Title: Improvements in Portable Electric Accumulators
Inventor: RAMSBOTTOM HARRY
Filed: 1903-08-01
Granted: 1904-07-21
Abstract: 16,868. Ramsbottom, H., and Richardson, J. M. Aug. 1. Secondary batteries.-To prevent "creeping" of the electrolyte up the connections of a portable accumulator having a sealed lid, the connections are carried through a layer of resin oil or other fluid or semi-fluid insulating-material which wets and adheres to them and is not decomposed by the electrolyte. In one arrangement, the oil &c. is contained in ebonite or celluloid tubes, which are cemented'or moulded into the celluloid &c. lid of the cell ; the tubes may be moulded by pressure to close their ends tightly round the connections, or may have end discs, through which the connections pass with screw or other joints. The oil &c. may otherwise be contained in the space between the two parts of a double lid so that it acts also as a seal round the edges of the lower part. When a series of cells are permanently connected, the connecting-bridges are placed entirely within the double lid. The necessary vent and filling holes in the case of the double lid arrangement consist of tubes passing through both parts of the lid.

Abstract: 28,683. Chaddock, G. A. Dec. 30. Windows ; f a n - l i g h t s ; doors ; window - shutters ; window, s h u t t e r, and like opening and closing apparatus.-Relates to windows, fanlights, doors, shutters, and o p e r a t i n g - m echanism, of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 3403, 21,740, and 23,564, A.D. 1902. Figs. 1 and 2 show a window A pivoted at the centre, and a sliding frame B carrying glazed or o t h e r frames F hinged or pivoted above their centres and operated from, or independently of, the frame B. The vertical motion is effected by a screw D actuated by shafts R and a handle M. The window A is also lifted by the sleeve H and swivels on the helically-grooved pivot P, as described in Specification No. 21,740, A.D. 1902. Fig. 7 shows a form in which the frames F are tilted by links T as the frame B rises ; these links may be modified, as shown in Fig. 8, to reduce the strain on the hinges, the arms a, c being rigidly connected and carried by the sliding frame. Tight joints are secured round the oscillating frames by means of bevelled edges and wedges p, q, shown also in Fig. 10. The extent of opening of the frames is limited by a nut 3, Fig. 11, travelling on the screw 2 and guided without rotating by a key 6. Fig. 12 shows another method of lifting the sliding frame, brackets H<1> acting as nuts on the screwed shafts ; the operating-handle may be on a side shaft or the central shaft D. The window A may be made in two parts hinged and rabbeted, as shown in Fig. 12<a>, so that, when opened, the part projecting into the room may be folded back, the hinge 13 being on either edge but preferably outside. The window may be lifted by pawls or brackets 11, 12, Fig. 13, which disengage as the window swings. This lower member may be made weather-tight, as described in Specification No. 3403, A.D. 1902, by forming it slightly larger at the top, so as to have a wedging action. Bearings for the bevel gearing are shown in Figs. 18 and 19.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Governing of Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Filed: 1904-03-28
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 7389. Warwick Machinery Co., and Samuelson, F. March 28. Steam &c. turbines.-A governing-device for an elastic-fluid turbine is shown in Fig. 1. Instead of using a separate valve for each nozzle, the nozzles 1 are arranged in groups containing one, two, three, four, &c., and one valve A controls each group, so that by opening selected valves the required steam supply is admitted. The valves are actuated by steam supplied by auxiliary valves, actuated by electromagnets 4. The electromagnetic circuits are connected to a controller cylinder 7 and to contacts 6. The controller cylinder has contacts 8 arranged to close the circuits of one valve or a combination of valves, and is rotated by rack-andpinion gearing 13 connected by levers 12 to a governor 10. The size of the valves may correspond to the number of nozzles they control.

Abstract: 9834. Lake, W. B., and Elliot, E. F. April 29. Supports.-To support a motor or other bicycle, legs a, a', connected by an adjustable stay a<2>, are mounted upon the axle, so that, when the legs are depressed, they support the machine, a notch e* engaging the bottom of a slot a<3> keeping the legs in position. On depressing a foot - lever e, the notch is raised, and, under the action of a spring f, the support turns up into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, a nose a<4> limiting the movement. The support is pivoted on hollow collars, constructed substantially as described in Specification No. 9680, A.D. 1903, and on one of the collars is also mounted a plate c, climped to the chain stay. In a modified arrangement, one leg terminates in an upwardly-extending quadrant having two teeth, one of which engages with a projection on the foot-lever when the stand is in use, while the other is in engagement when the stand is inoperative. The spring, in this case, is attached to an extension of a second plate, the foot-lever being pressed up by an independent spring.

Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,637. Upton, W. T., Elliott, J. E., and Pratt, H. B. July 13. Arc lamps, clutchregulating mechanism for. On the frame b of the lamp is mounted a solenoid a, in which moves a hollow iron core c, secured around a tube d of non-magnetic material, which slides in apertures e in the frame. The upper carbon fits tightly in an elastic split tube h, which slides in the tube b but is prevented from descending too far by the collar g of the latter fitting loosely around the carbon. On the tube d is fixed a bracket j to which a clutch lever k is pivoted at l. One end of this lever presses on the carbon through a slot in the tube d, when the tube is raised, and the other carries weights n. When the tube descends, the weights rest on the plate b<1>, and the carbon is freed. On the same pivot are arms o carrying a weight p, and oscillating, when the tube is lowered, on a knife-edge q. The pivot pin l is extended to approach the frame b and so to prevent the rotation of the tube d. The weight p causes a gradually-increasing downward force as the tube d is drawn upwards. In some cases, the pivot pin l is connected to the tube d through a spring or the like. The weight p may rest on a fixed cam-surface if desired.

Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 24,771. Samuelsen, N. P. Nov. 15. Cork - drawers.- An instrument for drawing corks consists of two blades k hinged together at e and having, in their upper bent ends, slots c, Fig. 2, which engageapin b in the handle i, Fig. 1. The lower ends of the blades are rounded and provided with teeth f. In using the instrument, the cork is penetrated by the blades closed as in Fig. 1, but the application of a withdrawing force causes the blades to open into the cork and so to effect its removal. The cork is released from the instrument by pressing upwards an arm g pivoted ou the pin e, which closes the blades again, thereby allowing a helical spring h<1>, compressed by the insertion of the blades k, to force the cork over the blades and release it. The instrument may be carried by a frame fixed to a table.
