Abstract: 5083. Boult, A. J., [Soc. Carrot et Mondon]. March 4. Brakes; clutches; driving-mechanism. - Relates to free-wheel and back-pedalling brake mechanisms, shown applied to the rear wheel of a bicycle. On the wheel hub 1 is screwed a ring 4, between which and the sprocket-wheel 5 is the free-wheel clutch, and between the sprocket-wheel and an inner annular ring 6 is arranged a second clutch which locks the parts 5, 6 when the cyclist backpedals. A disc 7, secured to the ring 6, has a projecting arm 16, to which is connected one end of a cable 18 passing over a pulley 20 to the yoke 22 of a rim brake. The rim brake is normally held out of contact with the wheel rim 2 by helical springs 31, but back-pedalling tends to turn the ring 6, disc 7, and arm 16 backwards, and so to apply the brakes by pulling the cable 18. The disc 7 rotates on the socket of a fixed plate 35, which has a projection 34 adapted to form a stop for the arm 16. The brake blocks 27 are spring-mounted in arms 24, 23; of which one, 24, slides in the split end of the yoke and is secured. by a screw 28, and the other 23 screws into a pivot 29 and is adjusted in an oval-sectioned bearing by means of a screw 30. If desired, both arms can be similarly mounted, and the cable may have a tension device.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Generators
Inventor: GRENTHE LOUIS
Filed: 1903-03-11
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 5682. Grenthe, L. March 11. Water-tube boilers.-The boiler consists of assemblages of water tubes, which radiate or present a fanlike arrangement, and which connect a principal cylindrical body with lateral collectors. It also comprises one or more boilers arranged between the tubular assemblages and connected to the principal body by means of tubes. The principal body or drum 1, Fig. 2, contains a trough-shaped compartment 10, which is connected to the cylindrical water chamber 2, by means of tubes 12 and similar tubes which project into the water chamber 2, and to the sediment collectors 15, Fig. 2, by the water tubes 16. The drum 1 communicates with the sediment collectors by means of water tubes 14, which enclose the smaller tubes 16, and communicate with them at the bottom and with the collectors through openings 20, Fig. 3. The tubes are secured to the collectors by means of a screw 17, and a projecting piece 18 keeps the inner tube in position. The boiler is supported upon transverse walls or partitions, and the furnace is arranged between the two front ones. Partitions are arranged between the assemblages of tubes to direct the furnace gases. Attached to the ends of the collectors 15 are collectors 25, which are provided with drain pipes for removing the sediment. Soot collectors 29 are arranged beneath the tubular assemblages. Instead of arranging the collectors 15 horizontally, they may be arranged along arcs of circles in vertical planes, or they may be replaced on each side of the boiler by a large flat box. By the above arrangement, hot water from the cylindrical boiler 2 passes up into the trough 10, flows down the internal tubes 16, and then up through the tubes 14 to the cylindrical drum 1, and finally flows down through the other connecting-tubes to the boiler 2 again. The water is obliged to move in ascending and descending paths, in accordance with the principle explained in Specification No. 22,260, A.D. 1902.

Patent GB-190308497-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Dynamos and Motors with Alternating Field.
Inventor: ZIEGENBERG RUDOLF
Filed: 1903-04-14
Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 8497. Ziegenberg, R. April 14. Sparking, preventing.- Relates to arrangements for preventing sparking in dynamo - electric machines in which the fields are supplied with alternating currents at full frequency. A counter electromotive force is generated in order to balance that generated in the short-circuited coils. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The commutator C is formed of a number of conducting-segments c<1>, c<2>, &c. separated by insulating-pieces s', s<4>, &c. of the same width, and the brush B is formed of two conducting-pieces b<1>, b<2> separated by insulation i. The width of one of the conducting-pieces, together with that of the insulation, is equal to that of a commutator segment. A coil N connects the brushes, and the lead J is connected to the middle of the coil. A counter electromotive force is generated in this coil, to neutralize that in the short-circuited coil, at the moment of commutation. This may be produced by winding it upon the field magnets as shown at W, W, Fig. 2, or upon a projection on the field magnets ; or by arranging a small transformer in connection with the brushes as shown in Fig. 3. The load may be in series with the coils on the transformer, or the primary may be a fine wire wound also on the field magnets. Instead of constructing the brush so that the parts are in contact with two successive segments, the insulating-bar may be wider than a segment, so that the parts may only be in contact with alternate segments of the commutator, which may then be separated by mica in the ordinary way. In a modification, the brush may be in two parts, separated by thick insulation equal to several segments of the commutator.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Wire-drawing Machines
Inventor: HORTON JAMES ALEXANDER
Filed: 1903-09-11
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 19,618. Horton, J. A. Sept. 11. Drawing.- Wire-drawing machines of the continuous t y p e comprise two tiers of drums with corresponding dies. Each drum has a positively - driven wire-seat arranged to h a v e a slight radial yield and to coat the wire with soft metal to facilitate drawing. Drums 10, Figs. 1 and 5, are driven from shafts 13 through idle wheels in gear with internal teeth on rings 11. The wire-seats 21 are in the form of split rings and are composed of a soft lubricating- metal, such as a copper and tin alloy, so that when the seat travels at a different speed to that of the wire, the latter receives a coating of the metal. Pins 23, 25 on the rings 11 engage slots 22, 24 in the seats, and afford a positive drive with a slight amount of play. In a modification, the slots 24 are dispensed with. The seats are slightly oval in form so that they spring away from the surface of the rings 11. In a second modification, the seats are concentric and are cushioned on a rubber band. The drums and dies are mounted in a trough 18 containing lubricant.

The needle 15 is attached to the membrane 11 by two circular discs, the lower one of which works on the threaded end of the needle. The frame 14 and needle 15 form a lever, such that by turning the screw 25, the end of the needle is raised or lowered, and hence the membrane adjusted. Metallic membranes, especially of aluminium, are preferred.
Patent GB-190327730-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: FORMAN WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-12-17
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 27,730. Forman, W., and Klicks, O. Dec. 17. Parallel knitting-machines.-Fashioned tubular elastic work is made on a Lamb machine with four sets of needles. The upper needles g, h have side bends on their stems, Fig. 10, upward projections i and bevelled undersides. The frame needles e, f are mounted between blades 2 and on jacks 1 which are strung by slots 3 on wires 4. By moving the jacks endwise, the frame needles may be moved in or out of action during fashioning. The knocking-over bits 7, Fig. 4, have notches to hold down the work and keep it at the same level. The cam-carrying plates k, n and l, n for working needles g, e. and h, f are fixed to reciprocating bracketsm. The blocks sliding on the bar r carries the guide p for the rubber strand and also the sliding bar t which bears the yarn-guide o. A stud on the bracket m engages the block s until disengaged by an incline on an adjustable stop. The latter also stops the bar t and yarn-guide o, a little earlier than the guide p, so that on the return motion the yarn may be laid in advance of the rubber. The needles f, g knit part of the elastic tube while the needles e, h are inactive. After the needles f, g draw back, a rubber strand is laid on the looped yarn. The needles .f then knock off their old loops and both needles f, g advance to prevent displacement of the rubber. The needles g then advance further while the needles f retreat. The sinker loops thus slide along the side bends of the needle g, Fig. 10, as far as the projections i. The loops are then opposite, and ready to be taken by, the needles f which advance and remove them. The rubber threads are thus caught between the doubled loops as shown in Fig. 17. As the needles g withdraw, their latches are closed ; at the next traverse of the cams, special latch openers open the latches ready to receive the knitting yarn.

Title: Improvements in Wave Telegraphy.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
IPC: H04L27/04
Filed: 1903-12-23
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 28,290. Fessenden, R. A. Dec. 23. Telegraphs. - R e - lates to a system of electromagnetic wave telegraphy in which each station has a steidy state impressed upon it by other sendi n g stations, which state can be varied only by stations signalling in proper tune. The signalling i s effected by changing the frequency of the electromagnet waves without substantially changing their intensity. Fig. 1 shows one transmitting arrangement. Waves are excited in the aerial conductor a by sparks produced at b by a source of constant voltage g. The rate of oscillation is determined by the capacity of a, the resistance of f, and the inductance of the coil d leading to the earth c. By depressing the key e, the inductance d is shortcircuited and the rate of oscillation is changed without changing the intensity. In a modification, the inductance is short-circuited in two steps instead of one, this giving greater range of frequency.
