Title: Apparatus for Operating Railway Switch Points and Signals.
Inventor: JOHNSON ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1905-05-26
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 11,005. Johnson, A. H. May 26. Points and switches. -Railway switch points and signals are operated by electro-hydraulic or electro - pneumatic means. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, an electric motor m, which can be caused to rotate in either direction, transfers mineral oil or other liquid from ore cylinder to the other of a two-ended ram r, the pump or " gear used being of the form shown in Fig. 5. The locking-bar e<11> and the points are worked through the lever e<1> and escapement crank e in the manner shown in Fig. 1. A bypass w, provided with a valve f, shunts the pump p. The valve is held down during the working of the motor by an electro-magnet n, which shunts the motor m. The circuit of the electro-magnet n is broken at i or j as soon as the stroke of the ram is complete, the by-pass being then opened across the pump. The circuit of the electro-magnet is also adapted to be broken at the contact 5 or 6, by means of the small plungers h, h<1>, if the pressure on either side of the valve f should become excessive owing to an obstruction at the points or other cause. Instead of controlling the by-pass valve by an electro-magnet, it may be pressed on to its seat by a spring and be lifted mechanically when the ram reaches the end of the stroke. A piston, diaphragm, or other equivalent device may be used instead of the ram r. The by-pass may be formed in the ram itself.
Patent GB-190512878-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: ANDREWS GEORGE
Filed: 1905-06-21
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 12,878. Andrews, G. June 21. Shutters are released after a predetermined, interval, by a slowlymoving slide operated by clockwork mechanism. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the slide j is actuated by the link which is pivoted to a crank-pin l of a wheel mounted loosely on the driving - spindle e of the clockwork. Fig. 3 shows the position of the parts when the clockwork is wound up. The clockwork is held wound up by the pin engaging the regulating fly g. On release of the pin i by the slide h, the clockwork runs down until the pin m on the spindle e engages and carries with it the pin l, thereby reciprocating the slide j to operate the shutter release a. After passing its lowest position, the slide j is returned to the position shown in dotted lines by the lever a, which is usually upheld by a spring acting upon it. The casing c is suitably attached to the camera or other support. The mechanism may be applied to Bowden-wire releases.

Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 19,209. Lake, H. H., [Aktiebolaget Separator]. Sept. 22. Cream-separators &c. -In order to prevent a separator from running at an increasing speed when the supply of milk diminishes, the steam supply to the turbine driving it is gradually cut off or lessened as the level of the milk in the regulating - cover sinks. In one form of apparatus, Fig. 1, a float d, placed in the regulating- cover or in a vessel c in communication with it, is connected by a rod e with a rotary valve f in the steam-supply pipe. In another form, Fig. 3, the receptacle a of the regulating-cover is suspended at one end of a counterbalanced lever k, which is connected at its other end to the steam valve f. A port i may be formed in the valve f to allow sufficient steam to pass for driving the machine when it is empty.

Title: Improved Means for Driving Bottle Washing Machines and the like; also the connections therefor.
Inventor: COIA DAVIDE
Filed: 1905-11-15
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 23,475. Coia, D. Nov. 15. Cleaning bottles. -The turbine of a bottle-washing machine, especially for use in publichouses, is driven by means of the ordinary water service ; means are also described for automatically controlling the valve admitting liquid to the interior of the bottle. The water from the mains passes from the pipe E, Fig. 1, to the nozzle e<1>, when it impinges on the vanes of the waterwheel C, which thus drives the brush spindle d through pulleys c<2>, b. Water is admitted to the bottle through a by-pass pipe, the valve of which is opened by connexion through levers G, g, g<3> with the shield H adapted to be forced back by the bottle mouth. A spring J ensures the return of the shield and the closing of the valve when the bottle is withdrawn. An independent supply of washing-liquid may be connected to the by-pass pipe, which is accordingly provided with a cock to shut off the water supply. Any washing-liquid, if of sufficient pressure, may be employed in lieu of the water service. A rinsing-appliance which may be used in connexion with the above apparatus consists of a basin L, Fig. 5, in which is mounted a nozzle M having a spring-controlled valve m opened by the pressure of the bottle mouth on the flange of the cap m<2>.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 24,702. Bezault, B. Nov. 29. Sewers; disinfecting. - Relates to means for separating solid matters and for regulating the flow in branch sewers. Surface water enters the man-hole y at and runs down grooves and grate bars b having drips c on their lower sides. The coarser solids fall into a grated tank k or into a settling-chamber i, the finer solids fall off at the corner e, and the liquid either flows down a plate d into a gutter f and pipe g or falls off the drips c. The conduit n may have a sealed partition p, Fig. 5, when to allow the escape of gases a pipe q is provided leading to a chamber r containing a disinfecting-mixture of ferrous sulphate, zinc sulphate, plaster of paris, and charcoal. When the flow exceeds the average, a vertical plate may be attached to the lip of the gutter f. Channels u, v, Fig. 6, communicate with the conduit n. When the flow exceeds a certain amount, it is diverted from the channel u to the channel v by the ascent of a float s which actuates a valve t.

Abstract: 13,789. Cazaux, H. M. Domecq-. June 16, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Safety - valves; alarms. -Relates to air pumps for use on motor-cars &c. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes a combined pressure gauge and regulator, which, when the pump is employed for inflating tyres, is interposed between the pump and the tyre and acts both as a relief valve and an alarm. A cylinder x, communicating by nipples y with the tyre and pump, is fitted with a spring-pressed piston and hollow piston-rod provided with a conical valve r<1>, which is opened when the stem t abuts against the bottom of a threaded sleeve p. The sleeve is adjusted so that at a predetermined pressure, shown by graduations on the outside of the cylinder, the valve r<1> is opened and the compressed air escapes through the bottom of the sleeve, which is formed as a whistle. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: An Improved Machine for use in Chiming, Crozing, and Howelling Barrels.
Inventor: ALLEY CHARLES JOHN
Filed: 1906-08-27
Granted: 1907-08-27
Abstract: 19,142. Alley, C. J. Aug. 27. Wood casks.-A machine for chiming, crozing, and howelling barrels has two end cheeks a joined together by two parallel bars b, upon which are adjustably mounted heads c for supporting anti-friction rollers d. Mounted on the bars at the outside of each head are slide blocks e, which have guide-grooves, in any position in which, according to the width of barrel, may be fixed the overhanging bearings f for the front rollers g. These rollers may be moved farther apart for inserting the barrel by a handle 5, which is pivoted to one of the heads c and is connected by links 6, 7, one on each side of its pivot, to the slides c. The slides are rigidly connected by rods to the tool-carriers o, which are rocked on the rear bar b to bring the rotary tool into action by turning the handle w on the front bar which is grooved at either end to receive feathered eccentrics u, the part a of the tool-carrier having elongated slots to receive the eccentrics and the rods. The barrel may be rotated by forming one of the truss hoops l with teeth and forming the roller d on the shaft h as a pinion, or it may be rotated by chain gearing. To prevent jumping, the barrel is supported at the top at each end by a roller 9 mounted on an adjustable arm 8. To ensure that the cutter head m follows the plane of the truss hoop l, a sliding bar 12 extending across one of the rollers d has a fork 13 to enclose the hoop, and the outer end has a fork 14, between the arms of which, in the working position, engages the extension 16 from the bar 15 which is attached to the cutter spindle n. The belt pulley x is connected to the spindle by a feather.
