Patent GB-190428353-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Coal Cutting Machinery.
Inventor: HURD FREDERICK WILSON
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 28,353. Hurd, F. W. Dec. 27. Undercutting &c. -Relates to improvements in coalcutting machinery of the types described in Specifications No. 23,872, A.D. 1896, and No. 282, A.D.1903. In one modification anair-driven motor operates a vertical crank shaft A carried in bearings A' in a casing B ; a bevel-wheel A<2> on the shaft gears with a pinion B<1> on a sleeve B<2> on the cutter-bar shaft c. The shaft may be rotated only, or may be reciprocated in addition by means of worm gearing K, K<1>, links K<4>, and a crosshead K<5> engaging a thrust block K<7>, which may be secured by a pin E<1> held in position by a helical spring E<2>. The shaft C and gearing are enclosed in a casing C' rotatable on guides C<2> formed concentrically with the axis of the crank shaft A. Suitable gearing is provided for rotating the casing, such as a toothed ring D gearing with a pinion on the machine framing and operated by a handle. A stay may be provided to extend from either of two eyes D', D<2> formed in lugs D<3>, D<4> to the main framing in order to secure the cutter bar in position when making a cut. The protuberance C<3> necessary to accommodate the bevel-wheel B' being at the rear end of the shaft C, a cut may be made close to the floor, and also the bearings E may be of greater magnitude than usual. When an electromotor is employed, its driving-shaft is geared to the vertical shaft of the coal-cutting machine by bevel gearing formed on the wheel which gears with the pinion B', allowing the use of a long bearing for the vertical shaft, or on a separate wheel secured to the upper end of the vertical shaft. In an arrangement of the hauling- gear for obviating the rotation of the gearing when the rope is being run off the drum, the drum J is carried loose on its shaft J<1>, but rotates with it when connected to a gear-wheel J<3> by means of a spring-controlled jaw clutch J<2>. A cottar L is situated in a slot in the end of the shaft and bears against one of the shaft bearings L'. When the cottar is driven in, the shaft is caused to move longitudinally, a pinion or collar L<2> on the shaft bearing against the drum and forcing the parts of the clutch together.

Title: Improvements in Clutches.
Filed: 1905-02-10
Granted: 1905-04-13
Abstract: 2759. Aktieselskabet Frederikshavns Jernst¾berl & Maskinfabrik Br¾drene Houm÷ller. Feb. 11. 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Clutches.-Segmental blocks K, Figs. 1 and 2, with conical external faces, are loose on a muff C on the driving-shaft A and are prevented from turning in the free position by internally-projecting pins a on the cone H on the driven shaft B. When tha cone H is advanced, it forces the blocks K into frictional engagement with grooves in a cylindrical part of the muff C, thus driving the shaft B.

Title: Improvements in Sextants
Inventor: MCLACHLAN ROBERT WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-05-26
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 11,004. McLachlan, R. W. May 26. Sextants-Relates to means for facilitating the coarse and fine adjustment of a sextant. The fine adjustment is effected by a rotatable part l grooved on its underside to engage worm grooves on an arc c of the form shown secured to the sextant's arc a. A sleeve j carrying the part l has a milled head k and is mounted on a rod h carried by a spring g. This spring is secured to a carriage e of the form shown, having an opening m through which the edge of the rotatable part l is pressed normally by the spring g. The carriage is connected to the index o by a rod p as shown. When it is desired to make a coarse adjustment, the rod k is pulled by hand towards a pillar n fixed to the carriage, so as to disengage the part l from the grooved arc c.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Consumption of the Smoke and Fumes from Refuse-destroying Furnaces and the like.
Inventor: FAIRBROTHER HENRY
Filed: 1905-09-19
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 18,915. Fairbrother, H., [Decarie Manufacturing Co.]. Sept. 19. Impurities, separating from gases; washing.-The smoke and fumes from a furnace for destroying the refuse and garbage of towns &c. are led through a heating-chamber and thence between two grates to a dust-depositing chamber at the foot of the chimney. The fumes descend a flue and pass between an up-draught grate 13 and a down-draught grate 14 and are consumed by the sheets of flame issuing from them. The gases then, on their way to the chimney 3, pass over the surface of the water in the tanks 16, 17, and through a sheet of water issuing from a pipe 18.
Patent GB-190521260-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Railway Point and Switch Operating Stands.
Inventor: SNOW FRED WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-19
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 21,260. Snow, F. W. Dec. 15, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Points and switches.-Relates to switch stands for operating railway points by hand, means being also provided for allowing the points to be thrown by a passing train. Fig. 1 shows an elevation, partly in section, of the switch stand, and Figs. 2 and 3 sectional plans taken through the lower and upper portions, respectively. The stand comprises a fixed base portion a through which passes a spindle b connected at its lower end to the point tongue so that a quarter-turn will move the tongue completely over. The upper portion of this shaft is preferably square and has fixed thereon a sleeve c around which a collar d slidably fits. A handle e, pivoted at f, is adapted to raise or lower the collar d and rotate the shaft b as desired. The collar d is squared on its underside so as to form a clutch with the part k. This block k, supported by the base a, has its lower end s shaped as shown in Fig. 2 and is free to rotate against the action of the springs n and yoke l. When the handle is raised, the collar is disengaged from the other member of the clutch, and the points can then be operated by hand. When the handle is moved into its lowest position, the clutch members engage and the spindle b becomes locked to the block k. The handle may be locked in its inoperative position by placing a suitable fastening-device through the projection i. When a train trails through the points, the wheel flanges throw the point tongues and rotate the spindle b. The contacting surfaces of the yoke l and block k are shaped so as to ensure a uniform pressure between them throughout the rotation of the spindle b and thus prevent an incomplete throw of the switch. _ After the train has passed the points, the point tongue will always be left in one or other of its extreme positions.

Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 22,765. Niven, T., Clark, W., and Bell, J. G. Oct. 15. Steam-generator furnaces; fire-bars. - In corrugated boiler furnaces, the grates are fitted at the sides with fire-bars which are free to respond to the expansion or contraction of the furnace. In one form, a plain bar a, shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in section in Fig. 3, is carried by the front and back bearers, and is formed with a channel for receiving tongues f on the sections b. The sections are provided with lips and are arranged so that, when assembled together, there is a slight space between adjacent sections. To prevent the sections from being raised from the bar or displaced during clinkering, the tongues and channel may be dovetailed. In a modification, the sections b may be provided with lips j, Fig. 6, to fit over the bar a, and with a central lip k to engage an enlargement m on the side of the bar.
