Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 8937. Luft, K., and L÷bl, K. April 15. Thrashing-machines.-In thrashing-machines having the beaters attached to a disk and working in conjunction with a fixed plate, the plate is made adjustable and the beaters act as vanes to produce a current of air to carry away the dust. The plate 2, which is provided with ribs, is hinged at the bottom and held away from the beaters by springs 6. It is brought nearer to the beaters by a treadle 12 connected to a lever 9 on a rotary beam 8, which carries two arms 10 passing through slots in the casing 4. The beaters 14 are mounted alternately in and near to apertures in the disk 1, those mounted in the apertures being at right-angles to the disk. Wire brushes are also mounted on the disk. The chaff falls through a grating in the floor 18, over which the straw passes, and the dust passes out by a window, an horizontal sieve below the window retaining the straw.

Abstract: 23,717. Rossel, F. C. Oct. 17, 1908, [Convention date]. Propelling and steering by screw propellers; driving-arrangements for screw propellers.-Comprises improvements in propeller mechanism of the type in which a differential gear is combined with a brake device, and consists in combining the differential gear with bevel-gear, fitting it with ball bearings and enclosing it in a casing. The motor shaft a carries the bevel-wheel b, by which the bevel-wheel c on the box d of the differential gear is driven. The box d turns on ball bearings in the casing g, which is constructed to enclose the whole of the gearing. Brakes m on the shafts i may be used to vary the relative speeds of the propellers j, and thus facilitate steering. When the brakes are left free, the angular speeds of the propellers are identical. A modification is described, in which the propeller shafts in aerial machines are disposed in three directions to produce longitudinal and transverse equilibrium.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Apparatus for Operating Water-tight Doors.
Inventor: BRUNTON WILLIAM PATON
IPC: B63B19/00
Filed: 1909-02-10
Granted: 1909-02-10
Abstract: 26,254. Brunton, W. P. June 18, 1896, [date given under Section 15 of the Act, being that of 13,444/96, Class 113, Ships &c., Div. I.]. Operating sliding doors. -In apparatus for operating water-tight doors, a tubular ram T is provided, carrying a slide valve K moving over ports M, N, P, by which the passage of water under pressure to the cylinders F<1>, F<2> is controlled. To facilitate the ready movement of the ram, it is fitted with a pilot valve U, so arranged that when the handle is moved, the pressure is relieved. The door is attached to the cylinders F<1>, F<1> by the brackets H : the upward movement of the ram opens communication between the main supply pipe Z and the cylinders, and water flows through the hollow piston rods B<2> and perforations E, moving the door to its closed position. When water enters the compart-- ment, the float X rises and lifts the valves V, admitting water under pressure beneath the ram T, lifting it, and closing the door. To open the door, the handle is raised, depressing the pilot valve, and moving the ram downwards, admitting water under pressure to the opposite end of the cylinder, thus opening the door. The doors may also be operated from the deck.
Patent GB-190928158-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Balance-wheels and Pendulums.
Inventor: ECAUBERT FREDERIC
IPC: G04B17/24
Filed: 1909-12-02
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 28,158. Ecaubert, F. Dec. 2. Balances; pendulums.-A device for compensating for the effect upon the rate of a timepiece produced by variations in the density of the air comprises members attached to the balance or pendulum so shaped and arranged that they are deflected towards the axis of oscillation to a greater or less extent, according to the atmospheric resistance encountered. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a balance which is also compensated in the usual way for changes in temperature. Each resilient compound strip C, D carries a crescent-shaped block G preferably made of heavy material, the inner concave surfaces 2 being concentric with the axis of oscillation. As the balance vibrates, the air-resistance encountered by the convex surfaces 3 tends to deflect the blocks G, together with the resilient strips, towards the axis B, whereby compensation is automatically obtained for the retarding effect of an increase in the density of the atmosphere. In the case of a pendulum, Fig. 3, strips J, preferably of resilient material are suitably attached at their adjacent ends K to the underside of the bob I, their outer free ends normally resting at some distance from the bob. As the density of the air increases or diminishes, the strips J are correspondingly deflected, thereby altering the effective length of the pendulum and compensating for the changes in the retarding effect of the air.

Abstract: 28,658. Furnival, H., Furnival, S., and Furnival, r. S. Dec. 8. Delivery apparatus.- In a drop-sheet delivery, the sheet - supporting tapes N are stretched between pulleys n, n<1> on shafts D, E supporced by guide - rails A, B above and below the delivery board C respectively, and pass over guide pulleys n<2>, n<3>, n<4>. Side chains F, passing over driving- pulleys G oscillated by a rack H<1> through gearing, keep the tapes N tight, and give an horizontal reciprocating movement to the shafts U, E. On the outward movement of the shaft D, the pulleys n, n<1> do not rotate, and the sheet is run off the impression cylinder on to the tapes. On the return movement, a loose pinion on the shaft D, engaging with a fixed rack M and acting through a freewheel clutch device, rotates the shaft D so that the uppermost stretch of the tapes remains stationary, and the sheet S is dropped on to the feed-board C. Small side chains, following the same path as the tapes N, may couple the shafts D, E.
