Title: Improved Apparatus for Sharpening Saws
Inventor: RUF KARL
Filed: 1906-09-13
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 20,383. Ruf, K. Sept. 13. Saws, sharpening.-The file-carrier 14 of a sawsharpening machine is reciprocated on a guide-bar 15 by a connecting-rod 12 and crank 11 from the pulley shaft 3. In order to raise the file automatically during the inoperative stroke, the bar 15 has slotted draw-bars 18 at each end to receive levers 9, Fig. 3, which are mounted on a shaft 6 and are operated by an annular face-cam 5, which is attached to the pulley 4, and engages a roller 8 mounted on a lever 7 keyed to the shaft 6. The bar 15 is moved on slot-and-bolt guides 16. The return movement is effected by springs 19 supported on the parts 20 screwed to the frame. The motion takes place in a plane slightly inclined to the vertical, to permit of an easier engagement and disengagement of the file. The saw 1 is mounted on a slide 21, which is given a step-bystep movement by a catch 24 on the pulley, which engages projections 25 on a disk 27 on a shaft 26, which bas a bevel-wheel 28 meshing with one or other of the wheels 29, 30 according to the direction of feed required. These wheels are connected by a key 36 to the shaft 31, which rotates the shaft 33 by bevel-gear and thence feeds the slide 21 by gear 23. The wheels 29, 30 are put into mesh by a weighted lever 35 and fork 37 keyed on the shaft 38, and the reversal may be effected automatically by catches 40 fixed to the slide engaging the fork or a projecting part 41 thereof. To secure the slide in each working position, the shaft 26 is constantly braked by a block 42 and a spring 43, Fig 3. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 16,364, A.D. 1892, and No. 17,039, A.D. 1900.]

Inventor: SEYMOUR EDWARD
Filed: 1906-11-08
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 25,127. Seymour, E. Nov. 8. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Brakes.-Either pair of the slippers d of a motor or other road vehicle may be applied or withdrawn by means of a single hand-lever e without the operator having to dismount from the vehicle. The blocks are mounted, with a slight pivotal motion, on the arms f which are pivoted at f<3> on extensions of the axle g. Extensions f<2> of the arms f are attached by the links e<4>, e<5> to the pendent levers e<3>, one of which is extended upwardly to form the operating handle e. The inner abutments of the rods e<4>, e<5> on the arms f<3> are rigid, and the outer ends are attached through springs i so that, after the tips of either pair of slippers have been introduced under the wheels, the rapid completion of their passage under the wheels does not transmit a blow to the operator through the handle e, but is absorbed by the springs. These springs are strong enough normally to hold up the slippers. The rods f at each end of the vehicle are coupled pair and pair, and the passage of the slippers under the wheels is limited by the ordinary drag chains h. According to the Provisional Specification, the slippers may be arranged to work in guides, between which they are either rigidly or flexibly coupled in sets for hand or foot operation.

Abstract: 28,733. Beardmore & Co., W., and Bremberg, A. Dec. 17. 0rdnance breech mechanism.-Relates to safety devices for slip-lock firing-mechanism of the kind having a rebounding striker. A lug E, Fig. 1, on the striker A slides in a slot E<1> in the cover-plate B<4>, so that the striker is held against rotation and cannot move forwards to effect the discharge until the breech-block B has been rotated to bring a recess E<2> opposite the lug E. The axis-pin D<2> of the firing-lever D<3> carries at one end an arm H<1>, Fig. 7, upon which is formed a projecting piece H, which coacts with a similar piece G<1> upon the breech-actuating lever G, so that movement of the firing-lever is prevented unless the breech is closed, and the lever G is blocked except when the firing lever is home. The axis-pin K, upon which the lever G turns freely, passes through a slot L in the end of the striker A and is formed with a lug L\ which, when the pin K is turned through a rightangle by an arm at its upper end, projects into the path of a projection L<2> on the striker and prevents the latter from completing its firing stroke. A sector-shaped piece M at the lower end of the pin K, in the safety position shown in Fig. 8, also projects into the path of a projecting piece M' on the firing-lever D<3>, and locks the latter.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Hertzian Wave Telegraphy.
Inventor: MUIRHEAD ALEXANDER
Filed: 1907-05-14
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 11,271. Muirhead, A. May 14. Telegraphs.-Relates to the system of wireless telegraphy described in Specifications No. 11,575, A.D. 1897, and No. 14,060, A.D. 1906, in which two capacity-areas, with inductances connected between them, constitute the Herzian oscillator. According to the present invention, the lower capacity-area b is adjusted until the capacity between it and the upper capacity-area a is a minimum, when the radiation is greatest and most persistent. To prevent variations in the capacity between the two areas due to alterations in the humidity of the ground, copper wire-netting k is spread on the ground beneath the areas a, b. A modified capacity-area consists of four Maltese crosses, each with a connecting wire from its centre to the sending and receiving apparatus. The spark-gaps of the transmitter are formed with points instead of knobs, and are enclosed so that the ionized air produced by the sparking may accumulate, thus prolonging the trains of waves generated. The air may be rarefied to the best conducting vacuum.
