Title: Improvements in or relating to Braiding and Lace Making Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1907-05-14
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 11,247. Boult, A. J., [Bartels, Dierichs, & Co.]. May 14. Braiding-machines.-Machines for making lace are constructed with the centre-disks a of somewhat oval outline, as shown, so that by using suitable drivers b the bobbins can automatically be left at the crossings. The bobbins then pass behind guard-springs d and into stopping-places d', where they rest until projected within range of the drivers. This projection is effected by patterncontrolled slides i, and the path of the bobbins is determined by the position of switches h which are similarly controlled. Instead of springs, detents r with upwardly-bent ends r<1> may be used, and may be carried underneath the slides. An equal number of switches and slides are employed, the switches being selected by means of pull-rods w<5>, v<5> and intermediate connexions. The unselected switches are held by springs against the sides of the tracks. In making plain braiding, the whole of the slides and one-half of the switches, namely either the inner or the outer set, must be operated at each advance. In making open-work, a smaller number of each is necessary. Each slide i can be operated by either of the two neighbouring switches, that is from the switch directly opposite, by the pressure of an arm w of a bell-crank and intermediate connexions, or in a similar manner from the adjacent switch by the arm v of a similar bell-crank. By this means, the pattern is worked out with a minimum amount of operation of switches and slides.

Patent GB-190800932-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Turbines, Pumps and Compressors.
Inventor: KIENAST ARNOLD
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 932. Kienast, A. Jan. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Screw pumps.-Screw motors which when driven in the reverse direction become pumps are constructed with a view to their being driven not because of the deflexion of the driving-fluid but by the action of compression shocks in the fluid and by the friction between the fluid and the surface of the rotor. To this end the fluid is passed between the smooth walls of the casing and the serrated or undulating surface of the rotor, which together form a steam-way, the cross-section of which alternately contracts and expands, but in the aggregate increases in cross-section towards the exhaust so as to accommodate the increasing volume of the expanding fluid. For example, Fig. 7 shows a motor in which the steam-way is formed between the walls of the casing, the undulating surface of the rotor, and spirally-arranged partitions. The variations in the section of the steam-way may also be occasioned by curving the spiral partitions as shown in Fig. 8. In the Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3), the invention is shown applied to a series of bladed wheels E, F, G, H, Figs 17 and 18, arranged with intermediate guidepassages S, T, U, as in ordinary pressure or velocity turbines. The blades, however, are constructed so as not to deflect the fluid as it passes from one set of guide-passages to the next, the power being imparted to the wheels solely as the result of compression shocks which take place between the running blades by reason of the alteration of the cross-section of the steam-ways. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: New or Improved Means and Appliances for the Prevention of Over Winding in Collieries and on Inclines.
Inventor: HILL ABRAHAM
Filed: 1908-03-26
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 4487. Hill, A., and Lane, H. March 26. Overwinding, preventing.-A mine cage used in collieries or in inclined shafts is attached to the hoisting-cable through the medium of a pair of side plates between which is mounted automatic detaching-mechanism, the side plates being supported after detachment from the cable by means of horizontal sliding bolts mounted in a framing fixed above the shaft. Figs. 6 and 7 show the detaching- device, and Fig. 3 shows one of the supporting- bolts. The hoisting-cable is attached to a loop 9 which is mounted between side plates 3 from which the cage is suspended. The shackle bolt 10, which is normally enclosed by the lop 9, is in two parts each hinged to a side plate 3 and kept in position by pivoted levers 11, which are locked in the closed position by slide bolts 13. Notches on the underside of these bolts are engaged by teeth on levers 15, which are adapted to slide the bolts to and fro. Normally, the bolts are locked by tumblers 16. When the cage rises too high in the shaft, the plates 3 are guided into flared openings 8 in a fixed framework 6. Removable bolts 19 rigidly mounted in this framework engage the tumblers 16 and levers 15 so as to withdraw the bJlts 13 and release the hoisting-cable. On the framework 6 are pivotally mounted bell-crank levers 26, which are weighted on their horizontal arms, and have their vertical arms coupled by a pin-and-slot connexion to horizontal bolts 25. When the side plates 3 rise in the recesses of the framework 6, they disengage locking-catches 28, thus allowing the levers 26 to slide the bolts 25 under the plates 3 so as to support the cage. Four bolts 25 are arranged at each side of the cage, and some of these bolts may be placed at a lower level. To replace the mechanism after an overwind, the levers 15 are turned by spanners so as to re-attach the hoisting-cable, and the bolts 19 are then removed and the cage is lifted off the supports 25. These are then withdrawn so as to allow the cage to be lowered.

Abstract: 8961. Pittman, C. J., and Ireland, F. April 24, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to improved gear for motor and like vehicles for driving each side independently through reversible ratchet gearing, which takes the place of the usual differential gearing, preferably on vehicles employing side chain transmission. To the driving - shaft or countershaft 10, Fig. 4, are keyed two crank-arms 11, to each of which is pivoted a double pawl 12, each pawl being carried on a fulcrum or pin 13 which is secured to a disk 14, loose upon the shaft 10. The pawls have two arms or detents 15, 16, one or other of which is capable of engaging with the toothed wheels 17, integral with the sprockets 18. When the vehicle is running ahead, the pawls are so operated that the detent 16 is in engagement with the toothed wheel. When the direction of driving is reversed, the detent 15 engages the toothed wheel 17. When the sprocket-wheel overruns the driving-shaft, as when turning a corner, the pawl is disengaged and the wheel can revolve freely. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also two modified constructions as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The form shown in Fig. 6 is applicable only to non-reversing vehicles. The pawl 12 is pivoted to the disk 14 which in this case is keyed to the driving-shaft 10. The pawl is held in engagement with the wheel 17 by the aid of a spring 20. This construction may be used on the end of the driving-shaft opposite to that to which the form shown in Fig. 4 is attached. In the form shown in Fig. 7, a double-armed pawl is reversible by a lever 21, which may be made to act simultaneously with the reversing - lever of the motor. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
