Title: Improvements in and relating to Wringing and like Machines.
Inventor: WHITAKER RONALD GEORGE
Filed: 1905-07-04
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 13,792. Whitaker, R. G., and Harrison, G. H. July 4. Wringing-machines.-Relates to means by which a board hung in front of the upper roller with its lower edge opposite the opening between the two rollers is adapted, when the hand is brought against it, to put the driving-mechanism out of gear. The driving-pulley B and a toothed pinion b fixed to it are mounted loosely on one of the roller axles x<1>, and a toothed wheel C is fixed on the same axle. The wheel C and pinion b gear with a pinion d and toothed wheel D made in one piece and mounted to rotate freely on a sleeve or bushing E carried eccentrically and free to rotate about an axle e so that the wheels and pinions may be put out of gear with each other. Thus when the teeth are in gear, the motion of the driving-pulley is imparted to the pinion b and, through it, to the wheel and pinion on the sleeve E, which pinion in turn, gearing with the wheel C, rotates the roller axle x<1> and its roller. When the teeth are out of gear, the pulley Band pinion b rotate freely without producing any effect. Normally the teeth are held in gear against the action of a spring F by a lever G on the bar a on which the board A is hung. This lever engages a notch h formed in a disk H carried by the sleeve E. Thus when the hand pushes the board A back, the lever G frees the disk H and the spring F rotates it and the sleeve so that the wheels and pinions are put out of gear. They may be put in gear again by means of a rack 1 engaging with teeth on the disk H. A roller K may be used running freely in bearings in the side frames and capable of being depressed against springs k<1>.

Inventor: PEBAL VINCENZ EDLER VON
Filed: 1905-09-29
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 19,740. Pebal, Vincenz, Edler von. Sept. 29. Compressed-air engines; hot - air engines. - Compressed air or gas for driving the motor of a torpedo is taken at first direct from the reservoir, but subsequently is passed through a special apparatus in which it is heated by thermit, the reaction of which is started at the moment of launching. The valve apparatus for effecting the change of path of the motive fluid consists of a valve piece 50 working on two seats 51, 52, and having an inlet 59 from the compressed-air reservoir and outlets 58, 60 communicating with the motor directly and indirectly through the heating-apparatus, respectively. At first, the unbalanced pressure of the air on the end of the spindle 53, communicated to it by a small hole 61, causes the valve to close the lower outlet, and the air passes directly to the motor. Subsequently, as the pressure falls, the spring 56 overcomes this excess pressure, and the valve takes the upper position, so that the air passes through the heater.

Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 915. Digby. W. P., and Marshall, A. W. M. Jan. 12. Hypochlorites, obtaining. In the electrolytic production of hypochlorites, the electrodes are separated b y a diaphragm made e oi practically non porous material such as ebonite slate, &c., the por tion below the liquid level being perforated with number of small holes; the caustic liquid from the cathode is caused to pass through these holes and impinge on the anode so as to assure the union of the alkali and chlorine. In the apparatus shown, the diaphragm d encloses the cathode c, which may be a bent sheet of zinc supported, say, by its leads f; the anode may be of platinum supported by ebonite ; the electrolyte is drawn off through the pipe g, and after passage through cooling-apparatus it is returned to the cathode compartment by the pipe h; the requisite pressure is thus obtained for causing the cathode products to impinge on the anode. A perforated diaphragm across the vat may be substituted for the box diaphragm, and the circulation may be obtained, say, by raising the side and end walls of the cell so that the liquid level in the cathode compartment is slightly higher than that in the anode compartment.

Title: Improved Methods of Signalling in Wireless Telegraphy
Inventor: POULSEN VALDEMAR
Filed: 1906-03-14
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 6217. Pouisen, V. March 14. Telegraphs.-Signals are transmitted in wireless telegraphy by means of continuous electric vibrations produced by an electric arc connected to self-induction coils and condensers in such a way as to obtain variations in intensity by altering the distance between the electrodes. Fig. 1 shows a current diagram, in which the arc between the electrodes d, e is supplied through the wires a, b, the vibration circuit containing a condenser g, and a self-induction coil f being connected to the antenna either directly or inductively. Fig. 4 shows a side elevation and Fig. 6 a plan, both partly in section, of a constructional form of the device. A carbon electrode 3 is rotatably mounted in a marble wall 1 of a chamber containing some gas containing hydrogen, such as coal-gas. A copper electrode 10 is held by an arm 9 secured to a loose disk 7, frictionally engaging a disk 6 fixed to a shaft 5 which is connected by pivoted arms 12,13 to a sleeve on an arm 14, the sleeve being normally raised by a spring 15, thus keeping the electrode 10 back against a stop 11. By depression of a button 16, the shaft 5 is rotated and the electrode 10 made to touch the electrode 3, and as the button 16 continues to descend, the electrodes are slightly separated owing to the movement of the arms 12, 13, and thus the arc is started. When the button 16 is released, the electrode 10 goes through the reverse operations, and at the same time a lever 19, connected to a shaft 20 with a lever and pawl 22 engaging a ratchetwheel 23, serves to rotate the electrode 3 partly against a scraping-tool 24, thus keeping the contacting surfaces clean. The device may be so arranged that the arc is not extinguished but only varied in length so as not to send vibrations while the electrodes are in some positions. The connexions are so arranged that the arc is only included in the vibration circuit while it has a certain length, so that only signals of a given vibration number-shall be transmitted. Iron cores 27 forming an electro-magnet may be used to-keep the arc in a magnetic field.
