Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Air Compressors.
Inventor: WATSON JOHN DE LANNOY
Filed: 1906-01-24
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 1843. Watson, J. de L. Jan. 24. Fans.-Multi-stage centrifugal fans are arranged with an air intake at one side only of each fan, the other side being occupied by a disk extending from the hub to the periphery of the fan. A lip or flange is attached to each fan on the intake side and extends through or towards the central opening in the casing. Each fan comprises a number of vanes d, Figs. 1 and 2, situated between rings b, c. The fans are supported by arms g which are integral with or attached to disks f formed on the hubs e. Each ring b is provided on its inner periphery with a lip or flange h, which may, if desired, project through the openiug in the casing. In some cases the diameter of the diskf may be such as to render the use of the ring c unnecessary. The casing comprises a number of similar sections secured together. Walls k, with openings i, are grooved to receive sheet-metal drums l, the whole being secured together by bolts m and nuts n. Each chamber is provided with an outlet p suitably controlled. In Fig. 1, the last outlet only is open, so that air is compressed in three stages. The end wall is similar to the others, but a flange t is secured to the disk f of the last fan. It is stated that the open end wall prevents end thrust. A number of tangential or other vanes r may be fixed in the chambers to assist in directing the flow towards the intake openings i, and vanes s may be fixed in the vicinity of the outlets p for a similar purpose. Any suitable number of fans may be mounted on the same shaft.

Title: Improvements in Door Springs.
Inventor: ADAMS FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-01-27
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 2115. Adams, F. W. Jan. 27. Door-closing apparatus; door checks.-In a door spring, the cylindrical casing a, Figs. 4 and 6, projects above the floor into the recess formed in the door, the spindle b having a fluted end c which engages with a corresponding recessed boss a of the shoe d<1>. The helical spring i has its two upper ends attached to the disk g<1> of the sleeve g, the lower ends of the spring being attached to the lower end of the sleeve h. When the door moves the spindle b in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 6, the lugs f<1>, f<2> of its disk bear against lugs h<2>, h<3> of the sleeve h and wind up the spring, diametrically-arranged stops e<1> of the cap e attached to the casing a engaging with the lugs g<1>, g<3> of the upper sleeve g to hold it stationary. When the door is opened in the opposite direction, the spring is wound up through the movement of the upper sleeve g, the lugs of both sleeves being bevelled to allow a large angle of movement. The friction between the shoe d<1> and the top of the casing a is sufficient to check the free swing of the door. In a modification, the door spring is fitted to the hanging stile of a door. The check consists of two semicircular blocks l, Fig. 9, which are pressed against the inner periphery of a recess of the bracket j fixed to the door frame by means of springs m. The casing has pins n which project from the top of the casing into holes o of the blocks l.
Patent GB-190619475-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Change Speed Gear.
Inventor: BADOIS LOUIS
Filed: 1906-08-31
Granted: 1907-08-31
Abstract: 19,475. Badois, L. Aug. 31. Driving - mechanism.- Relates to an automatic speed-regulating device of the type described in Specification No. 17,961, A.D. 1906, and consists in the adaptation of such a device to a variable gear in which a single-gear element is employed on the driving-shaft. In a twospeed form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, an internally-toothed ring 4 is the driving-element. Planetpinions 8 are mounted on pins 7 upon the driven hub 5. The sun-wheel 9 is secured to a sleeve 10 and to a double clutch member 11, which, when the gearing becomes operative for the low speed, is kept from rotating backwards by a pawl 12 engaging a fixed ratchet 13. On the speed increasing, the centrifugal device comes into play which through the agency of a rod 21 brings into action a second ratchet clutch effecting connexion between the member 11 and a member 18 upon the hub, so that the gear rotates solid. This outer clutch may consist of a rotatable cage 20 controlling friction rollers. Free-wheeling is possible on both speeds. In a three-speed form employing three sun-wheels and triple planet-pinions, the two higher speeds are effected by the automatic releasing in succession of two separate ratchet clutches by the arrangement shown in Fig. 9. The centrifugal mass 34 is normally thrust inwards against a ring 33 supported by the wheel rim 30 by two springs 35, 37 arranged end to end. The spring 35 is the weaker and yields to effect the first speed change. The spring 37 yields to effect the second change.
Patent GB-190619738-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Atmospheric Burner for Gas Cooking-stoves.
Inventor: DUCKETT JOHN BUSH
Filed: 1906-09-05
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 19,738. Duckett, J. B. Sept. 5. Gas burners.-To vary the number of burning gas jets in an atmospheric burner for gas stoves, a sheath or sleeve closed at one end is mounted on the perforated burner tube. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the sleeve E may be moved longitudinally along the burner A so as to cover a greater or less number of gas jet holes D. Or the sleeve is fixed and the burner is movable, and suitable stops may be provided to limit the travel of the movable part. In another arrangement, Fig. 4, the sleeve E also is provided with gas jet holes E<2> and may be moved along the burner by a rod G. The movement may be limited by a projection on the burner, or by the guide formed on it for the rod G, and the handle of the rod G formed outside the stove wall B. Or the burner may slide into the sleeve, the latter being fixed; in this case, the movement of the burner is limited by the engagement of stops formed on it with the stove wall B. The inward movement of the parts may be limited by the contact of the end of the burner with the end of the sheath, in which case the burner. end may be made as shown to allow a free passage for the gas. Preferably, when at the limit of the inward movement, the pair of gas jets is still outside .the sheath to ensure the combustion of any gas escaping the collar E<1>. Rotation of the burner, when the latter is circular in cross-section, may be prevented by forming a. feather on the burner which engages with a slot in the stove wall B. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that when the sheath is perforated, the end of the burner tube within the sheath may be perforated.

Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 25,671. Jarvis, D. J. Nov. 14. Tenoning etc.; tools.-In a machine for slotting out the ends of boards &c. for making corner-locking joints for boxes and cabinets &c., the boards 17 are fed by band one at time against a guide 25 along the face of a table 16 up to the upturned edges 35 of a series of stops, Fig. 4, and are cut by a series of cutters or saws, the cutter block preferably used being that described in Specification No. 2965, A.D. 1905, in which blades, and spacing- pieces alternate in grooves 7 in the block. In this form of cutter, to prevent movement of the blades in the grooves due, to centrifugal action, a rod 6<a> is run through them, or a plate fitting in the block is made tu engage notches in the blades. The table is adjusted vertically by a srew &c. to bring the centre of the board into alinement with the centre of the cutter shaft, the position being indicated by a pointer 24 and scale 23, Fig. 2, and the stops are adjusted from the table between the .blades.to.vary the depth.of.cut,-by a screw, or by attaching to a slotted plate 36. To aid the feed, and to guard the hands of the -operator, a spring- pressed roller 28 is used, and is mounted in blocks 31 in frames 32 so that it may be raised or lowered according to the thickness of the work by screws 33. The pressure of the springs 29 on the blocks 31 is varied by screws 34. The roller is also adjustable towards the cutter to suit it for different widths of boards. The guide or fence 25 may be laterally adjustable by slots and bolts 26, and is arranged in alinement with the outside face of the end blade, a slip 39 of thickness equal to the blade being interposed against the side of the fence so that a pin may be formed at the end of the board. The fence may form part of the table, and the cutter block may be adjusted laterally on its shaft by the provision of dual lock-nuts at each end. In order to stop the rotation of the cutter abruptly against centrifngal action after the driving-belt has been. moved on to the loose pulley, a brake on the fast pulley 4 is provided, consisting of a wood or other block 42 on a band- or foot-operated lever. The cutter block may have a guard 43.
