Abstract: 16,712. Foster, W. A., and Woodman, W. W. July 22. [Cognate Application No. 24,899, A.D. 1907, dated Nov. 11.] Locking-apparatus to prevent thelt; steering-mechanism.-In a cycle head lock of the kind wherein the locking is effected by the tightening of a gripping-band round the movable member of the cycle head by means of a screw and nut, the screw head or the nut is provided with a fixed or rotatable enclosing casing and is so arranged that it can only be turned by a key introduced at the front opening of the casing. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to the kind of head lock described in Specification No. 25,090, A.D. 1894, the nut 7 being shouldered to carry a casing 8 which is freely rotatable upon the nut. To operate the nut, a key 14, Fig. 3, is introduced into the casing to engage the nut by means of such devices as projections 17, 18 entering corresponding recesses in the nut. A head 13 prevents the nut from leaving the screw, the key being hollowed to pass over the head. The casing may be formed in one with the cycle head lug 1. The invention may also be applied to the steering-locks described in Specifications No. 14,969, A.D. 1894, and No. 23,365, A.D. 1896, the casing being formed at the front of the enlarged end of the band or carried upon the nut as shown in Fig. 2. In the kind of lock wherein the tightening-screw passes through a hole at one end of the band and a nut at the other end, the head of the screw may be made with a part of reduced diameter to carry the casing, or the casing may be formed integrally with the cycle head lug.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Telephonic Apparatus.
Inventor: TARDIEU VICTORIEN
Filed: 1907-07-23
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 16,854. Tardieu, V. Jan. 12, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telephones ; telephone systems.-Relates to the construction of a telephone hook switch and of a calling switch, and also to the circuit arrangements at a subscribers' station. A method of attaching a telephone transmitter to the casing is also described. On each side of the hook lever are screwed two insulated plates, on which may rest the contact-studs of two sets of conducting-strips c, d and e, f. When the hook a is in its raised position, the contact-studs on the strips c, d, f touch the metal plates on the switch lever, and a circuit through the battery and transmitter is completed through the strips c and the metal plates that they touch. The strips d are similarly placed in conducting communication with the strips f, whereby the circuit from the line through the receiver is completed. When the hook a is lowered, the strips e come in contact with one pair of the metal plates on the switch lever, thus completing the calling circuit from the line, through the strips f, while contact between the metal plates and the strips c, d is at the same time broken. The calling circuit contains, besides the strips e, f, a calling switch, provided with three pairs of contacts m, n, o, Figs. 1 and 3. Normally the pairs of contacts m, o are electrically connected through the two pairs of contact strips y<1>, z, Fig. 3 ; but when the switch lever is depressed by a pressure on the button, the strips z move out of contact with the contacts o, and into contact with the contacts n with which the calling battery is connected. The circuit through the subscribers' calling battery to line is thus completed, and the circuit from line to the call bell is at the same time broken. A clamp for attaching a telephone transmitter to the case is shown in Fig. 8. The transmitter is held between the semicircular metallic segments x<1>, which also form part of the electric circuit of the transmitter. Specification No. 11,262, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Abstract: 5948. K÷rting Akt.-Ges., Geb. June 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Casings; water connexions.-Relates to means for preventing the "breaking" of the jet when the flow of water from the feed-tank is interrupted, and consists in the provision of a water reservoir connected with the suction chamber. The suction chamber a is connected by a channel b to the reservoir c, which is more or less filled to a constant level with water during the action of the injector. Any stoppage in the feed at d causes water to be sucked out of the reservoir and at the same time reduces the pressure, thus causing suction in the pipe connected at d. By providing a partition k, an air trap is formed which helps to prevent injury to the nozzles due to shocks. One or more fine perforations may be made in the wall separating the space m from the suction chamber a, to withdraw air carried over from the feed-tank and to cause equal pressures to obtain in the chambers a, m. The reservoir may be separate from the injector, in which case it is inserted in the suction pipe close to and preferably higher than the injector. A pressure reservoir may be attached to the pressure chamber i. The two reservoirs may be separate, or may be arranged in one vessel with a partition wall.

Inventor: WELSH TOM
IPC: F02M17/24
Filed: 1909-01-23
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 1658. Welsh, T. Jan. 23. Spray carburettors.-The inertia of the air and petrol columns is balanced by decreasing the distance from the jet to the nearest point in the petrol supply that is open to the atmosphere. In the reservoir E connecting the float chamber B with the mixing-chamber C, having a removable cover D, is placed a gauze or elastic tube F the upper end of which is fixed to or forms the jet. The latter controlled by a valve K is surrounded by a small tube H, Fig. 4, having an enlarged extension J and is carried by a plate L, which may be fixed by a clip or the like in the passage C. The reservoir E is open to the atmosphere through a passage G. In the case of a perforated tube, petrol rises by capillary action and forms an elastic film, which excludes air from the tube F and partly collapses during suction in the same manner as an elastic tube and allows the petrol to pulsate. Hot air is admitted to the passage C, and both hot and cold air to the passage N with which the passage C communicates.
