Title: Improvements in Instruments for Levelling
Inventor: HARRIS GORDON WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-11-08
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 24,783. Harris, G. W. Nov. 8. Levels; clinometers; dividing-instruments; squares, drawing and like.-Relates to a combined sighting level and clinometer of the gravity type, which may also be used as a divider or a set square. A bar A, pivoted centrally to a freely-suspended bar C, is kept at right-angles thereto by links D, E. The upper end of the bar C has a knife-edge L taking into a V-groove cut in a pin M'. The instrument is suspended from a bar M which carries the pin M'. Levels are obtained by taking a sight with two pins J, K fixed to the bar A. Altitudes are observed by disengaging the bar A from the links D, E and tilting it about its pivot until the required point is sighted ; the angle is then read off against graduations marked on the link E. Gradient scales may also be marked on the links D, E. The bars A, C when fixed at right-angles may be used as a set-square, and the links D, E serve as a pair of dividers.

Granted: 1910-01-07
Abstract: 412. Goldsmith, B. B. Jan. 7. Plastic compositions containing casein &c.- The composition described in Specification 14,098/07, is treated with an indurating-agent, such as formaldehyde, to produce a compound which will not stick to the mould, nor become spotted by separation of the ingredients. The composition, which becomes plastic when heated, is made by acting on casein or its derivatives with a converting-agent, such as a or #- naphthol, benzoic acid, hydroquinone, pyrocatechin, resorcin, salicylic acid, urea, phthalic acid, phloroglucin, and pyrogallol, either in their natural state, or in solution. The indurating-agent may be added before, after, or at the same time as the converting-agent. In an example, 4 lb. of casein or a derivative are sprinkled with 1¢ lb. of #-naphthol dissolved in alcohol, and mixed by heated rolls. This is indurated by adding 4 c.c. of a 40 per cent. solution of formaldehyde. The degree of induration however, may be varied. Scraps of celluloid, horn, rubber, resin, gums, finelydivided albuminoids, and colouring-matter may also be added.

Abstract: 6139. Houdaille, M. Sept. 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Hydraulic vibration-dampers. - Relates to shock-absorbers for motor and like vehicles, of the type in which one or more pistons have their motion controlled by the passage of a fluid through small orifices and in which a reservoir is provided from which loss of the liquid by evaporation or leakage is made up. According to the invention the valve between the cylinder and the reservoir is normally held closed automatically and is opened automatically or by hand. Fig. 1 shows an application of the invention to the rotary-piston type of dash-pot in which the cylinder a is divided into two compartments b, c by fixed sectors d, e. Shocks are communicated to an arm mounted upon the spindle r, which is caused to rotate and turn the piston vanes p, q. Liquid is then transferred from one of the compartments to the other by way of the orifices m, m. Valves s may be provided to permit free motion in one direction, and in cases where they are not used supplementary orifices w are made in the sectors d, e. The reservoir f contains a supply of fluid which is sucked into the chamber b automatically to supply any deficiency when the apparatus is in operation through a valve h and passage o. In modified forms, the stem of the valve h is continued up through the cover u so that it can be operated by hand.

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 13,459. K÷nig, G. June 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Cultivators and hoes.-Relates to a motor hoeing or cultivating machine in which the tools are pivoted on a rotary drum as described in Specification 3918/04. The hoe stems 5, Fig. 1, are connected to bars 4 mounted in end disks 3 on a shaft 2, which is driven from the motor and is carried by an adjustable frame 1 pivoted on the rear axle of the machine. The stems 5 are pivoted on pins 7 and are normally held in notches in the bars 4 by springs 6 connected to adjustable straps 8. The length, inclination, and position of the stems 5 are adjustable. The swing of the hoes is limited by stops. By varying the tension of the springs 6 the hoes may be caused to deliver their blows one after the other. The hoes are provided with interchangeable blades and are held in contact with adjustable pins 9 by adjustable springs 11 in such a way that they may turn about the pins when they meet obstructions. The bars 4 are adjustable laterally and are free to turn while the hoes are in contact with the ground, but they are provided with adjustably and resiliently mounted arms 17 which engage with adjustable guides 12, 13, 14 when the hoes are out of the ground. The guide 14 is pivoted and is adjusted by means of a spring 15 and a cord 16. Means are provided for temporarily locking the bars 4 against rotation to hold the hoes out of contact with the ground. The locking-mechanism may be controlled by the cord 16 and a spring, so as to be operative only when the guide 14 is in its innermost position. Fig. 6 shows a hoe adapted to bury the top layer of earth. It is provided with an auxiliary resilient blade 29 having a projection 25. Fig. 7 illustrates a group of hoes provided with two end levers 28<a>, which are connected by a bar 28 and are actuated by the levers 17. Fig. 8 shows a hoe adapted to turn the soil over, transverse blades y being secured to the bent cutting-blades x. Fig. 9 shows a form in which the hoe is weighted by weights 37 and is pressed against the pins 9 by a bolt 32 which is provided with adjustable springs 33, 35. The main blade 30 and auxiliary blade 29 are adjustably and interchangeably secured. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, the tool 42 is adjustably held against the stem 5 by a spring 43, nut 44, screw 49, spring 46, washer 45, and wedges 47. A nut 48 serves as an adjustable weight. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states also that the bars 4 may be dispensed with and that the movement of the hoes may be accelerated by a guide member in the interior of the drum engaging with levers elastically mounted on the individual hoes. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
