Title: Improvements in and relating to Couplings for Railway Carriages, Trucks or Engines
Inventor: FISHER THOMAS WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-01-06
Granted: 1909-01-06
Abstract: 301. Fisher, T. W. Jan. 6. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Couplings, automatic.-Relates to couplings for railway carriages, trucks, or engines of the type comprising hooks L, which are pivoted at H upon one vehicle and, upon entering a hollow draw-head M upon the opposing vehicle, are opened by contact with a plunger O. The hooks L are fully opened, so as to engage with ledges P on the drawhead M, by forcing the plunger 0 forwards by means of hand-levers Q mounted on a squared shaft, which carries an eccentric R engaging a slot in the plunger 0. The levers Q are locked in position by clutches, which engage ordinary quadrant lever guides S. Uncoupling is effected by raising the eccentric R, whereupon the plunger O is withdrawn by a spring T, and the hooks L are pressed together by springs K, which are arranged on the outer sides of the hooks. The hooks L are pivoted to a bar G, which is connected to a chamber A by a ball joint E, and is supported in the opening of the chamber A by four springs I connected to an encircling collar J. Buffers ; draw-gear.-The ball joint E, which connects the draw-bar G to the casing A, is arranged to bear against a spiral buffer spring D, which abuts against horsehair or other padding C.

Title: An Improved Traction Device for Vehicles.
Inventor: VIGUIE EMILE
Filed: 1908-07-18
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 15,277. Viguie, E., and Forget, R. G. Jan. 23, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.- Relates to means for substituting mechanical traction for animal traction by means of a tractor placed in front of the vehicle, and consists in connecting an auto-bogey with the vehicle by a universal joint composed of annuli pivoted one within the other so as to allow the wheels to move up and down without such movements being transmitted to the vehicle body, the connecting means also enabling the bogey to be controlled from the vehicle proper on which the driver sits. The upper part a of the bogey carries the annulus for fixing to the carriage, and is connected by tubes c to the lower parts b, b<1> forming the frame of the bogey. The wheels e, e<1> are steered from the band-wheel f, while the third wheel is driven from the motor by means of a chain k and sprockets. Springs are fixed at p and p<1> to the chassis, and the driving-wheel may also be provided with a means of suspension. The control of the brake and change-speed gear is effected from the sector v, while a pedal r controls the clutch u. The under part of the driver's seat is fixed to an annulus 1 bearing with its shoulders 2 upon a second annulus 3 provided with bosses 4 against which the annulus 1 works when the bogey turns. The annulus 3 is mounted on trunnions 5, 6 carried by a third annulus 7 which is itself journaled at 8, 9 in bearings 10, 11 secured to the upper part a of the chassis. The two sets of trunnions are at right-angles to one another, thus preventing the movement of any wheel from being transmitted to the driver's seat.

Abstract: 25,644. Tiemann, F. Sept. 24, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Decanting and settling.-Settling-apparatus for the treatment of solutions, particularly sugar juice, comprises a vessel a, to which the liquid is admitted through a branch e. After descending in the vessel a it rises within an insertion b to an outlet f at a higher level than the inlet e. The lighter impurities rising to the surface in the vessel a are consequently compressed and are discharged through a branch g fitted with a regulable valve or piston. Other impurities are concentrated in a chamber h by means of blades k, and are mashed in a chamber i, which is fitted with a stirrer l, by water admitted through the branch m. The residue, when washed as free as possible from solution, is discharged through a pump or other regulator o.

Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 23,933. Sykes Interlocking Signal Co., W. R., Sykes, J. C., and Tarrant, R. W. Oct. 15. Switches; pneumatic actuation.-Relates to switches operated by the passage of a train &c. An horizontal lever B rests upon a knife-edged fulcrum c which is mounted on a bracket D secured to the rail; the shorter arm of the lever is engaged by a knife-edge e which projects downwards from the rail A. When the rail is depressed slightly by the passage of the train, the remote end of the lever B is raised considerably, carrying with it the piston F<1> working in the cylinder F. During this movement of the piston, air is drawn into the cylinder through the valve K. When the rail ceases to be depressed, the piston falls by its own weight or aided by a spring, and forces air into the smaller cylinder G, thereby raising the plunger G', which engages a roller upon the actuating-arm H of a switch serving to control a signal &c. To obtain more than one electrical impulse as the plunger G<1> rises, there may be attached to it arms L<2>, Fig. 6, carrying contacts l<2>, which connect together first the contacts N<1>, N<2>, and then the contacts 0<1>, 0<2> which are mounted between the two cylinders G, F.
