Patent GB-190411794-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Padlocks.
Inventor: MARSTON ALBERT
Filed: 1904-05-24
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 11,794. Marston, A., and Mitchell, H. May 24. Padlocks.- Relates to lever padlocks having one or more levers, and especially to those having a sliding shackle B as illustrated. This shackle has a slot b<1>, Figs. 1 and 6, moving over a guide-pin c, and has two stumps b<3>, b<4>. The lower stump b<4> engages the gates d<3>, Fig. 5, of the levers, while the upper stump b<3> engages a gate d<2> cut in one only, or more, of the levers. The levers are pivoted on the guide-pin c. Fig. 1 shows the lock in the fastened position. To prevent picking, the gate d<2>, and the gates of the other levers E, are so filed that, when the shackle is forced forwards by a pick, the stump b<3> contacts with the gate d' before the stump b<4> contacts with the gates of the levers E ; the shackle is thus prevented from being moved forwards sufficiently to support the levers when raised. The invention is applicable to bow padlocks having a sliding bolt, the two stumps being then attached to the bolt.

Abstract: 15,278. Lake, H. H., [Schild, H. E.]. July 25. Rotary disk valves; cooling valves.-Relates to rotary reversing-valves for reversing the direction of flow of air and gases in regenerative furnaces. Fig. 1 shows the valve constructed in duplicate, one controlling the gas flues and the other for the air flues. Each valve is mounted to rotate on a fixed seating-plate 4, Fig. 2, which carries the rotary valve plate 13, revoluble about a pivot 17, and provided with upstanding flanges 16 round each of the three apertures therein and round the periphery to hold water which forms a seal and acts as a cooling-agent. Two of the apertures in the valve plate and the flues in register therewith are connected by a hood 18 dipping into the seal ; the remaining aperture opens into a conducting- pipe 12 leading from a fixed gas chamber 7 carried by brackets 19 from the seating-plate 4. The gas pipe 12 and the hood 18 both rotate with the valve plate 13. The pipe 12 carries a seal 9 for the lower edge of the chamber 7. A valve 11 controls the flow of gas in the usual way. The valves are operated simultaneously by means of hydraulic cylinders 26, Fig. 1, operating through a rack 24. These valves are operated without the usual lifting operation.

Abstract: 23,805. Joors, A. M. J., and MÚrcenier, A. V. J. Nov. 18. Range-finders.-Relates to the type of rangefinders in which two telescopes or sighting vanes, having their axes inclined to one another at a small fixed angle, are used at the ends of a base-line of variable length. The vane 1, the axis of which points in a direction at right-angles to the direction of the base-line, is mounted on a sleeve 4, which carries a series of telescoping tubes 3, to the innermost of which is fixed the vane 2. The sleeve 4 is attached by means of a ball-and-socket joint 7, 8 to a clamp 14 by which the instrument may be fixed to any suitable support. The tube 2 carrying the sights is pivoted to a forked support 22, 24, Fig. 6, and can be adjusted in position by the screws 25. In using the instrument, the object is first observed through the sight 1 ; the telescoping tubes 3 are then adjusted until the object can be seen through the sight 2 ; the distance between the sights, measured on the scale 20, gives the range. In a modification for naval purposes, the instrument is mounted by a ball-andsocket joint and levelled by adjustable pendulum weights. The tubes 3 can also be adjusted in the sleeve 4 by a rack and pinion.

Abstract: 1929. Mills, B. J. B., [Edison, T. A.]. Jan. 25. Measured quantities, delivering. -Rotates to a machine for filling and pressing predetermined quantities of powdered nickel hydrate &c. into small perforated metal tubes, which are afterwards mounted in suitable grids to form electrodes for secondary batteries of the Edison type. A number of the .tubes are gripped side by side between two clamping-blocks 7, Fig. 3, bolted together by bolts 8, and the blocks 7 are then secured in position over the plate 9 by the screw 13. The nickel hydrate is drawn off from the hopper 17 and is transferred to the subdivided hopper 15 leading directly to the tubes by means of the shaft 20, which rotates within the fixed casing 18, Figs. 3 and 12, and contains a number of measuring-pockets 21, Fig. 13. After each i n e r e me n t, the material in the tubes is tamped by means of weighted plungers 29. When the required number of increments of filling-material have been supplied to the tubes, the arm 43, carried by the shaft 44 driven from the shaft 23, strikes the inclined surface 42, thus raising the piece 40 and disengaging it from the fixed bracket 41. The spring 39 then draws forward the rod 37 and throws the driving-belt 35 on to the loose pulley 28, thus stopping the machine. To prevent the machine from overrunning, there is provided a pivoted arm 48, Figs. 6 and 10, which is adapted to engage with a stop 49 carried by the wheel 24. As the rod 37 moves forward, the collar 50 is disengaged from the arm 48, and allows the latter to fall into the path of the stop 49.

Abstract: 3573. Krupp Akt. - Ges. Germaniaw e r f t, F., and K÷rting Akt.-Ges., Geb. Feb. 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, starting in. The cylinders of two- and four-stroke-cycle oil-engines are heated at starting by passing a heating-agent such as hot air or water or steam through or around the combustion chambers. As shown in the Figure, the two-stroke-cycle engine, when working normally, exhausts through the port h, and admits combustible charges through the carburettor or vaporizer a and the inlet pipe q. The charges are first admitted to the crank chamber, and then enter the cylinder through the passage e when the piston c uncovers the port d. When starting, the valves - n, o are closed and the valve p in the pipe l is opened, the engine at the. same time being driven by an electric motor or by some other external means. On the up-stroke of the piston c, air is compressed and slightly heated in the cylinder f. At the end of the following stroke, the air escapes through the port g and enters a heater i containing electric resistances k, the outlet m of the heater communicating with the crank chamber b through the vaporizer a and port q. The hot air, after leaving the heater, is admitted to the crank chamber and passes to the cylinder at intervals through the side passage e, the cycle of operations being repeated until the engine is sufficiently heated to run in the ordinary way. If preferred, the air in the cylinder may be exhausted into the atmosphere at each out-stroke, fresh air then being used in the heater ; or hot air may be forced through the cylinder jacket' by means of a fan. If the cylinders are water-cooled, the jackets are preferably emptied when starting.
