Patent GB-190709602-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Means for use in Slinging Horses and Cattle
Inventor: MOBLEY WILLIAM ARRIES
Filed: 1907-04-25
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 9602. Mobley, W. A. April 25. Slings.-In a sling for horses and cattle, in which the supporting-hook has attached to it a bar along which slide hooks provided with rollers, these hooks carry the sling. The hooks b are provided with rollers c and are mounted upon the bar a. The bar e is bent at the extremities so as to form guards for the roller hooks b, but this may be effected by bending the bar a at its ends. The shank g' of the supporting-hook g passes through the bars e, a and is secured at the lower end by the nut h. A rope or chain i is connected to the hook g and to a pulley-block attached to the ceiling. The sling j is supported at each side by three ropes k connected by eyes l<1>, l to the hooks b. The U- shaped pieces m connected to the sling afford attachment for straps o which pass longitudinally round the animal's body. The straps p pass over the animal's back and are held in position by the strap q. It will be seen that the sling as a whole adjusts itself to the width of the horse with which it is used. In a modified construction one of the hooks only is movable, the other being fixed, while the support g in this case will be movable on the bar a.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Casting Type
Inventor: DRUITT PERCY WALTER
Filed: 1907-04-29
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 9932. Druitt, P. W. April 29. Monotype and like machines.-In type composing and casting machines, the spaces are cast full length, and means, preferably controlled by the space matrices, is provided for breaking off an end to produce low spaces. Fig. 6 shows the means as applied to machines of the kind described in Specifications No. 1903, A.D. 1900, and No. 15,468, A.D. 1906. The end of the space p is broken. off by a guillotine or hammer o, which is actuated from a cam-driven lever l through a spring- returned connexion k thrown into operative position by a tappet n moved by a ratchet-wheel j<1> controlled by the space matrices. The normal space matrices, or the carrier parts of the justifying-spaces, are provided with a notch opposite the set notch, for co-operation with a feeler slide b mounted on the pusher slide c and operated independently.- The ratchetwhael j<1> is operated by a pawl j connected with a lever i extending between two pins on the slide b so that it is only operated when the slide b makes the extra advance into the notch of a space matrix. In order to prevent the space p from tilting when struck by the hammer o, the spring bead q, which holds the type down on the delivery slide, is pressed down by a bell-crank lever u operated from a camdriven lever r through a spring-cushioned or elastic link t and a lever s. Provision may be made for rendering the mechanism inoperative, for example by holding out the pawl j.

Lighting and extinguishing gas; anti-vibration devices. - Relates to improvements on the automatic gas lighting and extinguishing apparatus described in Specification No. 4377, A.D. 1906. The casing comprises a base-plate A, tubular walls G, and a cover-plate H adapted to be taken apart without disturbing the mechanism. The cam spindle P and the rocking lever V are mounted on pillars 0 connecting a top plate E<1> to a platform E which is secured to the base-plate A by screws F, and can be mounted in either of two positions at an angle of 180 degrees to each other, determined by notches E' so that the cams R, R<1> may be reversed relatively to the main and pilot tubes W, W<1> to transform an all-night lamp into an evening lamp, and vice versa, in three-cycle apparatus. The flexible diaphragm used in the prior invention is replaced by a plate H attached to a bellows comprising flexible rings J, which may be made of canvas coated with rubber, and a floating ring K. The central stem N operates the ratchet-wheel Q by means of a duplex spring pawl S, S<1>, and has a stop piece N'.. The apparatus is carried by a corrugated disk C to absorb vibrations. The small permanent by-pass is provided at A<3>, A<4>, Y, and is regulated by a screw Y'. An electric switch, preferably of the type described in Specification No. 21,795, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.], may be combined with the stem N for any suitable purpose.

Abstract: 691. Egeberg, O. F. Jan. 11. Recovering waste lubricating-oils.-Relates to apparatus for separating water from waste lubricating-oil by evaporation in vacuo at a temperature of 30-50‹ C. The apparatus comprises a boiler 1 provided with a water-jacket 3, which is heated by steam admitted by a pipe 7. A tubular extension 2 on the boiler is covered with insulating-material 4, in which a steam coil 5 leading to the pipe 7 is embedded. A hollow perforated double cone 8 suspended by a tube 9 is provided to prevent oil from passing over with the steam. An indicator 25 and a float 24 show the level in the boiler. The steam from the boiler passes to a cooling-chamber 11, and thence by a pipe 13 to the steam-engine condenser. A float valve 14 prevents oil from passing over to the condenser. The oil enters the boiler by way of pipes 16, 18 after a preliminary separation in a tank 15, from which water is automatically drawn off through a pipe 30 by hydrostatic pressure. The purified oil is led away from the boiler by pipes 19, 20 to the filters.

Paper and like bags, folding down mouths of after filling.-Relates to machines for closing the mouths of bags, in which the bags are provided with one or more inner linings of paper or lead, and in which the end or ends of the lining are first separated from the outer sheet and closed down upon the contents, as described in Specifications 4573/09 and 29,934/09, [Class 94 (ii), Paper bags &c.]. The invention is shown applied to machines, for example, of the type described in Specifications 8355/01, 11,360/03, 11,189/04, and 9988/08. A wedge-shaped seperator v is mounted on a standard n and clamps the outer lining j, which is a little higher than the inner lining k, against a standard 3, being held in that position by a roller 4 on an arm 6. The arm 10, carrying needles 13, is then advanced to pierce the outer lining j and force inwards the inner lining k. The wedge v descends, the needles 13 being accommodated in grooves in its lower edge, and moves to the left under the action of the spring z on the release of the arm 6 and folds down one side of the lining. The stop 2, contacting with the top of the standard, prevents the wedge from moving too far to the left. The folding of the rest of the bag and its lining is effected in the usual manner.
