Inventor: DIBSDALL REUBEN
Filed: 1907-02-06
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 3005. Dibsdall, R. Feb. 6. Brakes.-Relates to brakes of the kind which are applied automatically to haulage wagons and railway and other vehicles when the pull of the tractor is relaxed, and can be held out of action when the vehicle is backed. The draw-bar e slides through openings d in the draw-frame a, the pull on the draw-bar being communicated to the frame a through a spring e.

Patent GB-190707633-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Loop Wheel Knitting Machines
Inventor: ROBINSON ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-03-30
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 7633. Robinson, A. March 30. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to the production on a loop-wheel machine of a continuous length of fabric with lace or open-work on one or two sides or all round. This is accomplished by causing certain needles 2 to miss stitches, while the bars of thread so produced are drawn together by causing tuck stitches to be made on adjacent needles. The needles 2 are made with longer beards than the remaining needles 3. Miss-stitches are made by lifting up the looper-wheel 5 at intervals, either by a band-lever 9 or automatically by means of a cam 15, in order that the knitting thread may not be placed under the beards of the needles 2. Tuck stitches are simultaneously made on needles 3 between pairs of needles 2 by mechanism similar to that described in Specification No. 19,926, A.D. 1906, and comprising a slidable tuck presser 17 mounted above the ordinary presser and moved in and out at predetermined intervals by band or automatically. The movement of the presser 17 may be controlled by a lever 19 carrying a projection 21 running on the cam 15. The projection 21 is lifted out of action at times determined by the position of a ratchet 26, which is operated by a cam 28 and put into and out of action when a predetermined length of fabric has been made. In order that lace-work may be made first on one side of the tube and then on the other, so that the tube can subsequently be divided up into separate stocking legs without waste, the cam 15 may be rotated on the cam cylinder and is provided for this purpose with notches 35, which are engaged by a detent 36 to hold the cam in the required positions.

Granted: 1910-07-05
Abstract: 8190. Lavarack, A. Whitley-, and Greenwood, H. April 5. Railways for recreation; water-chutes. - In a railway for recreation, there is provided in the path of the vehicle a vertical descent down which the vehicle is allowed to drop. The car is hauled up a spiral track B by a chain B<2> provided with lugs B<3>, and is prevented from running backwards by a sprag C<3> which engages a rack B<4> arranged by the side of the track. The car consists of a boat C<2> resting on a wheeled underframe C which runs on the track. At the top of the spiral, the car enters a cage D, which is lifted into position to receive the car by a balance weight D<1>. The lifting-ropes D<2> carry bunches of lights D4 which travel in opposite directions to the cage and give the passengers the impression that they are travelling at high speed. When the car is safely inside, the cage is released and drops vertically until the bottom of it comes into contact with the head of a ram E<2>, by means of which the descent is arrested. The cylinder E<1>, in which the ram works, is connected with a cylinder E containing oil and a balance weight E* resting on the liquid. A valve G, arranged in the connecting-pipe, is operated by the ram. Just before the end of the descent, the boat is tipped off its undercarriage on to a chute F, which forms part of a water chute or switchback. The upper part of the chute is darkened, and contains mirrors K, which simulate a collision, and also switches L of electric lamps. After the boat has left the cage, this tilts the undercarriage into another cage H, which lowers it to a track J on which it runs into position to receive a fresh boat.
