Patent GB-190522928-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Air Brakes for Railway and other Vehicles
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR
Filed: 1905-11-08
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 22,928. Turner, W. V., and Farmer, C. C. Nov. 19, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Brakes.-In addition to the ordinary train - pipe 62 on electrically - propelled or other cars, a control pipe line 70 is employed. It is kept constantly supplied with air at the maximum train-pipe pressure from the main reservoir or reservoirs 66 through a reducing valve or valves 71, and it is in communication with the train-pipe 62 through the driver's valve or valves 69 and with all the triple valves 64 of the train through branch connexions 81 in such a manner that, when the triple valves are moved by reduction of pressure in the train-pipe to cause a service application of the brakes, the connexions 81 are shut off and air passes as usual from the auxiliary reservoirs 63 to the brake cylinders 65, but, when the triple valves return to release the brakes, the connexions 81 are opened and allow air from the control pipe 70 to pass to the auxiliary reservoirs, which are thus quickly re-charged. Where there are several motor cars in a train, each equipped with a main reservoir 66, compressor 67, and governor 68, the pipe 70 serves to connect up all the main reservoirs, which are thus all utilized in the operation of the system, all the driver's valves except that on the car from which the brakes are to be operated being turned to lap position. Fig. 2 shows a section of the ordinary triple valve as modified for connexion with the pipe 81 from the control pipe 70. In the release position shown, air from the pipe 81 enters by the additional port 90 in the slide-valve seat and passes to the auxiliary reservoir on the left of the valve casing through a port 89 in the slide valve. On a service application of the brakes, the slide valve moves to the right and closes the port 90, thus shutting off the pipe 81, while air from the auxiliary reservoir passes to the brake cylinder in the usual manner. The pressure in the cylinder may then be graded down by turning the driver's valve momentarily to 'release' and then back to ' lap.' The consequent wave of pressure in the train-pipe moves the triple valve to the release position, and air from the brake cylinder discharges to the atmosphere throuch ports 87, 86, 88, 92 and exhaust port 91 until the air entering from the control pipe through the port 90 moves the graduating slide valve 84 back sufficiently to close the communication between the ports 86, 92, thus stopping the exhaust from the cylinder, and to close also the port 89 and thus prevent further movement of the triple-valve piston.

Title: Improvements in Miners Safety Lamps or the like.
Inventor: HAILWOOD ERNEST ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 7109. Hailwood, E. A. March 24. Miners' safety lamps.-In lamps which have a glass or lens in the top of the bonnet, the said glass or lens is protected by a shutter or shutters and is cleaned by an asbestos or like pad ; the shutters and pads are arranged so as to be operated from outside without opening the lamp. In the form illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, there are two shutters B, B<1 >sliding in grooves C ; the shutters are shown connected together by a bridge-piece B' provided with a button B<5>, but they may be independent of one another. Stops C', B<2> prevent the entire removal of the shutters. The shutters may be formed of segments hinged together as shown at B<3> so that when opened out they may fall flat against the bonnet. Cleaning-pads are arranged at the ends of the shutters and are pressed against the glass by means of springs. The shutters may be brought back to the closed position by springs, or may be locked in the closed position by spring catches. In a modification, hinged flap shutters are used and are actuated by small angle-pieces which may be locked by small swivel catches. In another modification the shutters are disks hinged on a vertical pin at the circumference. In yet another modification an outer ring operates an inner iris diaphragm as used in photography. In a modification of the cleaning-device, the pad is actuated by a spring-controlled rod provided with a thumb button. A combined wick-trimmer and lighting- pin, as described in Specification No. 2375, A.D. 1906, may be used.

Abstract: 3106. Steinem, H. Feb. 7. Carbonic acid.-Relates to apparatus for obtaining carbonic acid from furnace gases by the method described in Specification No. 13,825, A.D. 1897. The charged lye from the absorbing- towers passes to the smaller compartment d of a double tank, whence it is pumped by a pump h through a pipe g to a heat-exchanger f heated by spent lye from the lye boiler b which collects in the compartment e of the double tank from which it is pumped to the absorption towers. The charged lye then passes to a second exchanger i heated by the exhaust steam from the fan and pump engines, and is then sprayed into a third exchanger j in the form of a tower having baffles whereby it is further broken up. In this tower, the lye meets a current of steam with some carbonic acid from the lye boiler b through a pipe n, and the whole of the carbonic acid is swept through a pipe o to a cooler:p from which it is taken to a gas-holder. The spent lye runs from the bottom of the tower j by a pipe r into the boiler b. Live steam from the boiler a may be admitted intermittently to the tower j through a pipe q. The boilers a, bare heated by the same furnace. The furnace gases pass through purifiers c on their way to the absorption towers.
