Patent GB-190608805-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Starting Gates or Starting Devices for use on Race Courses.
Inventor: WOOD ABRAHAM
Filed: 1906-04-12
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 8805. Wood, A., and Kay, J. April 12. Races, starting.-Relates to electrically-controlled starting-gates for horse races. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, standards a are erected at the requisite distance apart ; attached firmly to the upper end of each standard.is a bracket c, on which a lever arm e and a lever d carrying a quadrant shaped weight d' are pivoted at c<2> and c' respectively. The lever arm e and the weighted lever d are connected by a link f in such a manner that, when the lever d swings downward through a right-angle, the lever e swings upward through 180 degrees. A wheel g supported by a spring acts as a buffer for the weight d<1>. Tapes attached to brackets t<1> stretch from the lever arm e on one standard to the lever arm on the other standard, thus forming the gate' of the apparatus. The gate is held in its starting position, shown in Fig. 1, by means of one or more electro-magnets i, Fig. 5, contained in box-like compartments in brackets j<1> clamped to the standards a. Terminals i, i<2> are connected to an accumulator A and a spring push s, while wires i<4x>, i<3x> lead from these terminals to the other set of electro-magnets. When the circuit is broken by the spring push s, the arms e are released, and, under the action of the weight d<1>, swing quickly, through 180 degrees. In a modification, Fig. 6, weighted levers are attached to toothed quadrants n gearing with pinions m, to the shafts of which the arms e are rigidly attached. Thus, when the electro-magnets cease to act, the lever e is swung quickly upwards under the action of the weight c<7>. A cushioning-device for the weight c<7> consists of a stout strip o mounted in a frame o<1> and provided with a spring o<2>. According to the Provisional Specification, instead of the lever arms e being directly controlled by electro. magnets, intermediate locking-devices or catches may be used.

Title: Improvements in Pen Grinding Machines.
Inventor: MALPASS GEORGE
Filed: 1907-02-19
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 4136. Malpass, G. Feb. 19. Pens.-In a machine for grinding the backs of pen nibs, each nib is rocked backwards and forwards concentrically with its curved surface, so that the nib is evenly ground. The nibs are held by spring- actuated jaws E, Fig. 2, which are pivoted between the bifurcated ends D' of tubes D inserted through equally spaced pairs of holes in two circular plates C<4>, C<2>. The plates are secured together and are rotatably mounted on an axle B, Fig. 3. A ratchetwheel 0 is secured to the plate C<1>, and is actuated by a pawl P<1> on a cam-actuated lever P pivoted on the axle B, so that the plates are intermittently rotated to carry the nibs successively into the position to be ground by an emery wheel I. A pivoted catch-lever C<3>, which is actuated by a cam and cooperates with notches in the plate C', prevents overrunning of the plates, the lever being moved to free the plates before these are moved. A spring K, Fig. 2, tends to hold the nib against the wheel I, and when a nib is moved into the grinding-position, a spur-wheel H on its holder tube is brought into gear with a rack J, Fig. 3, which is reciprocated in suitable guides by a connecting-rod and a crankdisk U', so that the nib is rocked backwards and forwards. The nib is prevented from touching the wheel I until the proper time by a shield f, and, if a nib is not properly held by the jaws E, a part g of the shield-support will push it into the proper position or will eject it from the machine. The nib-holders are held in the proper position by spring-pressed pivoted levers Z, which engage projections on the bifurcated parts D<1> of the holders. The emery wheel is rotated by a belt and is mounted in standards carried by a plate V, which is pivoted to an adjustable slide-bar W. The bar W is adjusted so that the pivot of the plate V is directly below the grinding point. The plate V is oscillated by a centrally pivoted lever X and a cam Y, the cam being so constructed as to oscillate the plate V in such a manner that the emery wheel will grind the required extent of the back of the nib. The nibholder jaws are opened at the points 1, 2 to enable a fresh nib to be inserted and a ground nib to fall into a receptacle respectlvely. The jaws E are opened by a slide G, Fig. 2, having a wedge-shaped end G<1>, which, when the slide is moved towards the jaws, enters between their tail-ends to open the jaws. The slide G may be operated by means of a fixed cam-surface or by a cam-actuated lever.

Title: Improvements in Valves for Syphon Cisterns.
Inventor: MORRISON JOHN
Filed: 1907-05-16
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 11,449. Morrison, J. May 16. Waste - preventing valves.-Relates to valves for siphon cisterns of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 1179, 2497, and 4844, A.D. 1876, [Abridgment Class Closets &c.], and No. 809, A.D. 1880, the object being to ensure that the vacuum formed by the sucker which keeps the valve off its seat when the lever is pulled will be destroyed within a given period and with certainty. The valve, Fig. 2, consists of a rubber disk 3 secured to a cupped metal disk 5, which is carried by a hollow spindle 4 closed at its lower end. Within the spindle 4 is another hollow spindle 6, having a small opening 8 near its lower end and an opening 10 at the top. The spindle 6 carries a rubber disk 7 and a loose metal weight 9. The valve 3 may be reinforced by a metal liner. When the lever is pulled, the spindle 6 is lifted, and with it the weight 9 and disk 7. The disk 7, being pressed against the disk 5, raises the valve 3 by suction. The partial vacuum formed between the disks 7 and 5 is slowly destroyed by air passing down the spindle 6, through the opening 8, and up the spindle 4, and so into the space between the disks 7 and 5. When the vacuum is destroyed, the valve 3 falls to its seat, Fig. 1, and when the lever is released, the weight 9 causes the spindle 6 and disk 7 to fall and come into contact with the valve 3 ready for the next operation. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specification No. 809, A.D. 1880.]

Abstract: 13,723. Graf, L. June 13. Amino acids.-A product having a flavour resembling meat, and suitable for strengthening soups, sauces, &c., is produced by heating casein, vegetable albumen or fibrin, or other albuminous matter with hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1À19) until the mixture no longer contains peptones, or contains only traces thereof. The resultant liquid is neutralized with sodium bicarbonate, carbonate, or hydrate, filtered and cooled ; when common salt and other substances separate, it is again filtered, and is then ready for use. The treatment with acid may be conducted under pressure. A further modification consists in treating the albumen suspended in water with hydrochloric acid gas.
