Abstract: 26,696. Crofton, H. C. S. Dec. 21. Equipments and accoutrements; capes; dresses etc.; sleeves.-An approximately circular cape A, Fig. 1, is made with a considerably overlapping double breast, so that it may be tied round the waist like a kilt instead of round the neck, and fastened by a strap 5. Sleeves are made in the cape and may be turned inside, in which case a button - over piece 9 covers the arm - hole. The cape has a pocket 11 and a collar 8 which may be turned over and buttoned down over the neck opening, thus forming a complete covering when the cape is used as a blanket or tent. The tent is fixed by pegging through leather-bound eyelets 12 round the edge. A larger covering may be made by connecting more than one cape together by means of the eyelets. The cape when used as a kilt by mounted infantrymen constitutes a cover for the horse.

Filed: 1906-03-30
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 7725. Rees, E. S. G. March 30. Turbines.-In dynamo-electric machines of the enclosed type, which are to be coupled directly to turbines, the bracket by which the machine is supported is formed integral with the frame of the dynamo-electric machine. As described in Specification No. 3157, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Dynamo-electric generators &c.], the frame of the dynamo-electric machine is formed in two parts a, b, Fig. 3, secured together by bolts c, and the bracket rings d, d' supporting the bearings are formed with gaps f, so that, when the bearing- caps g and the upper half of the frame are removed, the armature may be lifted out. The lower part b of the frame is formed with an extension h provided with a third ring bracket i similar in construction to the brackets d, d<1>. The three bracket rings are bored out at the same operation. The bracket j may be moved relatively to the collar l, which is rigid with the casing of the turbine m, so that the dynamo-electric machine may be turned axially into any desired position. The collar l may be formed with a gap corresponding with the gap in the bracket j to facilitate the removal of the shaft.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 11,933. Spotswood, M. L., and Weller, T. A. May 22. Tobacco pipes.-A perforated plate 1, which acts as a plug, is kept in position in the pipe bowl by means of bars 2 and spring arms 3 which are shaped to clip the bowl. A dome 9, below the plate 1, serves as a condenser for the vaporized moisture &c. and as a deflector for the smoke, which passes to the pipe stem through a central tube 7 in a cup 6, forming a trap in which the moisture &c. is collected. The cup 6 is hinged at 11 for facilitating emptying and cleaning. The bars 2, which are securely attached to an annular ring 4 fitting loosely on the top of the bowl, are provided with sharp edges so that by a twisting motion the sides of the bowl may be cleaned. In a modification, the perforated plate is used alone, being held in place by a bar 2 and spring arm 3. Disclaiming reference is made to Specifications No. 263, A.D. 1867, No. 18,024, A.D. 1893, No. 457, A.D. 1894, and No. 3436, A.D. 1902.

Patent GB-190625907-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Photographic Apparatus for Colour-photography.
Inventor: PFENNINGER OTTO
Filed: 1906-11-16
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 25,907. Pfenninger, 0. Nov. 16. Photochromoscopes.-In three-colour apparatus in which reflectors are used for the component reflected and transmitted images as described in Specifications No. 28,920, A.D. 1897, No. 9936, A.D. 1900, and No. 10,043, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Photography], the transmitted image is not a point by point image of the object owing to unequal refraction effects when the conical beam passes through the reflector. This results in an irregular contraction of the transmitted image, which in consequence will not exactly superpose upon the reflected images in three-colour printing. The present invention relates to means for overcoming this difficulty. According to one method, a thin colour screen can be sandwiched between two right-angled prisms. In another method, the reflected images can be made to correspond more nearly to the transmitted image by interposing a similar plate T<3>, Fig. 8, as nearly as possible parallel to the reflector T. Further, a plate T<2> can be interposed in the path of the transmitted image, but inclined relatively to the mirror T and the camera, as shown in Fig. 8, so as to balance the unequal contraction. In this case the transmitted image is smaller all round than the reflected images, but this can be allowed for by adjusting the back focusing- plate. By another method, a small angled prismatic reflector TP, Fig. 6, can be used instead of the ordinary glass reflector T and compensating-plates. The reflector T need not reflect the image at an angle of forty-five degrees ; a larger and preferably smaller angle may be used as in Fig. 10. In this case, if the reflector is of very thin glass, the auxiliary compensating glass T<2> does not need to be employed. A further advantage of this construction is that no direct rays can reach the top plate. The whole camera may be fitted with folding baseboard and usual fittings according to the work required, or it may be duplicated for stereoscopic work. The system of compensating-plates is also applicable to all systems in which reflectors are used, and in particular to such apparatus as are described in the following Specifications, namely: No. 4606, A.D. 1892, Nos. 2305 and 3784, A.D. 1895, Nos. 13,666 and 15,753, A.D. 1899, Nos. 10,993 and 13,468, A.D. 1902, No. 15,204, A.D. 1904, and No. 4290, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Photography]. Specifications No. 28,920, A.D. 1897, No. 9936, A.D. 1900, and No. 10,043, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Photography], are also referred to.

Abstract: 23,825. Russell, F. W. Oct. 29. Counting-apparatua.-Relates to apparatus for counting the number of turns or oscillations made by a skipping-rope or other moving body. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the parts. The motion from the skipping-rope 29 is transferred, through an eccentric 35 on a short shaft 34 and a plate 36 oscillating about a point 37, to the first counting-wheel 16. A pawl 38 on the plate 36 engages one of'the gaps 20 of the counting-wheel 16 and is adapted to drive the wheel in one direction, sliding over the wheel in the other direction. The counting-wheels 16, 17, 18 are mounted loosely on the axis 13 which is provided with a longitudinal slot 14, the wheels being held in position by a nut 15 and a spring 26. The wheels 16, 17 have each a pawl 21 mounted thereon and engaging with the next higher wheel to effect the transfer. A distance-piece 22 dipping in the slot 14 is capable of longitudinal movement only, and has in contact with it the part 21<a> of the pawl 21 controlled by the spring 25 engaging with the stop 23. The pawl 21 is guided by another stop 24, and when the part 21<a> is pressed into the gap 21<b> of the distance-piece 22, the end 21<b> of the pawl falls into one of the teeth 20 and drives the wheel forwards one tooth. The other end of the axis 13 is secured to the article to which the counting-device is attached, and has a disk 42 which rotates the axis when zeroizing the counters. Projections 40 on each wheel are adapted to engage projections 41 on the enclosing case 30 when the axis 13 is moved longitudinally and then turned by the disk 42, the projection 43 leaving its recess in the handle 28. The wheels are carried round until the projections 40 and 41 meet, when the zero numbers are seen through the apertures 32, the axis 13 returning to its normal position.
