Title: Improvements in the Mode and Means for Locking or Securing the Doors of Railway Trains.
Inventor: TANDY GEORGE
Filed: 1898-07-12
Granted: 1899-01-07
Abstract: 15,267. Tandy, G. July 12. Locks and fastenings, railway-carriage door.- Relates to means for locking the doors of railway carriages simultaneously from the guard's van. A rod or tube B is mounted on adjustable brackets b<1>, b<2> on each side of each carriage throughout the train, the rods of adjacent carriages being connected by the coupling shown in Fig. 6.

The coupling shown in Fig. 6 consists of two forked pieces H, which are connected together by a pin h<3>, and are pivoted to the rods J, fixed by the cottar pins j<6>, collar j<3>, and set-screws j<4> in the ends of the tubes B.
Patent GB-189815600-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Alarm Locks.
Inventor: CASE EDWARD NEWELL
Filed: 1898-07-16
Granted: 1898-09-03
Abstract: 15,600. Case, E. N. July 16. Locks, key.-An alarm lock for trunks, chests, boxes, sliding doors, &c. is adapted to explode a cartridge or sound a similar alarm when the lock is tampered with. The lock is shown as applied to a trunk, a hasp portion B, Fig. 1, shown turned down, being pivoted to a bracket E on the body, and carrying the lock mechanism in a case C. Fig. 2 shows a rear view of the case C with the cover-plate D removed. A key-actuated cylinder 4, Figs. 2 and 8, with a slot 13 to receive the keybit, has a disc 3 with a stump 8, which traverses slots 20 in spring levers r, when these are operated by the proper key. The rotation of the cylinder brings a T-piece 10, Fig. 1, on its inner end into alignment with a slot 15 in the striking- plate A, and allows the hasp to be turned down as shown. The operation of the lock by the proper key has no effect on the firing-mechanism. The cylinder must be turned to the locking position before the key can be removed. A pin 6 on the disc 3 engages the hammer boss i to limit the rotation of the cylinder. The firing- hammer a is pivoted at i, and is operated by a spring d, the cartridge &c. being placed in a barrel l and held by a pivoted plate or breech-block p. The hammer is set by a finger-piece n and held by a pin o on a crank lever t engaging a lug e on the hammer boss. A pin u on the crank lever passes through slots in the spring levers r, arranged to allow the latter to move correctly without touching the pin. Should one lever be moved too far by a false key, the crank lever is disengaged from the lug e and the hammer falls, the firing-pin m striking the cartridge and sounding an alarm without releasing the lock mechanism. To give an alarm when the trunk &c. is being forced, the case C and hasp B are connected by a yielding connection such as the rod I and spring F. A second rod w on the hasp passes into the case C and has a pin v engaging the tail of the crank lever. On force being applied to open the lid, the resulting relative movement between hasp and case operates the crank lever and releases the firing-mechanism. The alarm mechanism may be applied to any suitable lock mechanism.

Granted: 1899-08-22
Abstract: 18,038. Everett, J. F., and Kirkman, A. Aug. 22. Wheels with air-compressing appliances; tyres, pneumatic.- Relates to means for inflating a pneumatic tyre by the motion of the vehicle. The rim i receives a canvas-covered metallic band e against which rests a compressible air chamber f open to the external atmosphere at one end q, and at the other end leading through a back-pressure valve r and pipe t to the air tube h. Between the air chamber f and the air tube h is a canvas-covered metallic band g, of which one end is free and the other is connected to a sheath u through which the pipe t passes. A rubber cushion u may be employed, and a canvas cover o may enclose the various parts. The invention is applicable to double-tube and to single-tube tyres.

One of the spindles d<2> may be extended into the feed-hopper, to carry arms for stirring the feed.
Patent GB-189823539-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Machine for Automatically Making Screw Capsules with Internal Thread.
Inventor: RICHTER GUSTAV
Filed: 1898-11-08
Granted: 1898-12-17
Abstract: 23,539. Richter, G. Nov. 8. Screwing; stamping.-Relates to an automatic machine for making internallyscrewed metal caps for bottles &c. The blanks are fed in succession from the hopper b<1> in front of the stamp E mounted on the sliding carrier D. The stamp is first advanced by the lever H, which is actuated through the connecting-rod G by an eccentric on the shaft F, until the stamp and blank enter the matrix B, the stamp and matrix acting in conjunction to shape the cap and form it with an internal screw-thread. The stamp is then further advanced to force the cap into the second matrix B<1>, which shapes the top and forms the milled edge. The carrier D is next retracted, leaving the stamp in position, while the matrix B' is rotated by its carrier N, through the bevel gearing n, n<1> from an automatic clutch on the shaft o, to release the cap from the stamp, after which the stamp and carrier are moved back together for the next operation. The finished cap is pushed out of the matrix B<1> by the rod Q under the action of the cam q, the arm q<1> of which is engaged by the eccentric pin r on the shaft F. The stamp may be rotated instead of the matrix B<1>, to release the stamp from the cap, or the stamp and cap may be rotated in opposite directions.

Granted: 1902-02-06
Abstract: 2732. Kelland, J., and Lawry, H. Feb. 8. Brakes; handles. -Relates to handlever mechanism for applying the brakes of cycles, motor cars, and the like ; and to connections between the hand-levers and the brakes. Fig. 1 shows the band-lever and its accompanying mechanism, and Fig. 7 a portion of the brake gear actuated by the lever. The lever a contains within its forked head, which is pivoted to the bracket d, the forked tumbler e which normally rests upon the camshaped boss b of the bracket d. Friction rollers are provided at e<1>, b<1> and the tumbler is provided with a screw holding-pin g. The brake wire f is carried over the forked back of the tum. bler and passed between the tumbler and the screw, and is there secured so that, on a depression of the lever, the tumbler is pulled round the boss and the wire strained. The threaded arm h is grooved throughout so that the wire may be passed into the groove and kept in place by the sleeve nut i which is also formed with a groove or slot i<1>. Similarly, the collar k is slotted. By turning the sleeve and collar so that the slots coincide with the groove in the arm h, the wire can be removed. The wire is threaded with beads, rings, or ferrules which extend to the bridge o, Fig. 7, of the brake arms where are situated the slotted sleeve m and the grooved arm n. On depressing the lever handle, the brake spindle p is raised against the pressure of the spring and the brake applied. Slackness of the wire is taken up by screwing out the sleeves i, m. Owing to the small range of movement of the hand-lever, a second lever may be placed opposite it on the same bar for operation by the same hand.
