Title: Improvements in Vacuum Brakes for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: HARDY WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1901-06-25
Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 12,982. Hardy, W. E. June 25. Brakes, vacuum. Relates to quickaction valves for applying the brakes simultaneously throughout the train. Whenatmospheric air is admitted in sufficient volume to the chamber 7, the disc valve 1 and main valve 2 rise together, until they rest against the projection 4 and ring 3.

Title: Improved Leaves for Kitchen and other Tables.
Inventor: NORVAL JOHN
Filed: 1901-08-26
Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 17,072. Norval, J. Aug. 26. Tables.-Relates to kitchen tables having extra leaves. The table top is supported on brackets b, sufficient space being left underneath to receive the leaves. On pulling out the leaf c, a plate spring o causes the inner end to rise until a groove engages the bead g. The leaf is supported by means of a barj connected by links k to a plate i on a bar g, which is pivoted by a bolt h to the top drawer-rail f. When the bar g is rotated through 90‹, a bellcrank lever l, acted on by an anglepiece p, causes the bar j to rise to the height necessary for supporting the leaves at the level of the table top. In a modified form, Figs. 7 and 8, a long hinge t may be secured to the bar g ; when the bar g is rotated, a curved plate u comes in contact with the plate w, and so raises the hinge, which then is in position to support the leaf.

Title: Improvements in Recording Apparatus for Electrical Currents
Inventor: ZIEGENBERG RUDOLF
Filed: 1901-09-13
Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 18,346. Ziegenberg, R. Sept. 13. Recording electric currents.-In an apparatus for recording continuous current or electric pressure, two straight magnetic pole-pieces a, b are inclined to one another on permanent magnets N, S. The upper pole-piece a has a rounded lower surface, and is wound with a coil in grooves or on the surface. A paper band, not shown, travels continuously, on an endless inking-band, over the lower pole-piece b and parallel supporting-rollers. An iron ball d is held in place magnetically on the paper ; when current passes through the coil, the ball moves along the pole-pieces, across the paper, and marks this. Small straight magnets n may be provided to increase the pressure of the ball on the paper. The upper surface of the lower pole-piece b may be flat or rounded. The inking-band may be dispensed with, by using paper coated with carbon or colouring-matter, which can be marked and afterwards fixed. In a modification, the pole-pieces are inclined or vertical, so that the ball is raised by the effect of the current in the coil.

Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1901-11-26
Granted: 1901-12-31
Abstract: 24,004. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Nov. 26. Rotary machines.-Relates to machines which may be used to print in colours or to perfect, as desired. Fig. 1 shows a machine arranged to perfect, but adapted to print in four colours on one side, or to print in two colours on one side and perfect the other side. The forme-carriers 2, 3 are shown provided each with one forme, which may be of the planographic type.The grippers 9 of the cylinder 7 take the sheet from the feed board 31, and print on one side against the forme on the cylinder 2, and then transfer it to the grippers 16 of the cylinder 10 by which it is printed on the other side against the forme on the cylinder3. Another cylinder 11 is arranged against the cylinder 10, and, when perfecting, transfers the sheet from the cylinder 10 to the delivery apparatus 32, 33. The cylinders 3, 11 are in adjustable bearings 6, 14, so that they may be moved into such positions that either the cylinder 10 or the cylinder 11 may be made to co-operate with the cylinder 3 as impression cylinder. When the cylinder 11 is the impression cylinder, the cylinder 3 is driven in the opposite direction, and the cylinder 10 acts as a sheet transfer cylinder, the sheets being printed on the same side in colours. By providing the cylinders 2, 3 with two formes each, the sheet is printed in four colours, the impression cylinders each retaining the sheets for two impressions. The gearing is so arranged that the cylinder 3 may be driven in either direct.on. Fig. 5 shows another form of machine arranged to print in colours. The forme cylinders 2, 3 co-operate with the impression cylinders 7, 10 respectively, and, when printing in colours, the cylinders are driven in the direction shown by the arrows, the sheet being transferred directly from the grippers 9 to the grippers 40 of the cylinder 10. The sheet is delivered by the grippers 31 of the cylinder 32 and passed to the tapes 33. When the cylinders 3, 10 are to perfect the sheet, they are driven in the opposite directions to those shown, and the sheet is transferred from the grippers 9 by a gripper transfer cylinder 41 to a second set of grippers 16 on the cylinder 10. In this case the sheets are delivered from the cylinder 10 by a switch 50. The gearing is so arranged that the cylinders 3, 10 may be driven in either direction. Any suitable means for operating the grippers, as required, may be employed.
