Abstract: 29,475. Baker, T. W. Dec. 19. Block tyres. - Blocks of india-rubber or equivalent elastic material are formed with a body portion A, Figs. 1 and 2, hardened by vulcanizing or stiffened with canvas or fibre, a soft tread portion J, and a soft portion K bearing on the rim. The blocks are guided in cells formed by the side plates B and transverse webs E, as is described in Specification 10,306/06, and further by transverse bolts passing through slots. In addition, there may be lips on the side plates, and radial bolts passing through the' felloe. In the form shown in Fig. 4, a flanged ferrule I is fitted in the slot, and a spacing- sleeve surrounds the bolt F. The soft bearing- portion consists of a separate inflatable cushion. In plan, the blocks may be of rectangular, tee, rhombic, or other polygonal form.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: NORMAN GEOFFREY HAMILTON

Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 1905. Norman, G. H. Jan. 25. Lever - actuated pumps; stroke, varying; regulating delivery by opening suction valves.-Oil is forced into the cylinder of an internal-combustion engine by a pump r through the pipe A. The oilpump plunger is raised during its suction stroke by a lever s connected to the motor piston, the delivery stroke being made by a spring t. The effective stroke of the pump may be controlled by the pressure of air in the reservoir d adjusting through the piston 4 the fulcrum of' the lever s, by a cam w which arrests the plunger, by opening the suction valve F, or by a loaded relief valve 6. The cam wand the valve F are actuated by the same mechanism that adjusts axially the cam D controlling the valve f for re-admitting air to the cylinder a from the reservoir during the working stroke. The valve 6 is so loaded that some or all the oil returns to the oil reservoir when there is a rise of pressure above the normal in the reservoir d and consequently in the cylinder a at the beginning of the working stroke in consequence of the early closing of the air valve f by the governor.

Patent GB-191202105-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Aerial Photography and Surveying.
Inventor: FARMER ERNEST HOWARD
IPC: G03B15/00
Filed: 1912-01-26
Granted: 1913-01-27
Abstract: 2105. Farmer, E. H. Jan. 26. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Surveying and aeronautical photography.-In the production of photographs from an aeroplane or air - ship, the effect of the varying speed, direction, and altitude of the aircraft in producing a displacement of any given view upon the film is neutralized by controlling the motion of the sensitive film by a hand-operated sighting - device kept constantly directed upon some feature or part of the landscape. A revolving drum d with a network surface g is mounted in an outer case c, and is revolved by a shaft s at an adjustable speed. A roll film camera is used and the film-winding mechanism is controlled by a flexible coupling from the axle of the drum d. The landscape is viewed through an opening f in the bottom of the casing c by means of a mirror m which reflects the image on to a view opening e. The rotation of the cylinder d is controlled so that a point of the network g follows the same point in the landscape, and the connexion with the roll-film mechanism of the camera is adjusted according to the focal length of the lens and radius of the drum, so that the angular motion of the film at any instant is the same as that of the drum. To further counteract the effect of side winds, the camera and the case c are mounted so as to be always horizontal, and are adjustable in an horizontal plane, and the roll-film axis is mounted so as to be always parallel to the axis of the drum c. The drum, and consequently with it the camera, are thereby kept in the direction of the actual traverse over the ground, so that objects seen have no side movement relatively to the grating g. By using time drums on which are recorded the revolutions, the altitudes, and the angular positions of the viewing-instruments and camera from the commencement of the flight or from a given point, an approximate knowledge of the distance traversed as well as of the nature of the country beneath and of the positions and distance of objects beneath is obtainable. A sensitive film is used which is as optically homogeneous as possible, to avoid any scattering of light in the film. For this purpose, the silver sensitizer should have the same refractive index as the vehicle. In the vehicle, barium sulphate in solution in gelatine may be incorporated in the gelatine.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Darning or Sewing Mantles for Gas Lighting by Incandescence.
Inventor: COHN SAMUEL
IPC: F21H3/00
Filed: 1912-02-26
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 4772. Cohn, S. Feb. 26. [Addition to 4763/12, Class 75 (i), Burners &c.] Incandescent-lamp-mantle sewing-machines; feed by clamps &c.-Relates to mantles manufactured according to the method described in the parent Specification, and consists in means for sewing-up the end, comprising a device for holding the mantle whereby the end may be stitched by the stitching-mechanism, and means for moving the holding - means to feed the mantle. A shirring-string may first be passed through one end of the mantle as described in Specification 15,134/01, and the opposite end secured to the ring. The first end may then be partly closed by drawing the string, and then darned across. In the bed-plate of a sewing- machine is arranged a platen 14, Fig. 6, serving as a guide for a plate 21 which slides in grooves 17. The plate 21 is provided with an aperture 24 to loosely receive a mantle-holding member consisting of a ring 28 having an apertured base 27, The ring 28 receives a mantle ring 29, Fig. 4, the mantle material 30 being pressed up to leave the mantle end 31 flat across the aperture 27. A presser-ring 13 presses lightly on the ring 29 to hold it down while allowing it to revolve, a pin 32 on the ring 28 engaging with one of the mantle-ring supports to ensure combined rotation. A spring 9 surrounding the needle 6 presses on the work when the needle is depressed. To limit the reciprocation of the slide 21, a vertically-movable gauge 36 is arranged in a groove and is connected by pin and slot to the platen. The ends 40 engage in slots 39 and when the gauge is lowered the width of the slots 39 limits the reciprocation. The gauge 36 is raised to allow of removal of the work-plate 21. The ordinary feed-bar 41 carries a V-shaped dog passing through an aperture in the platen to engage teeth 45, Fig. 10, formed on the outside of the ring 28. The ring is thus rotated by the feed-bar, which also carries a resilient plate 55 having a pawl 54 engaging a tooth 53 on the slide 21. On the underside of the plate 55 is a pin 70 resting on a cam-disk 66 driven by a pawl 63 and ratchet 61 from the feed-shaft 48. The pin 70 alternately rests on a rise and a dip of the cam 66 so that the pawl 54, at every other movement of the feed-bar 41, engages the tooth 53. On the return of the feed-bar, the tooth 53 is moved to move the slide 21 against its holding spring while the needle makes a stitch, after which the slide 21 is freed and returned. A ring of stitches 46, Fig. 13, is preferably first made with the slide 21 held fast. The slide is then reciprocated at every other feed movement, causing alternate stitches to be formed at the centre 77, and at the outer points 78, 79, to darn the mantle evenly and regularly. Specification 21,942/09, [Class 75(i), Burners &c.], is also referred to.

Abstract: 16,344. Smart, G. F., and Clark, G. B. July 12. Coating - machines.- In machines for labelling bottles, &c., and more particularly of the kind described in Specification 20,457/11, [Class 73, Labels &c.], adhesive is applied to two opposite edge portions of a label by a roller which is caused to move bodily relatively to each edge portion of the label in succession, in a direction from the centre of the label to the corresponding edge, and is simultaneously rotated about its axis in a direction to wipe adhesive on the label in a direction from the edge towards the centre. Labels are carried by a pneumatic separator e from a pile a to bottles on a rest b and during their travel receive adhesive from a roller h carried by arms i rocking on a shaft z<1>. As a label o is travelling from the pile to the position 2, Fig. 3, the roller h overtakes it, contacts with its forward end, and is rotated in the direction of the arrow by a pinion k carried by the arms i and gearing with a pinion j on the shaft of the roller h and with a fixed rack, m. When the roller h reaches the position 3, Fig. 3, the pinion k leaves the rack m, and the pinion j gears with a pinion on the shaft of the supplyroller d rotating in a tank c. The roller h is thus rotated in the direction of the arrow and applies adhesive to the rear end of the label.
