Patent GB-190705432-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Machine Vices, Adjustable Parallels and the like.
Inventor: KOTZ ERNEST HENRY
Filed: 1907-03-06
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 5432. Kotz, E. H. March 6. Wedges.-Machine vices and adjustable parallels or packing blocks, of the kind wherein the jaw or upper wedge is thrust up and down the inclined lower support or wedge-piece by a screw, have differential-screw means whereby the movable jaw or wedge can be given a quick movement without necessitating a screw having an inconveniently quick pitch, or, if desired, a slow movement. A body a has an inclined portion c with a dovetailed guideway d in which projections e on a jaw f slide. An adjustable strip g provides adjustment for wear. The jaw f is moved by a screw i which has a left-hand threaded portion k and a right-hand threaded portion l. The portion k engages a threaded bore h in the jaw f, while the portion l engages a nut m which is secured to the body a by means of a boss n and a set-screw o. The jaw f may be faced with a serrated hardened steel plate r. The jaw f clamps the work and also thrusts it down on to the bed of the machine. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the screw i has an external left-hand thread k and an internal right hand thread l, the former engaging the threaded bore h of the jaw f and the latter receiving a stationary screw m secured to the body a by a boss s, projection n, and set-screw o. The invention may be applied to adjustable parallels as shown in Fig. 4. When a very slow but powerful motiun is required, the threads k, l may be of the same hand but of slightly different pitch.

The position of the holes and slots in the covers is so arranged that the tension of the binding-cords tends to keep the covers closed. The manner of threading the cord and the number of holes, notches, &c. in the covers and cards may be varied ; a form in which the cards have two notches b is shown in Fig. 8. Disengaging-plates consisting of sliding washers, pivoted levers, or sliding plates, as h, Fig. 4, and n, Fig. 8, may be provided on each cover to engage and bring together the two parts of the binding-cord passing through the slots d, so that papers having a T-shaped notch may be easily added or removed.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Elevating Water.
Inventor: FREEMAN NAT HARRIS
Filed: 1908-10-06
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 21,070. Freeman, N. H. Oct. 6. Vacuum apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for raising water comprising a number of tanks which are alternately connected with a vacuum and the atmosphere by a valve, and consists in providing electro-magnetic means for operating the valve. Each tank is connected by a pipe 7 with a valve casing 8. The valve 9 in the casing alternately connects the pipe 7 with a suction pipe 16 and a pipe 15 open to the atmosphere. The valve is rocked to and fro by a pair of electro-magnets 17, 18, the cores 19, 20 of which are connected to the opposite ends of the valve arm 21. A lever 26, fulcrumed below the magnets, is alternately depressed by the cores, whereby projections 27, 28 make and break contacts between terminals 31, 32 and 44, 45. In each tank is a sliding rod 56, on which, between stops 62, 63, slides a float 61. When the float is raised to its highest position by the water in the tank, the ball 64 contacts with the terminals 50, 43. Under this circumstance and considering the tank 5, a current flows from the contact 50, through the screw 49, conductor 47, contact 45, and conductor 48 to one terminal of the magnet coil, then a conductor 51, and cone ductor 37 to the pole 38 of a battery 39, thencfrom the opposite pole 40, by a conductor 41 to the contact screw 42, contact 43 and ball 64 back to the contact 50. The magnet 18 is thereby energized, and the core 20 drawn, downward to depress the arm 29 of the lever 26, and disengage the projection 27 from the contacts 44, 45. The valve is then moved to the position shown in Fig. 5 with the passage 7 open to the atmosphere, so that the water is forced from the tank 5 to the tank 6. Under the circumstance when the float falls to its lowest position, the ball 64 contacts with the pieces 36, 43, whereby the current flows to energize the magnet 17 and reverse the valve, so that the tank 5 is in communication with the vacuum pipe. Each tank communicates with the stand-pipe 53 by a branch pipe 52, and below each branch is a casing 54 fitted with a check valve 55. The arrangement is such that as one tank is drawing in water, those immediately above and below it are forcing it out.
