Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves, Stop Cocks and the like.
Inventor: HIGGINSON GEORGE
Filed: 1903-08-07
Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 17,198. Higginson, G. Aug. 7. Liquid meters.-Relates to a valve suitable for liquid meters. A cupleather b with tapering edges and a small circular hole c in its base is placed in a chamber or pipe a, the end of which is covered by a plate or disc d. This plate has a hole e, corresponding to that in the cup-leather, and the valve is opened or closed by sliding or turning the hole e in the cover d in or out of register with the hole c in the cup-leather.

Title: Improvements in Receivers for Wireless Communication.
Inventor: MORIN GEORGE
Filed: 1903-09-17
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 20,061. Morin, G. Sept. 17. Telegraphs.-The coherer in a system of wireless telegraphy comprises a cluster 11 of annealed soft iron filings resting in a conical bowl formed by the electrodes 9c and the insulating-plate 10<a>. A soft iron core 12 is loose within the tube 12<b>, and its conical end dips into the cluster of iron filings. A fixed core 12<a> attracts and lifts the loose core when the solenoid 15 is energized. The solenoid is secured to a bracket so that its height is adjustable. The electrodes 9<c> are connected by wires 24, 27 to plates 20, 21 mounted on the insulating- block 4 and carrying terminals 7, 8. When electromagnetic waves are received by the antenna 38, the filings cohere, and the battery 47 energizes the. relay 35 and closes the circuit 31, 33 of the battery 32, thus actuating the sounder 29. The solenoid 15 is in a shunt circuit 8<a>, 9<a> from the terminals of the sounder, and the current flowing through this circuit serves to lift the core 12 and the adhering filings, and to produce decoherence.

Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 25,323. Fisher, G., and Krosli, V. Nov. 20. Lubricators. - Relates to improvements in a lubricator known as the " Kingfisher," using solid or semi-solid lubricant. This lubricator consists of a cup A, internally screw-threaded at a to take a hollow cylindrical plunger B screw-threaded at b. The feed of the lubricant is effected by the pressure or relaxation of a spring C' against the piston C screwed into the cap A. To prevent the rotation of the plunger B by the vibration or movement of the machine to which the lubricator is affixed, the piston-rod E terminates in a shoulder e and a flat or angular blade E<1>, which can only rotate against the action of a spring D. The nut e<1> secures the piston C to the piston-rod E, over which is placed a sleeve G with a feather or key g fitting into a notch of the top b' of the plunger. Or, instead of the sleeve g, which is secured to the rod E by a pin g<1>, the screwed rod E may have a longitudinal key or groove to engage with a corresponding slot or key of the plunger top. A knob K is secured to the end of the pistonrod to prevent the piston 0 from being forced out of the plunger B by the spring c<1>.

Title: Improved Change Speed Gear for Motor Road Vehicles.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ROBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1905-03-31
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 6859. Phillips, R. E., [Moore, S. Bramley-]. March 31. Motor road vehicles. - Relates to step-by-step change-speed and reversing toothed gearing in which the driving and driven shafts are placed in line and connected directly or through the medium of a parallel countershaft, the object being to obtain a large number of speeds with a small number of gear-wheels. In each of the two forms shown, one of the wheels is mounted loosely on or between the ends of the driving and driven shafts and is capable of being clutched to either. In the form of gear shown in Fig. 1, for giving six forward and three reverse speeds, the abutting ends of the driving-shaft V and driven shaft W engage, and one of them supports the freelyrotated toothed wheel M. The countershaft Z carries, fixed to it, four wheels A, B, C, D, of which B, D gear continually with the looselymounted wheels M, N, while A and C are engaged when required by the wheels X, Y, which rotate with, but are free to move longitudinally on, the shafts V, W respectively, and also engage by means of toothed clutches with the wheels M or N. The six forward speeds are obtained by suitable adjustment of the wheels X, Y, the direct drive at highest speed being obtained by clutching both wheels X, Y to the wheel M; the third speed is obtained through the wheels X, A, B, M, as shown in Fig. 1. The three reverse speeds are obtained by driving the wheel A through a countershaft U, Fig. 9, having wheels R, S fixed to it, the wheel S being continually in gear with the wheel A, and the wheel R engaged by the sliding wheel X. In a modification, shown in Fig. 10, giving four forward and two reverse speeds, the wheels A, B are fixed to the countershaft Z, but the wheel C is keyed to it, so as to slide into engagement with the wheel R on the reversing-countershaft U, shown in Fig. 14. The wheels X, M, Y are loosely mounted, and are clutched to the driving or driven shafts, when required, by the clutches P, Q. In order to avoid the countershaft rotating idly at the direct drive, the wheel M may be mounted loosely on a loose sleeve 0, as shown in Fig. 16, the two wheels X, Y being clutched together through the medium of the sleeve, leaving the wheel M loose, or either may be clutched separately to the wheel M.
