Title: A New or Improved Device for Absorbing or Minimizing the Shocks Incidental to Wire Ropes, Cables and the like of Winding, Hoisting and like Machines.
Inventor: SELBY GEORGE MAY
Filed: 1907-08-28
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 19,349. Selby, G. M., and Selby, C. H. Aug. 28. Shocks, preventing.-An arrangement for absorbing the shocks incidental to the wire ropes, cables, &c. of winding, hoisting, and like machines, particularly for mine and pit cages, consists essentially of one or more springs located in a cylinder containing oil or like compressible or incompressible fluid, the springs being arranged to have freedom of movement in one direction but being controlled in its return by the action of the liquid. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder a contains the spring b attached at one end to the piston c, which has a rod d connected to the eye e and is provided with large openings f to facilitate the upward flow of the liquid by the opening of the valve g. When the shock has been fully taken by the spring, and it commences to return to its normal position, the valve g closes and the liquid is compelled to return by way of small apertures j, thus arresting the shock load. In a modification, Fig. 2, the number of springs c<6> is increased and a piston c is fitted at both ends.
Patent GB-190726312-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Locks.
Inventor: ZOON JACOBUS LIPS BERNARDUS
Filed: 1907-11-28
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 26,312. Lips, J. Nov. 28. Locks, key and permutation.-In a lock for sates, strong-rooms, &c., the lessee's keyhole is closed by a lever worked from the official's bolt, and the lessee's bolt is blocked by permutation disks which have to be arranged with their gatings in line to allow the partial retraction of the bolt, it being necessary to disarrange the disks again before the bolt can be completely withdrawn. The pins 13, Figs. 4 and 10, on the lessee's bolt 10, that co-operate with the permutation disks 20 are not rigid with the bolt but are adapted to move transversely therein, and can be pressed down so that their tops lie flush with the bolt, springs 13<1> maintaining the pins in the upward position. The gatings 26 of the permutation disks 20 are not long enough to allow the bolt to be completely withdrawn, but grooves 27 are provided leading out of the gatings and of wedge formation, so that on turning the disks when the bolt bas been half withdrawn,' the pins enter the slots 27 and are pressed down flush with the surface of the bolt ; the bolt can then be completely withdrawn by the key. The disks 20 are manipulated by knobs and letter disks 39 on spindles 40 carrying driving- disks 25, each of which has a pin 24 engaging one of a series of holes 23 in its corresponding disk 20, the engagement being held by springs 33. A plate 30, Figs. 7 and 10, secured to the bolt 10 by screws 32, partly covers the driving-disks 25 except in one position of the bolt, i.e. when it is withdrawn about one-third of its distance. In this position, the driving-disks can be disengaged from the disks 20, and the pins 24 caused to engage others of the holes 23 so as to change the combination. A loose pin inserted through the back of the casing keeps the bolt in position while the combination is being changed. In a modification, a sliding plate 47, Fig. 16, independent of the bolt 10, normally prevents any disengagement of the driving and permutation disks. But when the bolt is fully shot and the permutation disks have been set to enable the projections 57 on the plate 47 to enter the gatings, the plate can be slid by a key engaging the shoulder 53 thereon against the action of the spring 54 to bring the slots 48 over the disks, in which position the combination can be changed. The official's bolt 3 is operable by a key or by turning the knob 42 on the spindle 8, a mark on the knob indicating whether the bolt is shot or not. The bell-crank 19, connected to the official's bolt, normally covers the keyhole of the lessee's bolt. When the door is open, the disks 20 can be set without the combination being known, by means of loose pins, which are inserted into holes 46, Fig. 10, in the casing and, when the lessee's bolt is shot, are used to ascertain the position of the gatings 26. The lessee's bolt can be shot by the key and locked without the necessity of dispersing the disks 20, as these have already been disarranged in opening.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrical Systems or Arrangements for Driving Machinery Subject to Variable Loads.
Filed: 1907-12-07
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 27,073. Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges. Dec. 8, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Regulating. - In machinery subject to variable loads, such as a rolling- mill driven by a motor the speed of which is controlled by varying resistance in accordance with the load, the said resistance is regulated by means of a centrifugal governor acting together with a relay and an auxiliary resistance. Referring to Fig. 2, the rheostat is placed in the rotor circuit of the induction motor m and controlled by the spring f and the relay r; the relay is connected to the mains through the transformer u, and hence the current through it, and therefore the torque exerted by it, and the value of the resistance w vary with the main motor current ; that is, an increase of the load, causing a rise in the main current, results in a decrease of speed. The same result is attained when the speed reaches a certain prescribed value by the operation of the governor z rotating with the motor, which increases the resistance of the shunt w<1>, w<2>, and hence causes more current to flow through the relay r. Various modifications are described, in which the governor, instead of working through variable resistances, operates the rheostat w direct in conjunction with the relay. As shown in Fig. 6, the governor may be replaced by a small direct-current generator g supplying current to the solenoid l, which is therefore more or less excited according to the speed. The motor m may be replaced by a direct-current motor, the speed of which is controlled by rheostats either in the main or field circuit.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 8892. Bresztovszky, G. April 23. Targets.-Relates to hinged drop targets which automatically fall on being struck by a shot. Fig. 2 shows a single target hinged to a base 2 and retained in the erect position against a compressed spring 8 by an eye 14 engaging a lug 16 on the target. A weighted spring 17 secured to the target engages with a notch 18 in the lug, and the vibration set up when a shot strikes the target releases this spring, which strikes against an extension 15 of the eye 14 and disengages the eye from the lug, thereby allowing the compressed spring 8 to throw down the target. Fig. 9 shows a modification applicable for use either as a single or a double target. In the case of a double target, an eye similar to the eye 14 is secured to the second target, and passes through a hole in the target 3 to engage the lug 16. In another modification, a bar takes the place of the second target, and is provided with an eye engaging with the lug on the target 3.
