Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Advertising Purposes.
Inventor: WOOLFE HENRY
Filed: 1904-10-26
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 23,088. Woolfe, H. Oct. 26. Phonographs &c.-In an advertising-device in which advertisements are successively displayed, while a talking-machine delivers speeches in praise of the article advertised, the reproducer arm h of the taking-machine is raised from the record when it reaches the end of the advertisements, and returned to its original position at the beginning of the record, by a combination of feed-screws, guides, and a tripping-device, the whole apparatus being worked by a suitable motor. The arm h travels forward along the feed-screw g until it is tripped by a device j, when it is put into engagement with the other feed screw i, by which it returns to the beginning of the record, the stylus being raised from the record. The sound is conducted to the trumpet-shaped pipe l, which may be open to the air at its end, or may lead to the mouth of a bust or model.
Patent GB-190427080-A (GB)
Title: Improved Construction of Locks.
Inventor: HORSEY JOHN GEORGE
Filed: 1904-12-12
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 27,080. Horsey, J. G. Dec. 12. Locks, key.-Relates to locks, the combination of which can be easily changed to suit different keys. Secured to the bolt 1 are a number of plates 4, each provided with a projection 5 which is adapted to pass into a recess 10 of a corresponding slider 8 mounted to slide on pins 6 on the case. The sliders are moved, to bring the recesses 10 into position, by a set of levers 12 operated by a key which afterwards withdraws the bolt. The plates 4 can be moved by hand when the case cover is removed so as to set the projections 5 for a new key. In Fig. 4 is shown a modification in which the sliders are operated directly by the key. In this case, the plates 4 are moved, to change the combination, by means of a tool inserted in an opening in the front end of the case made by the removal of a part 16 of the bolt head, teeth 18, 19 on the plates and part 16, respectively, being adapted to secure the plates in position. A projection 21, extending fully across the case, is formed on the tail of the bolt to co-operate with the plate 22 fixed in the case to prevent picking of the lock. In the Provisional Specification, the plates 4 are described as being of different lengths, and provided with outstanding lugs to co-operate with the turnedover tops of the spring-controlled levers. The combination is changed by means of an arm which moves all the plates, when free, so as to allow of re-adjustment, and is operated by a knob outside. Means are described for securing the plates 4 in position on the bolt. In another modification, a pin can be secured in any one of six holes bored through the bolt head, which pin, when the bolt is withdrawn, is adapted to enter a notch formed in a corresponding lever operated by the key. The combination is changed by inserting the pin in a different hole so that a key with a different length of bitt must be used.

Title: An Improved Shackle Coupling, or Chain.
Inventor: PAGE FRANCIS TEMPLE
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 28,125. Page, F. T. Dec. 22. Coupling-links; wire-link chains ; shackles. Coupling-links and links for chains are made from wire, a length alpha of which is formed with a loop b in the centre and is bent into the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The ends of the chains to be coupled or other similarly-made chain links are passed over the free ends c of the link, which are then pushed through the loop b, the link being then straightened out as shown in Fig. 3, so that the loop b is caused to grip the ends c and retain them in position. In a modification, hinges are provided at d, e to facilitate coupling and uncoupling. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the wire is bent to form two parallel bars a, which are bent at j and have their ends inserted into loops h formed in the bars a.

Abstract: 28,400. Hoyland, W. Dec. 27. Sofas, couches, and lounges; bedsteads.-Relates to a couch convertible into a double bed. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to an ottoman couch. An underframe B hinged to the box part of the ottoman is provided on its upper surface with a wire mattress or padding, and to it is hinged an upper frame D, padded upon its upper surface to form the seat of the couch and provided with a wire mattress or padding on its under surface. The back G and head F of the couch are secured to the frame D, and act as legs to the bedstead when it is rotated into the position shown by dotted lines. When, in some cases, it is necessary to have the head-rest F higher than the length required for it to act as a leg, the top end of the box portion A is 'provided with the device shown in Fig. 5. The castors H are secured to a board J hinged to the box bottom. When the couch is lifted, the spring J<1> pulls the board into a vertical position, and the couch resting upon the board has its top end elevated to agree with the head F. A stop j prevents the board from passing beyond the vertical position, and a cord K may be used to retain it when desired against the action of the spring J<1>.

Abstract: 26,985. Stanley, R. Dec. 27. Contacts, mechanical; audible signals; miniature signals; crossing-gate signals.-A train approaching a crossing depresses a mechanical track treadle to sound a bell and actuate an indicator at the crossing. The treadle comprises a vertically-sliding plate A, Fig. 1, mounted in guides C immediately adjacent to the rail B to be depressed by a wheel flange and so to actuate a weighted lever G, which is pivoted at J and which, alternately to or in addition to the balance weight K<1>, may be supported by a spring F.

Abstract: 11,911. Robertson, C. May 22. Winding.-Relates to a machine for winding narrow fabrics, bands, braids, tapes, ribbons, &c. on to cardboard bobbins, boards, or holders forming part of the machine. Headstocks 1, 2, Fig. 1, are mounted upon a bed 3, the headstock 1 being fixed while the other is adjustable by a screw 4 and nut 5. Shafts 11 in the headstocks carry holders 17 with jaws 21 for supporting the bobbin or winding- board. These shafts are driven from the shaft 6 by bevel-gearing as shown. The headstock 2 is connected by a link 33 to the spring lever 34 to release the bobbin &c. An adjustable guide-device is employed, consisting of two wings 36 mounted upon the parts of a right and left handed screw 37. The wings and screw are mounted upon an arm 38 provided with a fixing - screw 40 and sliding on a fixed bar 39. The guide-device is given a reciprocating motion along the fixed bar. This motion preferably consists of a step-by-step motion effected by means of the cam 42 rotated by the pawl 43 and ratchetwheel 44 through the lever 45 and link 46. The pawl 43 is actuated by the lever 47, which derives its motion from the disk 48 driven by gear-wheels from the spindle 11 in the headstock 1. The form of holder for use with cardboard bobbins consists of a plate 17, Fig. 3, having dogs 18 working in the slots; 19 and movable by a rotatable cam-disk 20. A modified form of holder shown in Fig. 5, and adapted to hold a board, consists of a plate 17, having jaws 21 carried on sliding pieces 23. These sliding pieces are connected by links to a handlever 25, the turning of which causes the jaws to move towards or away from each other.

Abstract: 14,393. M³ller, C. O. June 23. Posts, especially for electric equipment, are prevented from rotting by fitting them with a special shoe, consisting of an iron tube a closed at the bottom and provided inside with three or more ribs b upon which the tapered end of the post c rests, spacing-pieces f serving to keep the pole in a vertical position. A jacket h, made in two halves bolted together and provided with strenathening- flanges l, as shown in Fig. 2, to bear lateral pressure, is placed round the upper part of the shoe, so that the inwardly-bent portion h<1> of the jacket h can engage with a groove e made in the post, and so, when rendered water-tight by cement or putty m, keep rain from the inside of the shoe. Holes n in the top of the shoe and in the jacket and passages i in the bottom of the post serve as air-circulating channels to keep the post from rot. The bolts k are preferably beneath the ground, to avoid wanton loosening of the jacket connexions. The shoe has lateral projections and is usually embedded in cement.
