Title: Improvements in Fire-resisting Paints or Coating Compositions
Inventor: MEULENER ANTONIO
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 861. Meulener, A. Jan. 14. Fire-proof paints.-A fireproof paint which serves as a base for subsequent painting or 'varnishing, consists of a mixture of sodium and potassium silicates, aqueous acetic acid and a varnish formed by dissolving asphalt in turpentine, together with solid materials such as kaolin, refractory earth, silex, or the precipitate obtained by treating sodium silicate with sulphuric acid.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Signalling Systems for Railways and the like.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 9851. Boult, A. J., [Union Switch and Signal Co.]. May 6. Automatic systems; electric railways and tramways, signalling on.-In an automatic electric signalling-system in which the track rails are electrically continuous to both power and signalling currents, and in which adjacent block sections are supplied with signal current of different phase, the relays used have a rotor winding connected to the track. The relays 14, 15, 16 have preferably two windings on the stationary cores energized by currents of different phase, received from the linewires 29, 30, through phase-changing devices 22,24. Adjacent blocks are fed with currents of different phase. Relays are only closed by currents from transformers of their own section. If the propulsion current is alternating, three conductors 28, 29, 30 are preferably employed, being connected to two generators 31, 32 on the same shaft. The field coils of the relay are connected to one generator, and the track is supplied from the other. This avoids operation of the relays by power-current leakage, which flows into the conductors 28, 29 and thus does not affect the field coils.

Title: Improvements in Gas Burners of the Automatic Lighting and Governing Type.
Inventor: GOZZARD ALFRED
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1909-01-23
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 1671. Gozzard, A. Jan. 23. Pressure - regulating v a l v e s; actuating v a l v e s . - I n a gas burner of the automatic lighting and governing type, a highpressure closing-valve d is superimposed on the low-pressure valve b in such a way that when the gas pressure rises, the valve d is pressed upon its seat and the gas passes only through an aperture g at the apex of the valve, thus regulating the pressure passing to the burner. The stem c of the piston valve b is formed with a square or triangular extension which extends into the body of the conical valve d, so that when the valve b is raised by a slight increase in the pressure, the gas passes through the central opening in the valve d as well as between the valve and its seating, but, when the gas pressure is raised sufficiently, the stem c raises the valve d so that the gas passes only through the aperture g. The valve b is formed with guiding-lugs r, Fig. 3, and may be weighted by means of disks k. The seat of the valve d may be adjusted by the threaded plug p.

A safety razor, of the type in which a four-edged blade is held between a guard or support and a back-plate of a truncated pyramidal form, has the back-plate 4 and the blade 3 slotted from the corners all along the pyramidal portion, so that, by the aid of set-screws 18 screwing through the support 2, the edges of the blade and back-plate may be independently adjusted to vary the cut of the razor. The blade 3 is held between the support 2 and the back-plate 4 by a spring-controlled sleeve 14 having a projection 13, which engages with a groove 11 in a stem 10 attached to the back-plate and passing through the hollow handle 1 integral with the support. A longitudinal groove 12 in the collar below the groove 11 allows the projection 13 to be inserted in, or withdrawn from, the groove. In a modification, the back-plate has pins which pass through the slots in the blade and holes in the support, and the stem 10 is reduced in diameter, the grooves 11, 12 being formed on a nut screwed thereto.

Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 28,616. Mackenzie, J. W., [S. C. F. Machinery Co.]. Dec. 7. Cuttling.-The fabric is folded and piled by a travelling carriage 2 which is reciprocated to-and-fro automatically through any desired distance. The fabric is drawn from a roll, along a shoot over a roller disposed centrally above the machine and over and around convexedged crease-smoothing and guiding boards 50 ... 54, Fig. 8, by a pair of positivelydriven and intergeared rollers 42, 43. The carriage is traversed by a pinion 23 upon it, which engages with a rack 3 normally fixed in the frame of the machine. The rack is free to move endways a little in opposition to springs, so as to avoid shock on reversal. The pinion 23 revolves with a bevel-pinion 22, which always engages both of two oppositely-arranged pinions 18, 19 mounted freely upon the main shaft 16 of the carriage. The pinions are connected to the shaft 16 alternately by a slidable double dog-clutch 20. The clutch is moved at the end of each stroke of the carriage by a lever 24 when that lever abuts upon one of two such stops as 41 fixed at the ends of the desired travel in the machine frame. The lever 24 acts through a pair of subordinate lever-arms fixed to it which press upon springs 35, 37 and through them move a rod 32 and a rod 33. The dogclutch is connected to the rod 33. The rod 32 is held normally in an extreme position by one or other of two catches 25, 26 and not until a cam-plate 29, fixed to the lever 24, is moved sufficiently to free the catch from the rod 32 can the latter move under the pressure of the springs. The shaft 16 on the carriage is driven by a pinion 14, which is splined to a shaft 11 running the whole length of the machine frame. The fabric is piled upon a platform or table resting upon a frame which is guided by vertical bars and supported by attachment to chains. A chain is attached to each corner, and all four are geared together by cross-shafts and chains. Movement of the chains is controlled by a wheel 8, Fig. 15, which is normally locked by a band brake 75 and its loading-lever 72. A silent ratchet shoe 81 bears upon the inner surface of the wheel 8 and is actuated through a link 80 by a lever 10, which is moved by the travelling carriage 2 at the end of every alternate journey. A hand-operated wheel 78 gears with teeth on the wheel 8, and, when this is used, the brake is removed by lifting the lever 72. The shoe 81 is removed from contact with the wheel 8 at the same time by a lever 94 pivoted on a fixed centre and connected with the end of the lever 72. The table can be drawn off its supporting- frame for the removal of the folded fabric, and for this purpose the front end is provided with a pair of legs having castors.

Abstract: 4967. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 5, 1909, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Subaqueous sound signals.-In a subaqueous sound-transmitter, the sounds are produced by disruptive electrical discharges from a condenser taking place between spark electrodes situated either in the water that is to transmit the sound, or in a space containing alcohol, oil, &c. and separated from the outside water by a sound-conducting wall h. The walls of the vessel containing the electrodes may be so formed as to concentrate the sound-vibrations in the desired direction. The pitch of the note may be altered by varying the electrical values of the discharge circuits, the temperature of the dielectric, or the size of the electrodes.

Electric clocks.-A device for operating clocks &c. comprises a ball of magnetic material arranged to travel periodically along a fixed track, and, by attracting at a certain point in its path a pivoted permanent magnet, to energize an electro-magnet adapted to give the ball the impulse required to carry it through a complete cycle of operations. Within a case 6, having a non-magnetic cover 10, is placed a twolimbed electro-magnet 13, having pole-pieces 15, and connected to a generator, such as a battery of cells contained in the case, through a stationary contact 20 and a contact 19 carried by a pivoted permanent horse-shoe magnet 18.
