Patent GB-190714565-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Mandrels.
Inventor: LOVE WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-06-24
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 14,565. Love, W. June 24. Paper, winding. - In contractible mandrels on which paper or other sheet material can be wound into the form of tubes, the external periphery comprises a fixed portion and two or three longitudinal segments adapted to be moved lougitudinally and radially to vary the diameter of the mandrel, and also circumferentially to grip the paper between the fixed portion of the periphery and an edge of one of the segments. At intervals along an inner tube 1, Fig. 1, are fixed cylindrical and conical rings 2 on which are fixed similar rings 3 ; an outer tube 5 is secured to all the former parts. Segments 5' of the tubes 5 with corresponding segments 3<2> of the outer rings 3 are movable relatively to the fixed portion as described above. The segments are guided by pins 11 projecting into slots 10 in the tube 1, and springs 14 keep the ring segments in contact with the rings 2 or tube 1. As the pins 11 move along the straight portions 10<1> of the slots 10, the ring segments 3<2> ride up on the rings 2 and expand the mandrel ; the pins then move in the helicoidal portions 10<2> of the slots and move the segments circumferentially to grip the paper. A plug 15 is fixed in one end of the tube 1 and a ring 16 which surrounds it is shaped so as to support the segments 5' when the mandrel is contracted. The other end of the tube 1 is carried by a cast-iron spigot 17 which is strengthened by a steel bolt 19 and can be attached to the chuck of the machine by a flange 18. A portion 20 of the spigot corresponds to the rings 2, and strips 21 fixed to the segments 5<2> correspond to the ring segments 3<2>. The segments 5<2> are connected to a sleeve 24 by means of bolts 27 ; a flange 26 enables the sleeve to be slid longitudinally on the tube 5, rotation being prevented by a feather-and-slot connexion 25. The bolts 27 slide in circumferential slots 28 in the sleeve to permit the circumferential movement of the segments 5<2>. Springs 33 surrounding pins 31 which slide in slots in bridge-pieces 29 which connect the bolts 27 serve for the same purpose as the springs 14. According to the Provisional Specification, there may be only one movable segment of the periphery, and also the segments may move radially and circumferentially simultaneously. The mandrel may be used in the machines described in Specifications No. 25,449, A.D. 1901, and No. 4445, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Pipes &c.].

Title: Improvements in Sparking Plugs for Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: HOLSTEN ALFRED
Filed: 1907-10-29
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 23,878. Holsten, A. Oct. 29. Gas and like engines, igniting in. The sparking- plug 6 has a fixed terminal 29 and a movable terminal 26 integral with a rod 25 secured in an insulating-sleeve 21, which is adapted to be reciprocated automatically by the fluctuations of the cylinder pressure. The sleeve loosely fits the plug and cap 13, and comprises a boss 22 having coned ends 23, 24 acting as valves ; the cone 23 has an air channel 23<1> therein. As the charge is drawn in, the sleeve is drawn to the left and the valve 23 is seated, while air for scouring the sparking-terminals is drawn past the sleeve by way of the channel 231. During compression, the sleeve is forced to the right and the valve 24 is seated, thus preventing the outward passage of the combustion products after ignition has taken place. As the terminals rub together during the motion of the sleeve, a bright and clean sparking-surface is maintained. The travel of the sleeve, and thereby the length of the spark, is adjusted by means of the screw-cap 13, which is held in place by a set-screw 20.

Abstract: 28,350. McNeil, J., and McNeil, C. Dec. 24. Sugar-cane mills.-Rolls for sugar-cane mills having circumferential ridges or teeth A, Fig. 1, with intervening channels B are provided with a series of short zigzag grooves C extending longitudinally from end to end of the roll. The length and angle of each side of each groove and the distance the grooves are spaced apart around the circumference of the roll are such that no portion of the grooves on two rolls are simultaneously opposite the point of contact of the rolls, but that there is always a portion of one of the series of grooves opposite this point. The ends of the oppositely-angled sides of each series of grooves may all merge into each other, or, as shown in Fig. 3, the portion of the grooves angled in one direction may be arranged with their ends opposite the sides of the portions angled in the opposite direction. The grooves C are formed with their forward sides D more nearly tangential to the surface of the roll than the rear sides E, which approach the radial.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 5552. Mottier, W. F. March 12, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Water and other liquid pressure engines ; working- valves.-An hydraulic motor comprising a cylinder 20, in which reciprocate two pistons 27<a>, 27<b> mounted on the same rod 28, is provided with two sets of distributing-valves. The primary valvechest 22 encloses four pistons 24<a>, 24<b>, 24<c>, 24<d> suitably mounted on a rod 23. Posts 6, 7 and ducts B, D connect the ends of the cylinder 20 with the valve-chest 22 so that, in the various positions of the valve-rod 23, one connexion will be open and the other closed to the power supply. A secondary valve-chest 21 encloses five pistons 25<a> ... 25<e> mounted on a rod 26. Four ports 8, 15, 16, 17 so connect the valve-chest 21 with the cylinder that, in each terminal position of the main piston-rod 28, three of them communicate with the space between the main pistons 27<a>, 27<b>, which space is open to the eduction pipe 18, while the fourth port is in communication with the valve-chest 22 through the duct B. Passages 2, 3 lead from the supply pipe 1 to the valve-chests 22, 21 respectively, the passage 2 being always open to the space between the pistons 24<b>, 24<c> and the passage 3 being open to the space between the central piston 25<c> and either of the pistons 25<b> or 25<d>, according to the position of the valve-rod 26. These spaces between the central piston 25<c> and the adjacent piston communicate with the ends of the primary valve-chest through ducts A, C. When the main piston reaches the end of its stroke as shown the pressure fluid passes through the duct 17 and moves over the secondary valve, thus allowing new pressure fluid to pass along the passages 3, A and move over the primary valve for effecting the return stroke. Specifications No. 2611, A.D. 1881, and No. 14,264, A.D. 1886, are referred to. The Specification in the original form, as open to public inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the use of any fluid under pressure as the driving-medium ; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 3635. Hingston, W. H., and Brown, D. E. Aug. 16. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing.-Relates to epicyclic two-speed gearing of the class comprising only two toothed wheels, one of which is eccentrically mounted and connected to the driven element by coupling-links. An internally-toothed ring g is connected by crank links h to a motor-cycle wheel hub a. An eccentric d, which carries the ring g, is connected by a sleeve c to a driving-element b. The sleeve c is supported at both ends upon ball bearings e, e', Fig. 1, and carries a free-wheel sprocket f at its other end. A fixed spindle l supports the entire gear. The epicyclic motion of the spring g is such that it remains in mesh with a pinion j, which is secured to a brake drum k. The gearing becomes operative to produce a slow speed when the drum k is held against rotation. A solid high-speed drive is effected by clutching the eccentric d to the hub a. The clutch i is of the expanding-band type, operated when a push-rod u is thrust outwards by a slidable cone t. The cone t is thrust axially, for this purpose, by the relative rotation of helical cams q, r effected by turning a crank-arm p. The clutch i is disengaged by springs v, Fig. 2.
