Title: An Improved Machine for Making and Pressing Firelighters, Briquettes, Bricks, Tiles, and other Goods.
Inventor: DUXBURY THOMAS
Filed: 1906-05-08
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 10,717. Duxbury, T. May 8. Moulding fuel, bricks, tiles, &c.-From a single charge of material in the mould, a plurality of fire-lighters, briquettes, bricks, or tiles are produced as parts of an indented slab from which they can be easily broken, or as parts of indented strips formed in a divided mould. In making the slab, the upper plunger 12 is formed with two series of indentation-producing projections at right-angles to one another. In formiog the strips, partition plates 16 are fitted in grooves 8<11>, 9" in the casings 8, 9 forming the sides of the mould ,and the plunger 12 besides having projections 12<1> is deeply recessed, as in also the bottom-plate 6, to fit over the plates 16. The plate 6 is raised and lowered by the cam 3, acting on a roller 4 and frame 7, a bulge on this cam serving to raise the plate and produce an extra pressure after the plate with the charge from the box 18 has been lowered from its highest to its lowest position in the mould. The plungers &c. may be steam-heated, and to prevent strain springs 14<1> are interposed on the rods 14 connecting the plunger 12 to its actuating crank-plates.

Title: Method of and Means for Sealing Electric Conductors into or through Glass or like Vitreous Material.
Inventor: BASTIAN CHARLES ORME
Filed: 1906-09-04
Granted: 1907-10-04
Abstract: 19,709. Bastian, C. O., and Calvert, G. Sept. 4. Incandescent lamps; vacuum tubes.- Leading-in wires of copper or a copper alloy, for incandescent lamps, mercury-vapour lamps, &c., are sealed into glass or other vitreous material after previous coating with a metallic salt, such as lead chloride, which prevents oxidation. A phosphor-bronze wire, for example, may be dipped into fused lead chloride at those parts which are to come into contact with the glass. The metallic salt employed preferably has a cleansing action on the wire, and may be adapted to remove occluded gases, or the sealing may be conducted in a stream of gas which will remove them. According to the Provisional Specification, the metallic salt may be dispensed with, preferably when alloys having the same coefficient of expansion as glass are used, sealing taking place in a stream of hydrogen or other inert gas which keeps the wire clean. It is stated that leading-in wires of silicon-bronze, nickel-iron, and iron may be used, as well as various fusible salts. It is also stated that the coating may be applied to the glass instead of to the wire.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Controllers or Switches
Inventor: ATKINSON CLAUDE WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-03-22
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 6925. Atkinson, C. W. March 22. Switches.-A controller comprises a series of elements each consisting of a central spindle carrying a projecting cam d. About the shaft a is loosely mounted a sleeve e having a portion of its circumference cut away to permit the cam d to have a certain. amount of free play. Upon the sleeve e is mounted a segmental shield g. On the handle being turned, the bevelled cam d bears against the lever j, closing the switch by means of the toggle-link k ; when the handle is further turned, the sleeve e rotates with it, and the shield g holds the switch closed. On rotating in the opposite direction, the cam d first takes up the lost motion, and then moves the segment g until the lever is freed ; the switch then opens by means of a spring m, which is preferably arranged as shown to open the switch and to keep the arm j pressed against the cam d. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 2, the switch arm has an angular end and bears against a spring contact-plate p. In building up a controller, several such switches are mounted on the shaft a, the angular width of the shield being varied so that the switches may close in succession.

Title: Device for Automatically Releasing Crane Skips or Buckets
Inventor: PENN BERTRAM HARLEY
Filed: 1908-04-22
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 8796. Penn, B. H. April 22. Skips, tip-boxes, and tip-buckets.-Comprises a tipping-device for skips which enables a skip to be automatically tipped during the necessary descent of the load without requiring any separate action or special attention on the part of the driver. The skip is carried by trunnions and is locked in an upright position by a detent C, which is actuated by a trigger T through a rod H, bell-crank lever K, and spring rod R. The bucket is lowered until the annular weight W, which can be adjusted at any desired height, engages the trigger T and releases the detent so that the bucket tips. When the bucket is empty, it rights itself again and is automatically locked by the detent, which is forced down by the counterweighted bell-crank K. The rod R, as shown, is made in two parts, one of which slides in the other and is controlled by a spring, so that, when the trigger is forced down by the weight W on raising the skip, the rod may lengthen without affecting the detent. The annular weight is guided, when the skip approaches it, by the plates P, Q on the skip bridle. In another arrangement, the work R is pivoted between the plates P and its sliding part is connected directly to the inner end of the trigger T. The trigger is kept in an horizontal position by springs above and below the sliding part of the rod R, and transmits its motion in one direction to the detent C by a flexible connexion.
