Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Hydraulic Intensifiers.
Filed: 1905-09-11
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 18,329. Davy Bros., and Holmes, T. E. Sept. 11. Valves and valve-gear.-In hydraulic presses on the steam - intensifier principle, positively-closed lift valves used for the admission and exhaust of the steam are operated by a single handing-lever and at the same time controlled by a hunting-gear such as that described in Specification No. 781, A.D. 1905, to prevent the steam piston from overrunning the proper limit of its travel and to cause the steam to be automatically cut off at a position corresponding to the position in which the hunting- lever is held. Steam is admitted to and exhausted from the intensifier through a passage 18 which is connected to the valve-box 19 to which the steam and exhaust pipes are connected, admission and exhaust being controlled by separate balanced lift valves 22, 23. The admission valve 22 is attached to a floating lever 34, one end of which is connected to the short arm of the handing-lever 30 and the other at 49 to a rod 48 which is attached to the hunting-gear described in the above-mentioned Specification. The exhaust valve 23 is connected to the handing-lever and hunting-mechanism by means of levers 38, 51 pivoted to the framing of the valve casing. The effect is that any movement of the lever 30 which tends to open the valve 22 tends to close the valve 23, and vice versa. The necessary lost motion to allow the hunting- mechanism to act is furnished by means of the pin and slot as shown, or by equivalent mechanism. The press head is raised by means of steam cylinders, the supply to which is regulated by means of a piston valve 29, which is normally operated by the handing-lever 30 by means of a link 56 ; when rapid strokes, however, are being made, this is detached and the valve held open by the weight 57, thus furnishing a cushion of steam beneath the lifting-cylinders.

Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: STEBER BERNARD THEODORE
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 2424. Steber, B. T. Feb. 1, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Circular knitting machines. -The object is to knit a multiple-thread fabric having float threads at the back, and to insert into the ground fabric, if required, either an elastic weft or a pile thread. The vertically - sliding cylinder needles are operated in two sets, as, for example, by having the alternate needles with longer or shorter butts than the adjacent needles and employing stitch cams to operate first one and then the other set of needles. There may be a number of sets of stitch cams and moving with each set are two thread-eyes, carrying one yarn to each set of needles. Each yarn is laid on the stems of its set of needles at the time when the other set is depressed, and to allow the yarn, where not looped, to get to the back of the fabric, the needles are bent forward as shown at 59, Fig. 2. This allows the temporarily depressed set of needles to miss the yarn when they rise, and also permits of an elastic thread being inserted between two main yarns. In order to insert a pile thread, one set or two sets of sliding hooks 16, Figs. 2 and 11, are arranged on a fixed dial 14, and are operated by a cam-cap 19, Figs. 2 and 4, revolving with the cylinder cams. The pivoted out-throw cams 23 of the cap 19 carry pins 26 projecting through sectional slots 27 of the cap 19 into camacting grooves 29 of a superposed plate 28, Figs. 2 and 14, which can be shogged to bring the cams 22 into the inoperative position or vice versa. The yarn-feeding ring 35 is connected to the cam-cap 19 and to the cam-cylinder. The pile yarns are fed to the stems of the temporarily elevated needles by thread - eyes 41, 42 of depending brackets 38, Figs. 2 and 15, of the ring 35 and are drawn into loops by the hooks which move in and out below the latches of the elevated cylinder needles. The pile loops thus lie at the backs of the temporarily depressed needles. The loops can afterwards be cut, or napped into a fleece.

Title: Improvements in Space Telephony.
Inventor: STONE JOHN STONE
Filed: 1906-04-26
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 9788. Stone, J. S. June 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telephone systems. -Relates to wireless telephony by means of electromagnetic radiation, and comprises means for varying the amplitude of persistent trains of waves of uniform frequency in accordance with the variations of amplitude of the sound waves. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a generator of unidirectional electromotive force supplies energy to a spark-gap Sand sets up persistent oscillations in a circuit G and in the inductivelyrelated circuit R, which is associated with the elevated conductor V. The sound waves are caused to vary the length of the spark by employing the transmitter diaphragm T' as one terminal of the spark-gap. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which a magnetic blow-out n, s is used at the spark-gap, and in which the transmitter T controls the impedance of a resonator circuit 30 and thus affects the amplitude of the waves emitted from the antenna. The circuit 30 may be inductively related with the circuit G. In another modification, the transmitter is in series with a battery and a primary winding of a transformer, the secondary of which is coupled in series with a condenser so as to shunt the spark-gap. The spark-gap may be a multiple spark-gap, the discharging surfaces of which freely conduct the heat, or the electrodes may be water-cooled. Fig. 5 shows a receiving system in which a telephone n is used in conjunction with a bolometer K and potentiometer R. The receiving-instrument may, however, be a condenser telephone which itself forms part of the resonating circuit 33. Specifications Nos. 27,272 and 27,295, A.D. 1902, and Nos. 25,643, 25,644, and 28,826, A.D. 1904, are referred to.
