Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 28,806. Jottrand, F. Dec. 29. Welding.-Pipes and tubes are butt - welded longitudinally by heating the joint above and below by oxyhydrogen or similar blowpipes and hammering as soon as a bead of melted metal appears. The pipes are bent so that the edges of the butt joint press together, and the expansion of the metal due to the heat increases the pressure and aids the welding. Apparatus for carrying this out consists of screwed standards 1, Fig. 5, carrying adjustable supports 4 for joists 2 on which the work 36 is supported. A carriage 8 moves along a joist 7 held between cross-pieces 5, and carries a blowpipe 10 and an anvil 11. The blowpipe is carried on a horizontal support 12 rotated by an arm 15 on a shaft 16. The latter carries a pinion 18 engaging a rack 19, to which the anvil is fixed, and another pinion 20 which itself engages the other rack 21. Thus, by the shaft 16 being twisted, the blowpipe may be swung out of position and the anvil raised for hammering. As the carriage 8 penetrates into the tube, rods 27 are connected to the shaft 16, and so the operation may be continued whatever be the length of the tube. A blowpipe 35 for heating the external portion of the tube is carried by a carriage 34, operated by hand and running on a joist 32.

Patent GB-190608650-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Multi-colour Printing Machines
Inventor: WHITEMAN WILLIAM THOMAS
Filed: 1906-04-10
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 8650. Whiteman, W. T., [Aluminum Press Co.]. April 10. Printing in several colours.-Flat-bed or rotary machines for printing in several colours are fitted with impression-cylinder tripping-devices of the type causing automatic tripping &c. of the second cylinder after the first has been tripped. The respective tripping- mechanisms may also work independently. The first cylinder 1 is normally alternately tripped and untripped by a pawl 37, which is loose on the shaft 16 and which is caused to reciprocate preferably through a half revolution by a cam-operated segment 29 and gear 33. The pawl engages a notched plate fixed to the shaft 16, and thus turns eccentrics which through connecting-rods lower the cylinder. On the backward motion of the pawl carrier, it engages with a projection 39 on the notched plate, and thus trips the cylinder. If it is desired that the cylinder should remain tripped, a treadle 50 is depressed, and through parts 48, 47, 46, 45 causes a " trip " disk or mask loose on the boss of the shaft bearing to turn so that a projecting portion lifts the pawl 37 by the spring-pressed catch 43, and causes it to miss the notch in the notched plate. The radius of oscillation of the catch 43 with the pawl in this raised position is such that near the end of its stroke it engages with a projection 56 on the rocking lever 60, and by means of a rod 61 with tappets 62, and a lever 63, the trip disk or mask of the tripping-mechanism of the second cylinder 5, which is identical with the mechanism of the first cylinder, is caused to trip the second cylinder at such time as will cause it to miss the corresponding impression to that missed by the first cylinder. When the stop 50, which may be held down by a catch 53, is released, the pawl 37 again actuates the notched plate, and untrips the cylinder 1. Near the end of its stroke, the catch 43 passes, and is. pressed in against the action of a spring, by an inclined part 67 on the lever 60, and on the return motion it engages with the underside of the part 67 and lifts it, thus causing the second cylinder 5 to be untripped at the correct time. In order to actuate the second tripping- mechanism independently of the first, a second treadle 73 is provided, which in its middle position, as shown, is inoperative. If depressed, it causes a plate 70 by means of a projection 69 to actuate the trip disk and prevent the actuation of the pawl, at the same time, by means of a sloping slot, moving the bar 61 with stops 62 sideways out of engagement with the lever 63 thus preventing the automatic actuation of the second trip gear. In a similar manner, when the pedal 73 is fully raised, a stop 71 presses the projection 69 downwards, and allows the cylinder 5 to be untripped ; at the same time by means of an oppositely inclined extension of the slot in the plate 84 the stops 62 are again moved sideways.

Title: Improvements in Turbines
Inventor: JOHNSON WILLIAM BURGELAND
Filed: 1906-05-26
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 12,290. Johnson, W. B. May 26. Elastic fluid turbines.-Relates to reversible turbines of that type in which loose rings of vanes are used, which may be connected alternately to the drum and casing. Blades of the shape shown in Fig. 4 are secured to rings 2, 3, 4, 5, Fig. 3, by wire bindings 19 which pass through holes in the lower parts of the vanes and rest between projections formed in the upper parts. The rings are formed with overlapping flanges 7, which act as shrouds. Intermediate overlapping rings 14 are provided. The drum is fitted with projecting rings 9, and similar rings 11 are fitted to the casing. Suitable teeth or the like are provided to ensure a secure frictional grip between the rings of blades and the fixed projections. The connexion of the blades to the fixed projections is effected by the fluid pressure. When the flow of motive fluid is reversed, the rings of vanes are shifted axially, the blades become guides, and vice versa. The general arrangement is shown in Fig. 1, two inlet ports 12 and one exhaust port 20 being provided. When the fluid is flowing to the right, the exhaust passes back through the interior of the drum. During the first half of the flow, the fluid is prevented by the rings 14 from expanding to the full capacity of the blades, but during the second half of the flow the fluid can pass between the rings 14. Constant expansion is thus allowed for. This action is shown by the arrows in Fig 1.

Title: Improvements in Cycle and like Coaster Hubs with Back Pedalling Brake Mechanism.
Filed: 1906-08-01
Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 17,335. Pugh, J. V., Pountney, F., and Rudge- Whitworth, Ltd. Aug. 1. Brakes; driving - mechanism.-In coaster hubs with back-pedalling brakes, a cylindrical cage k, Fig. 3, carrying an engaging member or members on its outer surface, is mounted on an extension c of the chain-ring. The motion of the chain-ring is transmitted to the cage by projections n on the extension c engaging in grooves m in the cage, the grooves being sufficiently wide to allow a small amount of relative movement. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the cage carries the positive free-wheel clutch members b and engages with the brake rollers e, those rollers being forced into operation against the brake ring g by cam-surfaces on the extension c. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 6, forward driving is effected by spring-pressed pawls t mounted on the cage k, braking-pawls u also on the cage being moved against spring pressure into engagement with stops r on the split brake ring g, by the projections n on the extension c ; or the braking-pawls may be mounted on this extension and held inoperative by a stop fixed on the cage k, a spring forcing the pawl outwards on back-pedalling. In a further modification, the arrangement described with reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is used in combination with a Weston brake, the brakerollers e turning a sleeve 25, Fig. 7, which by means of a screw-thread gives the necessary end movement to the brake, a spring 31 releasing the brake after action. In all these arrangements, neither set of engaging members is in gear when coasting, the friction between the rotating hub and the driving- members balancing that between the brake ring and the braking-members. On back-wheeling, as the hub becomes the driving-element to the chain-ring, the play between the cage and the chain-ring allows the brake members to remain inoperative.

Abstract: 2 2 , 1 7 7. Fairweather, W., [Finnigan, G. P.]. Oct. 8. Motors.-A reciprocating motor for operating railway switches, signals, the cell contacts of storage batteries and the like consists of a number of similar solenoids B, B<1>, Fig. 1, provided with stationary cores C and movable cores D sliding in sleeves E and connected to a shaft I by friction clutches, pawls and ratchets, or the like. The cores D have extensions F which engage a rocking lever G. One form of friction clutch comprises a disk K, Fig. 2, fixed to the shaft I, a strap L surrounding the disk and having an offset l, a dog M within the offset engaging with the disk and connected to the core D by a lever N. Springs n tend to keep the cores D in engagement with the lever G. On the outward movement of a core, its dog M enters the recess in the offset l of its strap so as not to grip the disk K, but, when the core moves inwardly, the dog slides upwards on the curved surface of the recess, gripping and rotating the disk. The solenoids are energized alternately from a battery T, Fig. 4, through a change-over switch Q, and have main coils B<2>, B<3> and demagnetizing- coils B<4>, B<5>, the main coil of one solenoid and the demagnetizing-coil of the other solenoid being in multiple with one another and in series with one of the magnets P, P' of the change-over switch. The object of the demagnetizing-coils is to eliminate the residual magnetism of the solenoid, the main coil circuit of which has just been broken. The circuit through the battery T is controlled by a switch U, which is operated by a relay magnet W from a push-button w. The armature W<1> of the relay magnet is provided with a projection W<2> which is adapted to enter recesses X in a disk X<1> on the shaft I when the magnet W is de-energized, breaking the battery circuit and stopping the motor. The cores of the magnets P, P<1> are provided with copper shields.
