Patent GB-190721817-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Tools for Cutting Screw Threads.
Inventor: ERICH LUDWIG
Filed: 1907-10-02
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 21,817. Erich, L. Oct. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Screwing; taps.-A tool for cutting internal or external screw-threads combines in itself the function of a primary and secondary cutter, the teeth being so arranged that the primary cutters G produce deeper but narrower grooves than the secondary cutters F, but such grooves are shallower from about the middle of the tool onward. The secondary cutters may be one or more teeth behind the primary cutters, and are arranged in one, two, or more pairs according to the diameter of the tool. For flat screwthreads, the primary cutters have pointed or rounded teeth.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Escapement Regulating Mechanism for Pendulum Clocks.
Inventor: BUEHLER JOSEF
Filed: 1907-10-17
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 22,944. B³hler, J. Oct. 17. Escapements; crutches; clock framework.-In pendulum clocks the anchor is automatically adjusted to the correct position relatively to the scape-wheel. Fig. 2 shows one method, in which the anchor-arbor a is mounted in a small frame d rotatable about the bushes e which support the arbor g of the scape-wheel. The pendulum is hung from this frame, and its rear plate is prolonged to carry a weight k. If the clock is tilted, the frame d rotates correspondingly into the vertical position for giving a proper escapement. In the device shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the head o of the crutch is frictionally connected to the anchor-arbor l. If the anchor is accidentally displaced through an angle, on rocking 'the pendulum a pin r on the arbor l, which normally oscillates between stops u in the fixed plate t, impinges on one of the stops, and restores the anchor to its correct position. In modifications, all of which have the frictionallycoupled crutch, instead of the pin r the combination of a slotted arm on the arbor with a fixed pin on the frame, or of a two-armed lever on the arbor with two fixed pins, may be used. Or two fixed pins may be placed in the path of the anchor. In a further modification, a plate mounted on the scape-wheel arbor limits the oscillations of the anchor.

Title: An Improved "Fire-extinguisher" Garden Engine, and the like.
Inventor: BLAKE HENRY THOMAS
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 24,637. Blake, H. T. Nov. 7. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-A fire - extinguisher, garden-engine, &c., of the kind in which water or a chemical solution is ejected by means of compressed air, consists of a vessel A, Fig. 2, having a filling-inlet a<2> provided with a screw-cap a<3>, which is fitted with an ordinary cycle-tyre valve B through which air is pumped into the upper part of the vessel until a sufficient pressure is obtained. On the turning of a cock C, the liquid is discharged through a pipe c'. The inlet a<2> is arranged at the side of the vessel at a height to determine the proportion of air space to liquid space necessary to ensure the effective discharge of all the liquid by means of the maximum pressure that can be obtained by the use of an ordinary cycle inflator. A handle D is provided. In the larger form of the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the discharge pipe c<1> serves as a strengthening-stay, and is secured by collars to the concave bottom a<1> of the vessel A. During discharge, the liquid passes through a perforation a<4> into a trough a<5> and thence into the pipe c<1>. According to the Provisional Specification, a safetyvalve and a pressure gauge may be employed.

Patent GB-190808642-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Balancing Devices for Pumps and Blowers.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1908-04-18
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 8642. Bloxam, A. G., [Ehrhardt & Sehmer Ges.]. April 18. Centrifugal pumps.- A multi-stage centrifugal pump or blower is constructed so that the impellers produce a definite resultant axial thrust, and a balancing-chamber to counterbalance the thrust is provided between two stages, with a leakage out to the lower stage which varies with the movement of the shaft and impellers under the variation of the axial thrust. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, an axial thrust is caused by constructing the rings 1, 2 of different diameters. The leakage into the balance chamber 12 from the high-pressure chamber 9 is through the sleeve 11, and is fairly constant. The leakage out of the balance chamber into the low-pressure chamber 8 is through the gap between the rings 7, 10, and varies with the movement of the shaft. The initial want of balance may be caused in other ways, for example by an unsymmetrical arrangement of impellers, or by using impellers of differing forwarding-capacity.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps
Inventor: CARPENTER CHARLES AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1908-04-28
Granted: 1909-04-28
Abstract: 9222. Carpenter, C. A., and Banks, O. T. April 28. Arc lamps.-A lamp with two or more pairs of carbons, to be burnt in succession, has separate clock-work mechanisms for the different pairs mounted in a row and controlled by a common bar adapted to engage or release all the mechanisms simultaneously. The guide-frames for the carbonholders are readily detachable, and the carbons not in use are protected from fumes by speciallyarranged shutters. The sliding-weighted carbonholders b, Fig. 1, are connected in pairs by cords or wires to drums f, each of which is geared to a starwheel i. The star-wheels are engaged by detents g<1> on the bar g, which is carried by a weighted lever j mounted on a support k. A link l adjustably connects the lever to a screw h<2> on the core of a differential solenoid h. A second screw below the core is connected by links m and a lever n to a pivoted guide-frame c for one set of carbons. On one of the wheels geared to each drum is a pin, which, when the carbons are nearly consumed, engages an arm and moves a detent to release the next pair of carbons, or if there are no more carbons, to actuate a cut-out for the lamp. The holes q, Fig. 5, in the base-plate for the second and successive pairs of carbons are closed below by pivoted shutters s, which are connected to levers t above the plate. On these levers are bent plates u, which are met by rollers v on the holders of the nearly consumed carbons so as to swing the shutters aside. The guide-frames c, c' are shown in section in Fig. 5. Each frame has at its upper end a pin or pivot which is placed in a slot in a lug c', Fig. 1, on the top plate of the frame, the slot being closed by a blade spring. Thelower end of the fixed guide-frame is secured to the lamp frame by screws or clips.

Title: New or Improved Stop Motion for Machines for Washing or Scouring Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: BAILEY JAMES
Filed: 1908-06-27
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 13,626. Bailey, J. June 27. Washing.-Washing or scouring machines are provided with stop - motions actuated from the draught-board. The draught-board f, Figs. 1 and 3, is pivoted on a spindle f<2> carrying a lever i, the free end of which normally rests beneath a latch k, Figs. 3 and 4, locked by a notch k<1> to a fixed bracket n. The latch is pivoted to a lever l fixed to the shaft m carrying the belt-fork e. When an obstruction causes the draught-board to rise, the lever i is raised and releases the latch k, whereupon the shaft m is turned by the action of a weighted lever o, and the belt-fork e shifts the belt to the loose pulley. A spring p is preferably used to assist the action of the weighted lever o. The machine may be stopped by moving to the left the hand-rod r, Fig. 1, which has an inclined surface r<1> taking under the latch k. The machine is restarted by depressing a band-lever s, which rotates the shaft m and thus moves the latch into its locking position, and shifts the belt to the fast pulley.
