Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Separating Dust, Suspended Matter and Certain Gases from Air.
Inventor: COURTNEY SAMUEL
Filed: 1907-06-24
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 14,488. Courtney, S. June 24. Air, purifying.-Air to be purified from dust or suspended matter, carbon dioxide, sulphurous acid, or the like, is passed through water-sealed tubes suspended from a plate D and perforated near the lower end. The tubes are surrounded by conical pipes G to form an annular space, in which a spray is produced by the air passing through the perforations F. The tubes are centred by means of guides K attached to the conical pipes Lime or soda may be used in the water to facilitate the removal of the gaseous impurities, and the air may be heated, cooled, or humidified during the process. The purified air escapes through an outlet M, and the water may be discharged by means of a hollow plug R which also acts as an overflow
Patent GB-190716977-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Wire Rope Hauling or Winding Apparatus.
Inventor: WINDHOFF FRITZ
Filed: 1907-07-24
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 16,977. Windhoff, F. July 24. Hauling and winding drums; winches.-Relates to a paying-out device for wire-rope winding-apparatus designed to prevent the slackening of the coils on the drum, in which the rope is gripped between a driven pulley and two rollers driven by this pulley and pressed against it by a hand-lever. One of the main features of the invention is the prevention of damage to the rope by setting the gripping- pulleys in movement before they come into contact with the rope. The hauling-drum, driven through a clutch, coils the rope, which is fed automatically from side to side in the usual manner. Fig. 1 shows the paying-out device, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the whole appliance. The axle 10 of the paying-out device is driven through spur gearing by the power shaft 2 which also drives the drum 6 through a clutch and spur gearing. The pulley 14 is fixed on the axle 10 and has conical flanges pressed together by springs. Two rollers, which are carried as shown in Fig. 1 on an arm of a lever 23 pivoted at 22, have conical edges adapted to fit against the flanges of the driving-pulley 14. To pay out the rope, the clutch operating the drum 6 is released and the lever 23 is pressed so as to bring the rollers against the pulley, thus setting the rollers in rotation. Further pressure of the lever forces the flanges of the pulley apart until the rope is gripped between the faces of the pulley and the rollers. The rope is thus unwound from the drum until the counterweighted lever 23 is released, when the rollers fall away from the rope and the latter stops. When the apparatus is used for winding in the rope, the clutch operating the drum is engaged and the lever 23 is left free. During both operations, the sledge 11, carrying with it the pulley 14 and the guiding-pulleys 25, is moved to and fro along the drum by the ordinary worm gearing 27.

Abstract: 21,099. Sturm, J. Oct. 6. Shackles and swivels.-In a shackle for connecting the ends of chains &c. of the type in which a locking-lever secures a locking-block in a lock socket, the locking-lever being secured by a second lever, the second lever is so mounted that on turning it, the lock is automatically opened.

Title: Improvements in Saw Sharpening Machines.
Inventor: PLUM HUBERT
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1909-10-11
Abstract: 21,500. Plum, H. Oct. 10. Saws, sharpening.- In a saw-sharpening machine of the type in which the saw is fed forwards by a pawl intermittently beneath a grinding- disk, the movements of the grinding-disk are controlled by a pattern corresponding to the shape of the tooth operated upon, and the machine is so constructed that the pawl and grinding-disk work successively in the same indentation. The grinding-disk 8 is adjustably mounted in a bow 16 rotatably and slidably mounted in the bifurcated end of a carrier 17 rotatably and slidably mounted on a pin 18. The vertical extension of the bow 16 is provided with a cross-bar 23 which carries the tooth pattern 24. The rise and fall of the carrier 17 is controlled by a cam 6. During its descent the carrier 17 is oscillated horizontally by the engagement of a roller 21 thereon with a curved guiding-piece 22. This lateral movement is imparted to the grinding-disk, but the downward movement of the grinding-disk is controlled by the engagement of the tooth pattern 24 with a guiding- piece 25. The grinding-disk is guided vertically from the indentation of the saw by the engagement of the wheel 21 with the steep edge of a pivoted lever 26, which is rocked by the wheel 21 during its descent. The saw is fed by a pawl 7 secured to a spring-controlled lever 14 rocked from a cam 5 through a lever 9, slide 10, and bell-crank lever 12. This feed is adjustable by a screw which limits the movement of the lever 12. The cams 5, 6 are shaped so as to secure respectively a quick return of the pawl 7 over a tooth and a quick return of the grinding-disk from a tooth. The saw is clamped at the moment of the grinding operation by devices 31, 32 operated by a camlever 34 from a cam 35. The movements of the cross-bar 23 are constrained so as to keep the grinding-disk parallel with itself throughout its movements. In a modification, several patterns are carried by a slide on the machine frame and are engaged by an abutment on the cross-bar 23.

The second coagulating.liquid is contained in the trough H and comes into contact with the fibre after passage through an annular space I the size of which is regulated by axial movement of the pipe K. The fibres are drawn out in the known manner during their passage through the vessel A and after passing through the second liquid pass into a second trough and thence to bobbins.

Abstract: 9038. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. April 16. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to screw mechanism in which the operating-lever is situated at the upper end of the carrier hinge-pin, and consists in arranging the actuating-gear so that the hinge pin holds the parts against withdrawal. The swinging carrier C is supported on the hinge pin C<1> and carries a projection C<2> which supports a crank pinion D', for moving an arm D to rotate the breech screw, and which carries a sleeve E for actuating the firing-lock. The pinion D' is rotated during the first part of the motion of the operating- lever B by a pinion B<1> keyed to the hinge pin C<1>, the carrier being prevented from moving owing to a projection b on the lever B engaging with a recess C<3> in the carrier.

Title: An Automatic Battery Overcharge-preventer.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
IPC: H02J7/32
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 15,888. Leitner, H. July 7. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries; lighting systems.-In a battery-charging system, the overcharge-preventer consists of an electro-magnet or solenoid, which is rendered operative by a cut out or switch in the dynamo and battery circuit, the magnet or solenoid breaking or reducing the field of the dynamo when the battery is fully charged. The solenoid d is provided with a de-magnetizing winding i, which is only in circuit when the switch e is in its closed position. When the potential of the generator a rises to a predetermined value, the switch c connects the dynamo to the battery b, and closes the circuit of the potential winding g of the solenoid d through the contact h. When the battery becomes fully charged, the coil g of the solenoid causes the latter to open the switch e against the action of the winding i and spring f. The opening of the switch e breaks the circuit of the winding i, breaks or reduces the dynamo field circuit, and connects the winding g across the terminals of the dynamo without the aid of the switch c. The reduced potential of the dynamo will then cause the switch c to disconnect the dynamo from the battery.
