Title: Improvements in or relating to Steering and Motor Controlling Mechanism for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: SCHMIDT CHARLES
Filed: 1907-04-15
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 8705. Schmidt, C. April 15. Motor road vehicles.-The throttle and ignition control levers are mounted on the steering-wheel in such a way that the relation between them remains unchanged, however much either may be operated independently. Fig. 1 is a section through the steering- pillar. The tubular steering-column 2 carries at its upper end a hand-wheel 10 and at its lower end a worm 4 mounted between ball thrust bearings and gearing with a worm sector 5. Within the tube 2 is mounted a throttle-controlling tube 11 screw-threaded at its upper end to engage a nut 13, which is connected to a casing 28 carried by the throttle control lever 36. To the lower end of the tube 11 is secured a collar 19 connected to a sleeve 20 by means of pins which slide in slots in the steering-tube. The sleeve 20 is connected to a second sleeve having an annular groove to receive a loosely-fitting collar 23, which is pivotally connected to rock arms 26 on the throttle-controlling shaft 25. The spark-advancing lever 34 is mounted in the casing 28 on a shaft 30, which carries a crank engaging by a pin-and-slot connexion with a rod 14 passing down through the tube 11 and connected by a loose collar to arms 18 on the rock-abaft 17. The handle 34 carries a serrated disk to prevent accidental motion, and the handle 30 is formed of spring material, and is pressed into engagement with a rack 37.

Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 9631. Sullender, W. D. April 25. Spark-extinguishers.-In apparatus of the type wherein water is sprayed in the smoke stack of a steam generator, a small portion only of the water drawn from the supply tank by the pump is delivered to the smoke stack, the greater portion being returned through an overflow pipe to the tank, or forced into the boiler. In Fig. 1, which shows the invention applied to a traction engine, the pump 11, operated from the engine cross-head 9, draws water through the pipe 12 from the tank 13, and delivers it partly into the pipe 17 and partly into the valved overflow pipe 15. The pipe 17 communicates with the valved boiler feed-pipe 23 and the valved sprinkler pipe 33, the latter of which feeds the sprinkling-nozzle 34. Water may also be fed to the boiler through the pipe 23 from the injector 24, which is supplied with steam through the pipe 25 and with water through the pipe 28.

Title: Improvements in Broaching Machines particularly for the Manufacture of Parts of Yale and similar Locks.
Inventor: HERBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1908-03-09
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 5263. Herbert, A., and Hildreth, W. A. March 9. Slotting.-A broaching-machine particularly for use in the manufacture of parts of Yale and similar locks comprises a cutter head C carried by a reciprocating ram D. The cutter C has axial slots in which are arranged the successive broaches H<2>, H<3>, &c., the rows of broaches also acting successively to enlarge the slot from 1 to 35 when a blank occurs which allows the work to be removed. The head C is rotated at each stroke, to bring the successive rows of cutters into operation, by means of a fixed roller U<1> engaging an inclined slot T<3> in an extension of a rotatable spindle T carried by the ram and operating a ratchet-wheel V<2>. When the last broach has operated, a spring catch X acting on the inclined end of the pawl V pushes the pawl back until a detent X<2> engages a recess V<3> and prevents the further operation of the ratchet feed, and to prevent accidental rotation, a spring detent C<3> engages recesses C<2> in the cutter head. For reciprocating the work-holder B, a trip rod J carries adjustable stops K', K<2>, which engage a lever L and rotate a shaft M, having a toothed sector N engaging a toothed stop O, which is withdrawn before the sector actuates another sector R, fixed to a link which actuates the work-holder B. A guide-plate X' on the top of the work-holder has a slot X<5> for guiding and locating the broaches with respect to the work, this guide-plate being moved by an eccentric pin X<6> when new work is inserted.

Title: An Improved Brush Making Machine.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1908-07-29
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 16,124. Lake, W. E., [Florence Manufacturing Co.]. July 29. Drilling.-Brush-making machines in which the drilling and tufting operations are performed simultaneously upon two brush - backs held in a carrier moved to and from the stationary drilling and tufting tools have special work-holding devices. Fig. 8 shows the carrier 3 to which the brushbacks are fixed between stops 9, 14 and wedges 13 operated by pivoted levers 18. In addition to the to-and-fro motion, the carrier receives transverse horizontal motions, while the brushbacks C, D are being tufted and drilled respectively, through cams 151, 141 on the shaft 74, Fig. 6, and a periodic rotary motion which brings the new pair of brush-backs A, B into position. Spring-operated stops 31 successively engage a hole in the plate 5 and prevent the carrier from rotating during the operations. The shaft 74 is enclosed by a casing 84, which carries the brush-back carrier by means of a frame 162 supported on grooved runways 831, and is oscillated by means of a lever 93, the throw being regulated by means of a screwed rod 88. The shaft is rotated by means of a pawl 173 and ratchetwheel 168 and is fixed after each movement by means of a pivoted lever 158 which engages teeth on a disk 157. To throw the stop 31 out of engagement and release the carrier to allow it to be rotated, a telescopic spring plunger 46, Fig. 1, is provided, which is operated through a floating lever, the end of which is engaged by an arm 63 on the shaft 74. Simultaneously, the arm 111 engages the lever 116 and releases a clutch on the driving-wheel 43, which operates the cog-wheel 33 through the universal joints 40, 37 and a slotted telescopic rod 38, 39, and allows it to make one revolution, thus rotating the carrier through one quarter of a revolution. At the same time the shaft 74 is rotated to bring the cams 151, 141 into their initial position by means of an oscillating slotted lever 81, which is pivoted on the fixed casing 85 and operated by a stud on the oscillating casing 84 engaging the arm 108.
