Patent GB-190809685-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for the Prevention of Overwinding at Collieries, Mines and other places.
Inventor: WOOD JOHN
Filed: 1908-05-04
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 9685. Wood, J. May 4. Overwinding, preventing; speed, governing.-In devices for preventing overwinding and overspeed of mine cages &c., of the kind in which a governor is adapted to swing one or more hooks into the path of a rotating tappet, the tappet is given a longitudinal as well as a rotary motion. The shaft E carrying a pair of tappets E<1> is driven from the engine through bevel and worm gearing. The hooks F are supported at the upper ends of levers F<1>, which are adapted to be swung inwards by means of bell-crank levers G<1> operatively connected to the governor lever H. The shaft E has a screwed portion engaging a fixed nut K so as to move longitudinally during its rotation, and to bring one or other of the tappets E<1> opposite the hooks F when nearing the end of the wind. If the speed is too high, one of the tappets E' engages one of the hooks F, thereby raising the levers F<1> and cross-head F<3> and disengaging a catch C. The rod B' connected to the throttle valve and brakes is then operated by springs &c. Two governors I, set for different speeds, may be used. The catch C may also be raised by a rope 0 connected to tappets in the path of the cage or other part moving with the cage, the rope being coupled to a rod having an inclined surface disposed below a pin or projection Q on the catch C.

Abstract: 8153. Carr, F. S. April 5. Stud-and-socket fastenings.-A fastening for gloves, carriage curtains, &c. comprises a stud member, Fig. 1, adapted to be engaged by a socket member, Fig. 2, which consists of a plate 12 having sewing-holes 15 and an orifice 13. The stud is formed from sheet metal with a flange 17 and a hollow post. It is split across the flange and top of the post by a slot 18, dividing it into side portions 16, which form a U-shaped spring. The side portions are recessed to form inclined faces 23 and shoulders 22, the faces 23 being parallel when the stud is in its expanded condition. The shoulders 22, whieh are inclined downwards and outwards from the sides of the post, retain the socket member when it is pressed over the stud, and prevent release by a direct upward pull. To release the parts, the socket 12 must be inclined as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5 and pulled in the direction of the arrow y to close the sides 16. When applied to carriage curtains &c. requiring a rigid support for the stud member, such as a post 26, Fig. 9, the flange 17 may be loosely confined by an overhanging offset flange 27 attached to the post.

Abstract: 17,754. Seymour, R. C. July 30. Associating and delivery apparatus.-A folding- machine of the kind described in Specification 27,888/08, is constructed with means for associating a number of sheets on the cylinder carrying the folding-blade, said means comprising a tucking- blade which can te rendered inoperative. As shown, arms 9, 37 mounted on a shaft 10 carry crank-arms 12 provided with fixed jaws 13, with which co-operate movable jaws 14 operated by swinging cams 32 to open and close the jaws. In the form described, they are adapted to be moved slowly during the folding position and to remain stationary until the sheet is received by grippers 30, 54 on a delivery cylinder 29, and then they are rotated rapidly to return them to their original position. The sheets are fed to the cylinder 28 by a guide 5, and may be gripped by grippers 59 on the cylinder. If sheets are to be associated before folding they are tucked into the grippers 59 by a tucker 45, Fig. 4, carried by an arm 47 on the shaft 10 and normally held inoperative by a spring 48. A cam 52 adjustable by bolts and slots may however be arranged in the path of a roller 51 on the tucker 45 to operate the same. The delivery cylinder 29 is of smaller radius than the length of the arms 9, 37, but is driven with the same angular velocity. The sheets are stipped from this cylinder to a conveyer 55 by a stripping-finger 56.

Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 14,864. Knapp, H. June 20. Blowpipe burners. - A blowpipe burner for autogenous welding, or for cutting metal, is provided with several oxygen nipples having different-sized apertures, and rotatably mounted in the mixing-chamber so that any nipple can be brought into operation. A similar arrangement of oxygen nipples 17<a> is mounted on the burner mouth when using the blowpipe for cutting metal. In one arrangement, the nipples 5, Fig. 3, are rotated by a wheel 9 and a spindle 8, and are held on a conical part of the casing by a spring 6, a tapering collar 10 on the spindle 8 being also forced by a spring 11 against the casing to prevent leakage. The proper position of the operative nipple in the mixing-chamber can be ensured either by a spring or other stopping-means, or by means of a scale on the wheel 9. The space between the outer surface of the operative nipple and the inner wall 14 of the mixing-chamber gradually contracts towards the outlet, and guide-plates are arranged at the nipple in order to increase the injector action. The detachable burner-mouth 16 is secured by bayonet-fastenings, and the oxygen and the acetylene supplies can be simultaneously shut off by a common plug-cock 20. In a second arrangement, the mixing-chamber 13, Fig. 4, is removed when it is required to rotate the nipples. The nipples 21 are rotatably mounted on a hollow spindle 1 capable of being laterally adjusted by means of a screw-thread, and are arranged to bear on two opposite sides of the wall of the mixing-chamber so that they are automatically centred when the mixing- chamber is screwed into position.

Abstract: 15,143. Klostermann, F. June 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Arc lamps.-In a brake lamp adapted to use mineralized carbons, a rocking frame 1, Fig. 1, is mounted on the spindle of a drum 16, which contains a driving-spring and serves as a pulley for a cord supporting the carbon-holders. Between upward extensions of the cheeks of the frame is pivoted an arm 21 carrying a steel brake 22, which is also connected by an adjustable spring 42 to a bracket 40 on the lamp-frame so as to lock the pulley to the frame when this is rocked by a series electro-magnet. The rocking frame carries a plate 14 in which a screw 15 is adjusted so that, at the same time as it meets a stationary part 37, the brake is disengaged from the drum 16. The rocking frame is connected to the piston of a unidirectional dash-pot, this piston being counterbalanced by a weight 11 or a spring. To the outer faces of the rocking frame are attached grooved cylinders 25, indicated in Fig. 2, which is a view at right-angles to Fig. 1. Rings 26, adjustably secured on the cylinders by set-screws, carry laminated armatures of shunt and series electromagnets, which have a rotational action upon the armature. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that the series electromagnet and its armature may be replaced by a weight or spring ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
