Title: Improvements in or connected with Water Gauges.
Inventor: FOTHERINGHAM JAMES
Filed: 1908-03-21
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 6320. Fotheringham, J. March 21. Water levels, indicating.-In gauge-glasses containing valves adapted to close the passages communicating with the steam boiler &c. when the glass breaks, the valves are arranged to bear upon the ends of the glass and to move independently of the supports. The valves F, G are normally kept off their seats C<1>, D<1> by their tubular stems F<1>, G<1>, which bear against the ends of the glass E, and the glass communicates with the steam generator &c. through apertures F<3> in the sides of the stems. The heads of the valves are provided with projections F<2>, which prevent the valves from closing the ends of the passages P, R. The stems slide freely within the supports C, D. A nut J on the support C forces the support upon the end of the glass. The support is held within a fixed cap H, in which it is prevented . from rotating by a flanged part T engaging with a projecting part on the cap.

Title: Apparatus for Utilizing Water Power.
Inventor: MAUDE FREDERIC NATUSCH
Filed: 1909-07-27
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 1977. Maude, F. N. July 27. Actuating by hydraulic and weight motors.- Apparatus for forcing water by the action of a head of stationary water comprises a hollow body which may be filled with air or water at will so that, when the body is filled with water, it will sink in the medium in which it is immersed, whereas when it is filled with air it will rise. Fig. 1 shows a form of the apparatus in which the cylinder A is arranged vertically in still water, and the piston D is made hollow so that it may be exhausted of water by the pressure of air conveyed by a pipe F<1> in order to allow it to return to the top of its stroke by its own buoyancy. The water is forced through the orifice A<2>, and the valve A<3> allows the filling of the cylinder. The head of water above the piston thus increases as the piston descends. Fig. 2 shows another form of the apparatus in which the stationary cylinder A is provided with a flange A<4> forming the fixed piston for a moving cylinder D<2>. The cylinder carries a plunger D working in the cylinder A to force the water out of the small orifice A<2>. Compressed air is supplied to the cylinder D<2> to raise the piston D.

Title: Improvements in Ships or Vessels.
IPC: B63B3/10
Filed: 1909-02-08
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 3072. Vickers, Sons, & Maxim, [Elia, G. E.]. Feb. 8. Warships. - Relates to vessels in which internal armour is arranged at a considerable distance from the thin outer plating, casing, or covering, and consists in the provision of protecting - devices between the internal armour and the thin outer plating &c. and of means for preserving the balance of the ship in the event of the protecting-devices being injured by an explosion. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a sheet of armour-plate b is supported in front of the internal armour B by rods b<1> passing through to a similar plate b<2>, forming one side of the coal-bunker B'. The plates b, b<2> are separated from the armour B by buffers b<3>. The space between the plate b and the shell E may be packed with yielding or resilient bodies, such as india-rubber, steel springs, or cables, which are arranged to have a density of about unity so that no material change in the buoyancy or centre of gravity of the ship will be produced by the dislodgment of the material. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the pressure upon a plate b in front of the internal armour B produces a counter pressure on the inner surface of the internal armour B by means of a plate b<11>, which forms one wall of the coal bunker B<1> and is connected by rods b<9> and flexible members b<7> to cables b<6> at the back of plate b. The coal may be replaced by mechanical devices, such as hydraulic or pneumatic pistons. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, there is provided strong concave plating R, over which is placed an inflatable envelope S composed of steel cables lined with rubbered canvas. The space between the plate R and envelope S is divided into a number of compartments, each connected by a pipe r to a reservoir T for containing compressed air. The reservoir T is connected to the corresponding reservoir on the other side of the ship so that rupture of one compartment produces a filling of the corresponding compartment on the other side of the ship. The envelopes S are only inflated when it is required to protect the vessel from submarine explosions. Passages G open to the atmosphere are situated behind the Plate R. Instead of the inflatable envelope S, there may be attached to the concave plating R a mass of concrete, which is formed with cavities to reduce the density to that of water so that dislodgment of concrete will not affect the trim or the displacement of the vessel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Jockeys or Clips for Haulage Cables and the like.
Inventor: LIGHTING EDGAR
Filed: 1909-02-12
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 3449. Lighting, E. Feb. 12. Rope grips.-Jockeys or clips for haulage cables, of the type in which eccentrically-mounted and outwardly-diverging gripping-members are rotated automatically by the movement of the hauling- cable into the gripping position, are constructed with elliptical or oval tapered cones mounted on tapered spindles to facilitate the release of the clip from the cable. Fig. 1 shows a clip according to the invention having tapered gripping-surfaces A which are engaged by dropping the haulage rope R, between them. The grip is released by raising the cable until the cones rise on to the thinner portions of the tapered spindles and so move apart and free the cable. The surfaces of the cones may be plain or fluted.

Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 7465. Dargue, W., Dargue, S., and Dargue, A. M. March 29. Vices.-In a quick-adjustment parallel-jaw vice, the nut-blocks 7 are adapted to be moved into or out of engagement with the screw 5 by means of inclined flanges 9<1> on a U-shaped block 9. The flanges 9<1> engage inclined grooves 7<1> in the nutblocks 7 which are slidable in ways 8 formed in the fixed jaw body 4. The block 9 is operated by a lever 10 mounted on a spindle 13. A coiled spring 15 is connected at one end to the spindle 13 and at the other end to a bracket 14 mounted on the moving jaw to hold the nut-blocks normally in engagement with the screw. In a modification, the block 9 is formed with a groove, in which slides a T-bar, connected by links to an inverted fixed T-bar, and operated by a hand-lever. A spring is provided to hold the nut-blocks normally in engagement. The inclination of the grooves in the nut-blocks may be reversed, so that an upward movement of the block 9 would cause the nutblocks to disengage the screw. The blobk 9 may be provided with pins engaging inclined slots in the nut-blocks or vice versa. The body 4 may be provided with a removable side to give access to the mechanism. The nut-blocks may be arranged above and below the axis of the screw.

Title: Machine for Molding Threaded Objects.
Inventor: ENGSTROEM FRANS WILHELM
IPC: C03B11/00

Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 8434. Engstr÷m, F. W. April 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Moulding screw threads.-Relates to a machine for producing screwed articles, such as bottles, jars, etc., from glass etc. The screw is produced on the article 1 by means of a rotary mould member 10 screwed through a block 9, the pitch of the thread in the block being the same as that in the mould. The lower part 2 of the mould is mounted upon a slide so that it may be withdrawn for filling etc. When a charged mould is brought beneath the mould part 10, a clutch 27 is put into operation, causing a shaft 4 to rotate ; this through cranks 24 and links 23 actuates a cross-head 22, bringing down a plunger 28 into the mould. The cross-head 22 carries a link 20 connected to a toothed sector 19, which meshes with a wheel 18 connected through gearing 17, 12 to a toothed wheel 11 formed on the mould part 10, so that the latter is screwed down when the cross-bead 22 is operated, the sector 19 passing out of engagement as soon as the mould is completely closed. A spring 30 cushions the plunger 28. After the article has been moulded, the upward movement of the crosshead 22 withdraws the plunger 28 and unscrews the mould 10, and a cam 5 on the shaft 4 acts upon a lever 7 and operates the slide carrying the mould 2, withdrawing the latter. The completed article is ejected by means of a plunger 31 operated by a lever 32. A pin 34 projecting into the mould prevents the article from rotating when the part 10 is unscrewed, and is withdrawn, when the lever 32 is operated, by means of an oblique member 35 connected to the lever and passing through a slot in the end of the pin.
