A METHOD OF FACILITATING THE UNCOUPLING OF COMMUNICATING PIPES ON RAILWAY TRAINS
Year: 1884

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, JOHN IMRAY, of No 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex, Consulting Engineer and Patent Agent, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for "A METHOD OF FACILITATING THE UNCOUPLING
OF COMMUNICATING PIPES ON RAILWAY TRAINS," and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The pipes employed on railway trains for fluid communication, as, for example,
for working brakes by pressure or vacuum, are connected from carriage to carriage
by flexible or jointed lengths united by couplings made in parts that are put
together by hand when the train is made up, and are separated by hand when the
carriages are taken apart, the pipes which they couple being usually provided with
stop cocks that can be closed when the pipes are uncoupled. When these stopcocks
are closed for the purpose of uncoupling, there still remains in the flexible or
jointed lengths extending between the carriages, fluid at a pressure above that of
the atmosphere or under that of the atmosphere as the case may be, and this
renders the uncoupling somewhat troublesome and difficult. My invention relates
to means of avoiding this difficulty by providing in such cases communication
between the connecting pipes and the outer air, so that equilibrium of pressure is
established before the couplings are separated. According to one method, I drill
through the shell and plug of each stop-cock a small hole in such a position that,
when the stopcock plug is turned so as to close the communication between the
carriage pipe and the coupling pipe, this hole forms a communication between the
coupling pipe and the outer air. Or, otherwise, I provide in either or both parts of
the coupling a small hole covered by a spring valve, which valve is opened by the
pressure of the hand when it is applied to uncouple.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
In the communications for fluid from carriage to carriage of a railway train,
providing passages for establishing equilibrium of pressure within and without, as
and for the purpose herein set forth.

DE COIFICATION.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane in the
County of Middlesex, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention for "PNEUMATIC HAMMER" and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to a hammer which is caused to rise and descend by
pneumatic pressure that can be regulated by means of a cock or valve, as I will
describe referring to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view, fig. 2 is
an elevation partly in section, and fig. 3 is a sectional plan on A B of fig. 2, of a
hammer according to this invention. The framing C which stands on a base D
has mounted in bearings at its top a shaft a which may be driven by bands on
pulleys or by a separate engine, the cylinder of which is indicated by dotted
lines at y. On the end of the shaft a is a crank diser having a crank pin 8 linked by
a connecting rod t to a piston b that works in a cylinder T attached to the framing.
In the same cylinder T is fitted the hammer plunger d which is prevented from
turning by a feather o fixed in the cylinder and fitting a slot m of the plunger.
The cylinder T has about its middle an opening governed by a cock or valve e that
can be adjusted by hand, and also an opening f provided with a check valve
opening outwards so as to allow escape of surplus air if e should be entirely closed
while the hammer is working.. The connecting rod t is made so that its length
can be varied. As the piston b ascends, creating a partial vacuum below it, the
atmospheric pressure causes the hammer plunger d to ascend, and then the
descent of the piston b, compressing the air under it, causes d to descend striking
the material on the anvil E with greater or less force according as the escape of the
air is more or less throttled. The stroke of the hammer may be varied by altering
the throw of the crank s and the length of t.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1, The construction of hammer wherein a piston worked up and down in a
cylinder pneumatically draws up and forces down a hammer plunger working in
the same cylinder, substantially as described.

page_text: 2, In combination with the cylinder reforred to in tho preceding claim, an
adjustablo cock or valvo for regulating the pneumatic pressure acting on the
hammer.
3, In combination with the cylinder above referred to, a self acting check valvo
opening outwards to permit escape of air when the adjustable cock or valve is
closed..

AN IMPROVED ARRANGEMENT OF SCREW PROPELLERS IN VESSELS
Year: 1884

page_text: I ALEXANDER BEUNES of Osnabrück, in the German Empire, Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of said invention for "AN IMPROVED ARRANGEMENT
OF SCREW PROPELLERS IN VESSELS," and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
In order to obtain a good control over the course of ships, or a good manoeuvring
capacity, they must be adapted to turn rapidly during the forward motion as well
as during the backward motion. In ordinary screw steamers this steering capacity -
is, however, very defective, especially during the return motion.
My present invention has for its object to increase the manoeuvring capacity of
ships and will be described with the aid of the accompanying drawings, of which
Fig. I is a side view, and Fig. II a plan of a ship embodying my invention, while
Fig. V is a vertical section on a larger scale, and Figs III and IV are elevation and
plan of a modification.
The principal feature of novelty consists in a pair of screw propellers, a, a placed
at or near the centre of the ship A and underneath the hull, and one or more
airtight pontoons B, B placed underneath the ship and communicating with the
interior of the latter, the said pontoons reaching to the centre of the vessel and
serving to hold the propeller shafts b, b.
The screw propellers, situated right and left of the central plane or axis of the
ship, are movable independently of each other, so that one of them may be turned
forward, while the other turns backward, at equal or unequal speeds.
These pontoons or supporting vessels may serve to form air chambers which can
be used for changing the position of the ship.
To the pair of screw propellers a, a placed near the middle of the ship may be
added auxiliary propellers outside the centre, and the number of pontoons may
also be varied.
Figs I and II show a pair of propellers a, a and a pair of auxiliary propellers c, c,
supported by two pontoons B, B. d, d represents the engines.
Figs III and IV show one pontoon B for supporting the shafts of two
propellers a¹, a¹. Suitable recesses or chambers may be provided above the screw
shaits for the purpose of temporarily lifting the screws, as in other screw steamers.

invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
In ships:
The combination of independent screw propellers situated right and left near the
middle of the ship, with pontoons or supporting vessels placed underneath the hull
of the ship and ending near the centre of the same, for the purpose of supporting

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I STEPHEN CHILD of N° 40 Caledonian Road Brighton in the County of
Sussex Builder do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR BEATING AND SWEEPING CARPETS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My Invention consists of a roller fixed horizontally on a stage, over and parallel
with which is suspended on centres a rocker, having cane rods or beaters fixed on
its under-edge and banging perpendicularly in front of the roller and an elastic
bed, which is placed under the roller. At one end of the rocker, near the under-
edge, is a spindle or shaft, with a fly-wheel or strop and pulley, and a lever
attached thereto, and such lever, at every revolution of the fly-wheel, comes in
contact with the rocker, thereby lifting it and the cane beaters to a horizontal
position and allowing them immediately to fall with great force on the elastic bed.
The carpet to be beaten is placed over the roller and then hangs down
immediately in front of the elastic bed. A driving belt connects the pulley with
the motive power (which may be manual, horse or steam). As the pulley revolves
and the lever lifts the rocker, the falling, strike the carpet, which is drawn back
over the roller, when sufficiently beaten. The carpet is then placed in the sweeping
part of the machine in like manner as described above.

beating carpets.
2. The revolving brush for sweeping same.
3. The dust-room, or apartment in which the carpet which is to be beaten hangs,
being enclosed up to the top of the roller, the pressure of atmospheric_air
from the aperture through which the carpet bangs, prevents the dust
escaping into the apartment where the workmen are.

do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANU-
FACTURE OF POTTY WARE, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our invention consists in the manufacture of articles in Earthenware China and
Porcelain from Plastic clay by pres-ure in plaster of Paris moulds strengthened by
metal rings (or cases). For the purpose of our invention, we use plaster moulds
which we cast in Metal rings or bands. Said rings or bands are preferably of Cast
Iron, and are provided with metal couplings which may be either cast on or
fastened to the rings or bands. Said rings or bands are faced on cach edge. Our
Moulds are made in two or more parts, and when put together, the iron rings rest
upon each other, and thus protect the Moulds. We put into the before named
moulds a sufficient quantity of clay to produce the articles required, and then place
the moulds in a steam, hydraulic, or other press where the necessary amount of
pressure is brought to bear upon the moulds to squeeze the clay into its proper
shape: Accompanying drawings show plan elevation and section of Metal rings or
cases. The same letters on each drawing refers to the same part. C is a plan
showing couplings at D D D: E is an elevation, and F is a section at A B showing
mode of coupling rings together. Said couplings are not necessarily the shape
shown, but may be made round or any other shape so as to form malo & female
ends for bringing the moulds or rings together in the same place, each time they
come into contact. We know that a similar process to the one described has been
in práctico for making small articles, such as door knobs and paint palletts, but has
never been used for the manufacture of domestic articles such as butter pads, butter
dishes, pie dishes and other similar articles. Our invention is more particularly
applicable to the manufacture of articles of Square and irregular shapes, but may
also be used for making round or circular articles: Having now particularly
described and ascertained the nature of our said invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed We declare that what we claim is;
1st The use of rings with metal couplings for the protection of our Moulds.
2nd The mode of manufacturing the said domestic articles, namely, the use of
mechanical pressure for squeezing the clay into its proper shape by means of said
banded moulds.

Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
RAILWAY BLOCK SIGNALLING INSTRUMENTS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention refers chiefly to that class of Instrument known as the Single
Needle Block; in which the commutator handle is held in position by means of a
steel or iron pin or peg, passing through a hole in the axle and resting against an
inclined plano attached to the bush or framework, and has for its object the
facilitation of the removal of the said pin or peg from one position to another and
of locking it in theso positions.
This I accomplish by means of a bent clip lever L Figures 1 and 2 attached to
and jointed underneath the handle of the commutator and hold in position by
means of a spring in the manner shown in Figure 1.
To the projection of the said lever, passing underneath the Commutator axle, is
jointed the pin or peg P Figures 1 and 2 which passes through a hole in the
Commutator axle and rests on either side or in the centre of a V shaped block A
Figures 1 and 2 of iron steel or other suitable material, a hole / Figures 1 and 2
being drilled in the apex of the V to receive the point of the pin when the handle
is in the vertical position, thus locking the handle in the vertical as well as in
either diagonal position and preventing signals being inadvertently given.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
First. The combination of a clip attached and jointed to the handle or axle of
tho commutator and a steel blocking pin or peg, which may be either round, square,
flat or any other suitable shape or material, jointed to the clip lever and passing
through the commutator axle, and resting in or against a block of any suitable
shape or material attached to the bush or framework, in the manner and for the
purpose above described.
Second. The locking of the handle in the vertical as well as the diagonal positions
by the above or any equivalent means.
