Title: Improvements in and relating to Pit Sinking and Apparatus connected therewith.
Inventor: WALKER CHARLES
Filed: 1908-05-01
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 9505. Walker, C. May 1. [Patent of Addition to No. 22,745, A.D. 1905.] [Cognate Application No. 20,499, A.D. 1908, dated Sept. 29.] Piles.-In a system of pit sinking wherein a floating ring is employed on the outer surface of which, and of the tubbing, piles are guided,the tube of tubbing being superposed above the ring, the piles may be built up as shown in Fig. 10 or Fig. 17, the holes 19 being for engagement with jacks, and the projecting portion 16 for preventing ingress of sand into the space between the piles and the tubbing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Injectors.
Inventor: METCALFE JAMES
Filed: 1908-05-22
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 11,124. Metcalfe, J., and Metcalfe, R. D. May 22. Exhaust injectors. -The live steam supplied to an injector when the exhaust fails is prevented from entering the exhaust pipe by an automatic valve e which may be hand c ontrolled, and, further, loss of pressure is lessened by supplying the live steam from a branch situated between this valve and the ordinary exhaust-steam nozzle. A flap valve m is opened during the passage of the exhaust steam, and is closed when pressure exists on the delivery side of the valve or by the cam-like part n. The live-steam orifice k and the co-axial inducer nozzle o are arranged at the inlet end of the exhaust-steam nozzle d. An aperture k<1> allows steam to issue and prevents the formation of a vacuum behind the nozzle k when the valve is closed. A three-way cock q permits steam to pass from the main p either to the outlets o, k separately, or to both together, and serves to cut-off all live steam.

Title: Improvements in Sole Channelling Machines.
Inventor: WEBSTER EDWIN ALMON
Filed: 1908-08-20
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 17,516. Webster, E. A. Aug. 20. Channelling.-A sole-channelling machine of the type described in Specification No. 29,283, A.D. 1906, is provided with improved feeding-mechanism for the sole, and is also arranged so that the rotary cutter co-operates with the upper feed-wheel to form the upper-receiving shoulder in such a way that the chips are completely severed from the leather, leaving the edges of the sole and shoulder smooth and even. The sole is fed by two wheels, a lower one h made of emery, carborundum, or other hard, finely granular, or gritty substance, and mounted between flanges g<1>, g<2> at the front end of a shaft b, and an upper one i provided with teeth i<0>, which extend obliquely right across the face of the wheel and in the direction of its rotation. The wheel i is mounted at the front end of a shaft d, which is connected by an adjustable sliding clutch d<4>, d' to a shaft d<2> in gear with the shaft b. The shaft d is mounted in a head c, which can be raised slightly against the action of a spring c'. The channelling-knife j is rigidly but adjustably mounted in an inclined guide in the head c. The rotary knife n, Fig. 8, for forming a shoulder at the sole edge is secured to a shaft k, Fig. 1, mounted in a support m, and is fitted with two blades n<1>, Fig. 8, which extend longitudinally of the shaft k, either parallel, or convergently or divergently. It rotates in the opposite direction to the wheel i, and with the blades n<1> in close proximity to an annular face i<1> extending from the wheel, as shown in Fig. 8. This face cooperates with the blades n<1> to sever entirely the chips made in cutting the shoulder ; it also prevents the blades from lifting the sole and cutting too deeply into the leather. A ring o, Fig. 4, rotatably mounted on a fixed bearing-sleeve in the support m, carries a semicircular combined chip-guard and presser-foot o<1>, which is pressed against the sole in front of, and closely adjacent to, the path of the knife by a spring q, Fig. 1.

Abstract: 20,559. Kellmereit, A. Sept. 30. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Motor road vehicles.-The invention comprises a construction of controllable coupling between motor-cars, and goods vans. A cross member a is fixed on to the rear of the motorcar and is provided with a spring buffer head b. The shanks of the hooks e pass through the cross-member and are attached to a cord n through the medium of springs i. The cord is guided over rollers o and adapted to be moved by a hand-wheel m mounted on the car separate from the steering- wheel proper of the motor car. By means of members the hooks e are connected to hooks f, which are fixed to a cross-member h mounted on wheels and provided with a buffer c at one side while at the other side it is connected by means of a pivoted link p to the forecarriage of the goods van. By turning the steering-wheel m, the cross-member h can be turned together with the forecarriage of the goods van so as to allow this to follow round curves with greater facility.

Abstract: 18,318. Ward, F. A. Aug. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Driving and feed devices.-Relates to indexing - mechanism for gear - grinding and like machines of the type in which a carriage carrying the grinding-disk is moved towards and from the gear-wheel by a cam-groove on a drum. The cam drum is mounted on a shaft I and is driven by a worm on the shaft F. A disk 0 also mounted on the shaft I carries a sliding clutch member L spring-urged outwards so as to engage one of two blocks K mounted on a spur-wheel J, from which motion is carried through the gear train S ... S<8> to the workcarrying arbor. The member L is disengaged from a block K on each revolution by a spring- pressed plate Q, which acts on the end M of the member L after a pin R<1> on this member has passed beyond a retention plate R. The spurwheel J therefore receives a half-revolution for each revolution of the plate O. As the member L re-engages a block K, a pin V on the plate O engages a spring-urged lever G, and removes its end T from a notch in a plate U carried by the spur-wheel S, thus unlocking the train and permitting its movement. The wheel S makes one revolution for half a revolution of the wheel J, and on the disengagement of the clutch member L, the lever G springs back into the notch in the plate U.
