Patent GB-190326341-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Trippers or Deliverers for Conveying Apparatus.
Inventor: PAGE SYDNEY ELLIOTT
Filed: 1903-12-02
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 26,341. Page, S. E., [Robins Conveying Belt Co.]. Dec. 2. Conveyers.-Relates to belt conveyers, and consists of tripping or delivering apparatus, adapted to have a limited to-and-fro movement along the belt. The belt E is led in a double curve round two pulleys F, G, mounted in a frame A which runs on rails B, the material being delivered from the belt at F into a shoot H. The to-and-fro movement of the frame A is obtained from the pulley G. The gearing for this purpose comprises a box J, capable of oscillating on the bearing of the pulley shaft K, Fig. 3, and carrying pinions P, U, driven in opposite directions from the shaft K so as to drive the track wheels through the gearing Q &c., in one direction or the other, according to the position into which the box J is tilted. The movements of the box J are effected at the ends of the travel of the frame A, by a reversing gear actuated by contact of a lever a with stops on the track. This gear comprises a tumbler weight p, actuated by the lever a and having a lost-motion connection to the box J, so that it does not move the latter until it has gained a certain momentum. The gearing between the shaft K and the track wheels includes a lostmotion connection, so that the spur-wheels may be fully engaged before beginning to drive. This connection comprises a pin on the hub of the pinion R engaging a circular slot in the hub of the wheel Q. The box J is retained in its central inoperative position by the engagement of a rockarm r with a fork s secured to the box. The rock-shaft q carries handles t, and at its end opposite the arm r is a crank-pin q engaging a slotted rod 26', which passes loosely through a sliding block 28. Thus, should the apparatus be started by belt friction when the box J is in its central position, its movement is eventually stopped by engagement of the rod 26<1> with one of the stops. In a modification, each pair of track wheels is driven by a worm, and the shaft carrying these two worms is driven from the shaft K through a bevel-gear reversing-clutch which is operated by a tumbler gear like that described above.

Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 27,601. Le Mire, J. B. A. N. H. Dec. 16. Loom change-box motions. - Relates to means for preventing vibration of the rotating cylinder of rotary shuttle boxes after each part of a revolution of the former, a hook m being caused to enter notches in the disc a in order to steady the cylinder. The hook m is operated through a bell-crank lever, when the lever K, which operates the cylinder, arrives at the bottom of its throw. A spring o, terminating in a rod of variable length, is employed, so that the hook may be regulated to press against the disc a when the latter has commenced to turn only. A spring p brings the parts to their initial position as soon as the revolution of the cylinder ceases.

Title: Improvements in connection with Yielding and Automatically Adjustable Attachments for Goggle Bands, Articles of Dress and the like.
Inventor: SALT WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-12-22
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 28,145. Salt, W. Dec. 22. Bands.-Relates to a spring device applicable to an inelastic band to enable the latter, when pulled, to act as if it were actually elastic. The invention is described as applied to motor goggles, but is generally applicable, to inelastic bands. The fastening-straps a, Fig. 2, are looped, the contacting sides of the loops being enclosed in a flat spiral spring which is compressed when the straps are pulled. In Fig. 4, a continuous band a is shown looped through the spring e. A zig-zag or other shaped spring may also be enclosed in a case consisting or two parts, as, for example,j, k, Fig. 14, which slide longitudinally on one another and are drawn into one another when the spring is fully extended. One of these parts may be in the form of a piston, which is normally drawn by the spring completely into the other or enveloping part. In a modification, two staple-shaped frames g, Fig. 7, are placed with two pairs of sides in contact. The ends d of the frames are turned up, and each pair of contacting sides enclosed by a spring c. Where an independent spring device is used, each member is fastened to one of the meeting ends of the fastening-straps, but one member may instead, be permanently attached to the goggles &c.
Patent GB-190404941-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Colour Photography
Inventor: HESEKIEL ADOLF
Filed: 1904-02-29
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 4941. Hesekiel, A. Feb. 29. Drawings to Specification. Producing coloured photographs; sensitized plates and films; chromo-gelatine processes.-Coloured single or double transfer prints are obtained at one operation from an ordinary negative; the printing- surface is formed of superposed layers of gelatine, arranged so that the whole may be easily detached from the support. These layers are coloured, the colour being densest in the lowest layer, and least in the upper one. The suggested order of colours is blue, pink, yellow, red, green, and black ; certain of these, the pink and red, are inserted for contrast purposes. A deep red non-actinic film is the last of the films, and, not being rendered insoluble by any light, enables the film to be easily detached by the aid of warm water. When such a compound printing-surface is exposed beneath a black and white negative, the parts of this negative which are very opaque, such as those representing blue sky &c., will let very little light through, consequently only the top or blue layer of the film will be rendered insoluble ; the parts which are very transparent will permit the light to penetrate as far as the black layer, so that, after making a single transfer, and after washing off the soluble layers, the print will appear in the natural colours, if each layer is of such a density as to prevent the layer beneath it from shining through it. On making a second transfer, the places where the light penetrated to the green will still appear green, if the density of each layer be such as to overpower all those above it. The reason of the introduction of the pink and red layer can be illustrated as follows :-If the yellow layer were not separated from the blue by the pink layer, those portions of the sky which are somewhat less transparent on the negative, that is to say the clouds, would show a mixture of blue and,yellow on the print, and so produce a green. The presence of the pink layer, complementary to the blue above it, merely produces a darker tint. These films, each layer of which must be dried before the next is laid on, may be prepared by drawing the paper through a solution of the coloured gelatine, just above its melting point, at certain speeds, varying the speed, temperature, and concentration according to the density required.

Title: Improvements relating to Alternating-current Electric Motors.
Inventor: LUNDELL ROBERT
Filed: 1905-10-02
Granted: 1906-10-02
Abstract: 19,899. Lundell, R. Oct. 2. Motors, controlling.-A single-phase alternating- current commutator motor of the class described in Specification No. 22,808, A.D. 1904, is started by introducing external currents into alternate groups of coils in the armature winding, which react with the short-circuit currents at the brushes to produce rotation. When synchronism is reached, the motor is converted into an induction motor by short-circuiting all of the armature coils. The commutator c, Fig. 1, is provided with main brushes d, e, f, g, h, i, bridging a number of commutator segments and alternately connected to rings j, k, and with auxiliary brushes l, m, n, o, p, q, which are connected to the first set by flexible leads so as to be independently movable round the commutator. The field b is wound as shown, for the purpose of producing polarities increasing in strength towards the centres of the poles. At starting, the current from the main u flows through the field windings to the ring j, the brushes connected therewith, the armature winding, the brushes connected to the ring k, and back to the main w. At synchronism, the auxiliary brushes are shifted, and the rings j, k short-circuited by closing a switch x. The motor is reversed by shifting both sets of brushes from left to right. Each brush is arranged to subtend an angle approximately equal to one-half of the polar pitch angle. The armature is preferably provided with a drum winding, a two-circuit multipolar winding being particularly suitable, in which case two sets of brushes only are required. This type of motor should be designed with comparatively large armature reaction.
