Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Superheating Steam.
Inventor: EINDHOVEN JEAN
Filed: 1902-06-21
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 14,097. Eindhoven, J., and Wildt, O. H. June 21. Superheaters, steam.-The superheater consists of a bundle of close-ended tubes a<1>, a' opening into an end chamber f, to which the steam is admitted. Each tube is provided with a longitudinal partition c, whereby the steam from the end chamber is compelled to pass to the extremity of the close-ended tubes before returning to the end chamber to pass in succession through the vent tubes, and so on until the outlet at h<2> is reached. The long tubes of the series are supported in the cast-iron partition b, which divides the superheater into two chambers, the furnace gases first entering the chamber into which the end of the tubes project. The partitions in the tubes may be hollow, and in consequence become filled with stagnant steam. On a cessation of the passage of the steam, or by a stoppage of the engine, the weighted vane m drops, and a cock m controlling the supply to the blower k opens, with the result that steam and air passes over the tubes and protects them from the heat of the incandescent bricks.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Charging Tube Blanks into Furnaces.
Filed: 1902-12-16
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 27,819. Lake, H. H., [National Tube Co.]. Dec. 16. Heating-furnaces for metals ; charging.-Relates to machinery for charging long narrow plates into furnaces, applicable more especially for charging the blanks for the manufacture of butt-welded metal tubes into the furnace which heats them preparatory to the drawing and welding operation. Such plates usually vary in length, and the charging-machinery is adapted to leave them in the furnace in such a position that their front ends will be at a uniform distance from the withdrawing- opening, notwithstanding differences in length. The machine consists of a long carriage mounted on wheels so as to be capable of moving transversely across the charging opening of the furnace, and provided with mechanism having a variable stroke, for sliding one plate after another into the furnace. Figs. 2 and 3 are, respectively, a plan and side elevation of the machine, and Fig. 5 is a transverse section. A pile of plates rests on a platform 12 between guide-flanges 13, 15, one of which is adjustable. The top plate is thrust forwards by a rod or " picker arm " 23 projecting. with a bend to one side, from a carriage or " buggy " 21, which runs in guides beneath one side of the platform. This carriage is moved to and fro by a cable, which passes over a guide-pulley 25 at the front end of the machine and returns to the rear, where it is wound round a drum 28 and carried forwards again for attachment to the carriage. The drum 28 is operated by any suitable reversible means, such as an electric motor. The plates are put on the machine with their front edges flush, and the position of the rear end of each plate is read off on a scale on the side of the machine before it is propelled forwards, and the motor is stopped when the rear end has reached a corresponding mark at the front end of the machine ; or an index clamp may be attached to the cable, or any suitable indicating-appliance may be used to show when the requisite stroke has been completed.
Patent GB-190228535-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Friction Couplings.
Inventor: HERISSON ALBERT
Filed: 1902-12-24
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 28,535. HÚrisson, A. Dec. 24. Clutches. - The cone-shaped piece v of a friction clutch runs loosely on the shaft a, and is rotated by the motor &c. The sleeve d carrying the friction cone b is connected to the boss f by sliding pieces e. The sleeve d and boss f rotate loosely on the shaft a, the boss d being capable of moving longitudinally. To cause the shaft a to rotate, the sleeve d is moved along the shaft by means of the groove in the boss c. The friction cone b then engages with the rotating casing v, and causes the sleeve d to rotate and carry with it the wheel g. The wheel h and the spindle i, supported by the sleeve j fixed to the shaft a, are thus rotated, and cause the nut k to slide along the guide m on the arm n fixed to the sleeve. The nut k, moving outwards, presses the ring p, carrying the blocks u, against the casing v, and causes it to rotate. The adjusting-screw s presses against the arm n, and rotates the shaft a. The cup-shaped part v is fitted with the cover x, and may be partly filled with oil to serve as an oil bath. To throw the motor out of gear, the spring z is so connected that it tends to rotate the cone b in the opposite direction to the shaft a. The clutch may also be thrown out of gear by causing a cone on the boss c of the cone b to engage with a stationary cone, when the cone b is drawn backwards.

Title: Prepayment Attachment for Electricity Meters.
Inventor: SWAN ROBERT JOHN JOCELYN
Filed: 1903-01-07
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 459. Swan, R. J. J. Jan 7. Electricity, supplying, in general.-Relates to prepayment attachments for electricity meters. The electrical arrangements are shown diagrammatically in Fig. 7, a detail being shown in section in Fig. 5. The lighting or other consuming circuit 44, including a meter 42, is completed through a switch which consists of incomplete contact-rings 16, 17 on a disc 18 and a bridge 28 on an escape-wheel 26, the arbor 9 of which runs through a sleeve 13 carrying the disc. The disc and wheel being connected by a spring 25 which tends to bring the bridge to the gap 19 in the rings, the former is turned by hand after prepayment and the latter is then turned by the spring because the escapement 29 is put into operation by the current, being attached to a beam 30 which is rocked by two alternately-excited electromagnets. The electromagnets are in a divided shunt circuit 54 containing a rotary contact-maker 48 for the two branches, which is driven by the current meter 42 in the main circuit. The currents in the shunt are cut short since the beam, assisted by a spring, itself makes and breaks circuit at gaps 36, 37. The amount of current remaining to be delivered is shown by a pointer 11 on the escapement-wheel arbor and a dial on the sleeve. Coin action.-The coin led by a shoot 4, Fig. 4, lodges between a pair of pins 6 on a separatelymounted disc 5 and a wave-wheel 8 on the sleeve 13, Fig. 5, which carries the switch disc: The disc being turned by a handle, the coin enables it to drive the wave-wheel, which is prevented from reversing by a click 14.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Preventing Collisions and like Mishaps to Railway and other Trains.
Inventor: HOENNEKNOEVEL PAUL WALTER
Filed: 1903-01-22
Granted: 1903-11-19
Abstract: 1593. H÷nnekn÷vel, P. W. Jan. 22. Stopping engines and trains.-An automatic system is described in accordance with which, if two trains are e simultaneously present on the same section, the brakes are applied and steam cut off on both engines. Four copper rails 22, 22<a>, 23, 23<a> are laid between the track rails, the engine and each carriage carrying a current collector of the form shown in Fig. 6. The verticallymovable rod 33 is forked to receive the rotary vulcanite cylinder 34, in grooves on which are fixed four copper rings 35. Insulated brushes 38 bear on the rings. The rails 22<a>, 23<a> are continuous, and the rails 22, 23 are divided into sections insulated from one another at G<1>, G<2>. Batteries B', B<2> are connected across the breaks in the rails 22, 23, like poles being connected to opposite ends of each section. The pairs of wires p, q from the collector on the locomotive are connected to two electromagnets 1 on the locomotive, and the wires from the collectors on the carriages are connected to the springs 31, Fig. 5, of double knife-blade switches, normally open. If two trains are on one section at the same time, the circuit of the battery situated opposite the centre of that section is closed through the electromagnets 1 on both trains. The armatures 3 are then attracted, the sliding weight 6 released, the lever 8 struck, the bell crank 10 released, and the shaft 10<a> rocked by the action of the weight 11. The air-brake valve is actuated by the shaft 10<a>. In addition to this, the arm 18 no longer holds the pulley 16 against rotation, and the lever 13 is released, the pawl 15 engaging with the wheel 19 and shutting the steamregulating valve. A cord 20 on the locomotive is connected with a cord 20<a> running from end to end of the train and passing over pulleys 27, 44. If a carriage becomes derailed, the bar 40 drops, and the pulleys 44 pull down the cord 20<a>, thus rocking the lever 8 and applying the brakes &c. If the train parts, the tension on the cord before parting actuates the lever 8 and also pulls down the pulleys 27 and closes all the switches in the carriages. A carriage left on the line with its switch closed is protected against collision, for if a train enters on the section, a circuit is completed through the switch and the electromagnets 1. The switches are closed when the bar 24 is moved laterally by the bell crank 26 so as to release the spring- tensioned arm 28 on the shaft 33 which bears the knife-edged contact-blades 30.
