Granted: 1909-02-22
Abstract: 3896. Gray, J. Feb. 21. Drilling.-A drill D, Fig. 1, such as an electric or pneumatic drill, is carried on an arm H, Fig. 2, balanced about a rod a<1> which is supported in centres by two parallel arms R, one of which carries a balance weight W<2>. The arms R are pivoted to a bar carried between centres k', so as to lie parallel to two arms of a rightangled frame F, the other arms of which, upright in the position shown, carry a thrust plate P. The frame F and with it the linkage supporting the drill can be turned through a right-angle in a vertical plane by turning a screw E' on which works a nut a<3>. A distance-piece K<2> attached to the frame carries rollers working over a quadrant guide q<7>. The feed-screw of the drill is normally held clear of the thrust plate by a roller u<1> carried by an arm fixed to the frame F and pressing on a plate q<1> fixed to one of the arms R. In a modified construction, the upright arm of the frame F is omitted, and the thrust of the drill is taken by an arm S<a>, Fig. 4, pivoted to brackets K<3> fixed to the horizontal part of the frame F ; the feed-screw engages with a shoe SS sliding on the arm. The construction may be further modified by omitting the parts for adjusting the spindle in a vertical plane. The machine then remains a balanced horizontal or vertical drill, as the case may be.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Indicators for Obtaining Diagrams of Steam and other Engines.
Inventor: MOWER GEORGE AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1908-03-13
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 5656. Mower, G. A., and Gill, J. F. March 13. Registering by electric action on record surface; steam-engine indicators.-In a steam or other engine indicator, the diagram is produced by the electric perforation of the paper. To the piston b of the pressure cylinder is attached a rod d provided with a series of teeth e, each of which may make contact with one of the metal strips i<2>, which with the separating insulating-material i<3> form a laminated plate i. The contact points e are of different pitch to the metal strips i<2>, so that (as on a vernier) a limited movement of the piston b causes the metal strips to be brought into contact in succession. A second laminated plate i<4>, similar in construction to the plate i, is arranged at right-angles to the front plate i and separated therefrom by the diagram paper. A second series of teeth e<1> makes contact with the metal strips in the plate i<4> in succession when reciprocated by the movement of the engine. A battery and sparking-coil are connected so that the current entering the instrument by a binding-screw and a spring j passes through one of the teeth e<1> to a corresponding metal strip in the plate i<4>. The currant then sparks through the paper to one of the metal strips i', thence through one of the teeth e, the rod d, and the casing of the apparatus, back to the battery and coil. The teeth e may be secured directly to the rod d, or they may be attached thereto by springs s, as shown in Fig. 5. The teeth e<1> may be similarly mounted.

Title: Improvements in Range-finders and the like.
Inventor: DYER REGINALD EDWARD HARRY
Filed: 1908-12-12
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 27,022. Dyer, R. E. H. Dec. 12. Range-finders.-Relates to improvements in range-finders of the class in which a telescope or like instrument f is used in conjunction with one or more mirrors d, e, set at an angle of substantially 45 degrees on a base bar A, and more particularly of the type described in Specifications Nos. 9559 and 21,456, A.D. 1908. Inside the telescope f is mounted a scale h, Fig. 3, having ranges marked on it. The object is sighted by reflection in one mirror d, the image being made to coincide with the zero line l; it is then sighted in the other mirror e, the amount of displacement on the scale giving the range. In the type in which only one mirror is used, the object is first sighted directly on the line l, the telescope is then turned through exactly 90 degrees and the object viewed by reflection in the mirror; the lateral displacement gives the range. The mirrors or mirror and telescope are placed on pivoted supports, and means are provided for bringing these supports into parallelism should they have become displaced ; holes p<1>, Fig. 4, are cut through the supports m, n and cut away at v, a metal wire q is passed through these holes and, by tightening up this wire by the fly-nut t, the supports are brought into correct parallelism. A method of manipulating the instrument to obtain the equivalent of a longer base is described. For checking the range by a sensitive means, the upper bar is pivoted at c<2> below the mirror d<3> to the lower bar instead of at the other end, and as the bars are separated, means are provided for constraining the telescope f<3> to move along the chord of separation; thus the separation of the bars, as shown in Fig. 7, may be twice as great for the same angular movement of the telescope.

Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 207. Cain, E. M. Jan. 17, 1908, [Convention date]. Track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains; audible signals.-A whistle on the semaphore post is actuated by a passing train which closes an electric switch by deflexion of the rails and energizes an electro-magnet controlling a valve to pass air from a reservoir to the whistle. The pipe 9 is connected to an air-main and, in the normal position of the valve 11, supplies air to the tank 6. The valve 9 is held, by a spiral spring around its spindle, in its normal position but is moved, against the resistance of the spring, by the electro-magoet 18, to connect the reservoir 6 to the whistle 7. Whistles of different tone are provided for each semaphore. The switch for operation by the train is shown in Fig. 6, and comprises a depressible plate 23 carrying an insulated contact-pin 30. The plate 23 is supported on a gasket 24 on a box 22, to which the plate 23 may be pivoted, so as to be depressed by the train when over the box, and the contact 30 thereby engages the pin 31, which is supported on, and insulated from, a spring 34. The supporting-member for the pin 31 moves in vertical guides, and its upward motion is limited by adjusting-screws 39. The upward movement of the plate 23 may be limited by a screw and nut 44. The drawings accompanying the Specification in its original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), show a form of contact apparatus on the track, Fig. 6 (cancelled), which, however, is not described. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 11,387. Loibl, C. May 13. Mattresses are constructed so as to be noiseless in use, and so as to obviate the transmission of stress from the body of the mattress to the resilient edges thereof, and vice versa. Resilient loops hare arranged between the body and edges of the mattress, and resilient clips k are used for removably securing the springs i to the wires a, b, c, d and the transverse wires b to the side pair of the wires a, which may be made integral. with the springs f. Ordinary cord or string with a core consisting of string spun over with wire may replace the wires a. Single or double loops h may be formed at suitable places in the wires a, b, or in the wires b only and preferably between the first two rows of springs i at each side of the mattress. When the springs i are dispensed with, double loops h, Figs. 4 and 14, are formed with hooks h<1> and transverse yokes or the like h<2> engaging the chain net or web and the resilient edges respectively. The springs i are closed at both ends, so that their lower coils may be made large to enable the springs to resist lateral bulging. To secure a spring, the clip k is mounted with its coil l disposed on the spring i, and is so turned and simultaneously twisted from the position shown in Fig. 11, that the hook n engages the wire a, and the coil l embraces the wires a, i. The hook n on the long lever end of the clip is then engaged with the wire a, as shown in Fig. 13.
