Patent GB-190505294-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Appliances for Cage Lifts.
Inventor: HINDLE JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1905-03-14
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 5294. Hindle, J. H. March 14. Safety suspending - apparatus. - Relates to the method of operating the safety grips, which may be of any suitable construction. The suspending-ropes B are passed round V-grooved pulleys D, and are fastened in any suitable way at the bottom of the cage. Springs G are mounted so as to tend to rotate the pulleys D, this being prevented normally by the friction of the ropes. If the friction is diminished owing to the suspending-rope breaking or stretching unduly, the pulleys are rotated, and the grips I are brought into action through the medium of the ropes H. To enable the mechanism to be re-set, the part K, to which the springs G and rope H are secured, is not made integral with the pulley, but is connected to it by free-wheel mechanism of any type, the preferred construction being shown in Fig. 2. Steel balls C are placed in recesses in a steel disk L fixed to the pulley, the inner faces of the recesses being slightly inclined. The part K fits round the circumference of the disk L, and a cap M prevents the balls from falling out.

Title: An Improved Either Side Brake for Railway Wagons.
Inventor: THOMAS JOHN
Filed: 1905-03-17
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 5607. Thomas, J. March 17. Brakes.-Either-side railway-wagon brakes are applied by a lever g, secured to the rocking shaft d and actuated by levers s<1> at either side and opposite ends, one of which is fitted with a catch to hold the brakes off. The lever g has pivoted to it a pawl l, Figs. 4 and 5, to engage a rack c. which may have stops v, v<1>, secured to the usual bracket a. The pawl has a downward projection m to engage a circular boss n on a stud j, working in a slot k in the lever g and secured to a second lever i, which is pivoted to the arm g at h. A pair of links o, o' working in guides o<2> connect the lever i with the arms on the hand-lever shafts, one of which extends across the carriage. The arrangement is such that, on the hand-lever s<1> being raised to release the brakes, the stud j is pushed along the slot and raises the pawl out of engagement, as shown in Fig. 5, with the rack, indicated' by dotted lines. The brakes are held off by a pawl u, Fig. 1, engaging a notched circular plate t on the shaft q<1>, the pawl having a tail u<1> to limit its movement. To apply the brakes, the handle s' is jerked upwards, so that a projection on the plate disengages the pawl, and the handle is brought sharply down before the pawl falls, thus pulling over the levers i, g, till the brakes are set when they are held by the pawl l engaging the rack c.

Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 7723. Larsson, D. April 13, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cartridge - loading machines and apparatus.- Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 an elevation. The devices for inserting percussion caps, filling the cases, and putting in the projectiles are all actuated by a slide 12, which is caused to reciprocate by an arm 14 and a rocking axle 15 engaging a forked projection 13 of the slide 12. The axle 15 is rocked by means of a handle 16. The cases are inserted through an opening 17 into recesses formed in a drum 3 rotated with a step-by-step motion by its pawl-and-ratchet connexion with the axle 4, which is turned backwards and forwards by a pin 11 on the slide engaging with a slotted arm fixed to the lower end of the axle 4. The bottom percussion cap in a vertical cylinder 20 is pressed out by a spring into a hole formed in a rib 21 of the slide 12, and is carried under the case in the position b, where it is forced into the case by a plunger 24 actuated by a lever 26 pivoted to the slide 12. The lever 26 is actuated by the forked arms 29 on the rocking axle 15 engaging a pin 30 on an arm 28, which is pivoted to the lever 27, and so pulling down the arm 28 on to the lever 26 and also drawing down the lever 27 for actuating the projectile-rammer. The powder-charge holder 35 is carried between arms 33, 34 fixed on a vertical axle 31 which is turned backwards and forwards to move the charge-holder 35 between the delivery opening of the hopper 37 and the opening over the case in position c. The axle 31 is actuated by a pin on the slide 12 working in a slot of an arm on the axle. A projectile is delivered from the frame 42 by the spring slides 43, 44 into the case in the position d, and pressed in by the rammer 49, carried by an arm 48 on the vertically-moving rod 46, which is actuated by the oscillating lever 27 engaging the projection 50. For filling powder into cases already fitted with percussion caps, there is provided a flange 52 with a hole 53 through which the powder can be delivered into the case, the position of the arms 33, 34 and charge-holder 35 on the axle 31 being suitably adjusted. A similar flange is provided for inserting the projectiles.

Title: Improvements in Glass Melting Furnaces.
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM PIKE
Filed: 1905-07-29
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 15,560. Gibbons, W. P., and Masters, R. July 29. Glass furnaces.- Relates to glassmelting furnaces and consists i n providing means whereby the existing circular pot furnaces may be heated by producer gas, and in such a way that the heat supplied to any of the pot chambers may be controlled i n d e - pendently. If desired, the improvements may be applied to other types of pot furnaces having one or more pots. In applying the invention to the existing circular pot furnace 1, Fig. 1, any convenient number of pot chambers 11, each adapted to hold two pots such as 4, are arranged within the furnace setting. A gasproducer 32 below the ground level communicates by way of damper-controlled radial passages such as 36, with gas passages such as 27, which communicate with combustion chambers 19 beneath the pots. Air for combustion enters at inlets 52, passes through passages 49, 50 and through zigzag passages 47 in the gas arch to the combustion chamber 19. The hot gases pass around the pots and escape through the uptakes 55 to the glass tower. The gas-producer may be entirely separate from the glass furnace, in which case gas is led from a central flue to the radial passages. Fig. 7 shows a furnace with one melting-pot heated by gas from a producer 32. Gas escapes from the producer through passages 30 into the combustion chamber 19. Air is supplied to the combustion chamber from passages in the walls and arch of the producer. Air from an independent set of passages 63 in the arch of the combustion chamber may mix with the gases as they escape from the combustion chamber 19 to the pot chamber 61. Zigzag passages 76, 77 lead from the pot chamber 61 to the tube 78 leading to the chimney. If desired, the zigzag passages in the arches of the combustion and pot chambers shown in Fig. 7 may be applied to the furnace shown in Fig. 1. In the melting-pot furnace shown in Fig. 13, two pots 62 are arranged in each chamber. The producer 32 communicates with a gas flue 27. The latter has passages leading to a combustion chamber 19 which communicates with the pot chambers. Air enters passages 87, and after passing through zigzag passages surrounding the gas flue 27 escapes to the combustion chamber 19.

Abstract: 29,125. Coombs, J. A. Dec. 21. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-In a compressedair ejector apparatus for raising sewage &c. without back-rush past the inlet and outlet valves, the sewage entars the reservoir h by the pipe p and leaves by the pipe q. When the reservoir is full, the liquid raises the float r and operates the first pilot valve i by levers, as shown. This valve is kept supplied with compressed air through a pipe l, and distributes it by pipes e<1> to piston-actuated sluice valves a, a<*>. When the reservoir is full, the inlet valve a is thus closed. A rod g on this valve in its descent operates a second pilot valve k also kept supplied with compressed air by the pipe l. This valve supplies compressed air (1) to the sluice valve a<*> to raise it by means of a pipe, and (2) to a valve j by means of the pipe m<1>. The valve supplies the reservoir h with compressed air which then acts to eject the liquid. When this is done, a weight at the bottom of the reservoir reverses the valve i and the discharge valve a<*> is closed. A rod g on the valve a<*> reverses the valve k to reverse the valve and open the inlet valve a to complete the cycle. Air may be compressed in a reservoir, such as h, for use in raising sewage as above described. The inlet and outlet valves are of the sluice kind, and are provided with an inclined face d<2> and with wedges d<1> engaging with wedges a<2> in the casing, which is shaped as shown at a<1> and a<3> to prevent the lodgment of dirt.
