Patent GB-191002614-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanical Flying Machines.
Inventor: SHORT HORACE LEONARD
IPC: B64C3/54
Filed: 1910-02-02
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 2614. Short, H. L., Short, A. E., and Short, H. O. Feb. 2. Steering and balancing by adjustable surfaces arranged laterally in pairs. Planes or shields are pivoted adjacent to the forward edge of the supporting - planes, and are angularly adjusted from the normal position parallel to the planes, to positions at or towards rightangles thereto so as to impede the flow of air to either the upper or lower side of the planes. When the shield 6, Fig. 1, is pivoted below the plane 1, the movement of the shield to bring its rear edge near the plane 1 decreases the supporting-effect of this plane, while, when the shield 6 is located above the plane 1, a similar movement causes an increase in the supporting- effect due to cavitation. The shield 6 is pivoted at 8 to the upright 7, and is controlled by a cord 11. When the shield is arranged below the supporting-plane, its lower edge in the operative position should be somewhat lower than the rear edge of the plane. A spring 9 tends to hold the shield in an inoperative position against a stop 10. In a modified form, the balancing- shields 6, 18, Fig; 4, are arranged above and below the supporting-plane 1, the upper shield on one side of the machine being actuated simultaneously with the lower shield on the other side. The shields 6, 18, Fig. 7, may be pivoted so as normally to lie against the supporting- plane. In operation, the shields are moved in the direction of the arrows.

Title: A Device for Automatically Stopping the Discs of Talking Machines.
Inventor: LOUVET JULES
Filed: 1910-03-10
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 6066. Louvet, J. March 10. Stopping.-A disk-record gramophone, of which the records finish at the periphery, is automatically stopped by a groove on the record rapidly leading the stylus and tone-arm off the edge of the record, where it drops on to a T- headed lever and applies the brake. A straight ur curved groove or embossment b on the diskrecord a leads the tone-arm into the position shown dotted in Fig. 1 at the end of the record, where it drops upon the T-headed lever i carried in a socket j fixed to the casing. The lower end k of the lever i has an adjustable screw s engaging a bell-crank lever l, which is adapted to rock a rod m pivoted at n and thereby move the attached brake lever f and apply the governor brake g, as if the lever f had been operated by hand. A spring p releases the governor brake g, when the tone-arm is placed in position on a fresh record. In one modification, Fig. 6, the T-headed lever i presses a rod u pivoted at v against a brake lever x pivoted at x<1>, and this in turn against the turntable edge t. A spring y releases the brake x when the tone-arm is lifted. In another modification, Fig. 8, the T-headed rod i presses on one end of the brake lever z pivoted at y, and applies the brake on the underside of the turntable.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanical Time Fuses for Projectiles.
IPC: F42C9/04
Filed: 1910-04-05
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 8183. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. July 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to clock-work time fuses, the timing disk of which is connected to an outer setting ring by means of a clutch, which normally holds the disk at rest, but releases the same when the projectile is discharged from the gun. According to the invention, the clutch is released by inertia instead of by centrifugal force as heretofore. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the timing disk A has a tongue a<1> which fits in a slot c<1> in a bolt C mounted on the setting ring B and held at safe by a spring c<6>. On discharge, the bolt C sets back, compressing the spring c<6>, and presents an opening c<2> to the tongue a', thus releasing the timing disk A. In another form, shown in Fig. 6, a forked pawl E pivoted to a flat spring F swings back on discharge.

Title: Improvements in Starting Devices for Flying Machines.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: B64C35/00

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 7520. Bloxam, A. G., [Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik]. March 25. Starting. - A starting-device of the kind in which a piston - rod engaging the ground is driven out of a fixed cylinder by means of compressed gas generated for example by the explosion of gunpowder comprises a vessel having a small compartment c for a cartridge f, communicating by a restricted outlet d with a larger chamber b, which is connected by tubes n with the cylinder o fixed to the machine. The pistonrod q slides in the cylinder o controlled by the spring s and is provided with a shoe r having ridges t for engagement with the ground. The chamber b and the space provided by forming the pistonrod hollow serve to moderate the action of the compressed gas. The plug e closing the chamber c is secured bayonetjoint fashion by a series of inter-engaging segmental projections forming screw-threads on the two parts. When the plug is in position, an insulated pin thereon is brought into contact with a spring pin m on the vessel. This prevents the discharging - current from flowing before the plug is secured. The cartridge f is attached to the plug c by its flange, which engages a segmental slot on the plug. Benzine or the like in cartridges ignited electrically may be substituted for gunpowder.

Abstract: 21,169. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Nov. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 13,691/10.] Systems, electric.-The ignition system described in the parent Specification is modified so that the mechanical interrupter always controls the ignition, and starting is always effected with the trembler. The auxiliary contact, corresponding to the auxiliary contact 11 in the parent Specification, has two contact points 11, 19. To start, the push-button 5 is depressed, and contact is first made with the trembler blade 14. If the engine has stopped with the interrupter 6 open, trembler sparks are obtained; if the interrupter at starting is closed, the push-button must be further depressed, so as first to open the auxiliary contact and then close it. In this short interval between the open and closed position of the auxiliary contact, the trembler works. Specification 20,623/11 is also referred to.

Abstract: 1250. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. Jan. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.- A single - phase repulsion motor for driving cranes &c. is braked by converting the motor into a shunt-excited direct current machine. The motor is switched off from the mains, the short-circuit is broken at the brushes, and a load resistance is switched in. According to one arrangement, Fig. 2, the brushes b', b<2> are shunted both by a resistance w and by a shortcircuiting switch k controlled, for example, by a relay r.
