Abstract: 5499. Peart, J. March 5. Brakes.-Brakes capable of being applied from either side of a wagon or other vehicle are caused to act with equal pressure on both sides of the wheels. The blocks i are hung by links j, k from triangular brackets e, bolted to the axle-boxes f and connected by bars h. Levers n, pivoted on the links k, are connected to push-rods d and, through bars o, to the links j. The push-rods at each side of the vehicle are operated from a transverse shaft b by means of a rod q, connected to a bell-crank lever t, the upper arm of which is forked and slotted to engage a nut w working on a screwthreaded shaft y, which carries a hand-wheel z at each side of the vehicle. The links j, k may be hung from the underframing, the brackets e being dispensed with. Hand-levers, fixed on the ends of the shaft b, are sometimes used to operate the brakes. The brakes may be adapted to act only on the wheels at one side or one end of a vehicle ; or those at the two sides or ends may be operated independently. A modified arrangement for operating the brakes of the end wheels of a wagon is shown in Fig. 7. The hand-lever 6, pivoted to the end of the wagon at 7, works in a guide 8, preferably provided with a rack, and is connected, by a rod9, to a crank 10 on across-shaft 11. This shaft is mounted in plates 12, on which are fitted steps 15 for the brakesman, and carries cranks 13 which are connected to the push-rods d.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 1300. Cassella & Co., L. July 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyeing.-Sulphuretted dyes are printed on textile fabrics in the presence of a compound of sodium hyposulphite (hydrosulphite) and glycerine, whereby the metal printing-rollers are not attacked and the dyes are fixed in deep shades since they are soluble in the said compound and the latter is easily decomposed on steaming. Insoluble dyes can thus be fixed in the fibre. The compound is prepared by mixing sodium hyposulphite in paste, with glycerine of 27À4‹ BÚ. and caustic-soda lye of 45‹ BÚ. To prepare a black printing-colour, for example, immedial black N N R concentrated and the said compound are heated to 50-60‹ C., and, on cooling, China-clay, a saturated solution of common salt, and alkaline thickening are added. A blue printing-colour is similarly prepared from immedial indone R concentrated, with the addition of caustic-soda lye. The colours may be mixed with hyraldite or other formaldehyde-hyposulphite compound and be used for producing coloured discharges uponp-nitraniline red and other azo colours.

Abstract: 12,889. Stitt, W. R. June 2. Loom stop-motions ; w a r p, d e - tecting faults in. -Relates to the warp stop - motion described in Specification No. 11,349, A.D. 1903. The catch-bar E, Figs. 1 and 6, is made of round section and is formed at the top with a longitudinal groove e, which is engaged by an internal tongue or projection a' on the loop a of a fallen heald when the heald frame is at its lower position, the tension of the intact warps raising the corresponding loops from the bar E. The catch-bar is provided with a crank e<1> which engages with a slotted cam f on the normally stationary rod F, the movement of the heald up and down giving two half-revolutions to the crank and bar E. When a warp-breakage occurs and the rotation of the bar E is prevented, the rod F is raised and stops the loom, a wire g, Fig. 12, attached to the upper connecting-rod, withdrawing a pivoted latch g<1> and thus allowing a block or shutter H on the stop-rod to fall into the path of a pin on the lay, so that the knocking- off handle is actuated, or the loom is stopped otherwise. If desired, the rising rod F may actuate a normally-horizontal semaphore or signal F<1>, Fig. 10<a>, which is then kept in its vertical position by a spring until the attendant replaces it in its normal position. The semaphore may carry a ratchet R which is normally out of the path of, but is then placed in position to be operated by, a pawl r on a reciprocating lever, the wire g referred to above being, in this case, adapted to be wound up, so that the loom is stopped after a definite interval of time. Loom lifting-cord equivalents.-The heald frames are adjustably connected by straps K, Fig. 11, and screws k to the top roller R<1>, a similar screw and strap being applied to the bottom of the heald frame.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 14,897. Boult, A. J., [Hennig, E. A. P.]. June 30. Instruments with sonorous strings.-Keyboard instruments, in which strings are vibrated by frictional contact with a travelling band, are provided with several strings for each note, and the rocking supports for the strings are mounted on the soundboard itself in such a way as to reduce wear and relieve the soundboard from the pressure of the inoperative strings. In the instrument shown in Fig. 3, keys G are positively connected by pivoted links i to rockers H, Fig. 5, which are brought from an inclined to a vertical position by the depression of the keys. each carrying two strings B, B<1> into contact with the endless travelling band F. Springs r pivoted at s are arranged to bear on the band on one or both sides of the strings. The springs B, B<1> are stretched between supports k, l, k<1>, l<1> respectively, arranged in double rows, in alinement with the pivots of the rocker, in such a way as to prevent contact between the strings. The supports may however be arranged slightly out of alinement in order to impart springiness to the action. To allow for the progressive shortening of the strings from bass to treble, the heights of the supports k, k<1> are progressively increased and those of the supports l, l<1> correspondingly diminished, the rockers being supported in a correspondingly oblique position on the soundboard. The supporting-blocks J for the rockers are arranged between the steps b of a ladder-like structure which is adjustably mounted across the soundboard so as to take up side thrust. The rockers are mounted on their supports T by means of pins K, Fig. 6, cylinder and socket joints, Fig. 8, cylindrical bearings, box-like supports, or a knife-edge and notch as shown in Fig. 5 ; the bearing-surfaces may be divided as in Fig. 8. End supports h, Fig. 8, are provided to counteract the effect of the unequal division of the strings, and abutments L, Fig. 5, or springs L' to limit the movement of the rockers. For the oblique rockers, a ball-and-socket joint may be used. The several strings for each note may be arranged to come into operation simultaneously or successively. A double string may be obtained by passing the wire over a pulley at one end. Curved dampers are mounted on a single bar or on or above the soundboard, and may be formed with adjustable ends as shown in Fig. 22. The speed of the travelling band is regulated by treadle or otherwise.
