Title: Improvements in Lathe-saddle Traversing & Surfacing Motions.
Inventor: MAXWELL FRANCIS

Abstract: 14,099. Maxwell, F. June 20. Lathes.-Relates to an interlocking-device for lathes having surfacing, traversing, and s c r e wcutting motions to prevent more than one gear from being put in action at once. Asliding worm m drives a worm-wheel w geared d to pinions f, r carried by a pivoted plate Q, so that either pinion may be brought into gear with pinion n<1> to obtain a. surfacing motion, or with pinion n<2> to obtain a traversing motion, the plate being locked in position by a pin which engages in holes p<1>, p<2>. To prevent the saddle from being connected to the lead-screw while either the surfacing or traversing train is in gear, a handle H operating the nut-box has a projection M bearing against the plate, which prevents it from being operated unless the plate is in one of the off' positions, when the projection can enter one of the slots o<1>, o<2>.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Mixing Measuring and Carburetting Gaseous Bodies.
Inventor: BOUVIER ADOLPHE
Filed: 1906-09-21
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 21,022. Bouvier, A., and Collon, E. Sept. 30, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Carburetting; mixing gases. - Gas and air or richly carburetted air and pure air are delivered at constant adjustable pressures to a mixing-chamber, means being provided for regulating the proportions of the mixture. The gas and air are delivered by pumps 2, 3 to gas-holders 19, 26, whence they pass by pipes 20, 27 to the chamber 21, and thence through a series of cones 54 provided with wiregauze diaphragms 55 or a cluster of capillary tubes to the burners 56. The stroke of the pump 3 can be varied by means of a variable lever, a double eccentric, or, as shown, a crank plate on which the pin 8 can be shifted and fixed by screws 9, 10. The length of the connecting-rod 11 is made adjustable by means of right and left handed screws working in a sleeve 12. As the amounts of air and gas supplied by the pumps 2, 3 are rather greater than the amount consumed, the gas-holders when at their greatest height open the inlet valves of the pumps, so that these run idle. A lug 28 on the gas holder acts on a counterweighted rocking lever 30, the other end of which presses down a rod 22, which is held down by a catch 37 until released by a second lug 33 and the lever 30. In the air-pump, the rod 32 is a prolongation of the valve spindle, but the inlet valve of the gas pump being worked by a cam on the main driving-shaft through a rod 41, Fig. 4, pressing on the valve stem by means of the screw 43, the rod 32 actuates a wedge 45 passing through a slot in the rod 41 and holding down the screw 43. The gases enter the chamber 21 through sliding valves 48, 49, Fig. 6, the stems of which are attached to a crosshead 52, one being adjustable by means of the nut 53. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which reservoirs 57, 58 of constant volume are substituted for the gas-holders and the inlet valves are opened by wedges as shown in Fig. 4, the wedges being operated by the pressure of the gas in the reservoirs acting on pistons or diaphragms or other pressure apparatus. The reservoirs 57, 58 may be provided with pressure gauges which may actuate electric bells on the pressure becoming too great or too small. The reservoirs are provided with siphon drain pipes 64, 65, terminating in cups 66, 67, provided with overflows, and of such length that they are sealed by the liquid therein, unless the pressure becomes excessive, when the air escapes into the atmosphere and the gas through the bell 68 to the reservoir of uncompressed gas. The proportions of air and gas can also be modified without moving the valves 48, 49 in the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 by loading the gas-holder 26 and in the form shown in Fig. 2 by lengthening the drain pipe 64, the springs controlling the wedges which hold the pump valves open being correspondingly adjusted.

Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 24,314. Bauduin, J. G. H. Nov. 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents. Act, 1901]. Lighting and extinguishing gas. - Relates to apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas lamps from a distance of the type which comprises three chambers, such asj, k, v, containing an oil or other non-freezable liquid forming a liquid seal valve with an adjustable outlet tube l, the lower chambers j, k communicating with the upper chamber v by depending tubes f, g and with each other, at their upper part, by a small tube or by a free space, as shown. To prevent particles of oil from being carried off by the gas, a tube v is arranged within the tube l and terminates beneath a cap s in a chamber y, from which the particles of oil drain back by a small tube x. To ensure the certain action of the apparatus, an additional depending tube is provided within the chamber j, and a wall w is arranged around the orifice of the tube g and wholly or onlyin part around the orifice of the tube f. Suppose. the lamps are alight and the normal gas pressure is r mm. If the pressure is raised to r+10 mm. and maintained at this value for, say, two minutes. oil flows up from the chambers j, k to the upper chamber v ; if then the pressure is lowered to r-5 mm., the oil flows back, but, on account of the wall u and the additional tube z, the greater part flows back to the chamber j, whereby the outlet tube l is sealed and the lamps are extinguished. For lighting, the pressure requires to be raised again to r mm , when the excess oil in the chamber j is forced back through the tubes and the upper chamber v to the outer chamber k, and the tube l is unsealed. When once the lamps are alight or extinguished, small variations of pressure are ineffective.
