Abstract: 17,169. Hamm, W. S. July 23. Signal lanterns; lantern cowls.-In signal lamps for railway work in which the air supply enters by the casing top through a perforated dome 12, and a chamber comprising a perforated screen 19 depending into the lamp body, a flue 22 tapering upwardly from the lower end of the screen and a plate 24 extending inwardly from the dome above the air inlets 27, the square, cylindrical or polygonal screen 19 is supported on the dome by an out-turned flange 20 and supports a similarly shaped flue by an in-turned flange 21. Preferably, baffle plates 29 extending to the walls of the dome, and, in the case where a polygonal screen is used, arranged at the corners of the flue, are provided. Perforations provided in the plates 29 do not extend to their outer edges, and the screen 19 is not perforated at its lower end nor at the corners, or, when the screen is cylindrical, at the portions adjacent to the baffleplates. The flue may comprise a number of plates, each forming one side, and secured together by lips 34, the plates 29 being formed by a wing on each flue plate and being secured to the plate 24 by lips. The parts are secured by a shoulder on the hinged dome 12 which engages with the plate 24 fitting upon the flue. A tapered part 31 forms a pocket which prevents down-draught. In a modification, the perforated dome 12 is formed by an upstanding flange on the lamp body and the top only of it is hinged, the screen being supported on an internal shoulder in the flange.

Patent GB-191229611-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Garage Turn Tables.
Inventor: HALL ROBERT EWING
IPC: B60S13/02
Filed: 1912-12-23
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 29,611. Hall, R. E. Dec. 23. Turntables, mechanical.-Turntables rotated by power applied from the vehicle are normally locked, but are released when the vehicle is run on. Two sets of outer and inner wheels 21, 26, Fig. 10, are provided at each end, and are engaged by the car wheels ; the wheels 21 are connected by bevel-gearing 20, 17 with two wheels 13, placed at opposite ends of the table, and engaging the circular pit rails which incline inwards ; the wheels 26 are idler wheels and have spur-wheels 27 engaged by plungers 29 operated by a shaft 28. The depression of a bar 37, Fig. 5, by the car operates this shaft to unlock the wheels 26 so that the vehicle wheels can actuate the wheels 21 to operate the table, while the locking of the table by a hand-lever 74 or by a bolt 46 operates the shaft to lock the wheels 26 and release the vehicle. The bolt 46 is withdrawn by depression of the bar 37 and retained by a latch 54 ; a part 50 engages a lever 66 which actuates a lever 52 to withdraw the latch 54, when the bolt engages a projection 44 in the pit. The latch is retained by a wedge 60 which is moved by a pin 58 on the bolt 46 and held by a spring 67<1>. The bolt then enters a recess 45 in the pit under the action of a spring 73. The framing comprises main beams 5, Fig. 2, and transverse beams 6, secured by rods 7 ; these beams support smaller longitudinal and transverse beams forming a floor support, segments 9 being provided on opposite sides. Openings in the top of the table lead to the wheels and gears for lubrication, and ducts 86 lead to the track wheels 12. In some cases, the rollers 26 are dispensed with.

The thread 7 is passed between the parts 8, 9, and through thread slots 5, 6, being thus subjected to tension by the pressure of the end 3 of the spring 2.
Patent GB-191307707-A (GB)
Title: A Process for the Agglomeration of Ore in Rotary Tubular Furnaces.
IPC: C22B1/216
Filed: 1913-04-01
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 7707. Smidth & Co., F. L. May 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Agglomerating processes.-Ores are agglomerated by reduction and subsequent oxidation in a rotary furnace having an enlarged zone b, in which reduction takes place, bounded towards the contracted outlet c by a step d. In passing over the step, the ore is oxidized by a current of hot air supplied, without fuel, through the nozzle g. The step serves to protect the reduced ore in the zone b from the oxidizing- action of the air current. The requisite temperature is maintained in the furnace by supplying at intervals, alternately with the air, a flame of pulverulent fuel or blast-furnace gas for short periods, say from a quarter to half an hour every four to six hours.

Abstract: 7713. Calcott Bros., and Calcott, J. April 2. Hinges readily separable about hinge pin.-A fitting for the attachment of side-cars to motorcycles comprises (i) a clip 5 attached to the cycle frame, and having an outstanding lug 6 carrying a screw-bolt 7 with a locking-plate 8 attached to its head, and (ii) a member 2 attached to the side-car and having a cup-shaped head 3 with a slot 4 adapted to engage the screwbolt 7. The locking-plate 8 on the bolt-head screws down into the recess 9 in the member 2, and is retained securely in position by a screw 12 in the cup plate 3 which engages a recess 13 in the locking-plate. In an alternative construction, the screw 7 may be in the form of a threaded stud fixed in the lug 6 and the locking-plate may be mounted rotatably thereon and be held in engagement with the cup 9 by means of a nut.
Patent GB-191308245-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Governing the Speed of Railway Cars or Trains.
Inventor: ALEXANDER ALBERT EDGAR
IPC: B61L3/08
Filed: 1913-04-08
Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 8245. Alexander, A. E., [Union Switch & Signal Co.]. April 8. Actuating.-A valve 50, Fig. 5, used in apparatus for automatically stopping trains or giving signals thereon when running past signals at excessive speeds comprises a casing 44 with end caps 45, 46 and a spring-pressed auxiliary valve 50 adapted to be unseated by a triangular stem 51 when the projection 43 is pushed in by the operation of a track contact 10, Fig. 1, operating through a lever 11, a crosshead 27, and a pivoted cranked member 36. A piston 52 has a sleeve 53 surrounding and guiding the stem 51, and formed at the end adjacent to the valve with fingers to permit pressure fluid to flow from the pipe 41 and the chamber 55 into the chamber 57 when the valve is unseated. This causes the piston 52 to move to the left and restores the projection to its original position. A port 56 opening to the atmosphere is then uncovered by the piston 52, the fluid pressure exhausts through the valve device into the atmosphere, and the brakes are applied. The pressure in the chamber 57 being thereby reduced, the spring 54 moves the valve 50 and the piston 52 a little to the right and throttles the port 56, until equilibrium between the spring and the slightly increased pressure in the chamber 57 is reached. A port 118 is provided to exhaust any leakage from the body 44. To release the brakes, the valve 50 may be closed by disconnecting temporarily the pipe 41 from the fluid-pressure supply by operating a valve 114, Fig. 1, by a push-button 116 against a spring 117. A piston 129 on the valve stem prevents leakage. In a modification, the ports 118, 56, Fig. 10, are connected and open to the atmosphere through a port 119. To release the brakes after operation, an electro-magnet 121 is energized to close a valve 120 and equalize the pressure on each side of the piston 52. The spring 54 then closes the valve 50. The magnet 121 is then de-energized, and the valve 50 remains closed.

Abstract: 18,576. Hills, H. G., and Thom, R. W. Aug. 12. Composition fuel. - Carbonaceous material such as coal, the dust of bituminous fuel &c., without agglutinants and in a movable container, is introduced into a vacuum chamber and thence transferred into one or more distilling chambers, where it is distilled at a temperature below or but slightly exceeding that at which tar is formed, and is then passed in a plastic condition into a cooling-chamber where it may be compressed. The plant shown comprises a vacuum entrance chamber a, distilling- chambers b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, and a cooling-chamber c, the chambers being separated by movable plates f. The fuel is carried on trucks e in frames i divided into rectangular compartments and is distilled in successive stages and under a slight vacuum in the chambers b<1>, b<2>, b<3> at different temperatures. The vapours produced at each stage are drawn off by pipes h<1>, h<2>, h<3> connected to separate tar tanks or receivers g<1>, g<2>, g<3> and to a scrubber m. In the cooling- chamber c, in which a vacuum is maintained or into which inert gases are introduced, the truck e may be raised by a ram k so that dies j on the roof of the chamber c enter the compartments of the frame i and compress the fuel into blocks. The compression may be omitted or may take place outside the chamber c.
