Inventor: ARMSTRONG JAMES TARBOTTON
Filed: 1903-03-30
Granted: 1904-06-30
Abstract: 7331. Armstrong, J. T., and Orling, A. March 30. Telegraphs. - R elates to the wireless transmission of signals through air or earth, reference being made to Specification No. 14,219, A.D. 1901. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the transmitting - key l carries an insulated contact-plate m and has a spring-jointed part w, which serves to open a switch k when the key is not in use. When the key is in use, the switch k closes the circuit of the battery x through the electromagnets f, e and contact g, thereby setting the tuning fork b, c in vibration. Every time the key is depressed, the receiver p is disconnected from the earth n at o, the other terminal being permanently connected with the earth at the point q. The contact made at y by the depression of the key closes a circuit comprising the battery z, the inductance coil s, the tuning- fork limb c, the contact u, the point q, the contact y and the wire j<2>, but, owing to the vibration of the tuning-fork, this circuit is being rapidly made and broken while the key is depressed. The discharge from the coil s at each break takes place on the one hand through the wire j<2> and contact y to earth at r, and on the other hand through the wire t and contact plate m to earth at n. The high-frequency vibrations thus transmitted to earth are received through two earth connections at the distant station. A condenser v shunts the contact u. Fig. 2 shows a receiving-instrument consisting of a tuning-fork ax of the same pitch as that at the transmitting-station, and arranged in proximity to an electromagnet 1 connected to two earth plates 5. An adjustable resonator chamber 7 containing liquid 9 is arranged beneath the fork.

Abstract: 17,757. Berry, J., and Berry, F. Aug. 17. Rope grips.-Consists of a clip or grip for cable haulage in collieries &c., and of means for automatically releasing the same. Figs. 1 and 4 show the clip, and Fig. 5 the releaser. Pivoted in a body piece a are jaws e, e<1> the lower ends of which embrace the cable. A top jaw h slides in slots in the piece a. The jaws e, e<1> are weighted so that when free of the cable they open, but when the clip is placed on the rope the jaw h separates the top parts of the jaws e, e<1> enough to allow the thin part of the wedge-shaped cam-lever c, d to enter between them. On then depressing this lever, the edge of the cam engages the inclined top of the jaw h, and its sides the jaws e, e', and all three jaws are thus closed on the cable. The releaser comprises a trough k with a supporting-roller l for the cable, and a pivoted cross-arm n on to which the cam lever c, d passes to be lifted. An incline o on the clip raises the arm n to allow of the passage of the clip, after which the arm drops again to its operative position.

Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 23,483. Hope, G. F. W. Oct. 29. Settling.-In apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 3209, A.D. 1890, for separating sand and other solid materials from water, the sand is caught in a pivotally-mounted receptacle, and the bulk of the surface water passes through a sluice while the remainder passes into a suspended trough as the receptacle begins to tilt for emptying purposes. Fig. 1 is an end elevation of the apparatus. The catch pit c is preferably made of sheet iron or steel, with a flexible bottom d of leather, india-rubber, water-proofed canvas, thin corrugated metal, or the like. It is made of the shape shown, and is provided with a handle e. The mixed sand and water enter the catch pit c from a shoot f, which discharges into channels g having pivoted lips i, the mixture being directed into either of a pair of catch pits by means of a pivoted gate. The water flows away over the sluice k or lip t and is guided into a drain r. The sluice k is raised or lowered by means of the pivoted handle l, working over a guide n, the handle being weighted so as to tend to fly over as the pit rights itself and thus allows the sluice to close. The suspended trough v is connected to the lip t, at the back of which is a perforated or notched plate. The trough is inclined and discharges the water into a channel x, stops w being provided to hold it clear of the falling sand when the pit c is tilted. Any water dripping from the channels g is caught by a trough y leading to the drain r. The tipping of the pit c is controlled by means of a band brake 2, lever 3, and notched arc 5. The sand is discharged into a tank wagon 6 running on rails 7. The pit may be balanced so as to tend to tilt when full and to right itself when empty. The sluice k may be dispensed with, and mechanical means may be employed to effect any of the operations. The Provisional Specification states that means are provided for preventing the catch pit from completely overturning, and that the sluice may be closed by the movement of its lever caused by the shock due to the stopping of the catch pit.
