Title: Improvements in Traps for Moles and other Animals.
Inventor: MORGAN DAVID
Filed: 1908-02-11
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 3083. Morgan, D. Feb. 11. Traps.-In a trap for moles and other animals, two catches d, one turned to the right and the other to the left, are pivoted in the central space of a frame having bars a, c and vertical bars b, b<1>. The lower' ends of the catches are spring-controlled, as shown at d<1>, and between them is a tee-headed spindle e arranged to rock on an horizontal pivot f, the lower end of the 'spindle passing through the base and being provided with a ring g acting as a trip. ' On each of the bars b slides a spring-controlled cross-bar h, to which is attached a cord j having a' noose k at its lower end. For convenience in carrying, a ring l may be provided at the top. The trap is sprung by an animal coming into contact with the trip ring g from either side.

Title: An Automatic and Variable Rocking Gear for the Mills of Engraving Machines.
Filed: 1908-03-14
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 5707. Ker, C. A., and Calico Printers' Association. March 14. Link-work; variable-speed gear.-In a mill engraving-machine, the mill is carried by a shaft 12, Fig. 1, a gear 11 on which engages a segment 9 rocked by means of a link 7 from a crank-pin 6 on a wheel 3 driven from the main shaft 1. The pin 6 dovetails in a slot 4 and may be adjusted along the slot to vary the throw by a spiral groove 14 in a disk 13. A reciprocating rack bar may be used instead of the oscillating segment 9. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, three or more spurwheels 3 with adjustable crank-pins each giving a different throw are employed, either of which may be thrown into or out of gear without stopping the machine. The pinions 2 are loose on the main shaft 1 and are capable of being clutched one at a time to the shaft by means of spring blocks 40 controlled by a sliding slotted key 34 secured to a grooved sleeve 35 actuated by a lever 36, Figs. 5 and 6. The adjustable crank-pins 6 are connected by links 7 to racks 17, with which gear wheels 11 on the shaft 12 of the mill mandrel 25. In operation the wheels 11 are connected to the shaft 12 by a clutch 26 operated by a crank 30 and bar 31. The Provisional Specification states that the segment 9 may be rocked by means of an oscillating lever with a movable fulcrum.

Title: Improvements relating to Pneumatic Rock Drills.
Inventor: CHRISTIANSEN CHARLES
Filed: 1908-04-09
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 7911. Christiansen, C. April 9. Rock drills.-In pneumatic rock drills, changing of the drill is facilitated by mounting the machine on its support so that it can be moved upwards, downwards, or laterally from its working position while remaining parallel to that position, the correctness of its position after return being ensured by means of a suitable stop. The drill c, Fig. 1, is carried on a collar b fitted on the pillar a, the connexion between the drill c and the collar b being such that the drill can be moved up and down parallel to itself through a certain distance c<9> while the collar b remains fixed to the pillar. In a particular construction for effecting this motion, a collar g is fixed to the support a, and a collar i carrying the drill is mounted to slide without rotation on the support a, the collars g, i being formed with shoulders m<1> having helical surfaces between which a helicalended sleeve m can rotate. When the sleeve m is rotated, the collar i and the drill are raised, and on the reverse motion, the drill is lowered into its original position. Instead of being moved vertically, the machine may be moved horizontally from c' to c<3>, Fig. 2, on guides formed with a key, feather, or the like.

Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 6246. Breeden & Co., J., and Breeden, F. March 12. Sliding valves.-Relates to sliding valves in which two valves proper are arranged in a ring- like carrier supported by the operating-spindle which has a wedge-shaped foot adapted to press the valves against their seats. The valves g are arranged in a carrier f supported by the wedge e<2> on the spindle e, and are provided with recesses for engagement by the wedge. Curved seats a<1> are formed on the bottom of the casing to receive the carrier f when in its lowest position and so bring the valves into alinement with the ports before the wedge e<2> commences to operate. Projections f<2>, Fig. 3, are provided on the carrier f to engage corresponding guides a<3>, a<4> on the casing, and are so arranged as to prevent the carrier from being inserted the wrong way. In operation, the handle d is rotated to lower the spindle e until the carrier is brought to rest on the seats a<1>. Further rotation of the handle causes the wedge e<2> to press the valves outwards against their seats. The valves may be of mushroom form, and may have renewable faces. According to the Provisional Specification, the stems of the valves may be hollow, and are then preferably carried by a, cross-head on the lower end of the spindle. The spindle is forked, the prongs being wedge-shaped and engaging in V-shaped openings in the valve stems.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Raising or Forcing Liquids and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: HUMPHREY HERBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1910-03-31
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 7824. Humphrey, H. A. March 31. Direct explosion apparatus. - An excess of combustible mixture is permitted to enter the apparatus at each cycle and the surplus is rejected so that a definite charge of combustible mixture is utilized at each stroke. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to apparatus of the type described in Specific a t i o n s 20,736/06, 18,594 / 07, 18,595 / 07, 19,341 / 07, 22,646 / 07, and 25,638/07. In addition to the usual inlet and exhaust valves 7, 6, a valve 8 is provided at the foot of a pipe 9 passing any desired distance into the combustion chamber, and connected at the other end to a reservoir 10. During the intake stroke of the liquid in the chamber 1, the valve 7 is kept fully open so that the chamber fills with combustible mixture, and on the compression stroke the surplus is forced out through the valve 8 until the valve is closed by contact with the rising liquid, whereupon the residual charge in the space above the level of the valve 8 is compressed. Figs. 2 and 3 show interlocking means for holding the valves 7, 8 closed while the exhaust is escaping through the valve 6, and for holding the valve 6 closed until both the valves 7, 8 have closed at the completion of the next cycle. This is effected by means of a threearmed lever 15, 16, 17, which engages with slots formed in nuts 11, 12, 13 on the valve stems. The lever is urged in one direction or the other by springs 26, 27 connected to a tumbling lever 21, which is tilted in opposite directions by the movement of the valves 6, 7. As the apparatus works with a limited explosive charge, it is possible to expand the gases below atmospheric pressure so as to enable liquids to be raised from a level below that of the apparatus. The application of the apparatus to the compression of air is also described, the inlet pipe 3 being in this case dispensed with and the air compressed in a chamber of similar construction to the combustion chamber. The power generated in the combustion chamber, and also the degree of compression in the compressing - chamber, may be regulated by varying the height of the valve 8.
