Title: Improvements in Draught Excluders for Doors and Mode of Adjusting same.
Inventor: REID JOHN
Filed: 1906-09-19
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 20,778. Reid, J. Sept. 19. Draught - excluders.-A. draught - excluding strip 8, fitted in a framework at the bottom of the door, is connected by links 14 and bell-crank levers 10 to a sliding rod 5 which normally projects beyond the door stile. When the door is closed, an adjustable screw 20 on the door-post meets the sliding rod 5 and forces it inwards against the action of a spring 6, causing the strip 8 to bear against the floor. A pin 18 on the strip sliding in a slotted plate 16 on the framework prevents the strip from moving horizontally. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 1484, A.D. 1888, No. 24,103, A.D. 1895, Nos. 3736 and 8845, A.D. 1902, and No. 8934, A.D. 1903.]

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 26,815. Bock, R. E. O. Feb. 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydrometers. - Relates to portable hydrometers of the kind in which the stem of a float serves as a pointer and moves along a scale indicating specific gravities attached to the vessel containing the liquid. The float b has an internal chamber c for holding ballast which is introduced through the hollow stem e. The end of the stem is afterwards closed and tapered. A thermometer f placed in the float is held between the chamber c and the outer casing. The stem e is normally clamped by a spring-controlled finger-piece h<3> against a frame h attached to the vessel. When a test is to be made, the end h<4> of the finger-piece is pressed and the stem released. The vessel is provided with a spout a', which ensures the liquids under test always rising to the same level. In a modification, the specific-gravity scale g<1> is attached to the outside of the vessel, and a pointer consisting of a wire frame partly encircling the vessel is suspended from the float stem.

Abstract: 27,058. Mayer, E. C., Mehle, M., and Decman, A. Nov. 28. Folding paper.-Relates to apparatus for folding sheets or piles of paper used for packing purposes or in the manufacture of paper bags to any desired width, by a fold in the direction of travel. The sheets are fed over a table a and folded over the edge i of the table by means of a bending-plate f. The table a is adjustable transversely on guides b by means of a screw c, and carries the plate f on arms d. The plate f is arranged over the table so that it forms with the edge' i a uniform slit or passage, and is shaped so that the part extending beyond the edge i bends downwards under the table in a spiral curve and gradually approaches the horizontal position and broadens out. The edge i is bevelled, and the table is gradually tapered in cross-section towards the outlet end. Pressing- rollers complete the fold. The sheets are fed by means of a roller l mounted on the table a, and a belt k travelling under rollers h and over a tensioning-roller j and movable with the table.

Title: Improvements in Armor Plate.
Inventor: DYMOND GEORGE CECIL
Filed: 1907-02-06
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 2989. Dymond, G. C., [Gathmann, E.]. Feb. 6. Armour.-Armour plates are formed with face ribs so constructed as to deflect or break up a striking projectile. The plates are relatively thick and are made with intersecting wedge-shaped ribs not necessarily at right-angles, or with longitudinal ribs alone. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the ribs D, which are disposed longitudinally of the hull, are higher and closer together than the cross-ribs E and are formed with the upper face a approximately horizontal, and the lower face b at less than 45 degrees. Figs. 6 and 7 show other forms of the ribs D. The ribs E may be staggered, and may even be dispensed with. In order to minimize the risk of cracking, the edges of the ribs are rounded and shallow notches may be formed in their outer angles. The plates from which the armour is formed are preferably subjected to pressure and are carbonized in the usual way ; the ribs are then made by direct-acting dies or by rolling, and the plates are afterwards face-hardened, whereby three strata A, B, C, of different degrees of hardness and with wavy junction-planes shown by dotted lines, are formed. Specification No. 13,033, A.D. 1906, is referred to, and the plates are distinguished from non-hardened thin plates with ribs or pockets.

In the type of two-speed gear described in Specification No. 3881, A.D. 1906, to provide a free-wheel on both speeds by the gear itself, the positive clutch device between the sunpinion and the carrier is replaced by a pawl-andratchet arrangement. The carrier J fixed to the hub has a flange J<1> provided internally with ratchet teeth L to engage pawls E upon an extension D<1> of the sun-pinion, pawls G upon a fixed piece H being adapted to engage ratchet teeth F. For the low gear the parts G, F are in engagement, but by sliding the members C, D, D' to the right, these parts are disengaged and the pawls E brought into engagement with the teeth L so that the gear turns as a whole. By allowing the clutching to overlap, no neutral position occurs during the change of gear.

Abstract: 10,694. Rennen, C. E., and Romeiser, W. May 16. Springs, successively-acting, for variable loads. The ends of a laminated vehicle bearing-spring are connected by a tension element, which may be adjusted to take up loads which are in excess of that for which the spring was designed. The spring a is connected at one end b directly to the vehicle frame c, but at the other end by means of a link d. Tension wires or wire cords g are connected at one end to lugs h, Fig. 4, pivoted to the pin of the link d, and at the opposite end to a yoke k by ferrules i. The yoke k slides through sleeves q fixed to the pin b. Springs o contained in casingsp are interposed on the wires g. When the spring a is subjected to the load for which it was designed, the link d comes opposite a mark r on the vehicle frame, while the springs o are unstressed. When the load is in excess of this amount, the tension elements g are adjusted so as to put the springs o under stress, until the links d are brought again to the marks r. The adjustment is effected by a screw m, which rotates freely in the yoke k and engages a nut n formed in a fixed cross - piece. The springs o may be replaced by liquid dash-pots or pneumatic buffers.
