Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 13,546. Unge, W. T. May 22, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Line-throwing apparatus.-Lines are connected to rotating projectiles or rockets by means of a swivel 1 attached to an eye 9 on a ring 8 in which the projectile rotates. A flange 7 on the projectile retains the ring in place. The ring may be lined with a metal which reduces friction. When the projectile is fired from a gun, the rifling of which is engaged by the flange 7, the ring 8 is held at the muzzle of the gun until the projectile passes into it. When a rocket is fired from a guide as shown in Fig. 2, the ring may be held similarly at the end of the guide, or may be held in place on the projectile, in which case the eye resting on one of the bars prevents the ring from rotating until the rocket leaves the guide.

Abstract: 10,012. Skeffington, A. April 27. Bed-lifts.-A bed-lift comprises a lifting and winding roller arranged on the inner side of the end frame at the head of the bed, and a draw-sheet. A second roller at the foot of the bed may be used, and provision is made for tilting the rollers on a pivot. In addition, the rollers may be made larger in diameter at the centre than at the ends to counteract the sagging of the sheet. Rods B, C, clamped to the uprights A, carry brackets E, E<1> having bearings for the journals of the lifting and winding roller F, to which is attached a sheet G, the roller being actuated through a handle and worm gearing. With this apparatus a patient may be raised to the head of the bed, or when necessary can be brought into a sitting position.

Abstract: 3730. Adair, M., Cameron, J. A., and Ainsworth, F. July 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Sewing - machines; grouped machines. - In apparatus for stitching simultaneously the opposite edges of a continuous strip of cloth, comprising two sewing-machines as described in Specification 5002/09, devices are provided to ensure that the two edges of the fabric are fed equally. The edges of the fabric are turned up by suitable guides before reaching the sewing- machines, and levers E rest upon the edges. If one edge is not fed so fast as the other, the upturned portion of that edge becomes slack, and allows the lever E to fall and make electric contact with a pin k<3>. This completes the circuit of an electro-magnet adapted to stop the machine operating upon the other edge of the fabric as described in Specification 16,923/09. When the fabric edge becomes taut again, the lever E is raised and the faster machine is restarted. As alternatives, the levers E might be adapted to cause a reduction in the speed of the faster machine or an increase in the speed of the slower machine.
