Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 12,540. Mauny, L. F. May 30, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Detonating toys.-In order to prevent paper caps used for toy guns or pistols from exploding in the box, to prevent the two paper parts of which they are made from becoming detached, and to prevent the caps from getting wet, they are formed from two disks b, c of waterproof paper, which are connected by a waterproof glue or cement, and between which the explosive material a is placed. The disks. b, c are formed with radial folds or crimps as shown in Fig. 3, or with concentric folds as shown in Fig. 4, and the folds are so arranged that the edges of the paper are higher than the projection formed by the explosive a. The construction is adapted to allow a single cap to be seized readily, and also to cause the caps to explode with increased noise.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: WRAY JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-10-16
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 22,829. Wray, J. W. Oct. 16. Loom shuttle - changing mechanism. - When the weft is substantially exhausted, a spring swell or projection 36, Fig. 1. on the shuttle drops into position, as described in Specification No. 28,978, A.D. 1906, to actuate a finger A on a bracket B on a spring rod C A finger D is thus moved out of its supporting position, so that a finger E, a rod H, and a bell-crank J are pulled down by a spring K. By means of a cord L and a lever N, Fig. 5. a cover P is moved into position to uncover teeth on a " catch box " P<1> on a shaft P<2>, so that a pawl W, oscillated by lever and cam mechanism from the tappet-shaft, is enabled to turn the shaft P<2>, which carries a " fly cage " Z. A locking spring-catch 32 is then released from the recesses or recesses 33 on the " fly cage Z. A tappet 1 adjustably connected to the " fly cage" strikes a finger 1<A >and operates a fork 2, 3, which puts clutch teeth 6, Fig. 2, on the crank-shaft into gear with a wheel 7 provided with a crank-pin 8. By means of lever mechanism 9, 10, 11, the shuttle box 12 is lowered, a tilting plate 13, normally kept in its raised position by a bearing finger 15 on the shuttle-box frame, then tilting downwards. The used shuttle falls into a receptacle 37 beneath. A reserve shuttle is then shot from an auxiliary box 12<A>. A tappet U, Fig. 1, pushes back a rod R and returns the bellcrank J and finger E to normal position, and after the "catch box" has made a complete revolution it is locked by the spring catch 32. During the ascent of the box 12, Fig. 2, a shuttle is fed into the reserve box12<A> from the magazine 16 by a tilting lever 18, 19. The back 18 acts as a guide and the plate 19 holds back a second shuttle. The lever 18, 19 is actuated by a lever 21 and rod 22 raised by a hook 24, which is moved underneath the finger 23 on the rod 22 by connexion with the rod 10 and is continuously raised and lowered by a lever 25 and cam 27. The reserve shuttle remains in the box 12<A> in readiness for the next operation of shuttle-changing. The plate 19 has a recess or notch for the engaging-lever 21.

Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: ALLAN DAVID
Filed: 1908-01-20
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 1321. Allan, D. Jan. 20. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. In a carburettor suitable for motor-car and like engines, a supplementary air valve J of a tubular or ferrule-like form surrounds the spraying - holes D and is lifted by. the suction of the engine, the lift being controlled by a screw L. The interior of the valve may be roughened. The casing A is tapered in its lower part and is parallel in its upper part, which contains the throttle P. The cap B is screwed on to the casing A and carries a crosspiece C, which supports the fuel nozzle D. This nozzle is bored to receive a needle valve, which has a hollow stem, is perforated at D<2>, D<3> and carries a disk H, which causes the valve to rise by suction and to fall by gravity. The lift of the valve is regulated by a gland G. The plug M enables the fuel valve to be lifted at starting. The main air supply is controlled by an adjustable disk F, the edge of which is chamfered to correspond with the edge B<1> of the cap B. This disk also serves to catch any petrol. that may have leaked from the nozzle, and the chamfered edges direct the in-coming air on to this petrol.

Granted: 1910-01-24
Abstract: 1686. Ross, T. C. Jan. 23. [Cognate Application, 8019/09.] Direct steam-pressure apparatus, automatic; systems; floats.-Relates to automatic gravityfeed apparatus of the kind in which a float in the feed-tank controls the supply of steam to pressure-operated valves in the connexions between the tank and boiler. A float 6 in the feed-tank 14 operates a cock 8 which controls the supply of steam to pistons 11, 17 formed on the extensions of doubleseated valves 12, 15 arranged at the inlet and outlet passages of the tank. In the lower position of the float and the raised position of the pistons, water may flow from the inlet 1, either directly or through an upper tank 2, into the feed-tank through the passage 3. When the float rises, the valves fall, and steam from the steam inlet 5, entering the top of the tank through a pipe 20, forces the water through the outlet 4 to the boiler. Steam-jet nozzles 19, 24, in communication with the steam-inlet, accelerate the flow of water to the boiler. A steam-jet nozzle 22 may also be fitted in the upper tank. The float preferably consists of two open vessels filled with wat, counterbalanced by an external weight.

Abstract: 4808. Pinkerton, C. B., and Lyons, H. B. Feb. 26. Engine stop-gear.-In apparatus for stopping the engine and applying the brakes of a motor vehicle when a pre-determined speed is exceeded, a centrifugal governor releases a switch which breaks an electric circuit, and at the same time puts into gear a relay apparatus connected to the brake-operating mechanism. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a centrifugal governor driven from one of the road wheels, adjusts one end of a centrally pivoted lever g. The other end of the lever, which is adjustable so as to vary the speed limit, supports a pivoted switch lever i until the speed limit is exceeded, when the lever escapes and the arm n breaks the electric current at o. The release of the switch i also applies the brake by means of a relay apparatus in which a connexion to the switch clutches a cam shaft to the shaft e driven by one of the road wheels, so that the cam t may reciprocate a pawl t<2> to rotate a drum p and wind up the brake-operating cord r. In a modification the drum p is rotated by worm gearing.

Abstract: 12,679. Loqvist, A. H. May 28. Toothed and friction gearing.-In driving-gearing of the class in which a common toothed or friction wheel engages a number of wheels or pinions supported by levers so that they may be moved into or out of engagement, means are provided to enable each separate wheel or pinion to be independently reversed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the driven pinions 5 are applied to drive separate milking-machines through flexible shafting, not shown. Each pinion 5 is mounted in a lever 7 adapted to turn on a pivot 8 so that it may be moved into or out of engagement with the driving-wheel 2, which is operated by a crankhandle. To obtain reversal, the lever 7 is moved until its pinion 5 engages the adjacent pinion 5 instead of the main driving-wheel 2 as indicated at 5<a>. The extreme pinion 5 may be moved, for reversal, into engagement with a pinion 9 in a stationary mount. Pinions similar to the pinion 9 may be arranged adjacent to each movable pinion 5 to allow reversal independent of the position of the adjacent driven gear. The levers may be provided with pivoted handles 10, with lugs to engage grooves in the frame 1 to lock the gears in their various positions. The pinions 5 may be of various sizes.

Abstract: 15,281. Brandenberger, E. June 30. Drawings to Specification. Compound fabrics.-Cellulose films are dried by passing them through a drying-chamber wherein they are supported by rigid surfaces during their entire passage. In one form of apparatus, a series of driven axially-rotating rollers, arranged in an horizontal row or in rows at different levels, support other freely rotating rollers which can be held laterally by brackets. The film, attached to a fabric itself attached to a strap, moves through the entire system of rollers which are arranged to rotate in the desired direction. The driven rollers may be heated internally by hot fluids or by flames, and in addition the drying-chamber may be flame-heated, or hot fluids may be passed through its interior. Heating of the chamber only may take place. During its passage between the rollers, the film may be secured to paper fabric &c., which may be passed between the rollers from an external roller on which the paper &c. is initially wound.
