Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 18,377. Howorth, F. W., [Smit & Zoon, L.]. Aug. 25. Dredgers; barges. -Relates to dredgers, hopper barges, and like vessels for conveying watery spoil, such as light sand, and consists in a method of separating and removing the water from the sand during dredging operations by allowing the sand to settle in one compartment of the vessel and drawing-off the supernatant water by means of flexible pipes. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation and Fig. 2 a cross-section of a vessel fitted as described in Specification No. 5139, A.D. 1895, with bottom ducts formed by a double bottom b, c. The hold is divided into compartments e by a bulkhead d, which is lower than the sides of the vessel to allow the spoil to flow from one compartment into the other instead of over the side in the case of overflowing. The pipes f, fixed to the box keelson u, which is in communication with the outside water, are surmounted by the flexible pipes g, which may be raised and lowered to allow the supernatant liquid to flow away. Pipes l are arranged over the compartments and carry the spoil. They are provided with apertures n, and these apertures are arranged in different angular positions on the pipes for the different compartments, so that, when one compartment is filled with sand and water, the pipes are rotated by gearing, and cover the orifices of that compartment under fixed plates s. By this means, as the sand in one compartment is settling, another compartment is being filled.

Granted: 1905-01-28
Abstract: 2176. Soc. Anon. des Moteurs et Automobiles "Herald." July 15, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Oil or alcohol is fed from a float-controlled chamber A to the nozzle F which is surrounded by a casing G. The liquid is sprayed against the end k of an adjustable rod L and mixes with air entering through holes H in the base on either side of the nozzle and the mixture escapes from the chamber I through the outlet O. A supplementary supply of air which varies with the speed of the engine enters through the openings j, l. The vacuum beneath the flange k<2> of a cylinder K depresses it against the resistance of a spring u and of the air entrapped between the flanges k<1>, k<2>, k<3> and when the current is very strong the cylinder K sinks past an adjustable plate n and allows the current of air entering through the openings l to increase. The chamber I is heated by an exhaust jacket R. A tube M surrounds the end of the rod L.

Title: Improvements in and in Controlling Alternating Current Motors
Filed: 1904-02-12
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 3588. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 12. Motors, controlling.- The speed of an alternating-current motor, the secondary member R of which is provided with a pair of shortcircuiting brushes b, b and with a second pair of brushes b<1>, b<1> displaced 90 electrical degrees from the first set, is controlled either by increasing the voltage impressed upon the field terminals a, a, or by decreasing the voltage impressed upon the brushes b<1>, b<1>, or by varying both simultaneously. The controlling-apparatus comprises a compensator or other voltage-regulating device C, a controller D, and a reversing-switch E. At starting, the full line voltage is impressed upon the brushes b<1>, b<1>, and the voltage of one section of the compensator upon the terminals a, a. As the contacts g<1> to g<12> are moved over the stationary contact-fingers f<1> to f <9>, the number of sections of the compensator in the circuit of the brushes b<1>, b<1> is increased, while the number in the field circuit is reduced, and the speed of the motor accordingly increases. The motor is reversed by reversing the relative connections of the brushes b<1>, b<1> or the terminals a, a. A number of motors may be controlled in a similar manner from a single point at a distance from them, as, for example, upon a car or train.

Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 4914. Walmsley, W. E. Feb. 29. Paper, cardboard, and lake folding boxes.-An incision is formed in one of the flaps C, Fig. 1, of a collapsable cardboard box A, for containing flour, seed, granular or pulverent material, &c., in order to form a tongue G, which engages the opposite flap E and thereby prevents the flaps from bending inwards. The remaining flaps F, D may be pasted down as usual or otherwise secured. In a modification, a turned-down part H, Fig. 2, on the flap F engages a tongue K similar to the tongue G. In this case, the flap F may be folded down first so as to form a support for the other flaps which may be pasted down. The invention may be applied to either or both of the ends or sides.

Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 7877. Wilson, F. r. April 5. Moulding artificial stone.-Relates, principally, to the arrangement of moulds and the general mechanism in artificial-stone presses. The sides B, B', Fig. 1, and the ends C, C<1> of the mould are mounted on slides D, D<1> and F, F', reciprocating in grooves of the mould-base H and strengthened by braces E, E<1> and G, G<1>. The hollow worm L, Fig. 2, engages with the bar S connected to sidebars T, Fig. 3, and actuates (1) the sides, by means of cams U taking into oblique grooves U<1> in the slides D, D<1>, and (2) the ends, by means of pivoted levers V engaging by pin-and-slot connections the bars T at one end, and the slide F<1> at the other. The ends thus move at the same time as, but much faster than, the sides, admitting of substantial alteration in the length of a brick not affecting the width. Tapered cores a connected to the plate A' are actuated by eccentrics c on a shaft M passing through the worm L. The cores, instead of lowering may be contractible and consist of two parts e, f, Figs. 7 and 8, engading a central member actuated by the eccentrics. The two kinds of cores may be combined, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the shaft M then having two sets of eccentrics. An ejecting-plate h, resting on the mould-base H, is connected by pins to a bar k, so that it can be raised by the mechanism shown, consisting of worm-and-wheel gearing and arms l taking into slots in the bar k. Distance-pieces s and half-cores a<1> may be connected to the end-platen C, C', and the ends may be adjusted by bolts u and sockets t. Facing-plates Y and partition plates Z can be used in the mould. Plates O, P, A, and the casing r, serve to keep dust from the mechanism.
