Title: Improved Device for Indicating the Correct Direction for Sighting Objects to be Photographed.
Inventor: MUSCHKE ALFRED
Filed: 1907-08-14
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 18,388. Muschke, A. Aug. 14. Sundials.-A device similar to an exposure meter which indicates the direction in which a photograph should be taken at any particular hour of the day in any weather, or alternatively the best time to photograph from any particular standpoint, can be used also as a sundial. The base carries a compass, and is circularly graduated as shown. The lower disk b is graduated in a manner analogous to a sundial, being divided into five-hour divisions corresponding to five different solar positions. The upper disk a is slotted at h to indicate the hour for any particular month on the disk b. To get the direction to photograph at any time, the disk b is set N. and S., and the disk c is then rotated to expose the hour according to the particular month. The arrows on the disk indicate the required direction. For angular illumination the disk b is first set as required. To get the correct hour to photograph, the base a is set N. and S., the disk b is turned according to the lighting angle, and the disk c turned towards the object, the hour showing on the disk b giving the required time. The apparatus can be used as a sundial by providing a vertical rod in the centre, and turning the disk c until the shadow is along the cut h.

Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 1439. Buffalo Speciality Co., and Cabana, O. Jan. 21. Sawing.-In a machine of the type comprising a supporting-frame secured to the floor and adjacent wall and a head in which are mounted two spindles, one carrying a circular saw and the other a gearwheel which engages with a pinion on the tool spindle, the gear is driven by a pedal arrangement through a free-wheel clutch, the driving-mechanism being concealed within the supporting- pillar, or directly by a belt on its periphery. The tool is mounted on a spindle g, Fig. 2, carried by a head f, which is supported by a standard a. The head also carries a spindle h, on which is mounted an internally toothed gear wheel l, which engages a pinion k on the spindle g. The wheel l is provided with a broad flange so that it may be used as a belt pulley. A sprocket wheel p is also mounted on the shaft h and is clutched to a boss m on the wheel l by a free - wheel clutch. The sprocket wheel p is driven by a metal strip 3 concealed in the standard, and wrapped round d a pulley on a sleeve 5 on the spindle h. The strip is operated by a pedal and controlled by a spring 6. The pulley sleeve 5 is notched as at 8 to allow, the free-wheel mechanism to be readily removed. A work support having two faces is adjustably mounted in the head. The head f may be made in two pieces secured together by bolts to facilitate cleaning.
Patent GB-190802328-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Braking Means for Automobile Vehicles.
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 2328. Soc. Anon. des Anciens Etablissements Panhard & Levassor. March 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for braking petrol motors &c. having a four-stroke cycle by modifying the action of the exhaust valves. Communication with the carburettor being closed, the exhaust cam-shaft is moved longitudinally by a system of levers or otherwise, causing additional projections on the cams to come into operation. The first or suction stroke offers resistance by forming a vacuum. A momentary lift of the valve by the first projection A, Fig. 1, then breaks the vacuum by opening to the atmosphere. The air thus admitted is then compressed during the second or compression stroke, but is released at the end by the second projection B. The third or expansion stroke has the same action as the first. During the fourth stroke, the cam acts normally. There are thus three resistant strokes per cycle.
Patent GB-190808255-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Brake Operating Mechanism for Tramway Cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: DICKINSON ALFRED
Filed: 1908-04-14
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 8255. Dickinson, A. April 14. Brakes. - The brakes of tramcars and like vehicles are operated by screw mechanism in which a quick-threaded screw is used to take up the slackness in the brake connexions and bring the blocks rapidly on to the braking-surface, and in which power is then applied by means of a slow-threaded screw. The screws may be operated by bevelgearing as shown, or other means such as chains and toothed wheels may be used. The quick-threaded screw F, which brings the brake blocks on, is connected with the brake-rodconnexion f<3> by means of a nut f<11>. The bearing f<12> and the rod f<3> are of such a shape as to prevent rotation of the rod f<3>. The other end f<4> of the screw F is feathered, and enters the box D through a bearing-boss ; it is provided with a bevel-wheel f<5> which is connected to it by the feathers during rotation but is not affected by lineal movement of the end f<4>. The bevel - wheel f<5> is rotated from a hand-wheel through a pinion f <6>, hollow shaft f<1>, and pinions f<10>, f<8>. The slowthreaded screw G has a collar g<3> which takes into a recess in the end of the screw F ; this connexion allows the screws to rotate independently of each other, while at the same time lineal movement of the screw G draws the feathered end f<4> of the screw F through the bevel-wheel f<5>, and thus gives lineal movement to the screw F. The screw G has keyways, and keys on the bearing-socket g<7> permit only lineal movement to be transmitted to the screw through the pinions g<5>, g<10>, shaft g<1>, and pinions g<13>, g<11> by the hand-wheel g<2>. To apply the brakes, the screw F is first rotated and draws forwards the rod f<3>; afterwards the screw G is moved into the socket g<7>, drawing with it the screw F and rod f<3>.

Paper - carriages ; carriage - shift mechanism ; letter-spacing mechanism. -Relates to means for guiding the paper-carriage in the case-shift movement, and to the mounting of the carriage feed-rack. The carriage is of the kind in which an impression surface 11 and a paper roll 8 are mounted on a frame 4, which bears on an abutment 12 carried by a tierod 13, which rides on slides 15 and may be adjusted in length. (1) The carriage is mounted by balls on a rail 30 secured to arms 28 which are secured to a rock-shaft journaled in arms 23 on the tie-rod 13. The carriage is provided with a rail 17, to which is adjustably secured a rail 18, the rail 30 being grooved to receive balls 32, which engage a groove in the rail 17 and a curved flange 22 on the rail 18. (2) Shift mechanism comprising a lever 40 is connected by a rod 37 to the rail 30, the rod being provided with a ball 38, which is socketed in the lever 40, and a ball 35, which is socketed in plates 34, 36 on a bracket 33 secured to the rail 30. The carriage is balanced by an elliptical spring 41 having an adjusting-screw 42. When the carriage is shifted up or down, the rail 30 describes an arc, but the carriage is guided vertically by the abutment 12, the arrangement of the balls 32 and the flange 22 permitting the carriage to tilt relatively to the rail 30. The arms 28 are secured to each end of the rail 30 and compel an equal movement of both ends of the carriage. (3) The carriage is traversed for letter-spacing on the rail 30 by means of an escapement pinion 45, which engages a feedrack 44 mounted on the carriage. To permit the rack to remain in mesh when the carriage is shifted, the rack is secured to arms 47 pivoted at 48 to brackets 50 on the carriage. The rack rides on a roll 51 journaled on the tie-rod 13 ; when the carriage is shifted, the swinging arms 47 permit the rack to remain in mesh.
