Title: Improved Method of Connecting Tyres to the Wheel-bodies of Railway Wheels.
Inventor: HOENIGSVALD JOSEF
Filed: 1898-03-31
Granted: 1899-02-25
Abstract: 7757. H÷nigsvald, J. March 31. Forging. -Relates to means for securing the tyres to the bodies of railway-vehicle wheels. The tyre A is formed of a larger diameter than the finished wheel, and has internal flanges a, b. The tyre is heated, allowing the cold body B to be placed in it, the two being then placed under a hammer or press and forced or set up in a matrix C. This matrix is about one per cent. larger than the finished wheel, to allow for shrinkage. After partially cooling, the wheel may be removed, the flanges a, b surrounding the body and securing the tyre in position. The connection may be strengthened by hammering or pressing the corners a<1>, b<1> into annular grooves on the body. The skin of oxide on the tread is preferably allowed to remain to resist wear.

Patent GB-189821371-A (GB)
Title: Improved Apparatus for Taking and Reproducing Animated Scenes and Sounds.
Inventor: BARON AUGUSTE
Filed: 1898-10-11
Granted: 1899-10-11
Abstract: 21,371. Baron, A. April 4, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c, Act, A.D. 1883]. Kinematographic apparatus. - Relates to an apparatus which may be used for taking successive photographs, or for projecting them on the screen, a synchronously-driven phonograph being electrically connected to the kinematograph. The ribbon from the store spool in the box N passes over the guide-pulley W, past the lens, round the sprocket driving-wheel D, and round another guidepulley L', and finally is wound on to the store spool in the box N'. The sprocket-wheel D is driven by a groove cam A, which is driven from the axis of the flywheel M by bevel gear. The store spool is driven from the axis of M by toothed gearing MA &c., and a friction clutch. The shutter H, G is a sliding plate, reciprocated by the crank E (on the axis of A) and a connecting-rod F. When the apparatus is used for optical projection, two lenses are used, one for projection and the other to illuminate the screen in the interval between two exposures. The phonograph, Fig. 7, is driven by an electromotor, the axis 15 of which carries a bevel-wheel 16 gearing with two other bevel-wheels 17, 18. The wheel 17 rotates the cylinder 19 of the phonograph, and the wheel 18 is fixed on the leading screw 20, which traverses the diaphragm 21. The sliding rod 24 to which the diaphragm 21 is connected gears with tho leading screw 20 by means of a notch 23 which can be readily disengaged. The electromotor, Figs. 4 and 5, for driving the phonograph has three electromagnets 9<1>, 9<2>, 9<3>, the excitement of which is controlled by a commutator, Fig. 5, on the axis of the cam A, Fig. 1. The effect of this control is that an armature bar 11 on the wheel 10 is attracted by a pole piece 12 of a given electromagnet, but cannot pass it till the magnet is cut out by the commutator. The movement of the photograph is thus synchronized with that of the phonograph. The motor is connected to the phonograph by a spring coupling.

Abstract: 13,747. Musso, G. July 5. Telegraphs.-Relates to page-printing telegraphs in which a number of magnets selected by varying strengths of current are caused to operate the levers of a type-writer. Fig. 1 shows a diagram illustrating five keys 1-5 and five magnets 56-60. The keys are arranged with a graduated series of resistances 13-17, connected to a common point 19. The point 19 is also connected to earth when receiving. The point 19 is connected to line 18 through a double rocking switch 21, 25 and magnet 29. The magnet 29 has a polarized armature 45, arranged to close the circuit of magnet 38 on the receipt of a current from the line. The magnet 38 then attracts its armature 37, and throws over the switch levers 22, 26, so that the current from the battery 8 and the variable line current are superposed and act on the magnet 66 to produce a variable throw of the lever 52 by which the required printing-magnet 56-60 is placed in a closed local circuit. A bell 67 is operated by the last contact. A resistance is inserted between the earth connections of keys 12 and line 31 to prevent earthing the variable line currents.

Abstract: 17,618. Knowles, J. T., [Stierlin, E. A.]. Sept. 3. Electric railways and tramways.-Relates to current distributing and collecting devices for use in connection with electric railways, tramways, &c. Collectors; conductors ; switches; insulation. -A roller b or brush s is carried by one or two frames which consist of bars a', b<1>, c<1>, d' hinged together and to a standard l<1>. Stops m<1>, n' limit the motion of the frames, and springs 0<1> keep the roller &c. bearing on the conductor x. This appliance may be used in place of an ordinary trolley or other collector to take current from an overhead or other conductor ; or it may be supported on posts at intervals to supply current to a long collector R carried by the vehicle, as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, the rocking motion of the appliance may be utilized to operate a switch for closing the supply circuit while the vehicle is passing, and the posts may be provided with means for breaking the circuits if they are knocked down. It may be supported, as shown in Fig. 10, by one or two pairs of insulators g. These insulators, Fig. 9, may be made of two metal caps or hoods with a bell or layer of insulating- material between them, cloth or flannel D, E impregnated with white lead and oil being interposed. The long collector may consist of a rail or other section R supported by the springs and guide-pins A, D on suitable insulators, so as to have vertical and lateral play. The ends of the collector bar R on each vehicle are made as shown in elevation and plan in Figs. 6<a> and 6<b>, so that they will couple automatically, the end D being turned downwardly and outwardly and provided with a tongue E and springs C. By using two or more of the collectors and supply appliances, multiphase currents may be utilized with or without transformers to drive the motors on the vehicles.

Abstract: 26,421. Boyd, T. A., and Boyd, J. & T. Dec. 27. Spindle apparatus; rollers and roller heads.- Means are provided whereby, for doffing purposes &c., a group or section of spindles and the corresponding length of rollers may be stopped and started simultaneously without stopping the frame. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, each spindle is driven by a separate band 4, and the rail 5 carrying a group of spindles is carried by swinging levers 6 pivoted at the thread board. The driving-bands 4 are held tight for driving by cams 9 on a weighted shaft 7, which may be turned for the purpose of slackening the band by the levers 11, 12, the lever 13 of a spindle brake being simultaneously brought into contact with a fixed stop 14, so as to cause the brake to engage with the spindle wharl. On the roller shaft is mounted a disc carrying a ratchet pawl 17, which engages with a ratchetwheel 15<1> carried by a loose wheel 15 driven from the cylinder 3. Normally the pawl is in engagement with its ratchet whereby the rollers are driven; but, when the lever 12 is moved so as to allow the rail 5 to swing inwards, it engages with a stud 17<2> on the pawl, and disconnects the roller shaft from the driving-wheel 15.
