Patent GB-190805124-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Tempering and Assembling Rings.
Inventor: BIRKBECK HENRY
Filed: 1908-03-06
Granted: 1909-03-08
Abstract: 5124. Birkbeck, H., [Hoffmann, E. G.]. March 6. Working by electricity.- A method of simul taneously tempering and assembling rings is shown applied to ball bearings, and stated to be applicable to the rings used on the ring rail of cotton spinning- frames. The outer raceway d is mounted between two electrodes f, g. Shields h protect the inner portions from the heat, and the outer portions from the cooling-medium, which is supplied continuously through an annular nozzle k. When the current is turned on, the raceway d is heated and expands, and the balls c and the inner raceway a are urged into position by means of a plunger l. The current is then turned off, and the cooling-medium quickly cools the outer raceway d. During this treatment, the outer portion of the raceway d is toughened, while the inner face, being kept cool, has its hardness unaffected. The same method may be used to take the ball bearing apart. The current may be applied in other ways.

Patent GB-190928898-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Printing Devices suitable for Mechanical Calculators.
Inventor: ELLIS HALCOLM
IPC: G06C11/00
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1910-03-29
Abstract: 28,898. Ellis, H. Dec. 28, 1908. Type - wheel actions.- Relates to the combined typewriter and recording adding-machine described in Specification 28,253/08, which is a development of the machine described in Specification 20,422/03. In this machine both departments print by means of the same platen, which is that of the usual typewriter carriage, and the adding-machine is of the multiple-bank, key-set, handle-operated type, in which the set keys act as stops for the released rack-bars, which are returned to position while in engagement with a totalizing-counter which is without visible numerals, the printing- segments are differentially-set by the rack-bars, and are subsequently moved bodily against a stationary platen to give the impression. (1) The printing-sector P<54>, Fig. 2, for each denomination is pivotally mounted upon the arm 52<P>, which is loose upon the main printing-shaft P', and is differentially set by a rod P<53> and a three-armed lever which moves with the rack-bar. The arm carrying the printing-sector is urged rearwards by a spring P<85> secured to an arm P<58> fast upon the main printing-shaft, but is restrained by its companion arm P<62>, which is also loose upon the main printing-shaft, carries a strong loop spring P<16> engaging a pin upon the arm 52P, and is controlled by trip-devices. The displacement of the three-armed lever trips the zero-control lever P<57>, by means of the pin R<15>, and therewith all such levers to the right. The main printing-shaft now carries the arms P<58> rearwards, extending the springs P<85>, and withdraws the main trip-arms 57P, whereupon the arms 52P, P<62> fly backward, the impression is effected, and the extension of the loop-spring due to arrest of the arms P<62> by a stop-bar causes a slight withdrawal of the typesectors after impression. (2) Each denomination has a type for a punctuation mark, carried by a pivoted arm P<59>, and the adjustment of the slide P<67>, Fig. 8, which has three projections for tripping the e latch pawls of the punctuation arms, determines the position of the decimal point and of the point at every third denomination, a further movement to the left of the knob 108, Fig. 7, to which the slide P<67> is connected' resulting also in the locking of the printing-sectors against impression by the obstruction of the companion arms P<62>, thereby acting as a non-printing slide. Alining for impression.-An alining-bar cooperates with a toothed segment on the threearmed lever which communicates the movement of the rack-bar to the type-sector. Line-spacing mechanism.-Mechanism is also described whereby the operation of the handle causes line-spacing of the paper to take place at will through a trip connexion.

Title: A Process for Electrically Sizing Paper.
Inventor: ARLEDTER FRITZ
IPC: D21H23/00
Filed: 1910-01-03
Granted: 1911-04-03
Abstract: 132. Arledter, F. Jan. 3. Sizing.-Paper is sized with the help of electric currents passed through the pulp while in the rag-engine or vat or the paper-making machine, so as to precipitate the sizing particles on the paper fibres. The sizing materials may be solutions of organic or inorganic colloids, such as aluminates or resinates, or salts of metals such as tin, zinc, copper, aluminium, or nickel. Metals and other oxidizable materials may be protected by covering the paper with a layer of gelatine, glue, or viscose. According to the Provisional Specification, an easily fusible amalgam may be used, adapted to melt to a thin film on the drying rollers and form an equivalent of resin.

Abstract: 1917. Bailey, S. R. Jan. 25. Bending.-Relates to apparatus for forming right - angled bends in wooden strips. A wooden strip x is clamped by means of plates i, j, straps k, and binding-screws n in recesses a<1>, b<1> of plates a, b pivoted together at e, f. The pivotal axis of the plate a, b lies outside the angle included by the strip x when bent, so that all the fibres are under compression. The plate b is provided with a sliding plate b<2>, one end of which is kept in contact with the adjacent end of the plate a by a spring h, and the adjacent ends of the plates a, band i, j are bevelled as shown in Fig. 3. The strip x is held against longitudinal motion by screws n and blocks p. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, two bends are made simultaneously, clamps a<0>, similar to a, b being pivoted to the end of a clamping-member b<0>.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Connecting to a Rope or Chain Articles to be Transported thereby.
IPC: B63G7/04
Filed: 1910-04-01
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 7933. HarlÚ et Cie. April 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Rope grips. - Apparatus for coupling articles to be transported to a travelling rope or chain provided with bosses, particularly adapted for laying and raising submarine mines, comprises a hinged eye 10, 13 large enough to allow the bosses 9 to pass through it, and a sliding bolt 19 for restricting the aperture of the eye. A sleeve 1 attached to the load is adapted to receive a recessed extension 12 of the eye, and is provided with a catch 7 for engaging the recess 15. When the catch is in engagement, as shown in Fig. 1, the eye is prevented from opening by a shoulder 17 on the hinged part 13 passing into a recess in the sleeve 1. The bolt 19 for securing the load to the cable is forced into operative position by a compression spring 21, and may be retained inoperative by a pin inserted through the holes 24, 25. When used in connexion with submarine mines, this pin may be of a substance slowly soluble in water, so that the coupling of the load is effected automatically after a certain time has elapsed.

Abstract: 17,653. Smith, M. H., and PhilaÙrian, Ltd. July 25. Propelling; steering. - Helicopters are provided with screws which are tilted by means of pilot screws or planes which act on the air as a fulcrum. Also screws, tilting or fixed, are arranged to give automatic stability. In one form, Fig. II, the car A is suspended from a cross-shaft B at the ends of which are normally vertical shafts C carrying upper and lower propellers D. A pilot screw E is carried by a universal joint F from the top of the shaft C, and can be tilted, as shown, to draw the shaft C from a vertical to an inclined position. Instead of the screw E, one of the propellers D may be inclined, the shaft C being in two parts. Where only two screws are required, they are carried by a thimble H mounted on a ball joint, Fig. VI, the screws being driven in opposite directions. Single screws may be used carried by a cradle L, Fig. VIII, turning about the centre of suspension B. To ensure automatic stability, four sets of screws are employed, Fig. X, with axes inclined towards a point above the centroid of the machine. One or four pilot screws could be used with this arrangement.
