Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Preventing Accidents in connection with Tramcars, and other Road Vehicles.
Inventor: PHILIPSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-01-14
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 928. Philipson, W., Philipson, T. W. H., and Philipson, P. C. Jan. 14. Brakes; wheel guards and obstruction-removers.- Brakes for tramcars and other road vehicles, acting both on the wheels and the rails or roadway, com. prise blocks Y, for ordinary stoppages, operated by the hand-wheel q<1>, and blocks R for emergencies, actuated by the lever 0, which is maintained in position by a projection engaging a recess on the upper face of the fixture N. On turning the wheel q', a wire or chain n', connected to one end of the links m<1>, and passing over a yielding grooved pulley o' and thence round the spindle p<1> and back to the other end of the links, actuates the lever X and brings the front blocks Y to the wheels. The shoes Y are hung from the shaft W by the pivoted nuts n<1>, threaded stems c<1>, and pins d<1>, and are mounted on the transverse rods e<1> connected together by the adjustable rods h<1>. The springs z<3> normally hold the blocks away from the rails or roadway. Through the rods, the conductor at the back of the car, by turning the back wheel q<1>, is enabled to put on the front block Y. The blocks R are each carried between two sliding plates s connected together by cross-pins u, which move in inclined slots v in a block secured to the fixtures S'. When the lever o is operated by means of the rod p moved by the hand-lever 0, the rod r connected to the sliding plates is actuated so as to cause the plates to slide and move the blocks R longitudinally. The pins u, moving in the inclined slots, thus cause the blocks to be depressed upon the rails or roadway at the same time that they are moved towards the wheels ; the weight of the vehicle then comes on to the blocks. Pulling the lever 0 retards the forward motion of the car, while pushing the lever prevents backward movement. In an alternative arrangement, the shoes Y are actuated by a worm on the spindle p<1> turning a pinion which engages a rack connected to the lever X, while the screwed spindles c<1> are loosely mounted in the nuts b<1>, and are held by nuts and a spiral spring. The longitudinal springs I are adapted to pick up any obstruction coming in contact with the hanging gate M. This gate, on being forced back owing to a pin k on a disc i coming against a rod f, releases the hooked portion e from the centre g, and the springs drop. They are re-set by operating a lever l, when, through the rod j connected to the lever d, the springs are raised to the position shown on the left side of Fig. 1, and the hook e again engages the centre g.

Title: Improvements in Window Holders and Fastenings for Sliding Sashes.
Inventor: EMOND WALTER
Filed: 1904-04-11
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 8328. Emond, W. April 11. Window holders.-A toothed pinion B, engaging with a rack A on the edge of the sash, is loosely mounted on a spindle C supported in a housing D secured to the window frame. Corrugations formed within a recess B' in the pinion B engage with similar corrugations in the face of a disc E. The disc E is prevented from rotating by the square end C' of the spindle C engaging with similarly-shaped holes in the disc E and housing D. As the sash is raised or lowered, the pinion B is rotated, the disc E being pressed back, against the action of a spring E', as the corrugations pass over one another. The pressure of the spring E<1> is great enough to prevent the pinion B from being rotated by the weight of the sash. The sash may be securely fixed in its open or closed position by pressing a rod F inwards, against the spring H, so that the pin F<1> engages between the teeth of the pinion B. The rod F may be held in its locking-position by partially rotating it, shoulders F<4> on the flattened part F<3>, which slides in a slot G<1>, engaging behind a plate G.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Hubs and Bearings of Wheels.
Inventor: BUTLER HUGH MYDDLETON
Filed: 1904-06-17
Granted: 1905-05-18
Abstract: 13,739. Butler, H. M. June 17. Axle-boxes; hubs; securing on axles; lubricating wheels.-Hubs are constructed to be capable of elastically-controlled longitudinal movements on the axle arm. Bushes 5, 6, Fig. 1, are bored to receive sets of helical springs 3, 4, acting against plungers 10, 11, which bear against a collar 2 rigidly fixed to the axle arm. At the outer end, another series of plungers 12 bears against a disc 13, carried by a screwed shank 14 engaging with the outer end of the hub ; by adjustment of the screwed shank, the disc may be advanced inwards and the tension of both sets of springs simultaneously increased. In a modification, the inner set of springs is replaced by a single spring 9, Fig. 4, located in the hollow axle arm, and pressing at one end against an inturned collar 1 <x> and at the other against a plunger 12 supported by an adjustable bolt 14. The bent ends of a split-pin 20, securing a washer 2, enter a groove in the plunger and prevent rotation. In a further modification, the springs 8, 9, Fig. 7, disposed within containing-sleeves 26, 27, are carried by a bolt 25 secured at the outer end to the hub 7. The bolt may be held against rotation by a setscrew which passes through the axle arm, and enters a groove in the surface of the bolt. Lubricating is facilitated by the motion of the hub along the axle arm, and additional grooves may be pro. vided in the axle-box. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the top of the axle arm may be slotted for the insertion of the springs and their carrying-member.
