Patent GB-190826429-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Speed Indicators for Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: MITCHELL FRANK
Filed: 1908-12-07
Granted: 1909-12-07
Abstract: 26,429. Mitchell, F. Dec. 7. Speed indicators. -In a centrifugal apparatus wholly mounted upon the road wheel of a motor-vehicle &c., a visible indication that a particular speed has been reached is given by a change of appearance in the signalling-member, for example by the exposure of a normally - hidden surface having a distinctive colour. In a casing attached to the wheel of the vehicle, a plunger A, Figs. 1 and 2, may be arranged to slide under the influence of centrifugal force against a spring D. When the particular speed is attained, a projection A' comes in contact with a catch E and releases the flap G, which then flies open, as shown in Fig. 3, under the influence of a spring. The inner side of the flap and the outer side of the wall G' may have a distinctive colour ; or the distinctive appearance may be due to the surfaces being of a reflecting character. To prevent the flap from being released owing to a sudden jolt, a projection N is connected through a magnifying series of levers to a piston L sliding in a liquid-containing recess in the plunger A. If the plunger A is forced outwards by a jolt, the part N comes in contact with the end of the casing and prevents the part A<1> from touching the catch E. Under sustained pressure the piston L moves, allowing the catch E to be operated. In another form of apparatus, Fig. 4, weights A arranged on opposite sides of the axis of the wheel are arranged to move outwards under centrifugal force, and tend to rotate a movable ring H relatively to a fixed part J. As the ring moves, a catch E attached thereto comes into register with a recessed portion of a flap G, which is then released to move under the influence of a spring. Several superposed flaps showing different colours for different speeds may be released in succession. The weights are arranged to neutralize the effect of jolts. fig. 6 shows another form of apparatus in which weights A move outwards against springs. Each weight has a slot enlarged at one end to release the catch E' on the flaps when the weights move out to the required point. Fig 7 shows another arrangement in which a plunger, fitted with a slow-moving piston B, operates by rack-and-pinion gear a flap C. When the particular speed is reached and maintained, the piston B enters a slot B' and holds the plungers. If the plunger moves quickly, as when the vehicle is jolted, the piston does not move quickly enough to enter the slot B<1>. To test the apparatus, a pressure gauge may be inserted through an opening F, Figs. 1 and 7, to bear against the plunger A ; or a spring balance may be attached to the arms F, Fig. 4, carrying the weights.

Title: Pressure Regulator for Automatic Pneumatic Brakes.
Inventor: MICHEL JOSEPH EDOUARD ALEXANDR
IPC: B60T15/12
Filed: 1909-04-07
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 8446. Michel, J. E. A. April 7, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 7616/08.] Fluid - actuated valves. - Relates to the driver's valves for fluid-pressure brakes described in the parent Specification, and consists in an improved driver's valve in which a reduced feed is obtained when the valve is in running position. Figs. 1 and 2 show sections of the driver's valve at rightangles to one another. The valve casing A is connected at B to the train-pipe and at C to the main reservoir. Diaphragms I, I<1> are connected to a rod H, which is raised by a constant spring J and by an adjustable spring J<1> to open a valve E admitting air from the main reservoir to the train-pipe until the pressure acting on the larger diaphragm I equalises with the springs J, J <1>, and allows the valve E to close. The tension of the spring J<1> can be adjusted by a bellcrank lever U, one end of which bears against a cam-shaped plate T' secured to the driver's handle T. On depressing the handle T to free the locking-tooth X from the rack a, the camplate can be turned about a pivot Q<1> to adjust the tension of the spring J<1>. When the tension is slackened to apply the brakes, the pressure of the train-pipe acting on the diaphragm I overcomes the springs J and J<1> and, moving the rod H downwards, opens the valve F to vent the train-pipe. The tension of the spring J<1> can be increased by moving the handle Z so that an excess pressure is produced in the train-pipe for rapidly releasing the brakes. in the normal position of the driver's handle, the upward movement of the rod H and, consequently, the opening of the valve E is limited by the camplate T', but a larger opening of the valve can he obtained when the brakes are to be released by depressing the handle T about the pivot Q, which moves the plate T<1> upwards. For straight-air brakes, the spring J is dispensed with or replaced by a tension spring, the regulation of the pressure in the train-pipe being produced by varying the tension of the spring J<1>.

Title: Method of Reproducing Photographs, Drawings and Paintings upon Precious and other Metals, also upon Vulcanite, by Mechanical Processes, for Ornament and Use in the Form of Jewellery, Metal Pictures, and the like.
Inventor: BRADBURY LEONARD
Filed: 1909-04-08
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 8517. Bradbury, L. April 8. Ornamenting.-Photographs, drawings, and paintings are reproduced upon metals and upon metal in combination with vulcanite, for use as jewellery, by first obtaining a zinc or copper block by the ordinary half-tone or line-block process, from which a mould C in powdered quartz, rock crystal, or plaster and asbestos powder or the like is taken. A thin layer of wax B is laid on the mould, and a pin or wire A is inserted in the wax. The mould is completely embedded in a metal cup D, leaving only the end of the wire protruding. The cup D has holes d in its base, and is filled with a quantity of the plaster substance D' mixed with water to a cream-like consistency. When the plaster substance D<1> is set, the wire A is withdrawn and the cup D placed over a Bunsen burner to burn the wax away. The cup, when perfectly dry, is placed in an air or steam-pressure casting- machine of the Le Cron, Solbrig-Platschick, or like type, and gold or other metal is melted in the cup over the hole formed by the removal of the wire. At the right degree of heat, the melted metal is forced into the mould by twenty or thirty pounds pressure of air or steam. A photograph is produced on metal in combination with vulcanite by pressing a piece of gold or silver foil or thin metal on the " the block," increasing the foil &c. with wax to the desired thickness, and embedding in plaster in a metal flask used for vulcanizing rubber. When the plaster is set, the flask, which is in two parts, is opened, and the wax is removed and replaced by soft rubber. The flask is then closed, and the rubber vulcanized in the usual way.

Title: Improvements relating to Breech Loading Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A13/04
Filed: 1909-04-08
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 8549. Dawson, A. T., and Buckham, G. T. April 8. Actuating valves.-In breech-loading ordnance of the kind described in Specification 28,785/03, [Class 92, Ordnance &c.], the fluid inlet valve is operated by means of a cam mounted upon the hinge bolt of the swinging carrier. The cam C' is mounted upon a ring C<2> on the hinge bolt C of the swinging carrier. As the breech is opened, the ring C<2> and the cam C<1> rotate together, the valve spindle d is thereby moved to admit fluid to the breech through a channel D, and a projection c<Î> at the same time passes a spring-controlled finger C<3>. As the breech is closed, the finger C' prevents the rotation of the ring C<2>, and the cam C' is then raised by inclined surfaces c<1> on the hinge bolt and ring out of contact with the spindle d of the valve D', which then automatically closes. The return of the cam under the action of a spring c is prevented by the valve spindle d and a flange C<1Î> until the breech is closed, whereupon a gap in the flange allows the cam to fall. Figs. 7, 8, and 11 show a modified arrangement for moving the valve spindle d. The cam on the hinge bolt is in two parts C', C<2>, Fig. 8, which can move relatively to one another in one direction against the action of a spring c<Î>, motion in the other direction being prevented by a shoulder c<1Î>. The valve spindle d engages with a camsurface e<1> on a pivoted spring-controlled finger E, which is moved to one side during the opening of the breech by the surface c<1> on the cam part C' and is held by the engagement of its heel e<Î> with a notch in a spring - controlled plunger F, as shown in Fig. 11. During this motion, the cam-part C' is being compressed on the cam-part C<1> and is therefore idle, but, on moving the hinge bolt in a direction to closeÀthe breech, the projection c<2> on the cam-part C<2> operates to return the finger E and thereby close the valve D'.

Abstract: 20,454. Herbert, A., and Vernon, P. V. Sept. 7. Chucks.-In a chuck of the type in which a tube slides longitudinally within the work-spindle to operate the gripping-means, the tube being operated by axial movement of an operating-sleeve, supplemental means are employed to cause motion of the tube should the normal meat s used fail owing to sticking of the tube. In the construction shown, the tube A and the operating-sleeve H are both feathered to the hollow spindle C, so as to have only relative longitudinal motion, the tube being screwed at its end B to engage a nut E, which has projections F engaging spiral slots G in the operating-sleeve, a thrust ball bearing K being interposed between the nut and the end of the work-spindle C. As the operating-sleeve is moved axially, the nut is rotated and .the tube A moved axially, thus operating the chuck. Should the tube stick in opening the chuck, a closing-ring L on the end of the operating-sleeve positively moves the nut E, and hence the tube. The spiral grooves in the operating-sleeve may be of double pitch, or any other helical connexion may be employed.
