Renewable and integral calks and treads; hoof-pads; fixing. - A horseshoe a, Fig. 2, is provided with a square-cornered rabbet b so that, when the shoe is burnt on to the hoof A, a shoulder c is formed on the hoof and prevents the shoe from being laterally displaced. In order to prevent the entrance of water and clay between the hoof and shoe, the shoe, whether formed with or without a square-cornered rabbet, is provided with an india-rubber cushion d, Fig. 3, located in a hooked recess e so as to bear against the sole of the hoof. Grooves i, i<1> rolled in the wearing-face of the shoe are provided with square corners i<2>, Fig. 4, and serve as guides for the stamping of the nail-holes, the holes on one side of the shoe being made in one groove and those for the other side in the other groove. When a hole is punched, the corner i<2> and the wall between the grooves i, i<1> are flattened or forced back, as shown in Fig. 3. When the nail is driven in, the grip on its head thus obtained does not slacken even when the head is considerably worn. The edges of the shoe may be inclined, Fig. 4, or perpendicular to the faces. The Provisional Specification also describes a shoe provided with a shallow groove in the hoof surface, various cross-sections of material for making shoes, an arrangement of elastic material that may extend around the iuuer edge over the wearing face of the shoe, a shoe with a case-hardened rim, and a shoe having resiliently-supported renewable calks or gripping-pieces.

Abstract: 18,348. Watson, G., and Watson, F. L. Aug. 14. [Cognate Application, 18,934/11.] Grates; refuse-consuming furnaces.-A removable grate for a refuse-destructor or other furnace consists of a tipping-truck a running on rails into the furnace, and has blast-supplying and cooling means. The walls of the furnace overhang the grate, and a dead-plate g is provided at the rear. The truck has a double bottom j, k, the inner one being perforated, and a blast nozzle i fits into a port l at the front or rear of the space between them, or a tuyere is laid in the bottom of the truck. Either or both of the bottoms may be corrugated to prevent distortion, and water cooling may be adopted. The space between the bottoms may be wholly or partly filled with water, some of which may pass into the blast to form water gas. The water-level may be maintained by a ball cock or by an adjustable drip cock. Alternatively, live or exhaust steam or water may be introduced between the bottoms by a pipe m. When the clinker fills the truck, the live fuel is pushed on to the dead-plate g, and the truck is run away to a cooling-yard and discharged. An empty truck is meanwhile run into the furnace, and the live fuel is drawn into it from the dead-plate and a new charge introduced above it. Alternatively, the truck containing clinker may be run into an air-tight chamber, and the blast may be passed through it so as to be heated.

The dash-pot is fitted with adjustable escape valves p and non-return valves q. In one modification, the target is operated by a crank disk driven by a coiled spring, motor, &c. and controlled by a sliding escapement rod actuated by the tappets. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the crank disk s is provided with two tappets V, W which act on pins X, Z of different lengths on opposite arms of a pivoted escapement t, and can be adjusted circumferentially to regulate the relative time of appearance and disappearance of the target. The periodic time of a complete up-and-down movement of the target is varied by adjusting the speed of the operating-gear. A small battery may be used as the source of power by storing up the energy in a raised weight or wound spring during the period the target is at rest.

Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 22,781. Buell, J. W. Oct. 16. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains; lamp signals.-The working circuit which actuates brakes and signals on a train is controlled by a circuit comprising two branches, one of which includes a partial track circuit through a track rail or round an insulated rail joint and dependent upon a track relay, all the circuits being normally closed so that any defect causes a danger signal or application of the brakes. Two coils of the controlling differential relay are arranged as in a Wheatstone bridge. The track relay R is slow acting and bridges the joint 4 if the track is clear. If the relay is de-energized, the circuit of the magnet 7 is broken or its resistance increased when the wheels 14, 15 are at opposite sides of the joint 4. Normally the magnets 7, 8 are both energized, and the switch 9 closes the circuit of the valve-operating magnet 25, which keeps the valve 31 closed. The magnets 7. 8, with the resistances 20, 20<1>, and the wire b are arranged as a Wheatstone bridge, so that any increase of resistance between the wheels 14, 15, as at a joint 4 which may be faulty so as not to interrupt the circuit totally, causes a weakening of the magnet 7 and a strengthening of the magnet 8 to ensure tripping the switch 9. The magnet 25, lamps 34, and resistance 35 are adjusted so that the lamps, which are normally dull, are illuminated when the circuit of magnet 25 is broken at the switch 9. The apparatus is restored to normal by opening the switch 22.
