Patent GB-190512236-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Road Vehicles, and Means for Automatically Braking the same.
Inventor: BUCHANAN JOHN
Filed: 1905-06-13
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 12,236. Buchanan, J. June 13. Brakes.-Relates to a brake for lorries, wagonettes, carriages, or the like which is arranged so as to be applied automatically in descending a hill. The pole A is pivoted at a to a bracket a<1> secured under the fore-carriage and has a rearward extension D, which is slotted so as to clear the lock-pin E and passes through a slotted bracket C. A link F connects the rear end of the pole to an arm G fixed to the brake shaft H, from which the brake blocks K are carried by arms J. The rising of the front end of the pole thus applies the brakes, but such application may be prevented by the insertion of a pin c in the brackets C, just under the pole. The pole may be connected to the brakes by a chain or the like, in which case a spring is employed to release them. In order to obtain a more direct action of the brakes, the blocks are mounted loosely upon the brake rod, so as to be capable of swivelling to a certain extent.

Abstract: 5811. Lamb, J. A. March 10. Electric traction on the overhead conductor system. collectors.-The trolly wheel is mounted on an auxiliary arm hinged on the end of the trolly pole the arm being pressed upwards by a spring guiding arms or slides are also used in connexion with the wheel. Figs. 1 and 2 show sectional side and end elevations, respectively, of the trolly head. The auxiliary arm e is hinged to the bifurcated bracket b fitted to the end of an ordinary trolly pole a. The trolly wheel is kept against the conductor by the action of the usual trollypole springs and the comparatively weaker spring o, which can easily be renewed. The inclined slides or guides k are carried by the rocker arms l, the opposite ends of which are connected to rods n adapted to slide freely in projections d from the bracket b. When the trolly wheel is in contact with the overhead conductor, the arm e is pressed down into its lowest position, thus permitting the slides k also. to fall, by their own weight, into their retracted position. Upon leaving the conductor, the parts move into the positions shown. According to the Provisional Specification, in a modified construction the auxiliary arm is hinged at its front end, and the spring placed at the rear end ; or, in a further modification, the trolly pole is made rigid as regards vertical movement but capable of revolving horizontally.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Tools.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 23,424. Koning et Cie, A. de. Dec. 17, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Percussive hand tools.- In a pneumatic tool, particularly a pneumatic hammer, a differential alternating valve c, of the shape shown, reciprocates in a distributing chest d. Compressed air, supplied through a passage a in the handle, acts continuously on the lesser pressure surface e of the valve, and when the valve is in the position shown, traverses passages l, n, o and lifts the piston r, air above the piston escaping by a vent t. When the piston has closed this passage, the valve c is lifted by the air compressed above the piston acting on the greater pressure surface f. In this position of the valve, its sliding surfaces shut off actuating-fluid from the passage o leading below the piston, and enable air below the piston to escape by passages o, s, u and a neck j of the valve. When the piston has passed over the vent t, the pressure below the valve drops, the valve descends, and the cycle is repeated.

Abstract: 4570. Sutton, H. Feb. 29. [Cognate Application No. 15,989, A.D. 1908, dated July 28.] Planing. - The driving-pulley for the cutting- stroke of metal-planing machines, particularly of the type described in Specification No. 18,353, A.D. 1907, which are fitted with a balance or regenerating motion, is disconnected from the driving-shaft or driving-gear during the backward stroke, so as to eliminate loss of power, by friction claw or other clutches. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the driving- shaft a, which at its other end carries the pulleys for the ordinary sliding or tightening belts for producing the backward stroke, is connected to the pulley b by friction.disks g, j, the disks g fitting on projecting keys i on the boss h of the shaft, and the disks j engaging ribs k on the drum. This drum carries the pulley b and also a loose pulley c, if desired, to impose less load on the clutch when reversing. The disks are pressed into contact by a spring n, which at one end abuts against a plate p connected by rods q to a plate r adjusted by nuts s to regulate the compression, and at the other end abuts against a collar o which presses a loose boss m against the disks. The plates are released by a part of the machine moving forward a conical sleeve x so as to move out the levers v, which are pivoted to the sleeve t and connected to the collar o. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the driving pulley b is connected by gear y, z to the clutch mechanism on the driving-shaft a, which carries the reversing pulleys d. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the clutch is mounted on the shaft a, and the cutting-pulley b<1>, backing-pulley b, and loose pulley c, are mounted on the same shaft. The pulley b<1> is fixed to a pinion c<1>, and, through a spur-wheel f and any of the change-speed gears h<1>, j<1> connected by clutches k<1> to the shaft a, drives a pinion e<1> operating the wheel d', which is connected to the driving-gear of the machine. The backing-stroke is made by the engagement of a pinion y on the shaft a<1> with the wheel d'. In another form, Fig. 6, the cutting-pulley b<1> by means of a pinion y engages a spur-wheel z on the clutch shaft a, which has a pinion m<1> engaging the wheel n. The backing-pulley fixed on the shaft a' drives the wheel n direct through its pinion m<1>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: MARSHALL JOSEPH HERBERT
Filed: 1908-03-02
Granted: 1909-03-02
Abstract: 4710. Marshall, Sir J. H., and Smith, W. H. March 2. Switches.-In an automatically operated pianoforte or other r musical instrument which is actuated partly or entirely by electrical means, the electromagnet A is connected by a wire D through a contact-device E to one pole of a battery F, and through a non-inductive resistance G and wire D' to the other pole of the battery. A cut-out H, in parallel with the resistance G, comprises a contact H<1> carried by a pivoted arm N and an arm H<3> pivoted at H<4> to the arm N and normally held up by a spring H<5>. When the circuit of the electromagnet A is first closed, current passes through the contacts H<1>, H' or the resistances G until a tappet B'strikes the arm H<3>, and breaks circuit between the contacts H', H<1>, thereby reducing the current in the circuit. By rotating the screw N', the arm N, which may carry a number of sets of contacts, is raised or lowered, thereby varying the point at which this operation occurs. According to the Provisional Specification, a spring arm may replace the arm H<3>, and the contact-breaker may be arranged to put resistance gradually in circuit. The circuit of the electro magnet A is completed by a pneumatic device E controlled from the tracker board and comprising silver or platinum contacts E', E<2> in a chamber which is exhausted through a bleed hole K<1>. When air is admitted to the chamber beneath the diaphragm K<3>, which chamber is normally exhausted by a bleed hole K<5>, the diaphragm rises, thereby completing a circuit between the contacts E', E<2>. The tune-sheet may be provided with additional perforations controlling contacts L for shunting the rheostat J', an adjustable resistance L<4> being also placed in the circuit. A non-inductive resistance M may be placed across the terminals of the electro-magnet A, as an additional safeguard against sparking at the contacts E. Specification No. 27,893, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Music &c.], is referred to.
