Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 7743. McAlpine, W. H. April 3. Portable, contractors' and like railways; rails.-Relates to railway rails for tipping wagons, and consists of a movable rail which can be extended over an embankment so that material can be tipped well over. the side. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a portion of the rail, and Fig. 3 a crosssectional elevation along the line 1-2 of Fig. 1. Each service rail A has a metal box-like rail B placed over it, which is provided with a service rail C. The rail A is continued to the end of the embankment, while about one half of the length of the rail B extends beyond it. Fig. 4 shows the shape of the rails B about the line 3-4 on Fig. 1. The opposite end of this rail is made flush with the service rails by the inclined metal strip C<1>. When the embankment has been filled up and it becomes necessary to move the rail structure B forward, the whole structure is raised until the bearing-blocks D fit on to the axles of the wheels E, when it can be moved along the service rails to the desired position. It is then taken off the wheels E, and is again ready for use.

Granted: 1904-03-24
Abstract: 10,098. M÷bus, T. May 4. Concrete buildings. - Concrete, cement, and like piles are strengthened by inserting longitudinal rods of metal in their bodies. Fig. 1 shows an example, the strengthening- rods b being connected together by cross-strips C, and the outer rods brought together at the point S. A number of suitable forms of cross-strips are described in the Specification. A form of pile is described, having a large central hole and a number of smaller holes extending throughout its length, and, in driving the pile, liquid under pressure is conveyed through the smaller holes, causing the earth to be forced up through the central hole. Piles of great length are constructed by jointing a number of shorter piles by means of iron bands and connecting-rods, and the longitudinal strengthening-rods b are connected in the manner shown in Fig. 5<a>, in which the rods are attached to the sleeve z, fitting adjacent ends, by means of the wedges h. When driving the pile, its head is surrounded, as shown in Fig. 6, by a band l for carrying on the top of the pile layers of lead, wood, and steel, respectively, through which the blow from the driver is transmitted to the pile. The free spaces o between the pile and the band are fitted with elastic material, and lugs n are attached to the band engaging scaffolds for guiding the piles.

Title: Improvements in Sliding Windows for Railway Carriages and the like
Inventor: SCOTT-SNELL CHARLES
Filed: 1904-07-21
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 16,197. Snell, C. Scott-. July 21. W i n d o w s. - Sliding sashes W<1> for railway carriages &c. are counterbalanced by weights W<3> connected to the sash by a web or strap A passing over a roller R. This roller has a polygonal cross-section, the polygon having an uneven number of sides. The angles of the roller serve to prevent the web or strap from slipping, and, as the roller has an uneven number of sides, there will be positions of equilibrium when the roller has one side horizontal. When in such a position, the roller, if slightly displaced, will tend to recover its original position. The window is raised to any desired height by means of a handle attached to it, and is retained by the counterweight W<2> and the roller R.

Abstract: 26,655. O'Connor, T. B. Dec. 7. Dynamometers.-Bridles for racing and other horses are fitted with a device for easing, registering, and indicating the pull of the rider on the reins. The reins F are connected to a ring G swivelling on a rod J, which can slide through a collar K on the bit ring B of the bit A against the pressure of a spring H. The rod has secured to it an anglepiece M, on which is adjustably fixed a bar P carrying a piece S of graphite. When the reins are pulled, the graphite records the extent of the pull on a disc T, which may be graduated with concentric circles as shown. At each pull, the disc T is rotated by a pawl V on a lever a, pivoted to one of the side discs B<1> and linked to the rod P. This lever is connected to a rod or flexible connection c, which runs up a recess in the check strap d and is joined to a cord or wire k, Fig. 2, by means of which a fan r is opened to an extent corresponding to the pull on the reins. The bearings t for the fan are secured to a leather pad u attached to the head strap i. Differently coloured sectors appear successively as the fan is opened out, and indicate the various pulls on the reins during a race. Instead of the fan, a rosette, adapted to show different colours, can be employed.

Abstract: 16,018. Reeser, H. Aug. 4. Incandescent gas &c. lamps.-An alleged new metal obtained from platinum ore is used for making lamp mantles, which are made entirely of the metal or of a fabric of other metal electroplated with the metal. In the process of extraction, platinum ore is freed from iron by means of a magnetic separator and then treated with aqua regia in a water bath. The solution is filtered from the osmium and iridium residue, diluted with distilled water, and then filtered from the precipitated iridium and the platinum precipitated by aqueous ammonia. After filtering again, the solution is evaporated to one-third its volume. Granulated zinc and hydrochloric acid are added and the solution is allowed to stand until the effervescence is ended. The solution is then diluted and filtered from the deposited palladium and ruthenium.' The filtrate is evaporated to half its volume, and cyanide of mercury and ninety-five per cent alcohol added. After standing some hours, the solution is filtered from the precipitated rhodium and evaporated to dryness and calcined, when the desired metal, called X metal, is obtained. The metal is said to be soluble in aqua regia by the hot process only, and to be fusible at 2000‹ C., when it has a clear silvery appearance.
