Abstract: 18,324. Reagan, D. A. Sept. 19, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Oscillating-vane type.-A furnace door is automatically opened at regular intervals by an oscillating rotary motor consisting of a shallow cylindrical casing 9, with a radial partition 10 and a vane piston 21, to which a spur-wheel is attached. An oscillating valve 14 communicates alternately with the steam inlet 17 and the admission port 18. Attached to the piston and valve are arms 25, 27 and tappets 29, 28, while the rod 30, pivoted to the arm 27, passes through a slot in the arm 25.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Warp-stop Motion Devices for Heddle Frames of Looms.
Inventor: FEHR WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-08-30
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 19,405. Fehr, W. Aug. 30. Loom stop - motions; healds.- A heald frame is provided with warp stop-motion mechanism in which the healds act as detectors, the said mechanism being contained within the thickness of the frame, and being arranged so that the whole of the width of the frame can be utilized for carrying healds. The frame comprises side-bars 8, Fig. 3, connected by a bottombar 6 and a guide-bar 7, which passes through elongated slots in the healds 9. An oscillatory rod 15 is mounted in the bars 8 below the healds and has an attached rib 16, of which the face is notched. An extension 17, Fig. 2, of the rod 15 has teeth 18 engaging slots in a bar 19, which is slidably carried on the outside of one of the bars 8. When the heald frame is lowered, the bar 19 is raised, against the action of a spring 29, and by the action of its slots on the teeth 18 the rod 15 is rocked and the rib 16 is oscillated, unless its movement is prevented by the end 11 of a fallen detector-heald of which the warp is broken or slack, the end 11 of the fallen heald being engaged between the face of the rib 16 and the notched face of a bar 14, which is carried by the bars 8. When the movement of the rib 16 is thus obstructed, the bar 19 is locked and actuates mechanism to stop the loom in a known manner. The bars 7, 14 and the rod 15 are braced together at intervals by metal pieces, which are screwed into the bar 6 and have slots, for the reception of the rod 15 and the bar 14, and a hook to engage the bar 7.

Abstract: 10,183. Jenks, G. A., and Blake, G. L. May 2. Packeting tobacco &c.-In a band-apparatus for making up packets of tobacco &c., a wrapper is pressed by hand into an open-ended rectangular mould H in such a manner that the ends of the wrapper project beyond the ends of the mould. The tobacco is then placed on the wrapper, and the upstanding parts of the latter are folded over the tobacco by hand. A spring - controlled pivoted lever E is then turned downwards, carrying with it another spring-controlled pivoted lever D having at its end a plate M, which is locked in position to cover the top of the mould H by a spring catch N. The upper projecting parts of the wrapper are turned in by means of hand-operated folders 0 pivoted to the lever E, and the bottom and side projecting parts are then turned by hand over the folders C, thereby temporarily securing the lever E in its lowered position. Two side arms F pivoted upon a spring-controlled lever C are;then raised, and they disengage the lever E by pressing upwards projections P. The packeting operation is completed by turning the arms F inwards to cause the pieces Q to enter the ends of the packet and block the folds.

Title: Improvements relating to Radio-telephony.
Inventor: SEIBT GEORG
Filed: 1908-02-17
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 3583. Seibt, G. March 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Wireless telephony.-In a system of wireless telephony, the generator of high-frequency oscillations, which may be a Duddell arc, is influenced by the currents produced by speaking into a telephone transmitter, by superposing these currents on the feeding-current. To provide a closed path for the telephonic currents other than that through the generator which supplies current to the are, a condenser or ohmic resistance is joined across the mains. The currents from the microphone 7 are superposed on the current which feeds the Duddell arc 1, and have a closed circuit through the microphone, the arc 1, the condenser 8, and the resistance 9, which is inserted in series with the condenser 8 to suppress interfering oscillations which might otherwise be produced in the circuit of this condenser. The inductances 4, 5 shut off. the electric oscillations from the feeding-wires. In a modification, the telephone transmitting - circuit is inductively coupled to the feeding-circuit.

Abstract: 5292. Greenlaw, W. A., and Royce, H. A. March 9. Cleaning tubes.-In devices for cleaning boiler and like tubes by means of a jet of steam &c., a ball-and-socket joint 16 is used between the nozzle 10 and the flexible steam-pipe 34, so that the nozzle may be turned in any direction by a handle 11 while the flexible tube is held by a handle 37, strain on the flexible tube being thereby avoided. Ball-and-socket joints for use in the abovedescribed apparatus comprise a screw cap 21, carrying a packing-ring 27 retained by a lip 29. A ring 26 with bevelled edges is pressed against the packing by a spring 24 housed in the socket 16, and thus serves, in conjunction with the sloping form of the portion 28 of the cap 21, to compress the packing against the ball 19. A ring 25 is interposed between the spring and the ring 26. The other end of the spring bears against the perforated flange 30 of a removable tubular stop 22, which limits the inward movement of the ball. Couplings, attaching pipes to.-The flexible tube 34 is soldered in the socket 31, the end of the tube being upset into the recess 32 as shown.

Patent GB-190812588-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Signalling Predetermined Speed on Ships.
Inventor: SALVATOR EMMANUEL AMODEO
Filed: 1908-06-11
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 12,588. Salvator, E. A. June 11. Recording signals; telegraphs, mechanical.-In a mechanical order telegraph for signalling the required engine speed from the bridge of a ship to the engine-room, a shaft 19, Fig. 5, driven by the engine, is in gear with a worm pinion 6 capable of being set in engagement from the transmitting-station with any one of a series of worm-wheels 3 of decreasing diameter, mounted on a common shaft 2. A pointer 30 driven by this shaft 2 revolves concentrically with a constant speed clock-driven pointer 30<1>, and the engineer must regulate the engine speed until the two. pointers 30 and 30<1> revolve synchronously. The position of the worm-wheel spindle now indicates the engine speed. To change position of the worm pinion 6 from one worm-wheel to another, the officer on the bridge lifts by means of a chain the slotted yoke 19 which engages with the shaft of the worm pinion. The latter is thereby lifted away from engagement with any of the worm-wheels 3. A crank is then operated at the transmitter, which turns the screwed spindle 12 by means of a system of intermediate shafting. The lateral movement of the nut 11 due to the rotation of this spindle effects the corresponding lateral movement of the worm pinion 6 from one worm-wheel 3 to another. The chain connected to the yoke 19 is now released, and the pinion falls into engagement with the worm-wheel opposite which it has been brought. A device for recording the order and the time of reception of the order, is provided in the receiver. This comprises the disk 37 mounted on the shaft 2 and rotated by gearing from the screwed spindle 12, and carrying on its circumference type-numerals corresponding to the revolution numbers to be signalled. A moving clock-driven paper band graduated in hours &c. moves over this disk, and a hammer, operated by the movement of the yoke 19 when a signal is given, effects the printing of the signal. The transmitter is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The chain 21, which extends from transmitter to receiver through the hollow shafting and operates the yoke 19 of the receiver, is actuated by the lever 20. The depression of this lever also removes a pin from engagement with one of the holes 55 in the worm-wheel 50, setting the latter free to rotate. The crank 54 is now turned, thereby rotating through intermediate shafting the screwed spindle 12 of the receiver. When a pointer on the transmitter indicates that the proper order has been transmitted, the lever 20 is raised, the armwheel 50 is thereby locked in position by the engagement of a pin in a hole 55, and the release of the chain 20 allows the worm pinion 6 at the receiver to move into engagement with a wormwheel 3.
