Patent GB-190526407-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Globes.
Inventor: HELPS GEORGE
Filed: 1905-12-19
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 26,407. Helps, G. Dec. 19. Gas lamps, air supply to; globes; lighting.-In incandescent and other inverted lamps, air is admitted through a perforated or grooved ball b, which normally rests in the hole in the globe or bowl a through which the torch is inserted for lighting the lamp. Fig. 1 shows a hollow perforated ball, and Fig. 4, a solid ball with parts removed from its surface. The Provisional Specification states that a plain solid ball may be employed when the seat on the globe is serrated, and that, if necessary, a chain and weight may be attached to the ball to pull it back to its seat after the withdrawal of the lighting torch. Specifications No. 970, A.D. 1882, and No. 9191, A.D. 1886, are referred to.
Patent GB-190603174-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Warp Stop Motions for Looms for Weaving.
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 3174. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. Feb. 9. Loom stop - motions ; warp tension, regulating ; back-bearers. - In looms provided with warp stop-motion detectors g, which are mounted within a box d on rods h passing through slots in the detectors, the ends of the box d are mounted to slide within prescribed limits on fixed brackets e, and are connected by links k to lugs l secured to the back-bearer a, so that the box and the detectors are moved backwards and forwards in unison with the movements of the back-bearer, thereby preventing undue rubbing of the warps against the detectors. The backbearer is vibrated in the usual manner by the action of a cam b on a lever c connected to the stud of the back-bearer, and the box d may be coupled to an arm on the lever c or may be connected directly with an eccentric on the shaft b<1>, instead of being connected to the back-bearer. The connexions between the box d and the back-bearer may be adjustable, as by means of adjustable collars m between which the lug l is confined on the link k, and, instead of the box sliding on brackets, it may be pivotally mounted to oscillate in unison with the back-bearer.
Patent GB-190605248-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Stamp Cancelling or Marking Machines for Postal and like purposes.
Filed: 1906-03-03
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 5248. Marks, E. C. R., [Columbia Postal Supply Co.]. March 3. Postmarking - machines. - Letters are fed to a rotary postmarking- machine by a horizontally rotating disk E, Fig. 4, which pushes them between a guide-wall d and a spring guide F to a separating- wheel J, whence they pass singly to a front timing- stop and impression roller trip device 10 &c., which feeds them on at the proper moment between the impression roller m and the die roller l. The letters are subsequently stacked by a rotary stacker 12. The separating-wheel J is made larger than the companion wheel K, and has a separator or block I with a rubber facing to feed the letters one by one past the partition e to forks 10 carried by a shaft 5 pivoted in the swinging arm y carrying the impression-roller shaft q. On the shaft 5 is also a stop, normally engaging with a fixed but adjustable stop, and keeping the impression roll m away from the die roll against the pressure of a spring. When the die surfaces o are approaching the printing position, an eccentric on the die-roller shaft pushes the roller m slightly farther from the roll thus relieving the pressure between the coacting stops, and at the same time a trip finger 11, attached to and projecting from the roll l, pushes the letter against the forks 10, thus turning aside the stop, and allowing the impression roll m to press the letter against the die roll l as the eccentric allows it to approach the same. After the impression is complete, the letter passes on to the stacker 12, while the impression roll is again tripped by the eccentric, and held away from contact by the coacting stops before mentioned. If no letter has been fed to the forks 10, the trip-finger 11 merely passes between the tangs of the fork 10, and the roller m is not brought against the roller and soiled. An ink roller p supplies ink to the dies o. Suitable spur gearing drives the shafts of the various rotating parts, the impression roller m being mounted on a jointed shaft.,

Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 26,973. LÚgÚ, A. J. B. Nov. 27. Gas and like engines.-In radiators of motor - vehicles having water-cooled engines, a tube element of flattened section placed with its longitudinal axis at right - angles to the cooling-draught is of zigzag form or repeatedly bent across its width at sharp angles, so that it is divided longitudinally into inc l i n e d sections. Figs. 3 and 4 show tube elements, which may be formed from a tube or from two plates arranged parallel to each other. Bosses or projections care formed on opposite faces of the tubes, preferably a the bends, to prevent the opposite faces from closing. In one form of radiator, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two tubes are spirally arranged so that the liquid passes through one tube from an inlet at the circumference of the coils to a central tank f and returns by the other tube to an outlet also on the circumference of the coils. Distance-pieces k may keep the coils apart. In a modification, a fan is mounted between two parallel similar stacks of tubes. In another form of radiator, the tubes may be laid horizontally and be connected by end chambers so that the liquid circulates successively in opposite directions through the tubes.

Abstract: 28,654. Spaethe, W. E. Dec. 30. [Patent of Addition to No. 3000, A.D. 1908.] Exhausting. - In an automatic musical instrument, the position of a valve V controlling the aperture O leading from the main suction trunk to the wind-chest is determined by the position of a diaphragm M which is moved by air pressure against the action of a spring F. A valve V<1> is manually or automatically controlled by means of a rod Z' and guides L are provided on the seating K, between which the valves slide. If the valve V<1> is moved to uncover the aperture 0, air is drawn from the wind-chest through the passage O<2> and the diaphragm M will move inwards against the action of the spring F, thereby regulating the width of the aperture 0. Instead of providing the second valve V<1>, the valve seating may be arranged to be moved by the rod Z<1>. In a modification, only one valve is used and the diaphragm is mounted in a bellows which carries the pivot for a valve-controlling lever operated by a rod. In a further modification, the bellows is hinged to the valve-chest and may be moved towards or away from it by means of a pneumatically or manually operated push-rod.
