Title: Improvements in Flying Machines.
Inventor: DEGN PAUL FREDERIK
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 21,445. Degn, P. F. Oct. 24, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes &c., construction of; propelling; steering.-To prevent the pressure on the vanes on one side of supporting-propellers for aerial machines from being greater than that on the other side owing to the horizontal velocity of the machine, the advancing edge d of the flexible vane is secured to the rim of a wheel c fixed on the propeller shafts a, b, while the trailing edge is secured by a cord f to a point nearer the shaft as on a collar g. The pitch of the vanes on that side of the propeller which is moving in the same direction as the machine is thus decreased by their being raised in consequence of the increased pressure. Further, should the motors break down, the descent of the machine causes the pitch of the vanes to reverse as shown in the dotted lines, and to continue to revolve in the same direction, this being permitted by the ratchet device, Fig. 4, interposed in the driving-mechanism. To ensure this reversal, and also to cause the angle of pitch to decrease from the shaft outwards, the outer ends of the vanes are formed of a trapezoidal piece of sheet metal t having its broader side at the advancing edge so as to increase the tension at that edge. The edges of the vanes are also braced by triangular pieces of metal s. Two such propellers are mounted on co-axial shafts a, b revolved in opposite directions by bevel-gearing k ; and by means of a cord q running on pulleys r the collars g may be slid on the shafts so as to vary the pitch of the propellers and thus render their resistance to rotation unequal. By the consequent rotation of the car, steering is effected.

Title: Improvements in Mechanically Operated Pianos.
Inventor: HORNBECK HENRY STYBE
Filed: 1909-06-01
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 12,866. Hornbeck, H. S., and Newcomer, G. M. June 1. Player-pianos expression, controlling.-In an automatic piano, the main rest-rail f carries pneumatics g', which are adapted to operate sectional restrails g, and are controlled by means of a slide valve, the position of which may be varied by shifting the lever l. An indicator is provided to show which of the sectional rails is in the position for accentuation. On moving the lever l to the right, the motion is transmitted through the link l<1>, bell-crank l<1>, and link l<3> to a slide valve k. As the valve moves, a port h<2>, Fig. 6, is uncovered, admitting air through a pipe h<3> to a valve f <7>, which, in rising, connects the pneumatic f<6> to the wind-chest d<1> and causes it to collapse. The pneumatic f<6> is counected by a link f<5> to the main rest rail f, so that this moves about its pivots f<3>, causing all the piano hammers to be shifted towards the strings. As the motion of the valve f<7> continues, the ports h<1> are successively connected to the exhaust-chest d<1>, causing the pneumatics such as g<1> to be successively exhausted, and the throw of the corresponding hammers to be increased. At the same time, a rack attached to the valve and gearing with a pinion o<1> on a shaft o, actuates a device for indicating which pneumatic g<1> is deflated. This device, which is shown in Figs. 16 and 18, comprises a spindle n, marked with a line of dots n' arranged in a straight line and dots n<2> arranged spirally, and this spindle is adapted to rotate in a tube m having apertures m<1>. As the spindle rotates, the dots n<2> are visible through the apertures m<1> and indicate the position of the notes which will be accentuated. In a modification, means are also provided for indicating whether the sectional rest-rails are in position for solo, or piano playing throughout the scale, and the lever l, when pulled sideways, operates a valve controlling the connexion between the slide valve and the wind-chest. By depressing the lever l, a port is opened to operate a valve which controls the inflation or deflation of the pneumatic f<6>. A cranked rod, operated from the lever l, is substituted for the indicator shown in Figs. 16 and 18.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Screen-plates for Natural Colour Photography.
Inventor: PALMER HENRY WILLIAM HAMBLIN
IPC: G03C7/08
Filed: 1909-07-13
Granted: 1910-07-13
Abstract: 16,313. Palmer, H. W. H. July 13. Colour photography; screens and screen plates for.-Rolates to the preparation of screen plates for colour photography by using transparent casein or East Indian or other tree gum or like gummy substance, which is rendered insoluble in water by a suitable hardening-agent and ground to exceedingly fine globular particles. The casein or gum is dyed in bulk and hardened with formalin or tannin, and ground into very fine particles, which are rounded and smoothed by rotation in a machine of the kind used in making pillules. Alternatively, the particles may be dyed after granulation. The particles are then graded and selected in accurate proportions, so that when mixed they have the appearance of a neutral tint when evenly spread on a transparent support. The glass or other transparent support is coated with gelatine or other tacky coating, and the particles are distributed over this surface. Any superfluous particles are removed by a soft hair brush. The dry grains absorb moisture on standing and become softened, or such softening may be effected by spraying or otherwise applying moisture. The grains are then flattened out under pressure, and a coating of waterproof varnish is applied. Any interstices remaining after flattening may be filled in with the finest possible particles of the same composition, or alternatively by again rendering the whole surface plastic by moisture and applying sufficient pressure to obtain a complete mosaic. The emulsion is coated on the back of the plate or support, and is exposed through the screen. Specifications 5597/92, 3252/08, 50/09, and 11,147/09 are referred to.

Abstract: 19,713. Marks, E. C. R., [Mather, W. P.]. Oct. 19, 1908. Forging-machines; forging-dies; axial-rolling.- Opposed co-operating dies have movable work receiving members yieldingly extending through them to different distances with different strengths. As applied to making balls, blanks from bar stock fed and gauged as described in Specifications 22,077/08 and 19,711/09, [Class 83 (iii), Metals, Cutting &c.], are transferred as described in Specification 19,712/09, [Class 83 (iii), Metals, Cutting &c.], by jaws 154 to spring - pressed rods 144, 145 forming part of the dies 120, 121 and carrying nuts working in recesses. The pin 145 is arranged to protrude further than the pin 144, but its spring is weaker, so that when the dies close, the pin 145 retires until its projection is equal to that of the pin 144, after which both pins retire equally and finally from a part of the die surface. The dies are secured by taper bases and nuts to blocks adjustably mounted on heads. One head is splined to its supporting-frame in the rear, and is adjustable longitudinally by a screwed bush and lock-nut 6. The other head is splined against rotation, and is connected by a ball-and-socket joint to an eccentric rod adjustable in length. The adjustable mounting of the dies on the beads enables them to be adjusted to suit other parts of the machine, in the present case the axial rolls, for severing the blanks from the bar.
