Abstract: 6194. Grasberger, B. A. March 23. Electric railways and tramways with overhead conductors. Collectors.-Relates to a trolly-pole retriever for electric railroad cars which, when the trolly wheel jumps the conductor, automatically lowers the trolly arm. Figs. 1 and 2 show a side elevation and plan of a trolly with the releaser attached, the trolly pulley being in contact with the overhead wire, and Fig. 3 shows the trolly arm in its lowered position. The trolly arm, which is supported by the usual springs or the like (not shown), is pivoted at E to a frame C supported by a pin b, about which it can swing in a horizontal plane. The retriever consists of toggle-links F, G pivoted to the trolly pole at f and connected to the frame c by a short link H. Stop lugs or tappets I are formed on the end of the link G, which is pressed forward by springs K. When the pulley is in contact with the overhead wire, the links F, G are in a straight line, Fig. 2, a tappet N being then adapted to engage both the trolly arm and the links F. The link H allows the links F, G, when in the position shown in Fig. 2, a limited amount of freedom so that the trolly pulley can adapt itself to slight inequalities in the overhead conductor. A stop 0 prevents the links from folding downwards. When the pulley jumps the wire, the blow transmitted to the links by the tappets N, I causes the links to fold upwards, the arm being then drawn downwards, by the springs K, to the position shown in Fig. 3.

The"bell-jar" 2, Fig. 1, is supported in a vessel 1 with electrodes 3, 4 respectively outside and inside the bell-jar. Chlorine escapes by the pipe 5, and air is forced in by the pipe 6 at the end of the operations. In this construction, the vessel 1 is connected by a pipe 7 to a main pipe 8 provided with a tap 9 and an air-vent 10 with tap 11. The main and connecting pipes may have taps or be of variable bore so that the level of the liquid in any of the cells can be adjusted at will. In a second construction, the cells are made practically sessile on the main pipe ; in a third, the conrecting-pipes from the main are fitted water-tight in the bottoms of the cells and are brought up inside the bell-jar and either bent in siphon form or enclosed in an inverted closed tube so as to constitute a siphon. In the latter case, the siphons can be wholly or partly emptied without discharging the contents of the cells, if it is desired to interrupt the electric connexion between the cells. A single containing vessel may be divided into a group of cells by means of partitions extending nearly or quite to the bottom of the vessel, each of such cells being provided with a separate bell-jar. Fig. 8 shows another modification with separate filling and emptying mains 19, 20 ; the connecting-pipes 7<A> for filling have ball cocks 21 cr other valves for shutting off the supply of liquid when the cells are sufficiently filled. To economize floor space, the cells or groups of cells may be arranged in tiers, in which case the cells are connected to branch pipes running into the main, which may be horizontal or vertical.

Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Pump Governors.
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR
Filed: 1906-09-17
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 20,645. Turner, W. V. Sept. 21, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Governing or controlling pumps.-In a pump governor, the pressure in the fluid reservoir opens a pilot valve carried by an adjustable diaphragm and causes the movement of a piston valve admitting fluid from the reservoir to the underside of a spring- pressed piston, which is thereby raised to break the electric driving-circuit of the pump. Fig. 1 shows the piston valve 24, the pistons 23, 22 of which have leakage holes or grooves. A pipe 16 supplies fluid from the reservoir to the space 19, and also to one side of a diaphragm 32 adjusted by means of a nut 39. The motion of the diaphragm 32, when the pressure in the reservoir reaches the maximum, opens a pilot valve 35 and so opens the space 20 to the atmosphere. The piston valve then moves to the left and admits fluid from the reservoir through a passage 26 to the space below the piston 7. This separates the contacts 10, 12 and stops the pump. A similar arrangement is provided to close the circuit again when the reservoir pressure falls to a minimum. When this happens, a diaphragm 38 opens a valve 43, and puts the space 21 in communication with the atmosphere. The piston valve then moves to the right, into the position shown, the passage 26 is connected to the atmosphere through a port 27, and the piston 7 is pushed down by its spring, bringing the pump into action again. The governor may be employed with other than electric driving- means and may operate such as clutches, valves, or belt forks. A slightly modified construction of the piston valve 24 is described and illustrated, designed to facilitate the prompt action of the piston 7. A modified construction of governor has a third diaphragm and pilot valve, and is applicable to the case of a common pipe line supplied by a number of pumps each with its reservoir. The additional diaphragm is exposed to the pressure in the pipe line, which is cut off by a check valve from the reservoir, and in a manner similar to that above described causes each pump to come into action when any one pump does so.

Granted: 1907-11-20
Abstract: 26,219. Schorn, H. Nov. 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Indicators or annunciators ; signals, electric.-In electric annunciator systems such as are employed in hotels &c., visible call-signals are employed instead of the customary bell. The arrangement shown comprises a battery B from which leads a, b, c are taken. The conductor a, from which branches n<2> are led to contacts k<2 >in each room, is led through optical signals s<1>, s<2>, which may be incandescent lamps, or disk signals with polarized armatures, to a collector bar d on the indicating- frame. This bar d is connected, through the indicator drops e and conductors l, to the pushes m'. The conductor b serves as a common return. The lead c is connected to a bar i, operated by a handle h and bearing contact-springs g which, when brought against pieces f allow a reverse current to pass to restore the drops and the signals s<1>, s<2>. A second terminal k<1> in each room is connected by branches n<1> with a conductor n which is led from the bar d. A bell r, Fig. 2, having hooked or spring terminals q, is normally carried by the attendant, being, for instance, hooked into the belt. This bell, which is fitted with a damping-arrangement, may be hung on the terminals k<1>, k<2> while attending to a call in any room, to give notice of any further call. Actuation of any push completes the circuit between the leads a, b through the signals s<1>, s<2>, a drop e, and conductor l. If the bell is hung on any pair of terminals k<1>, k<2>, it will be sounded by a current flowing in a parallel circuit from the lead a by wires n<2>, n<1>, n, bar d, and thence to the lead b as before.
