Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 17,398. Harrison, G., [Los Rice, C. de]. Aug. 2. Belt gearing for drill presses &c. A bracket c carries a countershaft d on which a two-stepped pulley e is fixed so that it can be adjusted longitudinally, by means of a screw and a slot in the shaft. The spindle g carries a two-step pulley h. By moving the pulley e so that each step can track with each step on the pulley h, four speeds may be obtained. Tne belt between the two-step pulleys passes over two idlers 1, 2. The former is adjustable vertically, being eccentrically mounted by a pin 1<c>, on a bushing 1<a>, which can be turned in a sleeve 1<b> fixed to the frame. To keep the belt sufficiently tight, the return idle pulley 2, mounted on a pin 2<b> in a yoke 2<a>, may be moved along a rod 2<d> and fixed by a screw 2<f>. For effective working, the face of the return idler 2 should be square to the tangent from the step of the pulley h on which the belt is operating. To ensure this, a rod 3, fixed to the yoke 2<a>, is adapted to rest in one of two notches in a bracket 4, thus holding the pulley in the right position. In a modification shown in Fig. 7, a bar 10 is mounted eccentrically in a bushing 20, which may be turned in a sleeve 30 mounted on the top of a column b. The bar 10 supports both idle pulleys and is prevented from rotating by a rod 50 sliding in an eye 60. Pairs of differently-sized pulleys may be used in place of the two step pulleys shown.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Fitting of Cloth on Billiard Tables
Inventor: BRIERRE ALFRED MAURICE HUBERT
Filed: 1906-12-08
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 28,013. Brierre, A. M. H. Dec. 8. Billiards.-Relates to means for stretching cloth over the beds and cushions of billiard tables, as described in Specification No. 17,496, A.D. 1904, and consists in a modified construction of the slats to which the cloth is nailed in order to be stretched. A device for testing whether the cushion cloths are uniformly stretched is also described. The cloth is nailed to a slat H screwed to an angleiron H<1>, to which are soldered square pieces of metal F, Figs. 2 and 3, tapped with holes Z<11> for receiving the screwed uprights L, which are moved by the stretching-screws. This construction strengthens the slat and prevents it from splitting. In stretching the cloth over a cushion, the slat H is first screwed to the frame D' by screws passing through holes in the angle iron H<1>, in such a position that the slat touches a block Y, in order to test that the rubber cushion and the inclined front face of the slat are truly in one plane. The slat H is then moved forward and positioned by means of screws C, while the cloth in an unstretched state is attached by the aid of a scribed line on the slat. The cloth is then stretched until the slat touches the block Y. Similar slats H, Fig. 4, are used for stretching the cloth over the bed of the table. The slats H are moved to an extent regulated by stop-pins g, which are inserted in one of a series of rows of holes in the table body C. The bolts L<11> screw into a band P let into the body C. In order to test whether the cushions are uniformly stretched, a grooved inclined plane is used, down which the balls are discharged in order to allow the distances of rebound to be compared. This device is placed at the same distance from each of the cushions that is being tested.

Title: Improvements relating to the Control of Steam Heating Apparatus.
Inventor: OSBOURN MILLARD PALAGANO
Filed: 1907-05-21
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 11,778. Osbourn, M. P. May 21. Elastic-fluid turbines.- The supply of steam to systems for heating buildings or for other purposes is automatically controlled according to the combined variations of the external atmospheric temperature and of the temperature or pressure in the steam supply main. The control is effected by varying the amount of steam abstracted from the supply main by a condenser. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the exhaust pipe B<1> of the engine B is connected to the condenser G by a pipe C', and to the heating system A by a main U. A valve J in the pipe C' is controlled by the combined effect of a thermostat N outside the building, and a thermostat O in the supply main C. The thermostats are of the expansible liquid type, and are in communication with bellows u, u<1> by pipes q, r respectively. The bellows u carries an adjustable valve t, Fig. 4, co-operating with a seat s attached to the bellows u<1>. The valve regulates the flow of water under pressure from an accumulator L to a chamber J<1> containing a diaphragm controlling the valve J. The accumulator is supplied by a pump K from a cistern P. The arrangement is such that the greater the external temperature or the temperature of the exhaust steam, the greater will be the opening of the valve J, so that more steam passes to the condenser and consequently less flows to the heating system. The thermostat 0 may be replaced by a device subject to variations of pressure in the main C. In a modification, the valve J regulates the effectiveness of the condenser by controlling the passage of steam to the pump which supplies the condensing water.

Abstract: 24,793. Br÷ndum, M. W. Nov. 18. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-In apparatus for turning gas-cocks &c. on and off at predetermined times by clock-work mechanism, means are provided for performing these operations within predetermined times by electricity or by gas or air pressure. The casing 1. is connected to a street lamp by means of the part 3, a gas pipe 2 being also connected to the part 3 and an elbow joint 4. The arms 5, 6, which make one revolution in twenty-four hours and effect the ignition and extinction of the gas, are provided with slots 7, 8 in which release pins 9, 10 are adjustably arranged. As the arm 5 rotates, the pin 9 contacts with the tooth-like projection on the lever 12 and depresses it about half an hour before the normal time of ignition, the pawl 15 maintaining the lever in the depressed position. About half an hour after the normal time of ignition, the pin 9 reaches the pawl 15 and pushes it aside, thereby igniting the lamp. The extinguisher 6 acts in a similar way. During the interval between the two operations of the pin 9 which is carried by the arm 5, the releasing-action can be effected by increasing the gas pressure so that the membrane 22 and the arm 19 are forced upwardly against the action of the spring 20, rotating the spindle 16 until the pin 18 contacts with the projection 17, to rotate the detent 15 and release the lever 12. The detent 15 is returned to the operative position by means of a spring or counterweight. The tension of the spring 20 may be adjusted by rotating the shaft 21. The membrane 22 may be replaced by a bell-shaped body floating in mercury or glycerine, or by a cushion having thin walls of metal, caoutchouc, hard rubber, or the like. The dial may be provided with a pin to obtain an invariable releasing-action, and an independent pipe may be provided for operating the diaphragm &c. by pneumatic pressure.
