Title: Improvements in Combined Motor Lawn Mowers and Rollers
Inventor: SIMPSON WILLIAM PERCY
Filed: 1904-01-16
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 1207. Simpson, W. P. Jan. 16. Lawn-mowers; rollers, land and garden.-In combined motor lawn rollers and mowers in which the main frame is supported partly by the roller and partly by the pivoted frame of the mower, means are provided for automatically throwing the rotating cutter out of gear when it is lifted, for regulating the cut by means of an eccentric, for raising the cutters by hand, and for causing them to follow the contour of the land automatically. Fig. 6 shows the means for throwing the rotary cutter out of gear. The cutter is rotated by means of a chain driven by the wheel 2 on the shaft 6 of a roller mounted in the frame B of the mower. When the front part of the pivoted frame C, carrying the cutters, is raised, the springs 8 on the pins 9 force the clutch member 13 out of contact with the member 12 on the loose wheel 2, but when it is lowered, the pins 10 come against the oppositely-bevelled faces of the parts 5, and are thus forced outwards until the parts of the clutch are in contact. The gearing is enclosed by a removable cap. When the machine is at work, an eccentric on a shaft passing through the pivoted frame C, bears against a lug on the frame B. The height of the cutters is regulated by turning the eccentric shaft by means of a lever which is held in position by a notched segment. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the cutters E, F are raised by the operator. The hand-lever G is jointed to a rod 19 connected by a ball-and-socket joint 23 to an arm 24 on a rocking shaft 25 carrying arms 26 which are connected by links 27 with the pivoted frame C. The frame B is swung on its pivot in the frame A by means of the lever 36, rod 35, and arm 34. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the cutters follow the contour of the land automatically. The frame C is preferably nearly counterbalanced by a weight 53 adjustable on arms 49. A controlling-wheel 48 is carried by a lever 39, which is connected with a toggle, the parts 43, 42 of which are pivoted to the frames B, C respectively. When the swivelling wheel 48 descends, the toggle is bent and the cutters are lowered, but when it ascends, the toggle is straightened and the cutters are raised. The weight of the wheel 48 may be counterbalanced by a weight 15. A shoe or other device may replace the controlling-wheel, and the frame A may be of any construction. In order that the height of the cut may be regulated, the toggle is jointed to an adjustable bracket 44.

Abstract: 1269. Basset, W. B., and Barry, E. Jan. 18. Blanks, supplying; work holding and removing devices.-In a machine for screwing and trimming bolts, screws, &c., the blanks l are clipped to a chain h fed along by the engagement in notches of a pawl e, moved forward against the action of a spring d by a cam b on the shaft a. When the blanks have reached a position such as that shown, the cam m presses against the spring n on the lever o, which is caused to grip the heads against the adjustable block v, while the cutting operation is being performed. The articles are released on further revolution of the cam shaft, and are moved forward, being finally removed from the chain by a stationary horn p. The Provisional Specification states that electrical or mechanical contact devices may be employed to stop the machine automatically, or to give warning of any imperfect working.
Patent GB-190405365-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Mud Guard and Road Sanding Attachment for Motor and other Vehicles
Inventor: LINTERN WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-03-04
Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 5365. Lintern, W. March 4, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Mud guards; slipping of wheels, preventing ; sand, scattering.-The mud guards of motor and other vehicles are adapted to carry sand, which may be discharged by mechanical or pneumatic means upon the track of the wheels. The mud guard may be hollow, or may carry a reservoir to contain the sand supplied through a tightly-closed aperture e. In the pneumatic system to prevent the sand from flowing out when the device is not in operation, a rib or plate g supports the body of the sand in the reservoir and restricts its flow into a pocket h. A blast from a pipe j, which leads from a controlled compressed-air or gas supply upon the vehicle, carries up the sand covering the turned-up end of the pipe into a discharge-pipe f, whence it is conducted to the roadway in front of the wheel, the pocket being constantly supplied from the reservoir. The contents of the reservoir may be discharged through an opening i. The hand or foot pump usually carried upon a motor vehicle for inflating the tyres, may be connected with the sanding-device, and also be provided with a hose pipe for its normal purpose. A compressed-air reservoir may also be provided, while in vehicles fitted with a gas engine, by tapping into the muffler at a point that will give a small pressure and connecting through a valve, the exhaust gases may be used to operate the sander.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Moulding Presses.
Inventor: BONVILLAIN PHILIBERT
Filed: 1904-05-05
Granted: 1904-06-23
Abstract: 10,336. Bonvillain, P. May 5. Casting and moulding.-Relates to a hydraulic press for moulding sand in foundries. Fig. 1 is a vertical section, and Fig. 3 a plan, of one type of machine, comprising an upper pressing-piston and a lower mould-removing piston. When using the press, the cross-beam 12 is swung horizontally until the hook 13 engages in the table 7, and the height of the pressing-plate 44 above the flask 49 is adjusted, without waste of water, by turning the internally and externally screwed sleeve 40 by the wheel 41, the piston 36 being prevented from rotating by a screw 39 fitting in a groove 38, and the inner collar 42 by a rod 45. One collar 56, Fig. 7, may be used instead of two, and, to hasten its motion, the sleeve 68, made in two portions, may be placed either as shown, or between the nut 64 and the lug 10. Water is then admitted above the large piston, and, when the plate 44 has descended upon the sand, the piston 16 is raised carrying with it the plate 17, rods 31, and core pushers 32. The height of the rods 31 should be so adjusted in the holders 29, that directly the cores are compressed, the rods 31 come in contact with the lugs 50, and the adjustable collar 20 with the half ring 24, which is pivoted to the table 14. To provide room for the rods 31 and pushers 32, the cross-bars 9 are made movable. Water is next allowed to escape from above the large piston 36, so that as there is water under pressure below the small piston 35, the plate 44 is raised. The stop 25 is then removed by the handle 27, and the table 17 rises, lifting the flask 49 by its lugs 50, and the cores by the pushers 32. If stripping-plates are used, they also would be raised by rods. When the flask 49 is removed, the table 17 is allowed to descend, the travel being limited by the nut 19 striking the upper end of the cylinder 15. A smaller machine is shown in Fig. 4; the upward travel of the table 17, before the removal of the press-plate, is limited by a nut 54 coming in contact with a removable arm 55, and the downward travel by the projection 56.

Title: Improvements in Adding Machines.
Inventor: MORSE HERBERT NORTH
Filed: 1904-10-11
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 21,893. Morse, H. N. Oct. 11. Calculating-apparatus.-In the casing 2 of an adding-machine are circular holes 3 with numbers marked round the outside, and beneath these holes dials 6, similarly marked, are mounted to turn. Oblong apertures 4 permit one number on each dial to be seen at a time. In the dials are depressions 7, and, to effect addition, a pencil-point or other device is inserted in the depression opposite the numeral on the casing which is to be added, and the dial turned until the pencil meets a stop 5. The numbers of the different dials represent respectively pence, shillings, and units, tens, hundreds, &c. of pounds. Transmission from one dial, when it is turned up to or past the zero position, to the next dial is effected by means of an intermediate plate 15, having its ends bent over and pivoted on a stud 16. A-sleeve fixed to the plate surrounds the stud, and a helical spring attached to the sleeve and to an arm 18 carried by the stud presses the plate towards the right. As the next dial to the right reaches the zero position, an arm 23 which it carries acts on a stud 22 on the plate 15, rocking the plate and causing a spring pawl 20 pivoted to it to engage a ratchet-wheel 12 on the next dial and rotate it by one tooth. Backward motion of the ratchet-wheel 12 is prevented by a spring pawl pivoted to the case, and when the pawl 20 engages the wheel 12, a retarding- pawl 19, forming part of, or attached to, the plate 15, presses against the same wheel. In the case of the shillings dial, however, the pawl 19 acts by means of a second pawl 19<a> pivoted to the case. The ratchet-wheel on the pence dial is acted on by a retarding-pawl only. A mark is made on each dial 6 opposite the depression which must be brought next to the stop 5 in order to bring the dial to the zero position.
