Patent GB-190925584-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Liquid Meters.
IPC: G01F3/16
Filed: 1909-11-05
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 25,584. Smith & Son, S., and Cahill, D. Nov. 5. Liquid-meters. - Relates to liquid-meters of the type in which a piston strikes abutments passing through the cylinder-covers to operate a shuttle which gives movement to the valves, and comprises a number of detail improvements. The cylinder f is fitted with a float piston g, an oscillating slide valve h, and abutments n, which are alternately struck by the disk p of the piston. These abutments are packed by flexible diaphragms o, which are capable of distension towards the cylinder as well as away from it. By recessing the covers, as shown at r, the diaphragms have a stroke equal to that of the piston. At each end of the cylinder is mounted a rocking spindle s, which is provided with a central arm t adapted to contact with the abutments n, and with end arms u, v. The free ends of the arms u have pins x, which engage pins y on the shuttle-bar z to operate the bar which operates the valve h in the usual manner. One arm 3 cariies a pawl 5, which actuates the train of wheels for the indicating-dials 9, and one of the levers t carries a projection 13 for engaging a lever 14, as shown in Fig. 6, which actuates the totalizer. In order to lock the valve h during the greater part of the stroke of the piston, a pin 17 is moved into the path of the valve lever 11 so as to protrude through the face 20 of the valve ports, and contact with a bolt 18 on the lever 11. The pin 17 is moved downwards out of the locking-position against the spring 21 by one of two levers 22 operated from the arms v. When an arm v strikes a cam 26 on one of the levers 22, the end 24 of the lever is moved down, and, by contacting with the pin 25 on the rod 17, takes the rod with it; during the movement, the valve h is reversed. Upon reversal, the shuttle bar does not move for some time owing to the spring levers 3, and the arm v and lever 22 have time to move back to allow the pin 17 to return to the locking position. The arms v are preferably linked together, by rods 30 and a spring 31, and the arms t are fitted with an adjustable stud 29. When the meter is used on a motor-car to measure petrol, a pointer 28 may be attached to the valve h or to the valve lever 11, and may be arranged to move over one of the dials 9. If a double stroke of the piston is equivalent to a certain amount of petrol, then an observer on the car may note the quantity consumed over a measured distance when such quantity is smaller than can be accurately noted on the indicating - device. Specifications 18,511/06, 18,513/06, and 11,047/07 are referred to.

Abstract: 19,099. Searle, E. H., and Condit, W. D. Oct. 2, 1909. Breech actions, sliding breechblock; breech actions, movable barrel, other than drop-down.- Relates to automatic guns having the sear carried by the recoiling breech-slide, and consists in providing an automatic sear-safety which is also carried bv the breech-slide. This safety is normally in engagement with the sear, but is released when the weapon is grasped for firing, if at the same time the breechslide is in the closed position. The invention is shown applied to a weapon of the kind described in Specification 22,463/09, which is itself an improvement on the invention described in Specification 19.513/05. The safety - lever 9 which normally locks the sear 8 as shown in Fig. 1, is turned into the disengaging position shown in Fig. 3, when a vertical slide 10 is lowered by means of the lever 13 in the grip. The connexion between the vertical slide 10 and the safety lever 9 is formed by an oblique finger 10<a> on the slide, and a hook having an inclined surface 9<d> at the rear of the lever. Thus, as soon as the breech slide recoils, the connexion is broken and the safety lever turns into the engaging position. If however, after the discharge, the weapon is still gripped, the safety lever is turned into the disengaging position when the finger 10<a> meets the inclined surface 9<d> at the end of the closing movement. The vertical slide 10 also locks the cocking-lever 11, and the breech block and its top end forms the ejector.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Rounding or Channeling or for Performing other Operations upon the Soles of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS

Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 18,522. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Aug. 16. Boot-sole sewing-machines. - A guide for sewing, and other machines for operating on shoe soles is described as applied to the rounding and channelling machine described in Specification 4426/98, [Class 17, Boots &c.], which comprises essentially trimming and channelling knives e, b, a sole - support b<5>, a clamp-plate d, a guide a which acts continuously round the forepart and shank, and a second guide f operative only when trimming the forepart.. According to the present invention, the guide f is supported on an arm f<1> connected by a chain 1 to a treadle, and is brought down to engage the upper in such a position that the sole will be trimmed to a minimum or normal width. This position is determined by the engagement of a roller 2 carried by an adjustable spring-pressed plunger 3 mounted in the arm f<1> with a cam m<2>, which is automatically and intermittently actuated to move the arm f<1> and so to vary the position of the guide during the operation of trimming the outside edge of the forepart of the sole. By depressing the treadle, however, the operator may move the guide independently of the cam m<2> while the machine is in operation, the spring 5 being compressed. This enables the operator to vary the sole edge extension on the inside of the forepart. To assist the operator, the end 10 of a pin 8, which passes through the plunger 3 and through a slot 9 in the plunger casing, is used as an index to indicate the amount of compression of the spring 5; this compression is limited by an adjusting screw 11. When the machine is set for trimming ' Scotch ' edged soles, the cam m<2> does not rotate, and serves merely as a stop to determine the normal position of the guide f; the operator then controls the guide by means of the treadle to vary the width of the extension both on the inside and outside of the forepart.

Abstract: 20,236. Thompson, W. P., [Safe, Vault, and Protection Co.]. Sept. 12. Burglar and like alarms.-A pneumatic conduit 1 enclosing a conductor 3, which may be part of a burglar-alarm circuit, is connected to a gasholder 2 for maintaining a constant pressure and to the interior of a floating bell 10, which is suspended from a spring 25 and carries a double-flanged contact 26 which cooperates with an adjustable contact 27 to close an alarm circuit when the pressure rises or falls. A fall of pressure may result from piercing the tube 1 in an attempt to get at the conductor 3. A rise of pressure may occur through compression of the tube 1, part of which may be of larger diameter to increase the effect.
