Title: Improvements in Thermostats.
Inventor: WELD GEORGE ALBERT
Filed: 1906-10-30
Granted: 1907-10-30
Abstract: 24,183. Weld, G. A. Oct. 30. Controlling automatically.-In that type of thermostat in which an expansible tubular member operates a valve controlling the passage of motive fluid actuating heating or ventilation-regulating means, a special resilient connexion is provided between the expansible member and the valve spindle, and also means for relieving the pressure of the motive fluid when cut off. The expansible tube 16, attached to the casing 1, encloses the valve spindle 15 provided with a nut 17 and a spring 18, the arrangement being'such that on expansion the tube 16, by bearing on the nut 17, positively opens the valve 14, but on contraction closes it through the spring 18, so preventing derangement upon excessive contraction. The valve seat is formed of an adjustable tube 6 screwed into the head of the casing 1 and provided with a passage 11 forthe motive fluid, which enters and leaves the casing through the ducts 4, 5 by way of the tube 6. To allow the pressure of the motive fluid in the connexions between the valve and the temperature regulator to be automatically released upon closure of the valve, a vent valve 27, depressed by a spring 28, is provided together with a member 31 placed between the two valves. When the desired temperature is reached and the valve 6 closes, the vent valve is simultaneously raised through the member 31 so as to release the compressed fluid in pipe 13 and its connexions. The above result may also be effected by providing a permanently open small vent in the connecting-pipe.

Abstract: 12,323. Clutsam, F. May 28. Pianofortes ; organs and like instruments.-The heads of the white keys in the central portions of the keyboard are made rather longer than usual to facilitate playing. This can be done in straight keyboards by arranging the front edges of the black keys on a curved line. In curved keyboards, the same result is obtained by making the curve of the white keys M<12>, M<13>, Fig. 10, flatter than that of the black keys M<14>, M<17>. The dotted rectangle m, Fig. 10, indicates the normal position of the heads of the white keys in the middle of a straight keyboard. The curves are determined in the manner indicated in the diagram, Fig. 2, in which the curve H<3> represents the sweep of the hands with the arms extended and H<1> the same with the arms retracted, the dotted lines indicating the circular approximations adopted in practice. The approximate curves are not however always circular ; thus in Fig. 10 the curves M<14>, M<18> are struck from a centre to the left of the middle line, and the curves M<17>, M<21> from a centre to the right of the same line. Elliptical or other contours may be adopted. The keys may slope slightly downwards from back to front, and the degree of slope is preferably a maximum in the middle of the keyboard. The keyboard may also be arched as well as curved, the middle being slightly higher than the ends, Keyboards for organs are constructed on the same principles, different manuals being curved in accordance with their distance from the performer, as indicated in connexion with Fig. 2. The keyboards may be arched and the keys sloped as above described, the amount of both arching and sloping being preferably greatest on the highest keyboard.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Coupling Together Bicycles.
Inventor: PANNEVIN JOANNES
Filed: 1907-07-31
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 17,534. Pannevin, J. July 31. Coupling, arrangements for.-Two bicycles are coupled together at the front by a braced frame A, which is attached to the head or the upper bar and to the lower tube of each bicycle so as to be at an inclination to the vertical ; at the rear, they are joined by a single bar, or by a braced frame B. The top and bottom bars of the front frame and the top bar of the rear frame may be clamped to the cycle frames in the central planes of the machines by means of Jugs a which allow the machines to be moved towards each other along the bars; to allow of this being done, the lower bar of the rear frame, which is mounted between the axles of the rear wheels, is adapted to swing upwards about the top bar so as to clear the wheels. The lugs a are each provided with a locking-gap and horizontal holes with keyways ; the bars 2, 3, 4 pass through these holes and have keys by means of which they can be secured in position. In a modification, the bars are fitted with loose sleeves having locking-projections on the ends ; when the sleeves have been inserted through the holes in the lugs they are turned so that the projections engage each side face of the lugs, the bars being thus locked in position. The lower bar 5 of the frame B is provided at each end with a recessed hanging socket f, Fig. 11, which is adapted to pass over and rest on the upper part of a collar e<1> which may form the end of the step. The socket f and the collar e<1> are locked together by a screw g. The bar is carried from the hanging socket f by means of a plug-like extension h. In another form of the rear fitting, the collar e<1> is carried on a stem which can be screwed into the step and secured by a nut. With bicycles having wheel bases of different length, the extension h may be clamped to the back-stay or chain-stay. When it is desired to move the machines closer together, the screws g are removed and the back coupling frame B is swung upwardly about the tube 4 as a pivot until the tube 5 is clear of the wheels of the bicycles. The bicycles can then be slid along the bars 2, 3, 4. The braced frames may be rendered adjustable by pivoting the pairs of bars 7, 8 at x, x and securing them to the top and bottom bars by screwed clamps. The steering- pillars of the machines may be connected by means of a link p and arms m. The edges of the eyes of the links are rounded, and helical springs are placed on each joint pin between the faces of the link, and boss of the lever and the head of the pin, respectively.
