Patent GB-190728744-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Clips for Stentering Machines.
Inventor: WHITLEY ALFRED AUSTIN
Filed: 1907-12-31
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 28,744. Whitley, A. A., and Fell, H. Dec. 31. Tentering.-Tentering-clips of the kind in which the upper jaw is held open against the action of a spring or springs while the gauge-finger is resting on the fabric, and is released when the finger drops, are arranged so that practically the only weight on the fabric is that of the gauge-finger. The finger 12, Fig. 1, pivoted on projections 11 of the clip, is provided with a slot 8, in which moves a roller 6 on a pin 7 fixed to the bent-over lever 2 hinged at 5 to the base-plate. One or more springs 13 act against a roller on the pin 7 and tends to close the clip. In a modification, Fig. 3, the slot is replaced by a projecting piece 8, against which the roller 6 acts, and one or more springs 13 for closing this clip are pivoted to the lever 2 at 14 and to the finger pivot 10. In either case, the direction of pressure exerted by the springs is such as to lock the lever 2 when the finger 12 rests on the fabric. On opening the clip, the roller 6, Fig. 1, acts against the slot 8, or the roller 17, Fig. 3, pivoted at 18 to the lever 2 acts against the projecting piece 8, and raises the finger. The jaws may be plain as in Fig. 3, or of the pin-grip type as in Fig. 1, and the clips may run on chain-wheels in vertical or horizontal planes.

Patent GB-190813999-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Packages for Photographic Plates or Films, and in Means for the Successive Exposure of said Plates or Films.
Filed: 1908-07-01
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 13,999. Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. July 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Change-boxes.-The plates or films are packed with loose interposition sheets 2, Fig. 1, which project through a light-trapped end 3 of the pack and are threaded together on a button stud 9 of the package casing 8. The package may be closed by a removable end piece 6, with slides 7, Fig. 3, which slides into a holder with a lower storage space 12. The end 14 of the holder is held by spring catches 15. The holder is used in conjunction with the change-box shown in Fig. 6, and is inserted through an opening in the end. To expose the topmost film, the top sheet 2 is pulled out, and to change the film the pack is pulled out through the opening. The spring 16, Fig. 3, on the holder retains the end piece 6, and the hooked spring 23 retains the upper film, which is pressed to the bottom by springs 22. On replacing the holder the film thus enters the storage space 12. In a modified holder the end 17; Fig. 8, is closed and the pack, open at the other end, forms an integral part of the holder. A stop 5 prevents the pack from being drawn out too far in using the change-box. In a further modification, the films-are perforated at their ends 27, Fig. 11, and the case of the film pack itself has the storage chamber 12, Fig. 11, below the pack, and a renewable end piece 6. The case is used directly with the change-box. In inserting the case the end piece 6 is pushed beyond the spring catches 30 which retain it. After exposure, by drawing the top sheet 2, the top film is retained by the spring finger 31, and the spring 32 rises to hold the film between its end and the finger 31 as the case is drawn out. The spring catch 34 catches a hole 35 in the case bottom preventing it from being drawn right out. Springs 33 press the end of the film down so that, on reinserting the case, the film enters the space 12. As the case advances, it depresses the spring 32, thereby releasing the film from the finger 31. The Specification in the original form, as open to public inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modified construction in which the interposition sheets are attached to the plates or films, and do not project from the package. The package is introduced from the back of the change-box, and spring fingers similar to those described in the modification of Fig. 11 are used to retain the uppermost plate or film. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

The washer is secured by a plate G, the projection F being expanded into engagement with the flange of the plate to hold both plate and washer securely in place. In a modification, the plate G may be dispensed with.
Patent GB-190820137-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Bedsteads.
Inventor: JOHNSON EDWARD ERNEST
Filed: 1908-09-25
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 20,137. Johnson, E. E. Sept 25. Bedsteads having head and foot frames are constructed so that they may be employed as double bedsteads of ordinary width, or separated into two single bedsteads or units each of full width. In the form shown in Fig. 1, this is effected by making each unit with telescopic end frames. Rails A<5> telescope within rails A<6>, and the ends G', G<2> of the inner angle-bars H<1>, H<2> rest on and slide along parts J of the head and foot frames. The adjusting - means consist of a rod D screwing into a socket C and operated by a handle E. the turning of which simultaneously operates, through bevelgearing F<1> and a rod F<2>, a similar arrangement at the other end of the bedstead. In a modification, Fig. 4, the bars H<1>, H<2> are rigidly secured to the framing of the two parts of the unit, and leaves B', B<2> are hinged to the head and foot frames, and when not required are folded down below the bedstead surface. In each form, additional mattress-supporting portions are hinged to the frames as at N', N<2> so that they may be lowered out of the way when not required. To form a double bed, two units are connected together by couplings L', L<2> constructed so that on releasing a coupling and moving apart the units at one end the other coupling is automatically disconnected. Bedsteads of the above type are especially suitable for use in conjunction with folding mattresses as described in Specification No. 7786, A.D. 1908.

Title: Improvements in Plating Devices for Knitting Machines
Inventor: HIRNER EMIL ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-09-30
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 20,586. Hirner, E. A. Sept. 30. Knitting-machines.-The delivery apparatus of a plating-device is arranged so as to maintain the correct relation between the tensions of the two threads by imparting to either thread any slight increase of tension that may occur in the other, the object being to ensure correct plating at all times, and especially during the time the machine is reciprocating. The plating-yarn 48 passes between the bars 23, mounted on the upper arm of a tension lever 21, and fixed bars 26 and through a tension device 39 of known construction to eyes 32, 41, 42, 44, Figs II and IV. The body yarn 47 passes through the lower arm of the tension lever 21 and through eyes 41, 44 and is laid in the needles at a higher point than the yarn 48. The thread eye 44, Fig. V, is made with three notches, the central notch 50 being occupied by the plating- yarn 48. The yarn 47 occupies one of the side notches 51 and leaps from one to the other as the direction of motion of the thread-carrier is changed during reciprocation.

Title: An Improved Method of Reducing the Water Friction of Ships and Boats.
Inventor: SMITH THEOPHILUS OSBORN
IPC: B63B1/34
Filed: 1909-01-21
Granted: 1910-01-21
Abstract: 1447. Smith, T. O. Jan. 21. Hydroplane vessels.-The resistance to propulsion of ships and boats is reduced by forming the vessel's bottom and sides from the waterline, or from a point just above the water-line, with a series of inclined planes a<1>, having steps a<2> at their after ends substantially at right-angles to the planes, and extending entirely under the bottom of the vessel. By this construction, air is induced to flow down the angles of the steps and over the surface of the vessel, thus decreasing friction. The forward end of each inclined plane is fastened between the longitudinal stringer and the frame, and the after end is fastened to the outer surface of the frames, or the edges of the plates forming the inclined planes may be flanged and united to form the steps a<2>. The inclines may succeed one another along the whole of the vessel or only a part of it from the bow towards the stem.
