Abstract: 10,317. Mershon, R. D. May 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act. 1907]. Insulators for high-tension conductors are built up, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, of a number of insulating units 3, preferably of porcelain or of glass, formed into a framed structure, the members of which are arranged substantially in triangles, such that the strains in the units are chiefly those of direct compression or of tension. The upper parts of the units are secured to caps 6 attached to a clamp 2 for holding the conductor 1, and the lower parts 4 are attached to the top of the supporting- tower 5. Instead of making the units of large diameter at the middle and with flanges they may, as shown in Fig. 8, be made in the form of cylinders 13, 17 which can be stayed at points of equal potential by metallic tie bars 16, or instead of the units being made each in one piece, they may be built up, as shown in Figs. 5, 7, and 10, by cementing several pieces 9 together, special junction pieces 11, which may be provided with petticoats, being used if necessary.

Patent GB-190825740-A (GB)
Title: Improved Cutting Machine for Meat.
Inventor: HIRSCHHAUT WIGDOR
Filed: 1908-11-28
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 25,740. Hirschhaut, W. Nov. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Slicing meat &c.-A machine for slicing meat &c. comprises a rotary reciprocating circular knife and a meat carriage, which is intermittently fed towards the knife by an endless rope &c. attached to the carriage and actuated by pliers mounted on an oscillating lever. The knife l is reciprocated and revolved by means of a lever i pivoted to the frame and oscillated by a reciprocating bolt f, which is actuated by a hand-wheel a through links b, c, d. The spindle of the knife carries a pinion m, which engages a rack n on the frame during the reciprocation of the lever i and thus revolves the knife. During the return stroke of the knife, the bolt f strikes the end p<1> of a two-armed lever p pivoted at o and carrying pliers p<2> at the other end. The movement of the lever p causes the pliers to travel up an inclined surface s, and thus to close on a rope v attached to the meat carriage and to move the carriage forward towards the knife. The pliers are held in the forward position by a catch t<3>, on a lever t pivoted at t<1>, until the lever i in its forward movement strikes a projection t<2> on the lever t and thus releases the pliers, which are then forced back to the initial position by the pressure of the arm s on a spring attached to the lever p. During this movement a spring between the free ends of the pliers holds the pliers out of engagement with the rope v. The extent of the movement of the pliers, and therefore the thickness of slice, is regulated by a lever r, which is pivoted to the frame at r<1> and is fixed in position by a screw r<4>. A projection r<2> on the end of this lever engages the lever p in its initial position, and by moving the lever r so as to change the position of the end r<2> the stroke of the lever p and of the pliers p<2> is varied.

Patent GB-190911840-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Combined Temperature Indicating and Regulating Apparatus for Gaseous Fuel Furnaces.
Inventor: MACHLET GEORGE
IPC: F23L15/02
Filed: 1909-05-19
Granted: 1910-06-20
Abstract: 11,840. Machlet, G. May 19. Burners, regulating and controlling. - A thermoelectric apparatus for controlling the supply of gaseous fuel and air to furnaces for annealing, hardening, or otherwise treating metal and other articles, melting metal, &c. consists of a thermo-electric element affecting by its current an indicating-devicewhich operates gas and air controlling means. Pines 1, 2 supply gas and air, respectively, to the valve casing 3. The outlet gas and' air pipes 4, 5 unite in a pipe 7, which conveys the mixture to the furnace burners. When a solenoid 49 is energized by the current from a battery 60, air passes from the supply-pipe 2 to the diaphragm chamber 47 and lifts the valve, but, when the solenoid is de-energized, its core drops, cutting off the air supply to the chamber 47 and permitting air to vent from it, thus causing the valve to close. The thermo-electrical element 65 is arranged partly in the furnace heating-chamber, and actuates a volt-meter or galvanometer 67, on the scale of which is indicated the furnace temperature, or the current, or both. The index 69 rotates with the wires &c. 68 of the volt-meter upon a pin 77, which is pivoted on a seat 77<a>, and is provided with a contact 73 to which is secured a wire 72. This is hooked into an eye upon a metal plate fastened to the volt-meter casing &c. and carrying a terminal to which is secured the wire 71. Mounted so as to turn concentrically with the index, is a metal arm 75 terminating in a bent end 74, forming a contact which may be set and secured by a nut 78 at any desired point on the instrument scale corresponding to the temperature to which it is desired to heat the furnace. The wire 71 is connected to an electro-magnet 79, the coil of which may be made of resistance wire, and wires 79<b>, 71<a>, make a connexion with the battery. At starting, the current flows through the solenoid 49, thus opening the valve and allowing the passage of gas and air to the furnace. As the furnace becomes hotter, the index 69 swings over, and ultimately the contacts 73, 74 meet. The electro-magnet 79 is energized and the circuit of the valve-controlling solenoid is broken by the movement of the switch arm 61. The valve then shuts off wholly or partly the air and gas supplies. The furnace cools and consequently the contacts 73, 74 separate; the circuit through the electro-magnet 79 is broken, the spring 62 closes the switch 61, the current again flows through the valve-operating solenoid, and the valve opens to supply gas and air to the furnace, which is thus maintained at an approximate constant temperature.
