Granted: 1909-01-13
Abstract: 825. Richard, J. Jan. 13. Optical projection apparatus.-Stereoscopic &c. views in a holder k<1> on a carriage k moved forward step-by-step by pinion-and-rack i, j are raised one by one to be viewed or projected by pushers e' on a frame e raised and lowered by a sway-bar d actuated by a bar c from a crank-disk b. The movements. are effected from a handle a', the disk b being mounted on the shaft a and carrying a spring f<1>, on the end of which is a pin f passing through a hole in the disk to engage the teeth g<1> of a star-wheel g mounted on the same shaft h as the pinion j, which is thus rotated. A spring-pressed roller c<2>, engaging recesses b<1>, b<2>, allows the views to be retained in the raised position as desired, and one of the teeth g<1> is replaced by a projection m, which prevents the carriage from being traversed past its end position, by pushing up and so disengaging the pin f. When the sector t is in the position shown, out of the way of the wheel g, the shaft can be pushed to the right against the force of a spring n, and, the pinion i still remaining in engagement, the stud s allows the magazine to be moved into any position. In a modification, this adjustment is made possible by a pin on a collar on the shaft a coming opposite a recess in a certain position when the shaft can be moved longitudinally. A casing which facilitates viewing the pictures is shown in Fig. 15. Its hinged top u slopes back as shown, to allow ladies to look through the eyepieces without deranging their hair.
Patent GB-190802163-A (GB)
Inventor: ARCHER MARK
Filed: 1908-01-30
Granted: 1909-02-01
Abstract: 2163. Archer, M. Jan. 30. Hauling and winding drums etc.; winches.-In electric hauling - machines, epicyclic reducing- gearing of a known type is used. Specifications No. 3066, A.D. 1867, and No. 512, A.D. 1882, [Abridgment Class Ships &c., Div. II.], are referred to. The device is shown applied to a hauling- drum g. On the shaft a, which is driven from the motor either direct or through spur or chain gearing, an eccentric b is fixed. A toothed wheel c, which is prevented from rotating by a link h, works freely on the eccentric and gears with an internaliy toothed wheel d which is concentric with the shaft a. One end of the link h is fixed to the wheel c and the other end slides on a pin j. Since the wheel c is prevented from rotating but is carried around by the eccentric, the wheel d is rotated by an amount corresponding to the difference in the number of teeth on the two wheels for every revolution of the driving-shaft a. A great reduction of speed is thus obtained, and no brake is needed. The invention consists in forming the wheel d with a long boss c to which the drum g is keyed or otherwise fixed ; or the drum may be carried loosely on the boss and clutched to it when required.

Inventor: BRUENLER OSCAR HEINRICH ULRICH
Filed: 1908-07-22
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 15,554. Br³nler, O. H. U. July 22. Oxygen, or air containing a considerable percentage of oxygen, is prepared in an apparatus comprising a number of pipes and tanks by the absorption of air in water and the passage of the solution to a suction device whereby the gases are withdrawn. The fractional absorption may be repeated. Water containing dissolved air may enter a tank k, Fig. 3, and may be passed by suction, applied at the pipe o, through the siphon l, n. The air, enriched in oxygen, leaves at the pipe o. The water may instead be passed into a tank a, Fig. 3, and through the siphon b, e to the tank k. The enriched air sucked off at the pipe d is readmitted by the pipes f, g through the water in the pipe e, which may have an auxiliary pipe i or not as desired. The re-dissolved air is then treated in the second siphon l, n as before described. Siphons may be dispensed with and the air drawn through pipes o, Fig. 4, into water in the pipe a, whence the solution passes on by suction through the siphon b, c, d. The enriched air from the pipe k returns at the pipe l and passes by the pipes p through the water in the pipe c. The solutiun passes on to the pipe c and vessel t, where suction draws off the still further enriched air at the pipe n. The liquid is forced back into the pipe a by way of the pipe s. Undissolved air carried into the tanks f, g are discharged at the valves h, i.

Title: Improvements relating to Gear Cutting Machines.
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 19,505. Coventry, T., and Smith & Coventry. Sept. 16. Shaping; dividing-apparatus. - In bevel-wbeel and like gear-cutting machines of the type in which cutting-tools operate simultaneously on both sides of a tooth and the wheel is rotated a tooth after each reciprocation of the tools, as described in Specification No. 14,977, A.D. 1899, the ratchet train which effects the dividing is operated by a train of rotary elements working intermittently. Drive is taken from the first-motion shaft a, Fig. 1, by a chain to a shaft c having a universal joint below the centre of oscillation of the blank saddle, and thence through bevel-gearing n, a driver d and spur-gearing h to a crank-shaft g which actuates the dividing-ratchet a and the feed-ratchet y. A projection on a bolt e of the driver engages snugs g on the wheel h alternately, and carries the wheel a half-revolution when the bolt is depressed by a fixed cam j, and the driver rotates alone for a further half-revolution. A half -revolution of the wheel h produces a complete revolution of the shaft g. To prevent over-running a spring bolt 6 controlled by a cam 5 on the driver is allowed to enter between two teeth of the wheel h when the driver is disengaged. The cam also withdraws the bolt just prior to the engagement of the bolt e with the following snug. In a modification the wheel h is provided with a reduced portion specially adapted for locking purposes. In a modified arrangement of drive a train of bevelwheels is used instead of the universal joint. In this case the shaft q is in two parts disconnectible by a clutch so that, when the machine is being moved by hand for re-setting purposes, the timing of the indexing mechanism is not interfered with.
