Title: Improvements in Cable Cutting Devices.
Inventor: PETRIE CHARLES
Filed: 1906-09-20
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 20,897. Petrie, C. Sept. 20. Cutting cables and ropes.-A frame 13 is slung over the rope or cable by hooks 12, 30 and runs along on rollers 10, 10<a> until it reaches the point at which the rope &c. is to be severed. The cutting operation is effected, from a distance by means of a cord 37. On pulling the cord 37 upwards, the hook 38 is released from the eye 39 causing a hook 24 to grip the rope ; on continuing the pull on the cord, a pair of links 15, 16 are rotated about their pivots. The link 16 is hinged to the cutting-blade 20, and the link 15 carries a bearing plate 17 formed with an inclined slot 18, Fig. 3 As the links swing, the blade 20, guided by the slot 18, moves upwards and sideways to sever the rope. To further facilitate the cutting operation, a second blade 31 is mounted over the rope ; it is pivoted to levers 27 which are operated by lmks 26 adjustably mounted on the arms of the book 24 so as to urge the blade 31 guided by a slit 32, Fig. 3, downwards and sideways, simultaneously with the upward movement of the lower cutting-blade. The upper cutting-blade may be dispensed with when the device is used for cutting cables other than wire.

Title: Improvements in Control Valves for Apparatus for Heating Buildings and the like.
Inventor: WESTWOOD JOSEPH WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-10-26
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 23,820. Westwood, J. W. Oct. 26. Heating buildings. -An automatic differential - pressure valve apparatus, for controlling the supply of heating medium to radiators and the like, consists in an inlet valve a rigidly connected by means of a rod l to a piston f, carrying the outlet valve g and its seat. The steam &c. inlet is at c and the flow and return to the radiator are at d and i, respectively, the passage being connected with the discharge pipe. When the valve a is on its seat, as is the case normally owing to the weight of the valves, the outlet valve gis lifted from its seat by the adjustable stop m. The pressure of steam entering at c lifts the valve a .and hence the piston f, so that the valve g comes into contact with its seat and closes the outlet. The area of the piston is greater than the area of the valve a, so that when the pressure becomes equalized in the radiator, the piston is forced down, thus again closing the inlet a and opening the outlet g. The operations are then repeated. The amount of lift of the inlet can be regulated by means of a screw e.
Patent GB-190625117-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Brake Actuating Devices.
Inventor: JOHN POST
Filed: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 25,117. Post, J. Feb. 12, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Brakes.-A steam-brake system for cars comprises a pipe A which is connected to any source of live steam and can be put into communication, through pipes G, Q and a driver's cock B at each end of the vehicle, with pipes P, which are connected by a pipe R and communicate with vertical brake cylinders K. Steam thus admitted above the piston L, Fig. 3, forces the piston down in opposition to a spring M, and the piston-rod 0 applies blocks H to the wheels through toggle levers O, Fig. 1. The lower end of the cylinder is open, the piston-rod sliding through a boss N supported by radial arms from the cylinder. The pipes Q, P, R slope down towards the cylinders K. When the pressure above the piston L is reduced to take off the brakes, a valve V in the piston is opened by a spring X and allows the water of condensation to drain away from the system. The upward movement of the piston under the influence of the spring M is limited by a shoulder V on the cylinder.

Beading E may be applied round the edge of the slat frame C, as shown. Strips F as described are secured to the slats C, c<1> and bands c' by nails f The springs may be put under tension by means of the sheet D nailed to the frame A, A' ; or the sheet may only extend to the edge of the slats C, the tension being obtained by securing one part f<4> of the strip F to the frame A, A', as shown in Fig. 3. The two parts of the strip may be kept closed or separate, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 respectively ; in the latter case the covering-material may be removed from one part of the strip.

Abstract: 5430. Stearns, H. A. March 6. Polishing.-To polish inner surfaces of rings, particularly spinning and twisting rings, the rings &c. are clamped side by side e in a rotary holder and are operated upon by a felt pad mounted on a shaft rotated in the opposite direction. The rings 20, Fig. 2, are clamped between end plates 24, 25, which are connected by bolts 26 and nuts 27, 28. To keep the rings in position, clamping-bars 30 aroused and are positioned by screw bolts 31, which are provided with lock-nuts and which screw through rings 32 mounted on the bolts 26. The end plates are mounted on a shaft 17 carried between centres 12, 16. The shaft 17 has secured to it a felt pad 18, which rubs against a portion of the inner periphery of the rings and carries round the emery with which the interior of the tube formed by the rings is filled. The shaft 17 is driven through a shaft 15 by the engagement of pins 39 on a plate 40 with slots in a dog 37. The holder is rotated at a quicker rate than, and in the opposite direction to, the pad through a shaft 11 by the engagement of pins 35 on the end plate 25 with holes in the sleeve 36 The shaft 15 can be moved in its bearings when the pin 41 is removed. To position the clamping-bars 30 before the rings are inserted, they are arranged around a solid former of the requisite size, the reduced end of which fits the bush 44 in the end plate 25. To fix the position of the holder on the shaft 17, a collar 34 fixed by a set-screw is used.

Abstract: 12,170. Sattler, C. May 27. Nalling.-Relates to a machine for nailing leather; cloth, or similar uppers of boots and shoes to soles of wood, paper, &c. A stand 1 is provided with a plate 3, in the plane of which is a sole platform 2 supported on a cross-beam 4. On the plate 3 and grouped round the sole o are a number of parts 5 shaped to form nail holders 6 and guides for nail drivers 8. Corresponding to each driver is a nail lifter 9 fastened to a plate 10, which is moved up and down by a cam on the main shaft 13. Eccentrics 15 operate a plate 16, to which are attached bell-crank levers 18 for the purpose of reciprocating the drivers. The nail lifters, Figs. 5 and 6, are flat rods with slots 20 at the upper end, down which the nails slide until they fall through an opening 21, when the driver advances and the nail is forced into the sole. The nailing-parts may be made adjustable on the platform 3, or may be enclosed in a ring and fixed thereto. The nailing- parts 8, 9 may be operated one after the other by rotating a disk with depressions and projections on its surface in contact with the lower extremities of the rods 12, 17, the plates 10,16 serving in this case merely to guide the draw-rods. In another construction, a cone is moved to and fro to actuate the drivers by means of its curved surface.
