Title: Improvements in Resilient Tires.
Inventor: BEASLEY WILLAIM FESSENDEN
Filed: 1905-11-10
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 23,123. Beasley, W. F. Nov. 10. Tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.-A tyre consists of a a thick outer cover, a resilient core of transverse truss walls, and expansible filling strips for use with a Clincher rim. It is preferably made in six sections to facilitate repairing. Figs. 2 and 3 show the tyre body 1 enclosing the resilient core 2, and the filling strip 3 which is a block of rubber transmitting pressure in running to the walls 7 and thus holding the sections in place. The ends of each section are covered with a flap 9. Fig. 8 shows a form in which another filling is adopted. The hollow of the shoe or body 1 diverges towards the rim and the filling strip is in two parts hinged by a layer of some flexible material, and forced apart to secure the tyre by the aid of screws 11 or screw cams, either of which may be tubular for the release of air when sudden shocks are produced. To fasten the sections together, strips of fabric are worked in the tread of the tyre, the ends projecting in the form of loops which fit together and form a knuckle joint secured by a pin. As a modification, the tyre shoe is made continuous and the ends stepped to fit and form a scarf joint which is then cemented. In fitting this tyre to the rim, the edges are put in position and the filling inserted endwise, the last piece being of the form shown in Fig. 8 so as to be compressed into the cover which is then pushed into position. Fig. 14 shows the elastic core, consisting of a series of transverse truss walls of rubber covered with canvas. The walls may be continued vertically to form a lattice-work for use in heavy vehicles ; two sets may be used, one above the other and separated by an elastic tension strip ; or finally two sets may be placed side by side in a casing and staggered with respect to each other. Fig. 13 shows an outer cover formed of a flattened tubular fabric with clamping wires 23 laid in the folds. The sides are secured by stitching and the article then vulcanized.

Patent GB-190711032-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves for Delivering Liquids between Predetermined Levels.
Inventor: HODGSON JOHN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1907-11-11
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 11,032. Hodgson, J. L. Nov. 11. Actuating valves; locking valves and cocks.-Relates to float-operated valves for use in " dosing " or measuring chambers for the treatment of sewage but applicable generally in tanks for delivering liquids between predetermined levels. The valves open and close quickly without any appreciable period of partial flow. The valve C, seating at S, is fitted to a float A which slides on a guide-rod V and carries a tubular extension T terminating in a collar C'. The tube T acts as guide to a second float B which moves independently of the float A until it strikes the collar C', when the two floats move upwards together. When the level of liquid rises, the float B lifts until it is arrested by a control gear, which however gives way suddenly on the liquid level reaching a predetermined height. The control gear comprises a plate or frame K carried by the float B and shaped to provide shoulders which are arrested by rollers R carried by weighted levers R<1> ; when the buoyancy of the float B is sufficiently great, the rollers are forced outwards and the float rises suddenly and in conjunction with the float A opens the valve C. An alternating- device to enable a group of such valves in a single tank to discharge successively, one or more at a time, comprises a cylindrical weight. W which rotates and moves longitudinally on the rod V within the frame K. The weight is provided on its periphery with two sets of teeth, oppositely disposed, as shown. As the float B rises and falls, projections O on the frame K coact with the teeth and rotate the weight step by step ; when the projections 0 strike the roots of the upper set of teeth, this weight is added to that of the floats and floatmechanism whereby the floats are prevented from rising further, thus maintaining the valve closed. Between certain teeth of the upper set, however, vertical grooves are cut in the periphery of the cylindrical weight, so that when the weight has been rotated sufficiently the projections O may pass up into the grooves whereby the valve is opened. Should the tank be fed at such a rate that the valves arranged for the discharge are insufficient, the liquid level may rise to such an extent that the additional weights Ware also raised and other valves opened. In order, therefore, that the valves may open successively in a given order, one or more at a time, the weights have grooves G<1> in which lie pins M situate on the fixed framework, so that the weights are prevented from rising until each has been rotated to a position in which the pin M can pass through one or other of the slots formed in the flange M' below the groove.
