Title: Improved Transport Apparatus for Materials in Bulk.
Inventor: BRINK HEINRICH
Filed: 1904-05-09
Granted: 1904-06-23
Abstract: 10,675. Brink, H. May 9. Transporting goods on road and rail without breaki n g b u l k.-Consists of apparatus for transporting rubbish, dust, coal, &c. on road and rail in bulk, and for discharging such material at its destination. The material is loaded into a box a, which is carried on a cart b to the rail, and is there drawn along the beams f of the cart on to a truck c. The transfer may be effected by means of a screw l and nut j, which is connected by a link h to a hook on the box. Rollers n, Fig. 8, on the box engage in guide-slots on the truck, these slots being each formed by a fixed portion o, and a part q hinged thereto at p, so that it can be pushed aside to allow of the roller entering the slot. On the truck reaching the discharging point, quay-side, for instance, the box a is pulled to one side, and, by its own weight, thus caused to tip, the tipping being controlled by the upwardlycurved portions of the guide-slots.

Abstract: 20,967. Marks, G. C., [Mead, J. W., and Mackie, H. A.]. Sept. 29. Optical projection apparatus.-Fig. 1 is an elevation, and Fig. 2 a section of opticalprojecting apparatus for showing in succession and automatically a number of lantern slides arranged on an endless band, the projecting-lens also being automatically adjusted for each slide. The slides C are fixed on a band B which passes around sprocket-wheels D at the corners of a frame A. The band is driven and the necessary intermittent motion given to it by a motor K' acting through spur gearing of the Maltese-cross type. The band passes in front of the condenser I between guides J, J<1>, pressed together by springs. The projecting-lens E is mounted in a frame o fixed to two rods p and adapted to slide on rails o<2>. The inner end of one of the rods p is pressed by springs q against a lever r, pivoted at r<1>, and rocked by a rod s<2>, operated by a cam S acting upon the end s<1> of the rod. To effect the automatic adjustment of the objective for each slide, a wheel T, with a number of radial and adjustable pins equal in number to the slides on the band C, is driven with a step-bystep motion from the shaft D'. An arm t<1> projecting laterally from the rod p abuts, during the time that a slide is being projected, against one of the radially - adjustable pins. When the objective is pushed forwards by the action of the cam S, a pair of shutters, driven from the rocking shaft r<1>, are brought into action to cut off gradually the light from the screen and admit it again during the changing of the slides. The slides pass between a pair of brushes W driven from the motor.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents.
Inventor: FRISBY AUGUSTUS NELSON
Filed: 1905-05-31
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 11,424. Frisby, A. N. May 31. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Switches.-A motor shaft carries a number of resistances and a series of contacts which, on rotation, dip into mercury or other conductor to insert, or cut out resistance from the circuit. The motor has field magnets A, A' and an armature B on a shaft C which carries a pulley E. A belt G is fastened to a pin F on the pulley and to a spring G<1> fixed at the point H. The shaft C also carries a frame or drum I which supports a number of insulated resistances J, J<1>, J<2>, J<3>, and a frame L which carries contacts K, K<1>, K<2>, K<2>, upon its rim, the contacts being connected to the resistances by pieces M, M', M<2>, &c. A trough containing mercury or other conductor R is placed as shown in Fig. 2, thus connecting the terminal O on the casing to the terminal P, Fig. 1, through some of the resistance. If the current through the field magnets A, A<1> and armature B rises, the latter is rotated against the action of the spring G<1> to insert more resistance by moving the contacts K, K<1>, K<2>, &c. When the current falls, the spring G' revolves the armature in the opposite direction to cut out resistance. The Provisional Specification states that the contacts may be arranged as a commutator with brushes to lead the current to the various resistance sections, and means other than an electric motor may be used to rotate the shaft.
