Title: An Improved Safety Winch.
Filed: 1904-09-08
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 19,406. improved Electric Glow Lamp Co., and Watsham, N. de M. Sept. 8. Winches are provided with mechanism for automatically locking the winding-barrel when the handle is released. The winding-drum is loosely mounted on the spindle C and is engaged by projections H on a false end G<1>. This false end is driven by projections F on the spindle C, engaging projections G which are tapered at the bottom. When the handle is free, a spring K forces the false end G<1> outwards and causes teeth on the portion O to engage recessed ratchet teeth on the inside of the casing-cover B, thereby locking the drum. On turning the handle, the projections F come into contact with the tapered portions of the projections G on the false end, and the latter is thus forced inwards against the action of the spring, thereby disengaging the two sets of teeth at O and releasing the drum. With this arrangement, a load can be lowered slowly by holding the handle and keeping the projections F always in engagement with the projections G.

Ribs 28 are formed between the bottom plate and the core 21<a> ; they serve to direct and to divide the steam entering the drum. Above the bearing 19 is a perforated box 20 containing packing which acts as a filter for oil finding its way into the bearings.
Patent GB-190423927-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: BAILEY WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1904-11-05
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 23,927. Bailey, Sir W. H., and Bailey, A. J. Nov. 5. Steam traps having counterbalanced vessels are formed with flexible pipe connections, so as to obviate the necessity of steam-tight trunnions or swivels. A simple construction is shown in Fig. 1. As water accumulates in the vessel a, it lifts the counterweight e and depresses the outlet valve h. The inlet and outlet connections are formed by flexible pipes f, g. Fig. 4 shows another trap, in the "empty" position. The counterbalanced vessel a communicates through a pipe g with the chamber of the valve h, the spindle i of which is hollow and carries a piston j, of larger area than the valve k, working in a cylinder k. An auxiliary valve p, controlled by the pivoted arm b, is fitted, ports o, n respectively connecting the spaces above and below it with corresponding parts of the cylinder k. Other ports l, i<1> respectively establish communication between the drain pipe f and the space below the piston j and between the interior of the valve spindle i and the upper part of the cylinder. The fall of the vessel a causes the valve p to open, thus establishing communication between the spice below the piston and the exhaust pipe u, and relieving the pressure below the piston. The valve h is then free to open under the steam pressure, allowing the trapped water to escape. A flexible pipe s connecting the top of the vessel a with the steam pipe allows any air entering to pass back into the steam pipe. A strainer q is also provided.

Title: Improvements in Load Carriers or Hooks.
Inventor: WINZER HENNY
Filed: 1905-01-11
Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 575. Winzer [nÚe Graper], H. Jan. 13, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hooks provided with mechanism for counting the number of loads. Figs. 2 and 4 are vertical sections on the lines A-B, C-D, respectively, of Fig. 1. The hook a is provided with the movable tongue b, which is moved to open and close the hook by the pivoted block c, linked to the rod d, which is acted upon by the spring f tending to keep the hook open. The guide g on the rod d surrounds the shaft h, which carries cams i, k, l, and tends to rotate under the action of the spring m. When the load is applied, the rod d rises, and the shaft h rotates, bringing the cam i below the upper part of the slide g, and thus locking the parts. While the slide g rises, the catch n turns the cam p on the axle o, causing the bell-crank lever q to release the cam t on the shaft s. When the load is released, the shaft s is rotated once by means of a key to actuate the counting-mechanism, causing the cam v to depress the lever w, which pushes the lever y against the cam l. This causes the cam i to release the slide g, and the rod d drops, opening the mouth of the hook.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Conversion into Gas or Vapors and the Distillation of Difficulty Volatile and other Liquids.
Filed: 1905-03-02
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 4352. Liebenthal, B., Bieber, C., and Inhalatorien-Ges. System Dr. Heryng. March 2. Inhalers.-Difficultly volatile and other liquids, e.g. oils, are vaporized by means of the throttling effect obtained by passing a spray of the liquid, induced by means of compressed-air, steam, or the like, into a constricted passage. The liquid is sucked up through the tube d by means of the gas entering by the tube c, and passes as spray through the chamber k into a tube a of smaller diameter. A lyre-shaped or coiled tube is used, and the nnvolatilized liquid is drawn off at the lowest part b. In this way, a non-conducting layer of liquid is formed on the inner wall, which prevents loss of heat. Centrifugal action is said to be set up in certain parts of the lyre-shaped tube, and the accompanying reduction of pressure allows of further volatilization. An opening, for the admission of air and subsequent reduction of the temperature of the product, can be regulated by means of a sleeve or sleeves m. Axial scales r, r<1>, corresponding to the temperatures given with specific spraying- agents, and a reflecting-mirror t are provided.
