Patent GB-190014370-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Stamping Hammers.
Inventor: GLOSSOP GILBERT
Filed: 1900-08-11
Granted: 1901-08-10
Abstract: 14,370. Glossop, G., and Rhodes, D. Aug. 11. Fluid - pressure hammers. - A pneumatic hammer for stamping has a piston valve b which, in its upper position, admits air to the upper end of the cylinder a and opens the lower end to exhaust, in its lower position admits air to the lower end and exhausts from the upper end, and in its mid-position closes both ports. The valve rod j engages a lever d on a rock shaft c carrying tappets e, f. The rod is also connected to a handle l, pivoted at m, and to a treadle 2. Strikers h, i on the hammer head g engage the tappets to move the valve. To operate the hammer, the handle is moved upwards against a stop 5, adjustable on a sector, thus admitting sufficient air below the piston a' to raise the head above a spring catch o, and to operate the tappet e to move the valve to its mid-position. The catch o holds the head suspended while the work is being set. The treadle is then depressed to admit air above the piston, the air acting on a plunger z to operate a lever y, w, rod v, and lever u, p to withdraw the catch. At some part of the stroke the striker i operates the tappet f to shut off the air supply, the air in the cylinder expanding during the remainder of the stroke. The force of the blow may be varied by varying the pressure required to operate the plunger z, this being effected by varying the compression in the spring f which controls the catch o, and a screw t and hand-wheel being provided for this purpose. When once set, a number of blows of the same force may be given.

Abstract: 17,650. Butterworth, F., and Bennett, G. Oct. 5. Signalling &c. between trains; signals on engines etc.; stopping engines etc.; semaphore &c. signals; signalling to cabins etc.; signalling approach of trains; contacts, mechanical and electric.-Relates to means for indicating in the signal cabin, and to the driver of an approaching train, the presence of a train in a station. A treadle e is mounted within the station on rocking arms c, and is connected by the wire &c. h to a suitably-located semaphore arm f, and also to a miniature semaphore in the signal box. The treadle is normally held in its raised position by a counterweight j &c., the signal f being normally lowered. When a train is on the treadle, the latter is depressed, and the signal f and the miniature signal are held at 'danger.' The treadle e may be arranged to be displaced laterally instead of vertically, and the miniature semaphore may be operated electrically by a circuit completed by the signal f or the treadle e. For additional security, the wire &c. h is continued and connected to a pivoted bar, which, when the treadle is depressed, is raised from a normally inoperative position into position to actuate, through any suitable means, the engine whistle &c., or to shut off steam. For signalling the approach of trains to platelayers, a small portable treadle is clipped to the rail at a suitable distance, and is connected to a gong in the vicinity of the workmen.

Title: Improvements in Electric Log Recording and like Apparatus
Inventor: KOEHLER HJALMAR VON
Filed: 1903-11-03
Granted: 1904-05-26
Abstract: 23,862. K÷hler, H. von. Nov. 3. Indicating at a distance electrically.-The recording-apparatus of an electric log or the like is provided with a signal or alarm which is operated automatically when the working of the log is interrupted or when the speed of the vessel falls below a predetermined amount. Each time the circuit of the magnet a of the recording-apparatus is completed, the armature lever b operates a small lever h, which lifts the rack f out of engagement with a wheel e driven by clockwork. A spring i then draws the rack backwards so as to re-engage the wheel when the circuit of the magnet is broken. Should, however, the log cease to work, the wheel e advances the rack f until it contacts with the stud k, thereby completing the circuit of the signal. Instead of a stud k, a mechanical device for sounding an alarm may be used. For regulating the back-stroke of the rack, a segmental stop-plate l is provided. This plate is carried by an arm m mounted loosely on the spindle of the wheel e. By a proper adjustment of the arm m, the rack may be arranged to contact with the stud k when the vessel's speed falls below a predetermined amount. A pin o is provided on the arm m for the purpose of lifting the lever h when desired.
