Abstract: 3238. Bruhn, F. W. G. Feb. 9. Odometers; fares, registering; counting-apparatus. -A trip' and total-distance odometer for a taxameter is of compact form and indicates large distances. Two series of edge number-wheels, loosely mounted on the same spindle, are driven by an adjustable worm gear through a friction connexion, which allows the taxameter to act in case of stoppage of the odometer. The actuating- spindle f is geared directly to the first wheel k<1> of the total-distance train, this wheel driving the first 'trip' wheel l<4> through a clutch w ; the clutch may, however, be disconnected by a bell-crank lever v movable against a spring. Transferring is effected by pinions m<1>, m<2>, m<3>, n<1>, n<2>, n<3> loosely mounted on the actuating-spindle and having alternate teeth partly cut away. Normally, each pinion is prevented from turning by engagement of two long teeth with the surface of a corresponding numberwheel, which carries two projections, one of which drives a short tooth of the pinion at transfer, a long tooth entering a notch. The pinion gears with teeth on the next wheel, which is advanced a tenth of a revolution. The driving- worm b in the form shown is held on its spindle between a " bell spring" and a nut d<1>, and with its worm,wheel e can be removed and replaced by different ones, for adjusting the indicator for any standard of distance or speed of. the driving-shaft. A ratchet g pre-vents fraudulent backward rotation of the odometer wheels.

Abstract: 20,982. Dorn, R. H. Sept. 21. Mitreing.-A circular mitre box for cutting lumber, moulding, or other timber has a table A mounted on a pivot C, on which two backs or leaves B, B' are separately rotatable by means of rings D, D<1>, Fig. 4. Arms E on the rings' pass tip through openings in the table, the upper surfaces of which provide seats for the leaves and have tongues G passing through slots in the flanges H of the leaves, to which they are fixed by screws a. The leaves are held in any angular position by handoperated levers P held in contact with notches on the underside of the table by springs R, Fig. 4. Openings S are formed in the leaves for the passage of the parts T of stops, which are used to support the rear of half-mouldings of width not greater than that of the table ; the stop proper consists of an inclined flat piece of metal U slotted at one end to pass round the fixing- screw T<1>. These stops slide in circular slots in the table. The rotary table A is fixed in position by a screw N, which forces the stand L, resting by feet M on the bench &c., on to the lip of a bracket O formed on the table. The saw moves in guides i, which are vertically adjustable in guides fixed to the table and can be held in their raised position for the insertion of the work by springs. Injury to the teeth of the saw is prevented by a diametral groove in the table, and the lowest position of the saw is determined by a pair of rests fastened to the framing and engaging the saw back. The upper part of the guide is wide enough to receive the saw back, and the lower part receives the blade. To enable wood to be cut tapered in form and at any required angle and to form triangular, pentagonal, and other shapes, leaves C, C', Fig. 10, are mounted on horizontal pivots E on the leaves B, B', and are held in angular positions in segmental slots by studs and nuts, the leaves having circular lugs D, D' to bear on the table. The wood is held by spring clamps I, I' mounted on pivots J, J<1> and having sharp points at K pressing into the wood, the clamps being kept down by spring catches K<1>. Sharp points N also project up from each leaf C, C<1>. For long work, additional supports L are used and are held up by hinged legs M. The extent of the taper may be varied by moving the leaves B, B<1> on their pivots.

Title: Improvements in Telescopic Masts for Signalling Purposes.
Inventor: SERVE JEAN PIERRE
Filed: 1906-12-05
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 27,732. Serve, J. P. Dec. 6, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Masts.-Hydraulic devices comprising telescopic tubes have been previously used for raising weights and fire-escapes, the areas of the tubes on which the water presses being so arranged as to ensure that the tubes were operated in the desired order, while at the -same time stops were provided to prevent the tubes from closing the water ports on their descent. The present invention rotates to a signalling-mast which can be similarly telescoped into a stationary tube situated beneath the deck of a ship. The bottom of the stationary tube 1 is provided with a nipple 4, through which water isadmitted and exhausted, a similar fluid passage 5 forming part of the cap 6 being provided at the top of the tube. The tube 2 is fitted with a ring 11 and guiding-ribs 12 at its lower end ; further up the tube is a screwed ring 13, a water-tight joint being formed by packing 14. The upward motion of the tube 2 is limited by stops 26. The upper end of the tube is provided with ports 15. The tube 3 is closed at its lower end by a plate 19 forming a piston, and outside is a ring 20 with guide-ribs 21. At a higher level is a ring 22 which abuts against stops 25 at the upper limit of the stroke. To raise the mast, pressure water is admitted at 4 and presses on the underside of the plate 19 and the ring 13. The area of the plate 19 is greater than that of the ring 13, so that the tube 3 is raised first until it strikes the abutments 25; the tube 2 then rises until it reaches the stops 26. During this operation water previously above the piston flows out through the nipple 5. To lower the mast, the nipple 4 is put in communication with the exhaust, and the nipple 5 with the pressure main, whereupon the pressure on the upper side of the ring 13 lowers the tube 2 until the ports 15 come opposite the water chamber 7, when the water enters the ports 15 and, pressing on the upper face of the ring 22, causes the tube 3 to be lowered.

Title: An Improved Method and Means for Actuating Electro-mechanical Fog Signals for Railways.
Inventor: LOWTHIAN GEORGE
IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1907-02-06
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 2973. Lowthian, G. Feb. 6. Collectors; conductors. -A number of conductor rails and a corresponding number of collectors are used to operate signalling- apparatus on the engine as a train approaches the ordinary fixed signals. The auxiliary track rails, called " line bars," are fixed on the track and for a large part of their length are horizontal and slightly higher than the running rails, and are slightly inclined at their ends to minimize the shock due to contact of the engine levers. They are formed with a conductor 64 of steel or copper let into the upper surface of insulating- material 67 supported by blocks 60 of wood bolted to the sleepers. The conductor 64 extends only for a part of the length of the line bar, and is carried down through the latter and connected to the contacts on the lever in the signal cabin. The levers on the engine are pivoted on spindles 36. The block 49 of wood or other material is bolted to the metal shackle 46, which fits over the shaft and is free to rotate thereon but is held against lateral movement by two collars 45<a>. One of these collars has a lug carrying a pin 48 which engages a slot in a lug 47 on the shackle 46 so that the spindle 36 is turned when the runner moves in one direction only. The block 49 carries two slippers 50, which form the electric collectors and are connected by wires to the electro-magnets and indicator on the engine by wires 53 which are coiled round the spindle to allow for rocking of the runner. The forward slipper only makes contact with the line bar. The runners are mounted on each spindle 36 in pairs similarly situated on each side of the centre line of the engine, one of each pair serving to turn the spindle in one diretion. The spindles 36 are provided with oppositely wound spiral springs at the ends for the purpose of returning them to normal position as the runner passes clear of the line bar. The spindles 36 are supported in bearings on plates bolted to the engine frame. If required, the runners may be raised clear of all the line bars by means of the plate 55, which has a number of circular slots in which crank-pins normally move freely, but which, when the plate 55 is moved and fixed in a position to one side of its normal by the lever and nut 56, serve to keep one set of the runners in their raised position, and leave the other set free to rotate idly on the spindle.

Title: An Improved Motor Watering-cart
Inventor: FENGLER HERMANN
Filed: 1907-03-09
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 5752. Fengler, H. March 9. Watering-carts.-A motor - driven watering - cart in which the water is expelled by an air-pump driven by the motor under control of the driver, is fitted with a spraying device which enables any width of road to be sprinkled. The air-pump 8 is driven, at the requisite speed through gearing 6, and the compressed air forces, the water from the tank 10 through the exit pipe 16 to a semicircular. spraying-disk 17, which can be rotated in a casing 18 by means of a handle 12 and chain 14 engaging a sprocket-wheel 15 on the rotating inlet to the disk. Rotation of the disk by a given amount to either side excludes some of the spraying-holes on that side, with the result that the opposite side of the road is left unsprinkled to a corresponding width. The motor may work a pump for filling the tank from a river or pond. The substitution of a hose-pipe for the sprayer enables the machine to be used as a fire-engine. A valve may be placed in the outlet pipe 16.
