Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Converting Reciprocating into Rotary Motion.
Inventor: BARNES JAMES CHARLES
Filed: 1907-12-20
Granted: 1908-12-21
Abstract: 28,083. Barnes, J. C., and Wall, E. G. Dec. 20. Lathes; drilling.-Relates to means for converting reciprocating into highspeed rotary motion, for use in driving small rapid-acting lathes and drills, the motion being transmitted from the driven spindle, if desired, by a flexible shaft. Between a bracket d, and the base-plate of a frame comprising upper and lower plates a, b connected by distance-pillars c, is mounted a spindle e, to which is keyed &c. a large gear wheel f. The gear-wheel f is driven by means of a manually-operated cord h attached to and wound round a loose spring-held drum g, the drive being transmitted by a free-wheel clutch comprising rollers s carried by a ring n attached to the gear-wheel and acting against a ring m fitted within a channel k in the drum g. The gear-wheel f transmits the drive through speedincreasing intermediate pinions t, v, fixed to a spindle u with an eccentric adjustment w in the upper plate a, to a pinion x upon the driven spindle z, the last-mentioned pinion acting through a ratchet or other free-wheel clutch 3, so as to allow the driven spindle to overrun the gearing. The spindle z is mounted in ball bearings 2 in a casing 14 formed with a flange 5 attached to the upper plate by bolts 6 with lock-nuts and spring washers &c. 7 to allow of slight tilting. The primary gear-wheel and intermediate pinions may be loosely mounted upon fixed spindles.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: RIDLEY JACOB JAMES
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 12,375. Ridley, J. J. June 9. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-A two-strokecycle engine having a differential piston draws a charge of air into the crank chamber through a mechanically-actuated valve 20, and, on the downstroke of the piston,.forces it into the cylinder through a side passage 10 and port 8 to expel the products of combustion through the exhaust valve 19. When working as a gas engine, simultaneouslywith the drawing in of the air charge into the crank chamber, a charge of gas is drawn in below the annular face of the piston and afterwards forced into the cylinder through ports 11, 12 and a side passage, not shown. In large gas engines the pistons may be cooled by discharging through them the air from the crank chamber before admitting it to the cylinders. When working with liquid fuel, air is drawn in by the annular face of the piston and forced through a vaporizing or carburetting device (not shown), being finally admitted to the cylinder through an inlet valve in the cylinder head and a conical passage to direct it away from the exhaust port. Packing-rings 2, held in position by a junk ring 3, are provided in the reduced portion of the cylinder, as shown in Fig. 1.

The soft carbon may surround the cored electrode or may form a strip 10, Fig. 6, along the side of a carbon of circular or elliptical section. The second electrode may have flattened sides as shown, to steady the arc. The electrode-holders slide on rods 5 and are connected together by a rod 11 on one and an elongated eye on the other.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Wiring for Houses and the like.
Inventor: HIGHFIELD JOHN SOMERVILLE
Filed: 1908-11-14
Granted: 1909-11-15
Abstract: 24,533. Highfield, J. S. Nov. 14. [Cognate Application No. 27,145, A.D. 1908, dated December 14.] Couplings; distributing.-A system of wiring for houses and the like is carried out by using a flat conductor such as that shown in Fig. 1, and consisting of two conductors a, b insulated with rubber and separated by paper strips c ; the whole is covered with a braiding d, but, instead of this method of insulation, the wires may be embedded in a strip of vulcanized bitumen or the like which may be covered over with braiding; or the straps may be built up from other material such as oilcloth or treated canvas. The strips are secured to walls by nails of the type shown in Fig. 4, and the flat conductor is taken round bends by cutting away the material between the two wires a, b and waving the wire b on the sharper bend as shown in Fig. 6. To allow the waved conductor to be introduced into the conduit bend, one of the conductor channels is made wider than the other by placing the partition g out of centre. To join wires together, sleeve couplings are used as shown in Fig. 10, consisting of two split sleeves o joined together by a metal strap p. The conductors are introduced into the sleeves, which are then corrugated, as shown, so as to grip the conductors. Instead of this, projections may be punched from the sleeve ; or its edge may be serrated and turned in to engage the conductor. The corrugation process is conveniently carried out by using a hand screw-press, the jaws of which are corrugated. The conduit bends and tees may be made either of fibre or the like or of metal.

Dec. 24 Couplings. - A coupling for rods, cables, &c. comprises a metal socket, into which the ends of the rod &c. pass, which is recessed to receive spring washers which are pressed upon the rods or cables by means of plugs or caps. The coupling may be used for electric cables, in which case insulated plugs &c. are employed. The adjoining ends of the rod, cable, &c. are enveloped by the tubular socket A, which is screwed either internally, as shown in Fig. 1, or externally, as in Fig. 4. In recesses in the sockets and abutting against a shoulder a<3>, which in the simple form is part of the socket itself but may be a bush a<4>, Fig. 2, screwed into position within the socket A, are cup - shaped stamped washers D, Fig. 7, These washers are forced to grip the rod &c. by the plugs b<1>, which are screwed against them ; the washers may have flanges formed upon their edges, and on the circumference they may have a number of slits to render them more flexible; they may be prevented from rotation by projections e<6> which fit into the bush a<4>. In Fig. 8, the construction is shown for connecting mechanically and electrically two concentric cables, and the invention may be applied also to the connecting of two cables at right-angles, and of a terminal to an electric conductor. The ends of the rod or cable may be covered by an insulating screwed bush d<4>. Solder or like substance may be poured through the hole a<2>, Fig. 1, into the coupling.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Traction Systems.
IPC: B60L3/04
Filed: 1909-02-06
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 2933. Fox, B. D., and Railless Electric Traction Co. Feb. 6. Switching-arrangements for ensuring connexion of vehicle frame to negative collector.- Relates to electric traction systems, particularly to those of the type in which railless vehicles are supplied with power from two or more overhead conductors, one of which is at or about earth potential. The invention comprises electrically-controlled apparatus for ensuring that the collector engaging the. earthed conductor shall always be connected to the frame of the vehicle, although the polarity of the supply conductors may change. As shown in Fig. 1, a polarized relay is used to operate a hooter calling the attention of the attendant when the polarity of the conductors changes. Power is supplied to the motors A from positive and negative conductors C, C' through trolly contacts E, E' and circuit-breakers D'. The conductor C is connected to contacts F, F' and the conductor C<1> to the contacts F<2>, F<3> of a reversing-switch. The blades F<4> of the switch are connected to stationary electro - magnets G', between which is pivoted a magnet G<4> energized from the battery H and carrying a contact device J to connect the hooter with the battery H. The conductor C' is connected to the frame through the pivot of the reversing- switch, a fuse M<1>, and a lead M. If the polarity of the conductors should change, the magnet G<4> is oscillated to the left and the hooter sounded, whereupon the attendant operates the reversing-switch, and the magnet G<4> swings back. A second hooter L<1>, for indicating a breakdown in the insulation of the car, is joined in shunt with the fuse M', and, if this should blow out, the current passes through resistances R and a lead N. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the fixed magnets G<1> are connected to the battery H, and the movable magnets G<4> operate a rod P connected to a switch S so as to make contact at S<2> or S<3> according to which contact is connected to the negative conductor.
