Patent GB-190522553-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Percussive Hand Tools, Power Hammers and similar Tools Actuated by Compressed Air.
Inventor: STOCKS HARRY BENWELL
Filed: 1905-11-04
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 22,553. Stocks, H. B. Nov. 4. Fluid - pressure hammers. - In a percussive hand-tool, power hammer, or similar tool of the kind described in Specification No. 15,869, A.D. 1905, in which the compressed air is stored within two tubes until a predetermined pressure is attained, the secondary distributing-valve is dispensed with, the equilibrium valve or valves being used also for this purpose. The differential areas a<1>, a<2> of the valve are in communication with the two tubes through passages b<4>, b<3>, semicircular cavities b<2>, b<1>, and passages l, k, respectively. As described in the prior Specification, air is cut off from the atmosphere by a hand-operated piston g, and, on an impulse from the air-compressor, equilibrium is destroyed and excess low-pressure air acting on the larger area a<1> of the valve drives it back and so uncovers a port n, so that air passes through a port o to the front of the piston, which is returned, exhaust from the back passing through ports q, q<1>, the reduced neck r of the valve, ports r<1>, and a recess r<2> to the atmosphere. On the next impulse of the air-compressor, excess high-pressure air, acting on the area a<2> of the valve, drives the valve forward and so allows high-pressure air to pass through the ports ql, q and drive out the piston, the exhaust passing through the low-pressure ports o, n, recess r, and the ports r<1> to atmosphere. The exhaustion of the air may be assisted by a port s, and a by-pass as before may be provided to prevent the low pressure exceeding requirements. An outlet t to the atmosphere is also provided from tha valve. The valve may be of annular or piston type, or if desired two valves may be used.

Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 26,390. Thissen, A. Dec. 18. Safety-pins.-In a machine for making safetypins, a blank for a shield is punched from a strip g by a die e, and forced by a plunger f through a die h and into a recess in an intermittently rotated disk c. The previously pointed lengths of wire are fed from a hopper by an intermittently rotated grooved wheel b, and each wire has its end bent by a reciprocating tool m, and is moved endways by a gripping push-rod d to insert the wire end into a shield. The shield is fixed on the wire by a stamp l, and the wire and shield are drawn away from the disk c by the rod d and allowed to fall down guides i on to a plate r, and are then fed against a former w by a slide s and twisted round the former by a pin v on a rotating shaft u.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Synchronising the Movements of Cinematographs and Phonographs or like Instruments
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-12-19
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 26,522. Boult, A. J., [Joly, H.]. Dec. 19. Kinematographs. - Relates to a method of synchronizing the movements of phonographs and kinematographs or like instruments by means of an indicator of relative speeds which allows the speed of the kinematograph to be ascertained at any moment and regulated in accordance with that of the phonograph. In the form shown, the .spindle d of the phonograph a carries a cam e which completes a circuit through the springs f and magnet g twice in each revolution of the spindle. The magnet g thus intermittently moves the pointer r by means of ratchet and toothed gearing l. At the same time, the rotation of the kinematograph b is conveyed by the flexible shafting c to the worm gearing v which rotates the dial q over which the pointer r moves. The dial q has a pointer s similar to the pointer r, and the speed of the kinematograph is varied in such a way as to keep the two pointers r, s in conjunction. The button y controls the circuit of a magnet z adapted to release the driving-mechanism of the phonograph.

Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces; rotary machines.-Relates to cylinders for printing, embossing, calendering, &c. constructed with a view to obtaining an even pressure along the line of contact between coacting cylinders. The cylinder comprises a shaft a provided with two bearing- surfaces b', either in the form of separate collars, or as shown in Fig. 3 integral with the shaft, which support a sleeve d formed with corresponding internal bearing-surfaces b<2>. This sleeve d is provided with four bearing-surfaces e<1> which are located at the points where the tube d would receive equal deflexion by a load equally distributed along the cylinder, and which fit tightly into corresponding internal surfaces e<2> on the external cylinder g. The ends of the cylinder are formed by driving-plates h, Fig. 6, keyed on the shaft and formed with teeth k adapted to engage recesses in the cylinder g. Cover caps n may be fitted to both ends. To provide for steam-heating the cylinder, the shaft a is formed with passages o, o<1>, which communicate by way of tubes q with the annular space r, the bearing-surfaces. e<1> being traversed by holes s. In a modification, the outer cylinder is supported on eight bearing-rings. The inner tubes or sleeves may be made of joists of I-section. In a modification, shown in Fig. 10, in which tight joints are formed between each pair of sleeves or cylinders, each end of the shaft is screwed and fitted with a nut 2 which bears against a split ring 5 engaging a conical portion on the shaft a. Surrounding the ring 5 are two split bearing-rings 7, 7<a>, between which and a shoulder 4 on the shaft is a distance ring 4<a>, recessed internally to accommodate the ring 5.
