Patent GB-190412064-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or applicable to Winding Frames
Inventor: BROADBENT JAMES EDWARD
Filed: 1904-05-27
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 12,064. Broadbent, J. E., and Broadbent, J. May 27. Winding-mac h i n e s; building- motions.-T he thread-guide is fixed on an extension of a sliding rod e, Figs. 2 and 3, arranged above and between two parallel screws b, c, which are geared together to rotate in opposite directions, and driven through a cord pulley q. A rocking bar f mounted on the rod e carries bowls j, j <1>, or nut segments, to engage the screws alternately, and, when one bowl is depressed into engagement, the rod e is traversed in one direction, the engagement of the other bowl effecting its return movement. When either bowl engages a screw, the corresponding end of the bar f is prevented from rising by a guide g adjustable in length according to the required traverse. In moving to the right hand, the depressed end of the bar f, after passing clear of the guide g, is raised by an adjustable incline l<1>, the other end at the same time passing under a spriug p which depresses the other bowl into engagement with the screw c, whereby the return movement is effected. An incline l and a spring p act in a similar manner at the opposite end of the traverse. In a modification, the bowls are lifted out of engagement with the screws by cams formed at the ends of the screws, and a single longitudinal guide with acting-surfaces above and below is employed, additional curved guides at each end of the traverse replacing the springs p and inclines l, l<1>. The apparatus may be fitted in an oil box.

Title: Improvements in Means or Appliances for Opening, Closing and Fastening Fanlights, Casements and the like
Inventor: ASHMORE FREDERICK
Filed: 1904-06-18
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 13,802. Ashmore, F., and Thompson, T. H. June 18. Window opening and closing apparatus. - A lever a, pivoted to a bracket b attached to the fixed frame of a fanlight or casement, is connected by a knuckle joint to a link d, which is jointed to a plate e on the swinging frame f. To the lower part a<3> of the lever a is pivoted a catch g, having a weighted end g<3> and a nose g<2>, which, on the fanlight being closed, swings into engagement with a shoulder h on the bracket b, and thus acts as a fastener. The lever a and catch g have perforations j, i, Fig. 4, to receive a key k on the end of a pole k<2>, and the key, in bringing the perforations into coincidence, releases the catch g, thus allowing the fanlight to be opened. As shown in dotted lines, the lever a and link d are then in line and form a stay. The catch g may be actuated by a spring, while a cord or chain may be used instead of the key and pole. A modification is described in which the catch has a vertical sliding, instead of a swinging action.

Patent GB-190417503-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines
Filed: 1904-08-11
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 1 7 , 5 0 3 . Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 11. Steam &c. turbines.-The power of elastic-fluid turbines is increased by placing in the last stage two or more wheels in which all or practically all of the buckets are active, and by increasing the active area of the preceding wheels to an extent depending on the number of wheels in the last stage. Means are also described for preventing warping of the wheels. The shaft 1, Fig. 1, has mounted on it wheels 3 which revolve inside the casing 4, the upper end of which is closed by the cover 5. The chamber. forms part of, or leads to, a condenser. Diaphragms 9, mounted on shoulders formed in the casing 4, are situated between the wheels 3. The two last wheels are on opposite sides of the chamber 7 and discharge in opposite directions. The length of arc covered by the nozzles increases in the turbine shown from the first to the third stage, where the length is equal to the circumference of the wheel. Motive fluid is conveyed to the first stage through nozzles 13, each of which may be controlled by a separate valve 14 actuated by a piston 15, under the control of mechanical or electrical means or a combination of both, but a relay arrangement is preferred. To supply the last wheel with motive fluid, conduits 16 with hand-operated or automatic valves. or without valves, connect the chambers in which the two last wheels revolve. The chamber 17 is divided into sections of unequal capacities, each section supplying fluid to a certain number of nozzles. An automatic valve for the conduit 16 is shown in Fig. 3, in which the casing 4 has bolted to it a cylinder 24 containing a spring-loaded piston 21 with a tapered end to form the valve. An adjusting-screw 26 is fitted in the cylinder end 25. When the fluid pressure in the stage shown exceeds a given amount, the valve opens and allows fluid to flow to the lower part of the last stage. Owing to the presence of different temperatures on the sides of a wheel, there is a tendency to warp and, in the present case, this is prevented by connecting a pair of wheels through which the fluid flows in opposite directions-e.g., the two last wheels-by a cylindrical wall 28, when the tendencies to warp in opposite directions neutralize one another.
Patent GB-190419838-A (GB)
Title: Means by which the Points of and Electrical Railway or Car Line may be Operated from an Approaching Car
Inventor: MILLER THOMAS
Filed: 1904-09-15
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 19,838. Miller, T. Sept. 15. Switches for the rails of electric railways and tramways on the overhead-conductor system are operated by electromagnets which are excited from the overhead conductor by means under the control of the driver. Figs. 1 and 2 show an electric switch S on the vehicle connected to the usual distributing-block which is energized from the overhead conductor J. Insulated wires 3, 4 supported by the wires T, T<1> are placed near the points, and are engaged by auxiliary trolleys 1, 2 carried on branch arms of the trolley pole 0. By operating the switch S, a current will pass through the wire K, pole 0, trolley 1, auxiliary wire 3, supporting-wire T', and the wire K, down to the electromagnets in the box C, thereby operating the rail-points, and returning by the wires K<1>, 4 to the trolley 2 and switch S. To reverse the points, a current is reversed in the above circuit by reversing the switch. The electromagnets are shown in Figs. 2 and 4 situated in pairs facing one another in a waterproof box C having its surface level with the roadway. The two magnets A are connected to, and move with, the point-operating rod R, and have their windings in a branch circuit which is connected to earth through the resistance 5. By this device, the current always flows in the same direction through these coils, although its direction in the main circuit and the coils of the fixed magnets B may be varied at will. Thus, the points can be operated in either direction.

Abstract: 17,741. Gaede, W. Sept. 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Partitioned chamber revolving in liquid. -Relates to the known construction of air-pump for producing high vacua in which a drum 5 having two or more spirally or helically formed chambers 6<a>, 6<b>, more than half-immersed in a liquid, preferably mercury, is so arranged as by its rotation alternately to take up into its chambers a body of air or gas from a receptacle to be exhausted, by way of a pipe 10, chamber 7, and ports 8<a>, and to discharge it into a space in which a partial vacuum is produced by an auxiliary pump connected to the pipe 12. The invention consists in constructing the chambers of the revolving drum so that they communicate with each other, as by the port 14, below the level of the liquid. By this means, a small portion only of the mercury, instead of the whole as hitherto, passes out of the chambers into the partial vacuum and then back again, which enables high vacua to be obtained.
