Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburetting-apparatus.
Inventor: MELHUISH ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1908-03-16
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 5861. Melhuish, A. G. March 16. Carburetting.-In a carburetting - apparatus comprising a weight-driven rotary blower, an air drier, a gasholder, and a breaking - device, the calcium-chloride holder for drying the air comprises outer and inner cylinders 1, 4, Fig. 2, secured together by clips. The inner cylinder is open over part of its wall and is provided with alternating divisions 5 arrranged to give a tortuous course to the air, which enters at 7 and passes out at 8 to a pipe 2 leading to the carburettor 3. The drum 11, Fig. 4, of ordinary wet-meter type, is secured in position by a single bolt 13 passing through the ends and serving as a bearing for the tube 15 of the drum. The seal 16 is made in one piece at its lower end, and is provided with a draw-off pipe 17. The pipe 19 is enclosed within a pipe 20, the hole through which the pipe is introduced being closed by a plug 21. The gas-holder tank 22 is made in one piece with a closed bottom 23 fitting a square seating on the blower tank 10. The float 24, Fig. 5, for indicating the level of the petrol in the petrol tank is attached to a stiff wire 25 so that the gauge 26 is not subjected to the action of petrol. The winding- drum is carried on a fixed bolt 32, and carries a gear-wheel 33 with which gears a pinion 34 operated by a crank 35, the pinion 34 being slid out of gear when the winding is complete. The wheel 43, which drives the drum 11 through a pinion 14, drives also a drum 36, Fig. 1, around which a brake 27 is wrapped. The brake is operated through levers 37, 38 by the motion of the gas-holder 41. The drum 36 drives a crank 30 by which the petrolsupply apparatus is operated.

Abstract: 14,493. Astorgis, L. J. C. Aug. 31, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Date and time printing stamps.-In apparatus for checking workmen, a time type-wheel is set by the attendant every ten minutes say after the hour, the apparatus shown allowing six such settings. The record sheet for a week is secured by the wedge 37 on the drum 36 fast to the hollow spindle 15, which carries the fork 16 in which are pivoted the two levers 17, 20 which operate the plunger 26. The levers carry wedge-shaped studs to engage numbered notches in the dial plate 8. The plunger 26 engages the lever 27, the bent end of which actuates the frame formed by the end plates 29, 32 and the stay bars 33, 35. This frame is pivoted on the rod 30 and adapted to depress the forked arm 38 which passes between the rods 35 and works on the screw 12. A single type-wheel with numbers from 1 to 6 is borne in the forked arm and carries a star wheel 41 to engage the star wheel 44 slidably mounted on the spindle 43 between the arms of the fork 38. The spindle 43 carries an external pointer for setting. The screw 12 is rotated to bring the printing-wheel to the next column, a complete turn being ensured by the cam 61 on the spindle engaging a spring lever 62, the rotation being shown by the pointer 11. The plunger 26 carries a block 52 having a stud to engage an incline on the pivoted bellhammer, the block 52 yielding against its spring 53 on the return motion. The ink-ribbon is carried by the rollers 47 having ratchet-wheels to engage pawls on the cross-bar 46, which are alternately thrown into gear therewith by hand.

Title: Improvements in Starting Switches for Electric Motors.
Inventor: GARSIDE EDMUND
Filed: 1908-09-09
Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 18,965. Garside, E. Sept. 9. Switches. - The main arm of a motor starter of the t y p e described in Specification No. 16,126, A.D. 1908, is moved to close the main circuit and simultaneously biasses a sliding brush to cut out resistance, this operation being delayed until the main arm is closed, and retarded by dash-pot mechanism. A collar j is caused to slide up a rod i by means of a toggle connexion k with the main arm b. A brush g completes the main circuit, and a no-volt coil f holds the arm closed. Integral with the collar is a tube m turned in at m<1> to engage one end of a spring o, the other end of which engages a slider p, which carries the resistance brushes p<1>. At the end of the upward travel of the collar, a projection u on the tube m trips a catch t pivoted to a fixed point on the casing, and releases a roller t<1> on the slider p. The slider thereupon travels upward on the rod i,cutting out resistance at a rate determined by a dash-pot, which is formed by a tubes fixed to the slider and a piston s' depending from the rod i. Should the roller t<1> not be locked in the starting-position in the catch, a projection v on the catch prevents the closure of the main arm.

Patent GB-190901008-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines and in the Method of Knitting thereon.
Inventor: GREENHALGH HAROLD
IPC: D04B11/20
Filed: 1909-01-15
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 1008. Greenhalgh, H., and Smith, J. H. Jan. 15. [Cognate application, 14,359/09.] Kititting, methods of; straight-bar machines. -Relates to an improved method of widening knitted fabrics on latch-needle machines adapted to knit and join a number of parallel strips of fabric simultaneously. Fig 8 shows the nine strips a, b ... i forming one-half of the web. Now loops 1, 2 ... 9 are added to the strips e, f, d, g, c, h, b, i, a in succession, and this cycle is repeated as desired. The needles 10 are attached to a bar 11 the variable oscillation of which provides for the knocking-over and for varying the amount of thread drawn by the sinkers. Two slurcocks 25, 26 each traversing half the width of the web and operating on jacks or a number of slurcocks, each traversing one breadth, may be used to drive the sinkers. The traverse of the thread-carriers such as i<1> is obtained from a bar 62, which slides in the brackets carrying the fashioning-screws over rather more than the breadth of one strip of fabric. The thread-carriers are also oscillated across the needles by a square bar 67 on which slides the carrier boss i<2>, sliding movement being derived from the bar 62 by means of a box i<5> frictionally attached thereto, and a driving-arm i<4>. The traverse of the box i<5> is limited by stops h<8>, i<8> controlled by the fashioning-screws. Each carrier is driven in a similar manner, and each stop regulates the outward extreme position of one carrier and the inward extreme position of the adjacent carrier. The fashioning-screws a<10> ... h<10> are each provided with ratchet driving-gear comprising pairs of ordinary ratchets and pattern ratchets, the driving- pawls operating in unison. Thepattern ratchets a<12> ... h<12>, Fig. 9, are cut with deep and shallow teeth, and when the deep teeth are engaged by the driving-pawls the ordinary ratchets are also operated to advance the corresponding fashioning-screws. The shaft corresponding to the selvedge strip i has only one ratchet i<11> as it is operated at each step of the cycle. The deep teeth of the ratchets a<12> ... h<12> are so placed that, at the first step of the cycle, all the ratchets from e<12> to h<12> and the ratchet ill are operated in unison, at the second step, the ratchets from f<12> to h<12> and the ratchet i<11> are operated; and so on, the strips being thus widened in the order e, f, d, g, c, h, b, i, a as stated above.
