Abstract: 4080. Imray, O., [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Feb. 27. Drilling.- Rotary rock drills having means for automatically regulating the feed of the drill embody devices similar to those described in Specifications No. 24,084, A.D. 1893, and No. 4028, A.D. 1898. A feed-screw s, provided with a drill socket d and rotated by means o f a feathered collar p driven by bevel gearing a, b, works in a split nut m provided with a sleeve h which carries rigidly one part g of a friction coupling, the other part o being attached to a pinion w mounted loosely on the sleeve h and driven by means of differential gearing t, u, v. The conical surfaces of the coupling are pressed together by a spring f, one end of which bears against the part o and the other against an annular shoulder n on the sleeve h. The effective pressure between the parts o, g of the coupling is the resultant of the pressure of the spring f and the opposing pressure of the drill spindle against the rock, and, when the spindle pressure becomes excessive, slipping between the parts of the coupling takes place, and the forward feed of the drill is reduced. A multiple-disk coupling may replace the conical coupling described above, and in some cases the drill may be driven by coupling a motor directly to the shaft y. When applied to diamond drilling, the feedscrew may be made hollow

Title: Automatic Block Signal System for Electric Railways.
Inventor: JOHNSTON GRAY WASHINGTON
Filed: 1906-04-24
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 9556. Johnston, G. W., and Ackermann, A. H. April 25, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Automatic systems; lamp signals.-In an automatic block signal system for use on electric railways, 'danger,' 'caution,' and safety' signals are used. At the entrance to each block, the trollywire or line conductor has electrically connected with it a contact-strip 2<a>, 2<b>, &c. Opposite each of these strips is a contact strip 3<a>, 3<b>, &c., the pairs of strip being momentarily connected by the trolly wheel or shoe as the car enters the section. All the circuits involved in the working of the apparatus are to be traced between the line conductor 1 and earth. A 'safety' signal is given by the lighting of two green lamps 6, 7 or by corresponding semaphores, a 'caution' signal is given by the lighting of a green lamp 6 and a yellow lamp 8, and a 'danger' signal is given by the lighting of a yellow lamp 8 and a red lamp 9. The diagram shows a car in the section C, the 'danger ' signal being given at the entrance to that section, and the 'caution' signal at the entrance to the preceding section B. When the car enters the section D, it connects the contact. strips 2<d>, 3<d>, and sends current to earth through the polarized relays 20 at the signal controlling the section D, and at the signal controlling the section C. This throws over the contact-tongues 23, 24 at D to the right, and at C to the left. At D the result is to extinguish the lamps 6, 7 which received current from the line conductor 1 through the wires 33, 27 respectively, to light the lamps 8, 9, and to break the circuit of the electro-magnet 30 at C, which has previously received current through the contact-tongue 24 and wire 34, and thereby to provide an alternative path for the current at C to the yellow lamp 8. The effect of throwing over the contact tongues 23, 24 at C(1) is to extinguish the red lamp 9 (the yellow lamp 8 being supplied with current through the aforesaid alternative route) and to light the green lamp 6, and (2) to close the circuit of the electro-magnet 30 at B and thereby to extinguish the yellow lamp at that point and light the green one. In this way, as the car advances, it leaves a danger signal immediately behind it, converts the preceding signal from 'danger' to 'caution,' and the signal behind that from 'caution' to 'safety.'
