Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 18,364. Gowlland, W., Gowlland, E., and Gowlland, C. S. Aug. 14. Optical instruments.-In a vertically-adjustable table for supporting optical and other instruments, a rack f is fixed by screws &c. to the square post c and engages the thread e<2> of the revoluble boss e<1> of an adjusting hand-wheel, the rim e<3> of which is connected with the boss e<1> preferably by the depending spokes e<4> . The boss e<1> may be supported upon four balls g which work partly in the concave ends of adjustable screws h having locknuts h<2>. The bearingsj, which prevent the post c from turning, are moulded above the web a<2> and between the web a<3> and the ridge a' of the standard a, and may, when worn, be forced against the post by a blunt chisel. In making the bearings j, the post c and a parallel-sided rod, representing the rack f, are placed in position in the standard, and the molten metal, preferably Babbitt's metal, is poured in. A binding-screw k retains the post in adjusted position. The top of the table may be made revoluble by mounting it on a plate l arranged to rotate between the turned-over end c<1> and the shoulder c<2> of the post.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Trueing Apparatus for Trueing the Cutting Blocks of Cutting-out Presses.
Filed: 1907-09-25
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 21,300. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Sept. 25. Planing. - Consists of apparatus for trueing the cutting - blocks of cutting-out presses wherein an arm is moved to different positions over the work-table. The trueing tool is carried by and movable along the arm. The invention is shown as applied to a clicking - press of the kind described in Specification No. 22,023, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Cutting &c.], A slide - way 1, which is bolted to the underface of the radial arm B, carries the slider 2 upon which the tool 3 is mounted. As the arm is oscillated by the operator, the tool moves across the table and is also traversed along the slide-way by means of the screw 8, upon which the slider 2 is mounted and which is rotated by means of a ratchet-wheel 9, Fig. 3, adapted to be operated by a reversible pawl 10. The pawl 10 is mounted in a carrier 11, which is oscillated by the engagement of its arms or extensions with an abutment 19, which may consist of a bail-headed bolt screwed into a socket 20 attached to the table A<1>. The direction of the rotation of the traversing-screw is reversed by reversing the pawl 10. In order to prevent the press from being thrown into action while the trueing - apparatus is attached, the slide-way 1 is provided with an arm 24 engaging under the starting-handle F. The abutment 19 is mounted so as to yield to abnormal stresses caused by improper adjustment or by the pawl carrier being prevented from oscillating. For this purpose the stem of the socket 20 is held by means of a spring plunger 25 bearing against a flat 26 on the stem.

Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 27,988. Mercier, H., and Soc. GÚnÚrale des Automobiles Industriels. Dec. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-Comprises various arrangements on four or six wheeled motorvehicles of pneumatic springs or s b o c k - absorbers consisting of a piston and cylinder, to which compressed air is continuously supplied but from which the air can escape on reaching a certain pressure. Air is supplied through a pipe E, Fig. 1, and tends to force the cylinder upwards until the pressure is sufficient to lift a spring-loaded valve G. The valve continues to leak during an upward displacement of the piston, but its action may be stopped by making the position of the piston control the opening. If the supply is at constant pressure, this may be affected by regulating the tension of the spring. A further leak may be provided which is so located that it is covered by the piston when the piston is displaced by a shock, the valve G being then loaded so that it opens only at a pressure greater than that of equilibrium. In the application to six-wheeled motor-vehicles, shown in Fig. 3, the front and rear axles are each provided with one pair, and the middle axle with two pairs of springs. The springs K, J on the front axle and K<1>, J' on the middle axle are all supplied by one pump, while the springs I, I<1> on one end of the middle and rear axle are supplied by one pump, and the springs H<1>, H on the other ends by another pump. A similar arrangement is shown in connexion with fourwheeled vehicles.

Ventilators.-Relates to railway-carriage ventilators of the kind in which a conduit, having a constricted portion, is provided with lateral apertures for admitting pure air to the carriage, while cinders &c. and the rest of the air pass through the conduit. According to the present invention, a duct, having a flaring mouthpiece f, Fig. 5, leads to the inner space g, which is separated from an inner space h by a perforated partition j. At the end of the space g is fitted a chest k having a pointed end l so that cinders are deflected into the side passages m and make their escape at the rear end of the duct. Pure air passes through the perforated screen j into the air-chest k. In a modification, a pair of flaring mouths q, Fig. 10, are provided with perforated sides which enclose an airchest x. Cinder-laden air is deflected through the passage r. The air-chest is provided with a pair of pivoted valves w which automatically prevent through draught and suction. In a somewhat similar construction, the conduit leading to the space to be ventilated is surrounded by a heating or cooling medium. In another form, the air-chest x, Fig. 14, is divided by partitions 41, and the duct is provided with a grid valve 12 so that the ducts 8 may be made both downcast, or one downcast and the other upcast. In further modifications, the underside of the perforated partition 2 is provided with louver or baffle plates to prevent the impact of cinders &c. with the perforated part.
