Title: Improvements in Cultivators.
Inventor: ALLEN SAMUEL LEEDS
Filed: 1904-05-12
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 10,984. Allen, S. L. March 10, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Cultivators.-Relates to cultivators having the tines adjustably mounted on a frame which can be raised and lowered as required. The cultivator is carried by wheels 2 mounted on an axle 1 having arms 3 rigidly secured at each end of it. The rectangular tool frame is pivoted at 3<1> to the arms 3. The side bars 7 of the tool frame are bent over at the rear ends 8 to form a seat for the two spaced parallel bars 5, 6, to which the tine standards 25, 27 are adjustably attached by means of suitable grooves or clips and bolts. The draught-pole 12 is adjustably secured to the tool frame at the rear by a bolt 13 passed through one of a series of holes 11 in brackets 10 fixed to the rear bars 5, 6. Hooks 14 secure the pole to the front bar of the tool frame. The standard 43 of the driver's seat is secured to the draught-pole 12. The whipple-trees are attached by a connection 19 to draw bars 18 pivoted at their rear ends to yokes bolted to the rear bars 5, 6 of the tool frame and adjustably supported by hangers 20 secured to brackets adjustably fixed to the front bar of the tool frame. In this construction, a double-tree is dispensed with, and the pull of the horses can be adjusted along the width of the implement. The mechanism for lifting the tool frame is as follows :-A U-shaped bar 30, having foot-levers 31, is fixed to the main axle 1. Plates 33 are fixed to each limb of the bar 30. Levers 34 are pivoted to the plates 33, one at each side of the draught-pole 12. The levers 34 converge at the point 38 to form a hand-lever 36. Angle-plates 39 are attached to the levers 34 and carry a roller 40 which runs along the underside of the draught-pole 12, when the levers are operated. The arrangement is such that, when the attendant on the seat presses with part or the whole of his weight upon the foot-levers 31 and at the same time pulls the lever 36 upwards, the lever 36 comes practically into line with the plates 33 and the tool frame is raised. The tool frame is held in its raised position by means of a notch 47 in a bar pivoted to the seat standard 43, engaging with a bolt or cross-bar 37 of the lever 36. The depth of work is adjusted by means of a quadrant 41 pivoted on the bolt 37 and adjustably secured to the lever 36 by the bolt 38, and resting upon the draughtpole 12 so as to regulate the relative positions of the lever 36 and of the tool frame. A modification of the draught attachments is described, in which the draw-bars 18 are dispensed with, and a doubletree is employed, connected to links pivoted at their rear ends to the draught-pole, and adjustably connected at their front ends to the draught-pole, by means of a bar, the upper end of which serves to support the lever 36 and thus regulates the depth of work.

Patent GB-190426659-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carbonic Acid Gas Producing Apparatus.
Inventor: STEAD JOHN CHRISTOPHER
Filed: 1904-12-07
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 26,659. Stead, J. C. Dec. 7. Carbonic acid.-Relates to improvements in apparatus such as that described in Specification No 18,710, A.D. 1904, for producing carbonicacid gas, and consists in utilizing the beat of the carbonic-acid gas obtained by boiling the bicarbonated lye to warm up the next charge of bicarbonated lye. To the apparatus described in the above-mentioned Specification there is added a " lye heater " B, which is connected to the first member of the series of bicarbonating vessels A by means of a pipe D, and to the boiling-off vessel E by means of a siphon S. The vessel B is provided with a false bottom a and a gauge glass G ; a gas main h leads out to a catch-all and condenser as desired, and has a threeway cock h<1> or a snift r with a cock r' and non- return valve r<2>. The vessel E has a vent pipe n with valve or cock n<1>, or, if desired, is connected to the vessel B as indicated. The valves h<1>, n<1> being opened to the atmosphere, the valve d is opened and lye flows into the heater B, and from there to the boiler E. When the boiler is full and the heater nearly full, the valve n' is closed and the carbonic acid is boiled off from the vessel E and passes by the siphon S up through the cold lye in the vessel B. The cock h<1> is left open to the atmosphere till all air is displaced from this vessel, and it is then turned to connect with the gas holder. When sufficient gas has been boiled off, the cock h<1> is closed and the heating is continued until the pressure in the vessel E drives the decarbonated lye by the pipe j into the last of the bicarbonators A. If necessary, this process may be assisted by running a small amount of the highly carbonated lye from the vessel B into the boiler E by means of the pipe p, or the pressure is increased by introducing into the boiler furnace gases, or otherwise. The decrease in pressure finally resulting in the boiler causes the siphon S to work and automatically refill the boiler. The vessels E, B, A are all of practically the same capacity. This preliminary heating and high carbonation of the lye in the vessel B enables a more constant supply of gas to the holder to be maintained.

Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 5909. Watson, H. May 2, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Fastenings, railway-carriage door.-Relates to means by which railway-carriage doors are locked automatically on the starting of the train, but which allow of their being unlocked by the guard. The door bolt G, under the control of the spring N, is shot by means of the cord F, which is wound on the pulley E mounted on the shaft d running the length of the carriage, the shaft being caused to rotate by means of the pawl C engaging the ratchet-wheel D mounted thereon. Oscillatory motion is given to the pawl C by the lever B, which is pivoted at one end to a pin b<2> attached to the eccentric-strap a' of the eccentric a mounted on the carriage axle. The ratchet-wheel is provided with the wide tooth d<1>, so that, when the bolt has been shot, the end of the pawl C will ride thereon without actuating the ratchet-wheel. For unlocking the doors, a buffer rod L is provided along the bottom of the carriage, and is operated by a handwheel in the guard's van to move the lever M to the right and thereby disengage the ratchet-wheel from the pawls P, C, the spring N then withdrawing the bolt. One pulley E is provided for each compartment, the two doors being locked and unlocked from the same pulley. In the Provisional Specification, the invention is described as used with a pivoted bolt.

Title: Improvements in Flushing Cisterns for Water-closets, Urinals and like purposes.
Inventor: GRIFFITHS FRANK
Filed: 1905-04-08
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 7502. Griffiths, F. April 8. Water-waste preventers, siphon-discharge. To enable the siphon to be shortened and yet prevent waste therethrough, a recess A is made in a side of the cistern at a level slightly above that of the ordinary overflow C. If the latter should become choked, the water will escape through the recess and attract attention. The ball float D works in a chamber B <x> which discharges through a non-return valve G. The cock D<1> is thus kept fully open during filling until water flows into the chamber over the weir b. In cases in which, owing to the smallness of the flushing-nozzle, e.g. in urinals, continuous discharge is apt to occur, the valve G is made sufficiently small to break the action. The cylinder J is kept in position by a cross-bar I. A balance weight K is slotted to receive the lever L, and is retained in position by a screw N.

Title: Improvements in Folding Mechanisms
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1905-11-17
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 23,719. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Nov. 17. Folding paper.-Relates to folding-mechanism of the kind in which a tucking-blade on a rotating carrier tucks a fold of the sheet between nipping- jaws on a second rotating carrier. The nipping- jaws, instead of being, as heretofore, mounted within the circumference of the carrier, project beyond the circumference and enter a recess in the second carrier in which the tucking-blade is mounted. The tendency of the tucking-blade to pry open the nipping- jaws and to pry the paper out of the jaws is thus avoided. The web of paper W is fed by roller 6, 7 between two carriers 2, 3 each of which has a pair of nipping-jaws 8, 9 and a tucking-blade 19: The jaws are mounted on shafts 10, 11 geared together by means of toothed segments. The jaws are actuated by an arm 15 on the shaft 11, carrying a roll 16 running on a cam 17, and may be closed by the usual spring-rod device 18. The gripping-faces of the jaws may be slightly roughened. The jaws project beyond the circumference of the carrier and enter a recess 21 in the opposing carrier in which is fixed the tucking-blade 19. The blade is held in position by a set-screw 20 or other means and is made comparitively thick with bevelled sides so as to cause rolling contact with the nipping-jaws. Each of the cylinders 2, 3 is provided with a cutting-block 26 and with a recess 25 for a knife. The usual pins 27 are provided for receiving the heads of the sheets. The folded sheets are taken by the grippers 29 of cylinders 28 and are cut by slitter-mechanism 30. The sheets are delivered by the aid of strippers 32 on to running belts 31 or in any other manner.

Abstract: 2887. Lacy. H. Feb. 6. Electro - magnets. -Relates to an improvement upon the form of electromagnet described in Specification No. 17,790, A.D. 1895. Two cores or iron wire carry conducting or diamagnetic end plates between which wire of diameter decreasing outwards is wound, the winding upon each core being reversed in direction at the end of the second or at the end of a number of layers depending upon the thickness of the wire. Upon the cores a, Fig. 2, clamped at the ends by the spreaders c, are secured end plates e, which may be of high electric conductivity or of diamagnetic material, the back ends of the cores being bridged by a yoke b secured water-tight to the core by screws. Proportional dimensions for these different parts are given in the Specification. Upon the insulated cores between the end plates e is wound a layer of insulated wire, the beginning of the wire being passed through an insulated hole in the end plate adjacent to the yoke and a flexible connexion attached to it. A second layer is wound over the first in the same direction, the wire being then cut and the end passed through the end plate, where a connexion 2 is attached to it. A thinner wire with one end fixed and attached to the connexion 3 is wound in the reverse direction for two layers, and then is bent back upon itself and fastened with string close to the plate, two more layers being then wound in the opposite direction to the last, and the end of this set of four being brought out at the connexion 4. With wire of still smaller diameter, one end being fixed to the connexion 5, two layers are wound in the direction opposite to the last two, the wire bent and fastened back, and then two more layers wound in the opposite direction, the wire bent back again, and another twolayerswound in the opposite direction to the last, the end being brought out at the connexion 6. If more winding is desired, a thinner wire is taken, and the number of turns forming a complete coil is increased accordingly. For high voltages, the first coil is wound like the second coil in Fig. 5, the second like the third in Fig. 5, and so on. Corresponding layers upon the two cores which constitute the electio-magnet are wound in opposite directions. The beginnings and endings of all the grades of wire are taken out to connexions, so that any combination of the coils upon the magnet may be employed. In all cases, each layer of the winding is insulated from the next by insulation i.
