Title: Improvements in the Mode of Driving Road Vehicles.
Inventor: RENSHAW WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1907-03-25
Granted: 1908-03-25
Abstract: 7081. Renshaw, W. J. March 25. Compressed-air engines.-Relates to reversible pressure motors supplied with motive fluid from two separate sets of supply pipes and applied to vehicles of the type in which each wheel is driven by an independent motor. The valve gearing for the motors is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4. The singleacting cylinders b are provided with piston valves b<1> continuously operated from the crank-shaft, the valve check being connected by passages d', d<2>. The passages d<1> are used during forward drive and the passages d<2> for backward drive. Pressure fluid is supplied through pipes k<1> for movement in one direction, each of the corresponding piston valves being adapted to regulate the admission of fluid to two cylinders. For movement in the other direction, pressure fluid is supplied through the pipes l<1>, the other pair of valve chests being then used.

Title: Improvements in Rope and Cable Grips and Clips for Underground Haulage and the like purposes.
Inventor: SISSENS HERBERT
Filed: 1907-04-25
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 9619. Sissens, H. April 25. Rope grips for underground haulage comprise a tapered hinged grip a having a cup head i and a tapered sleeve c carrying a piece e having a flange e<1> held in place by a collar g, fixed by a bolt or rivet h to, or made in one with, the sleeve c. The parts c, e, and g each have an opening to enable them to be placed on the grip a over the rope, and the part c is fixed to the grip by a chain d. The links or chains attached to the hook of the corve are fastened to lugs f or to a link j fastened to lugs f<1>. To ensure the disconnexion of the grip, two projections a<1> are formed at the smallest end of the tapered jaws. Should the haulage rope and clip twist, the piece e slides round the sleeve c and thus there is no twisting of the chains or links connecting the grip to the corve. The Provisional Specification describes a modification in which the grip a is externally square in section with the sleeve c to correspond internally.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Manufacturing Hollow Blocks, Bricks, Slabs, and the like.
Inventor: BALG BERNHARD
Filed: 1907-06-21
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 14,376. Balg, B. June 21. Building - blocks; moulding building - blocks. - -Hollow blocks closed on all sides are formed by sealing the ends of portions cut from a hollow bar of clay by means of plates of clay applied either in the moist state or cemented after burning. Fig. 2 shows one form of block in which recesses are formed in the ends of the hollow block a to receive similarly-shaped sealing-plates d. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the ends of the blocks are straight and are covered by plates f. The hollow bar a is formed by extending clay through a die o, Fig. 6, which is so shaped as to provide portions d for forming the sealing-plates f, these portions d being severed from the bar a by means of a wire r; or the sealing-plates may be formed separately. Fig. 5 shows a machine for cutting the recessed ends of the blocks a, Fig. 2. Cutting-wires l<1>, l<2> are carried by stirrups b<1>, b<2> pivoted in a frame e, which is reciprocated vertically by means of a lever s acting through a link x and rods t. During the reciprocation of the frame e, pins c fixed to the stirrups b<1>, b' ride in guides p and cause the wires to cut out the recesses, as shown in Fig. 2. The frame e also carries curved rods h<1>, h<2> which operate slides carrying perforating-pins which are forced into the clay bar to form ventilation holes q, Fig. 2.
Patent GB-190714684-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Filed: 1907-06-25
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 14,684. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 25. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to the governing- mechanism for the admission valves of elastic-fluid turbines described in Specification No. 5451, A.D. 1906, and consists in modifications in the general arrangement and in detail construction of the shaft governor. The governor is mounted upon an auxiliary shaft 28 which is driven from the main shaft by worm gearing. The shaft 28 is divided into two parts 28, 22 which are connected by a wobbler shaft 29. The movement of the governor is imparted to a spindle 67, a collar on which rotates between thrust plates in a casing 10, which is pivoted between the branches of the forked arm of a bellcrank lever 71. The other arm 74 of the lever carries a pin having a spherical end 77 socketed in a bearing in the end of the eccentric shaft 19, which actuates the valve-operating dogs, to transmit to it axial movement according to the movement of the governor for the purpose of engaging or disengaging the valve-rods and the dogs, as described in the above Specification. Lubricating-oil is forced into certain of the bearings by a gear-pump. The worm-wheel 21 and the valve-operating shaft and dogs work in oil baths. To lubricate certain other parts, the shafts are provided with disks 82 having spiral scoops 83, which pick up the oil and carry it to holes in the shaft from which it is suitably distributed. The governor, Fig. 5, comprises two masses 44, 45 pivoted at 42, 43 and held in opposition to the centrifugal force by a single spring 46, which is pivotally connected to each mass by a knife-edge bearing 49. The masses are provided with lugs 58, 59 so that the oppositely moving ends interlock at a maximum speed. To vary the mass of the rotating masses 44, 45, holes are tapped in them to permit the insertion of one or other of a number of plugs of various sizes. The angular movement of the masses 44, 45 is transmitted to the spindle 67 by links 64, 65. These are pivoted to blocks mounted on pins 60, 61 secured to the masses. At their other ends, the links are pivoted to a block 66 secured to the spindle 67.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Friction Clutches.
Inventor: YOUNG LEWIS GINTER
Filed: 1907-07-18
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 16,521. Young, L. G., and Powell, N. M. July 18. Clutches.-A. casing 16, Fig. 1, is secured to the driving-shaft 10 of a motor-car &c. and carries one end of a spring 18, which encloses ring segments 21, 22 adapted to be tightened upon a drum ring 12. This ring is screwed and keyed to a core piece 12<1> which has an extension 14, recesses at 15 forming a bearing for the shaft 10. The spring 18 is also attached to a crank-pin 20 formed integrally with a shaft 28, which is located in a bearing in the flange 25 of the casing 16 and carries a lever arm 29, which has a roller 30 co-operating with a cam 31. This cam is mounted on the shaft extension 14 by means of a feather, and is pressed towards the clutch by a spring 37 to put the clutch in action, but a lever 36 may be depressed to withdraw it and release the clutch. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, instead of a spring, two clamping-members 52, pivoted together at 59 and engaging cranks 54 ... 57, are operated as before. The ring sections 21, 22 may be of any suitable crosssection. Oil ducts 38, 40, 41 ... 46, Fig. 1, serve to convey oil to the interior of the drum and from there, by centrifugal action, to the ring segments 21, 22.

Abstract: 18,705. Bracy, E. L. Aug. 19. Parcelling cigarettes etc.; packeting granular material.-In machines of the type described in Specification No. 28,563, A.D. 1906, a flat blank, Fig. 3, adapted to be folded into a complete envelope or box, replaces the shell and drawer described in the above Specification. The blanks are fed from the right, Fig. 4, into recesses b in the intermittently rotating mould wheel a, so that the back m, Figs. 3 and 4, lies above the mould and the front r projects radially inwards. A plunger on the slide k forces the portion m to the bottom of the recess and turns up the parts p. On arriving at stage 38, Fig. 4, cigarettes, loose or previously enclosed in foil, or other goods in block, granular, &c. form, are fed into the mould. During further rotation, the part r is engaged and partly folded over by a cam-disk 37 on a bracket 37<#>, the parts n, o being previously folded into position by guides x, y. On reaching the folder z, which is mounted on a slide 2 carried on a fixed bar 3, the front r is turned completely on to the tuck-in flap o, and by means of a projection on the slide the casing is forced out on a fixed guideway f. The folder z is actuated by a link 4, a lever 5 and an eccentric. A gumming-wheel 14 on arms 16, 19 is actuated by the cam 20 alternately to contact with a gumming-roll 23 and to apply gum through slots in the guide f to the undersides of the parts s. The casing is fed into a pocket h on an intermittently rotating wheel g, the parts s are turned down by the yielding side plates 30, and the packet is pushed out by the arm 33. .
