Title: Improvements in Rotary Current Breakers for Magneto Electric Ignition Apparatus
Filed: 1908-10-07
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 21,195. Ruthardt & Co. Oct. 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Switches.-A rotary contact-breaker for use with magneto-electric ignition apparatus, in which the necessity for lubrication is avoided, consists of a rotary plate w carrying a bowl a loosely mounted on a pin g and arranged between an inclined plane b and a spring d carrying a contact c, which normally engages with the contact c<1>. During the rotation of the plate w, the bowl a comes into contact with a lug e on the fixed casing f, and is forced up the inclined plane, thus separating the contacts ; the bowl is normally retained at its extreme outward position by centrifugal force, in which position there is a small free space between the bowl and the spring to prevent any action of the bowl on the latter. The device is constructed symmetrically about the axis A B, in order that it may be fitted to armatures running in either direction.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Carding Engines.
Inventor: DRAPER WALTER
IPC: D01G31/00

Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 3364. Draper, W., and Grundy, W. Aug. 11. Guards, controlling.- In a device for locking the door in the casing of a carding - engine cylinder, a bevel-wheel d, Fig. 2, is mounted on the pin a on which the door pivots, and gears with a bevelwheel f at one end of a shaft g, the other end of which carries an adjustable crank-pin k<2>, which, when an attempt is made to open the door b, is turned into the path of projections m rotating with the fast pulley. The rotation of the shaft g on the opening of the door operates a lever g<1> and slides an obstruction n against the edge of the belt to prevent its return on to the fast pulley until the door is closed. A bolt o with a finger-piece o<1> slides in the casing p and locks into the door arm c. The arm n may be pivoted and spring-controlled to allow the belt to be moved past it on to the fast pulley for grinding purposes. The pin k<2> normally passes beyond the path of the projections m to allow rotation of the cylinder while the door is open; but if it is arranged to stop in the path of the projections m so that the door is closed automatically on the re-starting of the cylinder, it is connected to its shaft g by a clutch to allow movement in the reverse direction.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Players for Musical Instruments.
Inventor: COLDMAN HENRY CHARLES
Filed: 1909-03-10
Granted: 1910-06-10
Abstract: 5812. Coldman, H. C., and Webb, C. F. March 10. Player-pianos; actions; blowing and exhausting air; expression, controlling; treadle devices.-In an automatic piano, pistons and cylinders, arranged inside the piano casing, are substituted for the usual note-operating pneumatics. Pistons working in cylinders are substituted for the usual exhaust and equalizing bellows. Each piston d and cylinder D is controlled by a spherical valve v<1>, which is mounted loosely on its stem and is operated through a ball v<2> and a rod v. When air is admitted from the tracker-bar B to the pipe a and the diaphragm a<x>, the diaphragm rises, causing the valve v<1> to close the port a<3> and open the port a<2>, so cutting off the atmosphere from the cylinder D and connecting it to the exhaust chamber a<1>. The atmospheric pressure thereupon forces up the piston d, causing the part d<3> to operate the piano action. When the tune-sheet cuts off the atmosphere from the pipe a, the valves v<1> and the piston d fall by gravity to their normal positions. Springs which tend to force the pistons d down wardly may be provided, and silk, or other porous material, may be placed in the tubes a and above the ports a<3> to act as air-filters. The valves a<1> may be arranged to admit air under pressure to the cylinders D. The pumping-device comprises pistons p working in a cylinder p<1>, which are connected by pipes p<2> to an equalizer C. The equalizer C is connected by pipes b<1>, b to the action, and by a pipe e to the motor E. The piston-rods p<3> are connected by a bar p<4>, which is operated by straps p<7>, p<8> from treadles p<5>, p<6>. Pistons and cylinders may be used to control expression devices, but the equalizer is of such dimensions that the expression may be controlled by the treadle. According to the Provisional Specification, two valves of different areas are provided for controlling each piston and cylinder of the action.

Title: Improvements in Combined Match-cases and Cigar-tip Cutters.
Inventor: BUCKMAN GEORGE LOUIS
IPC: A24F13/24
Filed: 1909-09-01
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 20,036. Buckman, G. L. Sept. 1, 1908, [Convention date]. Cigar-cutters.-A match-case 5 having a cover 6 is provided with automatic mechanism for cutting off a cigar tip, adapted to be actuated by the pressure of the cigar, the actuation of the mechanism causing the simultaneous opening of the cover. The mechanism comprises a U-shaped frame comprising upright portions 9, 10 formed of spring metal, the upper portions of these parts being bent to form rectangular slots 11, 12 arranged opposite one another. In these slots are slidably mounted the arms of the member 13, the shorter arm carrying the cutter 14 sliding in the slot 11. Between the bottom of the part 13 and the base of the U- shaped member is situated a coil spring 20. When the lid is closed, the member 13 is retained in position by the shoulder 18, which abuts against the lower edge of the slot 11. In the arm 10 of the U-shaped member is a circular opening 19 registering with a corresponding opening 17 in the side of the case 5. In operation, assuming the case to be closed, the cigar is pressed into the opening 7, forcing back the arm 10 of the U-shaped member, thus permitting the arms of the member 13 to he caused to slide into the grooves 11, 12 by the pressure of the spring 20. The cutter 14, in rising, cuts off the cigar tip, and the member 13 rising into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 causes the lid of the case to open. Conversely the closing of the lid 6 re-sets the cutting-mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Normal and Overload Control Valves for Steam Turbines.

IPC: F01D17/14
Filed: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6740. Ziese. C., [trading as Schichau, F.]. April 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Regulating.-The main and overload valves of a turbine are rigidly connected on a common spindle and are arranged so that, when the main control valve is closed, its seating positively cuts off communication between the turbine and the steam-pipe. The main and overload slide valves g, f, Fig. 1, are mounted on a spindle k and control the passage of steam from the inlet y to the main and overload outlets x, z respectively. The normal-load ports h are formed in a lining i, and the overload ports o in a sleeve e. To prevent steam from leaking past the valve g into the turbine, the final movement of the spindle closes a valve a on to its seating m. To relieve leakage pressure in the chamber m, a relief valve b is provided together with an equalizing-passage p. In Fig. 5, three overload ports o<1>, o<2>, o<3> are shown, and the relief valve consists of a disk c on the spindle k. A small amount of lost motion is now allowed between the spindle k and the valves, and the first movement of the spindle opens the valve c, the valve a, g, f, being held in position by a spring q. A collar s then engages the boss of the valve f to open the ports, which increase in crosssection as they are opened.
