Patent GB-190822546-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gauge or Try Cocks for Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: CLOSE ROBERT JOHN
Filed: 1908-10-23
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 22,546. Close, R. J. Oct. 23. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Actuating valves and cocks piston valves.- A piston valve 7 in a gauge cock slides in a casing 1 and through suitable glands 11. The piston is held normally in the closed position by a spring 19 ; the port 17 which leads to the hollow 16 in the piston being closed. To bring the port 17 into communication with the passage 6 from the boiler, a lever 23 pivoted to an arm 24 is used to depress the piston. Instead of the lever operation, a cam 27, Fig. 2, may be fixed to the valve spindle and arranged to co-operate with a cam-shaped boss on a band-lever 30 so that, when the lever is rotated, the spindle is depressed and the valve opened. The spindle is held from turning by a pin in the casing, which projects into a groove in the spindle. Fig. 3 shows a further modification. The boss of the lever on one side is plain and bears upon a collar 20 fixed to the valve spindle, and on the other side is cam-shaped and bears upon a corresponding cam surface on the gland nut 14.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Filters.
Inventor: SUCRO REINHOLD
IPC: B01D39/20
Filed: 1909-01-23
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 1716. Sucro, R. Jan. 23. Bag filters; filtering- media.-In the preparation from asbestos fibre of a paste which is to be spread on asbestos cloth, dried, and baked, the fibre after treatment with hydrochloric or other acid is mixed with an aqueous alkali or alkaline hydrate or carbonate, the mixture being subsequently washed and a concentrated solution of magnesium or other soluble fluosilicate added. The asbestos fibre may be initially mixed with insoluble substances such as powdered marble or gypsum. A medium prepared as above is stated to be particularly adapted for the filtration of wine. Bag filters.-A cloth impregnated in the above manner is used for the element b, Fig. 1, which comprises a wire frame supported by rings at either end and, if necessary, by intermediate rings.

Patent GB-190903983-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Tieing Together the Ends of Two Threads by a Weaver's Knot.
Inventor: HANSEN HANS ADOLF
IPC: D03J1/16
Filed: 1909-02-18
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 3983. Hansen, H. A., and Petersen, M. E. March 3,1908, [Convention date]. Tying or knotting. - Two thread ends are tied together by a weaver's knot. One thread end is held by a clip 3 on a shuttle 4, and the other by a clip 26 on a revoluble carrier 28. The shuttle is carried between two clips 17, 18 on a slide 8, which is reciprocated by the handlever 11. A lug 56 is bored for the reception of a cylinder 55, and has a screw-thread to correspond with the helical rib 54. As the slide 8 moves, it causes the cylinder 55 and the shaft 50, which is splined to the cylinder, to rotate. The shaft 50 carries an arm 60 which engages a pin 61 on a segmental gear 58, and thereby rotates the carrier 28. At a certain point in the rotation of the shaft, a cam 63 on it bears upon a fixed cam 64 and moves the shaft axially, thus removing the arm 60 from engagement with the pin 61 and so stopping the rotation of the cylinder. In tying the knot, as the lever 11 is moved to the right and the shaft 50 is rotated, a cam 52 removes a locking-lever from a hole in the carrier, which is then rotated by the gear 58. The thread, the end of which is held in the clip 26, is wound upon the pins 34, and that part of it held in a clip 32 on a rod 33 is moved forward at the same time until the clip 32 is below the thread-guide 47, over which the thread between the clip 32 and the pins 34 is passed. The vertical portion of the thread between the clip 32 and the guide 47 is then passed on the right by the shuttle 4. In the return movement, the thread passes by the thread on the opposite side. At the end of the forward movement, the shaft 50 is moved axially, stopping the rotation of the carrier and bringing two cams 51, 53 into operative position. The cam 51 then removes the threadguide 47, and the cam 53 moves laterally a plate 35 on the end of the carrier, which pushes the thread of the pins 34. In the return movement, the tensions of the threads are controlled by the rods 7, 33 to keep the threads in proper relative position and finally to tighten the knot. A latch-plate and detent 88, 90 keep the shaft in the extreme left position until the plate 8 is brought to its initial position. When the knot is finished, the loose ends of the threads are cut by two knives 91, 92. Fig. 9 shows the arrangement of the threads before the tightening is begun.

Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators.
Inventor: BOTHE OTTO
IPC: G01P1/08

Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 10,210. Bothe, O., and L÷scher, O. April 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Speed indicators; group-speed mechanism. -In apparatus provided with means for indicating the speed in steps or stages, the indicating - means are. moved intermittently by a spring motor which is released and allowed to act each time a speed stage is passed in either direction. A shaft moving in accordance with the speed rotates cam-disks s, s<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, loosely mounted on a shaft a, which actuates indicators such as coloured disks. The cam-disks are adapted to engage with pins t, t' on pawls p, q carried by disks n, o mounted on the shaft a. The pawls are adapted to engage with disks j, k, which are provided with projections l, m and are loosely mounted on the shaft a and driven in opposite directions by a spring barrel c through gear-wheels d, i, e, f, h. The shaft a is thus locked until, under the influence of one of the disks s, s<1>, one of the pawls p, q is thrown out of engagement and the shaft a is revolved until the pawls again fall into gear. The spring motor c is automatically wound up by a vehicle-driven ratchet z, with which engages a pawl y carried by a ratchet v secured to the winding-shaft b. The pawl y is thrown into engagement with the ratchet v to wind up the spring by a projection c<1> on the spring barrel striking the tail of the pawl y, and is released when the barrel has made one revolution.

Abstract: 10,932. Borchardt, H. May 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to automatic fire-arms of the type described in Specification 17,678/07. According to the present invention, an elastic or delayed extraction of the cartridge is obtained without the formation of the usual space between the breech-head and the cartridge-case which occurs in guns having spring-actuated extractors, by arranging the breech-head so as to be longitudinally movable in the breech-block, the extractor-claw being fixed relatively to the breechhead. Toggle-links b, a, Fig. 2, are connected to a sleeve k which encloses the firing-pin. The breech-head v is movably arranged within the sleeve k, and is connected to the part x by means of an outer sleeve w provided with a cross-pin w<1>, Fig. 3, the cross-pin passing through a longitudinal slot in the sleeve k. The firing-pin spring f acts upon the part x as an abutment. The extractor h is inserted in the breech-head v, and is acted upon by a spring i. In operation, the sleeve k and the firing-pin move rearwards after discharge, compressing the spring f and leaving the head v and extractor h gripping the cartridge, as shown in Fig. 2, until the spring f overcomes the resistance of the cartridge case; the head v then again assumes the position shown in Fig. 3.
