Patent GB-190916749-A (GB)
Title: Fuelless Engine.
Inventor: BRABBINS BENJAMIN
IPC: F03G7/10
Filed: 1909-07-19
Granted: 1910-07-19
Abstract: 16,749. Brabbins, B. July 19. Self-driving machines. - In a self-driving motor, the power is obtained from four sets of springs which are coiled around four shafts, two sets of springs being automatically re-wound while the rest are uncoiling. The shafts b, b<1> around which the springs a are coiled are provided with sliding clutches d, Fig. 2, adapted to engage with spur-wheels g which gear with an annular wheel i, through which power is transmitted to the main shaft k. As the shafts b, Fig. 3, rotate under the influence of the springs coiled thereon, vertical rods n joined in pairs by rockers o are reciprocated through the action of a cam i<3> on the shaft k. By this means, pawls f<1> which are in engagement with ratchet-wheels e<1> on the shafts b<1> effect the winding - up of the springs on these shafts. When the springs on the shafts b are run down, sliding rods y, Fig. 2, brought into operation by a chain v and gearing r, r<2>, t, u, are moved, causing the pawls f<1> to be disengaged from the wheels e<1>, and allowing the pawls f which were formerly disengaged to drop into engagement' with the ratchet-wheels e. At the same time, the pairs of clutches d are moved. In this way the springs on the shafts b are then re-wound, while the other springs drive the machine. The operation of a starting-lever k<8>, Fig. 2, moves a collar k<5> which throws into engagement a friction-clutch connecting the shaft k to a flywheel m, at the same time releasing the clutchdrum m<1> from a pair of spring-retracted brakearms k<6>, Fig. 1, and freeing the mechanism from a stop-lever m<3>. The clutch comprises a spring-pressed sliding member k<2> mounted on ball bearings on the shaft k, the end of the shaft passing into the cone drum m<1>.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 16,862. Maurice, J. Levy- Sept. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Locking nuts.-In a nutlocking device in which two nuts, working on threads of opposite hand on the same bolt, are connected so as to prevent relative rotation, this connexion consists of a cap D fitting over the nuts and kept in position by any suitable means. It is not necessary for the nuts to be in contact. The Specification in its original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), also states that an inverted U-shaped piece fitting over the nuts may be used, or a wedge between them ; or a tubular sleeve may be passed over the nuts carrying tongues to be bent inwards (the tube being provided with a flange for removal) ; or a washer between the nuts may carry tongues for bending up against them ; or screwed pins carried by one nut may be turned to enter holes in the other; or a "Grover "washer " may be interposed between the nuts ; or one or both nuts may be fluted, parts carried by one nut engaging the flutes on the other; while the two nuts may be of different sizes, and the threads of the same hand. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Adding Machines.
Inventor: VINCENT JESSE GURNEY

Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 20,045. Vincent, J. G. Sept. 21,1908, [Convention date]. Adding-apparatus ; controlling printing of zeroes ; varying function of machine.-Means for effecting a variable split as described in Specification 27,269/07, in adding and listing machines, especially those of the Burroughs type, and means as described in Specification 2119/09, for utilizing the totalizing- wheels of the left-hand section of a split machine as well as those of the right-hand section, in summing the items printed by the right-hand section only, are provided in key-set independently-operated adding-machines, which thus possess both these features. In the Burroughs machine, splitting can take place at any one of three definite points, viz. between the second and third, fourth and fifth, and fifth and sixth denominations counting from the left, by positioning an index hand B<11>, Fig. 8, which, by means of a shaft B<10>, link B<8>, sector B<7>, Fig. 1, pinion B<6>, and staggard cams Bx, Fig. 2, on a shaft B<5>, depresses the spring-controlled pivoted arm B' of a corresponding coupler-bar B, and thus prevents co-operation between adjacent coupler-bars and adjacent hammer latches 717. The movement of the index hand also displaces longitudinally, by means of the shaft B<10>, arm b<11>, and link b<12>, a bar b, Fig. 5, which can slide upon a bar a<1> fixed to the main counter frame, and is provided with depressions separating raised portions b<2>, b<3>, b<4> of increasing lengths upon its upper edge. The movement of the index hand to the position 2, Fig. 8, slides the bar b to the right in Fig. 5, and thus withdraws the raised portion b<2> from beneath a lug b<7> on the sub-frame 910<g> pivoted on the shaft 900 of the main counter frame. Further movement of the index hand withdraws the raised portion b<3> from a lug b<8> on the adjacent sub-frame 910<e>, and finally the portion b<4> from the lug b<9> of the subframe 910<c>. Thus the sub-frame 910<g>, or the two 910<g>, 910<e>, or all three sub-frames, can be left in their forward position with their pinions out of gear with the usual racks, when the remainder of the pinions of the totalizing-counter are rocked backwards into gear with their racks. All the pinions however, partake of the usual forward rocking movement of the counter frame due to the pitman 914. Additional transfer mechanism is provided for each of the sub-frames, and also means for operating the latches F, F<1> of the counter frame, similar to those described in Specification 2119/09. A detent C<5> for the strip C<2>, Fig. 2, is also provided. A locking-device for the pinions of the totalizing- counter, when rocked out of gear with their racks, is provided as described in Specifications 17,126/93, and 27,874/03.

IPC: E06B3/50
Filed: 1909-10-02
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 22,486. Cooper, J. W Oct. 2. Pivoted-sliding windows.-In windows having sashes pivoted to sliding stiles, the meeting edges of the sashes 8 and stiles 5 are rabbeted as shown in Fig. 5, the sashes being pivoted on pins 11 passing through washers 13, 14 secured on the sliding stiles and sashes respectively. The sashes, when closed, are fastened to the sliding stiles by bolts, and when the sashes are turned down, the sliding stiles are prevented from rising by the engagement of spring catches 19 with notches 24 in the beads of the frame. The catches 19 are pivoted in casings 18 to which the cords 17 are attached, and at their lower ends are provided with members 25 projecting into the grooves of rabbeted stiles 5, so that when the sashes are closed the tongues 9 of the rabbeted sash stiles 8 press against the projections 25, thereby releasing the catches. The sashes may be held slightly open by means of hooked stays 27 pivoted at 31 to the upper sash-rails, which are recessed to receive the stays when not in use. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 6881/87.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Indicating the Escape of Gas from Pipes or Conduits.
Inventor: FISCHER PAUL GEORG
IPC: F16K21/16
Filed: 1910-05-23
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 12,515. Fischer, P. G. May 23. Indicating and locating leaks.-An apparatus for indicating the escape of gas from pipes or conduits is introduced into a by - pass to the main pipe, and is provided with means to give first an audible or visible signal and then to close a valve to prevent escape of gas. The cock 3 in the pipe 2 controls the flow of gas through the main pipe 2 or through the by-pass 25, to the slide - valve casing of an ordinary bellows motion-device 4 and to the return pipe 26, which is controlled by the shut-off valve 18. When the indicating-apparatus is switched in, and there is a flow of gas due to a fault in the piping or to a cock being left open, the motiondevice 4 comes into operation, and, by means of the link-work 5, 6, 7, turns the worm 11, and rotates the disk 14. This cam disk has two notches to engage with a pin 21 to act on the lever 16 and make an electric contact with the terminal 17, and, after an interval, close the shut-off valve 18. The turning of the control cock 3 is effected by the rod 22, which is provided with a slotted arm 23 to which is connected the fork 24 for throwing the movable coupling-sleeve 15 into and out of engagement. In a modified apparatus, the rotation transmitted by worm-gearing from the gas-current motion-device to the driving-shaft 13 is transmitted to a spur wheel, with which engages a rack brought into engagement with the wheel by a hand - lever. The rack is employed for moving the circuit-closer and also for closing the shut-off valve.
