Patent GB-190507203-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved System of Lining Railway and other Tubular Tunnels
Inventor: BENNETT ALFRED ROSLING
Filed: 1905-04-05
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 7203. Bennett, A. R., and Twining, E. W. April 5. Bricks.-Relates to the lining of tubular tunnels, constructed of cast-iron segments which have inwardly-projecting flanges. The rectangular spaces formed by these flanges are each lined with a system of three hollow, glazed bricks B', C, B, the outer bricks B', B being formed with perforations H to fit over the bolt heads J. The inner faces of the outer bricks are formed so as to be parallel when fixed in position, the back edges of the middle brick C being made so as just to pass between them, as shown in Fig 1, so that the cement forms wedges to prevent the bricks from being drawn out. In fixing, about an eighth of an inch of mortar or cement is spread over the ends of the iron segments as a bed for the bricks B', B, which are supported while the locking-brick C is passed between them and held in position by wedges. The joints are then filled with cement, mortar, bitumen, &c. by some suitable device, one such being shown in Fig. 5, where the cement &c. is placed in a case K, and forced into the joint by a ram M. Instead of cement &c. being used, the joints may be filled with wood, felt, &c., which may be first dipped in melted bitumen &c.

Patent GB-190519915-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Applying a Covering to Wires or the like.
Inventor: ADAM MATTHEW ATKINSON
IPC: H01B13/12
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 19,915. Adam, M. A., [Downes, L. W.]. Oct. 3. Wire and other cores, covering by winding.- Relates to a machine for applying a covering of untwisted fibre, such as asbestos sliver, to a wire or the like. The core to be covered is first passed through adhesive material and then through the centie of a rotary carrier-plate where a layer of carded asbestos is applied to its sticky surface by a carding-wheel, which rotates with the carrier and simultaneously on its own axis so that it rolls round the core. The sliver is thus fed and applied to the core without being subjected to any appreciable longitudinal pull or strain ; the loose covering is afterwards compressed into a thin adherent fabric by any suitable apparatus. In the machine shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the core 31 passes upwards through adhesive material 32, and through the centre of the rotating plate 33 carrying the carding-wheel 65 by which the fibrous covering is applied, and after being coiled a few turns round a. large drum 30 passes off to a suitable finishing-apparatus. The carrier-plate 33 and the drum 30 are both driven from a pulley 15 through suitable trains of gearing. A fixed worm 41 below the carrier-plate engages with a worm-wheel 46 on a shaft 45, Fig. 4, carried by bearings fixed to the underside of the carrier-plate. A wheel 61 on the other end of the shaft 45 drives the carding-wheel 65 through a wheel 59, worm 60, and worm-wheel 63. The carding-wheel and gearing connecting it to the shaft 45 are carried by a bearing-block 47, Fig. 5, secured by bolts 55, 56 to the carrier-plate so as to admit of being adjusted for different sizes of wire ; the supporting arm 67 is adjusted to correspond by means of a bolt 68. The slivers are fed from cops or bobbins 83, 84 and received intermittently by the carding-wheel 65 as it passes. A modified arrangement is described for transferring the sliver from a fixed bobbin to a wheel rolling round the core in the same manner as the wheel in the first machine. Fig. 17 shows another modifled form of machine in which the supply of the fibre is carried by the rotating carrier-plate in a chamber or hopper 260, from which it is fed through carding-wheels and finally lapped round the core by an endless carding - belt 250. A shield - plate 266 prevents fibre other than that delivered by the belt 250 from coming into contact with the sticky core.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gyroscopes
Inventor: ACH NARCISS
Filed: 1906-10-19
Granted: 1907-11-19
Abstract: 23,213. Ach, N. Oct. 19. Gyroscopic apparatus. - Relates to means for securing invariability of the axis of rotation of a gyroscope, notwithstanding the movements of the carrier. The gyroscope, suspended in gimbals, is carried by a platform mounted on a vertical shaft 6 adapted to be rotated in either direction by worm gear from one or other of two motors 11, 12 on the worm shaft, the supporting-platform 5 of the latter being maintained horizontal by a doubleacting pump 2 suitably controlled by known means. The rotation of the upper platform is effected when a rotation of the outer gimbal ring 16 relative thereto alters the distance between a contact 31 caused by the ring, and a contact 34 fixed to the platform in the liquid resistance 33, so as to actuate the motor 11 or 12 by means of the circuits shown from a battery 13. To reduce the effect of friction, the ring 16 is carried on bearings 19, 20 rotated in opposite direction by a shaft 24 and motor 26 carried by the platform. Tilting of the inner ring due to precession raises one of the contact-pieces 55, 56 attached thereto from the mercury in a vessel 53, thus interrupting the circuit from a battery 51 in one or other of the coils 49, 50 carried by the ring 35 so as to displace the core 52 in order to restore the ring to position. Unequal pressure on the bearings of the spinning axle 36 is prevented by supporting the axle at one or both ends by means of ball bearings on links 41, pivoted to the ring 35 and pressed by springs 43 tbereon. In a modification, an iron core 52, Fig. 3, carried by the ring 35 may work in coils carried by the outer ring 16, and is similarly energized on inclination of the inner ring. The gyroscope is driven by a polyphase induction motor, the coils 47 of which are carried by the ring 35 and encircle the induced members 48 attached to the axle 36. Instead of the motors 11, 12 for operating the platform, the latter may carry a controlling gyroscope. The heavy rim of the gyroscope 45 is in the form of a ring, hollow or having cavities, and filled with heavy fluid or granular material, such as mercury or iron filings; or heavy bodies may be attached by wires to the axle 36 so as to form a gyroscope with less weight on the bearings.

Abstract: 2506. Hesse, M., and Klatt, P., [trading as Kuhl & Klatt]. Jan. 31. - Musical instruments ; displaying announcements &c.-In coin-freed musical instruments operated pneumatically by a perforated note sheet moving past orifices, at the termination of each piece the forward movement of the sheet brings apertures into temporary coincidence with passages communicating with a pair of auxiliary bellows, the resultant movement of which displaces a contact bar to momentarily close the circuit of an electromagnet 19, Fig. 3. A spring-controlled armature 12 then draws down a guided toothed bar 1, against the action of a spring barrel 5, by means of a pawl 6, thereby lowering a pointer 10 to the next division of the sheet &c. 11 on which are displayed the titles &c. of the music. In its lowest position, a pin 17 on the toothed bar operates a lever 15, pins 15<1>, 15<2> on which throw the pawl 6 and detent 8 out of engagement with the bar ; the spring 5 then returns it to its highest position, determined by a stop 2, the pin 16 restoring the lever 15. Alternatively, the toothed bar may be attached directly to the announcement sheet, the different divisions of which may be brought in turn before an aperture in the casing. Signals.-To indicate that the music sheet is being rewound, apertures at the beginning and end of the music sheet are adapted to coincide with passages leading to a second pair of auxiliary bellows g, h, Fig. 1 ; the consequent oscillations of the cheeks g', h<1>, at the commencement and conclusion of the winding, rock the rod i to close and open the circuit of an electro magnet e, the armature d of which is adapted to raise a suitable signal a behind an aperture in the case f. Money shoots ; returning coin.-During the winding, the rod also closes the circuit of the electromagnet s<1>, Fig. 2, thereby rocking the armature lever p' to throw the movable portion m<1> of the shoot m into position to direct any coin that may be inserted into the branch shoot n, and thence into the exposed trough t.
