Patent GB-190820888-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Back Pedalling Brake Mechanism, particularly applicable to Velocipedes.
Inventor: SACHS ERNST
Filed: 1908-10-03
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 20,888. Sachs, E. Oct. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Brakes; driving-mechanism.-In a back-pedalliug brake and free-wheel driving-mechanism for velocipedes &c., a clutch or locking-arrangement is provided in connexion with the friction member which expands the split brake sleeve and controls the driving-clutch e. On back-pedalling, owing to the interaction of teeth g, h, a brake-operating member i is moved to the left and a brake sleeve q, s, coned at both ends, is expanded into contact with the hub shell. To ensure the axial movement of the member i, a clutch device for preventing its rotation is provided, and comprises a roller k carried by a spring-controlled ring n, the arrangement being such that a slight backward rotation of the brake-operating member brings the clutch into operation to lock the member to the anchored brake sleeve. The ring n may be dispensed with, the spring o being then carried round to form a ring provided with a guide for the roller. The roller may, moreover, be replaced by a spring-controlled pawl, and a cylindrical sleeve carried by the cone p or otherwise may be used instead of the separate brake sleeve. A pin or projection x prevents the roller k from leaving the ring n. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the use of the locking-arrangement in connexion with other expanding rings ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Self-filling Fountain Pens.
Inventor: WELTY WILLIAM ALBERT
IPC: B43K5/04
Filed: 1909-04-26
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 9893. Welty, W. A. April 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Reservoir pens.-The barrel of a self-filling fountain pen is formed in two parts b, c, screwed together, one of the parts b being slotted at i across a portion of both its smooth and screwed surfaces, and the ink is contained in a compressible reservoir k within the barrel. A curved pressure-bar h, having a finger-piece g projecting through the slot i, bears on the reservoir k. The slot i has its rear face inclined as shown at n and the back edge of the fingerpiece g is correspondingly cut away at m. The nib e is held in a holder d, a diminished portion of which is a sliding fit in the open end of the part c, and the end of which is further diminished to form a seat for the reservoir k. To fill the pen, the part c is partly unscrewed, the finger-piece g depressed to collapse the reservoir, and the part c then screwed up with the holder d dipped in ink. The finger-piece g and the pressure-bar h are thus forced upwards by the action of the inclined surfaces m, n, and the ink runs in to fill the expanded reservoir.

Patent GB-190925870-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Brakes and Whistle Signals for Railway and like Cars.
Inventor: HEIZER CLAUDE MONROE
IPC: B60T1/10
Filed: 1909-11-09
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 25,870. Heizer, C. M. Nov. 9. Audible signals. - Relates to whistle signals arranged in connexion with air-brakes for streetrailway cars, the air-pumps which communicate with the brake cylinders and are worked continuously from the vehicle axle being also arranged to communicate with another cylinder which controls the whistle signal through a pedal-operated device. Two pump cylinders 2, arranged under and formed integral with a brake cylinder 3, are provided with pistons 4 operated from the vehicle axle by eccentrics 8, and have openings 11 communicating with the brake cylinder through a flap valve 13, and other openings communicating with a U-shaped pipe 29. The brake cylinder 3 is in communication by pipes 34, 36 with the port 37, Figs. 7 and 8, of a driver's valve F; the pipe 29 communicates by pipes 52, 50 with a whistle-controlling cylinder 47, Fig. 4. This cylinder 47 is connected to the whistle H, Figs. 1 and 2, by a pipe 53, and with the port 42 of the driver's valve by a pipe 45, and is provided with a piston 54, which is normally kept in the position shown by a spring 58, so as to cut off communication between the pipes 50, 53 and establish a comuunication between the pipes 50, 45. The driver's valve is formed with a recess 40, Figs. 6 and 8, fitted with an exhaust port 43, and is governed by a slide 41 formed at one side with an extension 60 and operated through links 63 from a handle 62, which is provided with a pawl engaging three notches 65, Fig. 1, formed in a quadrant 66. Under normal conditions, the handle 62 is in the right-hand notch and the slide 41, occupies the position shown in Fig. 7, thus opening the pumps to atmosphere through the ports 37, 43, and 42, 43. To apply the brakes, the handle 62 is moved to the left-hand notch, whereupon both ports 37, 42 are covered by the slide 41 and the pumps compress air into the brake cylinder. When the requisite degree of brake pressure is obtained, the handle 62 is moved to the intermediate position, thus establishing communication between the pumps and atmosphere through the ports 42, 43 only, as shown in Fig. 8, while retaining the pressure in the brake cylinder. The brakes are released by returning the handle 62 to the right-hand notch. To sound the whistle, the piston 54, Fig. 4, is depressed by means of a pedal 56 so as to establish communication between the pipes 50, 53. The flow of air to the whistle is preferably increased by a temporary movement of the driver's valve to the brakes-applied position before the pedal 56 is depressed.

Abstract: 17,130. Shannon, O. M. July 19. Refuse - destroying stoves. - In a domestic refuse - destructor, the refuse is received on a grate having a substantially horizontal and a substantially vertical portion, so that a large surface of material is exposed to the heat of gaseous or other fuel burning below the grate. The grate is preferably circular with its vertical portion central, and the heat is supplied by an annular gas burner 9'. Separate outlets 29, 6 are provided for the flames &c. from the gas burner and the steam and gases from the refuse. so that combustion of the gas is maintained even if the grate is completely choked by the refuse. The horizontal part of the grate is made in two superposed portions, of which the upper 11 can be rotated about its axis. Both portions are formed with relatively large radial apertures 10, Fig. 2, and also with radial slots 11, 12 and 13, 14 so as, by rotation of the upper part, to allow variation of the amount of opening through the grate. The moisture from the refuse drains into a gutter 33 screened from the refuse by a perforated flange 37 and housed within a special extension of the casing. The gutter 33 is kept clean by plough-like projections 40 on the movable part of the grate. Drainage of moisture is assisted by ribs round the radial slots in the grate. The charging-opening is closed by a door 4, which, when open, serves to some extent as a hopper. A modification is described in which the vertical portion of the grate is at one side of the furnace.
