Title: Improvements in Air Brakes for Automobiles.
Inventor: HOWORTH FRANKLIN WISE
Filed: 1906-01-08
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 525. Moworth, F. W., [Winton, A., and Anderson, H. B.]. Jan. 8. Pressure - regulating valves.-In an air - brake system for motor-vehicles, a control valve is used which is adapted to supply air to the brake cylinder at a pressure corresponding to the compression of a spring compressed by the foot of the driver. The valve consists of a check valve 34, Fig. 2, normally held on its seat by the air pressure in the reservoir and by a spring 35, and arranged to be opened by a stud 49, carried by a diaphragm 40, when the diaphragm is depressed by means of a foot-piece 38 acting through a spring 30 and against a spring 36. The valve 34 remains open and allows air to pass to the brake cylinders until the pressure below the diaphragm overcomes the pressure of the spring 30 or until the foot-piece is released. The valve is then closed. If the footpiece is released, a collar 41 upon its stem 37 opens a release valve 46 and allows the air to escape from the brake cylinders. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, a ball valve 34<1> is used for the inlet valve, and the release valve is formed by a sleeve 54 on the spindle 37<1>.

Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 788. Goldschmidt, H. Jan. 11. Composition fuel.-A reactive mixture for use in welding rails and other metal bodies, heating preserves, or other purposes consists of calcium and silicon and a metal oxide or compound. As an example, a mixture containing 20 per cent of calcium, 10 per cent of silicon, and 70 per cent of iron oxide is mentioned, the resulting slag being very fluid. Chromium and other metals may also be reduced from their oxides. Inactive metals such as iron may be added to the mixture, the metal being melted down when the mixture is ignited. Bodies such as aluminium, magnesium, or ferro-silicon, which act in a similar manner to the calcium and silicon, may be added to the mixture. The calcium and silicon may be used in the form of an alloy, which may also contain aluminium and magnesium. Instead of metallic oxides, sulphides or halogen compounds, or a mixture of several of such compounds with oxides or salts such as sulphates or nitrates, may be employed. Specification No. 22,294, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Metals and alloys], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Machinery for Winding Rubber Tape or Thread on the Cores of Golf Balls.
Inventor: MCDAID MARTIN
Filed: 1906-04-20
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 9299. McDaid, M. April 20. Balls.-Relates to machinery for winding rubber tape or thread on the cores of golf balls. Two spindles g, h, driven in the same direction by suitable gearing from a shaft b, are mounted so as to be capable of longitudinal movement. A pinion j<2> supported by a bracket a<3> engages suitable teeth on the ends of the spindles g, h, thus ensuring that when one spindle moves in one direction the other moves in the opposite direction. Blank rollers g<3>, h<3> are attached to the spindles at about their centres. For reciprocating the spindles h, g, the device shown in Fig. 4 is used. A plate m pivoted on a pin m<1> engages at its upper end screw threads l on the ends of the spindles h, g, and at its lower end rests against one of two inclines n<3> on the upper end of a spring-pressed pin n'. The rotation of the spindle engaged by the plate m ultimately brings a projection p, near the end of the spindle, into contact with the engaging plate, and pushes its lower end over the pin n<1> to reston the other incline n<3>. This brings the plate m into engagement with the other rotating spindle, and consequently the directions of rotation of both are reversed. Brackets t, movable about the shaft b, form bearings for a third spindle r, which is also driven by gearing from the shaft b. A wheel r<1>, grooved at r<2> for the reception of the ball and at r<3> for the guidance of the tape, is secured to the spindle r ; the ends of the brackets tare connected by a bar t<1> holding guide-pieces t<2>. In operation, a few turns of rubber tape or thread are wound on an inner core by hand, and the core is inserted between the rollers g<3>, h<3>; the wheel r' is then lowered so as to rest on the core, and the machine is started. The shaft b may be driven by hand by means of a wheel e, or by power by means of pulleys c, d. In the latter case, the machine is stopped automatically when the ball has reached the required dimensions, by the rising of the bar t<1> to a groove u<3> in the spring-pressed lever u, the lever then moving forward so as to release an arm v connected by intermediate links with the beltshipper y<2>.

Title: An Improved Tobacco Pipe.
Inventor: FURNESS ARTHUR ALBERT
Filed: 1906-04-23
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 9451. Furness, A. A. April 23. Tobacco pipes.-In a tobacco pipe in which the tobacco is fed forwards as it is consumed, the forwarding-mechanism is operated by the pressure of the smoker's teeth. The perforated plunger or piston 8, attached to a telescopic stem 17 made in two portions 17<a>, 17<B>, is fed forwards by a pawl 32 engaging with the rack 28 and operated, through the lever 30, by the pressure of the smoker's teeth on the pressure plate 51. The pawl 32 is formed with one central and two side teeth, the central tooth 35, Fig. 5, being longer than the two side teeth 36, 37, so that the latter are held out of engagement with the racks 29 on the stem section 17<B> while the stem section 17<a> is being fed forwards. When the stem section 17<a> has been fed forwards to its full extent, a latch 18, Figs. 4 and 5, locks the two stem sections together by reason of the rib 23 forcing the latch into the slots 19, 20 on the two sections respectively, the side teeth 36, 37 of the pawl 32 then engaging the racks 29 and feeding the stem forwards as a whole. In order to push back the stem, the pipe is inverted so as to disengage the pawl 32 by gravity. When the stem is moved back, the latch is moved over and engages with a catch 26 attached to the support 27, and locks the section. 17<B> with the support. The tobacco holder consists of an inner tube 3 having slits 4, 5. A perforated ash-retaining extension 7 is provided. The casing in which the tobacco is introduced into the holder forms the subject- 'matter of Specification No. 12,581, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Packing &c.].

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Cutting or Trimming Hosiery and other Fabrics.
Inventor: GOODALL GEORGE
Filed: 1906-05-26
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 1 2 , 3 2 3. Goodall, G., and Hobley, J. H. M. May 26. Cutting-out. - Relates to a machine for automatically cutting or trimming hosiery and other fabrics. The machine is described as applied for severing a series of rib-tops for hose along the rows of slack loops which connect the welt of one top with the end of the next, but, by varying the shape and arrangement of the guide, the machine may also be adapted for cutting or trimming the cuffs and body ends of vests, and the ends of pants, &c. The work is supported on a table 1, Figs. 1 and 2, and is fed along by means of a feed-wheel 4 driven by gearing from a shaft 24, which is also driven by belt gearing from a shaft 18 fitted with a clutch or fast and loose pulley, &c. The work is guided by a grooved guide 3, formed with a tapered edge 22 near the feed-wheel, against which edge the welt of the rib-top bears so that the cut is effected in the correct place. The wheel 4 is milled so that it keeps the welt pressed against the edge 22. The guide 3 is grooved to receive the top part of the cutting-disk 2, and the guide is vertically adjustable by means of a screw 19, so that sufficient space may be left between it and the table for the rib - top to be placed beneath. The disk 2 is mounted in a vertically adjustable bracket 11, is driven by belts and pulleys, as shown, and is preferably formed with a bevelled cutting-edge. The guide 3 is of such a length that it completely covers the part of the knife-edge which projects above the table, and, for the further protection of the operator, the cover 40, Fig. 1, encloses the underpart of the frame 6 ; the feed-wheel 4 and its driving-gear may also be enclosed in a cover. The knife-edge may be periodically sharpened by an emery disk 5. This disk is mounted on a continuously revolving spindle 32, which can slide in bearings 33, and the spindle is acted on by a spring 37, which tends to pull the disk away from the knife. By turning the screw 39, the disk is made to engage the knife, and the disk can be moved vertically along an arm 34, attached to the bracket 11 and preferably set at the same angle as the bevel of the cutting-edge, by turning the screw 36, which moves the bearings 33 along the arm 34, and so enables all the edge to be sharpened. According to the Provisional Specification, the disk 5 may be automatically operated by a suitably reciprocated lever, the transverse movement of the bearings 33 taking place against spring action. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 21,947, A.D. 1891, and No. 23,746, A.D. 1894, [Abridgment Class Cutting &c.], No. 25,057, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Grinding or abrading &c.], and No. 11,914, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Cutting &c..].] .

Cranes.-In cranes or other machines which indicate the load by measuring the pressure of fluid in a cylinder F, Figs. 3 and 4, by means of a gauge I, the lever K which operates the controlling valve H of the gauge, is operated by tripmechanism connected to or worked by the crane, the valve being opened when the load is at any required height, and closed automatically. The lifting-rope B passes over and under pulleys D, E, G to a barrel X, the pulley E being attached to the piston in the cylinder F. The pipe H<1> connects the cylinder F to the valve H, and the pipe H<2> connects the valve to the indicator I and a reservoir T, a cock V being provided to facilitate filling the apparatus from the reservoir. The rod Q, Fig 5, is connected by a bell-crank lever S to a slide J, which carries a tappet J<1> to engage a trigger P pivoted to the lever K operating the rod L to open the valve H as the slide J rises. When the tappet J<1> clears the trigger P, the lever K falls, to.close the valve under the influence of a weight K' and a dash-pot M. The tappet J' simply tilts the trigger as the slide J moves downwards. The rod Q is connected by a bell-crank lever R to a rod 0 which carries an adjustable roller N against which the lifting-rope engages, when a certain length has been wound on the barrel, to move the rod 0 to the left, Fig. 4, to raise the slide J and open the valve H. A weight or spring 0<1> brings the rod 0, tappet J, and its operating-mechanism back to the normal positions. In one modification, the trigger P is pivoted in the slide J ; in a second modification, the rod L and dash-pot M are on opposite sides of the pivot of the lever K ; in other modifications, the valve H and dash-pot M are connected to a common rod L. An arrangement for operating a plug-cock or rotary valve H is shown in Fig. 10.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Pressure Tool Engines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1907-04-19
Granted: 1908-05-19
Abstract: 9163. Justice, P. M., [Sullivan Machinery Co.]. April 19. Percussive hand tools.-The distribution of the motive fluid is effected by a fluid-actuated differential piston valve 17 moving a valve block 3 contained within the valve casing 2, Figs. 2 and 12. The handle 5 is mounted slidably on the casing 2 and makes contact with a controlling-valve 12, which, on removal of the hand from the handle, is placed in a closed position by the motive fluid. The cylinder is screwed to the casing 2. The perforated cylinder cap 50, Figs. 10 and 11, is held in position by dowel pins 51 and has a plug 49 entering the valve 17. The valve block contains grooves 18, 19 and passages 21, 23, 30, 43, 41, Figs. 5 and 12. When the valve is in the position shown in Fig. 12, motive fluid passes through the passages 21, 23 to the head end of the piston 24. When the piston groove 36 passes the cylinder groove 39, the motive fluid passes through the passages 30, 26, 27 and reverses the valve 17. The motive fluid then passes through the passages 44, 43, 45 to the tool end of the cylinder, the exhaust from the other side passing through the passages 23, 18, 41. On the withdrawal of the hammer head 34 from the cylinder end 35, the cylinder end and passage 26 are open to exhaust through the port 47. The piston valve is reversed and the operation repeated. In the modification shown in Fig. 13, the valve block 56, which is provided with a cover 57, acts as a cover for the end of the cylinder. The operation of the valve is similar to that above, the reversal being effected by fluid pressure acting on the end 79. For this purpose, passages connected with the cylinder, with the fluid supply, and with the end of the valve are put into communication by the cavity 87 in the piston. A groove 100, Fig. 22, connected to the exhaust, permits the escape of fluid which might retard the reversal of the valve. Modifications of the throttle valve are shown in Figs. 13 and 14.

Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 10,988. Aylsworth, J. W. May 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding phonograph records.-Cylindrical records are formed by centrifugal force in a thin mould 2 which rests on a pair of idle rollers 1 and is driven by a friction roller 3, which is capable of being skewed to move the mould longitudinally, and into which a definite charge of molten material is introduced by a pump 7 from a steam-heated receptacle. The molten material is heated to a certain temperature so that, when placed in the mould, which has a small capacity for heat, it is still at a temperature above its melting-point, and thereby any air bubbles are forced radially inwards from the record surface. The mould is afterwards cooled by moist pads, as described in Specification No. 10,989, A.D. 1907.
