Title: Improvements relating to Devices for Lessening the Sound of Discharge of Small Arms.
Filed: 1905-09-02
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 17,805. Aktieselskabet Nygaards Gevõrkompagni. Sept. 3, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sound of discharge, modifying.-A muzzle attachment for the barrel A of a small-arm consists of a piece B, shown in longitudinal horizontal section in Fig. 1, with a chamber C on each side of the barrel. Within the chambers C are pivoted at b spring-controlled clacks D, shown in open position in Fig. 1 and closed in Fig. 4. The clacks communicate with the bore on one side through ports or openings c, and on the other side through the passages E. A casing M with a partition N is attached in front of the muzzle so as to prevent noise from being caused by escape of gas before the clacks D are closed. The gases in the bore are led through an aperture 0 behind the closing point into the casing M.

Abstract: 25,279. Santon, E. Dec. 5. Locks, permutation.-In a lock for preventing the theft of a bicycle, tricycle, or like vehicle, catches f, f<1> are adapted to be so positioned that a bolt e may be raised to engage a bracket H. As shown applied to the steering-head, a cylinder b<1> with a dial c is contained within a cylindrical piece b carried by the top tube. The catch f is fixed to the bolt and connected by a pin h to a pointer g, while the catch f<1> is revolubly mounted on the bolt and connected by a pin i<2> to a disk i carrying a pointer i<1>. To lock or unlock the machine, it is necessary to know the positions in which the pointers g, i<1> should be placed in order that the catches may register with slots c<2>, c<3> in a flange c<1> in the cylinder b<1>. The bolt is turned until the pointer g is in one of these positions, and the disk i is then turned to bring the pointer i<1> into the other positions. The bolt may then be raised or lowered until the catches are above or below the flange, when, by turning the bolt and the disk, the parts are secured in position. By providing the flange and dial upon the piece b, the cylinder b<1> may be omitted. A strap j is provided to keep the lock in place. In a modification, the top tube is recessed to receive the apparatus.

Patent GB-190623016-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Dynamo-electric Machines for Maintaining a Constant or Practically Constant Electromotive Force under Variations of Speed, specially applicable to Train Lighting.
Inventor: MACKIE MATTHEW WILLIAM WALBANK
Filed: 1906-10-17
Granted: 1908-01-17
Abstract: 23,016. Mackie, M. W. W. Oct. 17. Dynamos, regulating.-In shunt-wound dynamos, especially adapted to train lighting &c., the voltage at the terminals is maintained constant by a demagnetizing-winding upon the field poles connected across the dynamo brushes, the normal voltage across which equalizes the electromotive force of a main opposing battery in the same circuit, as described in Specification No. 2364, A.D. 1906, a small adjustable source of electromotive force being included in the circuit to produce an adjustable counter-electromotive force to adapt the arrangement to main batteries of greater or lesser vcltages. The dynamo a has the usual shunt field-winding b, a demagnetizing-winding c connected across the brushes in a circuit containing also a centrifugal governor m which opens the main circuit when the voltage of the dynamo drops below a certain minimum, two main batteries h, d one or other of which may be connected in the circuit of the demagnetizing-winding c by means of the switch i, and an auxiliary adjustable battery n. When the dynamo, to supply current to the work circuit, is generating the normal voltage, that voltage is exactly neutralized by the counter-electromotive force of the batteries h or d and the supplementary battery n. If the voltage becomes excessive, a current flows in the demagnetizing - winding, and the field magnets are weakened. When batteries of lower voltage than h or d are employed, some of the secondary cells n are cut out ; when batteries of higher voltage are employed, the supplementary cells are put in circuit so as to adapt the voltage of the dynamo to the electromotive forces of the batteries to be charged.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 8657. Cook, J. W., [trading as Cook & Co.]. April 15. Looms, checking shuttles in; shuttle-relief motions. -Levers B, C are fulcrumed on pins D<1>, D carried by a metal frame or bracket A. The pin D<1> passes through an elongated hole H in the lever B, thus allowing the lever an horizontal movement of about half an inch. When the shuttle K enters the box, it causes the lever B to move the lever C against the action of the spring E, so that its curved face C<2> contacts with the shuttle. Immediately the shuttle commences its outward movement, it moves the lever B horizontally, thus causing it to release the lever C.

Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 13,427. Pohlig Akt.-Ges., J. June 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Conveyers.-The edges of the conveyer band are provided at intervals with bearing-parts to prevent it from coming into contact with the sides of the channel or trough, In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 of a conveyer'by which hot coke may be conveyed and simultaneously slaked, the wovenwire band a slides on shoulders e formed on the channel d, and the edges are prevented from contacting with the sides of the channel by flat or angle-irons b attached at intervals to the band. In a modification, the bars b slide directly on the shoulders e while the band depends in the trough c. In a further modification, the edges of the bars are flush with the edges of the band and ride against guide ledges formed on the channel. The angleirons also serve to obviate back-flow when travelling on inclines and prevent the belt from sagging. The bearing-parts may be attached to the edges only of the band, the transverse portions being dispensed with.

Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 20,497. Keep, G. A., and Woolley, E. S. Sept. 14. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Paraffin and other heavy hydrocarbon oils are passed through a water or steam heated chamber before being admitted to the usual carburettor. In the example illustrated, a double-walled chamber is heated by the cooling-water from the cylinder jackets. The chamber comprises an outer casing A having inlet and outlet tubes B, C connected to the jackets of the cylinders. An inner chamber D of copper is provided with baffle-plates o and is traversed by rows of different-sized copper tubes E, F. The tubes are preferably square in section and are arranged to produce a further baffling effect on the oil passing through the inner chamber from the entrance G to the exit H. The water from the outer chamber passes through the tubes and heats the oil, which is afterwards passed into the usual carburettor, as shown in Fig. 3. To enable a vehicle motor co be started, petrol is supplied by a pipe K until the cooling-water becomes sufficiently heated to allow heavy fuel to be used. A two-way valve M is operated by the driver to cut off the petrol or paraffin supply when desired. A preliminary heating-device may be employed to heat the chamber A at starting.
