Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Better Dressing and Cleaning of Grain to be used either Separately or in Conjunction with Thrashing or other Machinery.
Inventor: MORTON ROBERT GRAY
Filed: 1903-04-06
Granted: 1904-03-17
Abstract: 7884. Morton, R. G., and Morton, D. A. April 6. Sifting and separating grain.-Relates to apparatus for cleaning or dressing grain, applicable for use separately or in combination with thrashing or other machines. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a thrashing-machine with a drum 4. The grain and small chaff, separated by the concave and shakers and passed through the riddle 9, as usual, are fed to a pneumatic elevator 10, which delivers them through a pipe 11 into a vertical pipe 12 having a hood at its upper end. The pipe 12 is formed with a downward extension 13, down which the grain passes. In passing down the inclined portion 15 of the passage 13, the grain is subjected to a further purification by a blast from a suction fan 16, which discharges the light impurities at the rear of the machine. Light grain, carried upwards by the blast from the fan 16, falls into the pocket 17 with hinged door 18, from which it is periodically removed. The grain falls from the pipe 13 upon the uppermost of a series of sieves, mounted transversely in relation to the machine, in a box 25 suspended by hangers 26, and driven by a connecting-rod 27, which also drives the longitudinal sieves 14. The sieves are thus reciprocated at right-angles to the direction in which the grain passes over them, and this is stated to facilitate the separation of the grain.

Patent GB-190321939-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Signalling through Submarine and like Cables.
Inventor: LODGE OLIVER JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-10-12
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 21,939. Lodge, Sir O. J., and Muirhead, A. Oct. 12. Telegraphs.-Relates to the transmission of signals through submarine and like cables by means of inductive current surges of high electromotive force, the signals being curbed by current surges of opposite sign. Either hand or automatic sending instruments may be used. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, current flows continuously through the circuit g, which includes the inductance coils b, c. The cable and earth connections are made at points of equal potential. When the circuit g is broken by the depression of the key i the coil b sends a current surge to line followed by a steady current of much lower electromotive force. The steady current may be used in signalling to produce a long " dash " instead of a succession of " dots." When the key i rises, a second surge effects the curbing of the signal. The opposite signal is sent by the key h. The keys may be depressed by the armatures of electromagnets controlled by an automatic transmitter. The coils b, c may be placed close together, the surge from each coil being aided by the mutual induction from the other. Fig. 3 shows a modified arrangement in which there is no appreciable "follow on" current into the cable. The inductance coils v, w are in this case arranged in parallel circuits. Instead of connecting the cable and earth, as shown in Fig. 3, the cable may be connected to earth through a coil possessing mutual induction with the coils v, w. Fig. 4 shows another arrangement in which the batteries 1, 2 are in opposition, each supplying current to one of the coils 5, 6. Condensers 7, 8 with shunts 9, 10 are used to prevent sparking at the keys. In this case, also, the cable may be connected to earth through a coil possessing mutual induction with the coils 5, 6. In a modification based on that shown in Fig. 1, a coil of large self induction is bridged across the circuit g between cable and earth. It acts as an obstacle to sudden surges, directing them into the cable, but it allows earth currents &c.to pass. Any of the above arrangements may be used in connection with the known systems of duplex telegraphy.

Abstract: 4323. Moulton, W., [trading as Moulton, G.]. Feb. 22. Soaps.-Apparatus for providing corks with moulded beads, stated also to be applicable to pressing soap tablets, consists of an endless chain of dies or die-holders a, Figs. 2 and 3, formed of metal chambers hollowed to receive interchangeable plates b, bored at c to hold the corks, and superimposed plates d which are cut to form the rims of the heads. The holders are bevelled at a<1> and are perforated at a<2> to admit an injector. The chain is carried on two pulleys h, i along a table k between guides 5. The pulley h has a plain flanged periphery, but the driving-pulley i is provided with cross-pieces or spindles l, engaging in the spaces between the lower dies. The intermittent rotation of the pulley i is effected by a ratchet x and pawl w on a bell crank v, actuated by a worm-wheel on the main shaft n, Figs. 2 and 4, gearing with a wheel n<1> on a countershaft o, carrying a disc p oscillating the slotted arm p on the shaft s which carries a crank t and an adjustable connecting-rod u connected with the bell crank v. The shaft s carries a forked arm y, shown in plan in Fig. 3, adapted to depress the disc z attached to a spring-supported plunger 2, thus ejecting the corks from the dies. The corks are placed in position by hand and forced into the die by the plunger 6, actuated by a disc 9 and rod 10 through a wheel on the shaft 11 and a pinion 12 on the main shaft. The cork is then brought to rest to receive a charge of plastic composition from the vessel 14, Fig. 9, formed with a jacket containing heated glycerine or other liquid, of high boiling point and provided with a revolving screw driven by bevel gearing from the shaft 11. The delivery orifice 17 is closed normally by a knife-blade 18, carried by a pivoted lever 19 actuated by a cam 20, so adjusted that the roller 20<a> comes on to the smaller diameter of the cam when the die is below the orifice. The cam-surface is formed by a number of unequal segments 20, formed with inclined edges and rotatably secured by bolts 24, provided with tapered heads inserted at the hole 27, to the disc 9, Fig. 11, which is provided with a flange 22 carrying an undercut annular groove 23. The cork passes from under the feeding-apparatus to the die 29 moving in slides 30, and actuated by a crank 31 and connecting-rod 32. Besides the guides 5, an additional guide consists of a twopronged plate 35, Figs. 14 and 15, secured to the back of the plunger 28, the prongs being in advance of the plunger and bringing the lower die into its proper position. An alternative method of actuating the upper die consists of a cam 36, mounted on the crank 31, and a head 37 on the connecting-rod 32, maintained in contact with the cam by a weighted lever 38.
