Patent GB-191026534-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Observation of Gas Caps and Testing Miner's Safety Lamps.
Inventor: OLDHAM ORLANDO
IPC: G01N25/54
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 26,534. Oldham, O. Nov. 15. Miners' safety lamps. - Relates to portable self-contained apparatus for enclosing miners' safety lamps for the observation of the gas caps shown by different lamps in known mixtures of gas and air, for the purpose of educating students or miners. The apparatus is mounted on a platform j, and comprises a lamp chamber a having three sides of glass, an opening i at the bottom for the escape of gas, and a casing g in which gas and air are mixed before entering the chamber. The casing g is supplied with air by a pipe a' and a regulatable motor-driven fan b, and with coal gas by a pipe f having a governor e and a water-gauge r. The casing g discharges the mixed gas and air into the lamp chamber by means of a series of graduated burner nipples which discharge gas at a known rate. The apparatus is standardized by regulating the gas and air until 7 per cent of firedamp is present, as shown by the behaviour of a lighted unbonneted clanny lamp placed in the chamber a. The chamber a may communicate at the bottom end with an horizontal chamber leading to a second vertical chamber, so that lamps may be observed in horizontal or upward currents of gas. A flared ventilating-tube is placed over the open end of the vertical tube, and a hinged door may act as a safety-valve in case of explosion.

Title: Friction Drive for Power Presses.
Inventor: HEATON HERBERT
IPC: F16D67/02
Filed: 1910-12-21
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 29,628. Heaton, H., and Hartley, E., [trading as Heaton & Hartley]. Dec. 21. Presses, mechanical.-In metal-stamping and other power presses, the driving is so effected that power of regulated amount can be applied and released instantly, a brake coming into action only when the power is released. A sleeve B, movably keyed to a sleeve O keyed to the operating-shaft S, is provided at each end with racks R meshing with pinions P<Î> carrying shafts P furnished with right and left handed threads adapted to expand or contract split friction rings C operating in friction sleeves C<1>, C<2>, attached to the fly-wheel A and to the frame of the machine respectively. The power is applied by means of a treadle-actuated lever M engaging a catch-arm F depending from a lever D provided with a forked arm engaging the sleeve B. A stud F<2> on the sleeve C<1> deflects the arm F after one revolution of the shaft S, and a spring E acting on the lever D causes the sleeve B to move to the left, releasing the power and, by expanding the split ring within the casing C<2>, applying the brake. By regulating the depression of the lever M, the power can be adjusted. The shafts P<1>, Fig. 3, of the pinions P<Î> engage with nuts N which can be adjusted to take up wear, the nuts being graduated to ensure even setting.

Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 11,598. Orr, C. R., [Ashworth, S. H., and Cunningham, C. S.]. May 13. Feeding webs.-A stop-motion for cloth inspecting and measuring machines consists of a pivoted blade 5 held in adjustable brackets 6 over a table 2, over which the cloth is fed. The blade 5 is normally held against a stop 7 by a hammer 8 resting against a crank-pin 10. When a knot or lump passes, it raises the blade 5 and turns the hammer 8 past the vertical, whereupon it falls and knocks the lever 11 out of the catch 12, by acting on an elbow 16, putting out the clutch through the lever 15. The hammer then rests against a stop 17, and must be raised before the machine can be restarted. Alternatively, the blade 5 may be carried by elbow-levers 18, Fig. 6, the arms 20 of which are adjusted in position by screws 22.

Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 18,925. Wetter, J., [Ges. f³r Maschinen und Metall-Industrie]. Aug. 23. Arc lamps.-In a multiple inclined-electrode lamp, simultaneous lateral separation or approach of the electrodes in every pair, and also the operation of one or more clutches, are controlled by a single device such as an electromagnet. A plate i, Fig. 1, may surround the laterally-movable electrodes, and may be pivoted to an arm on a vertical shaft l. At least one electrode of each pair is engaged by a separate or common gravity clutch, pivoted to a stationary part and to a vertical disengaging- rod. The vertical shaft l and the disengaging- rod may be actuated by the electro - magnet. The descent of electrodes which are not required for immediate use is prevented by a lever q having a tooth s which engages a feed-chain d<1> until the lever is raised by the counterweight f of a burnt-out pair. Each electrode-holder is guided by an inclined flat bar g, Figs. 1 and 5, surrounded by a loop or a sleeve on the holder. Narrow edges of the bars for a pair of electrodes face each other. Feed-chains connecting each pair of electrodes to its counterweight pass over pairs of pulleys e arranged as shown in Fig. 4, so that the counterweights are outside the planes of the electrodes. Pole-pieces for an arc-deflecting electro-magnet u, u<1>, Figs. 1 and 3, have curved parts w around the electrodes and overlapping parts between them, the arc or arcs being thus kept vertical. The pole-pieces may be of different thicknesses in different parts. Specification 22,454/08 is referred to.
