Patent GB-190711921-A (GB)
Title: Improved Manufacture of Furniture Handles, Hat Hooks and the like from Wire.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1907-05-22
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 11,921. Bloxam, A. G., [T³mmler, R., (Firm of)]. May 22. Handles &c.-Furniture handles, hat-hooks, &c. are made by bending wire instead of by casting. Wire is bent to the shape shown in Fig. 5, and then stamped at right-angles to the plane of bending to flatten and emboss it, as shown in Figs. 6 and 19. To avoid fins in pressing, the wire is given an oval section by stamping, and then bent afterwards. Where sharp corners occur, as shown in Fig. 22, the wire is pressed to the section shown in Fig. 22<a> during bending, and then when stamped in direction at right-angles to the bending, the sharp corners are unaltered. In another method, illustrated in Fig. 32, the wire is doubled at the corners by bending ; or dies may be used to upset portions of the wire, as shown in Figs. 16 and 18,

Title: Electric Fire and Burglar Alarm Automatic or otherwise Portable or otherwise
Inventor: YATES JOHN
Filed: 1907-06-29
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 15,050. Yates, J. June 29. Alarms, burglar.-In an automatic or non- automatic and portable or non-portable electric fire and burglar alarm apparatus, inflammable yarns attached at one end to the hook D of the alarm-box shown in Fig. 1 are led to the rooms, doors, windows, or articles to be protected, and are pulled taut around suitable supports by means of a screw or other adjusting device, so as to hold a spring-pressed rod H away from a contact F. When the yarn is burnt, broken, or slackened, contact is made at F, and a current flows from a battery C through the contact F, a switch B, and a bell A back to the battery. The bell A then continues to ring until the switch B is turned off. Subsidiary inflammable yarns may be suspended from the main yarn and may be pulled by an occupant of the room to ring the bell A. A Push G, connected to a length of wire which can be unwound from a reel in the alarm-box, may be used to ring the bell A for domestic purposes, the circuit for the push G being independent of the switch B and contact F.

Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 16,958. Gamage, H. C. July 24. Lubricators.- Railwayvehicle axles, shafts, &c. are lubricated by means of an endless belt in contact with the axle &c. A plate 4 supported on springs 5 has at each end a vertical plate 6, stiffened by a stay - web 7, and formed with a slot 10 in which is a sliding bearing 11. A spring 12 passing through the bearing 11 engages under tubular bearings 8, 9, in which are journaled polygonal rollers 13, 14 made of spiral wire. Passing round the rollers 13, 14 is an endless belt 16 formed of metal links 17, 18, the lower part of which is pressed down by a cylindrical wire roller 15 mounted in the bearings 11, so that the belt is tightened and held in contact with the journal 1. A cap 19 on the end of the journal carries a fixed rod, connected by toothed gearing within a case 25 to an extension 37 of the axle of the roller 13, by means of which the belt is caused to travel at a speed less than that of the surface of the journal 1. The lower part of the belt 16 is immersed in lubricant, which is deposited on the journal by the links of the belt. The flexible nature of the whole device enables it. to be readily inserted in an axle-box.

Title: Process for the Manufacture of Hydrogen Peroxide
Inventor: FISCHER FRANZ
Filed: 1907-09-19
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 20,868. Fischer, F. Oct. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydrogen peroxide is obtained by moving a source of heat and a mixture of steam and gases, for example air, but preferably oxygen, or steam alone, relatively to each other at a speed of at least one metre per second. The source of heat may be incandescent solid substances, voltaic arcs, or a series of sparks. When the product is cooled a solution of hydrogen peroxide condenses. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the use of flames of burning gases, for example hydrogen, as the source of heat ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-190723868-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Shock Absorbers
Inventor: KIDDER WELLINGTON PARKER
Filed: 1907-10-29
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 23,868. Kidder, W. P. Oct. 29. Springs.-In a shock-absorber for vehicles, of the type in which a cam acts upon a spring-pressed member so that a progressive resistance is opened to the abnormal movements of the bearing-spring while free vibration is allowed within normal limits, the cam is formed with parabolical surfaces so that the resistance varies continuously during its operation. In the form shown in Fig 1, a hub 4 fixed to the vehicle body 2 is formed with a socket 6, which receives a plunger consisting of two parallel legs 8, 9 and a rounded head 7. The plunger is pressed by springs 10, 11 into contact with a cam-member 12, mounted upon the hub 4 and connected to the axle by a link 25. The cam-surface of the member 12 consists of a central cylindrical portion 15 and two end portions 16, 17 of steeper or parabolical curvature. During the excessive movements of the bearing-spring 3, the surfaces 16, 17 come into play, whereby the springs 10, 11 are compressed, the friction between the plunger and the cam is increased, and friction is set up between one of the legs 8, 9 of the plunger and the socket due to the angularity of the pressure upon the plunger. Further, the leverage of the link 25 is diminished as the link moves towards the dead-centre position. A dust-cover is fitted over the cam-member 12. In a modified form, the plunger is actuated by a cam 30, Fig. 6, attached to a cover-plate 31, which is connected to the axle by a link 35. The cam rocks upon a central pin 38, and the tension of the plunger spring may be adjusted by a screw 39. In another form, the plunger consists of a recessed disk 43, Figs. 7 and 8, mounted upon a fixed squared stud 61 and formed with projections 46, 47, which engage with a rotary cam-portion 48. The cam-surfaces consist of parabolical inclines 51, 52, Fig. 9, connected at the centre by plane surfaces 50, 54. The cam-portion 48 is formed with a lug 55, which is linked to the axle. The chambers in which the operating-parts are located may be filled with lubricant.

Title: Improvements in Diaphragm Condersers, especially adapted for the purpose of Wireless Telephony.
Inventor: BURSTYN WALTHER
IPC: H03C5/00
Filed: 1909-04-02
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 7906. Burstyn, W. April 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Condensers used in wireless telephony have their capacity varied by electro -static forces brought into action by means of a microphone influenced by the sound waves. The Figure shows the application of the telephone to wireless telephony. The flexible diaphragm e, Fig. 1, of the telephone is arranged between two fixed disks a, b so that, when the microphone m varies the potential acting on the portion b, e of the condenser, the diaphragm e vibrates and produces corresponding changes in the capacity of the antenna-system. The diaphragm may be made of wire netting, and the condenser may be enclosed in a vacuum or in a light gas, such as hydrogen. A number of separate diaphragms and plates separated by insulating rings may be mounted in a pile, the various elements of the condenser being connected in parallel. Specification 13,678/05 is referred to.

Abstract: 9043. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. April 16. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to means for firing breech-loading guns using fixed ammunition, and consists in causing the flash from a primer, at the outer end of the axial vent in the breech screw, to enter the cartridge case through an opening which is not provided with the usual primer. The cartridge case E, Fig. 1, which is hermetically sealed prior to its insertion in the gun, has a detachable plug E' provided with a ball-valve obturator e<2>, which allows the flash from the primer F to enter the cartridge, but which acts as a non-return valve for the powder gases when firing takes place. An auxiliary cup gas-check E <Î> is also provided, which is compressed when the breech is closed. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the auxiliary gas-check is formed by a conical projection B<1> on the breech-screw, which fits a conical recess in the plug E' when the breech is dosed. A similar arrangement is also shown in Fig. 5, but in this case a copper plate E<2>, which hermetically seals the cartridge case, is ruptured when the breech is closed. The vent G may be bored in the breech screw as shown in Fig. 1, or it may be formed in a bolt secured to the breech screw.
