Inventor: MIDDLETON ROBERT
Filed: 1897-04-24
Granted: 1898-03-05
Abstract: 10,236. Middleton, R. April 24. Stress indicators for ropes. The object is to indicate when any of several ropes of a hoist &c. is slack and not taking its due share of the tension, and to tighten the same. Figs. 1 and 3 show an example of the arrangement, which may be variously modified. The ropes A are each brought down to a screw rod B, between a washer on which and the hoist frame is a spring D under tension. When a rope slackens, the spring expands and completes circuit at E for an alarm bell K The rope is then tightened by turning the nut C.

Granted: 1898-03-12
Abstract: 11,678. Giordano, G. May 11. Stoppers ; refilling, preventing.-The neck of the bottle is formed with a flat seat a for the hollow conical valve B, the movement of which on its seat is limited by the projections e. Above the valve is inserted a protecting-cap C, which is formed with ports g for the passage of the liquid, and with a cylindrical projection h adapted to prevent tampering with the valve by means of a wire &c. Above the cap is inserted a stopper D, which is formed with an outlet passage i, and is fixed in position by spring studs c engaging in recesses in the neck and stopper.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Couplings for Railway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: MARSHALL WILLIAM AMBLER
Filed: 1899-07-05
Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 13,873. Marshall, W. A. July 5. Couplings, automatic.-Fig. 1 shows a plan of the parts when coupled, and Fig. 2 a side elevation with one of the links uncoupled in a vertical position. The link c, connected by a rule-joint d to the fork a jointed to the draw-head, is raised by the lateral projection i of the lever h carried by the rotatable spring rod e. When two vehicles come together, the end a<11> of the bell crank o engages the stud n of the weighted lever g, and moves the rod e sideways until the projection i is clear of the fork a and the link c falls automatically on to the hook. The link c is prevented from doubling over inwards when raised vertically by the joint shown in Fig. 11, in which the hinged pin t drops to the bottom of the slot u and a projection v on the fork a engages a recess w in the link c, the motion of which when free is limited by lips r, s. Couplings, non-automatic.-By turning the stud n clear of the end a<11> of the bell crank o, the action of the coupling ceases to be automatic, and the projection i is released by pushing the rod e endways.

Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 126. Gardner, J. W. June 5, A.D. 1899, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Centrifugal and fluid governors.-Relates to a combined centrifugal and fluid-pressure governor applicable to engines for operating air-compressors and the like. As shown in Fig. 1, the centrifugal governor is mounted on a casing A containing the throttle valve. The throttle-valve spindle has at its upper end a box or link C<8> on which the governor spindle rests. With this link engages a lever G pivoted at g and capable of being acted on at its outer end by a knife-edge carried by a pistonrod projecting from a cylinder E. This cylinder is connected with the reservoir, the pressure in which is to be regulated, and the pressure therein is balanced by a weighted lever H. The throttle valve is thus controlled by the centrifugal apparatus and the air pressure jointly. In order to keep the box C<8> in contact with the governor spindle when the pressure apparatus is out of action, the lever is acted on by an adjustable spring at I. An adjustable stop is provided in the cylinder E for limiting the range of movement. In a modified form of the invention, a diaphragm chamber acted on by regulable springs is substituted for the cylinder E and weighted lever shown above.

Couplings, automatic and non-automatic.-The arms b carried by the pivoted spring rods g support the shaft a, which has a hook d, leaf e, and striker f, and is connected to the draw-bar c by the link i. When two vehicles are brought together with the hooks d in the position shown in Fig. 1, the strikers f engage the leaves e and cause the hooks d to automatically couple with the opposing shafts a. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the hook d has a striking head d<1> adapted, when the hook is horizontal, to slide over and automatically engage the roller a<1>, which is linked to the cross-shaft and carries an ordinary link coupling m. This form is also suitable for coupling non-automatically. The shaft a is formed with flats against which the spring plate o, Fig. 1, presses when the hook is to be held in the vertical or horizontal positions prior to automatic coupling.
