Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling the Supply of Feed Water to Boilers.
Inventor: OGDEN JOHN EDWARD LEWIS
Filed: 1905-03-11
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 5142. Ogden, J. E. L. March 11. Feed-water, controlling.-A diaphragm or piston a connected to a check valve b in the feed-pipe cuts off an enclosed space g communicating with the boiler, so that, if the level rises unduly high, water enters the space g and retards the motion of the valve. As the level falls, water escapes from the space g between the piston and the casing, or through slits in the diaphragm. The retarding action may be regulated by a cock k in the pipe h connecting the space g and the boiler. A lift valve n, Fig. 2, may be placed in the connecting- pipe m, which enters the boiler at the highest safety water level and may be continued inside and terminate in a T-piece, as shown. Two connecting- pipes, one with a lift valve n, and the other with a cock k, may be used in connexion with a single check valve b. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the pipe h may be bent to connect the space g with the passage d, which, in this case, is placed near the normal water level. A spring may be placed above the valve to assist in closing it, and a rod v, Fig. 2, may be used to regulate the extent of its lift. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that an auxiliary valve opening upwards may be placed in the piston a, and that, when a diaphragm is employed, a passage fitted with a valve may be cut in the casing instead of slits being formed in the diaphragm.

Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 6473. Davies, E. A. March 27. Brakes.-Relates to railway-wagon brakes applied or released from either side of the vehicle, and especially to means for locking the brakes in the ' on' and ' off' positions, the spring action of a flexible connecting-link between the hand-lever and the brake lever serving to press together the two members of a locking-ratchet for this purpose. Instead of the ordinary brake lever, a short upright lever e is keyed to the spindle d which carries the tumbler c. The lever e is connected, by a flexible rod f, to a two-armed lever g keyed to a weigh-bar h and having a curved eccentric slot g<1> in one arm. On the connecting-rod f is formed a ratchet-device f<2> adapted to engage with a similar device i fixed to the wagon. On depression of the lever g to apply the brakes, a pin f<1> slides in the slot g<1> and the ratchet device f is pressed into engagement with the device i, the teeth slipping over one another until the brakes are applied. To release the brakes, the lever g is raised and the slot g<1> raises the rod f from contact with the ratchet i. The lever g may be counter-weighted, and is connected to the corresponding lever at the opposite side of the wagon by a lever j keyed to the transverse weigh-bar h and a link l.

Patent GB-190514044-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Submarine Signalling Apparatus.
Filed: 1905-07-07
Granted: 1906-07-07
Abstract: 14,044. Lake, H. H., [Submarine Signal Co.]. July 7. Signals, marine.-In an apparatus for sounding a submerged bell, a compressed air reservoir is connected directly with a cylinder and piston mechanism positively connected with the hammer lever by which the bell is struck. The cylinder is provided with an exhaust comprising two or more branches, each capable of being throttled more or less, the exhaust being diverted by means of a code wheel through one or other of these branches so as to control the rapidity of exhaust and consequently the length of time between successive strokes of the bell. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the apparatus, the bell B being supported beneath the compressed-air reservoir a, connected by the passage a' and nipple a with the air supply. The hammer c is pivoted at C and connected at d<1> to the connecting-rod D<1> of the piston D, which carries a plunger E<1> working in the cylinder E, and is prolonged into the smaller cylinder F, connected by the passage f with the reservoir a. The air pressure in the cylinder E is controlled by the valve G, Fig. 2, which opens and closes the port g connecting the cylinder E and the reservoir a. The cylinder E has an exhaust port e and branches h, h<1>, Fig. 9, each of which is controlled by throttle screws j, j<1>,j<2>, Figs. 2 and 9. The port e is usually open wide, the branch h is somewhat restricted, and the branch h<1> more so. The air from the exhaust port e passes directly to the chamber A<2> or else is directed through one of the branches h, h<1>, and for this purpose the code wheel H and a pawl lever K, Fig. 4, are used. The code wheel H, Fig. 6, has a series of openings h', adapted to register with the upper end of port e through a corresponding opening e<1> in the pawl lever k. Bypasses e<2>, e<3>, Fig. 6, connect the port e with the branches h, h<1>. The positions of the by-passes and the openings of the code-wheel thus determines how much the exhaust from cylinder E is throttled. The code-wheel H has a series of ratchet teeth, by which it is rotated by the pawl h<6>, Fig. 2, driven by means of a pinion N, engaging a rack N', mounted on the piston D. Thus each time a blow is struck on the bell, the code-wheel is moved round one tooth.

Title: An Electric Signal-indicator for Railway Engines
Inventor: HAYTER ARTHUR JOHN
Filed: 1905-09-02
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 17,772. Hayter, A. J. Sept. 2. Switches, electro-magnetic. A polarized relay device for indicating on an engine the position of the track signals consists of four fixed electromagnets F<1>, F<2> , G<1>, G<2>, and one pivoted electromagnet E. When the engine approaches the track signal, it closes a circuit comprising the battery N, electro-magnets G<2>, G', and the coil h<1> of relay H. The relay H closes the circuit of the battery M through the electro-magnet E, and the electromagnet E alines itself with the electro-magnets G', G', the contact-arm I consequently closing the circuit of the white lamp w. As soon as the engine reaches a set of insulated rails provided for each track signal, four contact-shoes B', B', B<3>, B<4> make simultaneous contact with them, and current flows from the battery P through the reversing-switch on the track signal and through the electro-magnets F<1>, F<2> and the coil h<2> of the relay H. The relay H, as before, effects the energization of the electromagnet E. The direction in which this electromagnet moves depends on the position of the reversing-switch S ; either the green lamp g or the red lamp r will thus be lighted, and in the latter event the bell is sounded.
