Title: Improvements in and relating to Machinery for Winding Thread, Yarn, Twine, and the like into Balls.
Filed: 1904-11-14
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 24,610. Alexander & Co., R. F. & J., and Mackie, J. Nov. 14. Balling twine.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 8210, A.D. 1901. Means are provided for automatically transferring the tickets from reservoirs A to the ticketing-cups B, by means of which they are applied to the balls and secured therein in the usual manner. The reservoir A, containing a pile of tickets, is carried by a stem A', which is normally held in its lowest position shown, against the action of a spring c<3>, by means of the lever G<1>, slotted link I<1>, and an arm 1 projecting from the rocking shaft H of the ending-mechanism. When the shaft H turns to put the ending-mechanism into action, the reservoir is forced upwards, so that the uppermost ticket therein is pressed against the end of a short tube J<1> projecting from a hollow shaft J connected with a vacuum pump. The ticket adheres to the end of the exhausted tube J', and by the rocking of the shaft J is transferred to a position above the cup B, when the shaft J is disconnected from the vacuum pump the ticket is deposited in the cup. The shaft J is rocked by means of the levers L, N and a cam M, which is secured to one of the usual cams of the machine. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement of slide valve for connecting and disconnecting the shaft J and the vacuum pump. The shaft J is connected with the valve inlet K<2>, and the valve outlet K<1> is connected to a vacuum pump, while the slide K is operated in one direction by a cam and in the other by a spring k', so as to connect and disconnect the ports k<1>, k<4> in the manner desired.

Patent GB-190521723-A (GB)
Title: Improved Variable-speed Friction Gear, particularly adapted for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: CLIFFORD ISIDORE
Filed: 1905-10-25
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 21,723. Clifford, I. Oct. 25. Motor road vehicles.-A variable-speed friction gearing, particularly applicable to motor road vehicles, comprises a driven roller f slidably mounted on the transverse shaft g and pressed into engagement with the uniformly driven cone b by a cylindrical roller h. The shaft g may conveniently carry sprocket-wheels g<1> which drive the vehicle wheels. The cone b is arranged so that its lines of engagement with the friction wheel f is parallel to the shaft upon which the latter is mounted, the cone being conveniently driven as shown by the engine shaft d. The shafts g, i are rendered capable of a slight transverse movement by being slidably mounted in elongated bearings as shown in Fig. 2. The roller h carried by the shaft i extends along the range of travel of the disk f, and may be pressed against the latter to bring it into engagement with the cone by means of cams k fixedly mounted on the shaft j, which may be rocked and locked by operation of the quadrant lever t, with which it is connected by the links v, u. To slide the disk f along the cone b when either in or out of driving engagement to vary the speed ratio, the disk has a grooved boss carrying a strap or collar m, which is engaged and operated by a slotted bellcrank lever o pivoted at p and connected by the link r with the hand-lever and quadrant s. Other operating means may be employed. The axes of the cone, roller, &c. may be arranged in a vertical or other plane, or the roller h may be adapted to be oscillated or swung towards the friction wheel f. In a modification, the axis of the sliding pinion may be arranged in line with the motor shaft instead of upon a transverse shaft, and a reverse may be obtained from the lowest speed by means of bevel pinions on the friction wheel and the narrow end of the cone, and an intermediate double bevelwheel, spring-mounted so that in forward driving it is out of mesh.

Title: Improved Apparatus for the Reception and Stamping of Letters and the like.
Inventor: REID ROBERT WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-05-29
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 12,478. Reid, R. W. May 29. Platen presses; inking-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for the reception, prepayment, and stamping of letters, post cards, circulars, &c. for transmission by post, or for use in warehouees, offices, &c. without prepayment to check and indicate the letters &c. sent out independently or not of the postal authorities. The coin is inserted in a slot g, and in dropping down a shoot encounters first a pivoted lever f and then a lever s<1> before leaving at k. Rocking of the lever f causes the pivoted receptacle d to escape engagement with the hook f<1> and to allow a letter &c. to pass into it from a slot b. A date stamp e<1>, which also prints the word " Paid, " is pressed forward by the bar e', thereby pushing aside an inking-pad e<4> and stamping the letter. The receptacle d being swung backwards by the stamp allows the letter to escape through a slot c. Operation of the lever s' actuates a counting-apparatus y. When the lever f has been tilted by the coin, a catch r engages a stud q on a lever m, thus holding a member l, over the coin-slot g so as to keep it closed. A stud d' on the receptacle d actuates the gong of a bell when the stamp is pressed forward. In a modification, the coin-freed mechanism is dispensed with, the apparatus being otherwise the same. According to the Provisional Specification, the stamping-plunger is provided with a bell or gong.

Title: Improvements in Steam and Gas-heated Kettles or the like.

Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 13,082. Royles, Ltd., and Royle, J. J. June 6. Water-heaters; gas supply, controlling; dampers. -The gas-supply valve or the damper of a waterheater is controlled by the boiling of the water. The boiler A is connected to a double cistern G, containing ball-taps F, F<1> controlling the gas and water supplies respectively, by an inlet pipe N separately connected to each half of the cistern G by means of pipes J, I. Non-return valves are fitted in these pipes so that water will readily flow down through the pipe I or up through the pipe J, but the valves fit loosely, thus permitting the water to leak through the pipes, When the water boils, the steam forces water up the pipe N past the valve J into that half of the cistern, and by lifting the ball-valve decreases the gas supply. On withdrawing hot water, the deficiency is made up at first from the cistern containing the valve F, the greater head of water in this cistern causing a rapid leaking past the valve J. The gas supply is thus increased. As more water is withdrawn, the water in the two cisterns becomes more nearly level and a larger amount of water flows from the cistern containing the ball-valve F<1>, thus opening the water supply from the main. The arrangement may be adapted for beating by ordinary fuel, a damper being controlled by the displacement of the water by steam. A float may be fitted in the water chamber carrying a valve which, when the chamber is full of water, presses against and closes the end of the water outlet pipe. When the water begins to boil and steam collects at the top of the chamber, the float falls and the valve opens, thus permitting the boiling water to be withdrawn. Reference is made to Specification No. 15,192, A.D. 1891, [Abridgment Class Heating].

Abstract: 26,995. Allen, T. G. Dec. 6. Plug cocks.-Relates to taps for gas burners, particularly for use with acetylene gas, and of the kind wherein by means of an adjustable stop the tap can be completely opened or closed, or can be turned to a third position in which a pilot flame is produced without the aid of a by-pass. Fig. 4 shows the tap in the open position. When the plug b is turned so that the stop d comes into contact with the end of a hidden groove c within the bore of the tap, the gas supply is cut off. If the plug is turned in the opposite direction, its movement is limited by an adjustable screw stop, and a pilot flame is produced. In a modification, the groove c is formed in the, plug, and the stop d is in the casing.

Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 27,165. Robbens, G. Dec. 9. Levels; clinometers.-A device for indicating the horizontal, the direction of gravity, or the gradient of any slope, consists of a casing a containing a drum b, on which is wound a cord or-tape d passing out through a suitable opening a'. By suspending the case by means of a hook d' and stretching the cord tight by pulling on a handle h, the vertical or horizontal at any point is obtained by reading one of the three spirit levels j, k, l, attached as shown to the case. By means of a weighted pointer n, the instrument can be similarly used for finding the slope of a piece of ground, Fig. 6. The swing of the handle h is limited by a stop i. A spring f<1> forces a catch into one of a series of holes in the drum to prevent its rotation during a reading.
