Patent GB-190403385-A (GB)
Title: Improved Automatic Telegraph Transmitter.
Inventor: MURRAY DONALD
Filed: 1904-02-11
Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 3385. Murray, D. Feb. 11. Telegraphs.-Relates to apparatus for re-transmitting messages, which have been received upon a perforated strip with a single line of signal perforations, as described in Specification No. 10,142, A.D. 1900. The character of the impulse sent to the line depends upon whether a reciprocating rod enters one of the perforations, or strikes the tape between successive perforations. The contact lever 7, Fig. 1, has pivoted to it two converging thrust-bars 17, 18, each separated into two parts by insulating-pieces, and lightly pressed by the springs 20, 21 against the roller 19. The ends of the line are recessed to receive the end 47 of a lever 23 which is reciprocated under the action of the tape 36. The eccentric wheel 33 revolves once for each tooth of the star-wheel 35, and, by means of the connecting-rod 31 and the flat spring 30, causes the upright lever 27 to oscillate, and if the rod 39 is below a perforation, the spring 42 and roller 26 guide the end 47 of the lever 23 against the end of the lever 18, throwing the contact lever against the contact 10 ; if the rod strikes against the tape, it guides the lever 23 against the end of the thrust bar 17, throwing the contact lever on to the contact 11. The contact lever is only moved from one contact to the other by a change from a perforation to a non-perforated portion, or vice versÔ. The rod 31 may be pivoted directly to the lever 27, and a spring loop fixed to the end of the thrust lever 23, or the spring may be omitted altogether. The tooth 25 and roller 26 may be replaced by a tooth 49 resting against a pin 48 in the lever 27 except when the rod 39 strikes the tape. In another arrangement, Fig. 3, the rod 52 oscillates continually ; the rod 51 oscillates only when allowed to do so by a perforation in the tape. In that case, it is guided upwards by the inclined plane 63, and the nut 53 strikes the edge of the hole 60 and throws the contact lever over, while the nut 54 is guided through the hole 61 by the flexible strip 62. If the rod 51 strikes the tape the rod 52 moves lengthwise and its nut meets the edge of the hole 61, throwing the lever against the other contact.

Patent GB-190413478-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Multipe-ply Woven Fabrics and a Process for Treating the same
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM ROSCO
Filed: 1904-06-14
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 13,478. Smith, W. R. June 14. Coated fabrics.- Relates to an improved multipleply woven fabric for driving - belts. An ordinary multiple fabric is impregnated with a fluid or viscous adhesive and waterproof composition. Preferably, t h i s contains india-rubber, which becomes wholly or partly vulcanized or cured when in position between the threads and keeps the belt in a stretched condition. A homogeneous belt is thus produced which has a large coefficient of friction and is inextensible, unaffected by atmospheric conditions, and of great durability and tensile strength. By heating and stretching the fabric shown in Fig. 1, moisture is expelled and the weft threads b are drawn away from one another, so that an adhesive composition may readily be forced by heated rolls into the crevices. The fabrics can afterwards be rubbed by reciprocating heated metal surfaces. The fabric can also be treated with unvulcanized rubber compositions and afterwards heated in a vulcanizing-press. The rubber in the inside of the fabric may be left soft, to improve the flexibility and gripping power of the belt, while the outer surfaces are vulcanized. A suitable apparatus for the above processes is described in Specification No. 13,471, A.D. 1904. The frictional grip of the belt on the pulley rim &c. is not diminished by wear, nor does the belt disintegrate in laminµ like belting made of layers of cloth and rubber.

Patent GB-190427529-A (GB)
Title: A Process and Apparatus for Making Garment Pads.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1904-12-16
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 27,529. Marks, G. C., [Goldman, G.]. Dec. 16. Padding for garments &c. is made by feeding carded wool in layers impregnated with binding - material from machines 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1, on to an endless band 9. The object being to make a pad of triangular crosssection, the middle layer is narrower than the exterior layers, so as to be overlapped by them. The superposed layers are fed over a supporting-roller 10, Fig. 2, and pressed by conical rollers 12,13, the axes of which may be trimmed to any angle by means of Hooke's joints 15, 16. The rolled pad in a continuous length is carried on between bands 17, 20, the lower one receiving moisture from a spray 21 for the purpose of wetting the binding-material where necessary. The band 17 may also be provided with means for absorbing moisture from the binding, if it is too wet. The bands pass over a table 18 and are pressed by suitably - grooved rollers 19, these parts being heated by steam. The pad then passes through a second set of shaping-rollers 28 and has its upper and under surfaces calendered by means of rollers 22, 23 acting in conjunction with smaller rollers 24, 25. Nozzles 29, above and below, spray size or solvent liquid on to the material before the finishing process. The pad is then dried on a band 30 by a draught of air produced by a fan 31. Lateral channels are cut from the underside of the pad by means of a fixed skiving-knife 35. A roller 34 presses the pad periodically into the fluted portions 33 of a roller 32, in which position it is engaged by the knife and the channel is cut. The continuous pad is then cut up into separate pads by being forced by a vibratory plate 41 against a die-cutter 42. Additional finish is given to the pads by rotating them on an endless band 48 under a heated roller 46. They may then be either collected in a receptacle 51 or returned under the finishing-roller by a turntable 49 assisted by endless carrier bands. Pads of approximately triangular cross-section may also be made by feeding the sheets of fibres from the carding-machine through guide-pans 55, 56, Fig. 4, on to a roller 57. By oscillating the roller longitudinally by means of a cam 60 and spring, a composite ring is produced, thickest at its centre. The ring is cut and detached when complete. Another method is by passing a fibre sheet down a shoot, one edge 68, Fig. 7, of which is turned up. The corresponding edge of the sheet is doubled over by the edge 68 and afterwards consolidated on to the main sheet by rolling. Instead of at once making a triangular pad, a pad of uniform cross-section, as in Fig. 10, may first be made, and then be cut across a diagonal line 72, forming two triangular pads.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Carrier Systems.
Filed: 1905-02-24
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 3919. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.], Feb. 24. Electric railways; rope railways ; overhead railways.-Relates to electrically - driven automatic carriers, telphers, or hoists, travelling on overhead runways, and consists in an arrangement of switches and conductors by which a carriage may be brought to any point by an operator stationed there and may then be returned to a predetermined point. The invention is particularly applicable to carriers conveying ashes from a number of furnaces to a dumping-pit. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the carrier, and Fig. 3 shows the electric connexions. The bucket E is suspended from the hoisting-drum which is driven by the electromotor M'. The traversing-motor M<1> drives the wheels W through a train of gear-wheels, as shown. The circuit for this motor is completed by a switch A, which is operated by the lever B engaging a bar a extending parallel to the track. The controller C for the hoisting-motor is operated by the ropes d, d<1> fastened to a pivoted lever D, which engages a bar c also fixed parallel to the track. The levers B, D are held in normal position by springs, and similar levers are placed beside the track at each stopping-place. Three collectors x, y, z are carried by the traveller, adapted to engage respectively the conductors X, Y, Z, of which X is the return conductor, Y is a continuous positive conductor, and Z is a sectional conductor, switches S being arranged so that, when one of them is operated, all the sections to the right of this switch in the Figure are energized. If it is desired to start a carrier from the position shown in Fig. 3, the switch-bar A with the two pairs of contacts a<1>, a<2> is raised, thus completing the circuit of the traversing-motor M<1>, and also energizing an electromagnet on the bar, and holding the switch in its upper position. When the carrier arrives at the end of its journey, the trolly y runs on the dead section Y<1>, and-the switch A falls, thus closing the circuit from the sectional conductor Z'through the motor in the reverse direction. If it is desired that the car should proceed back only as far as the section 2, the switch S at this section is operated, and the carrier receives current until it runs on the section 1. A stop e may be provided for tripping the bucket E at the desired point.
