Title: An Implement for Rolling and Harrowing Land, and Sowing Seeds.
Inventor: RICKERBY JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-07-16
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 15,783. Rickerby, J. July 16. Rollers, land; harrows; seeds, sowing; manuring. -A brush harrow and apparatus for sowing seeds or manures are combined with an ordinary roller. The barrow and sower are placed before or after the roller, or one in front and one behind, the sower being before or after the harrow and above or below the shafts. Pressure may be put upon the harrow by means of a lever, and the sowing- apparatus may be driven from the roller by chain, spur, bevel, or friction gearing. Either the harrow or the sower may be detached or thrown out of work, and the driver may ride or walk. Fig. 1 shows the preferred form of the apparatus. The brush harrow 5 is provided with steel tines 7 and is secured by rods 6, 8, 10, the rods 10 and the plates 9, to which the rods 8 are connected, being perforated to allow of adjustment. The harrow is put in or out of action by means of the lever 13, which is connected to the rods 10 by means of the cranked shaft 11 and is held down, when required, by a hook 14. The spindle of the brush sower 18 is driven by means of the friction drum 24, spurgearing 23, 22, chain-wheel 21, and chain 20, the chain-wheel on the spindle being in a compartment in the centre of the box 18. The spindles of the toothed gearing are carried by movable bearings secured in a bow frame 27 pivoted to a bracket 33, on which is also pivoted a lever 29 for the purpose of raising or lowering the drum 24 out of or into contact with the roller. The lever 29 is connected with the frame 27 by a fork 28 and is provided with a spring catch 31, which engages with a notched segment 32. A scraper 34 is provided to clear the path of the friction drum, and mechanism may be employed to keep the chain 20 tight.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Cyanides.
Inventor: TCHERNIAC JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-08-11
Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 17,449. Tcherniac, J. Aug. 11. Cyanides.-Relates to modifications of the process for making cyanides, by oxidizing a sulphocyanide and absorbing the hydrocyanic acid evolved, described in Specification No. 17,976, A.D. 1902. The gaseous mixture, preferably after washing with water, is passed over anhydrous sodium sulphate, dry commercial alumina, or other substance which absorbs nitric acid and is practically unaffected by hydrocyanic acid. The hydrocyanic acid is absorbed by an alkaline hydroxide, preferably in thin slices or powder. The hydroxide is heated to a temperature below its melting point but sufficiently high to expel moisture, say 200' C. As the proportion of cyanide therein increases, the temperature of the hydroxide may be raised to 300‹ C., or the temperature may be maintained constant and the hydroxide be broken up or ground.

Title: Improvements in Acetylene Gas Lamps particularly applicable for Motor-driven Road Vehicles.
Inventor: OUVRARD CHARLES CALIXTE
Filed: 1904-02-09
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 3225. Ouvrard, C. C. Feb. 9. Acetylene lamps; reflectors.-Acetylene lamps, which are suitable for motor road vehicles, comprise a gas generator and a light projector. The generator consists of a cylindrical vessel a which is partly surrounded by a wateh reservoir g and contains a carbide cartridge h. The cartridge is traversed by a central tube i which is perforated towards the upper part.

Title: Improvements in Safety Locking Devices for Small Arms.
Inventor: TAMBOUR JOSEPH
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 4685. Tambour, J. Feb. 26. Safety appliances generally applicable.-In small-arms having a safety, which is taken off by a pressing-piece in the stock and is combined with a locking-screw, the locking-lever or the pressing-piece, which acts upon the locking-lever, is constructed with a beakshaped extension, the part of which that engages with the locking-screw is made movable and is controlled by a spring, in order to yield and so prevent jamming if the screw is improperly turned into the locking position while the safetyis pressed into the 'off' position. The spring returns the movable part into position for engaging the screw to block the safety as soon as the pressing- lever is released after the screw has been thus improperly turned. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the cut away screw or bolt k has been turned by means of the ring i into position for blocking the movement of the lever d, when the piece b is pressed in gripping the stock. Should the screw k be turned into the position shown before the lever has returned to its locking position, the pivoted spring-controlled part l yields and permits of the lever swinging over the screw k into the blocked position shown.
