Abstract: 8388. Seward, T., Smith, T., and Skelton, H. April 19. Air, filtering &c. -In the type of apparatus for filtering, cleansing, aromatizing, or disinfecting air to be supplied to, or passing out from, hospitals, theatres, factories, or other buildings or enclosures, in which the air is drawn through a travelling screen to which water, pure or charged with disinfectant or perfume, is supplied, the e lower roller 3 is mounted in vertical slots 18, Fig. 4, in brackets 19 upon the bottom of the trough 4 ; the screen may comprise two or more widths such as 1, 1<a> each passing round a separate bottom roller, while a stationary brush 9 set at an angle removes particles adhering to the screen. The horsehair-cloth or other screen, driven from the upper roller 2, passes through the trough, through which water continually flows, and the air, drawn in through an opening 25 by a fan 6, is forced to pass entirely through the screen by partitions 22, 23, 24. The particles removed by the brush fall into the trough and pass away with the water or are taken out from time to time. A grooved transverse plate or bar 20 is mounted between the sections of the screen. To prevent freezing or for raising the temperature of the air, heating coils or tubes may be arranged near the screen.

Abstract: 697. Leslie, Sir B. Jan. 10. Rail joints; chairs; chair keys and wedges; rails. -The rail ends are secured by tapered cotters or keys to a joint-trough which may be suspended, or spiked to the sleepers. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a suspended joint. The H-shaped joint trough supports the base of the rail, and tapered cotters d pass through perforations e, f in the rail web, and in the upwardly - extending flanges c<1> of the joint trough. Tapered -wedges g rest on the base flanges of the rail, and form a bearing-surface for the underside of the cotters d. Downwardly - extending strengthening- flanges c<2> and a central transverse strengthening-rib c<3> are added in this case to the joint-trough. Fig. 4 shows a joint trough or chair used when the joint is made at a sleeper. The downwardly. extending strengthening-flanges are omitted, and the horizontal member h is extended laterally and secured to the sleepers by spikes or fang. bolts i. The rail, in this case, is rolled with a rectangular base flange to avoid the use of the wedges g. In each case, the slots in the rail web and the jointtrough are made long enough to allow the rails to expand longitudinally. The joint troughs may be formed of rolled trough bars.

Title: Improved Means for Effecting the Engagement and Disengagement of the Friction Clutches of Printing Presses, Stamping Presses, and Die Presses.
Inventor: ROCKSTROH MAX
Filed: 1906-10-18
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 23,110. Rockstroh, M. Oct. 18. Stopping and starting apparatus.-The frictionclutch mechanism for driving and stopping printing, stamping, die, and like presses is so arranged that, when the clutch is in engagement, the parts holding it are in unstable equilibrium, and the exertion thereon of slight pressure upsets the equilibrium and disengages the clutch. This disengagement may be effected at will, or automatically by the pressure of the workmen's hand against a safety or. protecting rod. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the movable part i of the clutch is moved by a forked lever h connected to a rod c pressed by a spring e towards the right, in the direction to disengage the clutch. The rod c is moved to the left, to engage the clutch, by a link b connecting it to the short-arm a<1> of the operating-lever a. When the lever a is moved to the left to the engagement position, the arm a<1> and link b are in a straight line and in unstable equilibrium. Fig. 3 shows a modification, in which the rod c is moved by an arm n, pivoted at p and having a roller o moved by a camnose m<1> on a lever m on the same pivot as the lever a. A pin k connects the levers a, m, or the cam may be integral with the lever a. When the clutch is engaged, the roller o rests on the highest point of the cam ml and the parts are in unstable equilibrium.

Filed: 1907-02-23
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 4468. Hirst, H., and White, S. D. Feb. 23. Alarms, burglar. -A burglar-alarm system, particularly applicable for protecting safes, comprises a battery B of unusually low voltage, placed inside the safe A and connected to normally closed door contacts C, and through wire screens D close to the safe walls and door to relays F, G. By means of a switch H, the coils of the relays F, G can be connected across the leads E, the circuit of the leads being completed through the contacts K of the relay F. The relay G is sufficiently energized by the low-voltage battery to retain its armature. In operation, the switch H is closed, and the armature of the relay G is placed by hand up to the poles of the electromagnet. If a battery of higher voltage is then connected to the leads E in order to hold up the armature of relay G, the armature of the relay F is attracted, breaking the circuit of relay G, the armature of which completes at L the bell circuit I, J, H, L. If the leads E are cut or shortcircuited, the bell I rings. In a modification, the relay F is arranged to short-circuit the relay G.
