Title: Improvements in Ejector-condensers for Steam Engines and for Exhausting and Forcing Gases and Liquids.
Inventor: BOURDON ALEXANDRE CHARLES
Filed: 1897-04-26
Granted: 1898-04-26
Abstract: 10,365. Bourdon, A. C. April 26. Centrifugal pumps combined with ejector condensers for steam engines and for exhausting and forcing gases and liquids. By means of a pump B, in the case described centrifugal, a continuous current is maintained through the ejector A, in which the exhaust steam is partially condensed, its complete condensation being effected in the ejector E, to which cold water is supplied. Cold water is also introduced by the perforated pipe H. The surplus water and air is removed by the pipes b connected to the middle of the pump, this water in a modification being passed through a cooler and used again at E and H. As used for marine engines, the continuous current, after leaving the ejector, passes by a perforated pipe through a water tank, into which the surplus water and air flow. The cold water is introduced into the current as it leaves said tank.

Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Electric Shock Machines.
Inventor: POORE GRAYDON
Filed: 1897-10-30
Granted: 1898-01-29
Abstract: 25,205. Poore, G. Oct. 30. Coin action; electricity, administering; fraud, preventing.-The coin dropped down a shoot S enters a loop R which extends from an arm C over a pair of curved shelves T. The arm is provided with a handle for turning it, but is normally prevented from more than a certain amount of play by means of a detent P. Owing to the play the co n disengages the detent and the handle can be turned till a contact-arm C<1> turning with it reaches a stationary contact G. The coin falls out of the loop wheu clear of the shelves, but the operator receives the current so long as he holds the aforementioned handle and a similar one by turning which the core of the induction coil is shifted to modify the shocks. Coins of insufficient size fall between the shelves.

Title: Improvements in Window Sash Fasteners.
Inventor: NICHOLSON GEORGE CORNWALL
Filed: 1897-12-20
Granted: 1898-01-29
Abstract: 30,110. Nicholson, G. C. Dec. 20. Sash fastenings.-A casing A is mounted on the lower sash rail 6, and a striking-plate or box staple B on the upper sash rail 5. A tumbler F, pivoted at G in the casing, has pivoted to it a spindle C with a head D. The tumbler is normally forced into the position shown by a spring R, the projection from the casing being limited by a lug P. A lug H on the tumbler engages with a sliding plate K, normally forced upwards against a pin T by a leaf spring L. To release the sashes, the held D is drawn back to disengage the tumbler from the staple, the plate K moving outwards till a notch 0 engages a bar N on the casing, locking the tumbler in the retracted position. The window may now be opened, the staple striking the plate K, disengaging it from the bar N and allowing the tumbler to be again projected. When closing the window, the staple strikes the surface U of the tumbler, forcing it inwards till the sashes are closed, when it again locks them, the notch 0 being sufficiently far back to prevent engagement with the bar N during this snap' action.

Title: Improvements in Motion Transmitting Apparatus for Motors.
Inventor: CARON PAUL LOUIS MAURICE
Filed: 1898-07-30
Granted: 1899-07-08
Abstract: 16,671. Caron, P. L. M., and Maillard, H. L. July 30. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the transmission and adjustment of power, more especially applicable to explosion engines, particularly those applied to motor vehicles, and consists of means whereby the turning moment exerted by the motor is automatically regulated in accordance with changes in the resistance to be overcome. The motor cylinder E and an air-compressing pump E<1> are connected by differential gear by which is driven a pulley H. The pump delivers into a reservoir I whence it is used as required in the engine. It results that, when the engine power is in excess of that required to overcome the resistances, air is forced into the reservoir, so that the power exerted is automatically adjusted to the resistances to be overcome.
