Abstract: 24,440. Holoubek, F. Nov. 11. Soaps, casting. The moulds 6, Fig. 1, consist of rectangular frames with open sides, and are clamped between coolers 7 containing water, which form the sides of the moulds. A number of such moulds and coolers are mounted on a carriage and pressed together by means of screws 3 and pressure plates 4. They may be provided with pegs and corresponding holes to ensure accurate fitting. Soap is passed into the moulds from a trough 8 through pipes 18, provided with cocks, and fastened to inlets 10. Holes fitted with sliding covers are formed in the top of the moulds for the purpose of observing the process of filling and setting. A continuous stream of water is passed from a pipe 9 through flexible leather tubes 19 into the coolers 7, in which vertical baffle-plates are arranged. Figs. 5 and 6 show modified forms of the mould and cooler respectively, which enable the feeding-trough 8 to be dispensed with. When the moulds and coolers are pressed together, dome-shaped caps 20, 21 form a continuous channel for the passage of the molten soap to the moulds, and through this channel is passed a heating-pipe 23.

Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 28,265. Ellis, O. W., and Russell, A. Dec. 23. Valve gear. - A releasing valve gear for steam and other engines is shown in Fig. 1. Two sets are used, one at each end of the cylinder. The eccentric 2 o perating the lever 3 actuates the steam and exhaust valves, or separate eccentrics may be used. The pin 10 in the jaw of the coupling-rod carries two radial links 12, and has keyed to it the hook 11, Fig. 2, and a tripping- finger 22 actuated by the cam 26 on the spindle 17. This spindle is controlled by the governor through the medium of the collar shown in Fig. 4 and the adjustable link 20. As the rod 4 descends, the radial links move, and the hook raises the steam valve by the bell-crank lever against the action of the spring in the cataract cylinder. The exhaust valve is given uniform motion through the lever 8, or a quick opening and closing through a cam-lever. When a long range of cut-off is required, the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 is adopted. The governor movement is applied to levers 30, 31, and is transmitted to a lever 35. A lever at each end of the cylinder is pivoted on a pin 33, and is rocked by a supplementary eccentric. The tripping-finger 22 is loose upon the pin 38, and has a guiding-slot 40. The hook 11 is widened out at the top sufficiently to allow the tripper to raise it out of contact with the bell-crank lever.

Abstract: 15,852. Winand, P. A. N. Aug. 8, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines; combustion-product engines. -Relates to operating reciprocating engines and turbines for submarine vessels and torpedoes by products of combustion due to the burning of a highly-concentrated fuel in the presence of a highly-oxygenated gaseous substance and a diluent other than air. The substances chosen are such that a maximum amount of useful work may be obtained from a minimum of weight and volume of the combustible, comburant, and diluent. Oxygen obtained from liquid nitric peroxide may be used as a supporter of combustion, and water or liquid ammonia as the diluent. If preferred, the substances may be stored in three separate vessels, or the diluent may be dispensed with, in which case the combustible or comburant or both are supplied to the combustion chamber in excess. It is stated that a mixture of " ammonium nitrate " with sufficient water to render it liquid and " ammonia" may be used. When operating reciprocating engines, the mixture is ignited in the cylinder.

Abstract: 16,714. Osmond, G. E. Aug. 17. Brakes.-For mounting inverted brake-operating levers, the usual barrel a fitting within the cycle bandle-bars is provided with an inclined or cutaway surface upon which rests a wedge b, so that, when moved by means of a set-screw d bearing against a bent-in piece e and engaging a lug c, the wedge is forced outwardly into contact with the handle-bars and retains the barrel in position. A slot f permits free movement of the lever, while a cover j closes the exposed end of the barrel. For adapting the arrangement to handle-bars of varying diameters, a split ferrule h, Fig. 4, provided with two inclined slots leaving a central piece i corresponding in shape to the wedge b, is placed upon the barrel so that the wedge forces out the central piece to keep the parts in position. According to the Provisional Specification, the set-screw bears against the cap.

Title: Improvements in Selective Signalling Apparatus applicable for Telephonic and other Purposes.
Inventor: ANDREWS JOSEPH DEVONPORT FINNE
Filed: 1905-10-23
Granted: 1906-10-23
Abstract: 21,565. Andrews, J. D. F. Oct. 23. Signals, electric; recording signals.-Relates to the selective transmission and recording of signals by the electric control of pendulums having different rates of vibration. Such signals may be employed as call signals for telephonic or telegraphic purposes. The pendulum or vibrator produces no sound in itself, but is arranged to sound a bell or close an electric circuit when a certain amplitude of vibration has been obtained. The same pendulum is used for transmitting and receiving purposes. Fig. 1 illustrates the application of the invention to a party-line telephone system. At each station the pendulum bob B normally occupies a position peculiar to that station, and indicated by the number of the station as shown on an adjacent scale. When another station is to be called, the pendulum bob is correspondingly adjusted, the key V depressed, and the pendulum started with the finger. The circuit being made and broken by the action of the pendulum on the contact-springs G, H, an intermittent current is sent through the magnet E to line, of the correct frequency to set the pen-. dulum at the selected station in vibration. An additional non-adjustable pendulum K is employed to ring a signal bell. When the pendulum reaches its full amplitude of vibration, the electro-magnet . E' is energized and the telephone hook unlocked. When the number of stations on the line is in excess of the number that can conveniently be distinguished by means of one pendulum, a series of pendulums is employed, one coming into action after another and cutting the preceding one out. Each pendulum may be arranged to strike a bell as it reaches its full amplitude, and, if each bell is of a different tune, chimes may be produced in this way. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that the pendulums may carry distinctive type which effect impressions on paper when the full amplitude is reached.

Abstract: 23,998. Lautenschlõger, W. Oct. 27. Axle-trucks or undercarriages.-The bogies and swivelling axle-trucks of railway vehicles, motorcars, &c. are brought back into a central position, after displacement on passing round a curve, by means of levers p, q, Fig. 3, pivoted at r, s to the truck frame o and bearing against stops u, v and stops w, x, placed on the car frame a<1> and the truck frame o, respectively. The lower ends of the levers are connected by a slightly tensioned spring t. When the truck moves relatively to the car body, say to the right, the stop v displaces the lever q against the action of the spring, while the lever p is retained by the pivot pin r and the stop w. When the vehicle leaves the curve, the spring t pulls the lever q back to its original position until it is in contact with both the stops x, v.
