Abstract: 14,505. Incandescent Heat Co., and Smallwood, A. u 14 Conveyers.-Relates to means for conveying articles into, out of, and between heating and cooling chambers of annealing-furnaces in such a manner that the chain by which the articles are moved does not remain in the heating-chamber. The metal to be treated is placed on the carriage C, which runs on rails on the movable table A and in the heating and cooling chambers B, F. The chain H, by which the carriage C is drawn into the furnace, passes over a sprocket-wheel a<5> and can be wound on to the drum E. A dog K is fixed to the chain, and the carriage is passed into the chamber B by turning the sprocket-wheel J. The chain H is then withdrawn from the heating- chamber B and wound on the drum E, the connexion with the wheel J being maintained by a smaller cable h<2>. When it is desired to move the carriage into or out of the chamber F, the chain H is brought into engagement with the wheel J by means of the smaller chain h<2>, and the carriage is moved by the dog K. In furnaces with only one door, the dog K is elongated and can be used either to pall or to push the carriage C.

Abstract: 12,701. Russell, J. N. May 31. Heating buildings etc.; heating water.-In hotwater circulation apparatus for warming or domestic supply purposes wherein an accelerating-device is interposed in a by-pass circuit connected at both ends with the main or gravitation circuit of the heating cycle, the water delivered by the accelerating-device is prevented from returning thereto until it has passed again through the heater.

Title: Improvements in Protective Devices for Electric Transmission Systems.
Filed: 1907-01-01
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 97. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 1. Safety devices for use with electric conductors.-A protective device for electric distribution systems subject to high potential strains consists of a copper shell 2 screwed to a non-conducting tube 3. A jet of water 4 passes centrally through the tube 3 and strikes the inside of the shell 2. The water jet 4 supplies a high resistance path to earth through the nozzle 5. The tube 3 is provided with an annular metal ring 7 connected to earth in order to prevent injury to the nozzle 5. When a heavy charge is induced in the line 1, the path to earth is furnished by the water jet 4, and the steam generated in the shell 2 drives the arc downwards, thereby rupturing it. In a three-wire system, shown in Fig. 2, each wire is provided with a protective device, and spark-gaps 11, 12, 13 separate them from the line, thereby preventing the continual leakage of current from the line which occurs when the device is directly connected.

Title: Improvements in Short Base Range Finders.
Inventor: TAYLOR HAROLD DENNIS
Filed: 1907-03-27
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 7322. Taylor, H. D. March 27. Range-finders.-Short-base instruments, in which the prisms S1, S2 reflect off in the same direction into the observing system, as described in Specification No. 12,735, A.D. 1904, are modified so as to permit the use of the split-image method described in Specifications No. 13,507, A.D. 1893, and No. 18,273, A.D. 1902. The separating-prism H producing the double images is placed at the focus of the object-glass, and the fixed or removable screen q cutting off half of each image is placed at the point where the images are formed. As shown, the zero correction is made by means of the prism P', the rotatable prism P<1> acting, as usual, as the measuring-prism. Buckling of the instrument due to heat affects the position of the image corresponding to the prism S2, but rotation of the prism S1 produces a similar displacement of the other image. Instead of using reflectors as R1, R2, throwing the light into a telescope external to the base, the images may be viewed directly by a telescope placed at one end of the instrument. By combining the separating-prism with an equally thick glass plate having parallel faces, as shown in Fig. 23, one half of the field will give a split image, Fig. 12, and the other half undisturbed images, the accuracy of the adjustment of which into the centre of the field can be tested by means of the guide lines g', g<2>. The halving-prism can be fixed or removable. By using the four-lens system L1, L2, L3, L4 shown in Fig. 18, the screen can be placed within the optical system and the images are formed away from the eyepiece, but in some modifications, the images are formed outside the eyepiece and the eye cannot then get the full illumination owing to the halving - screen having to be placed where the images are formed.

Abstract: 8068. Ateliers de Constructions MÚcaniques ci-devant Ducommun, and Luttenauer, C. April 6. Reversing - gearing; crank linkages; clutches; tappets. - In planing or other machines with reciprocating tables or tool holders driven by reversing-gearing, cushioning-devices are arranged in the reversing-mechanism to prevent shocks; a hand reversing-device, which is not disturbed by the automatic reversals, is also provided. Spring- mounted tappets upon the table act upon a rocking members, Fig. 3, which operates a rod s<1> through a pneumatic buffer device comprising pistons w working in open-ended cylinders W with adjustable valves x. The shaft 5, upon which the member s is fixed, carries at its inner end, Fig. 10, a toothed sector 6 gearing with a pinion 18 to which is attached a crank 7 connected through adjustable links 19 to a spring 8, the arrangement being such that the spring 8 first retards and then-when the crank 7 passes the dead-centressists the reversing operation. The rod s<1> is connected to the reversing clutch member r, Fig. 9, by a rock-shaft 3<a> and a bell-crank lever 4, the rock-shaft 3<a> being connected to the bellcrank lever 4 by a short crank 3 the pin 17 of which engages a ball in a socket in a block 15 having vertical play in the arm of the bell-crank lever 4. The reversal may be independently effected by means of a hand-lever (not shown) connected to a pinion 13, Fig. 3, engaging a rack formed upon a loose sleeve z on the reversing- rod s<1>, the sleeve z being thereby moved up to one of the fixed, collars l and then moving the rod. The lost motion between the sleeve and collars allows the automatic reversals to be effected without disturbing the hand reversing-lever in its neutral position. One or both the tappets t, Fig. 13, may be elastically mounted by means of a compression spring t<2>.
