Patent GB-190501590-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines
Filed: 1905-01-26
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 1590. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Samuelson, F. Jan. 26. Stop-gear.-The lubricating-fluid used in an elastic - fluid turbine is regulated by the governor and used to open the nozzle valves. Any failure in the supply of lubricant causes the valves to be closed by steam pressure. The nozzle valve 9 is operated by a double piston 11 with an intermediate non-conducting portion. The piston is acted on by the steam pressure on the valve side, and on the other side by the governor-regulated pressure of the lubricating- fluid. If the lubricant fails, the steam pressure closes the valve.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of Railway and other Vehicle Bodies.
Filed: 1905-06-06
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 11,885. Leeds Forge Co., and Rowntree, E. de H. June 6. Bodies.-To obtain a light construction with a maximum inside width of vehicle, the side sheeting of railway and other vehicles is secured on the outer faces of stanchions of channel -section with wide flanges. Figs. 1 and 2 show in elevation and section a construction of which Figs. 3 and 4 are sections. The stanchion b, which may taper as shown, is trebly channelled at the bottom, where it is riveted to the sole-bar a. The sheeting d is riveted to the outer side of the flanges b<1> and may carry at the top an angle-iron capping directed outwardly, as shown, or inwardly. The flooring e may be connected to the sheeting and stanchions by flanging either of them, or angle-bars or knees may be used. Fig. 9 shows a section taken similarly to Fig. 4 of a form of stanchion consisting of a single outwardly-directed channel of width sufficient to take two rows of rivets for attaching it to the solebar. Fig. 13 shows in similar view, and Fig. 12 in side elevation, a curved channel which is secured to the lower flange of the sole-bar and carries the floor by an internal angle-iron, which may be, however, placed externally as shown in dotted lines.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Preventing Train Robberies
Inventor: PILLSBURY JOHN COLBY
Filed: 1905-07-07
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 14,039. Pillsbury, J. C. July 7. Locomotives.-A locomotive and its tender are provided with a series of pipes with nozzles, connected to the boiler by a valve controlled by the driver, the object being to protect the train against attack.

Patent GB-190522309-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gill Frames for Preparing or Spinning Flax, Tow, Ramie, Jute or other like Fibres
Inventor: EVANS JOHN
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 22,309. Evans, J. Nov. 1. Gill boxes or frames; stop-motions.-The shearing of the driving-pin for the back shaft when the fallers are obstructed causes a trip-gear to be Operated, whereby the driving-clutch is disconnected, instead of the belt shiftad as described in Specification No. 12,042, A.D: 1904, breakage of the slivers being thus prevented. The main shaft, or a main driving-wheel F, Fig. 2, thereonis driven from the belt pulley E through a clutch E', and drives through the usual gearing a draft wheel A mounted on the back shaft B, Fig. 5, and driving such shaft, in 'one arrangement, through a shear pin. An internally-toothed ratchet-wheel D is loosely mounted on a plate H, which is secured to the boss of the wheel A and cut away at one part to receive a pivoted pawl M and a pivoted bell-crank K engaging the forked tail end of the pawl and a groove in the shaft B. In case of obstruction, the shear pin fails and the shaft B stops, and the continued rotation of the wheel A causes the bell-crank K in escaping from the groove in the shaft B to move the pawl M into engagement with the ratchet-wheel D, whereby this wheel is carried round, a lug X on it acting immediately through links and bell-cranks to disengage the driving-clutch E'. A friction clutch may replace the pawl and ratchet. In another arrangement, the lug may operate a pivoted lever to release a weighted arm on the rod of the clutch lever, the weight then acting to stop the machine. In another trip-gear, applicable when the draft wheel drives the back shaft B, Fig. 7, through a spring pin b<1>, the arrest of the shaft, due to obstruction, causes the pin to rise out of its notch b<2> and engage a spring-controlled pivoted pawl M with the ratchet-wheel D, this wheel being then carried round with the draft wheel and acting to stop the machine as before. The trip motion may be taken from any other part of the machine which is arrested by obstruction of the tailors.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording and Indicating Cash and other Transactions.
Filed: 1905-11-02
Granted: 1906-11-02
Abstract: 22,416. Checkogram, Ltd., Wells, A. E., Fairer, A. R., and Kelly, A. R. Nov. 2. Receipts, checking and recording; counting-apparatus.-In apparatus of the type in which the indicating - w h e e l s and counting and printing mechanism are operated by levers a c t u a t i n g toothed racks, together with means for operating a distant electric i n d i - cator, each monetaryvalue lever E, Fig. 4, actuates a quadrant e meshing with a pinion e<1> attached to the corresponding printing-wheel E<1>, Fig. 5, and driving, by ratchet gear d<4>, d<5>, as shown in Fig. 6 for another monetary-value wheel d' the numeral wheel E<2>, Fig. 5, of the totalizing counter apparatus B<2>, C<2>, D<2>, E<2>. The transfer mechanism consists of a pair of spring-governed arms o, o<1>, Fig. 6, the latter of which carries a pawl o<2> which moves on the next ratchet, when the arm o drops into a recess d<7> in the wheel d<6> carried by the ratchet d<5>. Each lever E operates by a pivoted rack h corresponding wheels in an indicator H for exhibiting the amount to the purchaser. The return of the levers is effected by springs g<1> on depression of a lever G, similar to the printing-lever K, which releases the retaining-pawls g engaging the extended rear ends E<x> of the quadrant-carrying arms. The typewheels are surrounded by an ink ribbon L carried on guide-roller; e, and the printing is effected by a spring k<2> which throws up the lever K carrying the striking surface k<1>. The lever K is depressed a second time to record on a paper strip I fed forward by a ratchet k, or a second ink ribbon may be arranged so that one application of the printing-lever effects both operations. A dating- mechanism may be fitted to print simultaneously. For effecting the distant indication, each lever is fitted with an arc M having alternate conducting and non-conducting blocks and held up to the lever by a spring m<2>, or the arc may be secured to the lever. The circuit is completed through a contact m<3>. The contact-wheels M are put out of circuit, during the return of the levers, by the releasing-lever G engaging a lever P which opens the switch Q. A cash-drawer may be opened by the releasing-lever G, or by the printing-lever K, and the return movement of the drawer may effect the printing on the tape and the release of the operating-levers. The latter are arrested at the value indications by means of spring-dontroUed plungers N or the like, adapted to engage projections ex on the levers.

Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 15,159. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Turner, F. July 3. Sights, and methods of sighting. - Relates to apparatus for sighting ship's guns from a central station. Two electric motors mounted on the gun are geared, respectively, to the elevation and deflexion gears of the sights, and are connected, in the manner described in Specification No. 8362, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Dynamo-electric generators &c.], with corresponding motors at the central station so as to run synchronously therewith. The central station motors are controlled by switches of the kind described, in Specification No. 13,567, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c,), which are constructed so that when the switch is turned, the motor performs a number of revolutions depending upon the angle through which the switch is displaced., Figs. 1 and 2 show, respectively, a part-sectional side elevation and plan of the central station switches for controlling the sight-elevating motor a and deflexion motor a<1>. Each switch consists of a handwheel n and shaft e, e<1> by means of which a bevel-gear e<2> is rotated and the pinion h<2> is caused to run on the stationary gearwheel g mounted upon a shaft g', thus rotating the casing h<1> which carries the movable contacts i, i<1>, i<2>, i<3>, i<4>, and starting the motor. Gearing m<2>, m<1>, m, g<2> connects the motor with the gear-wheel g and drives the casing h<1> in the reverse direction, the motor being thus stopped after a given number of revolutions. The shafts e are connected by suitable gearing with the range dial c and deflexion dial d.
