Patent GB-190800621-A (GB)
Title: Safety Box Intended to Serve as a Safe or as a Protecting Cover for a Safe
Inventor: BRANLY EDOUARD
Filed: 1908-01-10
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 621. Branly, E., and Laurent, H. March 4, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1901]. Alarms, burglar and like.-Tbe walls of a safe or safe cover are made of a number of flat thin metal tubes a joined at their edges and entering at their open ends into manifolds b, the walls being connected by angle-pieces and tubes d. A door of much greater capacity is similarly constructed and communicates when closed with the walls by tubes g, k, the junction being effected by slidably mounting the end of the tube g, and by arranging a spring m to press the end piece f of the tube g against the end piece h of the tube k. The door and walls communicate with a manometer arranged to ring an electric alarm on the reduction or increase of pressure by burglary or fire, by a tube n in which is inserted a triangular steel band as shown in Fig. 8 which ruptures the tube and allows air to escape when attempt is made to crush it to isolate the safe. To prevent the door from being opened suddenly so as to stop the end of the tube k, a guard chain x fixed to the walls is attached to the door by a split ring. The walls may also be made of metal plates o pinched together at intervals by riveting and the bottom in the case of a safe cover may be movable and may be pierced for the insertion of feet on which the safe may rest, the bottom and rest of the cover communicating with one another by a junction similar to that used for door. To obtain the requisite pressure in the walls they may be connected with a compressed air reservoir, the required pressure always being obtained when the manometer attached to the reservoir indicates the same predetermined fall, so that if the junction with the door or bottom is maliciously stopped this will indicate by the ringing of the high pressure alarm for the normal fall at the reservoir.

A ledge l fixed below the screen retains any chaff which falls until it is swept by the brush g. By removing the screen h and enclosing the underpart of the chaff cutter as at m the cut chaff may be conveyed as cut into a cyclone or suitable apparatus by the fan i.

Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 9033. Fynn, V. A. April 25. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Field magnets; sparking, preventing.- For the purpose of producing commutating-fields, one or m o r e commutating- coils without magnetic cores are disposed within one or more of the interpolar spaces of continuous-current, single-phase, or polyphase machines, which are provided with neutralizing-windings for neutralizing the ampere-turns of the armature. The axes of the commutating-coils are preferably displaced by about 180/m degrees with respect to the axes of the main field poles, n representing the number of poles of the machine. The Figure shows a two-pole machine having main field poles P1, P2, coreless commutating-coils C1, C2, and a neutralizing-winding N. The commutating-coils may embrace less then the axial length of the armature, and may be attached to the yoke or to the main poles by a metal frame, which is preferably non-magnetic. In a continuous -current machine, the commutating-coils are usually connected in series with the armature, while with alternating-current machines, any known device may be used to produce a commutating-field of the required phase.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pincer-lasting or like Machines.
IPC: A43D21/16
Filed: 1909-07-12
Granted: 1910-08-12
Abstract: 15,904. Bates, A., Silvester, R. H., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 12, 1909. Lasting. - A pincerlasting or like machine is provided with means for stopping, during the operation of the machine, the action of either or both, (1) the pincer - pleating motion mechanism, or (2) the pincer closing motion, with or without stopping the overdraw movement. The tack-supplying mechanism is unaffected. The invention is described in its application to a machine of the type described in Specification 14,453/97, in which a cam-member R controls all three operations. The cammember is loosely mounted on a boss S, and clutched thereto by a spring pawl T on the cam-member engaging a notch in the boss. The pawl is adapted to be uncoupled from the boss when desired. By dividing the cam - member into separate parts, each carrying a cam opera,ting one of the afore-mentioned mechanisms and fitting any desired cam with such a clutch, any of the operations mentioned may be effected. The pawl T carries a projection T<3>, which is lifted by a wedge-shaped member Q<2> and a lever Q to unclutch the cam as the machine shaft is rotating. The cam is held by a second projection Q<3> on the lever Q engaging the projection T<3> in the pawl T. The lever Q is operated, when desired, by a treadle that actuates a cam-ended lever N<1> to move a plunger O coupled through a spring to the lever Q. An alternative construction for rendering pincers inoperative comprises an arrangement in which the roll on the pincer thrust-bar that is operated from the overdraw cam is carried upon a loose sleeve on the thrust-rod. The sleeve is latched to the rod normally, but an arm coupled to the latch member and connected by a rod with the foot-pedal is adapted to free the sleeve when desired, and a tight spring keeps the roll in engagement with the cam.

Fig. 2 shows the plates 17 secured by a ring 16 to the seat member 7, which is held in place by a yoke 8. The yoke may be screwed into the casing and also into a cap closing the opening through which the seat is inserted. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the plates 17 and seat member 7 are held in position by a cage 31 pressed down by a bonnet 38 and provided with a recess 39 in which worn plates are placed as they are removed from the seat. The recess may be dispensed with, and the bonnet made adjustable. The cage may be provided with a telescopic adjustable part.
