Title: Improvements in Time Indicators.
Inventor: GRUDZINSKI STEFAN RITTER VON
Filed: 1906-10-24
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 23,630. Grudzinski, Stefan, Ritter von. Oct. 24. Time - checks for games.-The clock-work is adapted to indicate separate short intervals of time in connexion with the use of billiard tables &c. by means of a pointer 6 on a dial 8, and the sum of such intervals by another pointer on a separate dial, a device being provided for stopping the clock-work and returning the pointer 6 to zero. A sleeve 17 carrying the pointer 6 is driven by friction wheels 12, 16 through gearing 10, 11 from the shaft 5 of the clock-work, the wheels 11, 12 being mounted on the lever 13 which is pivoted on the shaft 5. The sleeve carrying the second pointer is concentric with the sleeve 17 and is geared to the shaft 5. To stop the clock when the time expires, the spindle 22 and disk 26 are turned to the left by means of a special key so as to apply the spring 23 to the balance wheel 25. The push 34 is then operated, rocking the spring- actuated lever 30, of which the nose enters the notch 29 in the disk 26 and the upper arm engages and turns the lever 13, and thereby disengages the friction wheels 12, 16 and allows the spring 18 to return the hand 6 to zero. The clock is re-started by turning the spindle 22 to the right, when the spring 24 wipes the balance wheel. A pin 28 works in a slot 27 in the disk 26, and a triangular cam 35, on which the spring-actuated arm 36 bears, ensures the full turning of the spindle 22 in either direction.

Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 25,420. Fox, H. J. Nov. 10. Governing or controlling pumps. - Relates to apparatus for regulating the supply to and discharge from tanks, of the kind in which a valve fitted to a pipe for supplying liquid is adapted to be closed by a float located in a subsidiary tank for the purpose of holding such valve open or closed for a predetermined interval. A valve seat is arranged on the bottom of the subsidiary tank, and the valve is mounted on a guided spindle, which carries the subsidiary float. The apparatus may also be adapted for regulating the supply of steam to a pump for discharging the tank. The subsidiary tank h is arranged inside the main tank a, and the float d operates the fluid-supply valve c. The valve is mounted on the spindle l, working in the guides m and carrying the subsidiary float k. The tanks being empty, liquid is fed to the tank a, and the valve j is closed by the rising of the float k. On the level of the liquid rising still farther, the liquid overflows into the tank h, thus raising the float d and closing the valve c, which has, up to this point, remained full open. The valve c is kept closed until the float k falls, which takes place when the tank is discharged.

Title: Improvements in Central Buffer Couplings.
Inventor: SCHARFENBERG KARL
Filed: 1907-03-06
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 5418. Scharfenberg, K. March 6. Couplings, automatic.-In central buffer couplings of the type in which a link engages a pivoted hook or tumbler, the hook, instead of being weighted or balanced so as to return to the coupled position, is provided with a spring for that purpose ; further, the arrangement is such as to dispense with the locking-bolt usually employed for preventing accidental uncoupling. A tumbler, mounted on a vertical pivot b, is provided on one side with a hook opening a and on the opposite side with a link c, and is controlled by a spring f. Fig. 1 shows the parts in the position ready for coupling. As the vehicles approach, the links c become wedged at their forward ends between the tumblers and inclined guides e provided on the coupler heads, and are therefore forced backwards until the tumblers arrive at the position shown in Fig. 2, whereupon the links are able to move forward again and become coupled under the action of the springs f as shown in Fig. 3. The pivot of the link c and the opening a are arranged at equal distances from the pivot b, so that uncoupling does not occur unless the tumblers are turned back to the position shown in Fig. 2.

Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 9553. Efford, W. J., and Dabner, E. H. April 24. Lime kilns.-In a series of lime kilns, the waste heat is utilized by passing it from the top of one or more burning-kilns to the bottom of one or more drying-kilns ; means are also provided to facilitate charging and stoking the kilns. As shown in Fig. 1, the fuel hopper e and hopper g for introducing the chalk to be calcined are arranged on opposite sides of each kiln. Damper-controlled openings m at the top of each kiln lead into a flue l which communicates with side flues o, p by means of damper-controlled openings r, s, Fig. 3. The side flues are connected at one end of the series of kilns and communicate with the chimney stack q, Fig. 2, at the other. Horizontal flues v and vertical flues u lead from the side flue o to beneath the grates x of each kiln. When in operation, the waste gases from the burning-kiln b pass through the damper-controlled opening r into the flue o and thence into the flues v, u leading to beneath the drying-kiln, the damper D of the latter kiln being open. The gases escape from the top of the drying-kiln through the opening s to the flue p and then pass to the stack q. During this operation the dampers A, C in the flue o, and the dampers controlling the passages s, v of the kiln bare closed.

Title: Improvements in Presses for the Manufacture of TUbes, Rods, and the like from Blanks.
Inventor: SCHWIEGER ARNOLD
Filed: 1907-06-03
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 12,847. Schwieger, A. June 3. Squirting.-In a press for squirting pipes, rods, &c., the mandrel has a conical end 11 and a tapered body passing loosely through the hole 9 in the plunger 8 which is hollowed out at 10. During squirting, the pressure of the fluid metal on the end 11 tends to force the mandrel backwards, and metal is forced through the hole 9 and ensures a minimum of friction between the plunger 8 and mandrel 3. The matrix 5 is locked in position by bevel-ended bolts 15, which are operated hydrauli-. cally and may be connected with buffers 17 for the plunger 8, so as to move the buffers out of the way when the matrix is released and thus permit of the extrusion of the wad. The matrix-holder 7 is gripped by a ring 35 on a table 34 and is moved by means of the hydraulic cylinder 44 into the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. A panch 40 on s pivoted holder 39 is turned into line with the die 5, and on the advance of the table 34 and holder 7 the punch passes through the matrix and separates the finished work from the wad. The buffers 17 may be fixed, and arranged to engage others on a ring rotatable on the plunger 8.
Patent GB-190713562-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Optical Squares for Range Finders & the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR HAROLD DENNIS
Filed: 1907-06-12
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 13,562. Taylor, H. D. June 12. Range - finders; optical squares.- Relates (1) to a method of mounting two plane reflectors, forming an optical square for use in range-finders, and (2) to a method of optically working plane parallel reflectors for making such squares. The two reflectors M, Fig. 11, are fixed by their lower edges in slots cut in a frame made from nickel-steel with the same thermal coefficient of expansion as that of glass. Figs. 11<a>, 11<b>, and 11<c> are transverse sections of the frame showing the securing-devices. A bar b fastened to the frame carries an upright U, the upper end of which is fitted with a spring clip p and an adjusting-screw S1. Adjusting-screws S1, Fig. 11<a>, are also fitted in the frame at each of the lower ends of each reflector. The adjustment of the two reflectors having been made, each one of them is then rigidly fixed in the frame by four Portland cement plugs. These plugs f, g are made by forcing the cement into tapped and longitudinally grooved holes in the frame, coming opposite to recesses formed in the glass plates, Fig. 11<b>. The rectangular reflectors may be made from circular disks by first cutting about two-thirds of the way through the glass around the rectangular outline. To secure a high degree of parallelism of the two glass surfaces, a special method of testing is adopted. The first surface having been worked in the usual way, four wafers of black or dark paper are lightly attached to it before the glass is blocked for the working of the second surface. Those wafers permit the parts covered by them to be utilized as reflecting surfaces to test the parallelism from time to time in the final working.

Title: Improvements in connection with Electro-magnets.
Inventor: PINCKNEY PERCIVAL
Filed: 1907-08-15
Granted: 1908-11-16
Abstract: 18,441. Pinckney, P. Aug. 15. Electro-magnets.-A straight cylindrical electromagnet is provided with a separate armature for each pole, and the two armatures act in unison to move a valve or brake rod &c. in one or the other direction. Each armature consists of a number of iron washers 23, Fig 2. which are attracted in succession to the pole-pieces of the solenoid core 9. Fig. 2 shows a double-acting modification in which a movement of the valve-rod 2 may be made in either direction. Each solenoid is provided with a casing 6, bobbin 8, core 9, a core-plug 10 of boxwood &c. enclosed by rubber tubing, a tubular bush 11, and two tubes 12 sliding upon a rod 13. The armatures 23 are attached to flanged telescoping non-magnetic tubes 20 by bevelling and brazing &c. the corresponding edges ; the tubes 20 rest upon spring boxes 16 and are provided with slots through which pass driving-pins 22 connected to the sliding tubes 12. One of the tubes 12 of each solenoid is connected to the valve-rod 2 by an arm 3, while the second tube 12 is connected to the rod 2 by a pivoted lever 4. The lower solenoid shows the armatures 23 in their unattracted position separated by the springs 17. On passing a current through one of the coils 7, the armatures are attracted in turn to the corresponding core 9 as shown in the top solenoid, and the valve-rod is moved in one direction or the other. In a single-acting modification for exerting either a thrust or a pull in one direction only, and specially applicable to railway, tramway, colliery, lift, crane, and other brakes, the pull of the compound armature at one pole is communicated directly to the brake &c. rod, while the compound armature at the other pole acts upon the rod through pivoted levers connected to the armature and projections on the rod. The driving-pins and slots employed in the first modification are dispensed with, and the telescoping brass tubes 20 are formed at the ends remote from the armatures 23 with flanges which overlap. According to the Provisional Specification, simple or non-telescoping armatures may be employed ; the electro-magnets may be of the horseshoe or other type ; several pairs of electro-magnets may act at the same time upon an armature ; either a continuous or an alternating - current may be employed; and the apparatus may be used for operating slide valves, bolts, locks, switches, &c.
Patent GB-190719007-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanical Movements, particularly applicable to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1907-08-23
Granted: 1908-08-24
Abstract: 19,007. Boult, A. J., [Davis Sewing Machine Co.]. Aug. 23. Cams. - Continuous rotary movement is converted into oscillatory movement by means of a cam and a forked lever arranged so that the cam is always in contact with both arms of the lever. Provision is also made for varying the amount of reciprocation, which is preferably transverse, given to a longitudinally vibrating member. The invention is described as a means for reciprocating the feed - mechanism and the needle - bar of a Davis sewing-machine, the feed motion being positive in both directions. The cam A, Fig. 2, on the driving-shaft 14 of the sewing-machine is made up of two concentric portions, between points 2 and 3, and between points 4 and 5, and two eccentric portions intermediate between them shaped to give uniform motion to the lever in contact therewith. The forked lever has two unequal arms, the shorter one B carrying a roll b to run against the edge of the cam, the longer arm B' having its inner surface centred about the pin of the roll b. The camplate thus bears against the roll on one arm and against some part of the surface of the other arm the point of contact varying between the extreme point and a point low down on the arm. By this means a great deal of wear is saved. The arms are connected above the shank by a bolt B<8> which draws them together slightly to compensate for wear. The forked lever is mounted on the tapered pin B', Fig. 5, and to the front of the shank B' is fixed a vertical slideway B<7>, in which slides a cross-head C, the movement of which is limited by stops. The cross-head C has a pin C' projecting from its surface, this pin fitting in a pivot hole in a saddle which embraces the needle-bar and the feed-bar. The cross-head carries on its rear side a rack f meshing with a pinion F let into the slideway, this pinion being mounted concentrically with the fork, and having a stem f<1>, Fig. 5, extending through the centre of the pivot stud B<3>. A thumb-nut F<1> is mounted on the end of the stem and is graduated to show the length of stitch to be taken, this length depending on the distance between the centres C', B<3>. The cam acts against the roll b on the short arm to give the forward feed, and against the surface of the long arm to give the backward feed, the roll thus taking the great part of the wear. The pin a on the face of the cam carries a roll which co-operates with a box cam to reciprocate the needle-bar vertically.
