Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 15,303. Schmidt, H. July 6, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Spark - arresters. - In apparatus of the type containing conical or like sieves suspended in a chimney, the sieves are divided vertically into two parts which overlap but have an opening between them. As shown in Fig. 2, the two parts c, d form shields for, and are of larger mesh than, the conical sieve a. Sparks which are small enough to pass through the shields c, d, but are unable to pass through the conical sieve a, are thus able to fall back into the chimney and prevent choking of the spark-arrester. The conical sieve a may be similarly divided.

Patent GB-190722163-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Hub Free-wheel Mechanism for Cycles.
Inventor: POWELL WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-10-08
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 22,163. Powell, W. Oct. 8. Brakes; driving-mechanism.-In a hub free-wheel driving-mechanism for cycles, a ring moving with friction upon or within a non-rotatable part is formed with an inclined surface to cause a pawl carried by the sprocketwheel to engage ratchet teeth upon the hub. As shown in Fig. 1, a ring h, which by reason of a spring-pressed ball moves with friction upon a fixed cone d<1>, has an inclined surface to cause a pawl g carried by the sprocketring f to engage ratchet teeth e<1> upon the hub. A light spring may be provided to retain the pawl in contact with the drag-ring when the pawl is inoperative, while to facilitate the movement of the pawl, balls or rollers may be placed between it and the inclined surface, or in either of them. To allow the machine to be wheeled backwards without the pedals being disturbed, the ratchet teeth or the point of the pawl towards the ratchet teeth may be bevelled. As an alternative construction, an external ring of ratchet teeth upon the hub may be arranged within a drag-ring moving with friction upon a non-rotating part, such as a drum attached to the frame. Figs. 3 and 4 show a coaster hub with back-pedalling brake mechanism ; in this construction, the driving-ring 9 carries a pawl 11 for applying the brake and a pawl 10 for effecting the drive, the drag-ring 12 with inclined surfaces 15,16 being arranged with a spring-pressed piece 13 to move with friction upon the brake ratchetring 4. This ring carries a stud 3 to apply a brake p in the manner described in Specification No. 28,087, A.D. 1904. The teeth of the driving ratchet-ring 6, or, as shown at 17, the pawl 10, may be bevelled to ensure that the machine may be wheeled backwards without disturbing the cranks. The pawls may be provided with light springs, and more than one pair of pawls may be used. The driving ratchet-ring is fixed to a centre-piece 5 screwed into the hub.
