Patent GB-190600377-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Brakes.
Filed: 1906-01-05
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 377. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemene & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 5. Brakes.-In a fluid-pressure brake system for railway trains, in which an additional brake cylinder e is employed for obtaining an increased brake pressure at high speeds, the cylinder e is connected with the train-pipe d through an electrically-operated valve f and a check valve g, and with the ordinary brake cylinder a through a check valve i, the connexions between the cylinder a, auxiliary reservoir b, triple valve c, and train-pipe d being as usual. An additional reservoir h, with a check valve k having a by-pass l, which allows only slow charging, may also be connected up between the valves f, g. On reducing the trainpipe pressure, the cylinder a alone comes into action, but, on operating the valves f, air passes to the cylinder e from both the train-pipe and the reservoirs h, and the consequent reduction in the train-pipe pressure also brings the cylinders a into use. On increasing the train-pipe pressure, the pressure in both cylinders is released, the air in the cylinder e escaping to the cylinder a through the valve i. The check valve k prevents delay in the release of the brakes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Generation of Gaseous Formic Aldehyde
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-03-28
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 7487. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. March 28. Disinfectants.-Formaldehyde is obtained in the gaseous state, or in dilute solutions, by the addition of water to mixtures of metallic peroxides, having an alkaline reaction, or of persalts and polymerized formaldehyde, or other body capable of evolving formaldehyde. The reaction may be accelerated by the addition of alkaline compounds, such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydrates, or the like. According to an example, gaseous formaldehyde and steam are evolved on the addition of barium peroxide to a 40 per cent formaldehyde solution. According to the other examples, water may be added to mixtures of peroxides, e.g. sodium, barium, strontium, &c. peroxides, and paraformaldehyde. The violence of the action, when sodium peroxide is used, may be moderated by the addition of sodium carbonate, or the like, to the mixture. Mixtures of barium peroxide, strontium peroxide, alkali, or alkaline earth, salts of peracids, such as perboric, pertitanic, pervanadic, perzirconic, and permolybdic acids, with paraformaldehyde may be used. Tablets of the above-mentioned mixtures, with or without the addition of alkaline compounds to accelerate the action, may be prepared. Mixtures of peroxides, or of mixtures of peroxides and salts of peracids, are suitable for addition to the formaldehyde-producing body. Gaseous formaldehyde and steam are also produced by adding the peroxides or persalts to an aqueous solution of formaldehyde.

Abstract: 17,736. Turner, J., and Buxton, A. Aug. 3. Sole and heel protectors.-To enable revolving pads for heels and soles to be removed and renewed without removing the central fixing-screw 5, the pad 3 is formed with a central recess 6 and is undercut at 8. The pad is placed in position, and the two halves of a locking plate 11, 12, Fig. 4, are. then forced into the recess 8. This divided plate, by engaging under the head of the screw 5, thus secures the pad, and is itself prevented from displacement without being forced out by an instrument. To prevent the parts 11, 12 from overlapping in use, a solid plate 9, Fig. 3, having a hole 10 to enable it to be passed over the head of the screw 5, and having projections 13, 14 to engage in notches 15, 16 in the parts 11, 12, is forced into the recess 8 before the locking-plate is inserted. A second divided plate, furnished with the projections 13, 14 and placed at right-angles to the plate 11,12, may be used instead of the plate 9. To provide for longer wear of the pad without the metal parts coming into contact with the ground, the pad may be formed with a boss 4, into which the recess 6 extends, as shown in Fig. 1, the heel or sole being formed with a recess 1 to receive this boss.
