Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Feeding Paper in Bag Making or other Machines.
Inventor: LOVELL EDWARD COLSTON
Filed: 1906-10-31
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 24,360. Lovell, E. C. Oct. 31. Feeding-apparatus for webs.-In an apparatus for feeding a printed web of paper to a bagmaking or other machine and for cutting it into blanks, the correct register of the printed matter is ensured by feeding forwards a slight excess of the web, securing the end, and then withdrawing the amount overfed. The web x is drawn from a roll by rollers c, d, and then passes under a roller e supported by the paper. The paper is fed forwards by rollers g, g<1>, g<4>, g<5> until its end meets a stop and the paper buckles slightly. A pair of cam-operated pins f, f<1> are then raised until they enter perforations previously made in the sides of the strip. A cam-operated plate m, which has holes for the reception of the pins f, f<1>, descends upon the paper, and an arm k, which controls the frame j carrying the rollers g, g<1>, then allows springs to lift these rollers and thus free the paper. The excess of paper is drawn back by the roller e, which may be pressed downwards by springs, and the blank is then severed by a knife l<4> acting in conjunction with a fixed knife l<5>. The plate m may be operated from the knife-operating lever l<3>.

Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 27,258. Boult, A. J., [Soc. Antoinette]. Nov. 30. Hydraulic transmission of power.-Relates to hydraulic power - transm i s s i o n clutches for motor-vehicles, of the kind in which a driving- member rotates a driven member at a variable speed according to the adjustment of a cock in passage of the liquid, and consists in employing two such clutches and providing means for varying their speed either equally or unequally by different movements of the same hand-lever. Fig. 1 shows a suitable clutch in section, Figs. 3 and 4 show diagrammatically the link-work for varying the speed, and Figs. 5 and 6 are detailed elevation and plan of part of the mechanism of Fig. 4. The clutch comprises a cylindrical casing b, within which is mounted the driving-member a, having radial slots e to receive blades f which are adapted to engage the walls of the casing. The blades f are guided by pins engaging grooves h in the casing, which are shaped so as to withdraw the blades as they pass the cock g. The slots e behind the blades are connected with each other and are filled with liquid. The annular space k is also filled with non-freezing liquid, and the speed of the driven member is controlled by adjusting the cock g. According to the invention, two clutches are used and are controlled by links u, u<1> hinged to a cross-head p adapted to slide in a grooved link q. The cross-head p is connected by a rod o to the lower end of an upright shaft 7, and the slotted link q is pivoted at t and is connected by a rod e to a lever r on the shaft l. Oscillation of the shaft l in a vertical plane produces an equal adjustment of the two clutches, while rotary motion about its own axis produces unequal adjustment and consequently a steering effect on the vehicle. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the links u, u<1> are connected at their inner ends to the cross-head p by ball-and-socket joints and at their outer ends by similar joints to levers Y, each provided with a collar 1 pivoted to a ring 2 adapted to slide a sleeve 4 operatively connected to the cock g. The part q<1> which is pivoted at t is guided at its outer end by a quadrant v.

Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 29,189. Angst, G. Jan. 17, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Undercarriages.-Motor-lorries &c. have a rocking chassis the pivoting point of which coincides with the axis of the transverse shaft that transmits the last reduction of speed to the driving-wheels. In chain-driven vehicles, the axis of the differential shaft 0 forms the pivoting point, as shown in Fig. 2. In "cardan driven" vehicles, with a hollow rear axle entirely enclosed in a gear case, the rocking rear chassis rests through springs upon the axle, and is provided with a bracket through which the axle passes. The front chassis is jointed to this bracket so that the parts supporting the springs are capable of swivelling about the axle, room being provided to permit the necessary play of the axle springs. A second arrangement consists in mounting the bearing of the cardan shaft on a collar embracing the gear case of the differential, as shown in Fig. 7. The gear case is supported by tension rods FG, HG. In "cardan driven" vehicles in which the box of the differential does not form the axle and the wheels are driven by pinions acting upon gearwheels fixed to the driving-wheels, the same arrangement as shown in Fig. 2 may be adopted, when there is no elastic suspension between the chassis and the differential box.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Turbines.
Inventor: SAYERS WILLIAM BROOKS
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1909-02-08
Abstract: 24,687. Sayers, W. B. Nov. 7. Elastic-fluid turbines. - Relates to the special construction of fixed and running blades for turbines of the kind in which the motive fluid is caused to follow a helical path partly in the periphery of the rotor, and partly in the adjacent surface of the stator. The rotor blades a are formed with curved outer edges, which are not symmetrical. The blades are bound together by a support n. The motive fluid enters the blades between the edges b c and is discharged between the edges d e, so that it follows an approximately semicircular path. The inlet portions of the blades form an angle a, Fig. 3, with a tangent to the rotor periphery ; this angle is less than the angle # formed by the outlet portions of the blades. The construction of the standing blades is such that the fluid emerging from a certain number of rotor blades is passed across to the inlet sides of rotor blades situated further forward. The direction of flow is indicated by arrows. The edges g h and i j are shaped similarly to the adjacent edges of the rotor buckets. The part situated between the points g i m, Fig 2, is approximately plane, radial, and centrally situated relatively to the rotor buckets. The part g h k is bent over and makes an acute angle with the periphery of the rotor. The part i j m is approximately radial. The distances between the standing blades increase progressively to alow for expansive working. Specification No. 297, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Abstract: 23,273. Clifton, E., and Wells, A. E. Oct. 31. Chromo-gelatine and like processes; colour photography.-Carbon tissue for use in colour photograpby contains, in place of the permanent pigment, a mixture of the permanent pigment and an inert supplementary pigment or dye, which -is opaque to white light and can be discharged by a solvent after or during development. The purpose is to obviate the tendency to. "print through " when using a pigment transparent to white light, particularly in the case of the blue print, for which a large quantity of blue pigment as compared with the gelatine is used to ensure that the print will leave its backing for developing, resulting in prints which are too heavy and overpower the other colours. For the blue tissue, finely ground peroxide of manganese is mixed with the Prussian blue, the quantity of the mixture used being the same. The manganese peroxide may be dissolved out after ordinary development by a weak solution of sulphurous acid. Peroxide of manganese may similarly be added to the red and yellow tissues.
