Abstract: 410. Irvine, A. J., and Mills, D. Jan. 7. Priming, preventing; steam separators.-Relates to the use of wire-gauze in roll form in priming- prevention devices and in steam separators. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the vessel A is placed with its upper edges c in contact with the top of the boiler B surrounding the steam outlet b. Apertures are made in the edges, forming the inlets through which the steam passes from the steam space of the boiler, and are graduated or increased in number or area'the farther they are removed from the outlet b, the object being to equalize the flow of steam, as set forth in Specification No. 20,937, A.D. 1905. Wire-gauze rolls C are placed in the path of the steam, as shown. Indentations E are constructed in the bottom of the vessel A to add to the heating- surface and so facilitate the re - evaporation of the separated moistures. In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the vessel is in the form of a pipe A which has, on either side of the T-piece, hoods F, preferably removable, covering the graduated openings a. The hoods contain the rolls of gauze C and have graduated openings f. In a further modification, the hoods are dispensed with and the gauze lies in a roll inside the pipe A.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Coupling Apparatus for Railway, Tramway and the like Vehicles
Inventor: WREN ALBERT
Filed: 1907-11-19
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 25,596. Wren, A. Nov. 19. Couplings, non-automatic.-In an arrangement for operating the ordinary coupling-chains of railway, tramway, and like vehicles from the side of the vehicle, the outer link B of the chain is received by a carrier G formed with stirrups J, which are supported on rollers or pins H fitted upon arms F connected to a rotary cross-shaft D having handles E. Links 0, N, connected to the carrier at Z, are supported by rollers or slides X working upon guides M fixed to the vehicle. The movement of the rollers X on the guides M may be controlled by T-pieces L, which are pivoted to the vehicle and connected by links U to a lever S pivoted at Y, and to a balance arm T, the downward movement of which is limited hy a stop. Additional balance weights P, Q, R are fitted as shown. For coupling, the handle E is first jerked sharply upwards so as to turn the T-pieces L clear of the path of the rollers X, as shown in Fig. 1. The handle is then lowered, whereby the carrier and coupling-chain are raised, at first by the rollers H and afterwards by the engagement of enlargements W on the arms F with pins or rollers V on the carrier. Towards the end of the movement, owing to the contact of the rollers X with the forward ends of the guides M, the front link B is tilted forward, and, on the handle E being released, falls over the opposing draw-hook. The rollers X, towards the end of their forward motion, engage the upper arms of the T-pieces L and turn them back to the position shown in Fig. 2, but slip under these T-pieces during their backward movement when the parts are released after coupling. When the carrier is again raised for uncoupling, the rollers X are stopped by the T-pieces, as shown in Fig. 2, so that when the handle E is released after the link B has been raised from the draw-hook, the link clears the hook and returns to the position shown in Fig. 1.

Abstract: 27,354. Yarrow & Co., and Yarrow, M. Dec. 11. Moulding pipes &c.-In machines for producing socketed pipes &c., the counterbalanced receiving- table is supported by devices which yield under the pressure of the clay after the socket has been formed, and allow the pipe to be produced continuously. The socket is produced in the usual twopart mould g, g<1>, Figs. 1 and 4, the bottom of which is closed by an annular piece n resting upon the table p. A beam u carrying the table p is supported between the standards a by means of arms t carrying pins s, which rest in slots 14 in pivoted levers r retained by counterweighted levers q. The levers q are provided with adjustable counterweights 10, and are formed with inclined surfaces 11 adapted to bear against the ends 12 of the levers r. When the machine is in operation, clay is forced into the mould g to form the socket, and after the mould has been filled, the piece n and also the table p are forced downwards, causing the pins s to rock the levers r against the action of the levers q until the table is freed. The table then descends in the ordinary. manner while the barrel of the pipe is being formed.

Title: Improved Hoisting Tackle.
Filed: 1908-03-20
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 6207. Industrie-Ges. Klingen & Co., and Klingen, M. March 20. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Pulley - blocks and lifting- tackle. -Relates to lifting-tackle of the worm and worm-wheel type, as described in Specification No. 2223, A.D. 1908, in which a disengaging-device is employed for rapid lowering. The present invention consists of means for automatically locking the disengaging-device when the load is on. The method employed is to increase slightly the distance between the load and the point of suspension of the tackle, this motion operating a lever having a projection which is made to slip over the axle of the worm-wheel. Three examples are given. In the first, Fig. 1, a toggle is used consisting of bars g, q<2> kept open by a spring r and also by a spring f. The weight of the lower pulley being taken by the rope or chain c, the toggle closes until the projection e' engages the axle a of the worm-wheel, thus preventing the lever h from lifting the worm-wheel out of engagement with the worm. In the second form shown in Fig. 2, the motion is produced by a piston and spring, the former having a projection m. In the third form shown in Fig. 3, the lever e carries a sleeve 5 at its lower end through which the chain c passes.
