Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 18,132. Cowdy, S. H. P. Sept. 7. Sanding rails.-In a sanding-device for preventing skidding in tramcars, motor-cars, locomotives, and the like, sand is fed intermittently from hoppers a into discharge pipes g by means of rotating cylinders c, which are mounted in casings b and provided with chambers c'. The cylinders c are connected by a shaft d which is driven from the wheel axle i by a belt or band k working upon pulleys d<1>, e. The sanding-gear is rendered inactive by shifting the band k off the pulley e, which is, for this purpose, formed with an inwardly-turned portion e<2>, Fig. 5, on one of its flanges, the band k being pulled on to the part e<2> by a spring m which is connected to the cranked end l of a rod l<1>, the band k passing through an eye at the end of the crank l. By the depression of a pedal f in connexion with the rod l<1>, the band k is made to enter the groove of the pulley e by an outwardly-turned portion e<1>, Fig. 5. The band is prevented from moving too far from the pulley e by a guard n. In modifications, the apparatus may be driven from other parts of the car mechanism, or by hand or foot ; also, the cylinders c may be reciprocated instead of being completely revolved. According to the Provisional Specification, the apparatus may be worked by a coiled spring which is wound up at intervals.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Hammers.
Inventor: KING THOMAS SCOTT
Filed: 1905-11-14
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 23,435. King, T. S., and Norris, W. Nov. 14. Fluid-pressure hammers.-In a pneumatic hammer, compressed air is first admitted beneath the piston to raise the hammer, and then passes to the upper surface of the piston to deliver the blow. The tup f, Fig. 1, has two piston parts of different diameters working in cylinders e, d. The compressed air, which is distributed by a valve k, is first admitted beneath tho piston g by a passage h. When the valve is raised to the position shown in Fig. 2, the air passes from below the piston g by the passage h, through the centre of the valve k, through ports in the valve, and ports z in the liner to the port u leading to the upper surface of the piston g. A heavier blow is given by raising the valve k still further, so that the compressed air passage o is uncovered and air passed through ports in the liner, the groove t round the valve and the port x in the liner, and enters the cylinder d by the usual exhaust port v. To raise the hammer again, the valve is lowered so that the port v is connected to the exhaust passage p through the port x, the groove t, and the ports w. In the modified valvs shown in Fig. 5, no arrangement is made for the admission of air direct to the upper end of the cylinder d. The admission port o is placed below the exhaust port p. The valve shown in Fig. 10 is in two parts 2, 3, and is shown in position for a heavy blow. For an ordinary blow, air passes from the lower end of the hammer cylinder by the port 13 and the interior of the valve 3 to the port u. When the valve is raised as shown, the port 8 is uncovered and admits compressed air direct to the upper end of the cylinder. The Provisional Specification describes also a distributing value working in a chamber communicating directly with the air supply.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Manufacturing Fire-lighters.
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1907-03-23
Abstract: 4448. Helliwell, R. B., and Patent Fuse Firelighter Co. Feb. 23. Moulding fire-lighters.-Apparatus for making fire-lighters is shown in which a column of alternate dies and lighters is forced forward by a reciprocating ram, the moulded lighters being dipped, and the dies circulated through the machine. The fire-lighters, which may consist of naphthalene and sawdust or chips, and be dipped in naphthalene, may be of double-V form, as described in Specification No. 4448A, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Fuel &c.]. Material is fed from steam-jacketed mixing-vessels 2, Fig. 1, by a hopper and flexible shoot 35 to a feed inlet box 36, which is reciprocated across a duct 8 during each return stroke of a ram 5. The inlet box 36 is part of a frame 4, Fig. 4, which covers the duct while the ram makes its in-stroke. Dies drop from a container 6 and are returned along inclined rails 30, Fig. 1, by the aid of a conveyer 32. The ram is actuated from a shaft 13 by a crank and connecting-rod, the crankpin brasses being held during the in-stroke by a pin which yields if the ram becomes jammed. Reciprocation of the feed inlet box 36 is effected by a bell-crank lever 26, Fig. 4, connected to a notched rod 27, Fig. 5, engaging a pin on a pivoted lever 23 rocked by the actuating-shaft 13. A roller 29 on the rocking lever disengages the notched rod 27 when the ram advances, causing the feed inlet box 36 to be stationary during compression. A bar 37, Fig. 1, retains the column of dies and lighters in place, and carries scrapers for removing surplus material. A hammer device 39 disengages the dies and lighters, the latter subsequently being carried by a band 49 through molten naphthalene and on to a packing-belt. The naphthalene tank 41 and its supply tank 42 are heated by steam coils 46, 47, and the duct 8 also bas a cavity for steam-heating. Several moulding-devices are preferably arranged to be driven from a common shaft 13.

Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 19,068. R³denberg, R. Aug. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Oscillations, producing and amplifying.-For producing sustained high-frequency oscillatory currents, coreless commutator dynamos of a direct-current type are used, having a series characteristic, that is : machines of which the electromotive force is proportional to the current. The machine d, Fig. 1, may be conductively coupled to the vibratory circuit c, or it may be inductively coupled, as shown in Fig. 2, where the shortcircuited brushes of the commutator machine are displaced relatively to the neutral axis, as in a repulsion motor. The conductors of the machine are laminated, and inductive connectors are used between the armature and commutator to minimize the induced currents in the short-circuited coils. The armature and field cores may be made of a non-magnetic insulator or of powdered iron mixed with an insulator, which substance also covers the outside of the field coils to increase the field strength. The coils embrace the armature so as to leave a minimum air-gap between them. By connecting an aerial wire to the circuit c, Fig. 2, and including say a bolometer, the arrangement may be used as a receiver, in which case the incoming waves are amplified by those supplied by the generator.

Title: Improvements in Reversing Valve Gear for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: WEGNER FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1907-09-27
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 21,485. Wegner, F. Feb. 21, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Reversing - gearing. - In reversing- gear for internal-combustion engines and explosion motors of the type employing a valve-operating cam shaft b which turns in the same direction during both forward and backward running, the change being effected by the operation of a lever o which moves a sliding clutch-piece d from engagement with a bevel-wheel g into engagement with a second wheel h, to obtain a reversal during running, an auxiliary gear l, m, n is provided. The shaft c drives the shafts a, k, the frictionwheels l, m being slidable to bring either the one or the other into engagement with the wheel n. With the part d in the position shown, the wheel g and shaft u are driven direct. The lever o is connected to a link s which carries rollers t bearing upon a cam rail r pivoted at q, so that movement of the lever to the position o<1> effects the following changes. The clutch-piece dis first moved from engagement with the wheel g, but owing to the sliding of the wheels l, m to bring the wheels l, n into gear, the wheel g continues to be driven in the same direction. In the middle position of the lever the friction-wheels are disengaged and neither wheel g nor h is driven. Further movement of the lever, however, brings the wheels m, n into gear, so that the wheel h is set rotating in the reverse direction ready to be caught up by the clutch-piece when the lever reaches its extreme position. The friction-wheels are then again clear and the shaft u is driven in the reverse direction. The charge of starting air will then flow into the cylinder in such a manner that the motor is braked and brought to rest, after which it begins to run backwards and the cam shaft assumes its original direction of rotation.
