Title: Improvements in Fastening Devices for Ropes.
Inventor: JACKSON JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-07-15
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 14,975. Jackson, J. July 15. Couplings.-A coupling for driving and other ropes is shown in Fig. 1. A conical plug C is inserted into each end of the rope A with its base foremost. The strands are then drawn over the plug, and a tapered sleeve B is pushed over the rope end with its taper parallel to the taper of the plug, so that, when two plugs are connected by a hook and eye or other connexion D and the rope is pulled taut, the strands are wedged between the plugs and the sleeves. The hooks and eyes may be integral with the plugs or may be suitably connected to them, or the plugs C, Fig. 4, may be connected by a short length of wire rope G. In another modification, an eye F, Fig. 3, is formed in the base of each plug C and a strand is passed through it. The coupling may be used in the single form, as well as in the double form shown in the drawings.

Gas and like engines; furnace-gas engines; hot-air engines.-Steam or other motive fluid generated at a very high pressure before use -in a prime mover such as a turbine or reciprocating engine is reduced in pressure by passing through an injector which also induces a secondary fluid and discharges the mixture into a receiver. The high - pressure fluid may be previously superheated. The secondary fluid may be air, furnace gases, the exhaust gases of internalcombustion engines, or other combustion products, and may be treated to regulate its humidity, may be compressed by a blower, or may be heated. The pressure of the mixed fluid is raised by passage through an apparatus causing '' shock."

Patent GB-190905591-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Machines for Making and Driving Wire Staples.
Inventor: HULOT ALPHONSE HENRY JOSEPH PI
IPC: A43D69/04
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 5591. Hulot, A. H. J. P. March 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Stapling.-In a stapling-machine, shown applied to stapling boot or shoe soles, the means for feeding, cutting, and bending the wire, and driving the staples, are actuated by cams from one shaft; and the work carriage, which is automatically moved in one direction by gearing operated from this shaft, is also capable of lateral movement at right - angles to this direction. Fig. 2 shows the mechanism for making the staples. Wire is fed over a table 30 by a bevel-wheel 31 to shapers 23, 24. The shaper 23 in its downward movement also cuts the wire in a slanting direction. The finished staple is driven into the work by a hammer 22. The shapers and the hammer arc driven by cams 6, 8, 7, respectively, from a shaft 4. The rods which carry the shapers and hammer are fitted with rollers to engage the cams, and are pressed upwards by springs 19, 20, 21. A similar cam mechanism operates the wheel 31 through ratchet gear. An anvil is thrust between the shapers during their downward movement by a lever operated by a spring- pressed roller riding on a cam 36. The work is supported on a table 49, which is supported by collars 57 resting on guides 56, and which can be moved across the bed of the machine by a screw 58. On the table 49 are fitted side strips 50, between which a plate 51 slides. The plate 51 carries movable clamps 52, which hold a frame 53 gripping the edge of the work, which rests on a band of material such as indiarubber, felt, &c., or on a grooved metal plate on the plate 51. A chain passing over a chainwheel 66, which can ride along a shaft 70, is attached to the plate 51. The shaft 70 is driven from the shaft 4 by an eccentric 73 through a pawl and ratchet-wheel 71.

Abstract: 8283. Kr³ger, E. A. April 6, 1908, [Convention date]. Repairing ; filaments. - Unbroken carbon filaments of blackened lamps are repaired by flashing them in a measured quantity of a pure hydrocarbon, after the bulbs have been opened, fitted with exhausting-tubes, heated to burn off the blackening, and exhausted. A lamp g and a measuring- vessel d may be exhausted through a cock a and a passage i while shut off by a three-way cock c from a hydrocarbon reservoir f ; the cock c is then turned to connect the reservoir f and the measuring-vessel d while a second lamp h is connected to the pump by turning the cock a. The vessel d, containing a definite quantity of hydrocarbon, is then connected to the lamp g by turning the cock c ; the filament is then flashed, and the lamp exhausted and sealed. The second lamp h is treated similarly. In a modification, the vessels d, e are filled before the lamps are exhausted.

Title: Improvements in Fastening Devices.
Inventor: FARRAND HIRAM AUGUSTUS
IPC: F16B15/04

Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 12,737. Farrand, H. A. June 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Nails and spikes.-A fastening-device for securing objects to plaster walls or partitions, and for other purposes, has one or more arms which are turned laterally behind the wall &c. by means of a secondary headed stem. Figs. 1 and 5 show a nail-like form of the device made from a single piece of sheet metal folded into six strips. The two outer strips 16 are bent into a head 12, and the inner strips 13 terminate in a secondary head 11. Portions are removed from the inner strips to weaken them at 15. After inserting through the wall 18, the head 11 is forced against the head 12, and the pointed ends 14 bend back at the weakened parts, and bear against the wall as shown in Fig. 5. In a modification, the device consists of two parts riveted together through the secondary stems 13. A washer may be applied to the head 12. Fig. 13 shows a simpler form of the device. The pointed end 23 is bent over by driving the head 21 up to the head 22. The main stem 24 may be flanged or of U-shaped section, forming a stronger nail, and two or more of the devices may be fastened side by side by rivets passing through the secondary stems 26, being so arranged that the arms 23 bend in different directions. Fig. 25 shows a modification in which two secondary stems 50 are connected by a cross-bar 51, which acts upon two arms 49 formed on a primary stem 47. Fig. 29 shows a modification in which the bending of the arms 61 is effected by a screw 60, which passes through a nut-like portion 59 of the stem. The inner ends of the arms 61 also engage the screw-thread. Modifications are described in which the arms of the device are not in the same plane when bent, and in which three arms are arranged symmetrically around the stem. Fig. 46 shows a modification in which the device is not pointed, the stems opening out into one or more loops 81 when the head 79 is driven up to the head 80. The stems may have interrupted flanges which determine the points at which bending takes place. In addition to the loops 81, this form may have a central pointed stem. In another modification, the secondary stem and head are dispensed with, and the spreading of the arms is effected by a driving-tool, such as a punch or a nail.
