Title: Improvements in and relating to the Prevention or Reduction of Dust on Motor Cars and like Road Vehicles.
Inventor: CUTHBERT JAMES MACMILLAN
Filed: 1908-09-25
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 20,135. Cuthbert, J. M. Sept. 25. Motor road vehicles.-To prevent the raising of dust, a series of inclined depending screens are used to direct the air current caused by the motion of the vehicle laterally and upwards towards the rear, so that the rapid motion of a large volume of air in close proximity to the road surface is avoided. Fig. 1 shows a screen or apron extending the whole width of the vehicle and fitted in front of the radiator. The upper portion a slopes backwards and has side wings g, which prevent access of air between the mud-guards and the front wheels of the vehicle. The lower portion b comprises an inclined screen cut away in the rear at b<2> to clear the road wheels. The lower edge b<1> may be close to the road surface, or it may be provided with a hinged spring shutter adapted to be displaced by obstacles on the road. The screen a is provided with an adjustable opening d controlled by a sliding door or equivalent mechanism for supplying air to the radiator and the carburettor, or alternately may be formed with a central boxed-in portion e (shown in dotted lines) surrounding the radiator. In the latter case a grooved plate f is fitted over the radiator to direct the air to the sides of the car. Grooved flanges c are formed on the screens to assist in directing the air currents clear of the vehicle. A second sloping plate or screen h, Fig. 2, V-shaped in cross-section, is mounted behind the front wheels and is preferably secured to the footboards of the vehicle by flanges h<2>. A third screen j, Fig. 4, is mounted on the back axle by means of bearings k, and has grooves or channels l formed on its surface by turning up the edges of the plate. This plate scoops up the air in front of the rear wheels and allows it to pass between the upper surface of the screen and the car body. The bottom of the car body and the open space for the differential-gear box may be lined with asbestos or like material to prevent the rush of cold air causing inconvenience to the passengers. Fig. 5 shows a modified form of screen m which has bearings ml for mounting on the rear axle and has inclined plates n, o extending laterally in front of the road wheels. The lower edges of the screens m, j may be provided with hinged shutters if necessary. Fig. 9 shows in plan an arrangement for preventing the splashing of dust or mud by the wheels. Two arms v are mounted on the swivelling axle and carry a bar y, from which is suspended a flexible curtain t of chain mail, manila rope, lengths of chain, or like material. Spring plates s which yield to obstructions on the road are mounted at each end of the bar. In an alternative arrangement, the curtain and spring plates are secured to a bracket mounted on the wheel axle or axle nut. A similar arrangement of hanging curtains may be fitted entirely round the car body or at intervals as required.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stops for Talking Machines.
Inventor: SMITH RICHARD BARTHOLOMEW
Filed: 1908-10-05
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 20,985. Smith, R. B. Oct. 5. Brakes. - In a gramophone, the horn, at the end of its travel, is arranged to operate, by means of a falling weight, one or both of two brakes, one being applied to the turntahle and the other to the governor disk, thus stopping the instrument. Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 an elevation, and Fig. 3 a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2 showing the gravity - controlled trip operated by the movable horn. A plate 12 with slots 13 is adjustably secured to the casing by screws 15, and has bearings 16, 16<a> which support a stub shaft 17 having a screw surface 53. Extending from the shaft 17 is an arm 18 with a screwed rod 20 and weight 22, and another arm 23 secured by a screw 19 transversely with the arm 18 to carry pivoted rods 24, 25 having friction pivots 27. The pivoted rods 24, 25 are so arranged that when the reproduction is finished, the moving horn strikes them and trips the vertically arranged weight 22, thus giving an axial movement to the shaft 17. This shaft presses a spring 28 screwed at 29 to the brake lever 30, which is pivoted at 34, and thus brings the brake shoe 31 against the turntable and stops the rotation. An auxiliary brake is simultaneously operated by means of a rod 36 connected from the weight trip rod 18 to a rocking shaft 39, which carries a cam 42 adapted to rock another shaft 44, 45 and thereby press a metal ring against the governor disk 49 and stop the motor. A thumb-screw 43 presses upon the shaft 44, 45 and independently controls the auxiliary brake.

A turntable 2, Figs. 1 and 3, is rotated step by step by a pawl 13 on a slide 11 reciprocated by a lever 8, a link 10, and a crank-pin 6 on a disk 5 fast on the shaft 3. A spring-pressed pawl 15 locks the turntable after each step of rotation and is disengaged, to allow rotation, by a lever 18 which is rdcke by a cam face on the disk 5. The cartridges are placed by hand on pins 1 on the turntable. At the first stop, an inspection punch 23 throws out a clutch 36 and stops the machine in the manner described in Specification 9459/08, if the case is not properly placed or is so defective that the machine cannot deal with it. During the subsequent rotation, the case passes beneath a fixed plate 40, Figs. 5 and 6, and a pin 37 rides over a fixed projection 39 and pushes the primer a out into a groove 41. At the second stop, a slide 43 is operated by a cam punch 48, and the primer is ejected by a hook 47 down a shoot 51. At the third stop, a hollow punch 52, Fig. 7, descends over the case, ejects the cap chamber b and removes it by means of spring catches 54. At the fourth stop, slides 56, Figs. 3 and 8, are pushed towards the case by a cam rod 63, acting between rollers 62, and jaws 55, at the ends of the slides 56, are brought together by inclined slots 59, and springs 64, so as to grip the tube e tightly, while a punch 67 removes the head c by means of hooks 68. At the fifth stop, an inspection punch 70 rocks a lever 71, and stops the machine, if the head has not been properly removed. At the sixth stop, a punch 76, Fig. 11, removes the base wad d, by means of spring catches 78. At the last stop, a punch 79 removes the tube e from the pin 1, by means of spring catches 80. The punch 79, requiring a much longer travel than the others, is mounted in guides on the block 20, and on the frame of the machine, and is operated by a lever 82, Fig. 1, pivoted at 83 to the block 20, and at 84 by a slot connexion to the frame of the machine. The parts removed by the several punches are carried upwards through the punches, and may be led out by flexible tubes. The machine may be stopped at any time by a handle 72.
