Patent GB-190720831-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Hay Rakes, Hay Loaders, or Apparatus for Making Cocks of Hay, Clover or the like.
Inventor: BIRKMYRE MCADAM ALEXANDER
Filed: 1907-09-19
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 20,831. Birkmyre, M. A. Sept. 19. Crops, cut, stacking.-Relates to apparatus for collecting or raking hay, clover, &c. for use as a distinct machine or in combination with hay-loaders and cock-makers, and comprising one or more endless belts or chains moving transversely in front of the supporting-wheel and driver's seat and carrying pivoted teeth, which are held vertical while raking, but are allowed to turn about their pivots to free themselves from the crop as they rise from the ground. Fig. 1 shows a windrower with the horse shafts &c. removed, and Figs. 3 and 4 show one of the tines and its chain attachment. The endless chain n passes round an adjustable sprocket-wheel o and a sprocket-wheel m, which is connected to the axle by bevel gearing. The main wheels fare connected to the axle by ratchets and small supporting-wheels v are provided. The sprocketwheel o is carried by an adjustable arm q supported by a hinged extension t of the framing a, which may be turned up for transport or storage. The tension of the chain n is regulated by means of an adjustable sprocket-wheel 11. Each tine z is provided with a pivot-pin y passing freely through the walls of brackets x fixed to the chain n. The tine projects through an open slot 1, and the pin y is bent to form an arm 4. As each tine passes round the sprocket-wheel o, a cam 5 engages the arm 4 and raises the tine and moves it into a recessed part 2 of the slot 1. Angle-bars 8 prevent lateral movement out of the recess 2 while the tine is raking, and the sides of the recess 2 prevent movement about the pivot. Guides 9 are provided to insure that the tine shall be in its proper position in the slot 1 when the arm 4 engages the cam 5. As the tine passes round the wheel m it is pushed out of the recess 2 by a cam 10. By the addition of the hinged extension t<1>, sprocket-wheels o<1>, m<1>, cams 10<1>, 10<2>, and bevel-gearing and clutches, the machine may be arranged to take two chains to rake the hay from the sides towards the centre. Motors may be employed to drive the machines.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording and Reproducing Sounds.
Inventor: ROSENTHAL LOUIS
Filed: 1907-10-17
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 2 2 , 9 6 3 . Rosenthal, L. Oct. 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gramophones.-A gramophone has its record-disk carrier accelerated in speed as the stylus nears the centre of the disk, so as to produce a constant linear velocity of the record under the stylus. Fig. 1 is a plan of the mechanism, with the cover removed, and Fig. 2 is an elevation partly in section. The record carrier a and a similar disk e are secured to the spindle b. The disk e is driven by a friction wheel f operated through gear g, k and a shaft h from spring mechanism i. A feed-screw 3 is driven from the spindle b through gear z, 1, 2, 4, and traverses a feeding-arm 5 pivoted at 6 to an arm t connecting two non-rotatable sleeves p, q, attached to two rotatable sleeves r, s and moving longitudinally with these along rods n, o. The sleeve r through an arm w traverses the sound-box x, and the sleeve s through a two-armed lever u, v, the former being connected by a lever y with the arm w, with the help of a forked lever 7 attached to the sleeve q and holding the spur-wheel k, traverses the friction wheel f simultaneously and equally with the sound-box and stylus. A roll l underneath the disk c counterbalances the pressure of the friction wheel f. A cam 19 operated by a handle 18 first raises the feeding-lever 5 and then the sound-box x and friction wheel f so that they may be returned to their initial positions. The position of the friction wheel f is indicated and may be adjusted on the outside of the casing by a needle 11 passing over a scale 12. By using the cam to raise only the feeding-lever 5, and then adjusting the friction lever to the position for the speed required, the mechanism may be used for reproducing ordinary record disks.

Abstract: 1827. Arney, S. E. Jan. 26, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Saws, sharpening and setting.-In an apparatus for setting saws, used separately or with a saw-filing- machine as shown, the setter 25, which is notched to receive the saw teeth and is pivoted at 28, is oscillated from the driving-shaft 5 through gear 18, 19 and rods 20, either by pivoted dogs 33 engaging notches in the setter or by the ends of the slot 30 in one of the rods. The saw is fed along by a spring-controlled lever 35 operated by a cam 36, and is held by a pivoted clamp 9 connected to a lever 12 rocked by the shaft 5.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Coin-freed Winding Up Apparatus in Clocks
Inventor: WIINGAARD AAGE GEORG PETER
Filed: 1908-01-31
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 2236. Wiingaard, A. G. P. Feb. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Clocks combined with coin-feed apparatus. -The clock can only be wound up if a coin is inserted at intervals. Normally a detent d having a spur engages a cross b upon the winding- arbor, but a coin dropped down a shoot g will disengage it. This disengagement will however only be momentary unless a vertical rod k is lowered to limit the displacement, by opposing a projection o to a pin p, while to insure the discharge of the coin past the heel f of the detent, the lowered rod applies a detent m, x to the train and must accordingly be raised after the winding in order to start the clock. A pawl v hung on the opposite side of the cross b prevents release by tilting the apparatus.

Filed: 1909-05-04
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 10,557. Yates, J. H. May 4. Heating and heat-regulating.-Steam-coils for use in heating, drying, evaporating, cooking, distilling, &c. are joined in parallel with a steam main, and are arranged so that the exhaust from one coil passes back into the main, and thence, after mixing with the live steam, into the next coil. The branch pipes do not descend into the main but leave its passage unobstructed. Fig. 1 shows the system applied for the heating of a series of boiling-vats. Steam from the generator b passes into the main a and enters the first coil by the pipe e. The exhaust steam and water of condensation return to the main by the pipe f. The mixed " live" and exhaust steam then enter the next apparatus. A valve l is fitted in the steam main between the pipes e, f and is partly closed at starting to blow through the coils d ; or, it may be partly or wholly closed when great heat is required. Regulating-valves i, i<1> are fitted in the pipes e, f. The main finally exhausts into the condenser or feed tank g, or into the atmosphere. Steam for working an engine or distilled water may be tapped from the main if desired.

Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 11,143. Hedges, K. W. May 11. [Addition to 410/08, Class 126, Stoves &c.] Burners, regulating and controlling.-In modifications of the gas fire described in the parent Specification, the cocks supplying gas to the burners are interlocked with the spindles of the flue dampers by the devices shown. The arm h, Fig. 4, by means of which the damper c<4> is moved, is sprung under the detent k on the gas-valve spindle i<1>, [and is released by turning off the gas. The arm is thrown over by a spring or weight, and the passage direct to the chimney d<2> is thus opened, as shown. In the device shown in Fig. 5, the finger-piece of the gas-tap m is embraced by a locking-part l on the valve rod h, so that the tap is freed and the valve in the box a is set simultaneously. In the device shown in Fig. 7, the arm h is connected by a link n to a lever o, which, embracing a pin o<1> on the gas-valve spindle i<1>, prevents the rotation of it until the valve in the box a is moved. In a similar device, the notched end of the lever o is replaced by a cup-like end, which covers the end of the spindle i<1> until it is removed by the arm h. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, a sliding damper p, used instead of the pivoted dampers described above, has an oblique rib p<1>, which operates a spring-pressed spindle r and moves its outer end into or out of the path of the projection s on the handle for operating the gas-valve spindle i<1>.
