Inventor: HARTIG IGNATZ
Filed: 1897-05-12
Granted: 1898-05-12
Abstract: 11,832. Hartig, I. May 12. Lighting and extinguishing gas. - Relates to means for simultaneously lighting all the gas lamps of a train, and also for independently lighting and extinguishing the lamps in single carriages. Beneath each carriage runs a shaft f provided with spring couplings f<1>, which automatically connect together when the train is made up and form a continuous shaft, which may be turned by a hand-wheel g at the end of the train. Upon operating the shaft f, the turning-movement is communicated by chains h to shafts c on the tops of the carriages, and the shafts c actuate the gas cocks of the lamps through chains a, the main burners being lit by pilot jets. When the handwheel g is released, springs b, d turn the shafts c in the reverse direction and close the gas cocks. The lamps in any carriage which is not in use can be independently extinguished by disconnecting the spring-hook coupling k in the chain h.

Patent GB-189800426-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves for Pneumatic Tyred Wheels of Cycles and other Vehicles.
Inventor: OLIVER HEDLEY
Filed: 1898-01-06
Granted: 1898-11-05
Abstract: 426. Oliver, H. Jan. 6 Wheels with aircompressing appliances; t y r e s, pneumatic.- Relates to means for automatically i n f l a ting pneumatic tyres by the rotation of the wheel, a valve for cutting-off the supply of air to the tyre being shown in section in Fig. 1. The eccentric sheave B is adjusted, by means of the slot E and retaining-arrangement F, so as to give any desired stroke to the pump D to which the strap C is pivotally connected. The pump thus forces air down the inlet pipe I, from which it passes directly through the chamber of the valve G and outlet pipe J, into the tyre, when the valve occupies the position indicated by Fig. 1. The valve comprises two connected pistons l, l<1> which are forced towards the end 0 of the valve chamber by the spring N, the tension of which is adjusted by means of a screw cap M provided with an aperture R. When the pressure in the tyre and outlet pipe J reaches the desired limit, it slightly moves the valve against the action of the spring, and in so doing exposes the full area of the piston l<1> to the air pressure, which thus forces the valve along the chamber until the outlet pipe J is closed, and communication is opened between the inlet pipe I and the external atmosphere through the aperture K. If the pressure in the tyre becomes too great, it forces the valve still further along the chamber and opens communication between the tyre and external atmosphere through the pipe J, tube Q, and aperture S. A slightly-modified valve contains a non-return ball valve in the tube J.

By this arrangement the treadlelevers are not on their dead centres at the same moment. The arms B, B' are provided with holes or stops for the attachment of the rods C, C', so that the stroke of the treadle-levers may be adjustable.
Patent GB-189806058-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Transmitting Motion to a Distance by Means of Electrical Energy.
Filed: 1898-03-11
Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 6058. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Aktiengesellschaft]. March 11. Motors, synchronizing.- Relates to improvements upon the apparatus for transmitting motion to a distance described in Specification No. 8041, A.D. 1897. Instead of the transmitter and rec e i v e r being alike, the desired differences in phase or amplitude may be produced at the distant point by suitable means at the transmitting- point, such as the inclusion or exclusion of coils in a transformer. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement for a three - phased current system. P is the generator, U the transmitter, and T the transformer. The coils of the transformer are divided into sections a' ... a<4>, b<1>... b<4>, and c' ... c<4>, and these are connected to contacts similarly lettered on the transmitter. The transmitter has six radial arms K<1> ... K<6> rubbing over six rings h<1> ... h<6> connected to the coils of the receivers Under these conditions any movement of the transmitter, which requires very little energy, will be repeated by the receiver. In modifications, the transformer may have a secondary winding which is connected to a distant point, or the transformer may be arranged for other than three-phase currents and may be adapted to produce a rectilinear motion.

Title: An Improved Non-Refillable Bottle.
Inventor: COOZE CHARLES JOSEPH
Filed: 1899-10-05
Granted: 1900-02-10
Abstract: 19,992. Cooze, C. J. Oct. 5. Refilling, preventing.- The disc 3 is provided with a U-trap 4, having serrated edges 4<a>, and is cemented on the shoulder 3<a> of the neck. An air tube 5 passes through the disc, and extends to the bottom of the bottle. This tube primarily extends above the mouth of the bottle, but is weakened at the point 6, where it is broken off when the bottle is filled. The filling operation is effected by attaching the projecting end of the tube 5 to an air pump &c., and exhausting the air from the bottle while it is inverted in the liquid to be bottled. After filling, the tube 5 is broken at 6, and a perforated disc 7, adapted to protect the trap, is cemented on the shoulder 7<6>. In a modification, the disc 7 is placed in line with the part 6, and can be inserted before filling. The air tube 5 permits the liquid to be poured out through the trap, but, on attempting refilling, the liquid chokes the trap and air tube, so that the air cannot escape, nor the liquid enter the bottle. In a modification, the trap consists of a bowl, provided with a vertical partition fixed to the disc 3.

Abstract: 11,863. Perkins, J. A. Dec. 1, A.D. 1899, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Axle-boxes.-The rollers B are maintained in place by a cage consisting of end rings D connected by bars D'. The spindles D<2>, which pass through the rollers, are fixed in the end rings so that they cannot turn. The rollers are held out of contact with the rings D and spindles D<2> by balls E running in recesses in their ends. The flanges E' forming these recesses are cut away externally to prevent injury to the metal through the hammering action of the balls. The cage is maintained in position by the collars H, H<1> on the journal. The distance between these collars is greater than the length of the cage, which is normally out of contact with either. The collars are faced with non- metallic washers 101, 102. The outer collar H<1> is removable, and its outer face bears against the balls M, which take the thrust ; these balls are placed in the annular groove C<4> and are retained by the plate M' secured by studs N. In order that any dirt collecting in the bearing may drop from the rollers, a recess F is made in the bottom of the box. The apertures leading to this recess are such that, although the whole length of each roller is exposed in passing over them, the roller is always supported for some portion of its length. By removing the plugs F<2>, F<3>, the whole bearing can be cleaned out.
