Abstract: 6961. Bennis, E. April 3. Furnace fronts; cooling.-A steam-boiler or other furnace, more particularly of the kind fed by a mechanical stoker, is provided with a hollow front, which is kept cool by the passage of a current of air, steam, or the like, through it. Fig. 1 shows the front in sectional plan, while Fig. 3 shows, in elevation, one of the plates of which the front is built up. The air &c. is made to pursue a zigzag course by vertical strengtbening-ribs C or projections on the plates, and the current is split up by cross-ribs E. The current of air may be induced by steam or other jets forcing air into compressed-air fire-bars, or air may be blown in at the inlet G by a steam or other jet. These plates may be arranged at the sides of or above the fire-doors.

Title: Means of Imparting a Motion to Boats to Imitate the Shooting or Passing Over of Rapids, or other Disturbed Water.
Inventor: JESSOP GEORGE
Filed: 1905-06-24
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 13,091. Jessop, G. June 24. Roundabouts; toy roundabouts.-An aquatic roundabout consists of a number of boats d which are driven around a water channel a by the flow of the water, which is set in motion, for instance, by means of a series of paddles or floats i, secured to a sprocket chain f. The chain is driven around a central bed cut in the channel a, by means of a sprocket g driven by suitable power. The boats are moored near a central platform b reached by means of a bridge c or a tunnel, and the outward motion of the boats is limited by hinged rods d<1>, which are connected to eyelets which slide around. a stationary ring e, or which are directly hinged to the ring, which in this case is made movable. The hinged rods are so-arranged that they cannot swing forward beyond the position shown by the dotted , lines k, Fig. 1. The paddles i are set at different angles, so as to cause waves which make the boats roll and pitch, and the motions-of the boats may simulate boats shooting over rapids. The motion of the boats may be stopped by reversing the flow of the water. The flow of water may be caused by other means, such as by a propeller, a powerful jet of steam, or by hydraulic pressure. The apparatus may be used as a toy driven by hand or clockwork. The rolling of the water may be effected by stationary adjustable obstructions.

Abstract: 24,100. Willis, P. R. J., [Naylor, G.]. Nov. 22. Loom jacquards. -In an open-shed double-lift jacquard of the type described in Specifications No. 8221, A.D. 1890, No. 81, A.D. 1896, No. 8617,A.D. 1897, No. 21,673, A.D. 1898, and No. 19,421, A.D. 1902, inclined griff-bars B<6>, Fig. 1, are mounted in a frame B<1>, which is raised by two suitably guided plungers A' and suitable mechanism operated by the cam-shaft. Opposite sides of the frame B<1> are adjustably c o n - nected by links D<2>, D3 to pairs of pivoted levers D', E<1>, of which the opposite ends are adjustably connected by links E<2>, E<3> to the other griff-frame - C, which is guided on the plungers A<4> and carries a stand with a series of standards Ox supporting the griff-bars C6. The griff-bars B<6>, C<6> are oppositely inclined, and are adapted to engage the oppositely bent upper ends of pairs of hooks a, a<1>, Fig. 2, the hooks of each pair being connected by cords c to single lifting- cords c<1>. The hooks are off-set at a<2>, bent upwards at a<3>, and bent downwards again to form hooks 12, by means of which lowered hooks are supported on cross-bars e. The needles g are bent to form pockets g<x>, Fig. 4, embracing pairs of hooks a, a', and are acted upon at their opposite ends alternately by cards on two cylinders. The needles are guided by frames, comprising vertical and horizontal wires. As a hook is lowered, one of a series of compressing-bars d acts upon the offset portion of the hook and causes the hook 12 to engage the bar e, at the same time causing the upper end of the hook to be pressed against one of a series of stop-bars f<1>. The bars d, e, f<1> are supported in notches in bars d<x>, 40, f respectively. The cylinders G<6>, Fig. 1, are supported in frames secured to sliderods G<2>, to which are secured pieces M with inclined cam-slots m<1> engaging studs m on the griff-frame B<1>. As the griff-frame B' rises and descends, the cylinders are moved alternately towards and away from the needles. The cylinders are turned by suitable means, and are held in position by spring- pressed T-bars g'. As a griff-frame descends, the lower inclined faces of its bars press against hooks which have not been moved by needles, and snap thereunder, so that these hooks are raised at the next upward movement of the frame. It is stated that the hooks may be connected to separate lifting- cords.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 2525. Smallbones, F. J. Feb. 1. Couplings, automatic.- Fig. 3 shows a section on the dotted line shown in Fig. 1, which is a plan view. The central buffers a are carried in bearings b, e by prolonged stems a<1>, a<2>, and are free to rotate against the action of twisted springs h. Each buffer has a slot g<1>, Fig. 6, adapted to receive the bevelled hook g of the adjacent buffer, the buffers rotating slightly on impact to allow the bevels to run up the edges of the slots and drop into the coupled position under the action of the restoring-springs as shown. For uncoupling, the buffer is rotated to the free position by the hand-lever i<1>, which is attached by a link j to the guided operating-arm d, mounted on the squared tail-rod a<2>. Draught and buffing springs d<1>, f are mounted on the stem between abutments d<2>, f<1> and the plate e. The arm d has projections k, which, when the draw-bar is under tension, engage the edges of the plate e and so prevent uncoupling from being effected while the train is in motion ; when there is no draw-bar pull, however, they can easily ride over the edges and uncoupling cap be effected.

Title: Improvements in Taxameters.
Inventor: BRUHN FRIEDRICH WILHELM GUSTAV
Filed: 1906-05-15
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 11,407. Bruhn, F. W. G. May 15. Fares &c., registering &c.-Taxameters in which the register is actuated by a clock mechanism when the speed of the vehicle falls below a certain limit, are provided with means for arresting the clock mechanism, or for interrupting its connexion with the indicator, when the vehicle is stopped by a block in the traffic &c. Fig. 1 shows one method of attaining this object. When the vehicle stops, the driver turns the handle i in the direction of the arrow I, thus causing a pin k to rock a bell-crank lever l in the direction of the arrow III against the action of a spring n. A pin o on the lever l rocks the bell-crank lever p against the action of the spring q. A tooth s on a lever r, mounted on the lever p, moves a plate c against the action of a spring e, the movement being limited by a pin g which works in a slot h of the plate c. A spring d, carried by the plate c, presses on the balance-wheel a and stops the clock mechanism, remaining in contact therewith as the spring catch t engages with a pin u and locks the lever r. At the same time, a pin v on the lever r engages with a wheel b connected with the counter. The 'stop ' indicator w, pivoted at y, is swung into position by a link z pivoted to the lever p. When the vehicle re-starts, the wheel b rocks the lever r, and the springs return the mechanism to its normal position. If the handle i is turned in the wrong direction, the spring arm m rocks without actuating the lever l.
