Title: Improvements in, and connected with, Laying Nests for Poultry.
Inventor: HEANE ARTHUR
Filed: 1905-09-14
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 18,577. Heane, A. Sept. 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Nests; traps.-A trap nest, set by the fowls themselves, has separate inlet and outlet openings, and the outlet communicates with a suitable pen in which the fowls are retained for identification. The weight of a bird on the hinged sitting platform H depresses, by means of the connexion K, Fig. 1, and against the force of a counterweight o r spring E, the hinged lever F carrying the shutter G which closes the inlet I. At the same time the outlet D, Fig. 3, is similarly opened by the lever L. When the bird leaves the platform, the latter is held down by the trigger F, until the trigger is released by a projection on the hinge rod of a grille device, similar to those used in connexion with pigeon cotes, through which the bird must pass just outside the outlet D. The arrangements may be modified in use by omitting the exit arrangements and confining the bird to the nest, or by omitting the grille device and re-setting the nest by hand. As described in the Provisional Specification, the inlet and outlet shutters are attached to a single lever and the trigger F is released by a cord partly wound around the hinge rod of the grille.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lay Figures or Garment Forms.
Inventor: GEMS JULIUS FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-10-12
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 20,682. Gems, J. F. Oct. 12. Lay-figure stands.-Consists chiefly in improvements in attaching the arms so as to avoid undue strain on the shell and, in the case of figures with adjustable bodies, to prevent the arms from being moved forward or backward, with the changes in the size of the figure. Fig. 2 shows an expansible figure a divided longitudinally into four parts, the lateral edges of which are strengthened by channelsection sheet metal a<5>. The disk b<2> carries a hook b<8> engaging in an eyelet c<3>, Fig. 6, in the revoluble part c' of the supporting-disk c ; the revoluble part c' may be of the form shown in Fig. 6 or may be a flat disk sunk in the face of the disk c. The disk c is carried by a bent rod d<1>, Fig. 2, which is held by a nut d<3> in the fixed disk d. The hooks b<8> pass through circular or oval apertures in the shell ; the latter form of aperture allows a slight backward or forward shift of the arms as desired ; the apertures are always smaller than and covered by the disks b<2>. The rod d' may be formed as shown in Fig. 11 with its upper end passing through a hole bored slightly askew in a stirrup d<8> ; a coiled spring d<9> abuts against the stirrup and a nut d<10> surrounds the rod and permits it to yield when the shell is expanded and to return when contraction takes place. Fig. 12 shows another arrangement for the same purpose ; the rod d<1> carries a flat plate d<3> in which is formed a slot d<4> provided with depressions d<5>; a bolt d<6> rests in one of these depressions and secures the rod to the arm-supporting disk ; or this disk may be dispensed with, in which case the cross-head d<7> is formed on the bolt d<6> which keeps the bolt in place when the arm is hanging, but permits of removal when the arm is raised into an horizontal position. When the disk and plate d<5> are used together, the disk is formed in a single piece. The rods may be supported by a fixed plate at the waist, instead of at the neck. Fig. 13 shows an arrangement for supporting the arms directly by the shell ; rods or stout wires a<8>, a<9> are riveted on two sections of the shell and pass slidably through eyelets c<4> on the inner side of the arm-supporting disk c. The above arrangement of mounting the arms may be used with non-expansible figures or with figures of the kind shown in Fig. 1 of Specification No. 21,000, A.D. 1902.

Abstract: 4032. Haddan, R., [Moore, M. G.]. Feb. 18. Edges, treating.-A templet for use in machines such as are described in Specification No. 22,115, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Sewing &c.], for folding over the edges of cuffs, collars, and like articles preparatory to stitching them together, is made in three parts mounted on blocks. The blocks are guided in grooves and are relatively movable, so that different shapes of templet are made by suitably combining the parts. In Fig. 2, horizontal end parts k, shown in plan in Fig. 3, are shown mounted on blocks e which are caused to slide towards or away from one another on a rod c. The actuating-mechanism consists of connecting-rods f, bell-cranks f<1>, and links f<2>, all moved by a rod g, Figs. 1 and 3, which is reciprocated horizontally by a rod p. The rod p takes in between two studs o adjustable on the rod g, and is actuated by a cam r. The centre part i of the templet is fixed on the rod c. A collective movement is given to the three parts of the templet by causing the rod c on which they are mounted to move laterally in guideways d, Fig. 2. To effect this, projections on the upper side of the blocks e engage grooves in adjustable pieces which are fixed at any required angle on the underside of the cross-head of the machine. Movement of the blocks e causes a simultaneous lateral movement of the rod c, the extent of which-is limited by the position of a nut u on a bolt s on the rod. The nut takes against a part t on the cross-head.
