Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Manipulating Foundry Moulds and the like
Inventor: BONVILLAIN PHILIBERT
Filed: 1904-06-16
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 13,677. Bonvillain, P. June 16. Moulding. - In a machine for superposing the top and bottom parts of a moulding-box for a sand mould made by hand or by machine, and for pushing out the moulds, a table 31 for carrying the bottom part of the box is attached to a hydraulic ram, the stroke of which is varied by a nut on the threaded end 27. The two parts of the box are provided with holes 17 for sliding on rods 23 fixed to the uprights 22, and have projections 18, 19 so arranged that the upper box rests on the seats 24, while the lower part slides between them. To extract the mould, the table 31 moves in the moulding-boxes, the upper one of which is fixed on the seats by bolts 32, and the lower one prevented from filing by spring pincers mounted on the rods 23 or by a guide-rod connected at its lower end to a wire passing over a grooved pulley and provided with a balance weight. To limit the stroke of the ram, the table carries a vertical rod with a movable socket, which strikes a lever keyed on the shaft of a cam controlling the inlet valve, a second lever on the same shaft being provided to open to exhaust.

Title: Improvements in Contact Devices for Apparatus for Electrically Lighting and Extinguishing Gas
Inventor: TESTOR JOHAN FREDRIK
Filed: 1904-08-05
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 17,181. Testor, J. F. Aug. 5. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-A contact-device for electrically igniting and extinguishing a gas jet is actuated by pushing and withdrawing a bolt. The device comprises a bent lever c which carries a contact-arm d and is normally held by a spring so as to be in the path of the bolt a. The other end of the lever is connected to a plunger fitting closely in a cylinder h. When the bolt is pushed, the bevelled front edge depresses the lever, and the arm d eventually passes over a contact f and thereby closes a circuit which opens the gas inlet and lights the gas ; the circuit may contain an electromagnet and a platinum wire &c. On withdrawing the bolt, the arm d finally passes over a contact c and thereby closes another circuit which turns off the gas. Owing to the resistance of the air, caused by the depression of the plunger, the movement of the arm over the contact e is comparatively slow and thereby ensures the closing of the gas cock. The plate, on which the lever is pivoted, is common to both circuits.

Patent GB-190427286-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Emergency Valves for Fluid Pressure Systems.
Filed: 1904-12-14
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 27,286. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 14. Brakes.-I n order to prevent the emergency mechanism of a straight-air brake system from being rendered ineffective by the motorman's valve being left accidentally or otherwise in the quick-release position, an auxiliary valve is provided whereby the connection between the motorman's valve and the trainpipe is cut off simultaneously with the operation of the emergency mechanism. The auxiliary valve A is in connection with the motorman's valve V by pipes v, v<1>, and with the train-pipe L and reservoir R by pipes l, r, respectively, and comprises valves 1, 2 connected by a channelled spindle 5. The valve 2 is provided with a spring-pressed piston 10 having small orifices 7, and behind which is a space 8 in communication with the emergency valve E by a pipe e. The emergency valve is provided with a channelled spindle 15 and is normally closed by a spring 14. When, in an emergency, the motorman releases the handle of the motor controller, the controller mechanism acts upon the projecting end 15 of the stem of the emergency valve and moves the valve so as to open communication with the atmosphere through orifices 16. Normally, the auxiliary valve is in the position shown, the pipes l, v and r, v<1>, respectively, being in direct communication, but when the emergency valve becomes open to the atmosphere, the pressure in the space 8 is reduced, and, as the orifices 7 are too small to keep up the balance of pressure, the piston 10 moves to the right, thereby closing the valve 1 and opening the valve 2, and thus cutting off the connection between the train-pipe and the motorman's valve and opening communication from the reservoir through the spindle 5 and space 3 to the train-pipe.

Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 19,945. Nielsen, C. Oct. 3. Hose, connecting to pipe ends; couplings, disconnectible.-A hose pipe is connected to the conical end g, Fig. 1, of a pipe end a by the longitudinal pressure of a conical sleeve l and an outer screwed flanged sleeve n. The pressure of the sleeve thickens the hose and forms a bead k, which is received in a recess in the pipe end. In one modification, shown at the upper part of Fig. 3, one sleeve only is used, and it is secured by a bayonetjoint. In another form, shown at the lower part of Fig. 3, the sleeve is split and held in place by its own elasticity and the beading e. In another form, shown in Fig. 7, the sleeve is secured by passing the lugs t through the openings p<1> and behind the rising projections r. In a similar form, an interrupted screw is used instead of the projection r. The sleeve may be secured by a bifurcated pivoted arm, which passes behind projections on the pipe end, or by a sliding ring.

Title: Improvements relating to Indicators or Changeable Signs.
Inventor: BAYLOR ARMISTEAD KEITH
Filed: 1905-12-05
Granted: 1906-12-05
Abstract: 25,282. Baylor, A. K. Dec. 5. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Indicators, route, for vehicles.-Relates to route indicators or advertising-devices in which a band is wound from one roller to another, the rollers being provided with operating-mechanism which when turned in one direction operates one roller and when turned in the opposite direction operates the other roller, this being effected by oppositely disposed clutches on the driving-shaft. The mechanism comprises a vertical shaft 1 carrying a bevel-wheel 3 in gear with another bevel-wheel 4, which is attached by pins to a sprocket-wheel 7, and rides loose on the axle 5 of the lower roller 6. The sprocket-wheel 7 carries a spring-pressed pawl 10, which engages a ratchet-wheel 11 keyed to the axle 5. A chain connects the sprocket-wheel 7 with a similar arrangement on the axle of the upper roller, the pawl and ratchet-wheel in this case, however, being oppositely disposed, so that when one ratchet is being driven the other is idle. To keep the band taut, the bearings for the axles 5 may be of the kind described in Specification No. 5006, A.D. 1904. An additional friction device is attached to the upper roller, consisting of spring- pressed jaws 13 acting upon a disk 15. To secure that the clutches will disengage when running backwards, one of the pins 8 of the bevel-wheel 4 is made longer than the other so as to project through the elongated hole 9 in the lower sprocketwheel and lift the pawl out of the path of the ratchet teeth. For the upper roller, the pin 16 on the disk 15 acts in the same way. According to the Provisional Specification, the upper roller may be retarded by a spring band brake.

Abstract: 11,469. Ruzicka, F. May 16. Arc lamps.-In an arc lamp with downwardly converging electrodes a, b, one of the carbons a carries a non-conductive strip h, the end of which bears against the other carbon.

The strip may be made of plaster of paris mixed with fine filings, and is supported in place by a thin metallic strip i fixed in the carbon. To start the lamp, the end of the plaster strip is broken off and the projecting end of the strip i bent at right-angles to itself, so as to touch the other carbon. When the current is switched on, the end of the strip fuses and an arc starts between the carbons.
