Patent GB-190800927-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: COFFIELD PETER TENNEY
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 927. Coffield, P. T. Jan. 14. Movable-abutment type with hinged or rocking abutments. In an hydraulic engine, the water enters the engine through a pipe h, Fig. 1, and passes through a port n in the side of a hollow shaft L, whence it passes to a chamber I in the piston, which is hollow. It passes into the working chamber through a port g situated in a member F of the piston, near the wall of the casing. The other member E of the piston is placed in advance of the member F so that the member E passes one of the three hinged abutments D before the rearward member F has reached the same, thereby preventing waste of fluid when the abutment is raised. Both members E, F are suitably picked. Springs e exert inward pressure on the abutments, and the piston moves each valve outwardly into its corresponding pocket on passing. The water, entering the cylinder through the port g, swings an abutment into position against seats f situated in the pockets in the cylinder head, and thus exerts its pressure on the piston F. An exhaust port P, situated in the cylindrical portion of the piston, discharges into an outlet chamber H in the hollow piston shaft, and thence into a passage w to the end of the shaft. The outlet chamber H is separated from the inlet chamber I by a division wall J extending from the solid shaft K of the piston to the end of the hollow shaft L. This shaft L is surrounded by packing q, the inner sides of which are engaged by two metallic glands t, which are separated by distance-pins u, maintaining the packing on each side of the inlet ports m, n. The pressure of the incoming water is thus utilized to tighten the packing.

Abstract: 5099. Lundberg, A. P., Lundberg, G. C., and Lundberg, P. A. March 6. Switches. - Relates to the e insulation of t h e movable contact-making or current - carrying member o f a electric switch from the operating-lever &c. The current-carrying member is in the form of a shallow box with a hole in the bottom to receive part of the lever or other member, which is held central by a metal plate insulated by means of mica. Fig. 8 shows the invention applied to a tumbler switch. The shoe 1 is pressed from a metal blank so that it has extensions 1<a>, 1<b>, and in its flat surface is a hole in which the switch arm 2 loosely fits. In order to insulate the arm from the shoe, washers 7, 9 of mica are placed on either side of the flat surface of the shoe, and over the mica washers are metal washers 4, 5.. The washer 5 serves to centre the arm and to keep it clear of the sides of the hole in the shoe.

Abstract: 9467. Spinnerei & Weberei Steinen Akt.-Ges. Nov. 22, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Building-motions; stop-motions; spools; arrangements.for commencing fresh set.-Upon the completion of the cop, the ring rail is further raised and lowered, so as to wind a few turns of thread above and below the cop, by an auxiliary cam 4 on the building-motion shaft, which also operates the strap-fork lever so as to stop the machine. The auxiliary cam is connected with the shaft 1 at the top of the lift by the lifting-rail, which releases a pawl 7 and allows a spring 10 to operate a clutch 12. A lever 13 operates the lifting-rail through a chain 14, the additional thread being wound upon the bare cop tube above the cop or upon a cap 18 mounted on the nose of the cop. The ordinary building-motion is disconnected by a stop 19 which operates a lever 21 thereby releasing the locking-gear 24 and allowing the pulley 25 to fall and unwind the building-motion chain. A stop 27 engages a lever and releases a weighted wheel 30 which operates the belt-fork shaft, but owing to their momentum the spindles still rotate and wind a few turns below the cop, the ring rail being then lowered by the depression in the cam 4. The clutch 12 is disconnected by a stop 33 on the camlever. The auxiliary cam may be made of the same eccentricity as the building-cam so as to wind layers only below the base of the cop. The cap 18 is detached from the spool, when in a loom by compressed air supplied to its hollow interior.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Polishing Apparatus for Lathes.
Inventor: HOPF ADOLF
Filed: 1908-06-19
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 13,115. Hopf, A. June 19. Lathes.-In an attachment for polisbing rotating metal articles, which can be mounted on any wellknown type of lathe, polishing-tools, which are adapted to polish both the cylindrical surface of the work and its end surface and are pressed on to the work by springs, are mounted upon a guide rod, parallel to the axis of the lathe, in such a manner that they can be turned into, and held in, engagement with the work for the requisite length of time by the operation of a handle, and that they can be traversed automatically along the work. The guide-rod 6, Fig. 1, is mounted in the headstock 1 so that it can be rocked to carry the polishing-tools which are mounted upon it into engagement with the work on the mandrel 5, and reciprocated to traverse the tools along the work. The rod 6, Fig. 5, has mounted upon it an arm 11, which carries a pivotally-mounted spring-controlled pawl 10. This engages with a groove 9 in the hub 8 of a hand-lever 7, so that, when the handle 7 is raised, the rod 6 is rotated slightly in the direction of the arrow I and carries the polishing-tools into engagement with the work. An arm 19 is also mounted upon the rod 6 and carries a half-nut 18, which engages, when the rod 6 is rotated by the handle 7, with a screw 16 rotated by gearing 15, 13 from the lathe spindle, so that the rod 6 is moved from right to left. The arm 11 is so mounted on the rod 6 that, when the tool has travelled the requisite distance along the work, the pawl 10 passes beyond the groove 9, and the rod is then swung back by the weights it carries so that the tools are taken out of contact with the work. The rod 6 is then returned to its original position by a spring 21, a second groove 24 being provided in the hub 8 below the groove 9 to allow its-return. The polishing-tool 29, Fig. 4, which operates upon the cylindrical surface of the work is mounted in a chuck 28 carried' between the extremities of arms 25, which project from a block 26 adjustably mounted on the rod 6, and which are urged towards the work by a spring 31. The polishing-tool 38 that operates upon the end surface of the work is carried at the extremity of an arm 37, Fig. 1, adjustably mounted in a clamp 36. The clamp 36 swivels in a socket at the top of a pin 34 carried by the block 33, which is adjustably mounted on the rod 6, and a spring 40 is secured at one end 41 to the clamp 36 and at the other end to a ring 42 connected to a disk 43 on the pin 34 by a pin 44. An alternative form of polishing-tool adapted to act upon the end surface of the work is shown in Fig. 12 and comprises a chuck 48 holding the tool, mounted between arms 46, carried on a block 45, and pressed up to the work by a spring 47. A rod 49 projecting from the chuck 48 engages an arm 50 to prevent the tool from being turned during the polishing operation.

Abstract: 2608. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Feb. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Exchange systems.-In telephone systems in which the call relay is permanently in the linecircuit and in which the ringing-current is automatically cut off when the called subscriber replies, premature disconnexion of the ringing-current, due to the energizing of the call relay AR by the ringing-current, is prevented by arranging the exciting-winding 11 of the disconnecting-relay RA. in series with two contacts 10, 15, controlled respectively by the call relay and by a relay R in the ringing-circuit. The insertion of the calling- plug S causes current to flow through the winding 1 of a differential relay U, relay L, armature 2, and resistance 4, thus energizing the relay L which closes contacts 6, 7, 8, thereby supplying current to the winding 9 of the relay U. The latter relay is so wound that the winding 1 overcomes the winding 9, thus opening the contact 10 in the circuit of the disconnecting-relay RA. The closing of contact 8 causes the intermittent excitation of the ringing- relay RR, thereby connecting the generator M to line. When the called subscriber replies, the relay AR throws the winding 3 of the auxiliary relay H into the circuit of the winding 1 of the relay U, which is thus de-energized and completes the circuit of the disconnecting-relay RA during the next interval in the supply of ringing-current. The relay RA locks-up over its winding 16 until the calling-plug is removed.
