Abstract: 23,863. Esser, J. Nov. 20. Indicators, station, stopping place, and like. -Relates to an advertising-device in connexion with the station indicator described in Specification No. 27,217, A.D. 1904. The names of the stations are displayed on a series of bands 66, wound on rollers 64,65 and operated by electro - magnetic means controlled by the conductor as described in the above-mentioned Specification. To one end plate k of . this apparatus is attached an electro-magnet m, similar to those used to operate the bands 66. The armature of this magnet is carried by a lever pivoted to the frame k and controlled by a spring e and a stop n. A long pawl h, pivoted to the lever l, engages a ratchetwheel g on a shaft f below the partition a, which divides the indicator from the advertising-apparatus.. Upon the shaft f are mounted disks b, from which hang cards or plates c, carrying the advertisements.

Title: Ironing Machine.
Inventor: ANDREE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1906-05-30
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 12,591. Andree, W. E. May 30. Ironing-machines. -The ironing-surfaces consist of a pair of concave steam-chests, extending over rather more than a semicircle, against each of which shirt cuffs, neck-bands, &c. are pressed by a pair of padded blocks, pivoted together and preferably perforated at 21, and having their outer surfaces curved and their inner surfaces adapted to engage a wedge block. The wedge block may carry a pair of antifriction rollers in its faces, and the padded blocks are e connected by a spring 28 so that they are released from the bed when the wedge is retracted. The wedge block is carried by a rod 31 suppotted on an arm 32 which swings in a bracket on the standard, and the arm is supported by an extensible rod 34 in two parts connected by a turn buckle 47 pivoted at 35 to one arm of a bell-crank lever, the other arm of which is a pedal 38. Beside this pedal is a pedal 39, the two resting on the ends of a lever 40, so that the pedal 38 may be raised by depressing the other and may thus, by deflecting the joint 35, lower the padded blocks. The pressure over the pad is made uniform by means of a rod 41 which slides through bracket arms 42, 43 and is pivoted to the pin 21. Pressure-adjusting springs 44, 45 extend around the rod, from the bracket 42 to the head of the rod and to an adjustable collar 46. The ends of the compression blocks may be closed by cheeks held on threaded rods, and further kept in place by a stud screwed into the end of the pivot 21. A chain 55 connects the head of the rod 41 with a bracket arm 56 extending from the cross-piece 17, through the medium of a pivoted arm 57 from which an adjustable lateral arm 58 extends ; the chain may thus be lengthened when it is desired to renew the padding of the blocks. The upward movement of the arm 38 is limited by a lateral arm projecting laterally from the pedal 38 and interlocking with the pedal 39. A work-table 61 and cups 63, 64 are provided.

Title: Improvements in an Automatic System for Balancing and Controlling Torpedoes, and the like.
Inventor: GIBON THEODOR
Filed: 1906-06-19
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 14,003. Gibon, T. June 19. Propelling; steering.-Relates to means for propelling and balancing torpedoes, submarine boats, and aeroplanes by jets of fluid. The invention is shown as applied to a torpedo. Water is pumped by a pump P, Fig. 1, through pipes P<1>, P<2> to a distributing-valve R', shown in vertical section in Fig. 5, whence it passes through four flexible tubes 1, 2, &c. arranged at right-angles to one another to "spreaders" S. Pipes 1<a>, 1<b>, 1<c>, 1<d>, 2<a>, 2<b>, &c. conduct the water from each spreader to rearwardly-inclined nozzles c in the outer walls of the torpedo, four nozzles, two in the upper side and two in the underside, diagonally opposed, being thus fed by each of the conduits 1, 2, &c. In the event of the torpedo rolling or pitching, a plate R<2> is tilted by a pendulum A so that its edge r<2> nips one or more of the flexible pipes 1, 2, &c. and so cuts off the water supply to the corresponding nozzles. The turning moment thus produced restores the torpedo to its normal position. Diving-rudders B are mounted at the forward end of the torpedo.

Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 345. Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik. Feb. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ordnance breech mechanism. -T h e breech is opened automatically, at the end of the recoil, or during the counter - recoil. Fig. 14 is a side elevation and Fig. 16 a plan of one arrangement for a wedge - breech mechanism. The end g of the locking-catch f of the operating-lever a is engaged, when the breech is closed, in a groove e<1>, parallel to the axis of the gun, in a non-recoiling bracket d. During the recoil, the pin g slides in the groove and is raised by the inclined rear end thereof into the inoperative position. When the gun runs out, the pin enters the curved slot h in the bracket d, and the breech is opened. In a modification, the breech is opened by a spiral spring as soon as the pin g becomes disengaged from the groove e<1>. The rear end of the bracket d may be hinged at c, so that it may be turned down when non-automatic action is desired. Fig. 12 shows in plan, a screw breech mechanism adapted to be actuated in a similar manner to the above. A pinion k on the lower end of the breechactuating shaft gears with a toothed sector l pivoted to a bracket m on the gun.

Title: Improved Method and Means for the Detection and Estimation of Impurities and Dissolved Matter in Water and other Fluids.
Inventor: DIGBY WILLIAM POLLARD
Filed: 1907-10-26
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 23,706. Digby, W. P., and Biggs, C. W. V. Oct. 26. Resistance meters; resistances.-The dissolved matters in water &c. are estimated by measuring the electric conductivity in an apparatus the electrodes and current path of which are adjustable. The voltage used is sufficiently high and the current sufficiently low to make the back electromotive force and the quantity of gaseous products negligible. The proportion of length to area of the conductivity tube is such that it gives a very large resistance compared with the parts immediately around the electrodes. The electrodes of the glass tube a, Fig. 1, containing water &c. are connected to a small hand dynamo or other source of current g and a conductivity indicator m, which may be an ohm-meter graduated to read in units of conductance or resistance. The liquid enters the tube a by a funnel f and may pass out continuously by overflow pipes o. The electrode e, Fig. 2, is a short tube of platinum foil supported by platinum wires w which pass through a glass tube j to a threaded brass rod s, which is screwed through a brass cap band can be clamped by a ring r. The modified form of apparatus shown in Fig. 3 consists of a tube a closed by conical plugs b of ebonite &c., through which pass screwed rods s of ebonite &c. Electrodes e, at the ends of the rods, are joined to a brass piece k by a platinum wire w. The gas evolved leaves at the tubes v, which prevent any tendency to siphon-off at the tubes o. The ratio of the effective length to the area of the tube is adjusted to have a convenient value, such as a multiple of 10, by adjusting the electrodes or a sliding glass rod s, Fig. 4, the electrodes remaining fixed. The apparatus may be standardized by filling with a liquid, such as a solution of sodium chloride, of which the conductivity is known, and adjusting the electrodes until the conductance between them has the correct value.
