Title: Improvements in Coal Cutting Machines.
Inventor: WILSON ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1903-12-30
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 28,665. Wilson, A. Dec. 30. Undercutting &c.- Relates to arrangements for guiding and for swinging the jib in coalcutting machines of the chain type. The jib 2 is attached to a grooved pulley 1. One end of a rope 3 is attached to a point 4 on the periphery of the pulley, the other end being wound on the drum 5 usually employed for hauling the machine along the coal face. When the drum is rotated, the first effect is to swing the jib round. When the jib is in the desired position, the pulley is locked by coming against a stop or by a pin which engages a hole in the pulley. Further motion of the drum draws the machine along. The machine is mounted on a skate or skates on one side, and a wheel or wheels on the other. If the ground is too hard for the skate to cut a guide-way for itself, a guide-rail may be provided for the wheels to run in. The height of the machine with relation to the wheels or skates may be adjusted by screw mechanism, the mechanism being detachable so that the skates and wheels may be changed from one side to the other as required ; or the skates may be permanently fixed on both sides, the wheels being changeable from one side to the other, the wheels when in position projecting somewhat below the skate, to which they are attached; or, a wheel may be fixed at the front end of each skate, a skate and wheel being employed at one or both sides of the machine.

Title: An Improvement in Shackles for Coupling Colliery Trams and like Vehicles.
Inventor: WALKER WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-03-14
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 6219. Walker, W. March 14. Couplings, non-automatic.-Relates to a modification of the construction of coupling for corves and the like, described in Specification No. 21,894, A.D. 1903, and provides means whereby the lifting- ring is prevented from riding up the slots in the pin and locking-tongue. The slot e in the tongue d pivoted between the two cheeks b of the pin, has parallel sides at its upper part, but at the lower end is bulged out on the right-hand side. The slots f in the cheeks are similar, except that the bulge is on the left-hand side. The ring g has a cross-pin h of elliptic cross-section, passing through the three slots. On releasing the ring after coupling, it falls into the position shown in Figs. 1 and 5, when the pin h cannot rise up the slots, and thus the tongue is retained by the hook i. On lifting the ring into a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 4, the pin h rides up the slots and disengages the tongue.
Patent GB-190413210-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanical-feed Lubricators.
Filed: 1904-06-11
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 13,210. Albion Motor Car Co., and Murray, T. B. June 11. Lubricators.-In a mechanical-feed lubricator, measured quantities of the lubricant are delivered at intervals by means of a rotating disc D, geared to a toothed wheel D<2> on a driving-shaft D<3> and having one or more holes D'. The disc D rotates on a pin C<1> between upper and lower fixed plates, the latter A<2> being a raised portion of the bed of the tank A with apertures B bored through the bed and bottom of tank leading to a number of oiling-pipes, and with radial slots C midway between the apertures B, lying with the inner ends on the same circle as these apertures and as the hole or holes D<4>. The upper disc E. fixed by a pin E<2> in a lug A' engaging a hole E', or by other means, has a corresponding number of apertures lying immediately above the apertures B and the slots C in the lower plate A'. Stand-pipes G', inserted in the apertures above the oiling-pipe holes B, extend above the surface of the oil in which the discs A', D, E are submerged to provide communication with the air, which may be under pressure. A spring G under an adjustable nut G<1> on the pin C' presses the working discs together. As the middle disc D rotates, the hole D', coming between a slot C in the lower plate A' and an aperture E<3> in the upper plate E, is filled with lubricant, any air in the hole escaping through the aperture E'. Further rotation brings this hole, full of oil, over an aperture B leading to an oiling- pipe B' and below a stand-pipe G<2>, where, under either normal or increased air pressure, the lubricant passes into the oil pipe B<1> and to the part to be lubricated. The supply of lubricant can be regulated by the capacity, position, or number of the feeding hole or holes D<4>, together with the speed of rotation of the disc D. Instead of a rotating disc, a reciprocating plate or bar connected to a crank shaft may be employed, studs serving to guide the plate. The upper plate E may be dispensed with, the stand-pipes G' being supported in position in any other suitable manner.

Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 20,952. Eschellmann, G., Harmuth, A., and Tentelevskago Ximichesk. Zavoda. Sept. 29. Sulphuric anhydride.-An improvement, whereby the temperature is regulated, on the contact apparatus described in Specification No. 11,969, A.D. 1902, is effected by providing the chamber 3 with a cast-iron or other perforated plate 17, supporting a layer of contact material 18, and below which is a narrower part 2 either full of contact material 16, or containing vertical tubes charged with contact material, in either case being protected against loss of heat. The plate 17 should be at least of six times the sectional area of the part 2. As before, the gases are preliminarily heated in a heater 6, they pass through tubes 12, 10, mixing if desired with hot air entering at 11, and are distributed by a perforated plate 15, their temperature being taken by a thermometer 14 placed just above the contact material 18. This temperature should be about 450‹ C., and in consequence of the large surface exposed to radiation no excessive rise in temperature takes place during the process. The gases next pass through the contact material 16, which does not cool below the desired temperature as the chamber 2 is protected against loss of heat. The gases finally are drawn off through the tube 5, any desired proportion being passed back through the heater 6, the rest being removed at 8. A disclaimer is made to the apparatus shown in Specifications Nos. 15,947, 15,948, 15,949, and 15,950, A.D. 1898.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric Arc Lamps.
Filed: 1905-01-04
Abstract: 211. Soc. Leperche et Cie. May 2,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Arc lamps.-A rack 30 on the core 27 of a series solenoid 26 gears with a pinion 38, the shaft of which carries also a pulley 36. A silk or other cord (not shown) attached to the upper carbon-holder passes over a guide-pulley 35 and is wound on the pulley 36. so that the core 27 and upper carbon 12 move in the same direction. Feeding of the carbon is brought about by the descent of the core 27 so far that the rack 30 no longer gears with the pinion 38, whereupon the upper carbon - holder descends by its own weight. A barrel spring 37 on the shaft of the pulley 36 partly balances the weight of the carbonholder, and a helical spring (not shown) may be attached to the core 27 and base-plate 21, for adjustment of the regulation. The diminution in weight of the upper carbon may be compensated by the use of a heavy chain which replaces a part of the cord. In shunt-controlled lamps, the cord is wound in the opposite direction on the pulley 36, a nd the rack 30 is so arranged that it moves out of gear with the pinion 38 only when the core 27 is in its highest position. To the core 27 are attached a guiderod 28 and the piston 32 of a dash-pot. The upper carbon-holder slides in a tube 22, forming the frame of the lamp, and current is conveyed to it by a flexible conductor. A tube 9, insulated from the base-plate 21, is provided with an arm which carries a holder for a globe 8. The lower carbon-holder 3 is also attached to this arm by a bayonet-joint, and is secured by a soring 7 against accidental displacement. A porcelain knob 4 is fixed to the carbonholder.
