Patent GB-190720517-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Elastic Mounting of Vehicles.
Inventor: BERGH JEAN JACQUES VAN DEN
Filed: 1907-09-14
Granted: 1908-01-02
Abstract: 20,517. Bergh, J. J. van den. Sept. 14. Springs.-In order that ordinary vehicle bearing- springs may, under all loads, exert their maximum resilience, namely that which they would h a v e under maximum load, means are provided for adjusting the curvature of the spring to that which corresponds to the maximum load, and further, since when thus loaded the spring would be more liable to break when subjected to violent shocks, supplementary cushions are provided for absorking such shocks. Levers h, h' are pivoted at their inner ends to a spindle g connected to a plate f held by clips c, while their outer ends are jointed to brackets i, i<1>. The levers are adjusted for regulating the curvature of the spring by nuts m, m<1> screwed upon rods l, l<1>, which slide freely through pivots n, n<1> on the levers and are pivoted to arms k, k<1> connected to the frame b. Elastic cushions p, p' are provided upon both sides of the spring a and are arranged to come into action only under excessive load, being mounted upon pivoted rods q, q<1> and adapted to bear upon plates s, s<1> attached to the spring a at an intermediate point. Similar cushions o, o', arranged upon the rods l, l<1> and between the pivots n, n<1> and nuts m, m<1>, serve to cushion the recoil. The cushions p, p', instead of bearing upon the spring a, may be arranged upon levers jointed to the axle and frame respectively, in which case the adjusting-mechanism may also be mounted upon such levers. The cushions may be india-rubber, metallic, pneumatic, &c., and their number may be increased or decreased ; also, they may be arranged to come into action successively instead of simultaneously.

Granted: 1908-10-09
Abstract: 22,306. Stelzer, A., and Jahn, P., [trading as Stelzer & Jahn]. Oct. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Screwing; chucks.-In apparatus,for screwing one or both ends of a bolt, pipe, or the like, the work is held at the centre by the toothed jaws 3 of a chuck when screwing at both ends, whereas when only one end is being screwed one of the screwing-heads 14 is removed and replaced by a chuck such as that described in Specification No. 4731, A.D. 1908, the central chuck being also removed. The central chuck is movable and can be screwed fast in any position. The heads 14 carry cutting - heads 15 and are attached to sleeves 11 keyed to driving-wheels 7. According to the Provisional Specification, the driving-wheel 7 is attached to a sleeve 8 mounted by a key on a sleeve 9 keyed to the sleeve 11, which carries a head 12. The cutting- tools 15, which can be changed, are mounted in the head 14, which is part of the head 12. Forked arms 17 are arranged on both the cutting - heads and are operated by a hand - lever to traverse the shaft 18. When the screwing is completed, the end of the work engages a spindle 21 and forces it back with the head 12 against the action of a spring 19, a pin 23 being moved out of an opening 24 in a disk 25, leaving the disk free. If both heads are pushed back, a brake surface 13 allows the pin 23 to regain its position in the opening 24. The Provisional Specification further describes the construction of the central chuck. The casing 1, kept in position by a spring 2, carries the jaws 3, which are actuated by a tightening - ring 4, the thread of which corresponds to the teeth of the jaws.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Alarm Locks.
Inventor: THEMKE LOUIS ERNEST LEOPOLD
Filed: 1908-02-28
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 4482. Themke, L. E. L. Feb. 28. Alarms, burglar, arranged in connexion with door latchmechanism. On the spindle 26 of the latch, is secured a ring 58 which carries a spring lever 63 and is in electrical connexion through the spindle and lock casing with a battery 70 let into the edge of the door. Carried by the knob plug 42 is a ring 67 which is connected by a wire 68 to an alarm. The spring of the lever 63 tends to place it in contact with the ring 67 so that the alarm is rung, but this is normally prevented by a pin 66 which is inserted into the spindle 26 from the outside and presses on the end of the lever. Anyone tampering with the lock from the outside and removing the pin 66 will cause the alarm to ring. The proper key acts in the same way as the pin 66 to stop the alarm.

Abstract: 5672. Meier, A. March 15, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Making tags for laces; stamping; shearing; metal sheet, beading &c.-In a machine for securing tags to laces &c., two metal blanks are indented and cut off from a strip and the lace is placed over them; after cutting the lace, its ends are drawn apart to lie exactly over the metal strips, which are then curled round such ends. The metal strips a, a' are indented and fed forward by a cam-operated tool c', Fig. 3, the blanks being slightly curved and cut off by the co-operation of dies b, d, d' toggleoperated levers h then move the blanks sideways on to die-plates 2.

The lace is then cut mid-way between the two die-plates by blades m, m', Fig. 4, and is gripped beyond the die-plates by oscillating arms 12, 12<a>; these arms then move outwards, thus drawing the ends of the laces over the blanks. Curling-dies 2<a> then drive the blanks and laces into recesses in the die-plate and the blanks are curled round the laces. The finished laces are drawn out of the recesses in the die-plates by slotted arms n, Fig. 9.

Abstract: 878. Laschet, N. J. Jan. 13. Suction reservoirs; air vessels; suction pipes; valves, arrangement of.-In high-speed pumps, the suction pipe carries the suction valves and passes through the pump chamber to an airvessel. Guide-members are placed in the pipe to prevent interference between the water flowing above the valves and that from below; a second air-vessel may be placed in the pipe to act for the supply to the lowest valves. As shown in Fig. 1, the suction pipe a, provided with guide-members i, passes through the pump chamber d and pressure chamber c to an airvessel b. The upper guide-members i are shaped so as properly to direct the water to the suction valves e. In a modification, the airvessel is in the pressure chamber, and two sets of suction valves with corresponding guidemembers are provided. In further modifications, the air-vessel is placed inside the pressure chamber, or in the pump chamber. As shown in Fig. 5, the suction pipe a enters through the pressure chamber c, and a pipe, outside the pump, connects the air-vessel with the suction pipe at a position below the valves e. In one construction, the suction pipe is horizontal, the suction valves being vertical, but merges into the air-vessel in a vertical direction. With a vertical pump, the arrangement of parts is as shown in Fig. 7. Where several superimposed valves are used, as shown in Fig. 8, some guidemembers i are made hollow with the upper end closed, so that a separate air-vessel b<1> is provided which works with the lower valves while the vessel b works in conjunction with the upper valves.

Abstract: 1292. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Feb. 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Commutators. - In commutators for dynamo-electric machines, the main insulating material is omitted between the segments for any desired axial length and to a radial depth corresponding to the wear of the segments, and the insulation between these parts is obtained by varnishing, enamelling, or painting the sides of the segments, or by pasting or gluing insulatingÀmaterial to the sides as shown in Fig. 2. The insulation of the segments may be effected by dipping the built-up commutator into insulating-liquid, or by insulating the segments separately before building up the commutator. In a modification the insulating-material may consist of thin plates or sheets of paper, mica, or other suitable material laid loosely between the segments and connected at their insides with the main insulation.
