Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 3576. Schneider, B. Feb. 13. Fares, registering, on vehicles. In apparatus of the taxameter form in which a movable flag is employed to adjust the indicating-wheel to "cash," " unoccupied," or the various rates of fare, and to control the registering-mechanism accordingly, the flagstaff is not fixed to the indicating-wheel spindle, necessitating a position of the taxameter which allows the flag to make a complete revolution, but is positively geared thereto by intermediate parts. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the flagstaff q always projects in the direction shown, but is rotatable about its axis and is connected by bevel-gearing t, s to the spindle b of the indicating-wheel. In a modification, the flagstaff projects at right-angles from a spindle parallel to the spindle b, and geared thereto by spur-wheels, the adjusting motion of the flagstaff being in this case a revolution about its spindle. Alternatively, the intermediate gearing may consist of friction gearing or link-work. Upon the spindle b of the indicating-wheel are mounted the alining-wheel c, the ratchet-wheel d preventing reverse motion except as between the alternative fares, and a tappet k co - operating with the regis tering-mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Wash Bowl and Bath Tub Valves.
Inventor: YORK DAVID WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-04-10
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 8590. York, D. W. April 10. Lift valves; actuating valves.--Lavatory basins and baths are fitted with upwardly - closing discharge valves of the lift type operated by gearing. A section of the valve is shown in Fig. 2, the dotted lines denoting the position of a lavatory basin. The valve 16 closes a port 7 which coincides with an orifice in the bottom of the basin. An opening 8 admits water from an overflow passage formed in the basin. Outlet ports 9, 10 lead to the waste-pipe. The casing is closed by a threaded plug 12 carrying an upwardly-extending sleeve 14, the plug and sleeve forming a bearing for the valve spindle. A toothed enlargement 17 on the spindle is engaged by segment gearing 18. An operating-rod 23 extends through a bearing sleeve 22 and is provided at its lower end with a worm 24 which engages the gearing 18. The upper end of the rod projects above the slab of the basin and is provided with a suitable knob. That portion of the rod which slides through the sleeve 22 is formed with a longitudinal groove having at its lower end a circumferential notch, while the sleeve has a locking-feather. This enables the valve to be retained in the open piston by rotation of the rod 23. A sleeve 31 is connected to a sleeve 33 by a perforated, conical drain plate so that when the valve is closed overflow water entering the port 8 can pass down the casing and out by the port 10. The sleeve 33, which is connected to the valve spindle, slides over the sleeve 14 and prevents water from leaking past the spindle. A helical spring 36 tends to keep the valve closed. In a modification, the valve is applied to a bath, the method of working being the same.

Title: Improvements in Protective Devices for Electrical Systems and Apparatus or Conductors.
Filed: 1907-12-09
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 27,222. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 9. Safety apparatus for use with electric conductors; lightning - arresters. - In a protective device for electric distribution systems in which the conductor is earthed through a spark-gap, the formation of an arc at the spark-gap is prevented by causing a flow of air, nitrogen, or other insulating-fluid through the spark-gap at a greater velocity than that at which the vapour from the electrode moves across the gap. The jet of fluid should be arranged to carry the vapour from the negative electrode away from the gap, and in order that this condition may always be fulfilled, two spark-gaps are arranged in series and the jet of fluid is caused to flow in different directions in the two gaps. The Figure shows the application of the invention to a three-phase system, the conductors of which are connected by the wires 21 to the spark-gaps 3 and metal reservoir 14, which is earthed through a fourth spark-gap 3<1>. The compressor 9 causes a circulation of fluid through the reservoirs 11, 14, 19, 6 and drying - chamber 7, the fluid passing through the spark-gap 3<1> in the opposite direction to that in which it passes through the spark-gaps 3.

Title: An Impoved Process for Making Dense and Uniform Castings from Copper and Copper Alloys.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1908-01-07
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 419. Thompson, W. P., [Laboratorium f³r Chemische Feuerschutz und L÷schmittel C. Gautsch Ges.]. Jan. 7. Casting.-To obtain dense and uniform castings of copper or copper alloys and to allow the addition of large quantities of iron or steel to such alloys without the addition of zinc or aluminium or other metal having an affinity for oxygen, or of nickel, sodium or potassium-bicarbonate or a mixture of both is added to the charge, preferably in two portions, one before and one after the metal becomes molten. By this means, oxides of copper are removed to the slag. Carbon dioxide is evolved and mixes the mass. This mixing is increased by the addition of a large percentage of ammonium bicarbonate to the portion added after melting the charge, without increasing the slag. The added mixture renders the charge more fluid, and additions of steel and the like are homogeneously absorbed.
