Title: Improvements in Targets.
Inventor: ROSS CHARLES HENRY
IPC: F41J1/00
Filed: 1909-02-20
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 4182. Ross, C. H. Feb. 20. Targets. -Relates to rotary targets, bullet catchers, and auxiliary targets. Revolving target disks are detachably connected to a driving- spindle by means of studs 21, 22 engaging in perforations in the disks, and the bullets, on passing through a target exposed through an opening 23 in a hinged door of a casing 10, are deflected by inclined plates 25<a>, 25<b> sliding in guides 26 on the casing. Numbers on the target disk 20 are exposed through an opening 24, and the movement of the disk is checked when a target is in correct exposed position, by means of spring stops 28 on the driving - spindle engaging in perforations in the casing. An independent target card may be inserted in slideways 29 on the casing in front of the aperture 23, or may be hinged to the casing.
Patent GB-190905569-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Sliding Railways.
Inventor: THERYC CHARLES
IPC: B61B13/08
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 5569. ThÚryc, C. April 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Sliding vehicles. - Re-. lates to sliding railways of the Girard-Barre type, the vehicles being propelled by electric or any other power. The usual slide a, shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 1, is now surrounded by a second or counter slide b to reduce the consumption of water or air. The fluid under pressure is supplied to the inner slide through the pipes c, d, e so as to enter the slide from below and compress the air imprisoned in the slide. Fluid escaping from the inner slide passes into the space 1, and the amount passing back to the tank through the pipes e<1>, d<1>, h is so regulated by the adjustment of the valve j and the number of grooves f, g on the slides as to leave under the light counter-slide only the pressure sufficient to raise it. The inner slide may be made without grooves, and a corresponding additional number of grooves added to the counter - slide. To avoid waste in passing over points and crossings, the pipes c are automatically cut off from the supply and connected to the exhaust just before reaching them, by means of track contacts. The compressed air in the inner slide then drives the water under the slides through the pipes e to the exhaust tank, the outer slide being emptied in a similar manner through the pipes e<1>, d<1>. As soon as the points &c. have been passed, the fluid under pressure is again automatically admitted. The double slides may also be applied under the tractors or locomotives in order to reduce the weight on the usual supporting- springs to the amount required for obtaining sufficient adhesion of the wheels for propulsion. The counter-slide may in turn be surrounded by one or more similar slides, and this slide may be kept raised by springs, balance weights, or rollers travelling on the sliding platform, instead of by the pressure of the fluid. The circumference of the counter-slide may be provided with a solid or hollow rubber tube or band, or with a thin metal blade or brush of any flexible material.

Title: Process for the Manufacture of Metallic Filaments for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: JAHODA RUDOLF
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1909-07-02
Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 15,496. Jahoda, R. May 10, [Convention date]. Filaments of tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and the like are made from the powdered metals with a small addition of copper, silver, or an oxide or hydroxide thereof, together with just sufficient organic binding-material to enable the mass to be squirted ; for instance, tungsten may be mixed with five to ten per cent of copper, and the product with twenty per cent of a solution of collodion or sugar. The added fusible metal softens during carbonization, and subsequently acts as a binder until removed in the final heating. Carbonization may be effected at a high temperature in hydrogen, and a little carbon may be left in the filaments.

Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 16,464. K÷hn, F. July 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Vaporizing-apparatus; vapour supply.-A method of heating furnaces by means of tar or other heavy hydrocarbons consists in heating the tar &c. and then spraying it, whereby the readily condensable pitch is separated from the lighter vapours, which are led to a furnace or, if desired, in part to a condensation plant. Tar is pumped through a coil w within the vessel a, from which it passes to a coil b in the flues of a steam-boiler e, where it is raised to or above its temperature of vaporization, and it then passes to the sprayer c. The vapours pass away to the furnace d, and the hot pitch flows down over the coil and partitions arranged within the vessel a, where the tar is preliminarily heated. An auxiliary furnace is employed for heating the tar when starting the plant.

Abstract: 24,310. Preston, W. R., and Sedgfield, P. Oct. 22. Fastenings, pivoted-stanchion type, for wagon doors.-To prevent the stanchions from jamming owing to the pressure of the door, the supporting-bracket is so formed that, as the stanchion is raised, it also moves away from the door. For this purpose, the guide surfaces g of the supporting-bracket and the slot a of the pin-and-slot connexion may be inclined, as shown in Fig. 2, being, however, preferably vertical at the upper portion to prevent casual rising of the stanchion. The lower end of the stanchion j may be inclined, to correspond with the guides g. In a further modification, Fig. 8, the slot n and outer supporting-surface of the bracket are vertical, but there is an inner inclined surface r, so that, as the stanchion is raised, it can pivot outwards about the pin h. The lower end of the surface r is preferably vertical, and may comprise an antifriction roller.
