Granted: 1907-10-05
Abstract: 22,129. Philip, A., and Steele, L. J. Oct. 6. Explosive and combustible gases, detecting.-An apparatus for detectirg the presence of dangerous or combustible gases or vapours in submarines and other confined spaces comprises, in combination with a detector of the catalytic type, a system of piping, so that samples of air may be withdrawn from various parts of the space. The detector consists of a platinum &c. wire or resistance a arranged in parallel with a second wire a<1> in an electric circuit, a lamp c and solenoid d being also included in each branch. Both solenoids act upon a pivoted armature e connected to the common terminal of two lamps f, g, and adapted to make contact with either of the terminals h, k. The air to be tested flows in contact with the wire a but passes through a jacket surrounding the wire a<1>, unless this resistance is composed of carbon or some material having a negative temperature coefficient. The resistances are so adjusted that, normally, the armature makes contact with the terminal h and the red lamp g is thereby shortcircuited. If any combustible gas is present in the air undergoing treatment, the temperature of the wire a is raised and the resistance of that branch of the circuit increased so that the armature is attracted to the terminal k and the red lamp g lighted. The whole apparatus is enclosed and means are provided whereby the circuits are broken before any part of the apparatus. can be opened. The pipe system extends to all parts of the enclosed space, and the air is withdrawn, and forced through the detector, by means of a pump ; it may be used also in combination with a detector of the thermometric type, which depends on the activity of a catalytic agent. According to the Provisional Specification, the catalytic agent may be employed to actuate a thermostatic device, or to heat up a Nernst-lamp filament, add the apparatus is applicable for use in mines.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 5186. Boult, A. J., [Uhrich, B. H.]. March 4. Doors and door frames.-Relates to revolving door structures, the chief objects being to provide simple means for attaching and detaching the component leaves, to allow of a wide aperture when the door is not in use, and to render unnecessary the use of guiding-slots in the ceiling. The door consists of four curved wings ; the wings 2, 4 are formed with wide overlapping hanging stiles, while the wings 1, 3 are hinged thereto. Pivoted staybars 5, for holding the wings rigidly together, are secured by spring catches, to catch-plates on the adjacent wings. In a modified form, slots in the free ends of the arms 5 are pressed against fixed catch-plates by abutting spring latches. When the arms 5 are disengaged, the hinged wings 1, 3 can be folded up against the wings 2, 4, while the two pairs of wings, when disconnected from each other, can be swung, on pivots 35, flat against the cylindrical casings. The hanging stiles of the wings 2, 4 are rabbeted and faced with slotted metal plates 22<a>, Fig. 14, which are locked to the lower portion 11 of a ball-bearing hanger. The wing 2 is locked to the hanger by the insertion of a bell-crank arm 13 lying loose in the slot 22<a>, through a corresponding slot in the portion 11. The bell-crank is then turned through a right-angle, to effect permanent engagement, by depressing a link 21 ; this is accomplished by a sliding cam-plate worked by a key, the insertion of the lower pivot of the door structure, which is carried by the wing 2, into its socket, being simultaneously effected. The wings 2, 4 are locked together by similar bell-crank mechanism. Sliding- bolt mechanism is also applied to the swinging stiles of the wings 2, 4, by which the sliding pivots 35 can be shot into floor and ceiling sockets when it is required to dismount the structure.

Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a device for removing wheels from their axles; Fig. 6 a plan of a device for forcing wheels on their axles. The power shaft h, Fig. 1, screws through the swinging head c pivoted on an axle in the frame of the device, so that it can be inclined at various angles. Jaws d, e, pivoted to the swinging head, are made to grip the gear-wheel m<1> by screws f, g bearing against the arms of the gripping-jaws. The gripping-surfaces of the jaws are provided with hardened removable plates. The disk bearer h<1> fits into the end of the power shaft which is rapidly rotated by the band-wheel k until its end bears against the wheel axle. Greater power is then obtained by the lever l<1> and ratchet gear i, which rotates the power shaft more slowly, screwing it through the swinging head and forcing the axle through the wheel. For forcing wheels on to axles, the device is modified as shown in Fig. 6. Two long rods are pivoted at one end to the swinging head and are screwed at the other for adjusting the position of the cross-head o, which has open jaws to enable it to be readily removed and is recessed to receive a gear-wheel. The wheel axle is placed against the gear-wheel r<2>, and the power shaft and disk bearer are quickly brought against it by the hand-wheel k, the lever and ratchet being then used to force the wheel on to its axle.

Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 5859. Taylor, J. D. April 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches.-In an alternating-current motor-type relay for railway signalling, the armature of the relay motor rotates fast enough to cause a centrifugal governor-like arrangement on its shaft to close the local circuit, only when actuated by the high-frequency signalling-current, and not when any stray low-frequency or direct power current flows through its coils. The squirrel-cage-armature induction-type motor rotates at a speed which is almost directly proportional to the frequency, and, when the high - frequency signalling - current is flowing through the field-coils of the motor, the balls 28 of a centrifugal governor-like arrangement on the motor shaft fly out, and a shaft lying within the hollow shaft of the motor is raised.by the motion of the balls to such an extent that the contact arm 33 touches the local-circuit contact 34. The armature speed due to a low-frequency current is insufficient to cause the closure of the local circuit.
