Title: Improvements in Electrical Station Indicators for use in connection with Railway Trains
Inventor: LOSADI FRANZ
Filed: 1902-08-02
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 17,173. Losßdi, F. Aug. 2. Indicators, stopping-place and like.-Relates to electrical indicators for showing in railway trains the name of the next stopping-station, and, if desired, the duration of the stop. The indicators 1 in the various carriages are all connected in circuit with a similar indicator, a battery 23, and an operating-key 24 in the guard's van. On the depression of the key, the electromagnet 3 of each apparatus causes its armature 4 to advance the spring-controlled pawl 6 over the next tooth on the ratchet-wheel 9, the spindle 8 of which carries a pointer 19 movable over the indicating-plates 26 bearing the names of the stations &c. On the release of the key, the spring 10 returns the armature, the pawl 6 moving the wheel 9 through the space of one tooth, and causing the pointer to move to the name of the next station on the p'ate 26. A check pawl 12 is provided to prevent movement in the reverse direction. The names of the stations are marked in succession on the plate 26, and in the reverse order on the other side of the plate, so that, by reversing the plate, it serves for the return journey. The plate is formed on each side with a hole 21, Fig. 5, to receive a fixed pin on the cover-plate 13 of the apparatus, and with a slot 22 for engagement with a spring catch on the opposite side. The plate is inserted by engaging one end with the fixed pin, and then sliding it in until the other end is engaged by the catch. The external cover 20 is secured by screws, and is formed with a sight aperture covered by a transparent plate. In case of failure of one of the apparatus to work properly, it can be set correctly by means of the key shown in Fig. 3, which is formed to fit the squared end 18 of the spindle 8. The other end of the key is adapted to release the spring catch, to permit the removal of the indicating-plate.

Inventor: SUTHERLAND ALEXANDER
Filed: 1902-11-15
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 25,101. Sutherland, A. Nov. 15 Bicycles; mounting, facilitating; saddle supports. -In order to facilitate mounting a bicycle or other velocipede, the saddle is fixed to a support H which can be lowered, before mounting, and made to spring back into its normal position, after mounting. The support H is fixed to a bar D, which is connected by pairs of parallel links C, C' to a bracket B formed on a stem A. A spring bolt E, which can be released by a thumb-piece E<1>, locks the bar D to the top of the stem A. On releasing the bolt E, the bar D can be lowered and held in its lowered position by engaging a catch K with a projection L on the bracket B. The rider, on mounting, depresses the saddle slightly, and thus allows the catch K to spring away from the projection L. On rising in the saddle, a spring G returns the bar D to its normal position. The links C, C<1> are arranged to come just past the vertical, so that the rider's weight tends to force the bar D into engagement with the bolt E. The end of the bar D is bevelled to fit between lugs F, F, Fig. 4, on the stem A.

Patent GB-190313189-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Friction-gearing.
Inventor: BERGLUND ROBERT OTTO PERCIVAL
Filed: 1903-06-12
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 13,189. Berglund, R. O. P., and Hesselman, B. O. V. June 12. Friction gearing. -Motion is transmitted from the shaft a, through the friction-wheels b, mounted on the casing c, to the sleeve d. Round the shaft is a spiral spring e, one end of which bears against the lug g on the shaft. A guide-collar h is, preferably, placed on the shaft inside the free end of the spring. When the shaft rotates, it carries with it the end of the spring, and will cause the spring to expand and press against the wheels b with a force which increases with the rate of revolution. To increase the friction between the friction-wheels and the spring, the outer ends of the wheels may be tapered, and a ring with a conical edge may be attached to the spring to engage with the tapered ends of the wheels, or the end of the spring itself may be formed into such a ring. The ends of the wheels will be tapered inwards or outwards according as the expansion of the spring tends to shift the wheels outwards or inwards, which depends upon the direction in which the spring is wound. In the form shown in Fig. 5, two springs e, e<1> are attached to a ring f engaging with grooves in the friction-wheels. Each spring engages with a lug g, g<1> so that one spring will be brought into action in each direction of rotation. By making the sleeve d stationary, the motion may be communicated to the casing c.
Patent GB-190321500-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Inhaler for Administering Anaesthetics.
Inventor: LOBJOIS JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-10-06
Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 21,500. Lobjois, J. Oct. 6. luhalers.-Aninhaler for administering anµsthetics consists of a metal angle-piece c, Fig. 1, to the horizontal arm of which a celluloid face-piece a, with a pneumatic pad b, is attached. The upper vertical arm has a removable cap so that a tube of ethyl chloride may be inserted. The nozzle of the ethyl chloride tube rests in a hole d in a cross-bar carried by the tube e, which may be rotated in the anglepiece by the handle f. A bar g pivoted, to the cross-bar and to a bracket h serves to break the tube when the inner tube e is rotated. A strainer l catches the broken glass, and allows the anaesthetic to run through to cottonwool in the cage m, which is secured by a bayonet joint and to which a rubber bag n is attached. The face-piece is applied to the patient, and after three or four inhalations of air through the apertures i, the lever f is operated to close the air openings and smash the tube, so that the patient breathes air from the bag n, saturated with anµthetic. By turning the handle, the air apertures may be re-opened. In a modified form, shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the lever f serves only to break the nozzle, there being no air inlet in the tube e. The angle-piece carries two sleeves v, o, with an operating-handle p and a valved outlet s. The sleeve v has an opening r, corresponding with an opening in the angle-piece so that the patient may breathe from the atmosphere. In another position, a hole in the inner sleeve o is opposite a hole in the inner cylinder communicating with the gas bag, which may contain nitrous oxide. The patient breathes in from the gas bag, and exhales through the valve s. The sleeve may be so turned that the holes u on the sleeve, and w on the inner cylinder, communicate, so that the patient breathes both from and into the gas bag, the valve s being closed by the depending piece x, on the sleeve. The ethyl chloride may be liberated by operating the handle f when the sleeves are in position for communication with the gas bag. The handle f may be arranged merely to open an ethyl chloride tube instead of smashing it.
Patent GB-190326379-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Black Sulphur Dyes
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-12-02
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 26,379. Johnson, G. W., [Kalle & Co.]. Dec. 2. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphuretted dyes, which dye cotton black, are produced by fusing diamines of the benzene series with a nitrophenol derivative and with relatively small quantities of sulphur and sodium sulphide or a polysulphide. Apparently indamine or indophenol-like bodies are formed first. Azo compounds produced from o-nitrophenol and easily volatilized amines, give similar results, the azo compound being first broken up. A mixture of adiamidophenoland nitroamidophenol suitable for this process, may also be produced by the interaction of 2 : 4 : 1-dinitrophenol and small amounts of sulphur and sodium sulphide. In one example, p-phenylenediamine and a-nitrophenol are heated to a temperature not exceeding 160‹ C. with sulphur and sodium sulphide, the melt being finally diluted, and acidified to separate the dye. In another example, benzeneazo o-nitrophenol is added to a hot solution of sulphur and sodium sulphide ; aniline distils off, and the dye partly separates out. In another example, the sodium salt of dinitrophenol (OH : NO2 : NO2 = 1 : 2 : 4), is added to a boiling solution of sodium tetrasulphide, a similar dye being produced.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Lock Bolts for Doors and the like.
Inventor: TIETZSCH EMIL
Filed: 1903-12-11
Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 27,165. Tietzsch, E. Dec. 11. Locks, key; sliding bolts.-The bolt is held back by the bar i engaging the slot e in the bolt and is released when the door closes. The bar i is connected to the rod m which is pressed upwards by the spring n. On the top of the rod, projecting above the door a, is the roller o adapted to engage the pivoted cam q let into the door frame p. If the bolt is to remain out of action, the cam q is held out of the path of the roller o by the hook s. When the hook s is raised, the cam falls, and the spring bolt r is pushed above it, preventing it from rising when struck by the roller o. The bolt r bears against the stop u. If, when the cam q is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the door is closed, the roller o, rod m, and bar i are depressed, allowing the bolt to be shot by the spring h. The spring catch k, which lies on the bar i, then occupies the recess c in the bolt. If now the bolt is drawn back by the key g engaging the nose f, the catch k slips into the recess d and holds back the bolt. On opening the door, the bar i again enters the slot e.

Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1904-01-08
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 541. Mills, B. J. B., [Zwoyer Fuel Co.]. Jan. 8. Moving-beater apparatus.-Pulverulent materials, such as coal dust, culm, minerals, rare earths, &c., are mixed with a binding-medium, prior to moulding or briquetting, by feeding them from a hopper F, Fig. 1, over a roller G, and into a chamber A through which pass the hot gases from a furnace H. The bed of the chamber is hollow and provided with rotary agitators C having lips b to pick up the material and feed it towards the exit D. The liquid or powdered binding-medium is forced by a rotary pump M from a tank K to an atomizer L supplied also with steam and bent at its lower end to deflect and break up the stream. The mixture is finally discharged by paddles E through the opening D. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, the material falls from an oscillating tray N and meets an upward current of the binding-medium, the mixture being withdrawn by a screw O. More furnaces of either form may be combined in a series.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Photographic Hand Cameras
Inventor: MCKELLEN SAMUEL DUNSEITH
Filed: 1904-03-04
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 5327. McKellen, S. D. March 4. Cameras; shutters.- Relates to a camera in which the focus is adjusted by means of an inclined mirror, and also to a shutter. In the diagram, the mirror d, pivoted at x, is normally horizontal under the action of the spring-controlled lever h. By pulling down the bar b which slides in a groove, the mirror can be made with the help of the pivoted catch i to rest upon the inclined board a<1> at an angle of 45‹. This catch can be released by either of the pins k, l. The former is used for instantaneous and the latter for time exposures. The mirror is connected to the shutter g by a strap c. This shutter is pivoted at v, and is pulled across the aperture e when the mirror is brought down. When the mirror rises, under the action of the lever h, it engages with the pin f on the shutter, and replaces the shutter so as to cover the aperture e again. If the mirror is prevented from rising to its full extent by the pin l, a time exposure can be obtained. In a modification, not described in detail, the mirror is not hinged but is caused to drop down at the back instead of rising at the front when the exposure is to be made. A shutter for band cameras is shown in Fig. 6. It consists of two plates a, b pivoted at o. The plate b is held by the catch c in the position shown. On releasing it, the plate b swings under the action of a spring till it engages against the projection q on the plate a, at the same time uncovering the aperture e. The plate b, unless stopped by a time catch, continues its progress, now carrying the plate a with it, and closing the aperture e by the left half of the plate a. In setting the shutter, the rod p is drawn to the right, and the plate b, which alone is directly acted on, engages the projection r on the plate a, thus obtaining the position indicated in Fig. 6.

When the spring becomes heated it curls round, and the free end g lifts the end l of a small lever j, pivoted on a pin k, thereby establishing contact with a terminal screw m and completing an electric circuit, whereby an audible alarm or indicator is operated. The spring e may be governed by an adjusting-screw o, which may be graduated, to set the alarm to act at any particular temperature.
Patent GB-190419163-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cash Registers and Recorders.
Filed: 1904-09-05
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 19,163. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. Sept. 5. Receipts, checking and recording.- In the cash register or recorder shown in vertical and plan sections in Figs. 2 and 3, the amount set by the keys 3 is registered upon the detail paper strip 71, Fig. 3, within the machine, and upon the paper check 58, Fig. 2, which is written upon and inserted in the machine. A portion of the check is severed by the knife 64, and is retained upon the pin file 63 as an additional permanent record. The shanks 6 of the amount keys 3 are square, and have their lower ends bevelled, notched, and guided by the apertured plate 10. Below this plate are the two apertured plates 12, formed with rows of alternately square and round holes 13, 14. The springs 22 normally draw the slides 19, with their stops 20, and the locking-slides 16, into a position with the slides 16 projecting partly over the apertures 13. A. stop for one of the graduated studs 23 formed on one of the four levers 24 is thus formed by the blocking of an aperture 14 by the slide 16 when a key is depressed. When the operating-lever 4 is moved, the lever 24 is moved upwards as fast as the pin 28 will allow, until a stud 23 strikes a plate 16. The lever 24 and the crank arm 24<a> then come to a positive stop, but the crank 26 moves on to its full stroke. The variable movement of the lever 24 imparts proportionate movement to the printing- segments 38, 39. The platen 41 is thrown forwards by the cams 50 and the levers 46. The segmental detent plate 52<a> on the shaft 49 is engaged by the spring pawl 53, which normally occupies a vertical position, to prevent any reverse movement. The cam 54 on the shaft 49 engages the end of the pivoted aligning-lever 55. Each movement of the shaft 27 is communicated to the knife-blade 64, causing it to pass under the blade 65 and sever the voucher end of the check. A pawl-and-ratcbet mechanism effects the feed of the detail strip. Two releasing-arms 81 mounted upon the rock-shaft 82 effect the release of the slides and the keys. The shaft 82 is provided with an external handle to remedy mistakes made in operating the keys.
