Title: Improvements in or connected with Thermometers for Ascertaining the Internal Temperature of Various Bodies.
Inventor: CRAWFORD TYSON
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 2447. Crawford, T. Jan. 31. Thermometers for measuring the internal temperature of various bodies, such as carcasses, butter, &c., are provided with a protective casing having a boring-point to facilitate its insertion into the body, and also a separate handle. Fig. 3 shows a long thermometer a enclosed in a metal case b closed at one end by a screw cap b<2> and provided with a boring-point b<1> at the other. The scale of the thermometer is visible through a slot b<3> in the case. Between the point and the slot the case is fitted with a plug b<4> having a milled head b<5>. For the manipulation of the instrument, a handle c is provided having a hole for the insertion of the thermometer. This handle is attached to the plug b<4> by a bayonet-joint c<2> and pin b<4*>, Fig. 15. When the instrument is inserted in the carcass &c., the handle is readily detachable for reading the thermometer. In order to prevent the case from sticking too closely to the body, the point is modified so as to enlarge and groove the hole. The point may be provided with an enlargement b<1*>and also with cutting-edges, of which one form is shown at b<6>, Fig. 13. Another form consists of a ring of studs b<6>, Fig. 15 ; this Figure also illustrates how the whole of the case up to the plug b<4> may be provided with cutting-edges b<6>. In another modification, the point is enlarged and the case made of elliptical form so that slight twisting will enlarge the hole. The handle may have a milled-disk head, or be as shown in Fig. 18, and may be fixed to the case b. In the latter case, the handle is provided with a slot for exposing the thermometer scale, and this slot may be provided with a cover, which is either a revolving slotted sleeve as shown in Fig. 18, or a hinged shutter.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Composite Lenses.
Inventor: BROWN CHARLES NOYES
Filed: 1906-02-12
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 3403. Brown, C. N. Feb. 12. Lenses.- Relates to the manufacture of composite blanks, made up of different kinds of glass, for lenses. As shown in Fig. 1, the required contact surface b is ground in a plate a of crown glass by preference. The flint plate c, ground to a convex and greater curvature, is then placed on the crown-glass plate and the whole subjected to heat until the flint glass softens and sinks into the cavity in the crown glass, with which it unites by fusion. Bi-focal spectacle lenses may be thus made.

Title: Improvements in Magazine Phonographs.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1906-02-16
Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 3891. Thompson, W. P., [Shigley, C. C.]. Feb. 16. Phonographic apparatus; coin-tipping or discharging mechanism. - Relates to a coin - freed magazine phonograph such as is described in Specification No. 21,915, A.D. 1904, and particularly to means whereby the record rolls are automatically brought into position, one, two, or more being reproduced by the introduction of a single coin, and to means for bringing the reproducer into and out of action. On the introduction of a coin, the mechanism D puts the motor E in action, driving the feed-screw f<1> and the wheel R'. The latter frictionally engages with and drives a disk C<11> on the mandrel shaft, which is mounted by the screw C<111> in a frame C. Immediately the shaft f<1> revolves, a cam n carried by it engages a pin g<1> on an arm G<111> which depresses a rocking frame G carrying arms G<1>, G<11>, G<111> and lowers the reproducer into contact with the record. The arm G<1> in contact with the screw f produces the feed movement; the arm G" is a spring which at the end of its path enters a notch m in disk M on the shaft f<1> and is raised by the projection m<1> reversing the operation of the arm G<111>. The frame carrying the rocking shaft G in its movement from left to right raises a weighted arm c, carrying a spring pawl c<11>, which engages in a fresh notch andon the disengagement produced by the arm G<11> returns the apparatus to its initial position and at the same time forces the magazine wheel C one step onward. While the rocking frame is rising, the arm G' strikes a bail I, thereby raising a dog b<111>, to which it is connected by a link I<1>, out from engagement with the magazine wheel, and the projection i on the link I<1> raises the shaft of the friction wheel R<1>, disengaging this wheel from the driving-wheel C<11> of the record roll. The motor E is only maintained in action owing to an arm H which is pivoted on the shaft G being inserted at the start under the rod J, which is connected by the rod d with the mechanism D. Certain cam shapes in the rod J cause the coin to be ejected from the cup d<11>, and at the end of the travel the arm H is withdrawn and the rod J falls, cutting out the motor. If, however, a star-wheel L possessing, say, one long arm followed by a short arm is rotated one step at each movement of the arm H, and the long arm suffices to prevent the complete fall of the rod J, the apparatus will start again on the meeting of the pin g<1> and the cam n. In order to rotate the wheel of records independently, an arm W<1>, Fig. 7, on rotation meets and carries round the arm t<1> on the shaft T. This shaft is loosely supported at T' and frictionally engages a link U<1> pivoted at U so that an eccentric motion ensues, indicated in Fig. 8, causing the revolution of the magazine wheel C.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 5420. Vaughan, B. G., Bennitt, F., and Sherwood, L. A. March 6. Matches.-Apparatus for filling match splints into carriers for dipping, and for separating short and broken splints, is shown in section. Splints fall from a supply hopper B, through a partitioned filling-hopper L, which is shaken as described below, on to a reciprocating setting-head E, Fig. 3. This setting-head contains two series of grooves, one being deeper and the other shallower than a match splint. The head carries one or more rods H acting as guides for a follower F, the head and follower being pressed together by springs. On the forward movement of the head E away from the hopper, Fig. 4, those splints that lie in the deep grooves are inserted in a carrier P, the deep grooves being shorter than the splints. The follower is held by a stop A' on the main frame, and the splints on top of those in the deep grooves, being held back by the filling-hopper, rest between the head and follower in the shallow grooves. Any short or broken splints fall through the space between the two. Those splints that rest between the head and follower fall into the deep grooves and are inserted in the carrier at the next reciprocation. The lower filling-hopper L is attached at one end to a roller which engages a slotted cam-plate on the head E, causing this hopper to be shaken in a direction at right-angles to the motion of the head.

Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 9294. Holden, H. C. L., and Elphinstone, G. K. B. April 22.] Switches; lighting, systems of.-In systems for lighting low-potential lamps from high-potential mains in which an auxiliary source of electromotive force is used to connect the primary of a transformer across the mains and the secondary across the lamps, a relay switch is used for governing the switch that makes the connexions with the transformer windings. The circuit of a battery G is completed through one of the lamps A &c. when its switch D &c. is 'on.' This acts to put the primary 15 of a transformer across the mains and the secondary 11 across the lamp terminals. The switching is effected by a pivoted arm K, which in its normal or left-hand position bridges contacts H, I in the circuit of the battery solenoid M, and also contacts T, U in the circuit of a solenoid W. The latter is energized when the battery solenoil pulls to the left the arm O of a relay switch, which carries current from a contact Q and from the solenoid W to the main R. The live solenoid W then pulls the arm K to the right, completing a circuit through the secondary 11 and a solenoid 10 at contacts 8, 9, and also a circuit through the primary 15 at contacts 13, 14. The relay arm O is held to the left by the solenoid 10, and the arm K is latched to the right by a bell-crank lever 3 with a spring 5. When the lamps are all switched off, the secondary circuit is broken, the solenoid 10 is de-energized, and the arm O is pulled to the right by its spring P. This completes a circuit from the main S through contacts 13, 14, solenoid 16, contact 22, and the arm O to the main R, and pulls an arm 19, pivoted at 20, so as to trip the latching-lever 3. The arm K is then pulled to the left by its spring L and breaks all the circuits through its right-side contacts, those through the left-side contacts being broken by the arm O.
