[Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Phonographs.-Relates to a device for removing a worn needle from its holder and replacing it by a fresh one from a magazine, and to a recording- device for indicating when the last needle has been used. The needles 15 are stored in the receptacle 12 in a horizontal position parallel to the face of the sound-box. At the lower end of this receptacle, there is a wheel 7 capable of rotation by the pawl 21. On the lower end of the receptacle is an opening 6 through which a needle may be returned or passed out. Mounted in bearings 17 are two grippers 4, 5 operated by the button 10. The first 4 is rigidly connected to the button, while the other 5 is continually pressed against the first. A stop 18 limits the movement of the button 10. To remove a used needle, the button 10 is turned, placing the needle 22 through the opening 6 into the empty notch of the wheel 7. The gripper 5 is then checked in its motion, while the gripper 4 moves on, and the wheel 7 is rotated by a pawl 21 and a fresh needle is brought over the opening 6, and, on the return of the button 10, the fresh needle is held by the grippers 4, 5, and brought into its operating position. A pawl 24 prevents any backward movement of the wheel 7. By the single tooth 25 and the toothed wheel 26, which is mounted on the axle of the wheel 7 and has one filled-in tooth, an indication is given when all the needles have been used. A part 16 of the receptacle 12 is left uncovered for inspection.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating and Storing Products of Combustion Under Pressure.
Inventor: COLE THOMAS HENRY
Filed: 1905-11-10
Granted: 1906-12-10
Abstract: 23,127. Cole, T. H. Nov. 10. Gas or explosive-vapour engines. - A multicylinder four stroke-cycle engine which is used exclusively for generating products of combustion under pressure exhausts into a reservoir from which the products are drawn to drive a secondary motor, which, the Provisional Specification states, may be of any type, rotary, reciprocating, reversing, or non-reversing. Piston stro7ce, varying; products, expelling.-The big ends of the connecting-rods 3, of.;the-primary motor, work over eccentrics ,4<a>, 4<b>, which are mounted on the crank-pin 4. These excentrics are fixed to a wheel 6 which revolves about, and gears with, a fixed wheel 7 of one-half its diameter. This gearing causes the widest part of the eccentric sheave.to be on the same side of the crank-pin as the cylinder at every exhaust stroke, so that the piston. almost touches the cylinder end and thoroughly expels the product of combustion. Valves and valve-gear.-The fuel-inlet valve 12 may be automatic or cam-actuated. The exhaust takes place past two valves 15, 16 opening in opposite directions. The valve 15 is actuated by the cams 29, rod 28, and lever 26. The shaft 30 is driven by gearing 31, 32. The valve 16 loaded by the spring 25 is opened near the end of the exhaust stroke by the pressure of the combustion products. , Ignition.-An electric spark under the control of the commutator 33 is used to ignite the mixture. Governing; reservoirs.-The products are exhausted into the reservoir 14 and then pass through a gauze screen 36 and pipe 34 to the secondary motor 35. The pressure in the reservoir at starting should be nil and should never rise high enough to cause the motor speed to fall below a certain limit. This is ensured by a valve 37, attached by a lever 41, spring 40, lever 46, and governor 43 on the fly-wheel. When this valve opens, the-products escape by the pipe 38 to the silencer 39 or to the atmosphere. To prevent the reservoir pressure from rising too high and choking the exhaust, a safety-valve 49 is provided, which, when open, permits of the products escaping by the pipes 50,38. The movement of the valve spindle 54 may be utilized to control the fuel supply of the primary motor. In this case, the valve 49 is preferably of the piston type and its spindle actuates a system of adjustable levers one of which is connected to the fuel valve. The reservoir may be provided with a pressure gauge and a safety-valve.

Patent GB-190619632-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Hydraulic Machines and particularly to Distributing Gear therefor.
Inventor: OHNESORGE OTTO
Filed: 1906-09-03
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 19,632. Ohnesorge, O. Sept. 3. Oscillating-vane type.-The partition between the working chambers of an oscillating-vane type of pump or hydraulic motor is made to oscillate automatically, thereby performing the functions of a distributing-gear. An anchor-shaped part 11, Fig. 1, keyed to the central shaft, oscillates in an annular chamber and is provided with two suitably packed pistons 12. A centrally hinged partition 5 serves to place the working chamber on each side alternately in communication with the inlet port 6 and discharge port 7. At the end of each stroke, the partition 5 is moved to about its central position by stops 22 carried by the pistons ; the remaining part of its movement is effected by a spring-controlled trip lever arranged outside the casing, Fig. 3. A crank 15, secured to the oscillating shaft, is connected by a spring 17 to a lever 19 attached to the spindle of the partition 5. Stops 21 limit the movements of the lever 19 and partition 5. In a modification, the partition is not hinged centrally, the consequence being that the auxiliary gear described above is dispensed with as the hydraulic pressure at the end of each stroke is sufficient to throw the partition over. In this modification, the partition is arranged within a suitably packed casing fitted within the annular chamber. The partition may rotate about an axis at right-angles to the main shaft, instead of parallel thereto. A motor constructed in this manner is shown in Fig. 8, together with a driving-gear for a washing-machine. An inlet port 8 and a discharge port 9 are situated in the same vertical plane. The oscillating partition 5 is hinged horizontally. The vane 12 is made integral with a sleeve 11 which encloses a shaft 14, the former carrying feathers 36, 37 which engage an axial slot in the latter. By this means, the shaft 14, the lower end of which is connected to the washing- machine, is oscillated by the motor, but it can be moved vertically without affecting the motor. A ring 39 is fitted to the shaft so that it may be raised, and its height is fixed by a pawl 42 mounted on a loose collar 41 engaging recesses 43 in the shaft. A handle 34 is screwed into a sleeve 33 fixed to the sleeve 11, and is used for starting the motor by hand if the partition 5 happens to occupy the central position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes and Apparatus for Obtaining Glue and Gelatine from Glue-materials in the Form of Powder or Grits.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER OTTO
Filed: 1906-09-06
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 19,848. Schneider, O. Sept. 6. Gelatine; glue.- In a process for the extraction of glue or gelatine from bones, fleshings, hide-pieces, &c., a circular course determined by an endless pipe or the like, and at the same time a helical motion, is imparted to the raw materials, during which the particles perform whirling or eddying movements, whereby the glue materials are caused to pass along close to a heated surface. In a modification, the materials are alternately steamed and extracted. The materials with the necessary water are introduced through a man-hole into the cylindrical vessels 1, 2, Figs. 2 and 3, connected by semicircular pieces 5, 6, heating being effected by partially or completely steam-jacketing the former or by blowing steam into the liquid. Screws 26, 27, driven 'by suitable gearing, agitate the liquid, all the particles of the materials being brought into contact with the heated walls of the chamber and the glue or gelatine thoroughly extracted. The water used may be cold, or may be heated under pressure by steam. In a modification, shown in Figs. 5 and 6, removable perforated trays 30 ... 33 are detachably supported on brackets. The apparatus is nearly filled with cold water, the screws started, and the materials added ; when the contents are thoroughly mixed the water is run off, the materials settling evenly on the trays. Steam is then admitted and the materials, after sufficient steaming, are lixiviated with water, as described above. The lixiviate is run off, the materials settling again on the trays ; they may then be subjected to a further steaming and extraction. The apparatus first described may be used for the washing of the materials, provided it is lined with some acidresisting material, such as wood, aluminium, lead, or acid-proof stone.
