Patent GB-190818553-A (GB)
Title: Improved Feeder for Game, Poultry & the like.
Inventor: BEILBY GEORGE
Filed: 1908-09-04
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 18,553. Beilby, G. Sept. 4. Feeding-appliances for birds. - In a feeding- appliance for game, poultry, &c. in which the supply of grain &c. is regulated, means are provided for allowing the birds to supply themselves with food. The grain &c. is placed in a hopper c, Fig. 1, fitted with a lid and terminating in a spout closed by a spring flap f. The outer end of the flap f is connected to a cord n, which is also fixed to a weight h working in a guard r. The weight rests on the outer end of a regulating-slide g, which contacts at its inner end with a spring flap k. The lower end of the cord n is provided with beads or shells. The birds peck at these objects and thus draw down the flap f and allow some grain to escape from the hopper. The weight h is also raised, and the slide g being released falls on to an horizontal stay j fitted in the spout of the hopper. The flap k then falls and more grain passes down to the flap f. When the string n is released, the weight falls on the slide g, which presses up the flap k and thus stops the flow of the corn &c. The flap f is closed at the same time. To regulate the supply of corn &c. the slide g is provided with notches, as shown in Fig. 3, into which are inserted movable lugs pivoted to the spout of the hopper. Specification No. 18,631, A.D. 1891, is referred to.

Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 25,815. Newton, P. A., [Brower, B.]. Nov. 30. Drawings to Specification. Motor road vehicles.-Motor-cars having rubber or like tyres are thereby electrically insulated from the earth, and when the car is rushing through the air, electricity is generated, causing the car with its occupants to become charged. To obviate the bad effects so produced upon the nervous systems of the occupants, the insulation of the car is destroyed by such means as allowing a chain clamped to the axle to trail along the ground ; or by allowing water to trickle down through a bent tube from a small tank connected to the axle, the lower end of the tube, which may be provided with a small wheel, trailing along the ground.

Abstract: 3384. Gresham, H. E. Feb. 11. Sand, distributing on wheel tracks.-In a sand-ejector steam-supply valve, comprising a disk valve a governing one or more ports d leading to the sand ejector or ejectors and a port c leading to a drip-pipe, an auxiliary steam-inlet valve m is provided. When the handle V is turned to admit steam to the sand-ejector, the valve m is automatically opened by a cam-surface j formed on the spindle of the disk valve or on the valve itself.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 6364. Hollick, H., and Pratt, L. W. March 17. Hoods. - Cape - cart and similar hoods for vehicles are constructed in two parts, hinged together in such a manner that the front part may be lowered over the front seats, and the back part may be collapsed and the front part used to protect the rear seats. The full hood, as used on a four - seated vehicle, is shown in Fig. 1, and comprises four main hoops E, F, G, H, arranged somewhat after the manner of a W and hinged at C. The front part, if detached from the carrying-bracket O, can be dropped over the front seats to act as a weather screen when the car is left in an exposed position. When the back hoops G, L are folded on the hoop H, the front hood joint may be placed in the rear bracket O, so that the front hood protects the rear seats. In this case, the rear hood is held raised by means of a link P which can slide, against the action of a spring, on a link P<3>. When the hood is entirely collapsed, the link P, under the action of the spring, holds it down.

The curtain has stiffening-slats g<4> and rests on inclined guide - rails g, Fig. 4, on which its rollers g<1> may be moved by cords; a partition F below the curtain completes the division of the kiln. The heating is effected by pipes n connecting supply and discharge headers E, E'. Steam is sprayed through pipes m, m<2> supplied through regulating - valves from the main pipe. Ventilating - flues c in one wall project through the roof and have horizontal intakes c<1> with hinged valves d and sliding dampers e. The draught in these flues is regulated by the provision of steam loops f within them. In the opposite wall are air-supply flues s connected to slide-controlled flues s<1>.
