Patent GB-190715939-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Couplings for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: DIETRICH ROBERT
Filed: 1907-07-11
Granted: 1908-07-13
Abstract: 15,939. Dietrich, R. July 11. Couplings, non automatic. -In a link-and-hook coupling, the link a is connected by lazy-tongs b to nuts c engaging opposite screw-threads formed upon a spindle e, which is rotated to extend or contract the lazy-tongs, by means of a toothed wheel g engaging a similar wheel upon a rotary cross - shaft h. Lateral motion of the link a is limited by a pin d. Reserve hooks o are formed with forked shanks, which embrace the usual drawhook, are mounted loosely on the spindle e, and are formed with projections n which are made of sufficient length to engage similar projections m, formed on the nuts c, during the whole travel of these nuts. The shaft h may be retained in position by the engagement of a ratchet-wheel i thereon with a pawl l. A second cross-shaft q, mounted in bearings r on the buffer casings, carries a pair of arms t, which are formed at their outer ends with projections s, and on the opposite side of the shaft, with segments x. These segments engage, in certain positions of their rotation, with tappets u, which are mounted loosely on the sbaft q and connected to arms v. For coupling, the shaft h is rotated so as to contract the lazy-tongs b until the nuts c come against the toothed wheels g, wbereupon by further rotation of the shaft h, the link a is raised, being retained in position by the pawl l. The shaft q is then operated to bring the tappets u into engagement with the projections m, in order to retain the link a in its raised position, so as to allow the pawl l to be released and the shaft h to be rotated to extend the link a to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The shaft q is then moved so as to release the projection m, whereupon the link a falls into engagement with the opposing hook. The coupling is then tightened by again contracting the lazy-tongs b, and is prevented from being again extended by turning the shaft q until the projections s on the arms tare brought between the nuts c and the safety hook o. The spare link a<1> of the opposing vehicle is then raised to engage the safety hook o, by turning the shaft h. As shown on the left of Fig. 2, the central bearings of the shaft and of the screwed spindle e are flexibly mounted by means of springs w so that they can move in a direction perpendicular to the carriage wall ; to permit such flexibility, the shaft q may be provided with universal joints.

Title: Improvements in Closing Butter Churns, Railway Milk Churns, & other Vessels
Inventor: HOPKINS WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-07-15
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 16,209. Hopkins, W. July 15. Stoppers.-The lid b of a butter churn or other vessel is secured by locking-cams c pivotally mounted upon brackets d secured to a ring e. The ring freely encircles the churn, and the lower portions f of the brackets d carry rollers g adapted, when the ring is placed over the churn, to engage the underside of short pieces h of angle-iron bolted to the body of the churn. Slight rotation of the ring, or of one or more of the cams, by means of suitable knobs or handles causes the lid to be firmly pressed down. For railway or other churns in which the cover fits inside the body, the locking-cam c, Fig. 4, is pivoted to the head k and the rollers g are placed on the cover l. The ring e is notched to allow it to pass over the cams and bear on the rollers. By turning the ring first in one direction and then in the other, the lid is locked in position. The invention is applicable also to vessels of rectangular shape, and, in the case of large covers, the locking and unlocking may be facilitated by the use of a lever.

Filed: 1907-08-12
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 18,261. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 12. Field magnets. - Laminated field structures, particularly those of low-power machines, are formed by threading the laminations on rods, compressing them, and then forcing on each end of each rod a collar which fits tightly enough to keep the laminations compressed. Fig. 1 shows a machine in which the stator is constructed by threading the end plate 5, the laminations 3, and the end plate 6 on to a number of rods 4 on which tightly-fitting collars 7 have been forced, and then compressing the whole, and forcing on the collars 8 to keep the laminations compressed. The rods 4 may also carry the bearing-heads 9, 10 as shown, but the grip of the collars 7, 8 is sufficient to clamp the laminµ without the nuts 11. The collars 7 may be shrunk on to the rods 4 instead of being forced on, or may be replaced by shoulders formed on the rods themselves.

Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 19,022. Andersson, J. H. Aug. 23. Lubricating.-Used lubricating-oil is collected and is purified by lifting it in thin films to eliminate solid matter, by heating, and by filtering. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, partly in section, of the whole apparatus, and Fig. 5 a section through part of the apparatus. The apparatus is placed above the machine to be lubricated, and carries an oscillating shaft 2 which operates the pump 4 to force the used oil into the vessel 7, whence it is lifted in a thin film on the travelling band 10. The oil is wiped off at the top and flows through the pipe 11 and funnel 12 into the chamber 14, which is heated by a steam jacket or by other suitable means. The heated and partly volatilized oil passes up the pipe 16 into the open-ended pipe 16<1>, whence it escapes into the compartment a. The pipe 19 leads the overflow to the filter 24, and the pipe 20 leads the filtered oil from the compartment b to the filter in the compartment c. The filters consist of metal cylinders 21 containing sieve-bottomed cylinders 22 filled with filtering- material. After the second filtration, the oil flows through the pipe 25 to a tank 26, whence it is picked up by a rotating wheel 27 and is wiped off and conveyed by the pipe 30 back to the machine to be lubricated.

Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 1168. Schmatolla, E. Jan. 17. Regenerative furnaces &c.-In a furnace or kiln for burning magnesia bricks and for other purposes in which high temperatures are necessary, the gasproducer, the heating-chamber, and the regenerators are arranged in a compact block to prevent excessive loss of heat by radiation. In the arrangement shown, the gas-producer c is situated beneath the heating-chamber a, and the two are connected by central flues i and side flues e. The regenerators bare arranged vertically at the sides of the producer and heating-chamber. When the furnace is first started, the dampers f are closed, air is supplied through flues s, and the products of combustion pass into the heating-chamber through the flues i and out through both regenerators. After a time, the flues i are closed, gas is supplied through one of the flues e, and the reversing-valves are manipulated so that air is supplied, and the products of combustion pass out, through the proper regenerators. The materials are fed into the furnace through a shaft a<1> which is kept free to prevent the products of combustion from passing over instead of through the charge. The reversing- valve consists of a box k, Fig. 4, which can be arranged to connect either of the flues b4 with the chimney flue b<5>. In large furnaces, the flues b<4>, b<5> may be duplicated so that two boxes k can be used.
