Abstract: 4356. Dunkley, W. H. Feb. 22. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the propulsion of a Bath chair or a perambulator by a low-speed electric or other motor, which is mounted so as to drive the axle direct and thus to dispense with reducing-gear, and is specially applicable to the form of vehicle described in Specification No. 26,749, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Road vehicles]. The axle e passes through the motor d and is supported by springs, ball bearings being provided. One of the wheels is keyed to the shaft e, while the other wheel runs freely thereon, being preferably connected to the end of the shaft by a ball-and-socket joint. The fore axle as well as the rear axle may be driven by an electric motor. A secondary motor for charging the battery may be arranged on the axle e. The frame c is preferably tubular, and is attached to the motor by straps k and to the fore axle j at i. The front wheels are steering-wheels and are swivelled by the spindle u<2>, to which are also attached the terminals and switches. The batteries are carried in the bonnet. A brake may be connected at x or x'. The motor may be arranged so as to be used as a dynamo for charging, the spindle e being rotated. The motor may be arranged within the road wheel. According to the Provisional Specification, any other suitable form of motor may be used.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 27,509. Thompson, C. T., and Mitchell, F. P. Jan. 25, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Golf.-The head of a golf club, Fig. I, is formed of a shell of metal 1 preferably aluminium, and is provided with a neck for attachment to the shaft. Within this shell is inserted a mass of plastic material 10, such as gutta-percha, hard or vulcanized rubber, or a mixture of rubber and feathers, such materials being rendered plastic by heating or other means. This material is pressed into the shell so as to fill up a number of apertures 2, 3, 4, 5, the aperture 2 constituting the striking-face of the club. A larger inclined aperture 6 pierces the casting near the edge of the face next the shaft and passes beneath the shaft. In a modification, the aperture 3 is replaced by two or three smaller apertures ; in another modification, a number of the apertures are replaced by projections formed in the interior of the shell. In another form, the resilient material is made in two different parts 2 and 10, as shown in Fig. VII. The main portion 10 is preferably vulcanized rubber or vulcanized rubber mixed with feathers. The facing 2 is a harder material, preferably gutta-percha; this facing is further secured by means of a series of small apertures round the edge of the face of the casting.

Title: Improvements in Burners for Liquid Fuel.
Inventor: KERMODE JOHN JONATHAN
Filed: 1907-05-24
Granted: 1908-05-25
Abstract: 12,040. Kermode, J. J. May 24. Spray burners; burners, attaching and mounting.-A liquid-fuel burner is provided with special means for dispersing. the fuel, and is constructed so as to facilitate the 'cleaning and renewal of its parts. Oil supplied under pressure through a pipe 6, Fig. 1, to the annular space 11 between the body part 1 and a concentric inner barrel 2 passes thence to the nozzle 9 in the wide countersink 24, by way of three or more grooves 14, 15, Figs. 4 and 6, in the plug end 12 of the inner barrel, which fits close up to the cap 13 of the nut 8. The grooves 15 may be arranged tangentially to a circle of about the diameter of the nozzle, as shown in Fig. 6, or may be cut radially. Regulation is effected by means of a screwed spindle 3, Figs. 1 and 11, which passes through a stuffing-box 19, is provided on the flat end 22 with a small conical projection 23 against which the streams of liquid fuel impinge, and is adjusted by means of a graduated hand-wheel 20 which turns near the fixed pointer 21. The burner is detachably secured to the furnace front 5 by means of two or three projections 30, on a flange 4, which pass through slots in and engage under a flange 31; or the burner may be hinged to the furnace front, or is otherwise attached. In a modification, air also is supplied by a pump to the space 11 in the burner through an air vessel attached to the upper part of the apparatus. Or, alternatively, the air may be supplied along with the oil from the pump; for this purpose, a small snifting or non-return air valve may be fitted to the oil suction pipe. Various detail modifications are also described. Instead of the inner barrel 2 being screwed in the body 1 and locked in position by a nut 10, as in Fig. 1, it may be provided with a flanged end and be secured to the body by bolts, the meeting faces of the flange and body being provided with circular corrugations or serrations to secure an oil-tight joint without the use of packing; other means of attachment of the inner barrel may be used. To facilitate the renewal of worn-out parts, the end of the spindle 3 on which the coned projection is formed may be detachably secured to the main part by screwing &c., or it may be entirely separate therefrom, a spiral spring, being interposed between the portions; alternatively the spring may be connected to the parts by forming upon them short spiral grooves or by other means. Also, the orifice 9 and countersink 24 may be formed in a separate piece which is screwed into the cap 13 of the nut 8; or the orifice 9 only may be formed in a loose hardened steel disk adapted to be secured on the end of the burner body by the nut cap in which the countersink is formed. Otherwise, the capped nut 8 may be made integral with the burner body When light oil, such as pure .petroleum, alcohol, &c. is used, a vaporizer may be connected to the burner, the fuel in such case issuing as vapour.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Delivery Apparatus for Printing and like Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-02-10
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 2965. Newton, P. A., [Hoe, R.]. Feb. 10. Delivery apparatus.-In printing-machines, more especially of the type in which the. sheets are delivered by a carriage-delivery moving over the pile, a pressing-means is provided for operating upon the rear edge of the pile of sheets to cause them to lie flat upon the piling table. As shown, the sheets are delivered from cylinders 6 by tapes 11, and rollers 12, 13, 14 carried by a carriage 7 mounted on rolls such as 18, and the sheets are piled on a table 1 carried by sprocket chains which gradually lower the table. To press down the curled-up edges of the sheets, a number of presser heads,20, Figs. 1 and 4, are splined near collars 23 on vertical rods 22, which are reciprocated vertically by cam-operated fevers 33 engaging adjustable collars 34, 35 on the rods 22. The heads 20 can be depressed against the action of springs 24, and are provided with fingers 21 which are normally clear of the delivery apparatus; but after each sheet is delivered, the rods 22 are rotated in order to bring the fingers 21 over the edges of the pile by means of sleeves 37 with spiral grooves 38, which engage pins 40 in fixed brackets 29. The pressure of the heads 21 on the pile flattens the sheets. The heads 21 may be caused to act more than once between the accumulation of successive sheets or sets of sheets.

Title: Hydraulic Main Arrangement for Gas Works.
Inventor: NUTTALL LAWRENCE WHITTAKER
Filed: 1908-05-15
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 10,573. Nuttall, L. W. May 15. Hydraulic mains; ascension pipes.-In an hydraulic main, means are provided for ensuring an equal seal to all the retorts, for preventing the retention of tar in the main, and for sealing and unsealing the retorts. The bottom of the hydraulic main slopes from every part to a tar outlet T, and from this outlet the tar flows by a downwardly sloping tar main S, Fig. 8, to a tar tower Z, from which it is run off at intervals to a tar well. A dip-seal plate B, Fig. 2, extends along the hydraulic main, and division-plates D form compartments C into each of which the gas-out!et pipe H, Fig. 9, from one retort enters. The plate B is provided with notches N of equal depth and equidistant from the division-plates D, through which notches gas escapes from those retorts in action when they are sealed. To seal the retorts while some are being charged, and unseal them when all are working, a weir valve V on the tar tower Z is arranged to work at either of two predetermined heights. To seal the retorts, the valve is raised to its higher position and the hydraulic main flushed with liquor from an overhead tank Q. Excess of liquor flows through the tar main S before it reaches the valve V, and so helps forward the flow of tar. To unseal the retorts the valve is lowered. Alternatively, a continuous flow of liquor is passed through the mains and over the weir valve V. Instead of the pipes H, ordinary bridge and dip pipes may be employed.
