Title: An Improved Speed Indicator for Motor Cars and other Vehicles.
Filed: 1906-01-12
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 858. Bley, G. F., and Williamson, H. Jan. 12. Speed indicators for motor-cars &c. of the type in which the surface of a liquid in a rotating glass tube is caused to assume a paraboloidal form under the action of centrifugal force. The liquid is contained in a vertical glass tube 3 secured to a spindle 5 driven from a flexible shaft 15. A float 4 indicates the speed against a scale 20 fixed to a casing 2 In order to increase the range of speeds, a second tube 3<a> is mounted alongside the first but is driven at a slower rate. A mileage counter 12 may be driven by a screwed extension of the spindle 5 or may be mounted on a bracket 6 and driven by suitable bevel-gear.
Patent GB-190613793-A (GB)
Title: Automatic Fire Alarm and Fire Extinguisher.
Inventor: DURAND ARTHUR HIPPOLYTE
Filed: 1906-06-15
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 13,793. Durand, A. H. June 15. Spreaders.-A box a fixed to a ceiling contains both alarm and fire-extinguishing apparatus. Three levers y, y<1>, y<2> are held in raised position in a box x by a two-part plate a<1>, b<1>, to which two of them are attached by screws z. When, on the occurrence of excessive temperature, the fusible part b<1> melts, the levers turn on their pivots and a dog d' is pulled by a spring g<1> against a hammer f<1>, which explodes a cartridge i<1>. The concussion igniting a fulminating cap or the like on the dog, a fuse is lighted, so that the first explosion is followed at a suitable interval by the explosion of powder in a compartment k<1> to which the fuse leads. An arm w connected to the base b of the box a rests on the levers y, y', y<2>, so that, when these drop, the base b can fall, carrying attached to it the extincteur c, which is suspended by cables h from a connecting-rod f secured to a screw g which can turn on ball bearings. A bent lever e attached to the rod f normally presses on the flexible base of the receptacle for the acid container in the extincteur and keeps the container pressed down against a stopper. The fall of the extincteur raises the container, allowing the acid to escape. The gas, generated as usual, forces a plug out of the neck of the vessel a, and the liquid then escapes under pressure through the rose-head r. Besides the ordinary holes s, there are oblique slots t on the head and a pipe u is connected to it having a sector-shaped end through a slot in which the liquid is forced up from the horizontal to the ceiling. The curved slots ensure the rotation of the vessel, a spring on the base b forcing out a fan-shaped brake to check the rotation.
Patent GB-190614043-A (GB)
Title: Thin-place Detector or Stop-motion Mechanism for Looms.
Filed: 1906-06-19
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 14,043. Marks, E. C. R., [Stewart, W. J.]. June 19. Loom stop-motions. - In an automatic weft-replenishing or other loom, means are provided for stopping the loom on the occurrence of a thin place in the cloth owing to the failure (in some cases merely temporary) of the weft. A feeler 12 is pivoted on an insulating-hub 11 secured to a bracket on the breast beam, and its downwardly-turned end rests on the cloth in front of the fell, so that the feeler is normally held above the screw 13 of the temple T. One wire 34 from a source of electricity is connected to the feeler 12, and the other wire is connected to the loom frame through a switch arrangement controlled by the shipper lever, when the loom is operative. When a thin place occurs in the cloth, the end of the feeler passes through it, and the feeler falls on to the screw 13, thus closing the electric circuit. An electro-magnet is energized, and its pivoted armature acts through a link to raise a pivoted dog on a bell-crank knockoff lever. The dog is struck by a hunter on the lay as the latter beats up, and the knock-off lever releases the shipper lever from its retaining-notch and stops the loom, the electric circuit being broken at the switch arrangement by the movement of the shipper lever.

The spring stop l for limiting the rearward travel of the breech-block carrier d is placed further forward than usual, and the underside of the carrier d is formed with a slot m so that the breech-block can be retracted until the stop l comes to the end of the slot m. The magazine cut-off n is employed for holding down the stop l in the manner shown in Fig. 3. The cut-off n is held in the withdrawn position by the spring catch p. The extractor g is furnished with an upturned end r, which forms a catch for engaging the tongues t of the cartridge clip u while the magazine is being charged, as shown in Fig. 12,

Filed: 1906-08-24
Abstract: 18,945. Cronsive, D. June 2, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Balling - machines ; winding - machines.-Relates to cross-winding machines, particularly to the type in which the yarn is moved round the rotating spindle, upon which it is wound, in a plane which is oblique to the spindle. To produce bobbins for weaving purposes, the spindle is mounted at such an angle to the revoluble yarn-conducting sleeve, that the yarn is wound tightly on to the spindle. Fig. 1 shows a machine for winding bobbins which are unwound from the inside. The spindle and the sleeve g are driven by a cord from the driving- wheel e, and a revolving cylinder m is mounted upon an arm n and is pressed against the bobbin by a spring. To form shorter and thicker bobbins, which are unwound from the outside, the spindle is inclined, as shown in Fig. 3, and the yarn is wound in conical layers from a disk q, a pressure cone m aiding the formation of the cone. As the bobbin increases in length, the spindle moves longitudinally against a spring s. The thread-guides are of V-shaped cross-section and are adjustably' secured on the sleeve g, or a circular disk with' grooves or other guides at its circumference may be provided. A head pis screwed on to'the upper' end of the spindle to limit the extension of the bobbin.

Abstract: 18,146. Schleyder, K. Aug. 10. Doors. - Hollow doors for furnaces are divided by partitions, perpendicular to the door front, into a series of cham. bers, open towards the fire-box only, with intermediate through - passages ; steam, compressed air, or other suitable gases are supplied to the chambers. and passages by a perforated pipe which passes through them, the supply being cut off automatically when the door is opened. Fig. 1 shows a front elevation of one form of the door, and Figs. 2 and 4 sections on lines I-I, II-II. The door consists of a truncated cone 2 divided by partitions 4 and the boss 3 into the chambers b, closed at the front by the slotted disk 6, and the throughpassages a, through which the air supply is regulated by a rotating slotted plate 10. A circle of perforations a', b<1> allows the furnace gases to enter the chambers b and the through-passages a. A coiled steam - pipe 12 has perforations 13 and is connected by a tube 14 to the cock c, of which a section is shown in Fig. 5. The tube 14 is secured to a hollow spigot 20 having a side hole 21, through which steam from the supply pipe 19 may pass to the coil. When the door is opened by the handle 15, an eye 23, which turns with it and engages a pin 22, causes the spigot to turn and cut off the steam &c. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the door is rectangular and the partitions are vertical, the slotted plate 10 sliding horizontally. Steam is supplied through a passage in the pintle 16 by a side opening 27 to a tube 26 leading to the perforated pipe 12. On the door being opened, the casing 25 turns and so shuts off steam. In both forms of door, nozzles 30 may be attached to the pipe 12 over the perforations.
