Title: Improvements in Shaft Couplings
Inventor: SINCLAIR DUNCAN SPENCER
Filed: 1903-11-30
Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 26,163. Sinclair, D. S. Nov. 30. Shaft couplings.-Tapered split sleeves C are placed on the ends A, B of the shafts to be coupled, and are compressed by screwing together the internally-tapered coupling members D, E. Each sleeve C has two cuts a, b, at right-angles to each other, extending one from each end as shown in Fig. 4. The rotation of the shaft increases the grip of the coupling, the length of the screw thread being such that the parts D, E are not screwed home. To prevent the coupling from unscrewing if the direction of rotation is reversed, a ratchet on the part D is engaged by pawls G acted upon by springs c, held in place by screw plugs f.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Making of Macadamised Roads and the like and in Solutions to be Employed therein.
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD JOHN COPE
Filed: 1904-01-23
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 1776. Butterfield, J. C. Jan. 23. Roads and ways, making; asphalt paving.-Consists in means for producing compact and dustless macadamized or like roads with asphalt surfaces. Texas oil is heated by steam to 180‹ or 190‹ F. and is oxidized and agitated by blowing air through it, whereby the volatile compounds are removed. This is carried out in a steam-heated tank which contains a coil of pipe mounted close to the bottom and perforated with trumpet-shaped holes on its underside. Air is forced through the holes and ascends after striking the bottom of the tank. To the oxidized oil is added a solution of asphalt or pitch in Texas oil or benzol until the mixture contains from 10 to 20 per cent. of asphalt, after which it is agitated again by the air blower. 15 to 20 per cent. of water is then added, with 6 per cent. resin, 4 per cent. olein, 4 per cent. soda, and 10 per cent. of a sodium silicate solution at 120‹ Tw. After 30 minutes' blowing, 1 per cent. of À880 ammonia solution is added, and the blowing continued gently, frothing being avoided. A solution of this emulsified asphalt compound is used in place of water during the making of the road. A solution of sodium silicate, about 28‹ Tw., may be applied directly to the roads instead of mixing it with the asphalt solution. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that a 10 to 20 per cent. solution of calcium chloride is applied to the asphalted surface to react with the sodium silicate.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Billiard Markers and the like.
Inventor: WILDISH HENRY ROBERT
Filed: 1904-12-14
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 27,275. Wildish, H. R. Dec. 14. Scoring and marking; time-checks for games.- Relates to a billiard or like marker, adapted to register the number of games played or the time occupied in playing. Pointers 1, 2, Fig. 1, are at the beginning of the game in vertical slots on turntables 9,10, which are supported by a plate 11 and attached to toothed discs 12. On turning one of the discs through a right-angle to admit the pointers to the slots 3, 4, numbered up to 50, a ratchet-wheel 13 is turned one tooth by the combination, shown in Fig. 1, of a pawl 14, bell-crank lever 15. and rod 16. Attached to the ratchetwheel 13 is a hand 18, shown in the sectional elevation, Fig. 2, moving over a dial 19 which records the number of games of 50 points played. In scoring 100 points, the pointers 1, 2 pass along the slots 6, 7, 22 to the slots 20, 21, which are numbered from 50 to 100. Any backward motion of the pointers along the slots is prevented by detents 5. In the return of the pointers 1, 2 to their initial positions, they encounter turntables 23, 24, which record on the dial 19, as before, the extra 50 points played. The turntables 9, 10 may be locked to the plato 11 by a pin 26, attached to a spring 27, as shown in Fig. 2, the release being effected by the insertion of a key through the hole 28, Fig. 1. For the purpose of recording the time occupied in playing, the rotation of the turntable 2, Fig. 3, starts, by means of a link 16, a clock 29, provided with some suitable start and atop mechanism. The rotation of the turntable 1, may, by means of the mechanism shown in Fig. 3, raise or lower bars 30, lying in the upper undercut portions of the slots 3, 4, 20, 21, and so allow or prevent the entry of the pointers in the slots. The turntables may also be rotated and locked by means of an attached draw-bar protruding from the edge of the marker.

Abstract: 28,151. Jensen, P., [Brown - Winstanley Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 22. Revolving-cylinder type.-An explosion engine of the revolving-cylinder type is shown in Figs. 6 and 9. A rotary frame carries five cylinders 5 containing pistons 6 acting on the crank of a fixed shaft 1. A gas chamber 32 is connected by pipes 24 to valve chambers 14, each containing an admission valve 19 and an exhaust valve 21, the exhaust passing through pipes 33 to a silencer 31. The gear for opening the exhaust valves consists of an eccentric 36 on the shaft adjustable by means of a handle and carrying a loose ring 35. This ring has two diametrically-opposite recesses 38 adapted to receive the ends of the exhaust-valve rods 23, the arrangement being such that the valve of one cylinder enters a recess and the valve remains seated during the explosion, while the next valve is opened by the eccentric ring, and so on alternately. The ecentric ring carries a non-conducting ring 39 with primary-circuit contacts 40 adapted to touch a contact 42 carried by a frame 44 adjustable by a handle 41 and carrying a secondary-circuit contact 45 adapted to touch brushes on the valve casings. The rotation of the eccentric ring by the valverods causes the circuits to be completed for each cylinder which is ready for the explosion. A similar valve gear to the above may be adapted to the admission valves.

The axle of the ratchet-wheel is fitted with a worm in gear with a worm - wheel L which engages with the shaft of a feeding-drum O; this drum connects a supply hopper R with a feed hopper P so that each time the piston is raised, a quantity of fuel is supplied to the hopper P. A clutch is provided to disengage the wheel L from the axle of the drum 0, which may then be rotated by hand. The pipe may, alternatively, be connected with the interior of the generator, or other part of the plant, in which case the ratchet and pawl are reversed, and the spring G is arranged in tension.

Abstract: 14,618. Nuth, G., Hold, H., and Ruegg, H. July 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mononaphthyl-alpha- and #-benzidine sulphonic acids are produced by sulphonating the corresponding naphthyl benzidine with either ordinary or fuming sulphuric acid. In the former case, difficultly soluble products are obtained which can be converted by further sulphonation into the easily soluble products obtained in the latter case. Dyes, artificial.-The naphthyl benzidine sulphonic acids obtained as described above may be diazotized and combined with dye components such as #-naphthol disulphonic acid R, salicylic acid, amidonaphthol disulphonic acid H, or amidonaphthol monosulphonic acid S. Some of the dyes so produced may be combined with diazo, or tetrazo &c. compounds, or may be diazotized and combined with phenols, amines, amidophenols, or their sulphonic or carboxylic acids. When excess of nitrous acid is used in the diazotization, nitrous diazo compounds and dyes are formed. These are converted into ordinary diazo or azo compounds by boiling with acids. This operation may be performed on the fibre,
