Title: Improved Safety Apparatus for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: OCHSCHIM RUDOLF
Filed: 1907-10-25
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 23,567. Ochschim, R. Oct. 25. Signalling-systems; cont a c t s, mechanical. - To prevent collisions between trains travelling in opposite directions on a single track, a lever is provided whicb, when moved over by the passage of a train, raises into operative position another lever further along the track which gives a signal on or stops a train coming in the opposite direction. The lever a, Fig. 1, is pivoted on a sleeper and has a wire connexion b with the hoop c, which is raised against a stop on the track when the lever a is lowered. A similar lever and hoop are provided on the other side of the track for trains running in the opposite direction. The engine carries a depending lever d, Fig. 5, and a hoop h. The hoop h serves to depress the levers a, while the lever d engages with the hoops d when they are raised and so moves the angle lever f, which is connected by a wire e with a whistle or other signal in the cab, or with a brakeapplying apparatus. When a train passes along the track, it first. depresses the lever a and then, if no train is coming in the opposite direction, the hoop h again depresses the hoop c and raises the lever a to its normal upright position.

For lateral adjustment, the whole rear mount is traversed in a dovetail groove 36, Fig. 2, by a screw 47. A spring 51, Fig. 2, is placed in a recess in the side of the dovetail rib 23 to take up slack. The telescope is kept from rotating by the engagement of a nose 14, Fig. 4, on the spring-pressed plunger 10 in the base of the fore mount with a groove 15, Fig. 1<a>, in the underside of the telescope. Both mounts are detachably secured to the fire-arm by sliding dovetail joints and set-screws.

Title: Improvements in the Construction and Method of Operation of Hydrogen Gas Producing Apparatus.
Inventor: LANE HOWARD
IPC: C01B3/06
Filed: 1909-07-29
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 17,591. Lane, H. July 29. Hydrogen. - In the process for preparing hydrogen by passing steam and reducing-gas alternately over iron, iron oxide, or other oxidizable material, as described in Specification 10,356/03, it is found that reduction of the material requires a much longer time than oxidation. To allow for this, the retorts are arranged in three or more groups X, Y, Z, and the gas-ways to them are controlled bv threeway valves x<1>, y<1>, z<1> and x<3>, y<3>, z<3>, which have the additional advantage that air may be passed periodically through the retorts to restore the material to its original activity. In working the apparatus, water gas from a producer A passes into a seal-box a<2>, where it mixes with the excess of reducing-gas returned from the retorts through a pipe L, a part of this excess being drawn off to heat the retorts, which are maintained at will in an atmosphere of combustible gas so as to prevent undue corrosion The gas then passes through a washer and cooler B, where it is deprived of mechanical impurities, into a compressor D controlled by a regulating gas-holder C. The compressed gas is purified in a receiver E packed with coke &c., down which water trickles, removing sulphurous acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, carbonic acid, moisture, &c. The gas passes through a reliefvalve e<1> into a holder F, from which it is passed into the retorts. After the material has been reduced, steam is admitted by a pipe g<5>, the first portion of the gas being mixed with the excess of reducing-gas, until such a time as pure hydrogen is evolved, which is then passed into a washer H. Air is supplied to the retorts through a fan J and a three-way valve j<1>, the waste gases escaping through a three - way valve K.

Abstract: 27,193. Norton, B. Nov. 23. [Cognate Application, 28307/09]. Jigging conveyers.-Relates to jigging conveyers or screens of the type in which the troughs are suspended by inclined pivoted links which oscillate on one side of their vertical position, and consists in (1) balancing such a screen or trough by a second screen or trough supported by extensions of the links below their fulcra, and (2) providing means for reversing the conveying movement of such a screen or trough when it is balanced in the manner mentioned above, or in the known manner by weights mounted on extensions of the supporting-links below their fulcra. Fig. 2 shows a screen A supported by inclined links, and balanced by a second trough D. Fig. 1 shows a screen balanced by weights, in which the conveying movement can be reversed by attaching the connecting-rod to one of the points K, F, and thus causing the link B to oscillate entirely on one side or the other of the vertical line H. The reversal may be effected by altering the length of the connecting-rod.

Abstract: 29,803. Wheway, S. G. Dec. 21. Hooks, slip.-To facilitate the releasing of fallen horses, the hooks for the tug chains or straps and breechings of cart, plough, and other harness are so constructed that the link of the tug chain &c. is placed on or removed from the hook by a lateral movement only. The hooks d, shown separately in Fig. 5, are secured to the shaft b by a U-shaped piece a, the arms a<2> of which are shouldered and pass through holes g in the hooks. Rotation of the hooks is prevented by screws i. The link f, which is inserted in the hook by a lateral movement, is retained by a pivoted hook-shaped catch k engaging behind a shoulder at the end of the hook d. In a modification the two hooks d are made in one piece, the screws i being dispensed with. The catches k may be prevented from jolting out of position by springs or cotters.

Filed: 1909-12-23
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 30,097. Koopman, E. B. Dec. 23. Riveting; riveted joints; welding.-In jointing metal structures for shipbuilding and other purposes by welding instead of riveting, weldpieces are inserted in holes in the parts, with which they coact so as to present a restricted area of contact and thus localize the heating effect of an electric current led through the parts, and pressure is then applied to complete the welding. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a headed tapered rivet 3 is passed through a hole in the plate 2 and engages the corners of a smaller hole in the plate 2<1> to localize the heating effect of the current which is conveyed by electrodes 4, 4<1> which also apply the pressure. In this case the rivet is welded only to the lower plate, but it may be welded to both plates, whether a headed or unheaded rivet is used. The burr of metal forced outwards by the pressure may effect a partial welding of the rivet to the upper plate also, and the underside of the hole in the upper plate may be countersunk to receive this metal, or the taper of the rivet may start inside the hole in the upper plate, or the hole in the upper plate may be of larger diameter than the rivet. In Fig. 7, a double cone piece 3 engages holes in both plates. The hole in the lower plate may be tapered instead of the rivet
