Title: Improvements in Perambulators.
Inventor: BAUR VICTOR
Filed: 1907-07-12
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 16,102. Baur, V. July 12. Perambulators.-The body of a perambulator is adapted to be rocked when desired, though normally it rests firmly on its underframe. The body is supported by two springs a. To bars b, c fixed to the springs, and to bars d, e fixed to the body, are attached bent rods a which serve as guides for two flat barsf, g, the upper ends of which are connected by a pin i fastened to the bar f by nuts but traversing a ball bearing carried by the bar g. When the body is to be rocked, the barf is lifted by a knob o. An abutment k on the bar g abuts against the guides h so that the body is also lifted. Two springs m fixed to the bar b then engage notches n in the bar f. The knob o has at its inner end a cross-head p, which a spring q tends to thrust inwards. By pulling the knob o and rotating it, the cross-head p bears against plates r attached to the springs m, which are disengaged from the notches n. A cap s fixed to the pin i encloses a portion of the ball bearing and so limits the rocking movement. The two ends of the vehicle are similar.

Abstract: 18,619. Stuhldreier, W. Aug. 17. Loom jacquards. -Double-lift openshed jacquards are provided with h a single deflecting- grating m, which is moved sideways by eccentrics or levers to push the free limbs of the double lifting-wires f, g, h, i on the knives d of the descending griff out of the path of the knives c of the ascending griff. The limbs of the lifting-wires are made with bends g<4>, g<5>, so that when the grating is moved to one side its rods pass into the bends of the lifting-wires in the open-shed position and prevent these wires from being thrown off the fixed open-shed knives k. The lifting-wires engaged by the rising griff are not disengaged by the grating, but are bent. When the lifting-wires are in their lower positions, angle-parts i' thereon rest on fixed rods l. The hooks h<3> of the lifting wires are raised above the knives k bv the griff, in order that they may be readily moved off the fixed knives, when required. The needle eyes are enlarged to allow the lifting- wire limbs to be moved by the grating.

Abstract: 2004. Chaudoir, E. Jan. 27. Switches, quick - break. -Electric switch - fuses are mounted in a box B containing a magazine C for cartridge fuses with metal ends, and provided with means, operated from outside the box, by which the fuses may be removed and replaced in the contacts. The box is fitted with a grooved sliding carrier E, which may be arranged to have either a horizontal or vertical movement, and is controlled by a handle I and rod G, which may be attached to the carrier by a slotted link or other lost-motion connexion. The spring contact-pieces A are bridged by a fuse D which occupies a groove F in the carrier. To withdraw the fuse, the carrier is brought back, the loose motion of the handle giving a quick-break or snap action, which may be increased by attaching the contacts to springs. The quick break may also be obtained by making the carrier in two parts connected by a spring R, in which case a fixed handle K, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, may be used. The carrier may be fitted with a spring-roller attachment P working against inclined surfaces Q, which are shaped according to the positions the carrier is required to take. Other fuses, even strip fuses, can be used and, instead of inserting the fuse directly in the contacts A, it may be made to bear against contact-pieces fastened in the carrier groove. To prevent arcing on the renewal of the fuse the end of the carrier is arranged to come between the contacts.

Abstract: 8064. Cowey, L. E. May 29, 1908. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies and undercarriages on. - Vehicle springs are automatically adjusted as the load is varied, and maintain the axle and vehicle frame at a constant distance apart. Each end of the axle B is connected to the horizontal arm R<4> of a bell-crank lever, pivoted at R<1> to a bracket R<2> secured to the side frame A. A block R<5>, sliding on the upright arm R<3> of the bell-crank, is connected by a long spring R<6> to the vehicle frame, the'spring being adjustable by means of an eye-bolt R' and nuts R<8>. The block R<5> can move up or down on a screw R<9> carried by the arm R', the screw being provided at its upper end with two toothed or friction wheels R<10>, R<11>, adapted to engage segmental racks or plates R<12>, R<13>, carried by the bracket R<2>. Each wheel R<10>, R<11>, is mounted on the screw R<9> with a ratchet connexion so that each can turn the screw in one direction only. When the load on the vehicle is increased, the bellcrank lever is rocked about R' and brings the wheel R<10> into contact with the rack R<12>. Jolting of the vehicle as it runs over uneven ground then moves the wheel R<10> backwards and forwards along the rack R<12> so that the screw R<9> is turned and the block R<5> travels up it, whereby the effective arm of the bell-crank on which the spring acts is increased and the parts are drawn back into their normal positions, so that the distance between the vehicle and axle is maintained constant. When the load on the vehicle is decreased, the wheel R<11> is brought into contact with the rack R<13>, and the screw R<9> rotated in the opposite direction as the vehicle moves over uneven ground, so that the leverage at which the spring acts is decreased. According to the Provisional Specification, several springs may be brought into operation independently to meet a varying load.
