Title: Improvements in Weighing Apparatus
Inventor: DREYFUS LOUIS
Filed: 1904-03-02
Granted: 1904-05-26
Abstract: 5185. Dreyfus, L., and Saillard, P. March 2. Indicating and registering mechanism; weights, methods of using.-Relates to devices for placing standard weights on scale-pans or removing them therefrom without touching them with the hand, and for indicating the weights used. Fig. 1 shows a device for lowering the weight g on to a balance w by a support s beneath it. The rod has a plate p with claws k which pass through correspondingly-shaped openings in the balance, so that, when lowered, as shown in dotted lines, it leaves the weight on the balance. The rod is operated by a hand-lever h and a system of levers e, f, d, i, m, a spring latch a, c retaining the parts in any desired position. Connected to the levers is a second system n, o, for raising and lowering an indicating-device r bearing a figure corresponding to the weight used. The indicator is supported in its highest position by s, pin n on the lever i. The whole of this mechanism is repeated for each weight used. All the weights can be raised simultaneously by a cross-bar z, acting on tappets y fixed on the shaft l common to all the levers h, and operated by an external lever fitted to the end of the shaft x<1> to which the cross-bar is secured. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which the weight 1 is raised and lowered from above. Each weight, such as 1, is lowered on to scale 2, having claws 5, by means of a pair of pincers 3, having a helical spring 14 connecting its jaws. The jaws are opened to release the weight by a wedge 4, which is caused to enter or leave the jaws on the further side of the pivot by means of a sliding rod 4<a> operated by a bent lever 6 having a projection which engages with a cam 7 mounted on a shaft rotated by a hand-lever 12. On the same shaft is mounted a second cam 11, which raises and lowers the further end of the pincers, and thereby the weight, by a projection 9 on the pivoted beam 8 supporting the pincers.

Title: Improvements in Hackling Machines.
Inventor: BARBOUR JAMES
Filed: 1904-03-08
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 5624. Barbour, J. March 8. Heckling- machines; feeding and transferring flax &c.-The lifting of the holders and the pushing of them through the machine are effected indirectly by means of weights or springs so that the holders stop in the event of any obstruction, and do not damage the machine. Fig. 1 shows the method of lifting the holders 3, the balance weight 1 being made heavier than the channel 2. The rotation of the cam 9 lifts the weight 1 and allows the channel 2 to fall. When the rotation of the cam slackens the band 6, the channel is raised by the weight 1. The motion for pushing the holders through the machine is obtained from the cam 11, Fig. 2, actuating the lever 12 connected to the weights 13, 14, which are also attached by chains to the bracket 18 on the sliding catch bar 19. The weight 14 is heavier than the other, and, as it is lifted by the cam, the weight 13 draws the bar 19 backwards for a stroke. When the cam allows the weight 14 to fall, the weight 13 is raised and the sliding bar 19 pulled forward.

Title: An Improved Process of and Means for the Impregnation of Wood with Antiseptic and like Substances for Liquids.
Inventor: CONTI-VECCHI GUIDO
Filed: 1904-06-23
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 14,183. Vecchi, G., Conti-. June 23. Wood, preserving; sleepers.-Railway sleepers are impregnated with antiseptic and like substances or liquids in a series of equal tanks, into which they are lifted by bars 57 jointed at 57<a> and in which they are held down by bars 59, the tanks being connected with each other by pipes and having floats 67 and movable covers, which are provided with outlets 25 and are connected to each other by tubes 29. The moisture is driven from the wood in the tank 2 by immersion in the liquid at atmospheric pressure and above 100‹ C., the temperature being retained by circulation through a re-heater 13 by a pump 16. The steam heats the liquid in the tank 1, and any uncondensed escapes through a tube 72, the condensation water passing through a tube 62. When the tank 2 has been dehydrated, the hot liquid is run into the tank 1 by the valve 38, and the cold antiseptic, which may be creosote oil, is run in by the pump 15 from the reservoir 11. The temperature should be under 100‹ C. and the pressure not less than one atmosphere. The liquid is run into the trough 14 through the valve 31, and is pumped back to the reservoirs by a pump 17, and a saline solution fiom the vessel 12 is then run in and is afterwards returned by the pump 15. An emulsion of the two liquids may be used. These operations are performed in the same tank successively, but simultaneously in all the tanks, and the number of dehydration and injection tanks may be increased as required.

Title: Improvements in Lift Regulating Valve Gears.
Inventor: MUSKER CHARLES
Filed: 1904-08-24
Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 18,318. Musker, C., and Musker, A. Aug. 24. Lifts.-Relates to a valve gear for controlling the motion of hydraulic lifts, and comprises two valves, one of which is automatically operated by the cage to cut off or reopen to the pressure supply when near the top and bottom of the well, and the other is hand-operated through levers connected to double-plunger valves which control the admission of fluid to a special arrangement of hydraulic cylinders. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement, the cut-off valve b being actuated by tappets in the well which engage a rope fixed to the periphery of the pulley k and thus rotate the nut j forming part of the boss. This motion imparts a longitudinal movement to the screwed rod c and thus actuates the valve. The controlling-valve a is connected by links u to a crosshead p which is situated between two plungers e<1>, f<1> of hydraulic cylinders e,f. The cylinder f is in open connection with the pressure reservoir so that the small plunger f<1> is always thrust outwards, but the opposing pressure within the larger cylinder e is regulated by the inlet and exhaust valves h, i, connected to a lever n which is pivoted at n<1> and operated from the lever m. This lever is connected directly to a sleeve q on the rod c and to the crosshead p, and is further connected to a handoperating mechanism through the lever s and bell crank t. Thus the valve a may be band-operated independently of the cut-off valve b, but the latter valve, when actuated, always brings the valve a to its central position by the engagement of tappets r on the rod c with the sleeve q. If desired, a slotted connection may be made at c<3> between the rods c, c<2> so that the cut-off valve may be reversed a little by springs connected with the cut-off rope, and the final stoppage of the cage is then produced by the controller valve.

Title: Improvements in Safety Discharge Apparatus for Excessive Voltages in Electric Circuits
Filed: 1904-12-21
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 28,018. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens Schuckertwerke Ges.]. Dec. 21. Lightning-arresters and like apparatus.-In safety discharge-apparatus for the protection of electric circuits against excessive voltages, as, for example, in lightning discharge-apparatus, an auxiliary circuit containing a small spark-gap is employed, the current oscillations of which are transformed up to a high potential and supplied to the main sparkgap to put the latter in action, thereby allowing the distance between the electrodes of the main spark-gap to be increased. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, the auxiliary circuit, connected across the equalizing-leads l<1>, l', comprises two condensers c', c<2>, a spark-gap f, which may be enclosed and provided with pointed electrodes, and the primary coil p of a Tesla or other transformer, the secondary s of which is in open circuit between the lead l<2> and the main spark-gap b. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the condensers c, c<1> are connected in series across the leads, the sparkgap f and the primary coil p are arranged about the condenser c, and the secondary coil s is in series with the main spark gap b. By adjusting the relative sizes of the capacities c, c', the voltage impressed upon the auxiliary circuit may be varied. The auxiliary circuit may be arranged between the leads, with the safety discharge-apparatus between one lead and earth. A bridge arrangement in which the condensers c are charged in parallel and discharged is series is shown in Fig. 3. The auxiliary circuit consists of two branches, each of which contains a choking coil m and a condenser c in reversed order, causing the points s, u to be at opposite potentials. The main discharge then takes place through r, s, gap b, u, t to earth at E. A condenser or a resistance should be inserted between rand t so that only a small current may pass through the auxiliary spark-gap f.

Abstract: 28,394. Fredericks, C. Dec. 27. Fish-hooks. - The barbed arm is bent as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and is provided with a snap 5 to prevent the fish from becoming unhooked. The shank 3 and snap 5 are pivoted together, as shown, and have eyes 8, 7 at the ends fitting upon the double ring 9, the ends 10, 11 of which serve to keep the eye 8 in position, while a loop 12 serves a similar purpose in the case of the eye 7. When a fish is caught, the tension upon the hook causes the eye 7 to slip out of the loop 12 towards the eye 8, against which it is locked between the ends 10, 11, thus bringing the point of the snap 5 to the point of the hook, and thereby securely locking the fish on the hook. A second barb 16 may be formed on the hook as shown.

Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 1 3 , 0 9 7 . Krupp Akt.-Ges. Grusonwerk, F. Sept. 13, 1904, [date appliedfor under . Patents Act, 1901]. Machine guns.-An automatic breech action is described. The barrel 2, with its extension 1, and the breechblock 8 are shown in Figs. 1 and 3 in the positions they occupy at the instant of discharge. The breech-block is locked to the barrel extension by a vertically-sliding bolt 18 with locking projections that slide in the grooves 21 in the extension, when the block is in its depressed or unlocked position. As the barrel and breech-block recoil, rollers 29 throw back levers 25, pivoted at 27 to the casing 3 and connected by a link 24 with a slide 22. The differential motion between the slide and breech-block causes the projection 31 to cock the firing-pin 10, and the rocking lever 17 to depress and unlock the bolt 18. The barrel recoils only for a short distance, but the slide 22 continues its rearward motion and carries with it the breech-block 8. The return motion is effected by the spring 37, and the locking is automatically performed by the lever 17, which at the same time releases one of the two trigger-levers 13, 14. The second triggerlever is under the control of the trigger 15, so that, if a continual pull is exerted upon the latter, the firing is automatic. The position of the bolt 18 and lever 17 may be altered if desired. The slide 22 is provided with cam-grooves for actuating the cartridge-feed mechanism. The breech action described above may be applied to gasoperated automatic guns. In this case, the levers 25 are actuated by the gas piston.
