Title: Improvements in or relating to Whistles, and the like.
Filed: 1907-08-06
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 17,886. Soc. Delpeuch et Cie. Oct. 2,1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Whistles for motor-vehicles, steam-engines, &c. are actuated by the compressed gases from the exhaust pipe, a resonance chamber of variable size allowing variation of the sound. The operating-lever closes the end of the exhaust pipe (not shown) by a cap and at the same time uncovers the lateral holes g by drawing the piston f away. This motion of the piston also uncovers passages between the pyramidal part h and the tube a. The compressed gases passing through the two sets of holes produce a sound depending on the variable size of the space between the pyramid h and the piston f. Springs return the parts to their original position.

Patent GB-190820300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Telegraphic Relays.
Inventor: KITSEE ISIDOR
Filed: 1908-09-28
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 20,300. Kitsee, I. Sept. 28. Telegraphs.-In a receiving or repeating system for submarine telegraphy in which a mirror galvanometer reflects light upon a selenium relaydevice, a number of selenium cells are successively brought into and out of the operative position so as to allow the cells to recover their normal resistance between successive exposures to the light. The invention is described as applied to a system in which dots' and dashes' are signalled by alternate positive and negative impulses separated by intervals of short and long duration respectively. The sets of selenium cells 6 ... 10 and 11 ... 15 are carried by the ratchet-wheels 22, 25, and have one set of terminals connected to the common rings 16, and the other termina's provided with spring contacts for engaging the fixed contacts 17, 18, which are connected through the magnets 52, 56 and differential sounder or relay 30 to the local battery 29. When a positive impulse is received, the mirror 1 of the receiving-instrument reflects light from the source 3 on to the selenium cell 15, thereby reducing its resistance to such an extent that the relays 56, 30 are energized. The armature 33 of the relay 30 strikes the gong 35 and connects the battery 39 to the second cable. The relay 56 closes a circuit through the primary of a traosformer 43, and the impulses induced in its secondary, when this circuit is made and again when it is opened, cause the magnet 27 to turn the ratchet-wheel 25 through two steps, thereby substituting the next selenium cell for the cell 15. In the same way, a negative impulse throws the light upon the cell 9, thereby energizing the relays 52, 30, and substituting the next selenium cell for the cell 9. The differentially-wound receiver 30 thus acts as a sounder and as a relay.

Inventor: NOEL JOHN ABRAHAM
IPC: B61H9/00
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 23,155. Noel, J. A. Oct. 30. Brakes.-Mining and street trams and road and other vehicles are braked by centrifugallyoperated means when a predetermined speed is exceeded, or by hand at any lower speed, by means of stops, which are carried by the wheels and contact with fixed or movable stops carried by the bodies or axles of the vehicles. In one form, Fig. 1, a catch A with a weighted handle D is pivoted to a wheel spoke and has a nose C which contacts with a stop F on the vehicle body or axle when a certain speed is attained or when it is moved by hand. The stop F may be carried by a spring to lessen the shock. The wheel catch may be in the form of a sleeve sliding radially on a sooke or a special rod, or it may move in a guide I, Fig. 8, so as to contact with the stop F. In this form the operator may apply the brake by hand by raising the handle K and so raising the cam L from the frame J, the stop F being thus lowered into contact with the block H. Fig. 9 shows a pivoted stop with two arms F<1>, one of which is moved to engage with the spokes of the wheel when the stop F is struck. A further modification, Fig. 11, is described in which the wheel catch H, when under centrifugal action, tilts a lever Q rocking on a shaft B, which carries a knife-edge R holding a brake block M off the rim of the wheel against the action of a spring N. The brake E can also be applied by rocking the lever Q by band. The lever Q is continued to form a stop F, which may be engaged by the block H.

Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 9052. Freeman, R. A. April 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Cylinder machines; stopping and tripping arrangements.-Relates to means controlled by the sheet of piper for tripping the printing-members, throwing out the driving-mechanism, and braking the fly-wheel of a printing-machine. In the example shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the printing- couple comprises a type bed and impression cylinder reciprocated in opposite directions, tripping being effected by lifting the cylinder clear of the type bed. The impression cylinder 1 travels in bearings supported on pillars 3, having cams 4 at their lower ends which rest on movable cams 5. Radial arms on these cams are connected by a link 8, which is reciprocated periodically by a lever 9 to raise and lower the cylinder 1. The lever 9 is oscillated by a link 10 reciprocated by a cam 13, which has a slot 12 adapted to engage a pin 11 on the lever 9. The link 10 is lifted clear of the pin 11 during each cycle by a cam 15 and bell-crank 14, and, should it be necessary to trip the machine, this link is held raised by an arm 16 on the shaft 18. On the movement of the link 10 in its raised position, it slides over the pin 11, and at the same time a lug 17 thereon engages a contact-piece 51 on a crank 50 and applies a brake 46 to the flywheel 47. The sheets are fed by a series of endless bands 19 and drop rollers 20 up to stops 26. A feeler 37 is located over an aperture in the feed-board, and, when a sheet is present, is held raised so that the tail thereof engages a recess 40 in a transverse bar 30, which tends to move to the left under the influence of a spring 31. A lever 34 engaging a cam 35 on a shaft 36 controls the motion of the bar 30 and resets it after an operation. If a sheet is absent from the feed-board the finger 37 falls and releases the bar 30, which, at an instant determined by the cam 35, moves to the left under the influence of the spring 31. The end of the bar 30 engages a lever 43 and releases the lever 42 controlling the main driving-clutch 41, and at the same time, by means of an arm 33, rocks the shaft 18, thus tripping the cylinder 1 and applying the brake 46 as described.
