Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 24,435. Clarke, H. Nov. 7. Couplings, automatic.-At each end of the vehicle, a trumpet-shaped tube C and a bar D, having a slot E, are connected to a cross-bar A of the usual spring-controlled draw-bar B, a crossrod L ensuring strength and rigidity. A bent lever F, pivoted to the tube C, carries at one end a short rod G hanging through, and capable of a rocking motion in, slots H in the tube C. When two vehicles come together, the bar D of one vehicle enters the tube C of the other, the rods G ride on the top of the bars D, fall into the slots E, and, on the rebound of the vehicle, assume a vertical position and engage with the lower slots H. Uncoupling is effected by lifting the short rods G, preferably by means of a bar I having handles J and a crank K engaging the other end of the lever F. The bars D have a free side movement to facilitate coupling and uncoupling on curved portions of the railway. The usual draw-bar hook is preferably situated between the tube C and the rod D, for use with wagons not fitted with this device.

Patent GB-190310945-A (GB)
Title: Improved Manufacture of Cases, Boxes, Tubes, Casks and other Hollow Structures.
Inventor: KOSZTOVITS OGNESLAV IGNATZ
Filed: 1903-05-13
Granted: 1904-05-13
Abstract: 10,945. Kosztovits, O. May 13. Wood pipes and tubes.-Tubes &c., of round or other section, are formed from two, three, or more layers of wood or veneer so placed that the fibres cross each other. Single layers of wood or veneer, or veneers previously glued to form plates, are bent on a core 1, Fig. 1, and then glued in such a way that the joints of the separate layers, or of the previously-formed platea, do not come over one another. Or, the previously-formed plates may be of a thickness equal to that of the wall of the article to be produced. The sheets, previously moistened or glued, are fed to the core under a band 24, one end of which is secured to the core and the other to a tension device 27. The core, which is collapsable to facilitate the removal of the article, is rotated before heated pressing-rollers 7 by which the material is pressed to the core. The device may be also further heated, the heat being retained by a jacket 4 carrying the rollers 7, on which they are spring mounted. The rollers 7 are also pressed to the work by other spring rollers. The band 24 may consist of a metal sheet, which may be plain, or perforated to facilitate the drying of the article. The article being formed, the band 24, which is detachable from the tension chain 28, is suitably clamped to it and the article and band are removed from the core, the jacket being adapted to be opened at the ends, and to be distended or opened along the body to relieve the pressure of the rollers 7. The band thus serves as the outer mould to retain the article in shape while being further heated. An outer tube may be placed on the core before the article is formed, this tube being removed with the article to serve as an inner mould while the article is being dried. Or instead of this tube, a support may be inserted into the article after withdrawal. In modifications, the rollers 7 may be replaced by a weighted roller, and the core or former may be in a vertical position. In the case of previously-glued plates, the edges, which are chamfered, are, after the article is formed, glued together by a device such as that shown in Figs. 18 and 19, in which the edges are held between blocks or supports 46 held fast by clamps 47 provided with guiding-flanges 49 under which wedges 48 are driven. The articles may be lined with enamel, metal, or glass, or by plating by an electric process.

Title: Improvements in Stands or Supports for Cycles, Motor-cycles and other Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: FUGE RICHARD PURCELL
Filed: 1903-12-28
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 28,451. Fuge, R. P. Dec. 28. Motor cycles ; supports; starting, facilitating.-Cunsists of a support for cycles, motor cycles, and other motor vehicles, which, when in use, holds the driving- wheel clear of the ground, and, on being released, allows the vehicle to roll forward upon it until the driving-wheel comes to the ground. Figs. 1, 6, and 16 show typical examples of the fifteen modifications described. The stand itself is of two types. In one, Figs. 1 and 6, it consists of frames a pivoted at or near the centre of the driving-wheel ; in the other, it consists of plates a<3>, Fig. 16, pivoted in extensions of the vehicle frame. In both cases, the edges in contact with the ground are curved eccentrically to the points of connection to the vehicle frame. The stand is retained in its supporting position by means of a stop, such as d, Fig. 1, or by other means, under control of the driver by a wire or linkage &c. ; on the stop or its equivalent being released, the stand collapses and the vehicle rolls forward upon it until the driving-wheel comes to the ground. The stand is then raised to a position such as that shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, where it may be held by a catch, the raising being effected by means such as a spring g and cord h, or by a counterweight which may be in the form of a toolholder, or by various other devices such as toothed gearing or linkage, or by connecting the stand with the rotating pulley w, as shown for instance in Fig. 6. In some cases, the stand is fitted with an extension such as a<2>, Fig. 6, which serves to some extent as a stop, and of which various forms are described. The part of the stand liable to trail on the ground may be fitted with a roller.
Patent GB-190404977-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Safety Guard for Ironing Machines and the like.
Inventor: LIDDELL PHILIP SMART
Filed: 1904-02-29
Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 4977. Liddell, P. S. Feb. 29. Ironing-machines of the type in which a roller revolves in a stationary bed are provided with guards to prevent the fingers of the worker from being drawn between the bed and roller. A cross-bar D is mounted in front of the roller A just above the feed-lip C. The feeding is done through the narrow intermediate space, a light grating E being placed to prevent feeding over the top of the cross-bar. End-frames F are fixed to the bar D, and are pivoted at the two points G. A plunger L linked to the cross-bar has a flattened lower end P, which, in the normal position, engages with a slot Q in the striking-bar R. If the plunger is raised, the action of the weight V draws back the striking-bar with the belt guides 1 and shifts the belt from the fast pulley Y to the loose one X, thereby stopping the machine. A balancing-lever N, with an adjustable weight Z, nearly counteracts the downward tendency of the cross-bar D and its plunger, so that a slight upward pressure on the bar, as by the knuckles of the worker coming into contact with it, is sufficient to operate the release. Springs may be substituted for the weights, and the device may be applied equally to machines with a movable feed-lip and to machines driven by clutches initead of belts.

Title: Improved Method of Treating Coal for Coking purposes.
Inventor: PATTERSON WILLIAM JOSHUA
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 17,580. Patterson, W. J. Aug. 12. Coking.-Coal is washed before coking, by the apparatus shown in general view in Fig. 1. Coal from a mine shaft or cars is fed into the hopper 5, and thence through the feeder 6<a> and breakers 7, 8, to an elevator 9, conveyer 10, bins 11, and washers 12 supplied with water from the tank 13. In the latter, it loses impurities, and water and coal in equal proportions pass together along the sluice 13<a> to a longitudinal trough 14 provided at intervals with troughs 15, from which it passes by one of two shoots 16, mounted on truss-frames 17 and movable longitudinally upon rails 19, into the settling-tanks 2. Three of these tanks are placed end-on and are provided with the same tile drains 27 and a common water outflow 29, leading to a well 30 and provided with valves so that the water may either be pumped back to the tank 13 or allowed to pass away along the pipe 31. There may either be a filter bed in the settling-tank, or the coal may form its own filter. Water is thus drawn off at its maximum purity, and, by means of the elevator, Fig. 4, coal is removed from the top of the settled mass, where it is rendered compact by the pressure of the water and is compiratively dry. The travelling bridge 45 moves preferably on tracks 46 and carries at one end a. hopper 47 over the track 48 for the removing-cars, the coal being conducted to them by a transverse conveyer 49 upon the bridge. The trolley 54 carries an elevator 55 consisting of fixed and telescoping tubes 57, 56, of which the latter is almost entirely counterbalanced by the pull of weights 73 on the ropes 71. Passing around a pulley 60 at the lower end, is a chain 58 with buckets 59, which is also led over wheels 6l, 62, 64, 65 upon the carriage to discharge the coal through a shoot 66 into the conveyer. An electric motor 70 with suitable gearing is prcvided for moving the slide 69 which carries the guidewheel 65 along the ways 68, for the purpose of shortening or lengthening the depending part of the bucket chains.
