Title: Improvements in Pencil Sharpeners.
Inventor: MOSLEY ALFRED MILLETT
Filed: 1907-04-30
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 10,041. Mosley, A. M. April 30. Pencil-sharpeners.-The pencil is held in a sliding frame so that it may be alternately inserted between fixed blades and withdrawn, two sides of the pencil being cut simultaneously. Two blades 14 are secured to outwardly bent lips 3 formed on the arms of a bent resilient member 1.

Title: A Feeding Attachment for Thrashing Machines.
Inventor: ROBINSON JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-08-06
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 17,850. Robinson, J. Aug. 6. Thrashing machines.- In feeding-apparatus for thrashing-machines, a chain elevator with crossbars b<1> provided with backwardly bent spikes b<2> forwards the sheaves beneath two S-shaped knives c, which overlap and revolve in opposite directions on the shafts c<3> to cut the bands. Fixed spikes d then pull the sheaves to pieces, and the material is forwarded to a curved feed - plate f, strengthened by crosspieces f<2> carrying slotted brackets f<3> by which the plate is adjustably supported. Forks g, mounted upon links j and cranks h, work through slots in the plate, and above it a slotted regulator plate l is mounted on an adjusting-screw m.

Patent GB-190718607-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pressure Reducing Valves.
Inventor: BARR JOHN
Filed: 1907-08-17
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 18,607. Barr, J. Aug. 17. Reducing-valves.-In a reducing-valve, the main valve C is operated by a piston D<1> the top of which is put alternately into communication with the inlet and discharge passages A<1>, A<2> by a valve H controlled by a spring- weighted diaphragm J' open to the fluid pressure on the discharge side only, through a passage L. In operation, pressure on the inlet side A<1> is communicated through the passages K<1>, K', the inlet port H<2> in the valve H, and the hollow screws K<3> to the piston chamber D, so that the valve C is kept closed on its seating B<1> when the pressure in the outlet passage A<2> is unduly high. If this pressure falls unduly, it ceases to hold up the diaphragm, which is then forced down by the spring J<5>, thereby opening the valve H. This action shuts off the chamber D from the inlet communications, and opens it to discharge through the hollow screws K<3>, the port H<1>, and the passage L. The pressure is consequently relieved behind the valve which is then opened by the inlet fluid pressure against the action of the spring K. The diaphragm J<2> may be replaced by a piston or plunger.

Title: Improvements in Haulage Clips.
Inventor: FENNER ALBERT
Filed: 1907-10-09
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 22,232. Fenner, A. Oct. 9. Rope grips.-A haulage clip of the kind in which the jaws are operated by a screw is provided with means for rapidly connecting and disconnecting. Fig. 1 shows the clip in elevation, and Fig. 4 is a plan of the locking-lever. The grip has a fixed jaw a integral with an arm b, which extends upwards and is provided with a plain hole to receive the operating-screw d, loosely connected to the movable jaw c. On the screw d is mounted the boss of a lever g having a tapped hole and provided with upstanding projections h adapted tq enter a slot i formed in the arm b. The surfaces of the slot i and projections h are curved in such a way that, as the lever g is turned through a right-angle, the projections h are caused to enter or to leave the slot i. When the opening of the jaws is to be adjusted, the lugs h are prevented from rotating by engagement in the slot i so that the boss g may act as a nut for the screw d. The lever g is then turned through a right-angle into the position shown in Fig. 1, causing the jaws to grip the rope. The grip is released by turning back the lever g. The jaws of the clip may be curved as shown, and the arm b is provided with a lug l to receive the tub hook m.

Title: Improvements in Percussive Tools.
Inventor: BELL KENNETH SOMERSET
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1909-04-27
Abstract: 9122. Bell, K. S. April 27. Rock drills.-Relates to percussive tools of the type in which two hammers strike a single bit. The cylinder 1 slides in an outer casing 2, and motive fluid is supplied to the space 3 to operate the tool and to feed it forward, exhaust passing through openings 5. In the position shown, motive fluid passes from the inlet 15 through a port 16 to the rear face 12 of the solid hammer 6, and through passages 18, 19 to the front face 13 of the hammer 7, exhaust from the space 27 passing through passages 26, 28 and an exhaust port (not shown). The hammer 6 moves forward and the hammer 7 moves backward. When the head of hammer 6 uncovers the passage 20, pressure fluid passes to the rear face 21 of the valve and balances the pressure on the front face 22, and the spring 23 then moves the valve to the left. Pressure fluid then passes through passages 25, 26 to the space 27, to act on the hammer faces 11, 14 to move the hammer 6 back and the hammer 7 forward, exhaust passing through passages 19, 19a,.24. When the head of the hammer 6 passes the passage 19<a>, compression occurs and the valve is moved backward.. To ensure synchronous working, the hammers are made of equal weight, and the pressure faces 11,12 are made equal respectively to the pressure faces 13,14.

Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 29,273. Soc. Anon. des Plaques et Papiers Photographiques et A. LumiÞre et Ses Fils. Feb. 6, [Convention date]. Colour photography, screens for. -A process for making colour screens consists in successively applying to portions of a permeable layer colouring-matters or mixtures of colouring- matters capable of being precipitated by one another, in order to prevent the penetration of any one of these colours in the parts of the permeable layer already coloured by the other colours. A gelatine surface, for example, is protected by an impression of a greasy ink in lines or dots covering two-thirds of the surface. The uncovered gelatine is coloured orange by immersion in a solution of eosine scarlet. The surface is dried and the greasy resist removed by a solvent. A further greasy impression is made crossways and the surface immersed in a mixture of yellow-metanile-S and cyanine B, to which is added an iron salt. The precipitate formed by the reaction of iron salt on any unprotected parts coloured with the eosine scarlet prevents the colour from penetrating into the latter parts. The surface is next dried and the greasy resist removed 'by a solvent. The surface is then treated with a basic violet colouring matter, such as methyl-violet, which colours the remaining uncoloured parts of the gelatine, and the precipitation of which by the acid colouring-matters already employed prevents the penetration into the parts already coloured.
