Title: Improvements in Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
Filed: 1907-10-26
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 23,698. Jardine, E., and Watchorn, E. Oct. 26. Lace machines.-The movement imparted to the rolling lockers of traverse net machines by the usual cranks D is modified by the employment of elliptic driving-wheels T, T<1>, which cause the cranks to rotate quicker at the dead points than at the intermediate position which they occupy while the comb point and guide bars are shogged. The carriages thus pass slowly over the well, and speed up as they approach the extremities of the traverse. The driving is effected through a driving-sleeve B loose on the crank-shaft C, and the gear train F, F<1>, T, T'. The bars may be shogged by edge-cams, such as L, driven from the wheel E attached to the sleeve B, and acting upon cam-levers, such as M, lying in the same plane. The lever M acts on a bell-crank O at right-angles to it, the upper end of which bears against a lever R pivoted at R<2>. The upper end of the lever R abuts against an adjustable stop Q', while the lower part controls the position of a sliding rod R<1> and the usual abutment for the point bars. An adjustable stop O<2> is also mounted in the lower arm of the bell-crank 0. A sliding rod P<3> connected to the guide-bars may be similarly controlled.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Checking the Fraudulent Use of Liquid-containing Bottles or like Receptacles.
Inventor: BLIGNIERES PAUL DE
Filed: 1907-11-25
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 26,061. BligniÞres, P. de. Nov. 25. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Bottles, non-refillable.-To prevent the second filling of a bottle from being poured out, a socket b surmounted by a dome g is secured in the neck of a bottle. A central stem h terminating in a screwed portion h<1> is attached to the dome and supports a screw-threaded wheel i provided with vanes i<1>, so arranged that when the first filling is being poured out the wheel revolves and moves along the screw h<1>, until, as the last of the liquid leaves the bottle, the wheel leaves the screwed portion and falls upon the seating d, thus obstructing the discharge if the bottle be filled a second time. Instead of securing the stem h to the dome g, the lower end of the stem may be secured in the lower part of the casing b, the upper end remaining free and terminating at the orifice e. To prevent rotation of the wheel except. during discharge, the stem h is made flattened or prismatic to allow a small sleeve to slide thereon without rotating. This s!eeve may be formed with a rib j<1> to engage a projection i<2> on the upper face of the wheel. When the bottle is tilted to discharge the contents, the sleeve j slides down the stem h and allows the wheel to revolve. The whole device is inserted into the bottle by first widening the neck, as shown in Fig. 1, to permit of the insertion, and subsequently narrowing down the neck to embrace the device tightly.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Pianos.
Inventor: FOWLER RUFUS BENNETT
Filed: 1908-05-19
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 10,881. Fowler, R. B. May 19. Automatic instruments.-In a pianoforte, which is adapted to be operated either manually or automatically, the keys may be disconnected from the actions and connected to levers controlling valves, which,determine the connexion of the note-operating pneumatics to high or low tension exhaust. Each note can thus be accentuated individually when the instrument is being played automatically. Levers 11 are pivoted at 12 on levers 13, which are pivoted in bearings 17 attached to the keyboard. A wedge - shaped block 19 is attached to each lever 13, so that when the levers 25 are caused to rotate in a counter - clockwise direction by pushing a lever arranged below the key-bed, the levers 13 are raised by the interaction of the rollers 21 with the wedges 19, thereby bringing the rods 30, which bear on the levers 11, into contact with the keys m. A bar h is simultaneously moved forward by the link 29, so that the buttons l, attached to the keys m, no longer engage the levers f, which are pivoted on the rod h. The secondary pneumaticchamber q is normally connected to the low-tension exhaust-chamber y through the valve 1. If however a key is depressed, the motion is transmitted through the links 30, 11 to the valve-spindle 3, and the valve 1, which is loose on its spindle, is closed, while the valve 2 is simultaneously opened, thereby connecting the note-operating pneumatic O to the high-tension exhaust-chamber Z, and causing the corresponding note to be sounded with more than the normal loudness. When the key is released, the valves are returned to the normal position by the action of the springs.

Felloes or rims.-Relates to circumferentiallysplit detachable tyre-carrying rims of the type in which the rim is prevented from creeping by the engagement of blocks secured to the interior of the rim with blocks fitted upon the periphery of the wheel. The locking-plates G, Fig. 3, are loosely pivoted on screws d' to one rim half, and studs d secured to the other rim half take into slots g. In other forms, the locking-plates are pivoted at d', Fig. 8, and grooves g<2>, g<2> co-operate with studs d to unite the halves. The driving- keys are secured to the fixed rim B, and take into the recesses left between the locking-plates. The engaging-surfaces of the rims, keys, and plates are coned for the whole or a portion only of their width. The detachable rim is secured by transverse bolts K provided with eccentric washers H. To prevent moisture from getting to the base of the tyre, an india-rubber washer c, Fig. 4, and a canvas strip c<1> are interposed between the security bolt heads N and the rim D. The heads N are provided with teeth which press into the edges of the tyre and prevent creeping. The tyre C may be secured in the rim as described in Specification No. 10,499, A.D. 1905, and the rim may be secured to the wheel by radial bolts, as described in Specification No. 11,206, A.D. 1908. Specification No. 15,499, A.D. 1907, describes one form of rim to which the invention is applicable.
