Title: Improvements in or relating to Cut-outs of Exhaust Silencers for Internal Combustion Engines and the like.
IPC: F01N13/08
Filed: 1910-12-09
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 28,623. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Jones, E. W. Dec. 9. Oscillating disk valves; actuating. - An exhaust cut-out for the silencers of internal-combustion engines &c. comprises an oscillating plate 1 pivoted on the cover 10 of the silencer and adapted to control two or more orifices 2. The plate is rocked by a foot or hand actuated plunger or lever arranged so that successive down-strokes of the plunger or lever move the plate into the open and closed positions alternately. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a plunger 8, pressed upwards by a spring, carries a pivoted arm 7, and a roller 6À on this arm works in a slot 5 in the plate and engages one or other of two cam-surfaces 3 or 4 according to the position of the plate. The arm 7 is returned to its central position by a guide 16. In a modification, the roller 6 and slot 5 are dispensed with, the end of the arm 7 bearing directly upon the cam-surfaces, and the arm 7 is brought to its central position by a spring- pressed plunger 19, Fig. 7, within the plunger 8, bearing on a flat surface 20 on the boss of the arm 7. In another modification, an actuating- lever is pivoted on the cover 10 below the plate 1, and the arm 7, which is carried on one end of the lever, rocks the plate when moving upwards.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 29,658. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Dec. 21. Firing-appliances applicable generally; breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block. - Relates to trigger-mechanism of the kind in which the resistance to the movement of the trigger is increased immediately prior to the release of the sear, and consists in forming the seartripping bar C with a projection or cam-surface which, near the end of the pull before the release of the firing-pin, meets a fixed stop and tilts the bar against a spring. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the tilting is caused by the cam-surface c<3> meeting the stop d. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the projection C<2> meets the stop d<x>, and, in the form shown in Fig. 3, the fixed pin d<x> meets the projection c'. The trigger-mechanism may be combined with a safety grip lever D of the kind described in Specification 29,663/10. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, a single spring actuates both the safety lever and the sear-tripping bar.

Title: Rug Making Machine.
Inventor: FELTON WILLIAM
IPC: D04G3/02
Filed: 1911-04-15
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 9325. Felton, W., and Atkinson, H. April 15. Pile fabrics. - Rugs are made by inserting strips of cloth into a canvas backing by means of the machine illustrated. The canvas is led from a roller over a spacing-bar m, Fig. 6, in front of which is a rack n with spaces corresponding to those in the bar m. A needle j is carried by a holder i slidable upon guide-bars i' secured to reciprocating pivoted swords a<5>. In commencing to insert a row of strips, the holder is moved against an adjustable stop k, Fig. 2. The needle j is then advanced and pierces the canvas, passing through a space in the bar m and a groove in the rack n. A rocking bar r then opens the pivoted jaw j<1> of the needle, and the attendant places a strip of cloth from a tray s into the open needle, which closes and retires, being again opened by an oscillating bar t to release the strip. According to the Provisional Specification, the strips of cloth for a row are placed in position under springs carried by the rack n. The needle-holder is then moved along its guidebars, to bring the needle opposite the next space in the bar m, by the rotation of a screwed shaft u, one at least of a number of spring-pressed plungers v<1>, Fig. 9, carried by a box v secured to the holder i, being in engagement with the screw-thread cut in the shaft. The shaft u is rotated on the backward movement of swords a<5> by a pivoted quadrant w, Fig. 12, contacting with an adjustable stud y and rotating a pinion w<1> loose on the axis of the shaft, pawls x<1> pivoted to a casing w<2> secured to the pinion w<1> driving a ratchet-wheel x fast on the shaft When the swords move forwards, a spring g<1> returns the quadrant to its normal position When the last strip of a row has been inserted, a stop z on the needle-holder contacts with an adjustable projection 2 on an arm 3, and a stop-rod e is thrust from its position behind a shoulder f<3> in a slotted plate e<2>. A spring then causes the stop-rod to shift the driving- belt on to the loose pulley c<1> and to apply a brake. The canvas and take-up rollers are then rotated, a bar 8 is actuated to withdraw the plungers v<1> from engagement with the shaft u, the needle-holder is re-set against the stop k, and the machine is re-started by a treadle. The already inserted strips are kept flat by a bar 8<a> carried by links 9.

Abstract: 18,736. Akt. - Ges. vorm. Seidel & Naumann. Sept. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus. - In Thomas machines adapted to print items &c. and totals, radially-notched disks, which are idle during the printing of items &c., but co - operate with spring - controlled rods or feelers when a total is to be printed, are substituted for the known stepped spiral disks, and give the printing-segments their differential setting - movement. These notched disks are adapted to lock the numeral - disks of the totalizer from movement in either direction Normally, the rods n, Fig. 1, are withdrawn from engagement with the radially-notched disks o, Fig. 3, attached to the numeral disks, by pivoted slotted sectors v controlled by a lever p. In this position of the lever, which is shown in Fig. 1, a bell-crank lever r, connected by a link q to the lower end of the lever p, is turned so as to disengage a link l, connected to the feelers n, from a pin i on an arm f' of a lever controlling, as usual, the position of the typesegments g, which can therefore be set without interruption by the keys t to print items &c. When the lever p is rocked, the feelers are allowed to engage the notches of varying depth in the disks o, and thus set the type-segments g through the link l, which has been allowed to fall into engagement with the pin i.

Abstract: 28,899. Hackett, L. A., and Whattam, E. W. Dec. 22. Systems for continuous-current motors only.- Cars on a scenic or like railway are controlled from a distant point by means of switches i, j. Closure of the switch i energizes a coil c<1> from a small dynamo d and closes a switch c. The series coil b<1> of the main dynama b is thus cut in, and the rails a<1>, a<2> are supplied with a low-potential current to start the cars at a dead slow speed. To accelerate the cars, the switch j closes a circuit containing the small dynamo d and the actuating coil c of the switch h. A spring-supported contactor f is thus pulled down to cut in the shunt field b<2> of the main dynamo, this circuit containing two banks g, g<1> of resistance controlled by the automatic switch h and by hand respectively. Where the machines are driven by a portable steam-engine, they are carried on a bracket attached to the boiler, the machine d being driven by a belt from the machine b, which in turn is driven direct by the steam-engine.
