Patent GB-190708554-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Single Trigger Guns.
Inventor: HOLLAND HENRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-04-12
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 8554. Holland, H. W., and Woodward, T. April 12. Single-trigger double-barrelled guns.-A slide, catch, or the like for temporarily engaging the trigger after one barrel has been fired, and thus preventing the release of the sear of the second barrel by the involuntary pull, is pushed forward into the active position by a rod fixed to a diaphragm at the end of a pneumatic cylinder containing a heavy loosely-fitting piston. During the recoil produced by the first barrel, the piston moves forward and compresses the air in the cylinder, thus forcing the diaphragm outwardly and' causing the attached rod to press against the trigger-retaining slide or catch. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the trigger a has two sear-releasing shoulders a<1>, a<2> at different heights, and the trigger is prevented from rising sufficiently high to discharge the second barrel by the involuntary pull by means of the pivoted catch c engaging the pin a<3> on the trigger when the catch is pushed forward by the rod f fixed to the diaphragm g, which is pushed out by the air compressed in the cylinder h by the piston moving forward during the recoil produced by the discharge of the first barrel. The gun is set at safe by pushing back the slide l over the swelling shown on the pivoted lever e, which, when the gun is opened, acts upon the hook c to draw it forward into engagement with the pin a<3>.

Title: Improvements in Carburettors for Explosion Engines.
Filed: 1907-08-27
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 19,268. Daimler Motoren-Ges. June 17, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Carburettors of the type described in Specification No. 1696, A.D. 1907, in which the passages for the main air, additional air, and explosive mixture to the engine are simultaneously controlled by the governor acting upon a hollow piston valve moving axially are modified by fitting this piston inside a perforated rotatable sleeve, so that the auxiliary air can be regulated independently of the governor. The piston d, Fig. 1, moves in the sleeve r which can be rotated by the handle s, The perforations h, Fig. 2, in the sleeve are much longer than those at g in the piston d, while the perforations i, k which admit supplementary air are of equal length. Thus the additional air supply may be controlled by hand without affecting the control, by the governor, of the explosive mixture to the engine.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Subjecting Gases to the Action of Liquids.
Inventor: PEAT JAMES BARCLAY
Filed: 1907-10-22
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 23,330. Peat, J. B., and Benin, H. Oct. 22. Scrubbers and washers.-In a centrifugal apparatus for washing gases, the gases pass through compartments each containing a rotating wheel, each wheel providing contracted spaces and wider spaces in zigzag paths so as to cause changes both in velocity and direction, the surfaces over which the gases pass being maintained in a wet condition ; the same principle is employed in the last compartment to remove the suspended moisture, the wet surfaces being dispensed with and a fan provided. In the form shown, a casing 1 is divided into compartments 12, 13, 14 by plates 4, 5 having openings 6, 7 at their centres. A rotating shaft 15 carries bosses 26, 21, 35 each having annular plates secured thereto, and carrying horizontal rings for providing the alternate contracted and wider zigzag paths for the gas. Water is delivered at inlets 10, and is thrown by centrifugal force from one horizontal ring to the next, finally escaping by water-sealed pipes leading from the bottom of the casing. Gas enters the apparatus by an inlet 8, passes over the annular plate 23, inwards between the plates 23, 25, and their horizontal rings 27, 28, through holes 29 in the boss 26, and through the space 6 and the holes 22 in the boss 21 ; and similarly outwards and then inwards between the plates 17, 18 and their horizontal rings, finally reaching the third compartment 14. No water is supplied to the compartment 14 which serves to dry the gas. The wheel in this compartment comprises side plates 32, with outwardly curved edges, and rings 34 preferably sloping inwards. Beyond these rings, fan blades 38, Fig. 5, are provided for drawing the gas through the apparatus. Separated water escapes from the rings 34 by openings 37, and flows by side channels 30 to water-sealed outlets. Gas passes away from the apparatus by an outlet 9. The edge of the disk 23 is turned over, and may have holes so as to provide revolving sheets of spray through which the gases pass. At the inner side of the horizontal rings, small rings may be provided for water to carry away impurities accumulating in these parts. Any number of compartments similar to 13 may be provided, and any of these may be used for drying the gas by shutting-off the supply of water thereto.

Title: Improvements in Thermic Controllers.
Inventor: RICHARDSON EARL HOLMES
Filed: 1908-07-21
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 15,497. Richardson, E. H. July 21. Switches; cutouts; couplings.- Relates to a thermally - operated fusible device for thermostats, electric cut-outs, &c. Fig. 1 shows the application of the device to the electric heating - apparatus of a laundry iron in order to cut off the current when the temperature becomes too high. A receptacle 21, projecting rearwards from a wedge-shaped head 22, contains a fusible material 25, such as lead, and is closed at the rear end by a plug 24, through which passes a shaft 26 shouldered at 26<a> and carrying a pair of blades 27, Figs. 1 and 5. On the rear end of the shaft 26 is fixed a ratchet 28, normally engaged by a pawl 15, Figs. 1 and 4, provided with notches 19 engaging a slot in a flat spring 12. When the lead 25 melts or softens, the spring 12 rotates the shaft 26 through the medium of the pawl 15 and ratchet 28, the pawl being thus released from the ratchet ; a switch plug 9 is thus forced upwards, thereby withdrawing clips 10 from terminal-blades 7 connected to the binding posts 6, and thus breaking the circuit. When the lead has hardened, the device can be reset by depressing push-buttons 30 mounted on the spring 12. Fig. 8 shows the thermal device employed as a circuit-breaker or fuse operating upon the occurrence of an excess current. The fusible material 25 forms part of the circuit between the wires 44, 45, the plug 43 being non-conducting. An excess current fuses the material 25, allowing the shaft 26 and ratchet 28 to rotate under the influence of a spring 46 acting upon a switch-lever 41 and a pawl 40, the lever 41 being thus withdrawn from clips 42 to break the circuit.

Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 24,361. Haddan, H. J., [Oxford Linen Mills]. Nov. 12.. Rippling - apparatus ; breaking and scutching-apparatus ; openers; carding-engines.-Flax, hemp and like plants are continuously fed in batches through a deseeding device, and each batch is automatically transferred to breaking - rolh, to shredding - apparatus resembling a shake willey, and finally to toothed cylinders which remove the shives, the fibrous parts of the plants being doffed by an 'oscillating comb. The stalks are placed between the spacing-pieces 31 on a travelling apron and are nipped by the weighted band 22 and fed between a pair of rotary brush rolls 9 which remove the seeds. From the apron they are fed to a series of fluted breaking-rolls by travelling belts 32, 33, Fig. 1, the upper one of which is orcillated about a pivot 39 by cams 47 so arranged that the upper belt descends and grips a batch of stalks while they are within the bite of the belts, and ascends when a spacing-piece 31 is passing. Successive pairs of rolls are staggered as shown and are provided with roughened or grooved flutes of increasing fineness, and either or all of the top rolls are reciprocated longitudinally to impart a rubbing effect to the stalks. The shredding-apparatus comprises a toothed cylinder 90 which cooperates with a fixed comb 93 and rotary combs 94, 95. The shives fall through a grating 101 and are removed by an exhaust fan. The material being fed in batches, an oscillating door 103 is arranged so that, just prior to the delivery of a batch to the toothed cylinder, the batch under treatment is discharged on to a travelling belt 110 and fed to a series of toothed cylinders provided with teeth which are arranged in rows of successively decreasing pitch. This arrangement of cylinders consists of separate elements comprising a cylinder such as 160, a scraper roll 161, which rotates faster than the cylinder, and a transfer roll 162, which feeds the fibre to the succeeding element. The feed-rolls 154, 155 have their teeth hooked or inclined backwardly in a direction opposite to the direction of travel when in coaction so as to be self-stripping. The fibre is finally removed by an oscillating comb 167.
