Abstract: 16,423. Stewart, A. B. Aug. 12. Supports.-Relates to a support or stand fixed to a bicycle &c. frame and fitted with two or more legs which can be extended to support the cycle with the wheels on or off the ground. Fig. 1 shows the support extended. The trough C, clamped to the lower frame-tube of the cycle, carries a socket B connected by pins and slots to a tube A with an expanded lower end. The legs D are fixed to blocks E, Fig. 4, pivoted in the tube A and carrying projections which are forced downwards by a spring plug J so as to expand the legs. When not required to support the cycle, the legs are closed and fixed by a clip. The cycle is then raised, to allow the tube A to fall, by the pins sliding along the slots, when the tube can be swung up parallel with the lower frame tube, to which it can be secured by a clip.

Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 2637. Perks, W. G., and Fletcher, H. G. M. Feb. 7. Feeding sheets.-Relates to a photographic filmchanging arrangement fitted in a camera, also applicable for separating cards and the like. The pile of films M, Fig. 3, is pressed forward by a spiral spring N, the top of the pile being kept back by a disc A mounted on an axis and the bottom by a spring lever O. A notch is cut in the periphery of the disc, and part of it is there bent back forming a helical tongue which enters between the first and second film when the disc is rotated, thus setting free the film which springs forward into the position M<1>. The disc is rotated by pushing down a shutter G which acts upon a crank-pin D attached to a disc E on the axis of A and passes loosely through a hole in A. The rotation of the disc A pushes it back axially by the action of two inclined planes H, H<1>, as shown in Fig. 4. The shutter G is pushed down to the bottom of the camera and the separated film is held flat on the shutter by the levers O in the focal plane. After exposure the film is raised by pulling up the shutter G, and forced into the receptacle Z.

Granted: 1902-09-13
Abstract: 18,290. Wade, A. A. Sept. 13. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to detachable outer covers for pneumatic tyres, and to a liquid for closing punctures in pneumatic tyres. The lining of the outer cover, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, consists of a central fabric with the fibres I at rightangles to the edge, and a fabric on each side having the fibres B, C tangential to the edge in opposite directions so as to resist the tangential stresses due to the brake and traction. The inside tangential fabric C is folded to the outside of the radial fabric I, and the outside fabric B is folded inside to enclose the edges of the fabrics I, C. Each edge of the cover is folded back to form a pocket, in which lies a wire having overlapping ends A, A', and, at the part where the ends overlap, the edge is formed with two corresponding pockets E produced by the two layers of tangentially-arranged fibres. The wires are rusted, crimped, coated with cement, or roughened to prevent them from slipping in the pocket, or a strip of fabric may be cemented and stitched round the wire and to the cover. The outer pockets are provided with loops or tabs L and cords l to allow them to be easily detached In modifications, the wires may be replaced by flat ribbons of parallel threads, or folds of the edges of the cover ; there may be more than one layer of material with radially-arranged fibres or the tangentially-arranged fibres may be edge strips merely, instead of extending throughout the inner surface. In constructing the tyre, the fabric is stretched on a flat ring or mandrel fitted with retaining-wires and formed with side ribs which serve as gauges for folding the edges of the tyre. The liquid for closing punctures is placed on the inner surface of the air tube, and consists of 2 parts of glycerine, 2 parts of liquid glue, 1 part of Venetian red, and 1 part of wood fibre. In a modification, the mixture consists of a thick solution of silicate of soda, wood fibre, and French chalk, or any other powder which will not set up chemical action.
