Title: Improvements relating to Detonator Apparatus for Railway Signalling and the like
Inventor: LEE ARTHUR COE
Filed: 1905-01-30
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 1772. Lee, A. C. Jan. 30. Detonator apparatus; rods and wires for operating. - Two similar detonator machines are placed in close proximity on the line, the detonator of the second machine providing for any failure of the first to explode, and being removed automatically on the explosion of the first detonator, by means ot a fan apparatus on the first machine. The signal wire 3, Fig. A, is attached to the two sleeves 3<A>, and operates the lever 5 on the axis 1, through the connecting-link 1<A> which is sandwiched between the spiral springs 2<A>. In pulling over the signal from danger,' the end of the lever 5 engages the end 7 of the weighted lever 8, and causes the hooks 6 to engage the broad shoulders of the cartridge strip, Fig. E, so as to move one of the alternate blank spaces 10 on to the line, replacing the detonator 4. In the reverse movement, on setting the signal to 'danger,' the lever 8 is returned to position cushioning against the spring stop 11, while the hooks 6 on the lever 5 engage the next link and place forward another detonator 4 into position. The cartridge strips are fed from the roll 16 in the casing 14 along the trough 12, which is provided with rabbeted covers and openings for cleaning &c. The strips are formed of links of papier mÔchÚ or other non-inflammable material, and are connected together by light steel bands, webs, or the like. Alternatively, the books 6 may be positioned to act on a central groove on the strip instead of on the broad shoulders as shown in Fig. E, in which case the strips will be formed of continuous width throughout. The trough 12 of the second machine is provided with a weighted lip 19, Fig. G, connected with the shaft 20, 20<A> by links 23, 22, the spring extension 25 normally engaging the underside of the trough. A concave fan or shield on the axis 20 and near the first machine is thrown over by the force of the explosion of the first cartridge when the signal is at 'danger,' displacing the lip 19 into the position shown in Fig. G. When the signal is moved to 'line clear,' the hooked piece 33 of a lever pivoted on the shaft 1 engages the rounded lever 31 and raises the lip 19 to its normal position.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 14,485. CoppÚe, E. July 13. Coking.-The regenerators used in connexion with a battery of coke ovens are so arranged that there is no reversal of the direction of flow of the heating-gases in the heatngflues of the ovens. After circulating in the oven flues, the products of combustion pass down flues f into flues a which run the length of the battery and lead to a distributing-pit ,q divided into four chambers by walls h, m, each of the chambers being provided with an opening A movable cap n is formed with a diametrical partition o which serves, when made to coincide with the wall h or m, to divert the combustion gases into one of the regenerators r', r. Air is supplied through a pipe l to one chamber of a second pit g<1> and passes along either of the regenerators r, r' to the pit g and thence to a flue L. The heated air from the flue L rises into flues L<1>, whence it is distributed to the heating-flues. When the caps of the pits coincide with the walls m, h<1>, the products of combustion which pass from the flues a are diverted into the regenerator r and thence through the channel k to the boilers &c., while the air passes from the pipe l, through the preheated regenerator r'. When the caps are turned to coincide with the partitions h, m<1>, the combustion gases pass through the regenerator r' and the air passes through the regenerator r. The caps may be operated simultaneously.

The disk having been placed so that one of its slots E coincides with the slots C of the lugs B, the handle of the can is placed therein, and the disk is turned so that the slots are moved out of line, and the can thereby prevented from being removed till the catch is released from inside.
Patent GB-190519968-A (GB)
Title: Improved Construction of Electric Switch.
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 19,968. Mensing, L. C. H., and Bruce, Peebles, & Co. Oct. 3. Switches.-The contacts of a switch are arranged so that a current may pass from the source of supply through the switch and a lamp, or through the switch and source of supply, and in some cases through a resistance. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the base 1 carries four fixed contacts 2, 2, 3, 3, connected to the lamp 8 and supply 4 as shown. An insulating block 5 sliding between the contacts carries a long metallic strip 6 and a short one 7. The lamp 8 is shown in connexion with the supply 4 through the metallic strip 6, but the block 5 may be moved by the handle 13 to connect the contacts 3 through the strip 7, thus allowing a current to pass through the switch from the source 4. When a resistance 9, Fig. 3, is used, it is connected to 'two extra contacts 10, and a plug 13 carries a metallic strip 11 of such a length that it connects four of the six contacts together. By this arrangement the supply may be connected to the lamp 8 or resistance 9 according to which socket the plug is placed in. The six fixed contacts may be placed in a circle as in Fig. 7 and engaged by rotatable contacts 6, 6, 7, 7, 11, 11 connected in pairs by wires.

Abstract: 20,691. Flower, J. W. Oct. 12. Corking.-Relates to improvements on the machine described in Specification No. 6243, A.D. 1896. The corks descend a shoot d, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and enter successive holes c<1> in a plate c, which is fixed to the same shaft b<1> as the bottle table band revolves with it. The corks are held by a pin g fixed to a camoperated lever e, the movement of which permits the corks to fall into the holes c<1> singly. The corks in the revolving plate c are supported by a fixed plate j provided with a hole j<1>, Fig. 4, through which the corks fall into a conical compressor tube l<2>, being then driven into the bottle neck by a plunger k. The bottom of the compressor tube l<2> is fitted with a rubber ring l<3>, Fig. 5, against which the neck n is pressed, the air being withdrawn by way of a passage q, an annular space p, and a pipe o. The descent of the corks may be arrested by a spring rod h, Fig. 4, which is normally held out of action by a pin h<1>, which enters a slot h<2> when the rod h is in contact with the cork, but which, when the rod h is withdrawn and turned slightly, rests upon the edge of the socket i and prevents the return of the rod. A bell-shaped piece w keeps the bottles at the correct distance from the shaft b<1>. The height of the table b &c. may be adjusted by a screw r, Fig. 1, fitted with a hand-wheel u.
