Title: An Improved Machine for Cleaning Forks, Spoons and the like.
Inventor: SANDERS JOHANNES LODEWIKUS
Filed: 1908-06-04
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 12,145. Sanders, J. L. June 7, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Forks and spoons, cleaning.-Relates to machines in which brushes are arranged on two spindles placed one above the other. To enable the articles to be washed and dried in two consecutive operations, the brushes h on one spindle are axially adjustable so that only one of the brushes h can engage one of the brushes i on the lower spindle. The brushes h, which are joined together by a ring k, are free to move along the upper spindle and rotate therewith when pins m on the spindle engage slots n on the brushes. Instead of the arrangement of pins m and slots n, the spindle may be square in cross section. The forks &c. are cleaned by soap and water &c. between one pair of upper aud lower spindles. The upper brushes are then slid to the right by means of the rod q and bridge o, and the forks are dried and polished between the other pair of upper and lower brushes.

Title: Improvements in Governing and Valve Gear for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BATES WALTER JAMES
Filed: 1908-11-23
Granted: 1909-11-23
Abstract: 25,215. Bates, W. J. Nov. 23. Gas and like engines.-Co-axial gas and cylinder admission valves c, e are operated by a cam-actuated lever k which turns about a variable fulcrum determined by the governor. The pivot l of this lever is free to move in slots l<1> until a serrated disk o mounted upon it comes against the lower end of a finger p adjusted by the governor. As the speed of the engine increases, the finger p is adjusted so as to allow the pivot l to rise further in the slots, and a smaller lift is thus given to the valves. In engines using coal gas, the stem of the admission valve projects, as shown, beyond the stem of the gas valve, so that the admission valve which controls the air-inlet passages is opened slightly earlier than the gas valve. The valve e is closed by a light spring j, and when the load is thrown off the engine, the valve e is moved by the valve-gear only through the distance by which its stem projects ; but it may be opened further by the suction of the engine. In an engine working in conjunction with a suction gas-producer, the gas-valve stem projects beyond the stem of the admission valve, so that the gas valve is opened earlier than the admission valve.

Title: An Improved Construction of Studder or Chuck for Screwing Screwed Studs into Holes.
Inventor: WHARTON HARRY
IPC: B25B23/10
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 13,979. Wharton, H. June 15. Attachments for inserting bolts and screws; sockets.- A studder or chuck for screwing studs into place, of the type in which the releasing is effected by a reverse rotation of the driving- spindle, has a friction drive to render it inoperative when the stud is screwed home or jammed, a compensating feed to arrange for the variation of the feed of the driving-spindle relative to the pitch of the threads on the stud, and an automatic stud release to free the studding-nut vertically before its removal from the stud. The shell a<2> contains two fibre disks g, d fixed to it by circular pieces g', between which are mounted the metal friction-plate e, and clamped in contact with each other by a screw-cap c. The sleeve e<2> on the friction-plate is connected by a key h to the driving-spindle f, relative longitudinal motion between them being limited by a shoulder f <3> and collar f<4> on the spindle, the collar normally being pressed against the plate e by a spring i. The lower part a<5> of the shell has a screw-thread, of greater pitch than the stud, which screws into a second sleeve a<7>, to which is keyed a removable studding-nut j held in place by a screw-cap m. In order to drive the sleeve a<7>, a peg o which passes through the part a<5> is forced by a spring r against the ends of opposite gaps in the sleeve. On commencing the reverse rotation of the spindle f, the shell a<2> rotates relatively to the sleeve a<7> until the peg reaches the end of the gap, and the portion a<5> is thus removed from the end of the stud to release the studding- nut. In the same way the part a<5> is forced on the stud before commencing the inserting operation.

Abstract: 20,575. Planes, Ltd., and Thompson, W. P. Sept. 8. Planes, arrangement and construction of; steering. -The upper surface or surfaces of a biplane or triplane machine can be drawn against the bottom surface, or furled, to form a monoplane when in flight. The upper plane B, which may be made of aluminium, or veneer, or thin ribs of steel &c. covered with fabric, is guided by four uprights C, C', and is drawn downwards when required by cords G, G<1> passing around.a shaft G'. The shaft G<4> carries a worm-wheel H, driven by a worm H<1>, which can be clutched to the engine shaft by moving the hand-lever K<1>. A pawl I engages with a ratchet-wheel on the shaft G<4> to hold it against rotation. When the shaft is freed by withdrawing the pawl, springs V move the upper plane B out of contact with the lower plane A, so that the wind can get underneath the upper plane and raise it to the position shown. Instead of drawing the upper plane into contact with the lower plane, the upper plane may be furled by drawing the rear portion over the front portion. The car is carried by hinged supports N.
