Abstract: 8540. Boult, A. J., [Bradley, W. H.]. Nov. 24, 1908. Peat, preparing.-Apparatus for getting and treating peat consists of a suction excavator carried by a swinging arm on a scow, a macerator for grinding the mixture of peat and water delivered by the excavator, and a centrifugal apparatus for removing the water; a settling-tank for removing sand, shells, marl, &c., a mixing-appliance, and a vacuum tank for removing air and gases may be added. The peat is delivered in condition to be dried by ordinary apparatus. Fig. 2 shows in section the suction head of the excavator, comprising rotary cutters 9 within a casing 7. The casing is formed in two parts adjustably connected by a slot and nut, to enable the size of the aperture and the amount of water taken in to be varied. This head is connected by a tube 6 with a pump in the scow, and removes a mixture of peat and water at each upward sweep of the swinging arm which carries it. The mixture is pumped into a settling-tank, and passes thence to a mixing-tank having a number of tapered outlets at the bottom leading to a common discharge pipe. It is next macerated in the apparatus shown in section in Fig. 6, having fixed and rotary corrugated grinding- surfaces 17, 20, and an annular outlet with a spout 19. The resulting finely-divided peat suspended in water is received in a closed tank, and passes, through an exit controlled by a float valve, to an exhausted vessel, in which air and gases are removed. After a drop of 34 feet or more to a closed tank, the material is delivered to a centrifugal separator. This comprises a rotary conical drum, in sections, containing radial and curved vertical blades, an horizontal distributor plate, and a central supply pipe. The peat becomes massed together at the outside, and is removed at the top by a fixed scraper, the water being discharged below. The spindle of this machine passes through a self-adjusting ball-bearing, held in place by springs and supported on a second ball-bearing. Valves may be provided for regulating the supply to the centrifugal apparatus, and a pressure gauge and escape valve in case of a stoppage. An elevator may convey the moist peat to a drying-apparatus. Specification 25,300/08, [Class 23, Centrifugal drying &c.], is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 29/69, 2714/73, 5036/91, 7077/00, [Class 68, Hydraulic engineering], 3215/01, and 21,321/06.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Block Signalling Systems.
Inventor: HANSEN HANS THEODORE
IPC: B61L3/22
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 25,129. Hansen, H. T. Nov. 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Electrical systems, automatic; wireless systems; track apparatus for stopping trains and actuating signals on trains.-Relates to block signalling systems in which cab signals are set at danger when a train enters a block immediately in the rear of an occupied block, and consists in providing means whereby the train continues to receive a danger signal even though entering the occupied block itself. The invention is described with reference to a system utilizing Hertzian waves, in which the rails A<1>, B<1>, A<2>, B<2> and A<3>, B<3> of blocks 1, 2 and 3 respectively are insulated from one another, and the rails of each block are connected to battery terminals, and to the terminals of relays C<1>, C<2> which control circuits c<1>, c<2> containing magnets D<1>, D<2> and sources of current, the circuits being normally closed. Extending on one side of the track are wave-wires F<1>, F<2>, overlapping as shown, while on the other side at the ends of the blocks are short wave-wires G<1>, G<2>. These wires are connected to induction coils or other wave-generators E<1>, E<2> through the armatures of the magnets D<1>, D<2> in the circuits of the relays of the next sections to the rear. The oscillations are of such strength that the zone of the wire F<1> does not overlap the zone of the wire G<1>. The engine apparatus consists of a coherer H affected only by wires F<1>, F<2> controlling the circuit of a magnet or solenoid H<1>, preferably through a relay, and a similar coherer I affected only by wires G<1>, G<2> controlling the circuit of a magnet I<1>. The armature h of the magnet H<1> is connected to a pivoted lever H<2> attached at one end to the signalling- device and having at the other end a portion h' with a projection h<3> adapted to engage with a catch i<1> on the pivoted spring-controlled armature i of the magnet I<1>. A train on block 2 will de-energize magnets C<2>, D<2> and the wires F<1>. G<1>, so that a following train will have its coherer H de-energized, allowing the armature h to fall to move the signalling-device into the danger position. At the same time, the piece h<2> rises and the projection h<3> is caught by the catch i<1>, thus locking the signal at danger. If the second train reaches the entrance to block 2 before the first has left it, the circuit of its magnet H' will be restored, but the armature, being locked, will hold the signal at danger. If however the first train has cleared block 3 before the second enters block 2, the magnet I' will also be energized to unlock the armature, and the signal will return to safety. The lever H' may control a whistle or visual signal or the air-brake and throttle in any known way.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Couplings.
Inventor: BREDEMEYER HERMANN
IPC: B61G1/08
Filed: 1911-03-22
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 7224. Bredemeyer, H., and Dettmer, J. March 22. Couplings, automatic.-Couplings of the kind in which hooks or claws ride over guides mounted eccentrically and engage spindles, are operated and tightened from the side of the vehicle. The hook m is pivoted on the shaft d with a limited amount of movement controlled by the feather m and sector-shaped slot. It is also capable of slight transverse movement to avoid cross-binding. A projection q engages with a tail r on the hook to keep it horizontal for coupling. The guide o is integral with an eccentric spindle or boss p with which the opposite hook engages. The tightening is due to two actions: (1) the rotation of the disks f, integral with the shaft d give the latter a longitudinal motion in the slot c; (2) the spindle p, being eccentric, increases the effect. In uncoupling, the first motion of the shaft d slackens the coupling, then the hooks are rotated, one by the feather m, and the other by the guide o. The gear may be readily attached to the ordinary drawhook.
