Title: Improvements in and connected with Pneumatic Apparatus for Operating Railway Signals, Points, and the like
Inventor: DODGSON FRANK LEMONT
Filed: 1901-03-16
Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 5575. Dodgson, F. L. March 16. Semaphore &c. signals ; indicators and repeaters, point or switch and signal ; indicating condition of bridges &c. - Relates to pneumatic apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 183, A.D. 1900, for operating and indicating the position of movable railway superstructures, such as semaphores, points, gates, or bridge-locks. Fig. 1 shows the application to a railway switch, the main features, such as the operating-lever L, slide valve V, indication cylinders I<1>, I<2>, relay valves R<3>, R', R<1>, R<2>, motion plate 46, indication valve D. locking- tappets 43, 44, and interlocking bars B, being identical in construction and operation with the corresponding parts described in the prior Specification above quoted. In the present invention, four valves A, A<1>, A<2>, A<3>, each of the construction shown in Fig. 2, are employed. By using these valves, only two pipes 7, 8 are required, instead of four as in the prior Specification, for the transmission of the air pressure to the four relay valves R' ... R' of the operating and indicating mechanisms. When the valve, Fig. 1, is in the position shown, air admitted through the lateral connection 9 can operate the diaphragm 12 of the corresponding relay valve. If, however, air is admitted through the lower connection 10, it raises the double valve 11 on to the seat 13, and closes the passage to the diaphragm 12, while opening communication between the connections 10, 9. To prevent the diaphragm from being operated by any air leaking past the valve 11, this valve is connected by the arm 15 to a check valve 14, which opens the diaphragm chamber to exhaust as the valve 11 is raised. When the operating-lever L, Fig. 1, is pulled to the left, the valve V is moved to admit air from the supply T to the valve A<3>, the valve 11 of which is then raised and allows the air to pass through the pipe 7 to the connection 10 of the valve A<1>. This valve allows the air to open the . relay valve R<2>, so as to admit air from the supply T to the operating-cylinder of the motion plate 46. When the motion plate has completed its movement, the indication valve D has been moved to connect the pipes 4, 3, so allowing air to pass from the relay valve R<2> through the pipes 3, 4 to the valve A. The valve 11 of this valve is thereby raised, and allows the air to pass through the pipe 8 to the lateral connection of the valve A', and so to open the relay valve R<4>, admitting air from the supply to the indication cylinder P, the piston-rod of which, acting in the inclined slot 50, completes the stroke of the lever L, as described in the prior Specification. The operation on the return movement of the lever is similar, the pipe 8 then serving as the outgoing pressure pipe, and the pipe 7 as the return pipe to the indication mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Regenerative Gas Reheating Furnaces.
Inventor: SIEMENS FREDERICK
Filed: 1902-11-14
Granted: 1903-10-01
Abstract: 25,057. Siemens, F. Nov. 14. Heating-furnaces for iron &c.-Relates to regenerative gas re-heating furnaces having one end of the hearth comparatively cool and the other end at the desired finishing heat. In order that the regenerators may be heated regularly and sufficiently to maintain the desired temperature at the finishing end, the heating-chamber of the furnace is, in some cases, divided into two parts by a transverse partition e, Fig. 4, and each part is heated by a separate regenerative gas furnace, preferably such as described in Specification No. 8355, A.D. 1898. At the level of the hearth, the partition e is provided with an opening just large enough for a single ingot or bloom to pass. The cold ingots are fed in at the mouth b of the forward part of the heating-chamber, and are gradually advanced by a mechanical device a into and through the flame p, thereby becoming gradually heated. They then pass under the partition e into the flame f, where they are brought to a finishing heat, and finally ejected by suitable means. The heating-chamber may be made large enough to contain a double row of ingots, separate openings being provided in the partition e for each row. In this case, the finishing end may be heated by a double continuous flame, as in Fig. 9. In Fig. 10, a furnace is shown in which the ingots travel on watercooled tubes k arranged on a sloping hearth. Sometimes a number of heating-flames are passed transversely across the cooler part of the furnace from openings at the sides. Fig. 15 shows a furnace in which the separate flame for the cooler part is dispensed with. The transverse partition is then replaced by a longitudinal partition m, round the end of which the flame is caused to pass. A double row of ingots is fed into this furnace.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Brakes for Cycles and the like Vehicles.
Inventor: TRIGWELL JAMES RICHARD
Filed: 1902-12-31
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 28,893. Trigwell, J. R. Dec. 31. Brakes; clips.-In brakes for cycles and like vehicles, the shoe is carried by a spindle c, which can slide in the carrier d and in a recess in a key e and is locked by screwing up a nut on the key. The spindle may be screw-threaded, Fig. 3, or roughened, the recess in the key being correspondingly formed ; the hole in the carrier is plain. The key may have a flat tapered part e<3>. A bell-crank lever on the steering-stem is connected to a lever on the handle-bar by a rod f, the effective length of which can be adjusted. This adjustment is effected by securing a hook j, which engages the lever on the handle-bar, in different positions on the rod by a set-screw or the like, the rod passing through the shank of and closing the hook. Guides l<4> for the brake cable are formed in a bridge clip, Figs. 11 and 14, and a circular clip, Figs. 11 and 12. The bridge clip is made of a piece of sheet metal divided at the ends, which ends are folded upon themselves to form lugs through which screws l<3> are passed. According to the Provisional Specification, the blocks are arranged on spring-controlled carriers, mounted on axes clipped to the frame, and are caused to approach one another to apply the brake through the medium of a wedge between the upper ends of the carriers, operated by a cable, levers, or otherwise. The hand-lever is stated to be secured to the handle-bar, and the bell-crank lever to the steering-stem, by sheet-metal clips fixed to lugs and having loops fitted with blocks through which screws on the lugs pass.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
Inventor: RATHBONE JOHN JAMES
Filed: 1903-03-10
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 5572. Rathbone, J. J., and Smith, E. R. March 10. Arc lamps.-A thermal regulating-device consists of a capsule or capsules caused to expand by heat supplied by the current and thus to actuate the movable carbon. A small incandescent lamp C or resistance coil is contained in the chamber B, in which is also fixed the thermostatic capsule D, connected by the nut G to the lever E pivoted at F. The other end of the lever is connected by a rod H to a spring I, to which is attached a cord J passing round the pulley K and attached to a spring M weaker than the spring I. This band J acts as a brake upon the step pulley L, of which the pulley K forms a part. The weighted carbonholder P, sliding in guides S, hangs from the cord Q, which is attached at R to the step pulley. The weight of the carbon-holder P and its carbon is balanced by a counterweight T attached to a pulley on the other side of the pulley block. Attached to the lever E at the point Y is a cord W, which passes once round the pulley Z and then supports the weight X. On switching on the current, the lever E is raised by the expansion of the capsule D, and the cord J is slackened, enabling the upper carbon to descend under the influence of the weighted cord W. As soon as the carbons touch, less heat is given to the capsule and the lever falls so that the grip of cord W will rotate the pulley to strike the arc. In case of the holder P not feeding properly, the lever E will continue to rise till the pin a on the rod H lifts the contact spring b and opens the shunt circuit to the lamp C, thus protecting the capsule from bursting. For street-lighting, two capsules may work in opposition to each other, one being heated by the main current, and the other by the shunt current.

Granted: 1903-07-09
Abstract: 7976. Sundell, F. R. A. April 6. Cements; stone, artificial and imitation.-A brick, wood, or other wall is plastered by applying a facing-layer of thin plaster or cement to a horizontal glass or other plate, sprinkling dry cement or plaster of Paris on the facing-layer, or drying the layer, raising the glass plate against the wall, and running in cement or plaster between the wall and facing-layer. When the plaster has solidified, the plate is removed. For ceilings, one or more backing-layers are applied to the facing-layer on the horizontal plate, with or without lagging, and may be consolidated by stamping before the compound plastic sheet is applied to the ceiling. The composition may consist of 10 parts by volume of Keene's cement and 1 to 12 parts of powdered alum mixed with the glue water ; sugar may be added to produce a polished washable surface and prevent the formation of blotches. When it is desired to imitate marble or other stone or wood, a design is applied by crayons or brushes to the facing-layer on the plate. For walls, the facing-layer may be dispensed with, and the material may be poured in between the glass plate and the wall. The material forms a hard surface which does not absorb much oil when painted. The surface mass may consist of a colour composition with a transparent surface layer. For cheaper work, plaster of Paris may be used, with or without lime water.
