Patent GB-190800155-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electromagnetically Operated Regulating or Switching Apparatus.
Inventor: RENNERT OTTO
Filed: 1908-01-02
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 155. Rennert, O. Jan. 2. Controlling automatically.-Consists of an electromagnetic regulating or switching apparatus operating upon changes of temperature and under control of a contact clock to work a valve or the starting- switch of a ventilator. In the arrangement shown, the spindle of a valve carries a disk i having, on each half circumference, oppositely-directed teeth engaged by pawl levers k, k<1> acted on by electromagnets e, e'. The disk i is provided with a pin m, which in its end positions breaks spring-contacts n, n<1>. These contacts are connected to the contacts o, o' of magnets p, p<1> and to the switch wheel q of a contact clock r which closes the circuit at definite intervals. By means of the contact thermometer t, when the temperature exceeds a certain limit, the electro-magnet p is energized and attracts its armature, which engages the screw o. When the clockwork r closes the circuit, the electro-magnet u is energized and attracts its armature v, thus closing the circuit through the electro-magnet l. The latter then attracts the pawl lever k and causes the disk i to be rotated for one tooth space so as partly to close the valve. This operation is repeated at intervals when the clock-work r closes the circuit until the mercury in the thermometer t falls below the upper contact or until the pin m breaks the spring-contact n, when the valve is no longer acted upon. If the mercury falls below the lower contact, the electro-magnet p<1> is de-energized, and the contact o<1> closed. The switch-wheel q then closing the circuit, the electro-magnet u<1> is energized and closes the circuit through the electro-magnet l<1>, thus attracting the lever k<1> and rotating the disk i so as to open the valve. In a modification of the apparatus for regulating an electrically-driven ventilator fan, the disk i is connected to the switch lever of a starting-resistance. When the temperature is below the required value, the switch lever stands over the switching-off contact and the apparatus is at rest. When, owing to the rise of temperature, the mercury reaches the contact wires the switch lever is moved forwards at intervals regulated by the clock, thus gradually increasing the fan current. If the temperature falls, the switch lever is rotated in the reverse direction, thus gradually cutting out the current.

Title: Improvements in Steam-steering Machinery.
Inventor: PATTERSON JAMES
Filed: 1908-01-30
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 2089. Patterson, J. Jan. 30. Steering-engines.-In steam steering-engines in which a small amount of movement is allowed between the engine controlling-valve A and the hunting gear, a cam - and - tappet gear is used to insure that the valve completely closes the ports. As shown in Fig. 1, the valve is fixed on a sleeve A<1> feather-keyed to, and sliding between, collars B' on a rod B connected to the hunting gear. When the hunting gear has brought the valve within the limits of the free movement, a tappet or tappets C', pressed by springs, weights, or fluid pressure, enter cam grooves C in the sleeve and centra the valve. With hunting gear in which an eccentric E, Fig. 3, is the member which moves the valve-rod A', a small amount of free motion is allowed between the eccentric and the sides of a cross-head to which the valve-rod is fixed, and the cam-grooves are cut in the bearing-faces of the cross-head.

Title: An Improved Electric Railway System for Collecting and Delivering Mail.
Inventor: MOZINGO WILLIAM HARVEY
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 12,411. Mozingo, W. H. June 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Locomotive railway vehicles.-Mails are forwarded by electrically propelled carriers travelling on elevated tracks formed of piping or cables, the cars being automatically stopped from the line at predetermined points for the removal or loading of mail bags. Figs. 1 and 2 show side and end elevations respectively of a carrier, and Fig. 5 an end view of one form of elevated track. The track consists of an upper and lower rail 5 carried by brackets from the supports 2, 3 or the post 1. Mounted on one side of the track is a conductor 6, from which the propelling current is taken by a collector 32. The carriers comprise a supporting- plate 9, upon which is journaled the main driving- wheel 10, driven from the electric motor 11, and an idle roller 29. Pivotally secured to the plate 9 are four arms carrying the guide-wheels 13, 14 arranged to run on the underside of the tracks 5. The inner ends of the arms are formed with a longitudinal slot 16,in which engages a pin 17 fast on a plate 18 carried by a rod 19 able to move vertically in the brackets 20, 21. A spring 22 normally keeps the plate down, thus causing the wheels to grip the rails. The rod 19 is formed with hook fingers 23, with which engages pins 24 on a plate 25 pivoted at 26 to the plate 9. The plate 25 carries at its upper end an eye 27, in which is pivotally mounted a plate 28. This eye is in the path of brackets 7, arranged along the track at the points where it is desired to stop the carriers. The collector 32 is pivoted to the plate 9 so as to move under the action of a spring at right-angles to the plane of the tracks 5. Attached to the collecting- wheel is a rod 33 having a hooked end 34 so arranged that, when the eye 27 is engaged by the hook 7 to lift the rod 19 and thus reduce the grip of the wheels, the bracket 2 will engage the hook and pull the collector away from the conductor. In order that the rebound of the carriage at its sudden stoppage may not throw it off the bracket 7, the plate 28 is provided which on the rebound catches the projection 8 and locks the carriage from further movement. A suitable casing 37, shown in broken lines in Fig. 2, protects the working parts and from this casing the mail sacks are hung. The catch hooks 7 and the eyes may be so arranged as to be operative only at predetermined stations.
