Abstract: 13.788. Newell, A. V., and Smith, G. B. June 18. Signals on engines; contacts, electric.-The locomotive carries apparatus to strike an obstacle on the track and to give a signal on the engine according to the position of the obstacle, which may be moved laterally by wires from the cabin. The obstacle a has, preferably, inclined end faces on which the wheel on the lever b<1> runs when the engine reaches the obstacle, and so lifts the lever b<1>, which is controlled by the spring s, and the plunger o'. This plunger closes the switch d' e<1> in the circuit from the battery g to the lamp f<1>, and is locked in its raised position by the spring bolt h' engaging under its shoulder. The bolt h<1> may be withdrawn by closing the switch k and so engaging the magnet m<1>, or may, if desired, be withdrawn by mechanical means. When the bolt is withdrawn, the plunger o<1> falls under the action of the spring c<1>, and the lamp signal f<1> is extinguished. Two plungers may be arranged side by side on the engine, so that the obstacle may operate one of them in either of its two positions, but cannot operate both at once. One battery and switch may then serve for both signal circuits, separate lamps of different colours and separate locking-apparatus being used. The obstacle a may be moved either by signal wires or by pneumatic or hydraulic power, the valves being electrically controlled, or it may be moved by electromagnets. The striking-mechanism may be lifted to an inoperative position when not required. The Provisional Specification states that the obstacle on the permanent way may close one of two contacts and so indicate its position to the operator in the cabin.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Ironing Machines.
Inventor: WHITAKER RONALD GEORGE
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 17,576. Whitaker, R. G. Aug. 12. Ironing-machines.-The movement in either direction of the guard over the roller causes, through the action of levers and a spring, the release of the driving-clutch and the stoppage of the machine. The clutch Z is moved by the rod D which, though free to slide horizontally, has only a slight vertical rocking motion. The rod is moved by means of the handle F, and the spring E, when in its normal position, prevents the clutch from engaging. When the rod is in its other position and the spring is compressed, a stud d<1> on the rod engages with the fixed bracket d', to release which and stop the machine the rod D must receive a slight upward motion. The guard A mounted over the roller X is connected with the lever G, which itself is attached to another lever H capable of motion about a fixed axis h. The motion of the guard in either direction results in the raising of the rod D and the consequent release of the clutch Z, since the ends of both levers G, H rest under the rod D.

Conveyers.-A portable conveyer comprises a number of sections which can be readily put together, a motor mounted in a portable frame so that it can be readily connected up to one of the sections, and a special construction of conveyer chain including lubricating-arrangements therefor. Fig. 1 shows one of the sections with the motor attached, and Fig. 8 one of the side frames in cross-section. Each section comprises two side frames A', A<2> braced together, bearings e formed in castings at one end being adapted to engage sleeve journals m on castings at the opposite end of the next section. The conveyer chains run over sprocket-wheels on shafts i, n, the shaft n being mounted in the journals m, and the chains of one section are driven from the next by chain gearing y connecting the adjacent shafts i, n. Each conveyer chain, Figs. 8 and 10, consists of rings B<2> and links B' engaging hooks s on the rings. In each pair of rings B' is secured a tube C, formed at the ends with soft-metal bearings t for a shaft D, and thus constituting an oil reservoir for the lubrication of the bearings t. Rollers E on the ends of the shafts D run in the channel-irons a, b forming the top and bottom members of the side frame, and the chain is thus guided throughout its run. The electric motor F is mounted in a frame 18, one end of which is supported by wheels 17, while the other end is connected by split bearings to journals on the ends of a casing 30 pivoted on a sleeve projecting from the end casting 23. The casing 30 contains bevel gearing connecting a shaft 36, geared to the motor shaft, with a shaft gearing with the shaft i and mounted in the sleeve on which the casing 30 is pivoted. The motor frame 18 is thus capable of angular adjustment in two directions with regard to the conveyer. The motor frame is fitted with handles 21, which, when required for moving the frame, are swung forward and secured in sockets 22 by pins 22<a>. In a modification, Fig. 15, the motor F' is carried in a frame mounted on a shaft 50 parallel with the shaft i and gearing therewith, and rests on a spherical support 52. Readily-detachable split bearings e connecting the different sections are described, and also similar bearings connecting the motor frame to the conveyer.

Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 18,728. Temple, R. Aug. 30. Rock drills.-A pneumatic tool, such as a rock drill, is reciprocated by means of two" pul- "sating" pistons i, j, Fig. 1, connected to a driven crank shaft p, the compressed air in the system being " pulsated " to reciprocate the tool instead of being exhausted after each stoke. The upper sides of the pulsating pistons communicate through pipes m, n with the opposite sides of a piston in a cylinder b, the piston-rod e carrying the tool. The piston has an annular surface k which compresses air during the return stroke of the tool and forces it into the crank chamber r, which constitutes a reservoir. One or both of the pulsating pistons have non-return valves 13 to admit compressed air to the system. The pipe n is connected to the tool cylinder by a hollow plug cock 22, which, in the position shown, only allows communication between the upper end of the tool cylinder and the pipe, but, when turned to either of two other positions, allows air to pass from the end of the cylinder in which the pressure is greatest to the other end, through one or other of the passages 34, 35, which have oppositely-facing non-return valves.
