Title: Improvements in Alarums for Application to Doors of Dwelling Houses and the like.
Inventor: CROOK CHARLES ALPHONSUS
Filed: 1906-08-22
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 18,768. Crook, C. A. Aug. 22. Alarms, burglar and like.-In an alarm for application to the doors of dwelling-houses, safes, and the like, an electric circuit is completed when the door handle is turned, and the lock cannot be operated until this has been done. A lever 1 is fixed on to the handle spindle 2 of the door fastening, the outer end of which is in contact with a second lever 3 and bolt 4 pivoted at 5 to the lock plate 6. Another lever 7 is pivoted on the same axis. When the spindle 2 is rotated, the lever 1 forces the levers 4, 7 to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction, withdrawing the bolt from the lock 10 and causing the end of lever 7 to depress the spring 12 and complete an electric circuit, thus sounding an alarm. When the handle is released, the end of the bolt 4 enters the hole 9 owing to the action of the spring 14 or by gravity, and the circuit is broken, or arrangements may be made to complete this circuit until it is broken by other means. The whole of the apparatus may be encased in the box portion of the lock, and the 'alarm device may be combined with any ordinary door lock or fastener.

To the periphery are secured, by tenons and double wedges, the units 19, 20, 21, each of an axial length equal to the length of core between two ventilating-ducts. Both sides of the units 19, and one side of the units 20, are cut away to form slots in which the coils 30 are secured by means of double wedges between the shoulders 23<1> and the coil. Retaining-pieces 38, bolted to the members 13, clamp the end windings in place. In a modification, there are as many rings as there are coils per pole, and as many retaining-pieces as there are coils, the retaining-pieces having interlocking tongues. Specification No. 13,864, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Title: Process for the Manufacture of Peroxide of Potassium, or of a Mixture Rich in Peroxide of Potassium
Inventor: JAUBERT GEORGE FRANCOIS
Filed: 1907-03-30
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 7641. Jaubert, G. F. July 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Alkali peroxides. - Potassium peroxide or a mixture of alkali peroxides is prepared by heating to a moderate temperature with a limited admission of air or oxygen an alloy of potassium with a metal, such as lead, tin, zinc, or sodium. In the case of a liquid alloy of potassium or sodium, the process may be modified, the layer of potassium oxide which forms in the cold being removed and treated as above. When, however, the alloy is rich in potassium, the whole mass may be peroxidized. The process may be carried out in an iron tube provided with mica windows. Within the tube an iron basket or vessel containing the alloy is arranged, and the amount of oxygen absorbed is controlled by air meters at the inlet and outlet ends of the tube. The peroxide formed can be separated from the foreign matters, in the case of an alloy of lead and potassium, by sifting, and is compressed into cakes. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 contains the statement that in the case of an alloy of sodium and potassium rich in the latter, the pulverulent potassium peroxide can be separated from the granular sodium peroxide by sifting. This subject - matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Patent GB-190800964-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Winding Yarn or Thread and the like
Inventor: RUSSELL SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-01-15
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 964. Russell, S., and Russell, W. F., [trading as Russell & Sons, S.], and Hallam, W. Jan. 15. Winding - machines.- Relates to machines for winding yarn, thread, &c. and particularly to machines for the winding of shuttle quills or bobbins for elastic web, smallware, and other looms. The driving - shaft b carries disks c, which frictionally drive rollere j on the winding spindles a, which are arranged on opposite sides of the disks and are carried by swinging brackets e. These brackets are pressed towards the disks by springs i and are pivoted on cross-pins f adjustably mounted in the frame of the machine. The bobbins l are supported in cups k on the ends of the spindles and in similar cups m rotatably mounted in a non-rotary spring- pressed holder n. The thread-guides y are carried by two-part collars 10 having lugs 13, connected by a thumb-screw 12 and pressed apart by a spring to allow the position of the guides to be adjusted. The thread-guides are traversed by a cam z, which rocks a pivoted lever 2, connected to a rocking shaft 5, which is connected by linkage 6,7, 8 to thethread-gnides. When the winding of a bobbin is completed, each spindle a is automatically withdrawn from frictional contact with its driving-disk e, and so stopped, by means of an eccentric roller &c. s, which is rotatably mounted at the end of a rod t depending from a collar u adjustably secured upon the crosspin f carrying the spindle-bearing bracket e. The parts are relatively adjusted so that, when the winding is completed, the increased diameter of the bobbin produces a partial rotation of the eccentric, which by its eccentricity pushes the bobbin out of contact with the driving-disk. A handoperated stop-device consists of a handle v having a cam-shaped boss acting on a corresponding part on the bracket, the handle being held in position by a bolt w passing through the spring i and abutment piece h. By moving the handle, the bracket is pressed sideways against the spring and withdraws the roller from the driving-disk.

Abstract: 2467. Oliver, R., Oliver, C. E., and Korrocks, F. P. Feb. 4. Rollers or cylinders.- A calender bowl is built up from a series of paper rings each formed with a keyway engaging a feather on the shaft or vice versa, and spaced between the rings are metal rings or disks d, preferably of steel, similarly secured to the shaft a. The metal rings are of tapered cross-section and are formed with teeth of any desired shape and also if desired with perforations g, Fig. 6. As the bowl is being built up, the rings are periodically subjected to hydraulic endwise pressure to obtain the necessary solidity, the rings being retained in position by end flanges b, b<2>, which are secured to the conical ends of the shaft by wedges b<1>. The bowl is applicable to Schreiner calenders.

Title: Improvements in the Process of Reducing Arsenical Ores.
Inventor: WESTMAN GUSTAF MAURITZ
Filed: 1908-02-15
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 3480. Westman, G. M. Feb. 15. Cupola furnaces; regenerators. - Metallic arsenic is obtained by subjecting arsenical ores to the action of heated reducing-gases produced in the presence of the ore, and by condensing the arsenical vapours evolved. Coke is filled into a furnace 1 and heated to incandescence, the ore being filled into the furnace upon the coke, or mixed therewith. Air is forced through the tuyeres and passes through the glowing coke, producing heated reducing- gases containing carbon mon - oxide, which liberate the arsenic from the ores, the metal being removed from the condensers 7 through valves 20, 21. Lime or limestone may be introduced into the furnace to flux the gangue, the slag being removed through an outlet 5 and matte through an outlet 6. The blast for the tuyeres may be heated by passing through jackets 14 adjacent to or surrounding the condensers.

Title: Improved Striking Mechanism for Variable Speed Gears for Cycles.
Filed: 1907-10-22
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 5123. Kimberley, F. A., and James Cycle Co. Oct. 22, 1907. Driving-mechanism.-For effecting the change of gear in variable-speed gears for cycles, a spring- governed rod or bar within the axle is connected to the axially-movable member of the gear, and is moved against the action of its spring by means of a cam-surface or projection upon a spring-controlled bar or rod arranged at right-angles thereto. As shown in Fig. 1, the striking-mechanism is applied to a three-speed gear, such as is described in Specification No. 23,331, A.D. 1907, and the rod h<1> controlled by a spring h<2> is connected by a plate j to a sun-pinion d<1>. The bar or rod a with a camsurface f has a projection a', which, when the bar is moved longitudinally, engages a slot b upon the sun-pinion extension c and so fixes the sun-pinion; if desired, however, the means for effecting the axial movement of a gear member may be used independently of means for holding a gear member stationary. The rod h<1> slotted at h has one or more inclined faces i to engage the cam-surface upon the rod a.
