Inventor: BERRY HERBERT HENRY
Filed: 1904-07-09
Granted: 1905-07-08
Abstract: 15,344. Berry, H. H., [and Risch, F. July 9. Electric railways and tramways on the overheadconductor system. Switches; conductors.-Relates to an automatic cut-out for use with high-potential overhead wires so as to prevent accidents in case of their breaking or becoming short-circuited ; the cut-out, it is also stated, is particularly applicable to the overhead wires of electric tramways, light railways, &c. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of the cut-out in its on' position, and Fig. 3 a side elevation of the same in its off' position. The switch contacts A are carried by, but insulated from, a carrier B, which can slide along the guiderod V and is so arranged that gravity or the tension of the spring T tends to keep it in the 'off' position. The contacts are forced into their on ' position by moving the lever D by means of the handle C. This lever D engages the pivoted lever E, which in turn engages with the trigger Hand becomes locked as shown in Fig. 1. Pivoted against the lower end of the trigger is a lever I connected with a second pivoted lever L, which is normally kept in the position shown in Fig. 2, against the tension of the spring Q, by the fuse wire P. This fuse wire is placed in a subsidiary circuit, so that, when the overhead conductor contacts with any part of this circuit through breaking or from any other cause, it is ' blown' and liberates the lever I, which in turn knocks the trigger and liberates the lever E, the switch being then free to move into its 'off' position to break the main circuit. As the carrier B moves into the off' position, the trigger comes against a stop X which pushes it against the lever E, the levers then being again in position ready for moving the switch to the 'on' position when a fresh fuse wire has been secured in position.

Title: Improvements in Valve Motions for Engines.
Inventor: WILSON THOMAS
Filed: 1904-10-05
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 21,327. Wilson, T. Oct. 5. Valve gear.-The slidevalve rod g is worked through a floating lever i or its equivalent by two adjustable valve gears, oneÀof which may be of any of the ordinary types, while the other comprises an oscillating link l pivoted in the middle and giving motion to the rod j, which is adjusted in it by the ordinary reversing-mechanism. The two gears may be adjusted independently or are adjusted relatively by one hand gear so that, when one is producing its greatest effect on the valve, the other is on its dead centre. This may be done by means of the mechanism shown in Fig. 7. The auxiliary reversing.rod s<1> is moved by a rotating nut 21<1> which is driven through a sliding sleeve 21 gearing in one extreme position with the nut of the main reversing- rod b<1> by gearing 15, 15<1> and in the opposite position by gearing 16, 16', 17, while in its mid-position it is locked by being partly in gear at both ends. When one rod s' or b<1> reaches the middle of its travel, it is unable to move further in the same direction until the toothed gearing is interchanged. Besides the Joy's gear shown, the invention is described in connection with Stevenson's and Gooch's gears. Fig. 6 shows a slide block for a double-bar link l<1> made of two parts 8, 9, one of which 8 fits in the other 9, which is previously passed through the eye of the valve-rod j. The parts are held together by the link l<1>. The shank of the part 8 may be hollow so that a bolt may be passed through both the link and block of the auxiliary gear in case of a broken eccentric. The Provisional Specification states that a wide range of expansion without excessive compression is effected by the invention as in that described in Specification No. 13,553, A.D. 1899.

Filed: 1904-10-27
Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 23,183. Wells, W. J. Oct. 27. Fatty o i l s, extracting. In apparatus applicable to drying materials, such as cereals, from which the oil has been extracted by liquid solvents, a steam-heated rotary drying-drum A is connected to a stationary apparatus in which the vapour given off during the drying operation is purified and recovered. The drum A bas double walls which form a steam jacket. The drum A is also provided with cross steam pipes E and with closed projecting steam pipes F which communicate with the steam jacket. The steam jacket, which is fed through a hollow trunnion B<1>, may communicate with the interior of the drum A through valved pipes J having contracted spraying-outlets as shown in Fig. 6. These consist of plugs having oppositelyarranged tapered recesses communicating with each other. Steam condensed in the steam jacket is collected in a pan H, and flows through outlet pipes on opposite sides of the pan to a passage in the trunnion B', whence it escapes through a hollow collar G'. An opening in the drum is provided with a removable cover and a perforated cupshaped disc D. The cover is held in position by links C<3> connected at one end to a flange surrounding the opening and at the other end to a vertical stem bearing on the cover. The perforated cupshaped disc, shown on an enlarged scale in Fig. 7, is covered on its outer side by gauze or netting. Valved air-inlet pipes K, test openings L', and inspection openings L are also arranged in the drum A. A stationary vent pipe M passes through a hollow trunnion to the separator. Within the drum A the pipe M terminates in a perforated end, which is protected by a fixed hood M' having a hinged flap M<2>, as shown on an enlarged scale in Fig. 4. The separator consists of three compartments each containing removable sieves Q, a collecting-pan Q<1>, and an inspection opening S. The compartments communicate separately with the vent pipe M, a drip pipe R, and an exhaust pipe M<3> leading to a pump. In operation, the drum is charged with materials, such as the germs of corn from hominy mills, and the solvent is introduced through a valved pipe C<2> in the cover. After all outlets from the drum have been closed, it is rotated through a worm and worm-wheel B<3>, the steam pipes serving to mix as well as to heat the materials. Valves between the vent pipe M and the compartments of the separator are then opened to allow the vapour tc pass to the separator. The pipes J are next opened to treat the materials with steam and drive off volatile fluids. Lastly, air is drawn through the apparatus by closing the pipes J and opening the pipes K. The corn thus treated yields a stock food.

Title: Improvements in Dyeing and Printing
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 29,501. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 31. Dyeing and printing of cotton goods are effected with dyes produced in the fibre by reducing, in the presence of an alkali, condensation products of glycerine with anthracene derivatives. For example, an aqueous suspension of the condensation product from #-amido-anthraquinone is treated at 90‹-95‹ C. with sodium hyposulphite and caustic soda lye, and cotton goods are manipulated in the resulting vat for a short time. The goods are then washed, dried, acidified, and washed again, a fast dark violet-blue being obtained. The anthranol condensation product gives a similar result. For printing, either product may be used in a paste consisting otherwise of gum arabic, dextrin, caustic soda, glycerine, water, and stannous oxide paste, stannous chloride, hyposulphite or other reducing-agent. After printing, the goods are dried and steamed a few minutes in a suitable apparatus, in absence of air so far as practicable, and finally rinsed with water and washed with soda. Another printing-paste consists, in addition to one of the dye-stuff mentioned, of British gum, gum arabic, stannous chloride, ferrous sulphate, and water. After being printed, the material is, in this case, dried, passed rapidly through caustic soda solution at 65‹-75‹ C., which may contain a little manganese peroxide to clear the whites, and is then washed in water and finally washed with a suitable acid to remove the iron.
