Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 15,930. Jaubert, G. F. Dec. 30, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines, purifying exhaust of. Motors operating in a closed cycle are used for the propulsion of submarine vessels, the exhaust gases being utilized after purification and enrichment with oxygen. The exhaust gases pass from the combustion motor a through pipes b to the silencer c. A three-way cock e permits the exhaust to discharge outside the vessel, when afloat, or into the gas washer, when submerged. The washer is of the plate type, so that a large liquid capacity is avoided. An outlet cock g<1> is provided, by which the gases escape when the purification is not complete, and the pressure in the cycle rises sufficiently to operate the regulator h and by it the cock g<1>. The excess gas is then removed by the pump k. The purified gases pass through the pipe i<2> to the cocks j. The cocks are three-way cocks, and are arranged to use ordinary air in the motor when afloat and the purified exhaust gases when submerged. The oxygen is stored in the tubes l, and passes, by way of the reducing valve m to the reservoir tube n, from which it is fed through the cock o' to the distributing valve p. The fuel is supplied by the pumps r. The exhaust gases may be washed with sea-water, circulated by the pump v, in which case the purification is only partial. Complete purification is effected with an alkaline liquid which, after circulation by the pump v, is discharged into the sea. Specification No. 18,746, A.D. 1901, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Reducing Gear.
Inventor: SCHOEDELIN GASTON
Filed: 1906-08-22
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 18,827. Schoedelin, G., and Schoedelin, F. Oct. 12,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gearing; capstans; cranes; hoists; winches.- Relates to reducing-gearing of the type in which a conical motion is imparted to a universally Controlled toothed wheel which rolls upon a driven element having a different number of teeth. The driving shaft 1 passes through the driven wheel 8, and an inclined extension 2 of that shaft is a sliding fit in the hub of the driving-wheel 3. The wheel 3 is supported by vertical diametral pivots 4 upon a ring 5 which is itself mounted upon fixed horizontal diametral pivots 6. The wheel 3 is thus kept from rotating about its axis and held in mesh with the wheel 8. Rotation of the shaft 1 causes the gear surface of the wheel 3 to roll on that of the wheel 8, imparting a differential motion to the latter proportional to the difference in the numbers of teeth on the wheels. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also a modification in which the driving- shaft is continued on both sides of its inclined portion, and a modification in which the driving- shaft does not pass through the driven element. Mention is also made of the application of the invention to lifting-appliances such as winches, hoists, cranes, and capstans, and as gearing for electric motors. This subject - matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Machines for making; bristles, fixing. - Several drilled brush stocks c, Fig. 1, which may be of different shapes and sizes, are held back or uppermost in a vertically adjustable frame a, and are filled with bristles by tubes p (one only of which is shown) and stamps q. The tubes are mounted on a sliding frame n, and are pressed down by a screw r and springs t into a mass of closely packed bristles k, held between perforated plates l, g. The stamps then follow, and push home the bristles which are guided up to the stock by the tubes p. The back of the stock is then coated with glue, which fills the conical orifices d and serves also to retain a cover. In a modification, Fig. 4, partly bored tubes p are used, and the bristles, coated with adhesive at the lower end, are guided through holes u in plate g to the stock which is held up by another plate a, both plates being shaped to receive the stock. The tubes p and stamps q may be rotated in both directions alternately by a vertically reciprocating plate which engages screwthreaded parts at their upper ends. Where pointed brushes are required, a pointed stamp q, Fig. 7, is used, giving the effect shown. By providing one of the frames, Fig. 5, with pointed rods v, blanks c may be marked out for drilling. To maintain the solidity of the mass of bristles in the box k, its sides, or plates or bars in the box, are pressed together by weight or springs. The weights may be attached to cords passing over pulleys on pins projecting from the plates or bars.

Abstract: 29,072. Brown, H. G. Dec. 20. Semaphore signals.-Electrically-operated semaphore signals are driven by a motor through an epicyclic gearing. The motor 9, Fig. 1, through a worm and wheel drives one of a pair of bevelwheels 1, 2 gearing with an intermediate bevelwheel 4 carried on the shaft 5 at right-angles to the shaft 3. The other wheel 2 carries stops 13 engaging with an abutment 14 moved in and out of operative position by an electro-magnet 15 connected in parallel with the driving-motor. A number of stops 13 may be arranged on the wheel 2, far enough apart to allow the motor to attain full speed before the stop engages the abutment 14. The wheel 2 is then stopped, and the pinion 4 causes the shaft 5 to rotate about the shaft 3 and set the signal to clear. An extension of the shaft 5 carries contacts 8, 21 to break the motor circuit when the signal is moved to its desired position. Fig. 5 shows the arrangement for a three-position signal. The contact 8, 19 in the motor circuit is broken when the signal is at 'caution' and the contact 21, 22 is made, so that when the switch 20 is closed, either manually or by a relay magnet, the motor circuit is again completed and the signal driven to 'clear.' The circuit of the abutment magnet 15 is controlled only by the main switch 17, which may be controlled by a train contact or otherwise.
