Title: Improvements in Revolving Barrel Locks and Latches
Inventor: SEBRY CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1905-01-21
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 1207. Sebry, C. H., and Sebry, R. C. Jan. 21. Locks, key; keyholes; striking plates.-The circular box A is journalled in the lock case B so as to be free to revolve therein, and is provided with a recess in which are mounted slides E. Fixed to the case is the box D with its end of concave shape to fit the end of the box A, and also containing slides F under the control of springs G. When the key is inserted and turned, it first moves the slides E and F, until their ends are flush with the edges of their respective boxes, and then turns the box A thereby withdrawing or shooting the bolt. During each movement the box A is turned through a semicircle, a double keyhole being made in the journal of the box A to allow of the removal of the key. For use with latches, the box A is modified so that it is only necessary to rotate it through a small angle, the slides E being adapted to project through one side only of the box. In a modification, the box A is of the form shown in Fig. 4 with a notch H to correspond to a similarly shaped projection on the casing. Similar notches are provided in the slides J, which have to be brought into position by the key before the box can be rotated. Either a pivoted or sliding bolt can be used. The bolt aperture in the front of the case is surrounded by a metal guard K, Fig. 6, a corresponding recess being formed in the striking plate, as shown, to prevent picking the bolt from the outside.

Title: Automatic Regulating Apparatus for Electrical Installations with Variable Current Consumption, Worked by Dynamos and Accumulator Batteries.
Inventor: DICK EMIL
Filed: 1905-02-15
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 3183. Dick, E. Feb. 15. Lighting, systems of ; regulating.- Systems for train lighting &c such as described in Specification No. 8179, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Railway &c. vehicles], and No. 3440, A.D. 1899, which include dynamos, s e c o n - dary batteries, lamps or other devices consuming a variable amount of current, and automatic regulators controlling the resistance of the field-magnet circuit of the dynamo are modified to maintain constant voltage simultaneously at the lamps &c. and at the batteries by means of a direct-acting regulator, which varies the resistance in the dynamo field without using relays. A dynamo 1 has regulating- coils 7, 8 connected across the mains. Charging and lamp resistances 2, 3 are included in the battery circuits, and also a minor series regulating-coil 12. The regulating-coils 7, 8 act upon a core 13 which moves in a contact-vessel 14 built up of insulated iron rings 15 and filled with mercury, thus altering the exciting-current of the dynamo. The effect of the coils 7, 8 apart from the coil 12 would be to maintain a constant difference of potential between the ends of the battery and lighting circuits, irrespective of variations in the demand, while the coil 12 comes into action as the batteries are discharged, and sets a limit to the rise of current strength. An automatic switch apparatus keeps the dynamo disconnected while the train is at rest, connects it when a certain speed is reached to the lamps and battery through short-circuits round the resistances 2, 3, and, as the speed thereafter increases, inserts these resistances step by step, up to the point when the main voltage regulator comes into operation. Reference is made to Specifications No. 8392, A.D. 1895, and No. 1095, A.D. 1903. Two or more batteries connected in parallel may be used, and one or more batteries may be connected in parallel with the current-consuming devices to act as equalizing-batteries.

Title: An Improved Screw Press.
Inventor: FIDDYMENT JOHN CLARKSON
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 3980. Fiddyment, J. C., and McNally, J. J. Feb. 17. Presses. - The blades of a screw press are set on a tapering shaft body and are made alternately large and small, the smaller threads advancing and the larger ones dividing the material. The cylindrical casing of the press is formed of longitudinal slats or bars 6, held together so that grooves in their faces form radial drain passages leading into inner longitudinal straining-passages 9, adapted to receive strips of filtering-material. The drain passages decrease in size and are set closer together towards the discharge end. The slats are secured to bands 11 encircling them, hinged at one side and bolted together at' the other. Baffles 14, formed with projections lying against the smaller blades and between the larger, prevent the material from being carried round and so force it forward. At the discharge end of the press is a plate with an outwardly contracting orifice, the plate being adjustably bolted to the chamber at 18. The discharge end of the screw body may in some cases be made cylindrical. The screw thread is formed at the part 26 at the receiving end nearly parallel to the ends of the chamber while the extreme end of the screw is pitched at a greater angle and terminates at the end plate 19. The portion 26 may be made in two parts 26, 26<1>, diverging and against converging ; the space between these parts may be filled. In the parallelsided passage formed between the end plate and the thread 26, quadrantal check pieces 21, Fig. 13, hinged in the end plate, work horizontally, so that they are alternately pushed outwards by the part 27 of the thread, when they allow material to fall from the hopper 31, and pushed inwards by an external cam 32, when they prevent the entry of more material and the rotation of that under treatment. The check pieces and the blade 26 are provided with farther layers 24, 29, by removing which more material may be allowed to enter. In some cases, the cylindrical shell of the apparatus may be provided with apertures. The apertures are set in longitudinal rows, those in contiguous rows being staggered with respect to one another. In one form, shown in Fig. 16, the outwardly flared openings contain screens 34, between which and the openings a strip of straining-material 36 passes. The screens may be cast integral with the shell. In some cases, the straining-material may be held between an outer screen and an inner grating. When fabric is used facing the material, it may be strengthened by a wire screen on its face or by wire strands woven into it or arranged along the face. The apertures may be screwed, to receive screwed straining-plugs. Another form, in which a screw plug holds a straining-device, consisting of a piece of material held between perforated disks, against a shoulder, is shown in Fig. 23. The press chamber may be lined throughout by perforated sections.
