[Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Lock-stitch shuttle sewing - machines; governing needlethread.-In a shuttle especially adapted for waxthread machines, the bobbin is fixed so as to rotate with the shuttle, the thread being taken axially. The bobbin is secured to the shuttle by a pin 4 which is inserted in a slot 5 in the shuttle. It is kept from any rotary movement by a latch 9, hinged to the thread-delivery arm 10 and entering a notch 6 in the hobbin periphery. The arm 10 is held in position by a jack-knife spring device 11. The arm is perforated in line with the axis of the bobbin, which may be mounted eccentrically in the shuttle, and the tension of the thread passing through it is determined by a spring-pressed plunger 20. The box 19 containing the spring may be adjusted relatively to the fixed hub 18 to vary the tension. A plate 13 is mounted revolubly on the bobbin, and is retained by a split ring which engages in grooves 16 in the bore of the bobbin and the boss of the plate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to "Apparatus for Fastening Eyelets."
Filed: 1907-04-15
Granted: 1908-07-15
Abstract: 8679. Soc. Anon. des Agrafes Frangaises and Gingembre, L. April 15. Eyeleting.-Relates to an eyeleting-maohine of the type in which a single hand-lever causes in one movement the perforation of the leather and the feeding and setting and clinching of the eyelets. On depression of the hand-lever h, the punch a and head b are simultaneously raised, and the former removes an eyelet from the shoot q, which is then withdrawn against the spring u by a roller t engaging a cam-surface t<1> on the arm s, which supports the eyelet drum j. A feeding rotation is also given to the drum by means of a link n attached at one end to the frame and at the other to a pawl m engaging a ratchet-wheel k, eyelets being delivered to the outer channel o through a series of suitable apertures round the base of the drum. The further motion of the punch a perforates the leather by forcing it against the cutting edge of the anvil c, which has a channel c' enlarged at i for the free passage of the punched-out piece. The nose f<2> of the connecting-lever f, which has hitherto supported the punch a, then moves to the left, and the head b alone rises further, and coacting with the anvil c sets and clinches the eyelet. Eyelets are held at the end of the shoot q by a spring prior to removal by the punch. A pointer, adjustable with respet to the anvil c, serves to determine the eyelet spacing.

Title: Improvements relating to Colour Photography.
Inventor: URBAN FRANZ
Filed: 1907-04-15
Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 8723. Urban, F. April 15. Colour photography.-The image produced in the ordinary manner is divided into small elements by a screen 4, and the rays of light are then passed through a colour-dispersing device 2, such as an ordinary or direct-vision prism, a diffraction grating, or the like. A photograph is then taken on a panchromatic plate 3. A positive from this negative, when similarly placed, and observed against a white surface through the screen and dispersing-device, will appear in natural colours, owing to the transmission of those parts of the elemental spectra which have acted upon the negative. The image may also be projected. In connexion with the three-colour and like processes, prints excluding definite colours may be obtained by the use of suitable screens or colour filters. The apparatus may also be employed in combination with stereoscopic apparatus, and, when suitably arranged, may be applied for the process of obtaining photographs by standing waves of light produced in the sensitive layer by reflection.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Exhausting Air from Siphons of Sluices and the like
Inventor: HAVESTADT CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1907-05-15
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 11,384. Havestadt, C. May 15. Siphons.-Relates to means for removing the air from siphons such as are used in sluices, water reservoirs, &c., and consists in using a floating suction chamber a. This chamber is rigidly connected with a float b, and has a pipe f in communication with the water, and a suction pipe d leading to the siphon. The vertical part of the pipe d works in a stuffing-box c. As shown in Fig. 2 the tank a is filled ; on the pipe d being opened to the siphon by a cock, air passes into the tank a and the float rises to the position shown in Fig. 1, leaving a water column in the pipef sufficient to ballance the vacuum of the chamber a. The suction of the siphon when working is used for again exhausting the air from the chamber a so that it again fills with water and sinks. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, two pipes f are provided, each of which may be closed by valves h if the tank is to be filled from an upper level through the connexion j.
