Patent GB-190810066-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Golf Balls and to Tools or Appliances to be used in connection therewith.
Inventor: MARTIN PATRICK ALPHONSUS
Filed: 1908-05-09
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 10,066. Martin, P. A., and Stanley, J. May 9. Balls.-The formation of a fin or flash around a golf ball, when moulding the outer gutta-percha cover, is obviated by the use of a pair of dies c, d in which plungers f<1>, f<2> are adapted to slide. Before being placed in the dies, the ball, Fig. 7, is coated with the quantity of gutta-percha required in the finished ball, the poles b<1> receiving the greatest thickness. The dies are closed upon the ball by means of handles j<5>, so that no space is left equatorially round the ball for the formation of a seam, the gutta-percha, which is in a plastic condition, being expelled into the plunger chambers, as shown in Fig. 9. The plungers f<1>,f<2> are then forced forward by any convenient press so as to complete the spherical surface, Fig. 10, and restore the extruded material to the mould. The surface of the dies may be plain, or be indented to impart a bramble or other pattern to the ball, and the plungers f<1>, f<2> may be changed to allow differently-patterned end-markings to be applied.

Title: Improvements in Brakes for use on Road Locomotives and other Vehicles.
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVID
Filed: 1908-05-12
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 10,305. Roberts, D., and James, C. May 12 Locomotive vehicles. - Road locomotives and vehicles with self-laid tracks of the kind described in Specification No. 16,345, A.D. 1904, are provided with means for preventing backward motion on inclines, which means, in the case of vehicles having engines that transmit their power through a friction clutch, enable the vehicles to ascend steeper inclines. The vehicle a, Fig. 1, with chain track f, has a driving-shaft c and front guiding sprocketwheels h loosely mounted on the axle g. Ratchetwheels j are formed on or secured to the bosses of the wheels h and are engaged by pawls carried by a brake drum k loosely mounted on the axle g. When the brake band l is tightened by hand or compressed air, the drum k is held in position, and the vehicle is prevented from moving backwards owing to the engagement of the pawls and ratchets, while motion in the forward direction is not impeded. On an incline the vehicle can be held stationary by the brake, while the friction clutch is disconnected and the fly-wheel stores up energy. When the clutch is again put in, the vehicle can advance, thus enabling steeper inclines to be ascended.

Abstract: 1 4 , 0 9 3. Muller, L. H. Baraduc-. July 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Silicon steel.-A process for obtaining silicon steels consists in adding to the molten metal briquettes made of mixtures of metallic oxides with siloxicon, or silicides of carbon or amorphous or crystallized carborundum or carbosilicium The briquettes float on the molten metal, and the constituents react with the formation of metallic silicides or carbides, which become incorporated with the molten metal. To prepare the briquettes, the materials are ground, mixed with a solution of neutral silicate of soda, briquetted, and dried or baked. Magnesia and magnesium chloride or a little cement may be added, and, when superoxygenated metallic oxides are used, carbonaceous material and clay or preferably clay marl are added.

Abstract: 17,888. Webber, L., Webber, F. C., and Webber, H. V., [trading as Webber & Sons]. Aug. 3. Electric clocks.-In electric driving-mechanism for clock-work, a coiled spring is wound at short intervals by the oscillation of a lever carrying one or more permanent magnets under the influence of an electro-magnet. The permanent magnet 2, the poles of which are situated between the central pole 1 and the separated like poles 1<A>, 1<B> of the electro-magnet, is carried by a lever 4 which bears pawls 5 acting on wheels 3, 3<A> gearing together. One end of the driving-spring is connected to the wheel 3A, and the other end to the first arbor 8 of the clock-train. On this arbor is fixed a sawtoothed wheel 7 by which the contacts 10, 10<A> are operated through lifters 9, 9<A>, the arrangement being such that when one contact-blade is in engagement the other is disengaged. When the circuit of the electro - magnet is closed through the contacts 10, 10<A>, 11, the lever 4 is moved on its pivot, winding-up the driving- spring until the circuit is broken by the action of a pin 13 carried by the lever 4 on a stud 12 fixed to the spring 11. The spring 11 is then automatically transferred from one of the contacts 14, 14<A> to the opposite one, so that at the next operation of the contacts 10, 10<A> a reversed current is sent through the electromagnet.

Title: Improvements in Governing Contrivances for Jet Impelled Water Motors.
Inventor: ORTEN-BOVING JENS
IPC: F03B15/20
Filed: 1910-01-12
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 840. Boving, J. Orten-. Jan. 12. Regulating.-A governing - device for a jetwheel a comprises a screen or deflector f for intercepting the jet, and a nozzle valve e interacting in such a manner that, on a sudden increase of speed, the screen acts quickly in masking the buckets, followed by a slow closing of the valve, after which the screen is again raised. By this means, water shock is avoided. A governor-operated shaft g actuates the screen, and at the same time actuates a piston h situated in a cylinder k, which in itself forms a piston in a cylinder m. The cylinder k is supplied with fluid under pressure from a pipe k<1>. The cylinder m is supplied with a fixed quantity of viscous fluid. The cylinder k operates a rod p, and actuates the valve e through suitable link-work. The operation of the device is as follows:-On an increase of speed, the shaft g turns anti-clockwise, the screen f partly diverts the jet, and at the same time, the piston h slides in the cylinder k, which slides in the cylinder m, but more slowly, as the viscous fluid therein has to flow through a small pipe o to a reservoir n. For all speeds, when a normal condition is attained, the screen is raised above the jet by a small constant clearance.

Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 4689. Davidson, J. J. S. Feb. 24. Fourdrinier paper-machines.-Relates to slabmaking machines of the type in which a pulp mixture of cement, fibre, and water is fed on to an endless band of permeable fabric between deckle straps and strips, is reduced to uniform thickness by a pressure roller, and is subjected to suction by means of suction boxes, and comprises means for maintaining homogeneous the mixture of cement and fibre, feeding the mixture to the permeable band under a constant head or pressure, controlling the intermittent movement of the band and the valves of the suction boxes simultaneously, and cutting the plastic artificial stone sheet into slabs. The cement pulp mixture in a tank a is agitated by rotary paddles b, is carried by a bucket-wheel h and shoot j to a regulating-box k containing rotary stirrers o<1>, and is fed by a sluice q and shoot p' to the endless permeable canvas band r. The pulp raised by the buckets can be entirely or partly returned to the tank by a by-pass shoot from the trough and a sluice gate and trough between the box k and the tank. The sluice gate q is operated by rack-and-pinion or chain gearing. The pulp on the permeable band between the deckle straps z and cross-strips 52 is levelled by a straight edge, and the charged band is moved over a suction box t under a cutting-frame 42, which is suspended by chains 43 from levers 41, 44 operated by the movement of a hand-lever 6, which simultaneously throws into action a clutch for operating the band r and operates the valves of the suction boxes t, t' by means of toothed gearing 5, 8, 10, 11, 12 and crank-shafts 13, 14. To facilitate the movement of the band, air is admitted to the suction boxes by valves operated by stepped cams 18 and springs, and the band is raised by a roller 33, which is mounted on vertical guides and is raised by levers actuated by a cam on the rod 5 connecting the lever 6 and the band-driving clutch. The times of the opening and closing of the valves of the suction boxes can be adjusted by clamping the bevel pinions 11, 12 on the shafts 13, 14 by set-screws. The endless band r passes over rollers s<1> and round guide, tensioning, and driving pulleys, and is cleaned by a rotary brush x<1>, which may be supplied with water. The slabs are transferred from the band r to a carrier band u, on which the partly divided slabs can be completely severed. At the point where the transfer from one band to the other takes place, the band r passes round a roller v of small diameter to ensure the ready stripping of the band from the slab.
