Title: A Safety Latch Lock and Handle Fitting for Railway and other Carriage Doors.
Inventor: GYE PERCY
Filed: 1905-09-12
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 18,408. Cye, P. Sept. 12. Fastenings, railway-carriage door. -Relates to a fastening for railwaycarriage doors, the inside controlling- handle of which is out of the convenient reach of a seated person or a child. The door bolt a, operable from inside by the ordinary thumbpiece, is blocked in its shot position by the vertical sliding bolt d, the operating-handle e of which is placed near the top of the door. To open the door from the inside, the bolt d must first be raised and retained in this position b the spring latch m on the door frame engaging the projection d<4> thereon ; the bolt a can then be withdrawn. On the door being opened, the bolt d is released and, engaging the shoulder a<4> on the bolt a, retains the bolt a in the withdrawn position. When the door is slammed, the pivoted lever g is raised by the striking-plate and releases the bolt d from the door bolt a, which is then allowed to shoot, being again locked by the bolt d. From outside, the bolt a is withdrawn by a pinion q, which engages teeth a<5> on the bolt a and is provided with a cam r for raising the bolt d out of its blocking position. The handle has to be turned through 180 degrees to withdraw the bolt a completely, and in the latter position the cam r allows the bolt d to fall back to retain the bolt a in its withdrawn position. In case of the bolt a being accidentally released when the door is open, the striking-plate is bevelled so as to force back the bolt, the lever g acting to disengage the bolt d.

Abstract: 18,860. M³ller, P., [Bittmann, C.]. Sept. 19. Rollers and roller heads.-Clearers for the back and middle bottom drawing-rollers of slabbing, intermediate, and roving frames, ring and traveller frames, mules, &c. are supported or controlled by springs or weights connected with the cap-bars or cap-bar rods of the top rollers, the arrangement avoiding interference with the piecing - up of broken ends and with the cleaning of the roller beams. The clearer m, Fig. 3, is made in sections covered with flannel and secured on an axle n, supported by a spring i, notched to engage the axle n between the sections and resting on the cap-bar k. The spring is bent at o to engage a notch in the cap-bar, and is slit at the sides q<1>, which are bent down to prevent lateral movement. In another arrangement, the upper end of the spring is slotted to embrace a set-screw screwed into the cap-bar. In another, it passes through an inverted U-shaped bracket embracing, and held to, the top of the cap-bar. In another, it is slotted to embrace a set-screw in a bracket fixed, on the cap-bar. In these arrangements, the clearer may be removed from the spring i to be cleaned, or the spring may be taken away with the clearer. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement in which the clearer m is supported in a weighted lever w pivoted on the cap-bar rod x. A spring z may be employed in place of the weight y.

Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Cleaning Air or Gas Filters.
Inventor: KESTNER PAUL
Filed: 1906-02-06
Granted: 1907-02-06
Abstract: 2870. Kestner, P. Feb. 6. Filtering.-Air or gas filters are cleaned while in operation by causing, by suction, a reversed current to flow through a small area of the filtering- medium, such area being continually or intermittently changed automatically. A circular-drum filter A of perforated metal, wire-gauze, or latticework covered with flannelette &c. is fixed vertically in a frame C and provided with a conduit B leading to an exhauster. Parallel to the drum axis is arranged a hollow tube G of rectangular section with hemispherical ends, carried by an horizontal tube D supported on a hollow socket E, which is adapted to be rotated through belt gearing J, H, and communicates by the pipe F with an auxiliary exhauster. The tube G has a long vertical slot N in one side, which is covered by an endless travelling band P having apertures to which are attached one or more suction nozzles O. Deposited impurities on the outside of the drum are continually carried away by the reverse current through the nozzles O, slot N, tubes G, D, socket E, and pipe F ; after the hollow tube G has completed a circuit, or part of a circuit, round the drum, a stop or stops on. the frame engage a toothed wheel to rotate the belt and allow the nozzles to operate on another horizontal zone of the drum. In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the band P is stationary, and the nozzles 0, which are arranged to slide upon the face of the tube G within a portion of the band, are attached to a carrier connected to endless travelling chains S. The carrier consists of three rollers, compressed springs 4, 5, 6 being provided so that the band is kept taut and the nozzle is kept in close contact with the tube. According to the Provisional Specification, the invention is applicable to flat screens ; the carrier may consist of a tube connected to the nozzle, or the nozzle may be connected with the exhauster by a separate flexible tube ; the nozzles may be raised gradually to the top of the filter by the carrier, and then caused to descend immediately.

Abstract: 4868. Hall, R. F., and Hall, F. H. Feb. 28. Brakes. - Relates to motor road vehicles in which brakes applied to the live back axle are enclosed within the differential - gear box and arranged to act upon the members of the differential gear. Figs. 4 and 5 show a side elevation and horizontal section respectively of one modification in which the brake bands i act upon both the driving - drum and the driven members of a differential gear of the spur-wheel type. A pinion e on the end of the longitudinal transmission shaft drives a bevel-wheel d secured on the outside of a drum, which encloses and carries the planetary pinions gearing with the driven members f<2> , f<3>, .secured one to each member g', g<2> of the live axle. The bosses of the gear-wheel, f<2>, f<3> are provided with brake disks having flanged peripheries h<1> of the same diameter as the drum, the drum and the disks being gripped by bands i operated by the gearing shown in Fig. 4. The gearing comprises two toothed pinions m, m<1>, gearing together and engaging racks n on the ends of the brake band. The spiudle of one of the pinions passes through the casing, and is connected to a suitable operating - lever. In a modification, the brake is applied to the driving-member of a differential gear of the bevel-wheel type, and the driven members are secured, one to a solid live axle driving one road wheel, and the other to a sleeve mounted on the axle and driving the other road wheel. The gear casing is split horizontally into two parts, the bottom part being the larger and carrying the bearings, and the top part forming a removable cover.

Abstract: 6820. T÷rley, J. de, and Benk÷, E. March 21. Primary batteries.-Relates to batteries of the kind described in Specification No. 988, A.D. 1906, in which a carbon electrode and a heated, strongly oxidizing electrolyte are used in conjunction with an alkaline electrolyte and a metal electrode, and consists in a combination of a current generator, comprising cells of the abovementioned type, with devices for containing, heating, and circulating the fluids. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, three carbon plates 7 are arranged in the acid- and heat-proof container 1, and between each pair of carbons is a porous vessel containing zinc electrodes 9. The porous vessels may be of perforated rubber, of asbestos enclosed in perforated rubber plates, or of porous earthenware etc.; washer plates 10 serve to make tight joints between the diaphragms and the removable cover 6 or the bottom of the cell. Fig. 3 shows eight such elements arranged as a battery. The oxidizing-electrolyte is contained in the vessel 11, which is provided with heating means such as the steam-pipe 20 ; from this vessel it is forced by the pump 12 through the pipe 13 and its branches 2 to the containers 1, and then passes out by the pipes 3, 14 back to the vessel 11 for reheating. The alkaline electrolyte is contained in the vessel 15 and flows by the pipe 16 to the supply pipes 4, Fig. 2, and the porous vessels, flowing out by the pipes 5 to the pipe 17, which is provided with a draw-off cock 21. In the construction shown in Fig. 7, the carbons 7 are contained in the porous vessels 8, a zinc 9 is placed in the middle of the cell, and the cell itself is of metal, say, iron lined with zinc ; similar arrangements for supplying and circulating the liquids are used. The alkaline electrolyte may be heated in this case, the oxidizing electrolyte being thus heated indirectly. In both cases the cells themselves may be directly heated, instead of the electrolytes being heated externally. Sodium chromate is used in preference to the potassium salt in the ordinary electrolyte.
