Title: Improvements in Lubricating Pads for the Journals of Railway and other Axles and Shafts.
Filed: 1904-06-21
Granted: 1904-07-21
Abstract: 14,022. Mooney, E., and Armstrong Oiler Co. June 21. Absorbent fabrics; pile fabrics.-Relates to a lubricating-pad for use in journal lubricators, such as are described in Specification No. 13,639, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Bearings &c.], and is applicable for railway-vehicle and other axles or shafts. The groundwork of the pad is formed by weft threads 1 and warp threads 2, 3, one of which may be a stuffer warp thread. The feeder threads 5 for conveying the lubricant overlie the ground fabric, so as to lie at the roots of the pile threads 4, which are held by the weft and supply the lubricant to the journal. At intervals, the feeder threads pass between the threads 1 so as to form loops extending down into the lubricant reservoir ; these loops may be divided. The pile threads 4 may be discontinued in a line parallel to the axis of the journal, and at such places the feeder threads are carried below the ground fabric, so as not to impede the flow of lubricant; generally, it is sufficient to discontinue the threads in the centre line of the fabric. Distancing-studs or spacers, such as are described in the above-mentioned Specification, are preferably employed.

Patent GB-190501079-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Distribution Systems applicable more especially to Systems Employed in Train Lighting.
Filed: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 1079. Allgemeine Elektricitõts - Ges. Jan. 20, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Distributing; lighting, systems of.-Relates to systems (for example for train lighting), in which the dynamo works in parallel with other machines or accumulators. The field magnets are separately excited at starting to secure the correct excitation, and the machine is then run as a shunt machine ; circuit-controllers, which may be aluminium cells, are placed between the armature and the field to prevent current from flowing back to the armature. Reference is made to Specificition No. 26,293, A.D. 1904. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The armature A is disconnected from the circuit by a controller c<1>, and the field F is slightly excited, when the dynamo is at rest, from the battery B, through a resistance W, which may be a lamp to serve as a visual indicator. When the voltage of the dynamo rises sufficiently, the controller c<1> is operated and the field connected in shunt. A second controller c serves to short-circuit the resistance when the dynamo is running. The controllers c, c' may be operated by hand or automatically, or may be aluminium cells. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement for securing that the exciting- current shall flow in one direction only, although the direction of rotation of the dynamo may be varied, the accumulator being arranged in a " bridge with aluminium cells c ... c<4>. As before, a resistance W is provided so that the exciting-current shall be small when the machine is at rest. Instead of the controllers being arranged in the main circuit and thus having to carry the whole of the current, the controller for separating the armature from the field may be arranged to carry the exciting-winding only. Fig. 5 shows one such arrangement, the cell C carrying the main current and the cell X the exciting-current only. A resistance W is arranged as before. Fig. 6 shows such an arrangement applied to the modification with the accumulators arranged in a bridge, the cell c being replaced by cells x<1>, x<3> arranged in branch circuits.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for the Production and Exhibition of Colored Photographs.
Inventor: DRAC CHARLES JULIUS
Filed: 1905-05-04
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 9449. Drac, C. J. May 4. Magic lanterns and optical projection apparatus.- Relates to improvements on the optical arrangements described in Specification No. 1008, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Photography], for taking or projecting colour images. The aperture shutters, Fig: 3, is placed in the front focal plane of the objective a, or in a plane conjugate to the same, and the dispersing-prism A, Fig. 2, is placed between the front objective lens a and one component b of a telescopic achromatic system-of two lenses b, e having a common inner focal plane. The prism A and lens b are arranged so that the points of divergence of the parallel spectral pencils corresponding to the main rays R, R<1>, R<11> lie on the outer focal plane of the lens b. The synthesizing prism D is placed in a similar position relative to the second lens c of the system. These lenses have as regards optical correction the same effect as two prisms B, C, Fig. 1, as used in the prior invention. For dividing the compound beam into three beams of equal intensities, mirrors m reflect the beams on to components c1, c3, behind which are prisms D1, D3. Instead of mirrors, small prisms with low refractive indices may be used, the aberration being, negligible. For producing larger deflexions, the prisms are rendered achromati ; or their effect is neutralized by corresponding prisms in the synthesizing part of the system. The refractive index of the prisms D, D, may be increased for the same purpose. For viewing purposes, the convergent rays from the objective a are converted into divergent rays by a dispersive lens in front of the apparatus.

Abstract: 13,849. Boyd, J. July 5. Lubricators.-A lubricator for spindles and shafts, particularly applicable to the spindles of spinning and twisting machines, consists of a bent tube 23, Fig. 1, containing wick 24, the upper end of which passes through a slot 26 in the bearing 21 and bears against the spindle 20. The lower end of the tube is made with vertical slots and dips into the annular oil cup 25, secured to the bottom of the bearing 21 by bayonet catches 25<a>, 25<b>. The oil passing down the spindle is caught by grooves 20<a> and thrown back into the cup 25. The wick acts as a filter, delivering pure oil only to the spindle. The lubricator may be applied to inclined spindles, and a number of adjacent spindles may be fitted with one long oil cup 25. The grooves 20<a> may be replaced by rings or washers on the spindles. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the oil is returned to the trough 27 by a downwardly - projecting angular split tube 29, surrounding the spindle and sprung into the underside of the rail 22. In another modification, the tube 23 rests on the bottom of the oil cup, and acts as a stop to prevent the cup from turning and becoming released from its bayonet catches. The reservoir may be made to hinge downwards on a pivoted bracket. Fig. 15 shows the application of the invention to the bearing of a horizontal shaft. The bearing may have a hinged cover 42 giving access to the tubes 23. Annular projections on the bearing catch the oil and return it to the reservoir 37.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Wire Drawing Machines.
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 20,000. Lake, H. H., [Iroquois Machine Co.]. Oct. 3. Drawing.-Continuous wire-drawing machines in which the wire is not lubricated have means for lubricating the bearing-surfaces of the drawing- seats on the drums without the lubricant reaching the wire or dies. The drawing-seats are formed by segmental shoes arranged in a cage to prevent excessive pressure of the shoes against the drum, and are removably retained in place by an angularly displaceable ring provided with slots and guide-ribs for the reception of a flexible tractor for pulling the wire through a die and wrapping it around a drum. Figs. 2 and 4 show one tier of drums 13, driven from a central shaft and provided with annular oil reservoirs 25 connecting ducts 26 ending in porous wood plugs 27, Fig. 6, from which the lubricant is taken by the shoes 28, which are formed as shown in Fig. 8. Incompressible rings 29, Fig. 7, freely rotatable on the drums 13 receive the lowest turn of the wire and are formed with supports 30 for top rings 31 to act as cages for the shoes 28, which only receive the pressure due to the remaining turns of wire and are thereby prevented from being pressed too hard against the drums. The shoes and cages are preferably formed of a copper-tin alloy, such as is commonly used in drawing steel wire, in order to coat the wire by attrition and renew any portion of the original coating that may have been rubbed off. The shoes are retained in the cages by rings 33, provided with inclined slots engaging studs 35 on the drums which raise the rings, when the latter are partially rotated, to clear the tops of the shoes and allow them to be removed. Slots 36 receive the hooks of the flexible tractors, and guide-ribs 37 prevent a coil of wire from crossing the jaws and pressing them against the drawing-seats during the application of the turns of wire.

Abstract: 1260. Franklin, J. Jan. 17. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Cranks.-Relates to variable-throw cranks for bicycles, motor-cycles, and tricycles, in which the length of the crank is adjusted by back-pedalling. The cage B revolves within the bottom bracket A on ball bearings D, C and D<1>, C<1>, and carries spindles E, F. The spindles are free to rotate in the cage and are moved simultaneously by their pinions, which gear with an intermediate wheel located on a projection formed on one end of the cage B. Cranks K, K<1> are secured to the ends of the spindles E, F, and are formed with recesses P, P<1> to envelop ratchet-wheels R, R<1> fixed on the sides of the chain-wheel Hand disk T, respectively. The chain-wheel and disk are fixed concentrically to sides of the cage B, and the ratchet-wheels are similarly placed with respect to their spindles. Owing to the eccentricity of the cranks with respect to the chain-wheel, the cranks have either their greatest or least throw when they are in the same plane. The eccentricity may be varied by back-pedalling. By this movement, a pivoted trippiece V of the bottom bracket engages projections on the chain-wheel, and the pawls slip over their ratchet-wheels until in the desired position. The train of the gear-wheels may be located' on the outside of the cage B or the intermediate wheel replaced by an endless chain connecting the two spindles, and the chain-wheel H may be replaced by a belt drum, bevel wheel, &c.
