Title: Improvements in or relating to Points and Crossings for Mine Railways
Inventor: WHITEHEAD JOSEPH
Filed: 1904-11-14
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 24,682. Whitehead, J. Nov. 23, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Permanentway; points and switches; crossings.- Consists of a construction and mine railway adapted to facilitate the putting-in of branches, and of points and crossings therefor, designed to render the passage of the vehicles more easy. The crossing-plate 2 and the point plates 3, 4 are each formed with integral rail portions 6,13,14, 22, at the ends of which the plates are slotted for a short distance to receive the rail ends, and shaped to conform to the rails. The plates slope up gently from their edges to their centres, which are of such a height as to cause the wheels at these points to run on their flanges with their treads clear of the rails, as shown in Fig. 2. By this construction, the vehicle is less jolted and the tendency of its wheels to run down the slope at 18 helps to direct it on to the branch line. In laying the track, the plates 2, 3 are laid at the same time as the main track, and the branch can then be put in at any time by laying the plate 4 against the rail 1 and fitting the rails E, F, 20 into their respective places.

Patent GB-190504896-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Regulating or Reducing the Pressure of Fluids.
Inventor: KAEFERLE FRITZ
Filed: 1905-03-08
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 4896. Kaeferle, F. March 9, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Reducing-valves. -Relates to pressure-regulating valves of the type in which a doublebeat valve is controlled by a float or weight floating in mercury. The branch H is connected to the highpressure chamber. The fluid enters the valve-chamber by way y of the double-beat valve D and passes away through the outlet branch N. A float P connected to the valve by link work D', D<2>, D<3> rests on mercury in a chamber G connected to the receptacle U by a tube S. R is a check valve, preferably of iron, which floats in the mercury. When the pressure in the valvechamber is below the normal, the mercury rises in the chamber G and opens the valve D. When the pressure exceeds the normal, the mercury is depressed, and the valve D is closed. Owing to its buoyancy, the valve R is normally open, but if the mercury in G drops to a certain extent the valve R closes, the valve D being then closed by the weight of the float. When the excess pressure disappears, the head of mercury in the vessel U reopens the valve R so that the mercury can flow back to the chamber G and again actuate the float.

Patent GB-190512914-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Telegraphic Receiving-apparatus
Inventor: FIELD STEPHEN DUDLEY
Filed: 1905-06-22
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 12,914. Field, S. D. June 22. Wireless telegraphy. - Relates to receiving- apparatus for small electric impulses (applicable also to wireless telegraphy), in which the received impulses vary the normal inoperative relation of two parts, which relation is then restored by causing one of the two parts to follow up the other. The received impulses pass through the coil C supported between the magnet poles N, S and connected by threads k<1>, k<2> to an arm k on the shaft K, which is reciprocated vertically by means of a soft-iron disk j and a magnet Q, included in a circuit containing a rapid make-and-break 8. The disk is surrounded by a polarized ring j<1> which tends to maintain the disk in the ring. An arm L, carried by the shaft K, normally hovers over and strikes the ends of two circuit-closers m, n, bring- ing them in contact with the anvil x and out of contact with terminals y, z. When the coil C is deflected in one direction, the arm L is moved over the closer m and depresses it, closing a circuit from the battery 20, anvil x, closer m, wire 21, polarized relay 15, magnet 12, clofer n, and back to the battery. The energizing of relay 15 opens the circuit of the recorder 19 at the contact 18 and records a signal. The energizing of magnet 12 also causes current to flow from a battery 3, contact 17, relay-armature, contact 31, wire 28, contact 6 (controlled by make-and-break 9), brush z<3>, ring z', coil z, ring z<2>, brush z<4>, wire 23, and back to the battery 3. The coil Z is thereupon oscillated and moves a shaft U, carrying a table O which supports the circuit-closers m, n, &c. The motion of the table O is damped by a regulating- valve t<1> and piston s. The circuit-closers therefore follow the arm L until this latter strikes both closers m, n at once, whereupon the battery 20 ceases to influence the recorder. The normal relation of the arm L and the closers m, n having been resumed, the arm is ready to operate either closer m, n depending on whether the coil C moves the arm L to the right or to the left. If the current in the coil C remains constant, both closers m, n continue to be operated and the recorder prolongs the signal into a "dot " or " dash." If the current in the coil C continues to rise, the arm L and table O move as before, and the record is prolonged. If the current in the coil C falls, the arm L moves over the closer n, and consequently the relay armature falls against the contact, no record being made, and places the battery 2 in circuit with the coil Z, which moves the table O in the reverse direction. The armature 14 is-controlled by the two magnets 12, 13, the latter of which is in circuit with a rotary make-and-break 10, serving to stop the follow-up movements. of the table O. The cam 8 closes its circuit just before the cam 9 does, while the cam 10 does not act until the other cams have opened their circuits.

Title: Improvements in Means for Operating or Controlling Change-speed Gears for Cycles and Automobiles, and for other analogous uses
Inventor: PIHLFELDT OLAF
Filed: 1905-10-13
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 20,734. Pihlfeldt, O. Oct. 13. Motor road vehicles.- For operating or controlling the change-speed gears, valves, and the ignition of motor and other cycles and automobiles, and for similar purposes, a Bowden-wire, cable, or equivalent transmission system embodying a spring is so connected, and arranged in relation, to a lever and an attachment upon the top tube, handle - bars, or other frame member that the spring first opposes and then assists the motion of the lever and finally co-operates with one or other of a number of stops to keep the lever stationary. As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, in connexion with a hub two-speed gear of the type in which the sliding controlling-clutch or equivalent element is moved by the engagement of a worm or rack at the end of a striking-rod a with a nut upon a threaded extension of the element, Bowden mechanism c, c<1>, connected to an operating-lever e upon the handlebar, passes down along the bottom tube to a tubular spring casing b, where it is attached to a rod a<2>, which is coupled to the striking-rod by a detachable telescopic connexion a<1>. The spring casing is carried by a bracket b<1> clipped to the frame, and by a pulley b<3> forming a guide for the cable c, and a lug c<2> forming a stop for the outer member c<1> of the mechanism. The ends of this member may be fastened to their abutments by fitting them with flanged terminals c', Fig. 7, over which engage flanged nuts c<5>, externally-threaded blocks c<6> either serving as, or being connected to, the stops. The lever e, mounted at d' upon a plate d, pivotally carries an L-shaped link f through the vertical arm of which passes a non-rotatable screw, receiving a nipple h upon the end of the cable and adjusted by means of a nut g<2>. If desired, however, the nipple may be connected directly to the link. An extension d<4> of the plate, out of line with the pivot d', carries a pair of guide pins or rollers d<5>. Two stops d' corresponding to the speed positions limit the motion of the lever e, and, in changing the gear, the spring b<2> in the transmission mechanism opposes the motion until the lever is brought over its centre, when the spring assists the movement and draws the lever home against the stop towards which it is being shifted. For a three-speed gear, the lever is provided with a spring - controlled thumb-piece or trigger, the nose of which for the normal speed engages the lower-gear stop and retains the lever in an intermediate position. By operation of the thumb-piece, the nose can be disengaged from the stop and the lever moved to the low-speed position, when the thumb-piece extends idly over the stop. For a multiple-speed gear, the edge of the plate d may be provided with a number of intermediate notches adapted to be engaged by the nose of the trigger.
