Title: Improvements in Rocking-horse Tricycle.
Inventor: BARRETT GEORGE
Filed: 1908-02-20
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 3890. Barrett, G. Feb. 20. Horses, velocipede.-In a velocipede, the rocking of a horse 1 about a pivot 3 upon a tricycle frame 2, through a spring 16 and a sliding transom-plate 11, operates connecting-links 8 and thus turns cranks 5. The cranks may also be turned by pedals 19. The plate 11 slides upon a feather 12 upon the steering- stem and is connected to the spring. The links are connected by ball-and-socket joints 10 to the sliding plate. When the weight of the rider is thrown to the rear, the spring raises the cranks to their uppermost positions to be again depressed when the weight is thrown forwards.

Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 10,334. Archibald, R. May 12. Boat raising, lowering, and disengaging gear.- Relates to means for connecting a boat or other article to lifting-tackle in such a manner that release is automatically effected as soon as the weight of the boat is taken off the tackle. The usual hook attached to the lower block of the davit tackle is replaced by a shank 2 with an enlarged head 3. A member 5 having a socketed recess 4 adapted to receive the lower end of the shank 2 and its enlargement 3 is secured to the frame of the boat at bow and stern. Each recess 4 is inclined away from the seat of the enlargement, and is directed towards the other end of the boat in order that, if the boat be tilted owing to one end being disengaged before the other, the enlargement 3 will be forced out of the socket by the stem 2 bearing against the upper edge of the recees. A safety-pin may be inserted slightly through the member 5 to retain the enlargement 3. The member 5 may be carried by the tackle and the shank 2 attached to the boat.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Carburettors.
Inventor: MAXIM HIRAM STEVENS
Filed: 1908-11-18
Granted: 1910-02-18
Abstract: 24,790. Maxim, Sir H. S. Nov. 18. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. A carburettor is provided with a central perforated chamber a, in which slides an air-controlling piston a' formed with a central perforated tube a<3> which is attached to a fuel valve a<2>. This valve has a neck of triangular or other angular or other form with a cylindrical portion a<4> at the lower end, which serves to shut off the fuel at excessive speeds thereby acting as a governor. The lower end H of the tube a<3> closes the main passage for air entering at E until it is raised by suction. At other times air passes with great velocity through the narrow channel e, carrying with it fuel from the nozzle D<1>. The mixture after passing through the perforated chamber and a funnelshaped portion k escapes at F. Water is circulated in the jacket G. Vibration of the air and fuel valves is prevented by a spring k<3> pressing against collars K<2>, k<1>, the latter being adjustable by a sliding plunger K which may be clamped in any position. A stop k<4> limits the upward movement of the plunger.

Abstract: 7712. Mitchell, C. H., and Furneaux, H. S. March 31. Change-speed gearing ; clutches, applications of; motor-starting devices, applications of. - Relates to variable - speed gearing, suitable for motor-cycles, of the class comprising driving and driven pulleys of fixed diameters, and an intermediate double expanding pulley movable in line therewith. The double pulley comprises a double conical flange D, movable transversely between relatively-fixed conical flanges C, E. A belt B', Fig. 3, from a driving - pulley P<1> passes between the flanges D, C, and a belt B<2> running to the driven pulley p<2> passes between the flanges D, E. The flange D is threaded upon four rods A, Fig. 1, which extend from the shouldered boss B of the flange E, and are secured to the flange C in such a way as to fasten the flange C to a flanged stubspindle F. The flange D is secured at its centre to a rod Q, which is moved endwise through the boss B by a pivoted bell-crank lever W to vary the velocity-ratio transmitted. The portions of the rods A between the flanges D, E are surrounded by loose rollers H', upon which the belt B<2> may be allowed to fall to give a ' free ' engine '. The flange E is adjustable on the boss B by a screw L. A cone G screwing on the spindle F is provided with studs H, which may be engaged by a handle J in starting the engine. Transverse movement of the flange D is accompanied by a movement of the double pulley in line with the pulleys P', P<2>, to keep the belts tight. The double pulley is carried by a frame S, which slides on inclined guides V so as to keep the belts B<1>, B<2> always in the same plane. The lever W is pivoted upon the frame S, so that turning the lever W effects all the changespeed movements.

Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 17,733. Bommer, E. July 30. Spring hinges.-Hinges of the kind described in Specification 25,135/04, for double swing doors are constructed so as to do away with, or to simplify, the ball bearings in connexion with the spring barrels, and so as to provide removable washers in the bearings for strengthening them and for taking up the wear. The spring barrels and their connecting - web may be formed by stamping and pressing from a single metal blank. As shown in Fig. 2, the barrels a, a' are mounted between flanges d, d<1>, on the door casing and the door respectively, by the usual pintles and knobs, and the oppositely-wound springs s, s<1> are secured to internal shoulders on diagonally opposite holders g, g<1>, secured to the barrels by pins g<2> and adjustable tension-collars f. Collars g<4> on the holders g, g<1>, by bearing on the plates d, d<1>, are adapted to take up all the load. Rotatable or fixed washers may be arranged between the holders g, g<1> and the plates d, d<1>, on ball bearings e, Fig. 5, may be arranged between the two parts g<1>, g<4> of a split holder, the part g<4> being connected by flanges and recesses n', n to the plate d'. A retaining-ring r embraces the parts g', g<4> and prevents loss of the balls e. The fixed washers used are provided with bent-up lugs which engage similar recesses in the plates d, d<1>. When the barrels a, a' and their connecting-web are made from one sheet of metal, which is stamped out to the shape shown in Fig. 12, the blank is bent to form first the barrel a<1> and then the barrel a, as shown in Fig. 11. In this position, projections 4 on the second and third layers of the web coact with recesses 3 in these layers, and these interlock when the layers are pressed together, and projections 8 on the third layer take into slots 7 in the barrel a<1>. The ends 1 of the first layer are then bent over to secure the webs in position, and these then take into recesses 6 in the third layer of the web. The connecting- web may be formed of four instead of three layers.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Purifying Water.
Inventor: LACOMBE JOSEPH MARCELIN HENRI
IPC: C02F1/52

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 20,737. Lacombe, J. M. H. Sept. 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Liquids, purifying.-The water is supplied by a shoot 2 to compartments 3, 4 alternately. When one of these is full, the water overflows down a conduit 6 into one of the buckets 7, which tilt a beam 8 about a shaft 9. The shaft 9 operates the outlet valves 13, 14 of the compartments 3, 4 by means of gear-wheels 10, 11 and spindle rods with looped ends. Cross-bars 7<a> open the valves 15 of the buckets 7 when they reach their lowest position. The water is discharged from the compartments 3,4 respectively into lower compartments 17, 18, which pass on the greater part of the water to a wheel 23 but retain a fixed quantity for discharge to a lime saturator 29 when the valves 19 are opened by loose connexions from the beam 8. The gear-wheel 12 that moves the shoot 2 also operates, by a chain 34, a four-way valve 28, by means of which two small measuring-compartments are alternately filled from a chamber 24 containing soda or other reagent, and discharged by the pipe 35, the reagent being added to the water from the wheel 23, and the lime-water from the saturator as they enter the mixing column 25 of a decanting- vessel 30. Agitators 32, 33 in the saturator and mixing-column are operated by the water-wheel. The motion of the beam 8 after it passes the horizontal may be made more abrupt by means of a tube 31 containing mercury and mounted parallel to the beam.
