Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 23,559. Sarafian, H., and Costikyan, N. Oct. 25. Looms, pile forming and cutting in.-The pile wire a, which extends longitudinally in the direction of the warp and is moved backwards and forwards into and out of the shed, has an upturned end or hook a<2> rounded at the front and base to form a point and bent laterally or offset to one side. As the wires are moved into the shed by means of the bar b, the hooks a' momentarily displace the pile threads c<1>, and on the return stroke they engage them. The size of the loop varies according to the depth of the portion as, which is made greater than that of the body of the wire between the hook and the cutting-edge a'. The loops formed can be elongated by giving the bar b an increased motion towards the front of the loom. Each pile wire serves for one or more pile threads.

Title: Improvements in Starting-mechanism for Explosion Engines.
Inventor: STACKHOUSE EDWIN STANLEY
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 2277. Stackhouse, E. S. Feb. 1. Gas and like engines, starting. The handle-shaft a has a clutch d which engages the pin e on the engine-shaft b on compression of the spring c. The shaft a carries a loose sleeve which is fixed to the ratchet-wheel j<1> and engaged by pawls k on the face-plate l. The face-plate is fixed to some immovable part of the engine. A pin n engages slots j<2> on the sleeve j, these slots having one side j<3> inclined. On the engine-shaft rotating backwards, the sleeve j is held by the ratchet and pawls, and the pin n, engaging the inclined side j<3>, causes the handle to slide out of engagement with the engine-shaft, but not far enough to clear the sleeve j, and thus be able to participate in the backward motion of the engine-shaft.

Title: Improvements in Means for Opening and Closing Carriage Windows.
Inventor: SCHIEL ADOLF
Filed: 1908-04-10
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 7979. Schiel, A., and Schwank, F. April 10. Window opening and closing apparatus.-In carriage windows opened and closed by endless chain gearing, the operating-pinion is provided with a sliding spring-bolt locking-arrangement so that the sash is locked automatically in any position when the handle is released. A projecting stud 19 on the chain 1 engages a notch in a metal plate 20 vertically adjustable on the sash. The pinion 2 is operated by a handle 7 fixed to a gear-box 9, which revolves in a bearing-plate 10 and has on its front face two shoulders 11 and inclined faces 16, against which bear two projections 12 on the spindle 8. Mounted loosely on the spindle is a bolting-device 13 having two arms 14, which pass through holes in the plate 10 and engage notches on the face of the pinion. When the handle 7 is turned, the inclined faces 16 force the spindle carrying the bolt forwards against the action of a spring 8 and release the pinion, the projections 12 bearing against the shoulders 11 and operating the chain mechanism. In a modification, the back surface of the pinion itself is inclined and provided with shoulders so that, when the handle is turned, the spindle is forced back and the locking-device is released. In another modification shown in Fig. 13, the stud 19 bears against an inclined bearing surface 27 on the plate 20 so that the sash is pressed over the weather rail of the frame against the action of a spring 29. For heavy windows, the driving-wheel 2, Fig. 8, is provided with i.nside teeth 25 into which the pinion 26 gears. The pinions are provided with double teeth 5, between which the links of the chain, formed of flat-metal pieces placed on edge, can lodge.

Abstract: 4358. Isherwood, P. C. C. Feb. 22. Filters with horizontal filtering partitions or layers. -Apparatus, intended especially for the filtration of solutions which crystallize on reduction of the temperature or pressure under which they have dissolved, comprises a vessel a with a filtering-partition c and a removable cover b. In making the solution, a stirrer e is operated, and heat is supplied by means of a burner, by steam in a jacket or piping, or by steam passed through the charge. When the vessel has been turned on the trunnions h, the coarser part of the charge settles upon the partition c and the finer particles upon the coarser, the charge itself thus forming a part of the filtering- layer The cock d is then opened and filtration takes place under the pressure corresponding to the temperature of the solution. In the Provisional Specification the apparatus is described as applicable in the leaching of zinc-lead ores.

Inventor: SHELFORD FREDERIC
IPC: B61L5/00
Filed: 1909-04-20
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 9392. Shelford, F. April 20. Locking-bolts and the like. - To prevent reversal of the switches while a vehicle is passing through, a locking-box 8 is attached to the connecting-rod or to a rod attached to the switch tongues, and is placed between the switches or close to them so as to be covered by a passing vehicle. A weighted lever or handle 13 rotates between collars 14 secured by pins 16 on the connecting-rod 4. This lever drops into notches 11, one on each side of the box 8. Before reversing the switches, the pointsman has to raise the handle 13 from its engaging notch and throw it over on to the other side of the box, engaging with a similar notch when the switch is thrown over. To allow the switches to be moved by a vehicle trailing through them, the pins 16 may be of small diameter so as to be easily sheared; or the point rod may be telescopic, and the inner and outer parts connected by a small cotter or by a strong spring.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Clocks.
Inventor: HOLDEN FRANK
IPC: G04C3/027
Filed: 1909-06-26
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,873. Holden, F. June 26. Electric clocks.-Relates to clocks of the kind in which the oscillations of the pendulum are maintained by the interaction of a current in a coil with a magnetic field, the pendulum carrying either the magnet or the coil, and consists in using a thin coil which is energized as it passes through the narrow air-gap in the field of a magnet of the horseshoe type. The current passes through the coil at or near the mid-point of the oscillation. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two permanent magnets c are used, and the contact-breaker consists of a pivoted insulated finger d, mounted on the pendulum a, coacting with a pair of fixed insulated contactpins e, so placed that the finger will engage with one or the other according to the direction of swing. The contact-breaker is so arranged in the battery circuit that a current is thus sent through the coil b in alternate directions at each half-swing of the pendulum. Instead of a pair of contacts e, a single fixed contact may be used, so that only one impulse is given at each complete oscillation. In a modification, the invention is applied to a clock having a balance instead of a pendulum. An electromagnet may be employed in place of a permanent magnet.
