Patent GB-190711149-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Braiding Machines
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1907-05-13
Granted: 1908-05-13
Abstract: 11,149. Boult, A. J., [Attenborough, A.]. May 13. Braiding-machines.- The bobbins of braiding- machines for making lace fabrics are supported on the usual arc-shaped plates 25, 26, Fig. 4, and are guided by means of lower arc-shaped plates 30,31, against the guiding-edges of which special lower collars on the bobbin spindles bear. The bobbins are carried to the crossing-places a, where they remain until displaced by the pattern-controlled projectors 64. These are mounted with freedom of movement in a vertical plane, in pairs on the switches 33 which have an horizontal movement derived from reciprocating rings 44. The switches and the arresting-devices are arranged at the crossing-places alternately. These devices, shown in Fig. 8, comprise levers 56 mounted on standards 53 and having a limited movement about pivots 58. The front upper surfaces are grooved at 61 with circular recesses 62, Fig. 4, for receiving projecting lower stems of the bobbin spindles, and provided with pointed bevelled forward surfaces 63 over which the bobbin stems ride as the bobbins reach the stopping-places. When the projectors 64 are depressed by the jacquard wires, their rounded extremities 69 are brought into the plane of the upper collars of the bobbin spindles. The oscillating movement of the switches then causes the selected projectors carried thereby to engage the arrested bobbins and drive them out of their resting-places. The released bobbins are then received by the driving-wheels and transferred to other resting-places by paths determined by the position of the switches. The crossings pass over a guard-ring 140, and are taken to the braiding- point by sliding beaters and there laid on an endless travelling core from which the fabric is subsequently removed. The selvedges are united by a lacing thread which is carried up through the axis of one of the centre disks. -The beaters, as shown in Fig. 12, are arranged in two sets, sliding in a tricked dial; they are steadied by means of a slotted covering-plate 135, and are actuated by cams so as to beat up simultaneously at diametrically opposite points. Curved edge cams 137 mounted on the beater cam cap then engage the threads and allow them to clear the returning beaters.

Patent GB-190810320-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fire Extinguishers
Inventor: ZWICKY JEAN
Filed: 1908-05-12
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 10,320. Zwicky, J. May 12. Powder blowers.- Hand fire-extinguishers comprise a tube containing extinguishing - powder, and a reservoir of compressed air or other gas by means of which the powder can be blown in the form of a cloud upon a fire. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the tube b for containing the powderis screwed to a nozzle e at the end of the air reservoir a, through the centre of which passes a tube f. The powder rests upon a piston, which slides upon a central tube q and consists of a metal washer 3 and a rubber washer 4. In using the apparatus, a rubber valve h is opened by means of a stem g provided with a head k and with an external operating-handle m, and compressed air passes through holes p into the tube q, whence a part passes direct through a nozzle r to a nozzle y. Some of the air passes through openings 1, controlled by a rubber ring or spring valve 2, and exerts an upward pressure upon the washers 3, 4, while some passes through openings z into a cylinder s, thus depressing a spring- controlled piston t and the nozzle r, which is secured thereto. The powder is thus enabled to escape around the edges of a rubber pad x on the end of the nozzle r. Compressed air is forced into the reservoir a by means of a pump attached to the nozzle e before the receptacle b is screwed thereon. In the form shown in Fig. 3, a pump for replenishing the supply of compressed air is combined with the apparatus. The stem g of the valve h is normally screwed to the outer of two tubes 6, to which are secured an operating-handle 5 and a pump piston 7. In order to use the pump, the outer tube 6 is unscrewed from the stem g, and the tubes 6 and piston 7 are reciprocated. Air enters from the atmosphere through the inner tube 6 and a spring-pressed ball-valve 8, and is forced by the upward stroke of the piston past the lower seat of the rubber valve h and through the holes p into the reservoir a. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the washers 3, 4, Fig. 1, are replaced by a curved plate 11, which has a thin edge adapted to form a good joint with the casing and is secured to a tube 12 terminating in a piston 13. The main weight of the powder is borne by a disk 15 sliding upon the tube q, a spring 16 being interposed between this disk and the plate 11. When the valve h, k is opened, the compressed air tends to force up the piston 13 and plate 11 and also passes through a perforation 14 to the nozzle r. Some of the air passes through openings z to the underside of a fixed piston 18 and depresses a metal cylinder 17 against the action of a spring v, thus allowing the powder to escape around the edge of the cylinder. The valve stem g is made hollow, and is provided with a nozzle 21 for the attachment of a bicycle pump, the handle 5 screwing on to the end of the nozzle.

Patent GB-190900085-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Gear Changing Mechanism for Automobiles.
Inventor: EVELAND SAMUEL
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1909-01-01
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 85. Eveland, S. Jan. 1. Levers and rods, locking.-The operating-rods for the variable speed gear on a motor road vehicle are actuated, one at a time by electromagnetic relay devices controlled preferably by push-buttons on the steering hand-wheel, and are shifted to neutral position by a device operated by the depression of the clutch pedal or the application of the brake; the electric circuit can only be closed when the clutch pedal is depressed. The speed-gear shifters are connected to operating-rods 16, 17 shown in the sectional elevation and plan views, Figs. 4, 5, and 7. When the clutch pedal is depressed to disconnect the clutch, or when the brakes are applied, the operating-members 16, 17 are first both brought into their neutral or central positions, and are then freed so that either may be shifted into its operative position by the electromagnetic devices. This is effected by raising a yoke 24 guided vertically by rods 25 and having inclined cam - surfaces 26, which engage rollers 27 on the rods 16, 17. The yoke is lifted by an arm 34 connected to the clutch pedal and brake lever, and having pivoted to its end a trigger 35 capable of turning up but not down. The trigger engages the underside of the central part of the yoke, and passes clear when raised, so that the yoke drops, leaving the rods 16, 17 in their neutral positions but free to be operated. When the arm 34 is again lowered, the trigger turns back and passes below the central part of the yoke. The operating-rods 16, 17 are interlocked with one another, so that only one can be moved from the central position, by means of a pair of bolts, with a spring between them, which engage notches 31 in the rods, the combined lengths of the bolts, when their inner ends are in contact, being such that only one rod can be moved, the other remaining locked. In a modification, the whole of the movements are perfomed electrically, including the locking and the return of the operating - members 16, 17 to the central position, the cam-yoke 24 being dispensed with.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Making Lace and other Fabrics.
Inventor: HICKTON CHARLES
IPC: D04C5/26
Filed: 1909-02-09
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 3145. Hickton, C. Feb. 9. Lace machines. - Electrically-controlled time and output recording-apparatus for use in connexion with lace and other textile machinery, and designed to render undetected tampering difficult, comprises a central recording-instrument and a number of measuring-devices in circuit therewith, operated by the several machines. The ratchets b, i, r of the measuring-device are driven respectively by a pawl c and pins h, t on the wheels b, i. The pawl lever d is driven by a convenient part of the lace machine and the pawl c passes through the casing a, the aperture being guarded by a shield f. The wheel r indicates the number of racks made, and can be re-set to zero. Each revolution of the wheel i records one rack by an insulated pin 2 acting on a tumbler 3 and completing for an instant an electric circuit at switches 5 and u. To record the running time, a switch is mounted on the belt lever or other suitable part so that a circuit is closed while the machine is running. In the central recording-instrument, a chart is slowly passed to a clock-work drum under a number of hammers 42, 43 indicating the running time and the output respectively of each machine. The hammers 42 are attached to pivoted armatures 46 so as to be depressed by the action of magnets 44, while the hammers 43 are pivoted at 48 and attached to the armatures at 49, and are acted on by magnets 45. The hammers stamp an ink ribbon mounted obliquely and moved at intervals by a ratchet train connected to the door of the instrument. The passage of current from the source of supply is controlled by a clock which momentarily closes the circuits corresponding to the machines actually running. The hammers 42 are accordingly depressed at frequent intervals, the running times being thus indicated on the chart by continuous lines. As each machine completes one rack, the corresponding pin 2 completes the circuit of the hammers 43 and causes a record to be placed on the chart.
Patent GB-190904680-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Signalling on Railways, and Controlling Trains Independently of Drivers.
Inventor: SAUNDERS LEWIS ERNEST
IPC: B61L3/02
Filed: 1908-01-02
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 4680. Saunders, L. E., Davis, H. L., and Griffiths, W. Jan. 2, 1908. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and stopping trains. - Engines p r o v i d e d with the signalling - apparatus d e s c r i b e d in Specifications 12,008/07 and 98/08, are automatically checked or stopped on leaving a ramp at which a warning signal is indicated to the driver. The mechanically operated disclosing-shutter b carries a bracket a on which is pivoted a catch c having teeth d, e, normally held outwards by a spring f. The catch c is controlled by electro-magnets g, h so arranged in the engine circuit that one or the other is energized to attract the catch c whenever current is passing through the engine circuits from a ramp, that is, whenever the engine is receiving a ' line clear' signal. Opposite the catch is placed a lever i which actuates by means of a port k, a valve in the brake controlling system. Downward movement of the lever is limited by a sealed stop m, and both the lever and the catch are enclosed in a sealed box. When the engine arrives at a distant-signal ramp, the shutter b is lowered to a sufficient extent to place only the tooth e under the lever i, and if the engine passes off the ramp while no current is passing and a danger' signal is consequently being received, the raising of the shutter causes the tooth e to catch and turn the lever i to open partly the port k to a channel n, Fig. 1<a>, so as to cause the brake to be partly applied. Should a home signal be passed at 'danger,' the second tooth d, which in this case is drawn below the lever i by the shutter, turns the lever to open the port k fully to the channel n thereby putting the brakes on hard. If the signals passed are at ' line clear' the magnets g, h hold the catch c clear of the lever. The lever i, once actuated by the catch d, can only be replaced by removal of the sealed pin m. The shutter b also carries a spring catch p, which, on every downward movement of the shutter, actuates the lever of a bell or whistle q, which continues to sound until the driver returns it. Instead of controlling the brake valve, the catch c may be arranged to shut off steam, in which case a pneumatic cylinder operated by a similar air valve is preferably emp!oyed, and the piston is interlocked with the regulator handle so that the regulator shall close when the valve is operated and cannot be opened until the valve is replaced.

Abstract: 5247. Smith, G. H., Bell, F. J. T., and Rowland, F. March 4 S e w i n g - machines; l o c k - s t i t c h i n g b y shuttles. - Relates to two - reel sewing - machines and consists in an improved construction and arrangement of the reel casing A, which is formed of two truncated cones placed base to base, the bases forming a flange A<1>, which runs in a race F, which is so positioned that the axis of the case is slightly inclined downwards from the undershaft G. Two pins H, H<1> are provided on a disk J at the end of this shaft, and these pins enter holes K, K<1> in the case to drive it as required, the inclination of the case axis being sufficient to cause the complete withdrawal of the upper of the two pins when they are in the same vertical plane. At one part the case is cut away to form a bight B and a hook C, but the hook itself may be a separate member attached to the case. The head of the outer cone is opened to allow for the insertion of the spool L and its holder M, which has a projection M<2>, which fits loosely into a groove provided in a pivoted gate which is closed on the spool after the latter is inserted. The spool is mounted on a sleeve M<1> of the carrier, which fits on the axial pin N of the case. The engagement between the projection M<2> and the gate groove is sufficiently loose to allow the passage of the needle - thread, which is carried round by the hook to interlock the lower thread, which is led from the spool through an eye provided at the upper end of the projection M<2>, while the race F is cut away at the top to allow the hook to engage the needle loop freely.
