Patent GB-190520878-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Pumps for Exhausting Air containing Dust and the like.
Inventor: HANSEN HANS PETER CARL
Filed: 1905-10-14
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 20,878. Hansen, H. P. C. Oct. 14. Exhausting.-In pumps for exhausting dustladen air, of the type in which, the air is maintained out of contact with the pump by means of water or other fluid, fresh fluid to compensate for losses is introduced so that it sets up a current through the liquid from the pump to the air outlet, this being effected preferably by the pump itself instead of by an auxiliary pump as hitherto. The invention is stated to be applicable to reciprocating or oscillating piston pumps, centrifugal pumps, rotary pumps, and injectors. In the form shown in Fig. 1, water or oil, which nearly fills the container d, is displaced by a plunger b, working in an inner chamber with an enlarged open end r, to exhaust dust-laden air from a conduit h through valves e, i into a depositing-chamber k, or into the atmosphere. A regulated amount of pure liquid for replacing the impure liquid which leaves the pump along with the dust-laden air is drawn in by way of a check valve n, and, on the down-stroke of the plunger, is forced towards the outlet. A single plunger may be used in combination with several containers, and may be arranged horizontally between a pair of alternately-acting containers. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a centrifugal or rotary pump s displaces liquid from one container t into another u to effect thereby a continuous exhaustion from a common suction conduit h. The reversal of the displacement of the liquid is effected by means of a piston valve z working in the chamber y. A regulated amount of pure liquid is drawn through the pipe o as in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Lamps.
Inventor: KEITH JAMES
Filed: 1906-01-19
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 1455. Keith, J., and Keith, G. Jan. 19. Street lamps; incandescent gas lamps; globe holders.-In outdoor incandescent gas lamps, the use of binding-screws and the like for the upper casing is avoided by the enamelled parts N, M, L, K, J being held between a nut Q and a gallery O. The air supply to the mixing-chamber is obtained through two perforated casings A, A', and this lower space is cut off, by means of a flanged sleeve V, from the rest of the lamp, which receives a further air supply through the space between the globe and the upper casing. Ribs A<3> are provided as wind guards. In a modification, a slotted sleeve F serves to admit air to the lower part of the globe. The globe is carried by the casing A<1> and is held in position by spring hook catches W, which are disengaged by being pressed inwards with the fingers. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, the globe-carrying ring Y' is held in position by balls Y moving in a short race and prevented from falling out by the slots in the sleeve F which are narrower than the diameter of the balls. The balls are disengaged by being pressed upwards and inwards with the fingers. Chains or loops are provided for holding the globe when lowered. The cock employed is that described in Specification No. 16,773, A.D. 1902. The Provisional Specification describes the invention as applied to the single-burner lamp described in Specification No. 1454, A.D. 1906.

Patent GB-190609610-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel Attaching or Heel Nailing Machines Employed in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: GAMBLE HENRY PERCIVAL
Filed: 1906-04-24
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 9610. Gamble, H. P., and Black, A. April 24. Nailing.-Relates to a means for feeding the required number of nails or pins to the usual horn of a heel-nailing or heel-attaching machine. The nails are contained in one or a number of hoppers or boxes 1, Figs. 3 and 4, formed with inclined bottoms 4. At each operation of the machine, nails are fed from each hopper by a vertically reciprocating slide 5 connected to a plate 23, which is reciprocated along a guide 24 by links 25 and crank 20 on the driving-shaft, to a shoot 2, which forms one side of the hopper. The upper end of the slide 5 is bevelled in order to receive the nails. From the shoot 2 the nails descend point downwards until they abut against a suitable number of slides 6, 7, two being shown in Fig. 5. These slides are normally kept by springs in the position shown, when nails pass from the. shoot 2 into slots 8 in the slides. The nails are driven from the slides 6, 7 into raceways 10, Fig. 4, when a nail-carrier 3, which is detachably connected to a slide 16 and is reciprocated horizontally by the crank 20 and a rod 22, is in a position immediately under the raceways. In order that the nails may be driven into the raceways, the slides 6, 7 are moved in opposite directions, by means of a projection 29 on the slide 16 which acts on rollers on the slides 6, 7, until the slot 8 in the slide 6 comes opposite a slot 38 in the slide 7, and the slot 8 in the slide 7 comes opposite to a slot 38 in the slide 6. At this point, strikers 11 on a rock-shaft 31 drive the nails into the raceways 10. Projections 40 at the entrance to each race come in contact with the pointed ends of the nails, so that the heads moving more quickly are delivered first into the raceways, and the nails are delivered to the holder 3 bead downwards. The holder 3 is formed with countersunk holes 12, which are arranged in the position in which the nails are to be driven into the heels. The holder 3 carries the nails to the work-support, and the nails are delivered when a spring-controlled slide 13 in the bottom. of the holder is moved by the support, the slide being formed with holes 14. which register with the holes 12 and deliver the nails. The rock-shaft 31 is oscillated by means of an arm 34 on a shaft 33, which is rotated by a projection on the slide 16. The number of hoppers 1, shoots 2,- and slides 6, 7 can be varied. According to the Provisional Specification, the slide 16 may be reciprocated by a rack and quadrant, and the slide 23 reciprocated from this quadrant, and theslides 6, 7 may be moved by levers acted on by projections.

Abstract: 17,785. Javaux, J. E. Aug. 9, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating.-In order to maintain constant the voltage of dynamos driven at varying speeds, such as those feeding the lamps of automobiles and driven by their engines, the position of the brushes is adjusted by an apparatus operated by current derived from a pair of fixed brushes, which current may be used in conjunction with current otherwise derived from the machine. Fig. 1 shows a dynamo having fixed brushes c and movable brushes d, which are adjusted in position by means of a galvanometer-type coil g. The coil is wound on a core e situated between the poles of an electro-magnet b, and is mounted in ball bearings and attached by means of a sleeve to a disk f carrying the brushes d. Current for actuating the coil is derived from the brushes c. The connexions are shown in Fig. 4. Other means may be employed for operating the movable brushes ; in the case of a multipolar dynamo having slip-rings and a commutator, alternating current from the slip-rings is passed through a wire the expansion of which due to heating operates the brush-holder through suitable connexions.
