Title: Improvements in Compound Engines applicable to Rock-drilling Machines, Locomotives, or Hauling or Mill Engines and the like.
Inventor: WATSON JAMES
Filed: 1898-05-26
Granted: 1899-02-04
Abstract: 12,002. Watson, J. May 26. Compound engines.-Relates to compound engines consisting essentially of a high-pressure cylinder, with stationary piston arranged within a low-pressure cylinder and acting as its piston. The engines may be applied to rock-drilling machines, locomotives, hauling or mill engines, and the like. The Figure shows the invention applied to a rock-drilling machine. The high-pressure cylinder A is enclosed bv the low-pressure cylinder B, and has its piston C stationary. An external annular recess g serves as the valve-chest for the high-pressure cylinder, and has suitable inlet and exhaust ports j, j<1>, k, k<1> arranged therein, and communicates with the main feed-port a. The high-pressure valve H, preferably of the piston type, within the valve-chest g controls the ports communicating with either side of the piston. The valve H is guided bv a projection from the cylinder A engaging with the central slot h<3>. The exhaust ports k, k<1> place the high and low pressure cylinders in communication. The exhaust valve l within the chamber L controls the ports of the low-pressure cylinder. Small longitudinal grooves n, n<1> admit high-pressure fluid behind the piston to assist cushioning and ensure the proper working of the valve H. The drill bar G is connected with the reciprocating cylinder A, and may be given the requisite rotary motion by inclining the exhaust port k, or by the usual ratchet and rifle bar arrangement.

Title: Improvements in Hinges for Doors, French Windows, and the like.
Inventor: MAUSER ALFONS
Filed: 1898-11-18
Granted: 1899-01-14
Abstract: 24,405. Mauser, A. Nov. 18. Hinges. -Relates to pin-and-socket hinges for doors, French windows, and the like, designed to facilitate hanging. In the example shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the pin B fixed to the frame has a taper point b, and corresponding to this is a recess or notch a cut out of the side of the socket A. In hanging the door or French window, the recess a is pushed over the point b till the socket drops on the pin. In another form, the pin is not tapered at the point, and the recess a is the full width of the socket. In the latter case, a loose intermediate socket may be first slipped over the pivot, to fill up the recess a and make the bearing- surface of the socket complete. Projections are used to keep the intermediate socket in the correct position to fit on to the main socket when the door &c. is hung.

Title: Improved Means for Securing Pneumatic Tyres on Wheel-rims.
Inventor: COLLIER ARTHUR THOMAS
Filed: 1898-12-13
Granted: 1899-10-21
Abstract: 26,283. Collier, A. T. Dec. 13. Types, pneumatic.-Means for attaching an outer cover to the rim are shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in Pulley Blocks.
Inventor: MORK HEINRICH
Filed: 1899-01-31
Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 2184. Mork, H. Jan. 31. Pulley-blocks. - Relates to an arrangement for disconnecting the chain-wheel from the driving-gear so as to allow of a quick adjustment of the lifting - hook. The hand - wheel k a n d driving-worm s are mounted in a frame g pivoted about an axle a. By pulling on the lever h, therefore, the frame g is tilted, and the worm s and chainwheel are disengaged. One end of the lifting- chain is attached to a depending arm l, so that the frame g cannot be tilted when a load is suspended. A friction disc e is placed between a loose collar i on the shaft band the fixed cross-bar g'. The collar i engages clutch-wise with the hub of the hand-wheel k, so that, when the power is taken off the hand-wheel, the load in running down tends to jam the collar i against the disc e, which thus acts as a brake.

Abstract: 11,883. Gessner, E. June 7. Lap-forming apparatus. -The fleece from a carding-engine is divided into sections of equal length, which are laid in succession upon a travelling apron I and formed into a lap. The apparatus comprises a revolving and verticallyoscillating balanced frame A, carrying at each end teeth E and also hinged plates F with teeth on their free edges. The plates F are hinged at f, and are perforated at f<1> to accommodate the teeth E. As the frame A revolves, the plates F fall alternately as shown, thereby separating the section of fleece on the plate from the main body thereof fed by the apron W, and laying it on to the apron I. The fleece is simultaneously stripped from the teeth E, which are in the lowest position, by the edges of the apertures f<1>, The frame is rotated by the gearing 1, 2, and oscillated about the axle D by the cam G resting on the roller H. The teeth E may be arranged to slide in the frame, and be withdrawn for stripping purposes by springs and protruded by means of cams. Or the plates F may have both edges provided with teeth, the teeth nearest the hinge being stripped at the proper time by a sliding spring flap.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Winches for Hoisting and Lowering Boats or other Loads.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
Filed: 1899-07-15
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 14,638. Dawson, A. T., and Horne, J. July 15. Winches.-Relates to hydraulic apparatus for (1) releasing the band brake of hydraulic winches and (2) releasing the barrel for lowering. The ends of the band brake k, Fig. 2, are attached to one end of a lever l, the other end of which is connected to a rod and piston m, working in a cylinder p. The piston m is normally forced to the right, to keep the brake on, by a spring n. To release the brake, water is admitted to the cylinder by a valve which does not act until the engine is started to raise the load, and the pressure is sufficient to do so. As shown in Fig. 6, the barrel g is connected to the brake drum by a friction clutch, which is kept normally in action by a spring w, but which may be released by the admission of water under pressure to an end cylinder.

Abstract: 13,041. Debrosse, E. May 9, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Sea-calming by discharging oil.-Oil is discharged from a boat when being launched or at other times by compressed air or by liquefied carbonic acid. Figs. 1 and 2 show an apparatus using compressed air as fitted in each end of the boat. The oil is contained in vessels D, and is expelled through pipes G, H, by air compressed into tanks A, by a pump B. Cocks i control the supply of air to the vessels D, from which the exit of oil is controlled by cocks F. When carbonic acid is used instead of air, a reservoir containing it in the liquid form replaces the pump B.
