanes 24 are mounted on a hub 25 which also drives the shaft 22 through the wheels 27, 21. Communicating between the jacket 28 and the interior of the funnel is effected by means of apertures 29. Doors 30 closed by spring-loaded valves 32 prevent the wind pressure in the casing from rising to high. The motor is shown driving a dynamo.

Title: Improvements relating to Railway Control Apparatus.
Inventor: BARBERIE JOHN
Filed: 1906-07-06
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 15,417. Barberie, J. July 6. Electric railways and tramways.-In an apparatus for automatically stopping an electrically-driven train when passing a signal at 'danger,' arrangements are made to enable the driver to put the engine apparatus in inoperative condition in order to pass the track obstacle at 'danger' if required, but such action also cuts off the power from the motors and applies the brakes either at once or after a given time. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the track obstacle 1 is arranged to break the frangible'cap 3 of the tube 4 to open the brake pipe 10 to atmosphere through the cylinder 9 and holes 48 in the tube 4. The tube 4 is attached to the piston 8 in the cylinder 5, and is lifted clear of the obstacle 1 by this piston when air is admitted beneath the piston by the operation of the valve 15, which at the same time admits pressure to the upper end of the cylinder 20. The piston 25 is thus depressed against the action of the spring 27, and under the control of the dashpot beneath it, until the lower end 51 of the pistonrod engages and opens the valve 11, which puts the brake pipe to atmosphere. The parts are replaced by closing the valve 15. By operating the valve 15 for a short period while passing the obstacle 1 and then replacing it, the driver is able to proceed past the obstacle without actually applying the brakes. Additional contacts are arranged in the motor circuit to be broken when the brakes are applied and are operated by the spring-controlled piston 36 in the cylinder 35 connected to the brake cylinder 33. A further contact 44 is arranged in connexion with a multiple-control circuit, and the valve 19 is provided to put the brake-applying apparatus at one end out of action when the car is to be operated from the other end. The apparatus shown in Fig. 2 is operated by electric contacts controlled by the signalman. The rail h<2> is connected to the power supply rail e<2> when the signal is at danger,' and the train carries a contact h' engaging therewith and supplying the motor d through contacts h', h<8> mounted on, but insulated from, the switch arm e<5>. The motor d moves two valves, one d<3> in the train-pipe d<1>, and the other c<6> serving to pass air from the reservoir c<5> to the chamber c, where it acts upon a wing piece on the spindle of the controller handle b<2> and moves it to the stop' position. By turning the switch e<5>, the motorman cuts out the motor d and inserts resistance in, and then breaks, the power circuit, and the car may then run by its own momentum for a certain distance past the auxiliary rail h<2>. The valves d<3>, c<6> must be replaced by hand to the normal position.

Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 28,045. Garson, I. H. Dec. 8. Sale apparatus; casings.-Vending-machines are adapted to deliver cigars from an ordinary cigar box 8, Fig. 2, which, after the bottom has been removed, is placed above the hopper 7 so that the box and its contents may be easily viewed through the transparent panels 2 in the sides and top of the casing. Special means are provided to prevent injury to cigars during delivery. Actuating - mechanism ; delivery mechanism.- After prepayment, the shaft 15, Fig. 6, is rotated by an external handle, the arm 49 and pawl 47 turning the sleeve 14, on which the recessed carrier 13 is mounted, by means of the ratchet 48 ; the foremost cigar passes between the friction rollers 17, 17<a>, on the carrier and hopper respectively, into the delivery drawer 18. During its passage, the cigar rocks the arms 22, which pass between the different sections of the carrier, and thence through links 24, 26 operates the shaft 64, Fig. 5. A cam 72, which rotates with the carrier, turns the link 74 by means of the roller 73, depressing the plunger 80 through the links 76, 77 so as to remove the hooked end of the spring 81, which is attached to the drawer 18, from engagement with the casing, permitting the drawer to be pressed slightly forward by a spring and then to be withdrawn by the operator. The motion of the link 76 simultaneously turns the shaft 20, raising the arm 19 through slits 21 in the hopper so as to drop a cigar into the adjacent compartment of the carrier. The spring 71, Fig. 6, serves to return the shaft 15, the rotation of which is limited by the arm 51 working between stops 52, 53.

The parts A<2>, A<3> are longer than the parts B<2>, B3 to engage a little earlier. The forks E are operated by rods G which may be resiliently actuated. The lowest speed may be of the ordinary sliding-gear type so as to allow of reversal by the interposition of an idler. Stationary circular bushes may be provided to support the wheels D when out of action.
