Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 29,539. Shields, A. June 24, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Sanding rails.-A sanding-mechanism for use on railway or tramway vehicles is provided with a pneumatically-operated device for cleaning out the blast orifice. Sand is supplied by a pipe A, Fig. 1, and delivered by a pipe B to the rails, both pipes being screwed into a casting A'. The air blast is supplied by a pipe C' through a nozzle C. A piston D slides in a chamber C' at the rear of the nozzle and carries a tapered pin c. By admitting air through a pipe E, the pin is made to enter and clean out the nozzle C. The arrangement is such that, when air enters through the pipe C<2>, the piston is driven back from the nozzle. A valve for operating the mechanism is shown in Fig. 3 in the closed position. When turned a quarter of a revolution in the direction indicated by the arrow, the valve admits air to the pipe C', Fig. 1, and when turned through another quadrant, air is admitted to the pipe E.

Abstract: 3873. Birkin. T. I., Birkin, R. L., and Birkin, C. W., [MalhÞre, E., MalhÞre, L., and MalhÚre, A.]. Feb. 24. Jacquards. - Relates to means whereby the selectors, for, say, four consecutive motions of the machine to which the jacquard is applied can be operated at each motion of the latter. A circular step-by-step rotated drum 7 carries, in circumferential grooves, disks 6 sliding on axles. Each jacquard card can operate, say, four rows of needles 3, and these have bevelled ends which may engage with and shift the rollers 6 of the four rows corresponding.

Title: Improvements in Tunnel Kilns for Burning Bricks, Briquettes and the like.
Inventor: SUTCLIFFE EDGAR ROUSE
Filed: 1905-10-12
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 20,646. Sutcliffe, E. R., and Speakman, F. Oct. 12. Kilns.-Relates to tunnel kilns for drying, burning, and cooling bricks, ore briquettes, and the like, which are stacked on wagons passed through the kiln. The bricks &c. are cooled by air supplied for combustion, and the cooling-chamber is separated by a damper from the burning-chamber, from which the products of combustion may pass to the drying-chamber. Cold air is admitted to a passage c at the inlet end a of the kiln, and passes to the front d of the cooling-chamber at the outlet end b of the kiln. The air keeps the under parts of the wagons e cool and is heated in the cooling-chamber, from which it passes by passages h, k to gaseousfuel inlets or flues l connecting fire-places m with the kiln chamber. These fire-places have fuel hoppers q with bells w, as shown ; steam is supplied to them through pipes p, and the supply of air through doors n, o above and below the grates is controlled by dampers so as to produce incomplete combustion. The wagons have platforms l with channel-irons g to make air - tight joints with ribs at the side of the kiln, and have protective coverings of fire-brick. Spaces r are left between the bricks for the passage of the gases. The damper i for separating the cooling-chamber is arranged as shown. In a modification, passages are arranged for the supply of hot air from the cooling-chamber direct to the drying-chamber, and the furnace gases may be conducted from the burning-chamber to the chimney. A fan may be used for producing a forced draught.

Abstract: 26,896. Maniglier, J. J. M. Jan. 19, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sorting sand, gravel, &c.-Sand, gravel, &c. are sorted by passing down inclined planes a, b, c, d, e, f separated by spaces g, h, i, j, k. The larger particles acquire sufficient velocity to enable them to pass over the spaces, while the smaller particles fall through. Plates l, m, n, o opposite the spaces force the material back on to the inclined planes. The inclinations and lengths of the plates and the widths of the spaces vary according to the sizes of the particles into which the material is required to be divided. The planes a, b, c, d, e,f may be arranged in stepped formation. One or more similar apparatus may again treat the material falling through the spaces g, h, i, j, k. The sand &c. is delivered on to the top plate a from a hopper having an adjustable longitudinal slit to regulate the feed.

Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 10,523. Smales, J. E. May 5. Refuse, collecting; liquids, distributing.-The dust on roads and paths is collected by a brush and pneumatic, means, and the cleansed surface is sprayed with tar &c., over which the dust may be redistributed, with or without lime or other absorbents. The blower 3 feeds an air-vessel 4, from which the air jets 6, 5, 7 are supplied for, respectively, spraying the tar, blowing the dust from the road surface into the hopper 9, and carrying the dust into the hollow trunk 25. A rotary brush 13 simultaneously sweeps the preceding surface, screens 29 serving to separate large particles of dirt. A division plate 28 protects the brush 13 from the draught from the jets 5, and a plate 8 loosens the particles from the brush. The brush and trunk are carried by bars 26 which can be oscillated about the rear axle by a lever 16, the air-supply pipe 32 being flexible. The dust may be discharged from the rear of the trunk 25 behind the spray 24 of the tar tank 17, and lime &c. may be mixed with it from a vessel 19 having a flexible outlet 20. The air and tar taps are controlled by levers 22, 34, and steam may be used for heating the tar &c. A squeegee may be used to assist the spreading. For operating on strips only of a road, sections of the brush and jets may be rendered inoperative, and for treating paths, the air and liquid jets may be carried on projecting arms. In an alternative form, sets of air jets are placed across the vehicle diagonally, the front jets raising the dust and the, hinder jets redistributing it after the surface has been treated with liquid.
