Filed: 1909-12-08
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 28,713. Holmstrom, A. Dec. 16, 1908, [Convention date]. Propelling by paddle-wheels and endless-band propellers.-In a paddlewheel device for propelling in air or water, of the type in which each blade comprises a flexible surface held between two rigid arms adapted alternately to approach and to recede from one another during the rotation, the arms are so mounted in relation to their angularly-disposed shafts that they come very close together during the inoperative part of the rotation. In one form, Fig. 8, the arms 9 carrying the flexible blade 10 are fixed to bevel-wheels 6, by which inclined shafts 4 are mutually driven. To vary the direction of thrust, the bent rod 28 carrying the shafts 4 may be rotated by bevel-gear 27. In a modification, Fig. 3, the shafts are coupled by a universal joint 14, the material of the blades is carried by frames 11 pivotally mounted on the arms 9 fixed to the shafts, and links 12 cause the the frames to rotate on the arms as these approach one another. Fig. 5 shows a further modification, in which the arms 9 carrying the flexible material 10 are fixed to three pairs of short spindles 16 disposed at the points of two three-pointed starshaped frames 18, which are set at an angle to one another and are mounted on inclined shafts connected by a universal joint. When used as water propellers, the arms 9 are maintained in a vertical position by the chain gear 17, so that the blades enter the water without splashing. Four-pointed star-shaped frames 18 may be substituted. In a further modification, Fig. 6, the arms 9 are attached to two endless chains 23, each passing over two chain-wheels 24 disposed at an angle to the two corresponding chain-wheels with which the other chain engages. Fig. 10 shows an application of aerial propellers of the form shown in Fig. 8 to a high-speed boat, the air from the propellers being swept under au awning 43. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also rotary propellers of another type in which the blades are feathered by eccentrically-mounted levers. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 1624/79 and 807/81.
Patent GB-190930383-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Lighting and Extinguishing a System of Gaslamps at Prearranged Times from a Given "Station."
Inventor: BRAZIER JOSEPH
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1909-12-29
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 30,383. Brazier, J., and Watson, H. Dec. 29. Actuating valves.-Relates to apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas lamps actuated by temporary increases of pressure in the main, of the type in which the rise of a diaphragm. actuates a valve through ratchet gear, a smaller increase of pressure being used for extinguishing than for lighting. A casing 1 in the path of the gas contains a weighted diaphragm 10, to which is connected through a link 9, the swinging arm 27, Fig. 3, pivoted at 37<a>, and carrying a ratchet 8 engaging a ratchet-wheel on the valve 5. The construction of the valve is shown in Figs. 7, 8, and 9. In the wall of the casing are made recesses 15, 16, 17 separated by walls 18. The gas supply leads from the diaphragm chamber into a recess 15, and passages 20, 21 lead from recesses 16, 17 to the burner and pilot respectively. Screwed over these recesses is a plate 19, Fig. 8, having holes 22 opening to recesses 15, 16, and holes 25 opening into the recess 17. The valve-plate 5, Fig. 9, is rotated on the plate 19 by means of the ratchet gearing, and is provided on the face adjacent to the plate 19 with a central recess 23 having horns corresponding with the holes 22, and peripheral recesses 24 between these horns. When the horns of the central recess are over the holes 22, gas can pass from the recess 15 to the recess 16 and supply the burner, and when the horns are not over the holes 22, one of the recesses 24 covers the holes 25 and the hole 22 between them so that gas passes to the pilot. On a temporary increase of pressure for lighting, the arm 27 oversets a weighted wheel 30 and rises, carrying the valve round until it is set for lighting, the shape of the arm preventing overturning of the valve. As the pressure falls, the arm 27 falls past the trip-piece 29 on the wheel 30, and the ratchet 8 engages the next tooth of the valve. A smaller increase of pressure raises the arm 27 sufficiently to turn the gas off, the wheel 30 preventing a full rise of the arm.

Abstract: 802. Hodgson, Ltd., G., Hodgson, G. H., and Nichols, D. Jan. 12. Change-box motions.-The box-operating rod b slides loosely within a bracket f carrying the shuttle boxes c, but is normally rigidly connected thereto by the engagement of a spring- actuated sliding bolt g on the bracket f in an opening in a block d, which is screwed to the rod b. A lever k pivoted on the bracket f embraces a pin m extending from the bolt g, and is connected by a pin 4, jointing-piece p<1>, and a rod p to a pedal or foot-lever r, operation of which first causes the bolt g to be withdrawn to free the shuttle boxes from their operating- mechanism, while upon further movement of the foot-lever the upper part 7 of the rod p engages the bracket f and raises the shuttle boxes to any desired position. By removing the connecting-pin 4, the parts c, f, k may be withdrawn entirely to effect repairs &c. If the bolt g should extend beyond the force of the bracket f when this bracket descends, the bolt is engaged and forced inwards by an inclined part d<1> of the block d, and subsequently springs into the opening therein. The rod p may be simply pivoted to the foot-lever, so that this lever moves at all times with the shuttle boxes, or the rod p may be slotted so that it may be moved without actuating the foot-lever.
