Patent GB-190700535-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Workmen's and like Time Recorders.
Inventor: MACMASTER PETER
Filed: 1907-01-08
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 535. Macmaster, P. Jan. 8. Date and time printing stamps.-Relates to means controlled by the clock and operated by the clock or by a separate motor, for shifting the two-colour ink ribbon in time-recording machines for workmen. A rocking shaft 9 has arms 10 for moving the ink-ribbon spindles 11 and has an arm 8 linked to a crank 5 on a shaft geared to a pinion K, which may carry the actuating spring drum, an equal pinion J geared thereto carrying a notched disk G, which is allowed to perform a half-revolution at a time when the locking-arm C is raised against the spring W by the tripping-pins B in the twentyfour-hour wheel A. A stop wheel O on a shaft geared to the cam-disk shaft carries a pin P normally held by a stop Q on the arm S, but, on the latter being raised by the tripping-lever C, the pin engages a second stop R, and on the tripping-pin clearing the lever C the arm S is lowered by the spring W till the stop pin P clears the stop R, whereupon the cam-disk G raises the lever C and performs a half-revolution controlled by the fly Y, the arm S being held clear of the stop P till the lever C drops into the next notch of the disk G. In a modification, the ribbon spools may be mounted in a carriage shifted by the rocking shaft and the pinion K may be driven by the clock, or by an electric or hydraulic motor, or by a weight. Specifications Nos. 6200 and 12,634, A.D. 1905, are referred to.

Abstract: 14,178. Drummond, C. S. June 19. Air, supplying.-In a boiler or other furnace in which the fuel is burnt on an imperforate surface, air for combustion is supplied through channels in the furnace wall opening beneath the level of the fuel. The air passes into an annular channel ; formed between the casting a and the outer furnace wall d, or wholly.in the casting as shown in Fig. 4, and is delivered into the furnace through downwardly directed passages h, which open beneath the level of the fuel on the surface b. The passages h are preferably formed in thickened portions of the casting, and extension pieces may be fitted to convey air to the middle of the fuel bed. The joints between the elements a of the wall are formed by fire-clay filled into undercut grooves in adjoining faces. Fire-clay or asbestos filling is also provided between the outer furnace wall and the castings a. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the air-supply conduit may form the support for the boiler d, and in this case a flange o is provided to protect the rivet heads from the heat. Ferrules of suitable bore may be fitted in some or all of the channels h to equalize the rate of combustion throughout the mass of fuel.

Abstract: 23,380. Mead, J. J. Nov. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Pens, reservoir. In a self-filling fountain pen of the type in which a piston e slides in a barrel a open at both ends and in which the piston is attached to a stem f forming one part of a telescopic rod, the other part h being fitted with a pin i engaging an axial slot f<1> furnished with a notch in the stem, the said slot is provided with a notch f at each end and has a pin g on the barrel working in it, the part h being formed with a reduced portion h<1> which is a tight sliding fit in the barrel. To fill the pen, the sleeve h is drawn out to the position shown, rotated to engage the pin i with the upper branch Slot f<2>, and pushed into the barrel a. It is then withdrawn with the point dipped in ink, the pin g on the barrel a limiting the motion. On turning the sleeve h in the opposite direction, the stem f is locked to the barrel a and disengaged from the sleeve h, so that the latter can be pushed on to the barrel without disturbing the stem f. An air vent j in the sleeve h allows escape of air from above the piston e, the top of the stem f being closed to form a flush end with the sleeve h. The point section is in one piece with the barrel a, and the shoulder h<3> is the same diameter as the barrel to form a flush joint.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Engine Indicators.
Inventor: ARNDT MAX
IPC: G01L23/18
Filed: 1909-02-22
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 4352. Arndt, M. Feb. 22. Integrating. - Relates to apparatus for measuring and integrating the effective pressure in an engine cylinder, particularly of the type described in Specifications 19,414/05 and 27,250/06, in which the measurement is effected by diverting a portion of a constantly-flowing stream of water according to the pressure. Two electrical arrangements are also described. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the streamdividing device d is actuated by a piston K subjected to the cylinder pressures and controlled by a spring f. The pivoted tube 1, for conducting away the liquid corresponding to the compression pressures, is controlled in position by a similar piston K<1> loosely connected to it by means of a pin 7 on the tube and a loop 9 on the piston-rod. In a modification, the piston K<1> is dispensed with and the tube is controlled through linkage by the piston K. In the electrical apparatus shown in Fig. 4, the indicator piston K controls the position of a roller e, adapted to put resistances W<1>, W<2> into and out of circuit, the resulting effects being measured by a meter Z. In order to prevent measurement of the pressure due to compression in the engine cylinder, the two series of resistances W<1>, W<2> are connected by leads 1, 2 with a switch S controlled by the piston K. The movable part of the switch consists of a frame r, adapted to be reciprocated by a collar t on the piston-rod and carrying springs s, s<1>, s<2>, which establish connexion alternately between the conducting-plate l<3> and the contacts l, l<1>. The arrangement is such that when the backpressure due to compression is acting, and the roller e is consequently suddenly swung over to the other set of resistances, for instance, W<1>, the lost motion between the frame rand the collar t prevents movement of the switch and therefore the closure of the circuit containing the resistances W<1>. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, a rotary switch S is driven by the engine piston K<2>, and, during the compression periods, prevents closure of the circuits. The switch comprises a disk s carrying a conductor t insulated from the disk and adapted successively to bridge the contacts s<a>, s<b> and s<c>, s<d>.

Abstract: 4892. Dayol, J. M. Feb. 27. Bayonet joints. -Relates to pipe joints of the kind in which lugs C on the spigot pass through notches B in, and engage behind, a flange at the mouth of the socket, the joint being secured and made tight by a lock-nut E working along an external screwthread on the spigot and compressing a packing- ring F against the mouth of the socket. The invention consists in the provision of a stop G to limit the relative rotation of the' coupling- members, and of a pin H projecting a short distance into the socket to prevent uncoupling until the lock-nut E is slacked back.
