Granted: 1904-02-02
Abstract: 18,964. Peckover, J. Feb. 2. Dressing and sawing stone.-Fig. 1 shows a machine in which the driving - gear and the frame carrying the saws or other tools are mounted in one main framing, placed on a single foundation. The main framing A is bolted to the foundation, and supports an upper auxiliary framing A<1>. The driving-shaft a has a crank, connected by a rod a' to a pair of rocking levers a<6>, which are connected by a pair of rods a<7> to the reciprocating frame S carrying the saws or other tools. The frame S is supported by brackets S' moving on guides on channel-bars C, which are raised and lowered by ropes passing to a shaft G driven by a belt to raise or lower the frame S quickly. Normally, the belt runs on a loose pulley, and the shaft G is driven through worm gearing from a spindle G<3>, which is rotated by ratchet gear. The pawls are carried by a lever reciprocated by a crank on the spindle e<2> which is driven from the shaft of the elevator B. When the saw frame S reaches the ends of its stroke, the slotted levers F<3> raise it, so that its weight is taken off the bars C, and power required to drive the machine reduced. The work is carried on a pair of beams E<6>, which can be moved transversely on rollers by means of ropes E<2>, and a winch E<4>. The beams are made of sufficient length to enable one piece of work to be placed in position or removed while another is being operated on. Adjustable stops F<6> are provided to arrest the downward movement of the tool frame, and, if desired, to stop the machine, when such work as a moulding has been cut to the required depth. The grit from the tools is received on corrugated plates B<5>, and is washed off by jets from the pipes B<6> on to other plates B<4> which direct it into a gutter B<3>, falling towards the end of the machine. In this gutter is a dam P<5>, over which the water and silt flow. The grit at the bottom of the gutter is carried by a screw, or by scrapers on an endless belt P<7>, towards an elevator, consisting of buckets suspended between belts B. At the top the buckets are tilted, and their contents are washed out by water jets from a pipe P<3> into an angular perforated trough P<4>. From the trough, the grit falls on to an inclined corrugated plate B', and thence on to a swinging corrugated plate B<8>, which distributes it over the work. The plate B<8> is oscillated by a crank on a spindle b<8>, which is driven by a belt from the driving- shaft a, and drives the elevator shaft by means of a belt and worm gearing.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Presses with Pressure Transmitting Apparatus.
Filed: 1902-12-24
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 28,565. Abel, C. D., [Haniel & Lueg]. Dec. 24. Hydraulic presses.-Relates to hydraulic presses with pressure transmitters or intensifiers of the kiud described in Specification No. 24,540, A.D. 1898. The second intensifier G referred to in the said Specification is made sufficiently large to receive the whole of the pressure fluid expelled from the press cylinder, thus dispensing with the tank K. Another modification makes the withdrawal cylinder independent of the second intensifier G. Also the piston-rod s, Fig 1, of the withdrawal cylinder is attached in a one-sided manner to the piston and to the crosshead l of the press plunger b. When the press plunger b is to be forced downwards, steam is admitted by the valve m to the second pressure-transmitter, and the valve gear h opens the communication between the latter and the press cylinder b. The water being forced into the press cylinder b from the cylinder g opens the check valve o, exercises sufficient pressure to overcome the counter pressure exercised by the withdrawal piston, and raises the transmitter piston to its highest position. Fig. 2 shows the check valve o closed and the valves h, m open, and Fig. 3 shows the position in which the valve m is open to exhaust while the valves h, o are establishing communica tion between the press cylinder b and the intensifier g, allowing the withdrawal of the plunger b.

Patent GB-190318364-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Railway Signalling Apparatus
Inventor: DODGSON FRANK LEMONT
Filed: 1903-08-25
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 18,364. Dodgson, F. L. March 27, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Controlling and locking signals; semaphore and similar outdoor signals ; indicators and repeaters, point or switch and signal. -Relates to apparatus for railway signalling, being an electrical adaptation of the invention described in Specification No. 183, A.D. 1900. A form adapted to two signals so that either may be operated through a common transmitting-device is shown in Fig. 2. Attached to the frame which carries the lever 0 are three pairs of contact springs-9, 10 ; 11, 12 ; and 15, 16-and a fourth pair of springs 13, 14. The rod 18 carries a fixed bridge 17 and a bridge 19 movable by and between the collars 20, 21. In the operating position 3‹, the bridge 17 connects the contacts 11, 12 and, during the last part of the movement of the lever to the left, the loose bridge 19 connects the contacts 15, 16. At the signal is a motor 22 and an electromagnet 23. On pulling the lever the motor pulls the signal down, and this breaks the contact 24, 25, thus disconnecting the motor but leaving the magnet 23 still in circuit, which keeps the signal down. Signal 49 or 50 is depressed according as the bridge 45 connects one set of contacts or the other and thus brings into action either electromagnet 46 or 47 to connect either the semaphore arm 50 or 49 with the signal rod 66 as shown in Fig. 5. The pull on the plunger 83 causes the pin 85 to engage with the shaft 78 to which the semaphore arm is keyed, and thus the arm receives motion from the rod 66. The mechanism by which the motion raises the signal rod 66 is shown in Fig. 3. The motor 22 turns the axle 64 on which a chain attached to rod 66 is wound. The axle 64 is connected to the gearing by a magnetic clutch shown in Fig. 6. A pawl 77 and ratchet-wheel 76 prevent backward movement of the gearing. Thus on circuit being made the motor winds the chain, and thus raises the rod 66 supported on pulley 67. On breaking the motor circuit the clutch and ratchet-wheel prevent backward motion, but on breaking the magnet circuit the clutch is released, and the rod 66 falls, its motion being checked by the dash-pot 68. The application of the above invention to a single signal is also described. The electrical indicator consists of the electromagnet 8 the circuit of which is closed by the contacts 25, 19, whereupon the roller 3 attached to the end of the armature 6 is raised into the position 1‹, and indicates that the signals are at danger.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Acid Nitriles.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1903-11-21
Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 25,464. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Nov. 21. Nitriles of the general formulawhere R<1> stands for an aromatic or aliphatic radicle, or for hydrogen, are prepared from mono- or polymolecular Schiff's bases, which are obtained by condensing together an aromatic amino compound and an aromatic or aliphatic aldehyde, by treating the powdered Schiff's bases at an elevated temperature with dilute aqueous or aqueous alcoholic solutions of hydrocyanic acid in closed vessels fitted with stirrers. For example, w-cyanmethyl-aniline is produced by adding an equivalent quantity of hydrochloric acid, and finelypowdered anhydroformaldehyde - aniline to an aqueous solution of potassium cyanide containing ice. The whole is stirred into a paste, heated for two hours in boiling water, and, after cooling, the solidified nitrile is filtered off. The preparations of phenyl-anilido acetonitrile, #-cyan-methyl-ptoluidine, #-cyan-benzyl-alpha-naphthylamine, w-cyanbenzyl-#-naphthylamine, # - cyan - o-chlor-benzylaniline, #-cyan-benzyl-anthranilic acid, and anthranilido-a - propionitrile are also described. The application of the invention to molecular bases obtained from aliphatic aldehyde is not claimed. Specifications Nos. 16,420 and 21,077, A.D. 1901, and No. 24,461, A.D. 1902, are referred to.

Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 2062. Heuser, E. J. Jan. 27. Dyeing.-Consists of apparatus for dyeing yarn in the hank or skein in which the yarn is lifted from the vat after a predetermined interval. The hanks are carried on interchangeable transport rollers 4 of any desired sectional area, and under guidepieces all mounted in an ordinary double adjustable frame 2, which rests on the false bottom of the vat 1. The rollers 4 are geared in pairs by means of spur-wheels 3, while an endless chain passes over wheels 41 on the first, third, fifth, &c. rollers, and round a wheel 18 on the main driving- shaft 17, whereby alternate rollers are driven in opposite directions. The dye is supplied by way of a funnel 33, a receptacle 34, and a pipe 35. Steam is fed into the receptacle 34, and uniformlyheated dye is distributed to the vat by nozzles 40 on spray pipes 37, 38. After a desired interval adjustable clockwork mechanism 24 releases a catch 23, and a weighted lever 21 falls over, allowing a spring 20 to throw a clutch 16 into operation, whereby a winding drum 15 is caused to raise the frame 2 out of the vat. When the bar 10 carrying the frame strikes a lever 26, the driving-band is moved off a fixed pulley 31 on to a loose one 32 by means of a fork 30 and levers 29, 28, 27, thus stopping the driving-mechanism. The lifting-rope passes over a traveller sliding on the top of the frame 13, so that the hank-frame 2 may be run along and, on releasing a pawl 39, lowered on to a stand at the side of the vat, so that the hanks may be removed.
