Title: Improvements in Winches for Hauling Fishing Lines.
Inventor: CARTER CHARLES FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-04-25
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 8703. Carter, C. F. April 25. Winches.-Relates to sheave winches for hauling fishing-lines, and consists in the application of means for effecting a rapid reversal of the hauling- wheel without reversal of the engine or handwheel. Where a horizontal haulage-wheel is employed, it is fitted with a bevel-wheel b. Loosely mounted on the driving-shaft e are bevel pinions c, d, gearing with the bevel-wheel b, and each provided with a clutch surface f adapted to be engaged by corresponding parts of a sliding clutch g so that either may be locked to the driving-shaft or both be freed therefrom. Additional guide-pulleys 3 supported by swing arms 4 may be used. With a vertical haulage-wheel, the pinion q on the engine shaft drives loose pinions r, t mounted on secondary shafts s. The pinions are under the control of clutches so that either may be keyed to its shaft or both be freed therefrom. In the former case, motion is communicated to the vertical sheave by either of two pinions w on the shafts s The line is led over' guide-sheaves n. The arrangement of guidesheaves lessens the liability of the line leaving the hauling-wheel.

Title: Improvements in Tyres for Motor and other Road Vehicles.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM THOMAS
Filed: 1905-05-19
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 10,499. Smith, W. T. May 19. Tyres, pneumatic &c.- Tyres are secured to the rim by forcing their edges apart laterally by the action of a weighing- strip, which is tightened by a screw passing radially through the rim. Fig. 1 shows the strip consisting of a tube of coiled wire, covered with canvas or rubber and carrying inside a wire D connected to the tightening-screw and nut E. The strip may consist of a rubber wedge carrying a wire, and is applied to a solid tyre by forming the latter with an inner circumferential wedge-shaped cavity. In Fig. 3 the edges of the tyre are shown overlapping obliquely so that on tightening they are forced apart ; in a modification, each edge carries a strip or wire and is bevelled to fit over a central fixed wedge-piece. Fig. 6 shows a form where the edges are not forced apart underneath flanges on the rim, but the whole solid tyre is pulled inwardly by the action of one or more wires enclosed in tubes carried in the base of the tyre. In all cases the strip may be of circular section, which also ensures a wedge action.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Blow-pipes or like Appliances for Working with Mixed Gases and in Injector Attachments for use therewith.
Inventor: JACKSON WILLIAM MORTON
Filed: 1905-07-21
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 14,986. Jackson, W. M. July 21. Burning or uniting metals. - The injector nozzle a<1> of a blowpipe, stated to be applicable for lead burning, is formed in one piece with the nipple a<2> connecting it to the pipe supplying the gas under pressure, and is constructed so that it may be readily attached by hand to the mixing- chamber c of the blowpipe. In the blowpipe shown, which may be used with two gases, such as compressed oxygen and coal-gas, the nozzle is attached by means of a screw-thread, the connexion being rendered gas-tight by a conical flange a<4> or by packing. A cross-bar a5, webs, wings, or the like, may be formed on the nipple part to facilitate attachment to the blowpipe. In a modified form of blowpipe for use with three gases, the nozzle is connected to the nipple by a tube so as to bring it nearer to the flame, and means are provided for separate regulation of the gases. A series of injector attachments of different bores may be provided, one of which is used in conjunction with a corresponding detachable burner. When not in use, the nozzle may be protected by a screwed cap. Gauze partitions e are placed in the nipples to prevent obstruction of the nozzles by dirt &c. The Provisional Specification states that sound-deadening material may also be carried in the nipple part. Specifications Nos. 10,554 and 24,761, A.D. 1893, [Abridgment Class Injectors &c.], No. 15,512, A.D. 1898, and No. 3791, A.D. 1903, are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Wool Scouring Machines.
Inventor: JONES THOMAS ATKINSON
Filed: 1905-08-22
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 17,026. Jones, T. A. Aug. 22. Washing.-Figs. 1 and 3 show the entry and discharge end of a machine in which wool or other like material is carried by means of fork conveyers through tanks of cleansing-liquor. A chain or belt h is stretched over sprocket wheels or rollers i,j, k, l, m, and is driven by a pulley co-axial with the wheel i, or otherwise. Bars e are connected by links with this chain, and rollers f are mounted at the ends of these bars to run on rails g. Forks or paddles d are attached to the bars, provided with shanks at the ends of which are antifriction devices such as rollers o. The forks carry the material through a tank of cleansing-liquor, and they are held steady by the weight of the wool ; the rollers o press against a rail p which is provided at intervals with projections or recesses, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the wool is moved up and down in the tank. The inequalities may be inherent in the rail or they may be caused by rollers s, Fig. 4, or clamped pieces q, Fig. 5. The perforated or other tank bottom b, and the rails g, p, incline upwards at the discharge end. Above the upper part of the chain are provided rails g<1> on which the rollers f move. A tray x with a pocket y catches stray wool carried away by the forks. A guiderail to in front of the machine deflects the forks to a suitable angle, and the rail p is curved at the end p<2> in order to divert the rollers beneath it.

Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 23,083. Lawrence, E. Nov. 10. P o i n t s and switches; electric tramways. - Relates to means for mechanically operating tramway points and also, in the case of electric tramways, the overheadconductor points, from the vehicles. Fig. 1 shows a plan and Fig. 2 an end elevation of the operating- mechanism. The point tongues 1 are connected by the bar 4 to the pivoted three armed lever 8, which is connected to the pivoted levers 14, the ends 18 of which project into the rail groove through slots formed in the rail. The levers 14 are arranged so as to project alternately into the rail groove and, when moved by the corresponding bolt 26 carried by the cars, to operate the points. The overheadconductor points are connected to the lever 8 through a rod 20, pivoted quadrant 21, and chain or cable 23. The spring-controlled bolts 26 are depressed into the rail grooves by the motorman pressing his foot on the pedal 29. The levers 14 are arranged to work clear of the wheel flanges by having the depth of the rail groove increased at these places. To indicate to the driver the position of the points, a semaphore 32 is arranged to be operated by the chain or cord 23. To prevent damage in the event of stones or other. bodies becoming jammed between the open point tongues, the operating-bolts 26 are formed with hinged ends 34, Fig. 4, which are sufficiently spring-controlled to operate the points normally. In a modification, the levers 14 may project into separate grooves located along the inside of the track rails.

Granted: 1907-12-14
Abstract: 28,634. Collie, J. H. Dec. 15. Dynamometers ; index hands; scales.-In transmission dynamometers of the type in which the relative angular displacement of two contiguous disks connected to the shaft at sections some distance a art is a measure of the torque trans. mitted, the displacement is determined by means of mutually inclined slots in the two disks, which overlap to differing degrees or intersect at different points according to the relative positions of the disks. Fig. 1 shows the annular disks 1, 2 secured by means of sleeves 4, 5 and rings 6 to the shaft 3 at the sections P and Q respectively ; for convenience, both rings and sleeves may be split, and the latter may be prevented from sagging by means of steadying-rings 7, 8. In the case of a hollow shaft, Fig. 7, the sleeves are replaced by internal solid shafts 5<a>, secured to the shaft at their distant ends, while at their adjacent ends they carry on bosses 7<a> three arms 9 which pass through the apertures 10, preferably at a shaft coupling, and support the disks 2. The common portion of the slots, which may be variously arranged as shown in Figs. 7 and 9, may be rendered visible by means of a source of light, such as the filament of an incandescent electric lamp arranged to momentarily illuminate the aperture once during its rotation, provided the speed is great enough to give persistence of vision ; a reading may be taken by means of a fixed transparent scale 12 arranged on that side of the disks opposite to the light and suitably illuminated. Several pairs of slots may be employed.
