Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 15,578. Froggatt, B., Cook, W., and Bayley, T. July 12. Brakes. - Relates to hand-brakes, for railway wagons, trucks, and the like, of the kind which may be operated from either side of the vehicle. The hand-lever C, Fig. 1, being depressed, the spindle A operates the lever D' by means of a connection F', Fig. 2, with extensions F' working in recesses in the boss D of the lever D', the boss being loose on the shaft A. The extensions F<2> are somewhat smaller than the recesses, so that the levers C may be lifted after applying the brakes. The upper arm of the lever D' extends outwards, and is notched as shown in Fig. 1, so that the detent G may engage with it and hold the brakes. When the lever C is lifted, the horn C' lifts the detent G, and romoves the brakes. The notches on the lever D' may be arranged in steps, so that the brake is thrown off gradually. In a modification, the notches are cut in a piece H, Fig. 3, attached to the underframing of the wagon, and the lever D<1> is fitted with a pawl I. When the lever C is raised, the lever C' strikes the tail of the pawl I and releases the brakes. To prevent them from being released by the jolting of the vehicle, an arm J is pivoted loosely on the arm D', and rests on a stop J' on the hanger. A jolt which causes the lever C to rise also lifts the arm J, so that it forms a stop for the lever C', thus checking the lever C. In another modification, the lever D', Fig. 5, is fixed to the spindle A, which is rotated by the lever K placed loosely on the spindle A, the connecting-rod N, and the handlever C. The lug K<2> on the lever K engages with the lever D' and applies the brakes. In removing the brakes, the detent I is removed from the rack H by the arm K'. The locking-device shown in Fig. 1 may be used in this modification.

Title: Improvements in Wet Meters for Air, Gas and the like Fluids
Inventor: ALEXANDER WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-07-21
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 16,153. Alexander, W. July 21. Meters.-In wet meters for gas, air, and the like, a drum B, open at the bottom, and divided into three or more compartments, is mounted upon an inclined axis C. As the gas is admitted by the pipe A to each compartment in turn, the pressure of the gas upon the side of the partition of the compartment which is being filled is greater than upon the other side of the parti- tion, which is that of the compartment being emptied, and causes the drum to revolve. Thus each compartment has its inlet E and its outlet D successively opened to the inlet and outlet con- nections of the meter, the outlet D remaining under the surface of the water until the inlet E has also gone under the surface of the water. The quantity of gas delivered at each revolution of the drum may be varied by altering the inclination of the axis C, which carries the gearing F for indicating the number of revolutions of the drum.
