Patent GB-190100998-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Brakes for Railway and Tramway Vehicles.
Inventor: NEWELL FRANK CLARENCE
Filed: 1901-01-15
Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 998. Newell, F. C. Jan. 15. Brakes.-The wheel shoes 15, which are connected to hand-shafts, are normally operated by magnetic rail shoes 3, which are connected by telescopic thrust-bars 12, 13 to the levers 14 jointed to the bars 16. Assuming the vehicle is travelling to the left, and the shoe 3 is magnetized, the thrust on the right-hand set of bars 12, 13 and levers 14 applies the right-hand brakes, while the arms 17 of the bars 16 act centrally on the lefthand blocks 15, and force them against their wheels. The thrust connections 12, 13 are formed of non-magnetic material.

Abstract: 5777. Hunter, R. M. March 19. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the propulsion of vehicles by gasoline or other engines, and comprises means for applying motive power, and steering-devices, adapted for the conversion of ordinary vehicles into motor vehicles. In carrying out the invention, the forecarriage D is provided with steering-wheels F, preferably to the rear of the king bolt or pivot e, which steering-wheels, by a vertical steering-shaft G, rod i, and handle I can be adjusted so as to cause the forecarriage to turn in the required direction. The motor K can either be supported on the rear axle, as shown, and suspended at K<1> from the vehicle body, or it may be carried on the forecarriage as indicated in dotted lines. It drives the road wheels by chain or other gear k, L. The controlling-devices are arranged so as to be operated by the person in charge of the steering-lever. These comprise, in the example shown, a fuel valve M' operated by a handle at n, a switch S for regulating the electrical ignition, and a hand-lever H for changing the gear for regulating the speed or reversing, all the connections being made sufficiently flexible to allow for the movement of the vehicle on its springs. A modification is shown in which the rear axle is connected by a tie bar with the forecarriage.

Title: Improvements in Rod-packing for Piston-rods and Valve-stems.
Filed: 1901-05-30
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 11,141. Wise, W. L., [Barr, J. R.]. May 30. Stuffing- boxes.- Relates to rod packing for piston-rods and valve stems, and especially for the throttle or regulator rods of locomotive and other engines, and consists in providing a steam-tight juint that permits the removal and renewal of the fibrous packing without letting down the boiler pressure, also means for locking the regulator rod while the packing is being removed and renewed, and, lastly, means for compressing the packing. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention applied to the boiler head of a locomotive. The rod B passes through a stuffing-box C secured to the boiler shell and containing a number of split conical packing- rings H capable of being compressed by a gland D. The gland D screws into the stuffing-box C, and is in the form of a second stuffing. box containing fibrous packing F compressed by a gland D'. To enable the gland D to be adjusted so as to compress the packing H and lock the rod, it is formed with a toothed periphery which engages with a pinion M<1> supported in a bearing in the flange c of the stuffing-box C and capable of being operated by a wrench. In another form, the intermediate gland as well as the outer gland is adjusted by nuts and studs in the usual way. Fig. 6 shows a form in which the fixed stuffing-box C contains the fibrous packing, and in this slides a sleeve K screwed on the rod B and packed at L, the function of the packing-rings H being performed by a flange k<1> on the sleeve K which can be screwed tightly on a conical seating as shown.

Abstract: 11,753. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin- Fabrikation]. June 8. p-Chloro-o-amidophenol sulphonic acid is produced by boiling p-chloro-o-nitrophenol with sodiumbisulphite solution at the reflux cooler, or with sodium-sulphite solution in a closed vessel at about 150‹-160‹ C. On boiling the resulting solution with hydrochloric acid and then refrigerating it, the product separates in a crystalline mass. Dyes, artificial.-Mono and disazo dyes are produced by combining the diazo compound of the foregoing p-chloro-o-amidophenol sulphonic acid with suitable dye-stuff components. For example : - (1) With 1 : 8-amidonaphthol-3 : 6- or 2 : 4-disulphonic acid a dye is obtained which dyes wool, from an acid bath containing copper salts, clear and fast blue shades; (2) the monoazo dye obtained from diazotized a naphthylamine and 1 : 8-amidonaphthol-4 - sulphonic acid, when combined with the diazo compound of p-chloro-o-amidophenol sulphonic acid, yields a disazo dye which dyes wool in an acid bath black shades. On subsequent treatment with bichromates the shade is deepened, and becomes extraordinarily fast to soaping and milling.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for the Reception of Sound Signals for Nautical and other Purposes
Inventor: MEULEMEESTER EMILE DE
Filed: 1902-01-09
Granted: 1902-05-08
Abstract: 697. Meulemeester, E. de. Jan. 9. Sounds, locating.-Sound-receiving and locating apparatus of the character described in Specification No. 19,315, A.D. 1901 is, according to the present invention, employed for the reception of sound signals on sea or land, such signals being transmitted according to a suitable code designed to replace the telegraph code. When used on ships, the apparatus may be employed in conjunction with a telegraph by which the attendant at the receiver can transmit the messages, received and translated by him, to the officer in charge. The indicating portion of the receiving-apparatus, is shown in the Figure, the rack 9, which operates the interrupters 6 in the sound - conveying tubes, occupying three-quarters of the circumference of the disc 10, instead of one quarter as in the prior Specification above quoted. When the needle 12 points to the axle 7 of one of the interrupters, that interrupter and the two adjacent to it are open, the others being closed, but, when the needle points midway between two of the tubes, all the interrupters are open. When the direction of the sound has been determined, the receiver is kept stationary while the signals are being received. To facilitate the perception of the sound, a single tube 5, provided with one or more ear-pieces, is connected to the annular chamber 14, and a partition 19, preferably forming a continuation of one side of the tube 5, is placed in the chamber to direct the sounds into the tube.

Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 25,076. Wilkes, E., [trading as Wilkes & Co., E.], and Cresswell, J. Nov. 15. Locks, key.- Means are provided whereby the levers and stump or the tumbler, of a lock bolt are relieved from undue pressure, if an attempt is made tc force the bolt inwards. The levers C, instead of being pivoted to the case. are pivoted to the short arm c of an L-shaped lever D, which is pivoted on a pin secured to the case. The levers are maintained in engagement with the stump f of the bolt A by means of a spring or springs g. When end pressure is applied to the bolt, the lever D is turned slightly on its pivot so as to bring the long arm e behind the head of the bolt, and thereby relieving the levers &c. from any further pressure. A guide-pin h on the case engages a slot in the bolt. With this arrangement, picking of the lock is rendered more difficult.
