Abstract: 20,058. Baird, J. A., and Sass, E. 0. H. H. Sept. 29, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Lubricating s h a f s. The rings 8, of greater diameter than the shaft 1 dip into the oil 7 and rest on the shaft, the bearing box 2 and the Babbittmetal lining 3 being cut away at the points 9. The rings consist of two semi-annular portions 10, 11 connected by tongues 14, lying in slots 12, and secured by rivets 13 and screws 15. The inner surface of each ring is given a form other than cylindrical, preferably by the following method :-The ring is clamped at an angle to the boring-tool, and is bored so as to form two tapering semi-annular surfaces 16. It is then clamped at the same angle on the opposite side of the axis, and two similar surfaces 17 are formed, the maximum widths of which are at the points of minimum width of the surfaces 16. The ring thus formed is rotated by friction against the shaft, and at the same time receives a lateral or wabbling motion causing it to distribute the oil effectively.

Patent GB-190324735-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Governors
Inventor: LOMBARD NATHANIEL
Filed: 1903-11-13
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 24,735. Lombard, N. Nov. 13. Centrifugal and inertia governors ; transmitting- mechanism.-A relay for adjusting the gate of a turbine &c. is shown in Fig. 3, and a centrifugal governor for controlling the relay in Figs. 5 and 6. The governor acts through a rod 66, Fig. 3, upon the distributing-valve 57 of the fluid -pressure cylinder 52, the piston 51 of which moves the rack 48 and causes the lever 42 to rock upon the worm 54 and move a rod attached to its centre longitudinally. This movement of the rod puts into engagement by means of chains 38<a> one of the clutches 20, 21, thus causing one of the continuously-rotating sleeves 22, 23 to rotate the inner sleeve 13, from a pinion 15 on which the gate or other controlling-valve is worked. The pinion 15 also rotates the worm 54 through gearing 56 and causes the lever 42 to rock on the upper rack until both clutches are again put out of gear. The centrifugal governor shown in Figs. 5 and 6 comprises two weights 79 held together by springs and mounted upon balls 85 running in a race on a plate 82, which is driven by the continuouslyrotating base 72 of the casing 97 by springs 92, and is also supported by balls 80 in an annular race. The weights carry adjustable racks 100 which engage a toothed sleeve 94 threaded within to work on a screw 96 fixed to the casing 97. A turning of the sleeve causes it to move along the screw and lift or lower the rod 93, 66 communicating with the distributing-valve of the relay. When an increase of speed occurs the weights lag behind the casing owing to the spring connection, and the casing turns the screw 96 in the sleeve 94 and thus anticipates the weights in the movement of the rod 93. To prevent hunting, the movement of the rack 48, Fig. 3, is made to turn a pinion 115 by means of a cord 124 acting against a coiled spring 114, and through the racks 117 and 110 and a toothed sleeve 108 to counteract the movement of the rod 93, 66 by altering its length. A roller 119, which is at the same time moved from the centre of a continuously-rotating friction disc 121, is thereby rotated, and by turning the screw 118 in the rack 117, causes the roller to travel towards the centre as the governor weights resume their normal position. Specification No. 24,736, A.D. 1903, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Can Openers and similar Devices.
Inventor: MENDHAM CONRAD FIELD
Filed: 1904-03-31
Granted: 1905-03-31
Abstract: 7698. Mendham, C. F. March 31. Cans, opening.-A can-opener is so arranged that it can be used for opening cans of any size and shape, either by completely removing the end of the can or by cutting an aperture in the end. The cutting-blade a is pivoted between the plates d, e, which are riveted together. The blade a has two shearing-edges, which engage with the plates d, e and remove a narrow strip of metal. When cutting off the end of a cylindrical can, the tool is guided by the projection w on the plate d and by the pivoted piece h, having a sharpened edge h' which engages with the edge of the tin. For cutting an aperture in a flat-ended cylindrical can, the plate h is turned out of operation, and the pivoted piece g is turned down so that the teeth on its face grip the surface of the can and prevent slipping. When the can has a recessed end, both the plates g, h are turned back out of operation, the tendency to slip being overcome by teeth on the bottom edges e<1>, d' of the plates e, d. The sharpened edge m<1> on the bent portion m of the plate d tends to prevent slipping when cutting round the edge of a square or oval tin. The outer face r of the cutter is curved to facilitate cutting circular apertures. The stop n limits the motion of the blade a.

Title: Improvements in Systems of Electric Control and Apparatus therefor.
Filed: 1905-06-29
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 13,380. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 29. Switches.-In controlling electric motors that operate, as in certain electric railway systems, either with low-tension direct or with hightension alternating current, a rheostat is used in the first case and a variable-ratio transformer in the second, together with a commutating- switch adapted to connect one or the other, but never both, to the controller and motors. In the single-car equipment shown, the connecting- wires from the resistance sections r to r<3> and from the taps b to b<4> of the auto-transformer B are brought to a series of fixed contacts 1 to 23 belonging to the commutating-switch G. On the switch G being thrown to the right and closing the switch D<1>, the movable contacts g<2>, g4 &c. make connexions from the direct-current collecting-device through the main switch D<1> which is controlled by the uppermost contacts 22, 23, the motors, reversing-switch RS, and controller K. The circuit in the first running position of the controller is from the trolly T through the switch D<1>, contacts k, k<1>, k<5>, 2, g<12>, 3, resistance R, contacts 15, g<4>, 14, k<3> k<6>, resistance H, blow-out coil O, wire n<4>, motor armatures, field coils C, wire n contacts a<3>, a<4>, a<2> of the reversiug-switch RS, field coils F, contacts 18, g<2>, 17, wire n<3> field coils E, wire n, and contacts a, a<5>, a' of the reversing-switch to ground. Movement of the controller then cuts out the resistance r to r<3> step by step in the ordinary way. On the commutating-switch being thrown to the left opening the switch D', and closing the main switch A' in line with the alternating-current supply, the motors are connected across the auto-transformer B, and the controller, on being moved as before, increases the tapped-off voltage step by step. The resistance H and blow-out coils O are adapted to be thrown in so as to maintain circuit through the.motors and prevents short-circuiting of the transformer between successive positions of the controller. Four motors M are shown, permanently connected in series, having exciting field windings E, F, which are in series during direct-current running, and are put in parallel when the switch G is thrown for alternating-current running by means of contacts 17, 18, in the branch wire n‹. Compensating field windings C are also provided.
