Title: Improvements in Machines for Producing Artificial Silk Threads.
Inventor: GUADAGNI GIUSEPPE
Filed: 1908-01-18
Granted: 1909-01-18
Abstract: 12,253. Guadagni, G. Sept. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cellulose.-In apparatus for the manufacture of artificial silk, the pipe 1 into which the cellulose solution enters is provided with a number of inwardly-projecting pipes 3 ; any impurities in the solution are thus deposited. Each pipe 3 terminates in a cock 4 with a connexion 5, to which the squirting-nozzles 6 are fitted. The precipitation tubes 7 are fitted on the squirting-nozzles by means of rubber rings, Above the tubes 7 is a cylinder 12 running at a variable speed, according to the pressure at which the threads emerge from the squirting-nozzles, to stretch the threads to the desired extent. The threads are wound on reels 9 driven by a cylinder 10 which is of the same diameter and runs at the same speed as the cylinder 12. The cylinder 10 is partly and the reels 9 are wholly immersed in water which flows through the tank 11, so that the threads are washed.

Title: Improvements in Electric Motors.
Filed: 1908-06-12
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 12,650. Johnson & Phillips, and Paterson, S. June 12. Motors, reciprocating and oscillating type.-Consists in a reciprocating motor, particularly suitable for feeding arc-lamp carbons, in which the gravitational energy of the raised core of a magnet actuates the mechanism. In the lamp motor shown, the last member A<5> of a clock train carries a ratchet-wheel G, the pawl J of which is governed by the regulating-coils of the lamp, as by means of a connecting-rod J<1>. The first member A<1> carries a ratchet-wheel A, the pawl C of which is carried by an elbow-lever B pivoted at B' and connected by a rod R to the core F of an electro-magnet. Thus, when the core is raised, its weight drives the clock train to feed the carbons unless the regulating-coils allow the pawl J to lock the train. The connexion to the carbon-feeding mechanism is made by any suitable gearing, such as an endless chain, from one of the arbors K of the train. The core is raised by a quick-break switch E, shown separately in Fig. 4, in the magnet circuit. The moving arm of the switch is pivoted at E' and embraces a pin on the short arm of an elbow-lever L, which is pivoted to the frame at N and has its long arm attached by a tension spring Q to a pin P on the elbow-lever B. The pivots of the levers are so positioned that when the core falls the switch is snapped to the closed position shown in Fig. 1, and the resulting rise of the core opens the switch as in Fig. 4. The core thus continues to oscillate and work the train by means of the pawl C until the pawl J stops the motion.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Cut Off for Liquid and Gaseous Fuel Burners.
Inventor: CAMPBELL VICTOR EMANUEL
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 16,426. Campbell, V. E. Jan. 17, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas valves, automatically closing on extinguishing ; vapour lamps.-An automatic device for cutting-off the supply of gas or liquid fuel from a burner on the extinction of the flame is constructed with a thermostatically controlled valve which is closed by a spring motor wound up by the opening of the valve. As applied to a gasoline stove burner 10, Fig. 1, the valve 13 of the burner is operated by a spindle 16 which passes through a post 20, to the upper part of which a thermostatic tube 23, preferably of brass, is connected by means of a coupling-nipple 22. The tube 23 extends through a sleeve 24 on a block 25 secured to the burner head, and to the burner end of the inside of the tube 23 is secured a rod 28 formed of steel or iron, or partly of these and partly of brass. When the spindle 16 is rotated to open the valve 13, a spring 38<1> connected to the spindle rotates the hub 35, Figs. 3 and 4, of a cam-disk 36 from the normal position, Fig. 3, in which a recess 48 of the disk 36 is engaged by a tongue 46 of a curved lever 44, to the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the lever 44 is moved to cause a tongue 45 to engage a recess 47. On lighting the burner the thermostatic device is actuated to allow a pawl 52 with an antifriction roller 51 to hold the lever 44 in the position shown in Fig. 4. The hub 35 has a spring 41 attached to it by means of a hook 40, the other end of the spring being connected to a fixed post 42, Fig. 4, on a fixed disk 33 to which a hemispherical cover 34 is attached. When the flame is put out by any means, the rod 28 moves to the right in Fig. 1, and through a lever 62 and bell-crank lever 64 raises the pawl 52, thereby allowing the spring 41 to move the disk 36 and with it the spindle 16 which closes the valve. The spring 38<1> prevents the valve from being jammed on to its seat. The levers 62, 64 are formed of stamped sheet metal, and the lever 64 is formed so as to prevent lateral play. When it is desired to retard the closing of the valve, the form of the spring motor is varied as shown in Figs. 8 and 10. The spindle 16<1> actuates by means of pins a sleeve to which the motor spring is connected. The sleeve is provided with a gear-wheel 62, Fig. 8, in gear with an arbor escapement 69, Fig. 10, by means of gearing comprising ordinary wheels and a fixed ratchet 65<1> engaged by a pawl 66<1> on a loose wheel 67<1>. The escapement is normally held by a locking member 52<1>, and when this is released by a thermostatic device in a manner similar to that described above, the unwinding of the motor-wheels is retarded by an anchor 70 weighted at 71 and mounted in a bridle 72.

Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 18,574. Fulford, P. D. Sept. 4. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to change-speed and reversing gearing suitable for motor-vehicles, of the class in which a member of an epicyclic train is controlled by hydraulic meam. The means comprises radially arranged stationary pumps actuated by an eccentric revoluble drum. A loosely revolving frame 5 carries double planet-gears 7, meshing with a gear 3 secured to the driving-shaft 1, and with an internally-toothed ring 8 supported by a drum 9. The driven shaft 2 carries a sliding double-jawed clutch 10, which in one position engages both the frame 5 and drum 9 and so effects a solid drive. For reduced forward drives, the clutch 10 engages the frame 5 alone, and the drum 9 is geared to the hydraulic brake. Reversed driving is effected when the clutch 10 engages the drum 9 alone and the frame 5 is geared to the brake. Sleeves 4, 11 extend from the frame 5 and drum 9 and carry pinions 15, 12, respectively, constantly meshing with wheels 16, 13 loose on a countershaft 14. A double clutch 17 sliding on the shaft 14 is brought into engagement with clutches on the faces of the wheels 16, 13 to connect the frame 5 or the drum 9, as required, to the brake. The drum 38 of the brake rotates loosely on a fixed frame 42, and carries external teeth meshing with the teeth of a pinion 39 secured to the shaft 14. On the drum 38 is formed an internal cylindric surface 37 eccentric to the frame 42 and adapted to co-act with spring pistons 40 working in stationary pump cylinders 41. The cylinders 41, which contain liquid, are in communication through a central valve 43. The valve 43 may be turned so as gradually to close its ports 44, and so brake the drum 38. The clutches 10, 17 may be operated in unison by a pair of sliding cam -plates 32, 33 actuated by a single lever.
