Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 14,228. Pearson, H., and Cox, P., [trading as Pearson & Co.]. July 4. Motor road vehicles.- Relates to the arrangement of a steam-engine, generator, fuel and feed pumps, and water and fuel tanks. The engine a, Fig. 1, of the vertical single-acting type, is located under the footboard behind the dashboard with its crank-shaft arranged longitudinally, and drives the rear wheels by means of the longitudinal shaft h. The feed-water pump band the fuel-feeding pump c, drawing respectively from the water and fuel tanks o, p, are arranged on opposite sides of the crank-shaft, and are preferably driven by the same eccentric. The fuel pump supplies fuel to a pressure tank s from which the burners are fed, a relief valve being fitted which by-passes the fuel back to the fuel tank, when a predetermined pressure is reached, so as to ensure a uniform supply. An auxiliary water pump e for starting is operated by means of a footlever f. The steam throttle-valve a<1> is controlled by a pedal r, which is preferably also employed for applying one of the brakes. A six-way coupling is arranged in the fuel pipe line to facilitate regulation. If more than one pump is employed, for either water or fuel, a second eccentric may be provided on the engine shaft, or alternatively a doubleacting pump may be employed.

Title: Improvements in Edge-setting Machines for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: SPIERS WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-10-05
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 20,974. Spiers, W. Oct 5. [Cognate Application No. 7742, A.D. 1909, dated March 31.] Burnishing. - A circular rotary tool for an automatic edge-setting machine, of the type described in Specification No. 27,346, A.D. 1904, comprises a rigid part for mounting upon the spindle of the machine, and an operating member mounted thereon for universal yielding movement, in order to maintain constantly a proper relation between the tool and the sole-edge. Two forms of tool are described, each comprising yielding means which tend to maintain the operating-member in a central position, and a detachable edge-setting ring. As shown in Fig. 1, a sphere 1 having screwed stalks 4, 5 is embraced by a member 2 in two parts screwed together about the sphere. An edge-setting iron or ring 3 is preferably detachably held upon the member 2 by spring-controlled detents 17, over which it is passed. Pegs projecting from the sphere 1 into notches in the member 2 serve to drive the edge-setting ring, recesses in which are engaged by projections on the member 2. To maintain the edge-setting tool in a medium position upon its shank 5, springs 8, 10 are placed in notches on the front and rear of the member 2, adjustable washers 6, 11 being arranged upon the stalks 4, 5 to serve as abutments for the springs. In the form shown in Fig. 3, a shank 5 has a spherical head 1 carrying pegs which drive a yielding member seated upon the sphere and adjusted to carry the edge-setting ring. A conical hole 21 and a conical or other seat 27 are formed on a rearward projection from the member 2, and, to maintain it in a medium position, an adjustably spring-pressed conical or other seated washer 24 surrounds the shank 5 and bears upon the seat 27. The edge-setting ring 28 has an interrupted internal flange which is adapted to pass over a complementary interrupted flange on a locking ring 29 screwed into the yielding member. A partial turn of the locking ring thus secures the edgesetting ring ; a spring-pressed pin 33 housed in the yielding member then enters a hole in the locking- ring to secure the parts. The exterior of the yielding member may be threaded at 35 to receive a rotatable stitch-wheel.

Title: Improvements in Carding Machines, Scutching Machines, and the like.
Filed: 1908-12-31
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 28,470. Brooks &. Doxey, and Whitworth, C. Dec. 31. Guards, controlling by movable parts of machinery.-In a locking-device for the doors of carding-engines, scutchers, and similar machines in which the pivoted door arm is locked, when the door is shut, by an eccentric or lever on the strapfork operating rod, and, when the door is open, acts as an obstruction to prevent the return movement of the strap-fork, a pivoted spring or weight controlled catch is placed in the path of the door arm and can only be removed by means of a pin inserted through an opening in the fast pulley. The door A, Fig. 1, is locked by an eccentric disk G, which engages a notch b<1> in the quadrant b at the end of the door arm B, and which is carried by the strapfork operating rod F. As the rod F is rotated, the strap-fork C is moved along the pin c by an eccentric pin E and link e, and the eccentric disk G is moved out of the notch b<1>. A spring or weight controlled catch K is mounted on a sleeve H loose on the rod F, and an arm L on the end of the sleeve H hangs down behind the slotted gauge d of the fast pulley. To release the arm B when the fast pulley is at rest, it is necessary to insert a pin through one of the slots d<1> and tilt the arm L. To enable the belt to be placed on the fast pulley when the door is open, for grinding purposes, the boss c<1> of the strap-fork C is secured by a set-screw c<3> to a bush c<2> keyed to the pin c, so that the strap-fork can be released and turned back out of the way of the belt.

Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 3399. Menck, H. F. Feb. 11. Scoop-arm machines.-The bottom flap of the scoop is connected with braking-mechanism so that the scoop may be emptied gradually. As shown in Fig. 2, the bottom flap b of the scoop is carried by yoke-pieces b<1>, the rear portions of which are formed as toothed sectors engaging gear-wheels d mounted on a shaft e carried by the scoop arm 2. The shaft e also carries a brake disk f, having a band brake g normally pulled by a weight m on a bell-crank lever connected by a link l with a lever g<2> to which the free end of the band is fixed. A cord o lift the weight and allows the flap to open when required, the rate of emptying of the scoop being determined by the pull given to the cord. To allow the flap to close by gravity on the downward movement of the scoop, the wheels d and the disk f are loose on the shaft e, and spring pawls p on the brake disk engage ratchet-wheels q secured to the gear-wheels d; the flap is thus always free to close, but is free to open only when the brake g is released. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the ratchet gear is omitted, and the gear-wheels d and the brake disk f are fixed to the shaft e. The weight m is lifted, and the brake released, by a rope o' wound on a roller r on which the operating-rope o is also wound. When the scoop has been emptied, a strong pull is given to the rope o, a tooth r' on the roller r is caught by a toothed lever s, and the brake is held released. When the flap b closes, a slotted rod t releases the roller r and allows the weight to fall and the brake to act.
