Title: Improved Tap.
Inventor: COLE REUBEN
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 17,395. Cole, R., and Cole, F. July 30. Lift valves; seats. -Relates to screwdown lift valves in which a seating- washer is confined and secured within a chamber so that it is prevented from spreading laterally, and in which the valve has a conical forward end. The conical head b is secured to the spindle a by a screw c which passes through a collar b<3> into a groove in the spindle. The collar b<3> in the closed position of the valve enters the aperture b<1> in the valve casing and thereby prevents the washer e from spreading into this aperture. The water-way e' of the washer is of less diameter than the inlet nipple g, so that the water pressure forces the washer towards the valve b, thereby ensuring a more effective closure.

Abstract: 20,870. Krenzler, H., [trading as Krenzler, G.]. Oct. 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Braiding - machines. - Machines with two concentric intercommunicating series of races are provided with an arrangement of switches and controlling-gear such that the plait-crossing shown in Fig. 6 is obtainable from pattern-cards with a minimum of perforation. The centre disks are grouped by the centre switches to form annular segments P', P<2>, &c, each containing a pair of radial switches c. c<1> which are mounted to face each other on the two guide - plates. Each segment P', P<2>, &c., comprises four disks a, a', b, b<1> and a central circumferentially - disposed and positivelyoperated double switch v. Adjacent segments are connected by radial double switches u. The switches v normally oscillate from the position shown to the other extreme position. The switches u, c, c<1> normally occupy a mid-position, but can be moved aside with an anti-clockwise movement about their pivots. The switches belonging to a segment, v, c, c<1>, are connected by bell-crank arms and links so that they move together under the control of jacquard. The switches u are moved independently by another jacquard. The arrangement of the parts described above allows of the lace pattern being drafted in a simple manner, each perforation in the card corresponding to a particular crossing.

Both the shutter d and the plate e turn on ball bearings. Perforations in the bottom a<2> of the box admit cold air, which escapes by a flue a<3> from. the top.
Patent GB-190727724-A (GB)
Title: Explosion Turbine
Inventor: ESNAULT-PELTERIE ROBERT
Filed: 1907-12-16
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 27,724. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. Dec. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The explosive mixture is admitted to the chamber A at both ends b<1>, b<2>, the admission being controlled by exceedingly light valves d', d<2>, such as described in Specification No. 26.610, A.D. 1907, which are operated by the difference of pressure in the inlets b<1>, b<2> and the chamber A. A charge exploded by the igniter e<1> causes a compression wave to pass along the chamber and compress the explosive mixture at the other end, causing it also to explode. This in turn compresses a fresh charge, which has been drawn in through the valve d<1> because of the fall in pressure behind the wave, and the cycle of operations is recommenced. The chamber is of such dimensions that an anti-node is formed opposite the outlet f, and consequently a stream of gas at a constant pressure is delivered to the turbine h. In a modification, a light piston situated at about the middle of the chamber, moves with the compression wave and opens alternately the ends of the chamber to the outlet.
