Patent GB-190707293-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Locks.
Inventor: HIPKINS WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-03-27
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 7293. Hipkins, W. E., and Folkes, G. E. March 27. Indicators, "'engaged."- '1'he door bolt h of a watercloset &c. door is withdrawn by an outside handle e after a coin has been inserted to form a connexion between the bolt and the plate g to which the handle e is fixed. The bolt is provided with a rear extension h<2> entering guides a<2> on the case, between which guides is also mounted the spring - controlled stop j, so that on the retraction of the bolt the stop is pushed inwards. The vertically-moving indicator plate k is kept in the raised or " vacant " position against the action of the spring t by means of a projection g<1> on the end of the plate g engaging the shoulder k<3>, Fig. 14, thereon. On the initial opening of the door, when both the plate g and the bolt h are withdrawn into the casing, the plate k is released from the projection g<1> but is still kept raised by the plate g, which passes under the shoulder k<3>, until the knob e is released, when the plate g and bolt resume their natural positions, the indicator plate k then resting on the spring stop j. When the door is slammed, the bolt alone is pushed in ; this pushes the stop from under the indicator plate, which drops to its " engaged" position, and at the same time the part above the shoulder k<3> enters into the recess g<4> of the plate g and locks it in position, thus preventing any movement of the outside handle. As a safeguard, the auxiliary bolt n may be shot from inside. This bolt is connected to a lever p, which, on the bolt being shot, presses back the stopj and also the plate g slightly, to ensure the release of the indicator plate. The socket in the door jamb for the bolt n is provided with an incline which automatically presses back the bolt as the door is opened. The door is unfastened from inside by means of a handle on the spindle l, which operates a lever m engaging a pin h<3> on the bolt h and also a pin k<2> on the indicator plate k so as to raise this to its initial position above the projection g<1> of the plate g. On the door being slammed, therefore, all the parts are ready for the next operation. In a modification, in place of retaining the indicator plate in its raised position by means of the projection g<1>, a lever x, Fig. 23, is employed co-operating with a notch k<6> in the plate, and with a projection on the plate g.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Construction of Turbines for Steam or other Elastic Pressure Fluids.
Inventor: CLARK WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-06-17
Granted: 1908-06-17
Abstract: 13,921. Clark, W. June 17. Elastic-fluid turbines.-A hollow cylindrical or conoidal drum carries a series of outward-flow blades which co-operate with standing blades fixed to the casing. The motive fluid flows in a serpentine manner, along the turbine. A multiple leakage-preventing device is arranged at the highpressure end of the drum, and the fluid which leaks past this device is utilized in the lower-pressure stages. Ring packings prevent the leakage of steam at the spaces between the fixed and running blades. At each stage a ring l, Fig. 1, without ports, and a ring o with ports p, are secured to the drum a. Held between these rings is a ring m, Figs. 1 and 3, in which are curved ports n, which form the rotor blades. A series of complete rings r, and rings q with ports t, holding blades s, are secured to the casing. Working fluid is admitted by way of a pipe e, passes through the first series of ports p, flows outwardly through the running blades n and standing blades s, and passes longitudinally through the ports t. Thence it flows inwardly to the next set of ports p, when the above cycle of operations is repeated. The number of ports n may increase progressively at each stage to allow for the expansion of the working fluid. The fluid is finally exhausted through a pipe f. At the high-pressure end of the drum a, leakage is minimized by packing-rings g, g<1> which are held in rings h, h<1> secured to the casing. Fluid which escapes past these packings is led away by pipes j, j<1> to be utilized at the lower pressure stages. Packing-rings u prevent the fluid from flowing between the rings o, r. The fluid pressure assists the action of the rings u. The ports n may be on the stator and the blades s on the rotor, the direction of flow of the motive fluid being reversed.

Patent GB-190812453-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Reeding Machines
Inventor: SCHULER OTTO
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 12,453. Schuler, O., and Glaser, R. June 9. Loom reeds, drawing warp threads through.-In reeding-machines for warping or harnessing looms, the threading-knife 21, Fig. 2, is connected by screws and spacing-collars to a link 21<a> reciprocated by lever mechanism 19, 36 from a crank-disk 35 on a shaft driven from the shaft 30, which is rotated by a pulley and belt 37 from an electric motor. The link 21<a> is pivoted to a lever 18, so as to have a substantially parallel motion, but has a slot 23 in which the linking-pin of the lever 19 fits, so that the lever 19 may be rocked into the position shown in dotted lines. A bell-crank 64, 63 is normally depressed by means of a spring 72, Figs. 2 and 4, and a lever 69, so that an insulated contact-piece 65 may make contact with terminals 67 in the circuit of the electric motor, which is thus put into action to drive the machine, the driving-belt 37 being also tightened by means of an idle pulley 71 to enable the belt pulley to be driven. The link 21<a> and knife 21, normally kept in their lower positions by a spring, are then reciprocated and the knife 21 enters between the reed dents 12 which have been separated by a disk 53 on a spindle 48. A notch 27 in the knife 21 then engages the bent arm 63 and rocks the bell-crank 6, 64, so that the contact 65 is removed from the terminals 67 and the motor stops. The belt 37 is simultaneously slackened, and the threading-knife comes to rest in the position shown. The operative then puts a thread 26 into the slot 25 of the knife 21, rocks the knife into the position shown in the dotted lines, and thus releases the arm 63, so that the bell-crank 63, 64 can rock into position to put the machine into action again. The knife then draws the thread between the dents of the reed, and, at a predetermined point in its inward movement, an arm 60, 60<a> on a shaft 56 removes the thread from the knife. The knife then moves into the position shown in full lines under spring action, and the actions described recommence. The spiral reed-dent separator 53, Figs. 7 and 8, has one of the overlapping edges 54 thickened and offset, and successively separates the dents. Moreover, the portion 54<a> of the disk remote from the edges 54 is somewhat thickened to separate the threads to an adequate extent. A spring on the shaft 7, Fig. 2, abutting against a bracket 6 and against the reed-carrying carriage 8 moves this carriage forwards as the reed spaces are successively threaded. The reed carriage may be moved by the cam-surface 4 on a hand-operated shaft 3 into or out of engagement with the dentseparating disk. A guard-plate 76 for the warps extends over the reed-separator disk, and a notched knife guard 80 directs the knife between the spread dents of the reed. The carriage is provided with separable jaws 9, 10 for the reed, these jaws having grooves 9<a>, 10<a> for the transverse ribs 14<a> used for separating and spacing the dents.
