Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 23,135. Hacking, A. E., and Pycroft, J. Oct. 27. Points and switches; electric tramways.-Tramway and like points and switches are operated from the vehicle or otherwise, electrically or mechanically, the point or switch being moved bodily in the transverse direction to the track. Figs. 2 and 3 show one arrangement of parts, in which the movable point a forms one of a bell-crank lever mounted on a rock-shaft c and having its other arm c<4> normally depressed by the weight c<5>. To move the points, the driver is provided with means for energizing the solenoid e, thereby raising the armature attached to the arm c<4> and moving the point-rail into the position shown in dotted lines, with a portion of its upper surface under a radial lip f<2> of the street-box. A catch g, Fig. 3, retains the arm c<4> in the raised position until it is released by the driver energizing a second solenoid h. The upper surface of the point is inclined at one end so that the wheels of a car may operate the point when travelling in one direction. Other means of mounting the point-rail may be used in place of the rock-shaft, and the point may be operated by hand instead of by electric means. The overhead points of an electric tramway may be connected to, and simultaneously operated with, the point-rail.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus relating to Animated Pictures
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE FREDERIC
Filed: 1905-05-04
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 9406. Rayner, G. F. May 4. Magic - lantern apparatus. - T h e intermittent motion i n apparatus for taking and displaying animated pictures is obtained by using two disks C, D with ratchet teeth arranged i n opposite directions and connected together by the elastic medium E. The disk C is fixed to the spindle c, and rotates continuously. The disk D is freely mounted on the spindle c, and has an intermittent motion through the escapement arms of the pivoted frame F. The free disk is in contact with the sensitive surface, and the photographs are taken during the intervals in which this disk is stationary. The shutter J is pivoted on the spindle c, and is operated by the pin j<1> taking into the slot g of the lever arm G fixed to the escapement. As the wedged tooth of the disk C engages one projection f<1>, the frame F oscillates to bring the opening j in the shutter across the lens opening h. The free disk D, on being released from this projection, is dragged on by the elastic medium E, being again stopped by the projection of the other escapement arm. A flexible but non-extensible connexion e between the disks controls the tension of the elastic medium E. A projection n is adapted to stop the disk D after every complete revolution, to prevent double exposure. Two or more concentric series of pictures may be taken by fitting the lens, to a radially sliding door in the case. When used forviewing or projecting pictures, the shutter is bmitted, and viewing or projecting lenses are adapted in an aperture in the lower half of the casing The disks in this case will be transparent, or will have openings for the passage of light. As a modification, the free disk D may carry a sprocket drum carrying the usual strip kinematographic film.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Ores Preliminary to Smelting
Inventor: SAVELSBERG JOSEF
Filed: 1906-04-21
Granted: 1907-04-20
Abstract: 9426. Savelsberg, J. April 21. Blast and cupola furnace charges.-Relates to the treatment of friable ores, which do not require the addition of sulphur for their smelting, so as to obtain a mass suitable for smelting without the necessity of briquetting. The ore is mixed with finely divided coke or the like and with flux, the mixture being slagged by blowing in a converter. As an example it is stated that nickel-oxide ores, generally containing about 25 per cent moisture, are mixed with 25 per cent slag, 25 per cent coke, and 5 per cent powdered lime. The mixture is introduced by ladles into the converter and is placed on a layer of incandescent coal or coke. The air is then blown in, further charges of the mixture being added periodically until the converter is full of an incandescent mass. The mass is then run out, and as it is of a porous nature, it is readily broken into pieces of a size suitable for smelting in a blast furnace.
