Title: Improvements relating to Primary Batteries.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1907-04-23
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 9 4 7 7. Lake, H. W., [Hite, C. E.]. April 23. Primary batteries.-The cell 3 is of non-conducting material such as bard rubber or cast iron with an internal coat 22 of enamel or other insulating-substance, and is formed with ribs 6 at the bottom and sides, upon which fit grooves in the electrodes 8, which may be of carbon, and the junctions are made water-tight by suitable insoluble insulating-material such as pitch, resin, or alkali-proof varnish. Each carbon 8 carries by a bolt 13 or otherwise a zinc plate or rod 10. The electrolyte may be ammonium chloride. One side of each carbon supports a layer 11 of insulating- material forming insulating-partitions between the cells 9, and if zinc plates are used each receives a similar coating 12 on the side away from the exposed surface of the carbon. In a modification for closed - circuit working, the cell is divided horizontally by a partition 4, the carbons 8 being held in grooves in the partition 4 and in the sides of the cell. Each compartment 9 communicates with the space 15 below the partition 4 by channels or tubes 14, the electrolyte in the part 15, which may be chromic acid, being forced upwards through the channels 14 by means of a hand-pump 17 when required. The liquid may be kept in the upper cells by turning a cock 18, and may be at once returned by opening another cock 19. The chamber 15 is provided with partitions 16 corresponding to the electrodes 8 so that electric connexion cannot be made between the cells 9 by the liquid in the chamber 15.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Clamping and like Devices for Loose-leaf Books, Presses and the like.
Inventor: HEWITT JOHN HERBERT
Filed: 1907-04-24
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 9558. Hewitt, J. H., and Walker, J. April 24. Fastenings, clamp. A clamping-device for loose-leaf books, presses, &c. consists of two clamping- members, flexible members secured to one clamping- member and adapted to pass s through the other clamping - member, against which they are secured by cams &c., and means to prevent the deformation of that part of the flexible members between the two clamping- members. In the binder shown in Fig. 1, the flexible members consist of chains c, which can be secured against the clamping-member a by cams h mounted on pivoted levers pressing springs f against the chains. The chains c are formed of links, preferably flat, secured together by pins so that, when the chains are held against deformation, for example by telescopic posts d, e, they are adapted to resist compressive strain.

An electric battery g may be attached to the belt by straps, one of its poles g<1> being joined by a bare wire to one handle b, while the other g<2> is joined by a wire i' to the rollers, which in this case are made of a conducting-material.
Patent GB-190725524-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Hand-trucks.
Inventor: PARKER GEORGE DAVID
Filed: 1907-11-18
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 25,524. Parker, G. D. Dec. 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hand-trucks are provided with means for holding the load with a force that is proportional to the weight of the load. Bearings C, inclined downwardly towards their outer ends, are secured beneath the truck frame, and carry rock-shafts D having rigid arms D' provided with spurs D<2>, Fig. 3, or with blocks D' having roughened surfaces, which may be of rubber. The shafts D are connected by means of universal joints E<1> to an horizontal bar E carrying a lever F, which is connected by a link G to a pedal H mounted on the axle. A spring I, attached to the axle and to the lever F, normally keeps the arms D<1> raised, as shown in Fig. 2 ; but when the pedal H is depressed, the arms are lowered and, owing to the obliquity of the bearings C, they converge and grip an object placed between them. If the truck is then tilted, the pressure is maintained by the weight of the load, which tends still further to turn the shafts D. If the boxes to be handled are not thick enough to be gripped by the spurs D<2> or D<3>, they are gripped by the arms D<1> themselves, which may be provided with roughened or rubber-faced projections for that purpose, as indicated at D<4> Figs. 2 and 3. A modification is described in which the bearings C are mounted on plates capable of being rotated in their own plane in order to alter the adjustment of the grips by varying the inclination of the bearings C. To release the grips, the truck is tilted forwards until the load rests on the ground, when the spring I will automatically raise the arms D<1>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Preventing or Extinguishing Fires in Enclosures.
Inventor: BRENT CHARLES
Filed: 1908-02-07
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 2776. Brent, C. Feb. 7. Fires, preventing and minimizing; fire-extinguishing by gases; fire-extinguishing in ships.-Relatcs to means for preventing or extinguishing a fire in an enclosed space, such as the hold of a vessel, in which the air is drawn from the hold, is treated to deprive it of its free oxygen, and is returned to the hold, and consists in leading the air for treatment below the furnace fire-bars. A furnace 3 burning charcoal &c. is mounted on the deck, and is connected by a pipe 8 with the upper part of the hold. The air is drawn from the hold to support the combustion of the charcoal and is thereby deprived of its oxygen. The products of combustion are carried by a pipe 11 below the surface of water in a washer 12. The gases bubble through the water and pass through charcoal moistened by a spray 16. A blower 19 and pipe 20 deliver the gases to the lower part of the hold, where they are distributed by a perforated pipe 21.

Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 23,512. LÚvi, G. Nov. 3. Springs. -Relates to spring suspensions for automobiles and other vehicles, of the type in which each spring is replaced by two springs, only one of the springs acting when the load is light and both coming into action under the maximum load. Fig. 1 shows the application to a rear transverse spring, a pair of springs 2, 3 being connected to the frame 1 and separated by a block 4. The ends of the lower spring 3 are attached to double brackets 5, each comprising two parallel plates with slots 6, while the ends of the upper spring 2 are connected to pins 7 which slide in the slots 6. The brackets 5 are also connected to the rear ends of the side springs by shackles 8. Fig. 1 shows the position of the parts when the second spring 2 is about to come into action due to the engagement of the pins 7 with the upper edges of the slots 6. This form of spring may be applied to rear side springs of vehicles driven by a Cardan shaft, or of chain-driven vehicles having chain-stays, the springs in that case being inverted. In the case of front and rear springs of chain-driven vehicles without chain-stays, a fixed support is required for the front ends of the springs. Fig. 3 shows the application to front springs of this type of vehicle, the upper spring 2 being connected directly at 2<1> to the frame. The rear half only of the lower spring 3 is retained, being connected at its end to the pin 7, adapted to engage the lower edge of the slot.
