No. 19015. — 1st February, 1905. — FRANCIS HENRY COOPER, of Wellington, New Zealand, Tramway Conductor. Means for controlling the trolley-poles of tramway-cars.*

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in the provision of spring-actuated winding-mechanism attached to the end of the car and to which the trolley-pole rope is connected. These means are adapted, when freed to act, to pull upon such rope and wind it upon a reel. They are, however, prevented from acting in the normal condition by a depending lever engaging with a stud. This lever depends in front of an electro-magnet which normally is quiet, but which when energised shall draw the lever towards it so as to free the spring winding-mechanism and allow it to act. The energising of the magnet depends upon the automatic completion of an electric circuit, which circuit is completed by means attached to the trolley-head when such head leaves the conductor wire.

Extract from Specification.—My invention relates to improvements in electrical ozonizers; and the objects of my invention are to provide a cheap and simple device by means of which the oxygen of the air, or a very large proportion thereof, may be conveniently converted into ozone, further objects being to devise simple means for causing the circulation of air through the apparatus and for directing the current of ozone to the desired places; and it consists essentially of an electrode, or a plurality of electrodes, each consisting of a sheet of glass or other insulating material, a number of points all connected electrically at their bases and in contact with the glass at their bent ends, a suitable sheet of gauze or a similar set of points on the other side of the glass, and means for electrically connecting one of said terminals or electrodes on each side of the glass to the leads from a suitable source of power, whereby when the circuit is completed the current will be caused to pass from the points through the glass, and the electrical discharge taking place at every point will convert the oxygen in the vicinity of such point into ozone, the various details being constructed and arranged as more particularly described.
