Patent GB-190914711-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Buffer Couplings for Railway Car, and other Vehicles.
Inventor: SAYER ROBERT COOKE
IPC: B61G5/00
Filed: 1909-06-23
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,711. Sayer, R. C. June 23. Couplings, automatic, (1) magnetic-grip, (2) twin interlocking-hook. (1) The tractive force in a combined draw-gear and buffer coupling is exerted electro-magnetically, and means are provided for non-magnetic automatic coupling with vehicles in which electric current is not available. When two cars buff up, the core of each electro-magnet i, Fig. 6, slides against a spring t, Fig. 17, in an insniating-tube s<3>, which telescopes in the hollow draw-bar f, and contacts are made which start the current in the coils i<2> of the electro-magnets so that teeth h<3>, Figs. 5 and 6, carried by these coils engage with each other and keep the magnets in alinement. To uncouple, the draw-bar f is rotated against a spring to operate a switch which breaks circuit. (2) In the non-magnetic coupling, two spring bars o each carry coupling-heads comprising two outside flanges o<4>, an inside flange o<5>, and a slot o<3> to be engaged by the flange o<5> of a fellow coupling-head. To set the bars o for coupling, they are thrust apart by the operation from handles q<2> of a second pair of bars p with inclined projections to act against similar projections on the bars o, and, when the coupling-heads meet, the bars p are released and returned by springs r. To uncouple, the bars p are again operated to thrust apart the bars o, and if necessary inclines p<4> on the ends of the bars p engage between the coupled heads to separate them. In the case of a vehicle with the electric current available meeting one without the current, the coupling-head and teeth h<3> of the latter form an armature for the electromagnet of the former. Buffers; draw-gear.-The draw-bars f mounted on girders g adjustable on the axle b<3> of the bogie b<2> are pivoted on the bogie pins b<4>, and are connected throughout the length of the train by mitre gearing. To bring the coupling tangential to the centre line on a curve, it may be connected by a swivelling link to the body b. In the absence of this link a plate carrying ball bearings may be placed between the end of the bogie b<2> and the coupling to allow the bogie free play on its springs. The draw-bar f carries a frame l enclosing a light draw - spring m placed between a cover k sliding on rods l<2> and a collar on a sleeve j<3>, in which a tube h connected to the coupling-head slides by means of slots and bolts. A second stronger draw and buffer spring m<2> is placed between the cover k and a second cover k<2>.

Title: An Improved Method or Process and Apparatus for use therewith for the Extraction of Crude Glycerine from the Salt Produced during the Concentration of Soap or other Lye.
IPC: C11D19/00
Filed: 1909-06-23
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 14,750. Lever Bros., and Edwards, A. C. June 23. Glycerine, concentrating ; multiple-effect apparatus. In concentrating soap and like lyes for the production of crude glycerine and the recovery of the salt by passage through a series of evaporating- chambers, as in a multiple-effect apparatus, the soap lye on its way to the next evaporator in the series is passed through the salt separator on this evaporator, in order to free the salt from the concentrated glycerine that it contains. Any salt separated in the first evaporator is retained in the salt separator through which the lye passes. The crude glycerine is drawn off from the last evaporator through its salt separator, in order that any salt it may contain may be removed. Bulk evaporators.-The salt separator is as usual put into communication with the base of the evaporator at intervals by means of a valve on the port h, and comprises a removable salt retainer l closed at the base by a door r carrying a perforated plate v. The lye from the previous evaporator in the series enters by a distributing-pipe q, passes through the salt, and thence through the spaces o, u to a pipe p leading to the evaporator. The door r swings about the pipe s for the discharge of the salt. The usual pipes 3, 5 for the admission of steam and air are provided.

Abstract: 16,199. Gawlich, G. Aug. 26, 1908, [Convention date]. Coating-compositions; coating webs.-Fabrics, paper, &c. are waterproofed by applying a coating-composition in a more or less dry and non - adhesive state, and then rendering it adhesive by exposing it to a solvent in the form of vapour, gas, or spray. Or the coating-materials may be mixed with filling-material and rendered plastic by means of a liquid which does not dissolve the waterproofing-material; the composition is then applied to the fabric &c., and is exposed to a solvent in the form of gas &c. as before. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91(3)(a), describes also the application of the process to the uniting of layers of fabric &c. by means of adhesives, and describes a coating-composition comprising powdered celluloid waste mixed with paint in dry form and moistened with castor oil, filling- materials such as granulated cork, leather, wood, or sand being added if desired. The fabric, coated with this composition, is passed through a chamber containing solvents such as acetic ether, alcohol, acetone, &c. in the form of gas &c., whereby the composition is rendered adhesive.

Abstract: 14,210. Correll, F. June 11. Money-delivering apparatus.-In cash-delivering machines of the type described in Specifications 16,124/07, 21,066/08, and 12,885/09, each ejector is adapted to be utilized at will for pushing out the corresponding coin values in different kinds of coins from several containers, or in paper money or rolls of coins. For ejecting the coin values in different kinds of coins, the ejectors and containers are made relatively adjustable. For instance two containers b, c, Fig. 3, are mounted so that the ejector e may push out either one two-mark piece from the tube b or two one-mark pieces from the tube c. The tubes b, c are movable by a handle, and their positions are governed by stops f encountering an abutment g. The tubes may be adjusted by slots i, Fig. 4, of different depth, in a spindle h, governing the position of three tubes b, c, d for ejecting the coin values in three different kinds of coins. For ejecting the coin values either in coin, notes or rolls, the containers b, l, t for coins, notes and rolls respectively are mounted in movable frames which are provided with projections 6 which are acted on by cams 3 on connected shafts 2 at either side, so that only one set of containers is in operative position. Guide-pins 8 on the frame move in the projections 6 to guide the containers when the handle 9 is operated to rotate the shafts 2. Registering, printing, and adding mechanisms may be provided. The roll-containers m, Fig. 6, are provided with a spring- pressed pivoted flap n which ends above the lowest roll, to hold up the others, the flaps being pushed out to allow the rolls to fall, on return of the ejectors, by means of a pawl w on the ejector slide acting on a lever x connected to a rod y, which is connected to the flaps by rods z. The flaps n may be replaced by corrugated plates acting on the sides of the rolls. The coin-containers preferably consist of halves A, C with a connecting-hook H, the half A being provided with a fixed or detachable bottom B for engaging the ejector, guide flanges K being provided to fit lugs on the frame. For filling these containers, the halves A are placed in boxes on inclined supports while the halves C are held in the box covers by springs.
