Patent GB-190523978-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Power Transmitting Devices.
Inventor: LEHWESS EDWARD ERNEST
Filed: 1905-11-21
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 23,978. Lehwess, E. E., and Clark, L. L. Nov. 21. Distributing. - Relates to power - transmitting devices of the kind in which a prime-mover is geared to the load through the medium of an electric generator and motor, and comprises means for effecting mechanical connexion between the parts of the generator and motor. The primemover 1 drives through an Oldham coupling the generator field structure 4, mounted in ball bearings in the frame, and enclosing the armature 8. The armature is mounted on a shaft 7 rotating in bearings in the field structure, and carrying at its outer end a plate 10, adapted to be clutched by teeth 17, 18 to the armature shaft of the motor 13, the field of which is fixed. The plate 10 has a cylindrical flange 11, Fig. 4, the outer surface of which forms a drum for a band brake, the inner surface being adapted to be clutched by expanding clutch members 23 operated by links 21, hinged to the lever-operated sliding member 19. Sliding pins 26 engage the clutch members 23 in order that the links may not take the drive. During normal forward running, the clutch 17, 18 is in gear, the current generated owing to the difference in speed of the field 4 and armature 8 being used to assist the drive by means of the electromotor 13. When the relative speed of the generator field and armature has become small, the generator is short-circuited, so that the speeds become nearly equal. The clutch 11, 23 is now put into gear, so as to give a direct mechanical drive. In order to reverse the direction of motion of the power shaft, the two clutches are put out of gear, the ganerator armature 8 is held stationary by the band brake 28, and the electrical connexions of the motor are reversed, the drive in this direction being wholly electrical. The invention is specially applicable to motor road vehicles.

Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1906-06-18
Granted: 1907-06-18
Abstract: 13,940. Lock, W. H., and North, T. M. June 18. Cylinder machines with plane printing - surfaces ; rotary machines; delivery apparatus.-A series of rotary or flat-bed printing- machines are arranged, as in Specification No. 6849, A.D. 1905, end to end for use either for multi-colour, perfecting, or on separate independent jobs. The sheetreversing mechanism in this case, for use in perfecting jobs, or printed-side-down delivery, turns the sheet while-keeping the front edge to the front throughout. When the machine is used separately for printed side-up delivery, or for multi-colour impressions in conjunction with other machines, the sheets 3, delivered from a cylinder 1 on to tapes 53, are passed directly on to the feedboard 69, or to the tapes 64 if the sheets are to receive further impressions. In these cases, the feed-board 69 is in its lower position, and the spindle 63 of the tape-pulleys 62 is journaled in the brackets 66. When the second machine is required to perfect the sheet, the latter is lifted, as it is fed by the tapes 53, by arms attached to a vertically-sliding bracket 4, actuated by cams 6 and a rod 9 when desired. The arms, which are provided with sheet stops 70, lift the sheets into engagement with cam-actuated grippers 20 on a bar 17 attached to transverse chains passing round pulleys 15. These grippers, moved back and forth by gearing shown, carry the sheets in a transverse direction above the tapes 44. inverting them at the same time. The tapes 44 are intermittently moved from a reciprocating bevel-wheel 50 with a freewheel motion and deliver the inverted sheets front side foremost to the tapes 64.

Abstract: 14,221. Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Co., and Nicholson, A. June 21. Chimneys.-In furnaces for rivetheating, forging, case-hardening, annealing and tempering, and in crucible, melting and like furnaces employing liquid or gaseous fuel, annular heating - chambers c are formed around the chimneys, and air and gas are passed through them and separately conveyed to burners a arranged external to the furnace. When liquid fuel is employed, it is supplied to the burner direct and the air is heated alone. In the arrangement shown in the Figure, air is passed into the left-hand annular chamber by a pipe d, and passes to the burners through a pipe d<2>, while the gas, after being heated in the right-hand annular chamber, passes to the burners by the pipe e<2>. To heat the air and gas separately when a furnace is provided with only one chamber, the annular chamber may be divided into two compartments by a horizontal annular diaphragm or by two longitudinal diaphragms, preferably in the same vertical plane.

Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 27,747. Czigler, P., and Eotv÷s, J. Dec. 5. Kilns for burning bricks and porcelain, lime, &c. Flues are provided in the floor and enclosing walls for the passage of the gases from the interior of the kiln to the outlet. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 a transverse section of the kiln. Outwardly - opening passages 2 in the floor are covered with inclined grates 4 ; between these passages are formed flues 9, which open into a central channel 8 and are continued through the side walls to the roof 10. The roof is provided with a rising and falling top 14 and is divided by longitudinal partitions 11, between which are constructed the passages 12 opening into the interior of the kiln. When the kiln is fired, the top 14 is opened, the flues 9 are closed by dampers 15, and the passages 12 are opened until the fire is fully started, when the passages 12 are closed and the flues 9 opened, so that the products pass upwards along the inside walls to the top, then down to the channel 8 and through the flues in the floor and side walls into the space 13 and outlet. After completing the operations, the various wall openings are closed so that drying can take place rapidly. To increase the draught, air flues may be provided at the sides of the openings 5, 7. In a kiln for burning porcelain and like materials where the hot gases and cold air are prevented from impinging directly on the goods, the floor is raised to the level of the arches of the openings 5, and the grate is arched and provided with openings 18, Figs. 5 and 6, communicating with channels 19 in the floor, the goods being placed on the parts of the floor between the channels:

Abstract: 4471. Reckenzaun, F. Feb. 23. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Window opening and closing apparatus. - Relates to means for operating and securing an air-tight closure of skylights. A skylight 8 carries a roller 7 working in a slot in a plate 5 carried by a vertically sliding rod 1 which is connected by a link 3 to an operating - handle 4. After the skylight reaches the closed position, further upward motion of the rod 7 causes it to rotate a cam 10 on a shaft 11, which carries fingers adapted to engage with plates on the skylight, and thus applies a closing pressure. When the rod is lowered, a spring 7 rotates the shaft in the opposite direction and so disengages the fingers.
