Patent GB-191030326-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1910-12-30
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 30,326. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 30. Sewing-machines; lock-stitching by shuttles.- Relates to machines of the type described in Specification 7793/92, and consists in improvements in the construction of the bobbin-case retainer described in Specification 9933/90. The bobbin-case of the shuttle, or the shuttle itself, is held in place by a pivoted arm 4. The boss of the arm 4 is provided with a bevelled cam-face 19 adapted to engage an oppositely bevelled cam 18 on the head 17 of a shaft 14 which passes through a split sleeve 11 in an arm 8 and has an axial key-way 13 in which a key 12 engages. The shaft 14 is provided with a handle and a lifting spring which, in the position shown, exerts a wedging action between the cam faces and locks the arm 4. When the shaft 14 is depressed, a spring 20 automatically opens the arm 4 and causes a projection 21 on the boss to pass over the head 17, where it is clamped by the supporting-spring between the head and the lug supporting the arm 4. To obviate premature locking between the face 18 and a surface, which may otherwise be formed at an angle to the face 19, by wear on the corner c, the key-way 13 is made wider towards its lower end to allow a limited angular movement of the shaft 14 within the sleeve U.

Title: Improvements in Drinking Fountains.
Inventor: GREENE SAMUEL WARD
IPC: E03B9/20
Filed: 1911-03-09
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 5950. Greene, S. W. March 9. Fountains.-A drinking-fountain in which a water jet is used without a cup is operated by the opening and closing of the mouth of the user. The water-receptacle 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is fixed above the delivery tube 2, which is adjustably mounted on the vertical bracket 3. The delivery nozzle 14 has two openings, and is controlled by the valve 17, which is normally held against the seat by the spring 19. The valve is opened by the lever 21, rod 23, and lever 25, which is pivoted at 28 to the end of the delivery tube 2, and is provided with an adjustable chin-rest 29 with scale 31. The sliding rod 36 is provided with a cup 37, so that it may be pressed down in front of the nozzle to deflect the water into the basin 38, which discharges it through pipe 40. The receptacle 1 is filled from the tank 46 by pulling the cord 49, thus delivering water through the pipe 47 into the strainer 45. An overflow pipe 50, Fig. 1, leads to a basin 38, while the level of the water in 1 is indicated by a float 53, connected to a weight 55 moving over a scale 11. A series of pointed pins 56 are secured around the nozzle 14 to prevent the user from applying his lips to the nozzle. When the fountain is in operation, the user rests his chin on the button 29, and on the mouth being opened, the lever 25 is moved, thus opening the valve 17 and delivering a jet of water. The mouth is then closed for swallowing, and the valve 17 is automatically closed. To discharge unused water from the cup 1, the rod 36 is depressed, comes into contact with the rod 42, and thus opens the valve 17, the water issuing into the cup 37 and thence into the basin 38.

Abstract: 24,402. Brecknell, W. H. Oct. 25. Reservoir pens.-In a self-filling reservoir pen of the kind in which an outer barrel is slidable on a piston fixed to the end of the ink receptacle for filling the pen, a valve 6 is provided having a stem 14 loosely fitting a hole 5 in a spigot filling - piece 2. The stem is connected to the slidable barrel 9 in such a way that when the barrel is operated to a sufficient extent to fill the pen, the valve is forced by positive means on to its seat to prevent any outflow of ink. To effect this, the valve stem may be screwed into a disk 15 which is attached by telescoping parts.16, 17, 19 to the outer end of the barrel 9. The valve may be slightly opened preparatory to the filling operation by slightly turning the outer barrel to unscrew the stem. A chain connexion between the outer barrel and the disk 15 may replace the telescoping parts. A pin 22 passes through the stem of the valve to prevent its detachment from the disk 15. The ink receptacle 1 is preferably made of transparent material such as celluloid or glass.
