Title: Improvements in Measuring Apparatus for Boot-makers.
Inventor: CHURCH WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-07-27
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 15,954. Church, W. July 27. [Patent of Addition to No. 9954, A.D. 1908.] Measuring.-The instep and balljoint carriages of the size - stick described in Specification No. 9954, A.D. 1908, are, according to the present invention, moved by cam-groove mechanism instead of by hand, while the length of the foot is registered automatically on an indicator, instead of being taken by direct measurement. The instep carriage D is slidably mounted in a groove G in the stick, and carries a depending piece which engages a cam groove P in a pivoted lever K. The ball-joint carriage E, which is partly revoluble for rights and lefts, is also slid ably mounted in the groove G, and carries a depending piece which engages a second cam groove Q in the lever K. These two grooves are designed so that, when the ball-joint carriage moves into measuring position, the instep carriage will also be moved into correct measuring position, at which time, also, a pointer N, on the lever K will register the correct length of the foot on a scale O. The carriages D, E are fitted with measuring-tapes Y, 2 connected respectively to carriages U, V slidably mounted in the groove G. These carriages also engage cam grooves W, X in the lever K, and are thus moved with, yet at a different speed from, the carriages D, E to pay the measuring-tapes in or out as required.

Title: Improvements relating to Gas Burners.
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1909-02-27
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 4895. Soc. Clerc - Bidault et Cie. Sept. 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Actuating valves.-Relates to an automatic valve-actuating device for obtaining intermittent lighting, say for advertising purposes, by means of gas burners. A magnetic ballvalve b controlling the gas supply is intermittently drawn from its seating and allowed to fall back by means of a magnet e. A pilot-flame is supplied with gas through an orifice c regulated by a pin-valve n. The magnet e is carried by a lever g pivoted at f and weighted at h, the outer end of the lever being supported by a rod i connected to a diaphragm j. When the magnet swings into contact with the conduit p, the ball b is lifted and gas passes to the burner. Some gas also passes through a pipe l and raises the diaphragm j, causing the magnet to rock away from the conduit p and release the ball. The weights h then deflate the diaphragm, the expelled gas assisting to supply the pilot-flame. The duration of ignition and extinction is regulated by varying the orifice of the pipe l by means of a pin-valve w, and the weights h are adjusted to suit the gas pressure.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 18,278. Woodhead, L. W. Feb. 1, 1911. Current motors. -Vanes A are mounted revolubly in a frame C carried by a central column D. The vanes are given a feathering motion of one half-revolution for each revolution of the frame C by bevelgearing and shafts J from a bevelwheel M on a central ruddershaft N. The wheel M rotates with the rudder, so that the feathering is automatically adjusted as the wind changes. The speed of the motor is prevented from becoming excessive by reducing the efficiency of the feathering when the speed exceeds a certain limit. The wheel M is revolubly mounted in the frame C, Fig. 3, and is slidably mounted upon a part of the shaft N formed with a number of helical surfaces V. A pump driven by the motor forces oil into a cavity T in the lower part of the column below a piston S secured to the lower end of the shaft N. When the speed of the motor increases beyond a certain limit, the oil under pressure lifts the shaft N and causes the bevel-wheel M to rotate relatively to the shaft N.
