Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 27,064. Symonds, J. E. Nov. 28. Pyrometers.-In optical pyrometers, a differential thermometer is employed, so made that the gas pressure and volume is equal in both limbs when the furnace under observation, an aperture in the wall of which is focused by a lens or mirror on to one bulb of the thermometer, is at the desired working temperature, thus minimizing the effects of variations in the atmospheric temperature. Fig. 1 shows a differential thermometer a with a mirror f and diaphragm g for focusing the images of the aperture on the bulb b. Wires 0, 1, 2, 3 are fused. into the stem a for making circuits at temperatures just below, at, and above the desired working temperature respectively ; at the desired temperature the mercury is level in both limbs, one end of the column then being between the wires 2, 3. At d, d<1> constrictions or stop-cocks are arranged in the stem to prevent the mercury from flowing into the bulbs when the instrument is being carried about. Mercury reservoirs c, c' are also formed in the stem. A separate electro-magnet with a pencil-carrying armature is arranged in each circuit in such a manner that only one pencil can be operated at a time. Distinguishing bells or lamps are also placed in these circuits so that one bell or lamp only is operated at a time. Electromagnetic switches are described for closing the lamp circuits, the armatures, which carry conical plugs between spring contacts, being lifted vertically to complete the circuits. According to the Provisional Specification, there need only be one circuit in conjunction with the thermometer, the rising mercury being arranged to cut out resistances; the indicating or recording instrument in the circuit is a galvanometer, or the instrument described in Specification No. 16,718, A.D. 1897.

Title: Improvements in Air Pressors for Percussive Tools.
Filed: 1907-01-15
Granted: 1908-01-15
Abstract: 1060. Lake, H. H., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Jan. 15. Percussive hand tools.-In an aircompressor for actuating percussive tools by means of reciprocating columns of air, of the kind in which an auxiliary pump is provided for creating and maintaining the pressure of the working columns, a single delivery passage is employed for feeding the air alternately to opposite sides of the compressor piston; means for preventing oil leakage and for supplying lubricating-oil to the pump are also described. The combined compressor and auxiliary pump is driven through gearing by, preferably, an electric motor 2 provided with a known type of controlling-device 2x, the whole apparatus being mounted on a portable platform 1. The front end of the compressor cylinder 11 is extended to form the pump cylinder 13, and the rear end to form a closed crank casing 9. The hollow compressor piston 14 is integral with the pump piston 18 and a trunk guide 17. Flexible tubes leading from the ends of the compressor cylinder convey the working column to the tool. The pump cylinder has inlet and discharge valves to its cover, and a single delivery pipe 27 leads from the discharge valve 21 to a distributing wall port 28 passed over by the compressor piston 4. The position of the port 28 is predetermined so that the working columns on each side of the piston receive a due proportion of the air compressed by the pump. A pipe 33 from the crank casing has its exit upwardly directed into the inlet pipe of the pump, immediately below the inlet valve. This prevents the wasteful discharge of oil from the crank casing through the bearings 6, under the pressure due to air leakage past the trunk guide 17, and causes a jet of air and oil to be delivered to the pump at every suction stroke, the oil assisting in the lubrication of the reciprocating parts.

Title: Apparatus for Obtaining Photographs from Balloons or Kites.
Inventor: CAPPER JOHN EDWARD
Filed: 1907-04-23
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 9445. Capper, J. E., and Brewer, G. April 23. Kites; aerostats.-An apparatus for obtaining photographs from balloons or kites is so constructed that, when an electric impulse is sent to the apparatus in the balloon from the ground by means of a twin wire, the shutters are actuated, an unexposed portion of film takes the place of the exposed portion, and the camera is turned through a certain angle and made ready to take another photograph on the reception of a second impulse. Clock-work mechanism 15 supplied the power necessary for the performing of the various movements, and any number of successive photographs may be taken. Fig. 1 is an elevation, and Fig. 3 a reversed plan, both partly in section, of the apparatus. The leading lines of the balloon are attached to the hoop 1, which also forms the base of support of the camera. A flange 3 on the hoop supports a turntable 5, which carries the side frames 6, to which the camera is attached The camera is carried in trunnions 7, and can be adjusted and fixed at any angle to the horizontal before the balloon is sent up. The camera lens is shown at 44, and the disk 39, in which an aperture is cut, forms the lens shutter. The apparatus being adjusted, an electrical impulse is sent over the wires to the magnetic catch which holds the disk 39 in position. The catch being thus released, the disk is free to rotate under the influence of the coiled spring 37. Immediately the lens is entirely uncovered by the rotation of the disk, a peripheral cam on the disk actuates mechanism by which the focal plane shutter, which has been held under tension, is released, and is drawn across the plate, effecting the necessary exposure of the film. The continued movement of the disk causes the cam to actuate mechanism by which the catch is released ; and, under the influence of the clock-work, a spur-wheel 9, engaging a rack 4 on the hoop 1, causes the camera to move angularly until the catch is once more called into play, and a brake stops the movement of the clock - work mechanism. During the time the camera is being turned, suitable mechanism rolls up the focal plane shutter again under tension, the exposed film is rolled up, and a new film substituted, and the spring 37 of the disk 39 is once more coiled so that the camera is ready to take another photograph.

Abstract: 12,345. Maynard, G., and Veness, G. T. Dec. 7. Burners, mounting and adjusting; atmospheric gas burners.-The burners of gas stoves are movable towards or from the hot-plate and may be so arranged that the gas supply is automatically regulated as the burner is moved. In the form of the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the burner A is supported by arms B<1> on a shaft B which turns in holes L in the end plates E. A spiral spring D secured at one end to the stove frame and at the other to a loose adjustable collar C, fixed in position by a screw C', serves to counterbalance the weight of the burner. The burner is provided with a slot A opposite the nozzle of the gas tap K<1>, and has an extension to which is secured a plate A<2>. The plate works in the opening E' in the end plate E, and the opening is shaped as shown so as to cause the burner always to remain parallel to the hot-plate bars H. These and the burner are provided with recesses H', H<2>, respectively, to enable the burner to approach near to the utensil. To the plug K of the gas cock is secured a lever F, furnished at its end with a pin F', which engages with the part of the plate A<2> outside the stove. When the gas is turned on at the cock K<1>, the pin F' depresses the plate and draws the burner down. If the gas is turned down, the pin F<1> moves upwards and the spring lifts the burner. The upper limit of the movement of the burner is fixed by the top of the opening E', and the lower limit by a step on a hanging toothed piece J. The toothed piece may be pulled towards the plate A<2> to arrest the upward movement of the burner. A transverse slot in the lever F provides for adjustment of the pin F'. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 6, the gas nozzle M<3> fits loosely in the burner neck, being connected with the gas-supply, pipe G by means of a pipe M<4> jointed to an upright piece M. The friction at the joint, which is in alinement with the shaft supporting the burner, retains the burner in any position in which it is placed, and the cock M<2> serves for regulating the gas supply. The widened end A<2> of a leg attached to the burner engages in the opening E<1>.
