Patent GB-190607349-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Nests for use on Poultry Farms.
Inventor: BURRELL JAMES FREDERICK
Filed: 1906-03-27
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 7349. Burrell, J. F., Smith, T., and Smith, J. T. March 27. Nests; traps.-A trap nest having two doorways c, d, both of which are opened and closed by the hen, is divided into three compartments T, B, N. The nest is in the compartment B, and, the trap being in the set position, the hen enters by the door c and passes over and depresses the treadplate I. This draws down a lever H attached to a flexible cover F which closes the entrance. Simultaneously, the cover G, which passes over rollers L, M, is drawn up against a weight K to open the exit through the passage N. The latter is not visible to the hen until it leaves the nest, as the partition P extends nearly to the top only leaving space for a little light to enter. As the hen passes out into a separate run, the lever H is again tilted by the treadle J, the exit being closed and the 'entrance reopened. Balls S may be placed on rods or in slots on the lever H to assist its movement, and the treadle J may be weighted. The flexible covers may be replaced by sliding doors, and the weight K may move in guides instead of being fixed to a lever ; inspection doors E are provided.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Friction Clutches.
Inventor: ANDREWS EDWIN EADS
Filed: 1906-04-17
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 9119. Andrews, E. E. April 24, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Clutches.-Relates to friction clutches in which split rings are expanded by means of levers, the grip of the rings automatically tightening with the increase of load. The driving-pulley 3 is secured to a drum 1, in which rests a loose two-part ring 5 divided by a pin 6, a lever 10 fitting between the ends of the ring and extending into a recess 9 in the driven part 8 which is keyed to the shaft 2. A longitudinally-sliding sleeve 12 carries projections 14 adapted to bear on either side of the lever 10, the longitudinal movement of which is limited by a pin 11. The ring 5 is carried round by slight friction with the drum 1 until one point, say x, of the lever abuts against the wall of the recess 9. The s'eeve 12 is then advanced, turning the lever first about the recess wall to expand the ring and finally moving the lever clear of the wall, as shown in Fig. 8. Any increase of load tends further to rotate the lever 10 and to tighten the ring 5. The ring 5 may be surrounded by a loose band 15, Fig. 9, with inturned ends 16 to engage the parts of the ring. The ring 5 may be in two, three, or more parts with tapered ends 18, Fig. 10, between which bear balls 19 pressed forward by a light spring 20 to adjust for wear. The end of the lever 10, Fig. 12, may be rounded, as shown, and the part 8 may be provided with a projection 23 engaging a recess 22 in the ring.

Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 10,226. Haddan, H. J., [Post, C.L.]. May 1. Printing in several colours.-A simple platen press is converted into a two-colour press by mounting a second, inverted ink-disk B, Fig. 1, adjustably over the usual ink-disk A, and by providing adjustable tracks U', Fig. 9, at each side of the machine which cause some of the inking-rollers to run under the disk B and on certain parts of the forme, while further adjustable tracks U cause the remaining ink-rollers, which run as usual over the disk A, to run over the remaining parts of the forme. The ink-disk B is rotatably mounted, through a swivel joint l on the outer part i<1> of a hinged arm i, so that it may be swung back at the joint out of the way. The part i<1> is normally supported by a plate m on an extension of the part i, which has a cylindrical end adjustably clamped by the socket H of a fixed bracket F. The disk B is actuated simultaneously with the disk A by a ratchet rod O, a bell-crank lever N, a pin R adjustably clamped in a slot in the lever N, and a piece P, rigidly attached to the ordinary bellcrank D for actuating the disk A, and having a slot q which engages with the bolt R. The tracks U, U<1> are formed by bolting notched bars on each side of the usual tracks X, and by putting squareheaded bolts W into the holes thus formed, at suitable intervals according to which colour is to be applied to the forme at that part, springs being provided at the side of the holes to keep the bolts in place. Some of the inking-rollers have short rollers on their ends, engaging with the tracks U, and these inking - rollers also run over the usual ink-disk. The other inking - rollers have short rollers engaging with the tracks U<1>, which are continued past the ink-disks, and thus cause these rollers to run against the lower ink-disk.

Patent GB-190708367-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Transmission Gear particularly applicable to Self-propelled Vehicles.
Filed: 1907-04-10
Granted: 1908-04-10
Abstract: 8367. Siemens Bros. &. Co., and Turner, F. April 10. Dynamos and motors combined for transmiting power ; field magnets.-Relates to electric power transmission systems, particularly applicable to self-propelled vehicles, of the kind in which a prime-mover drives one element of a differential gear, the other two elements being connected respectively to a dynamo and to a motor on the driven shaft, and comprises a method of winding the generator field coils, and the provision of a clutch for reversing purposes. The Figure shows the mechanism in elevation. The engine shaft a carries the outer member b of the differential gear, the middle member c being keyed to the driven shaft d, while the second outer member e is keyed to the sleeve f. The shaft d carries an electromotor i, and the sleeve f a dynamo g. The generator field has a shunt winding which is adjustable through a resistance h, and has also a reverse winding in series with the series-wound motor i. The reverse series winding is proportioned so that the torque of the generator armature remains the same for various speeds of the motor i, with which it is connected through a switch k. The vehicle is started by closing the shunt field circuit of the generator and the switch k, thereby causing a torqe e in the generator, and consequently a torque on the shaft d. As the speed of the vehicle increases, that of the generator decreases, and with it the torque exerted by the motor. When the speed of the vehicle decreases, owing to increased resistance, a greater torqe is exerted on the shaft d owing to the increased speed of the generator. When the normal speed of the vehicle is to be adjusted, more or less of the resistance coil h is thrown into the shunt field circuit. The vehicle is reversed by disconnecting the clutch on the shaft d and by operating a reversing-switch, the drive in this case being wholly electrical. Braking may be effected by opening the shunt field of the dynamo and inserting a resistance l in the motor circuit, the motor acting as generator. A brake m is provided on the sleeve f, so that in case of breakdown of the electric apparatus the brake may be applied and the vehicle driven through the differential gear by the engine alone.

Patent GB-190716364-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Multiple Fuse Blocks.
Inventor: MAYO WILLIAM CORNELIUS
Filed: 1907-07-16
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 16,364. Mayo, W. C., and Houlehan, J. July 16. Cut-outs; switches.-Relates to multiple fuse blocks or cut-outs in which a blown fuse is automatically replaced by electro-magnetic apparatus in a shunt circuit, and consists in an arrangement by which the electro-magnetic mechanism first stores energy in a spring by which the fuse-block is then actuated. In case of a continued heavy overload, a red lamp is lit up, and the mechanism held inoperative. Derangement of the apparatus is indicated by the steady glow of a clear lamp, and its normal working by a blinking glow of the same. The fuses are inserted between spring terminals 11, 14 on a detachable annulus 4 which is secured to a disk 3. Brushes 17, 18 make contact with one pair of terminals, and, through the fuse wire, close a gap in the main 20. A shunt circuit around this gap includes three electromagnets 22, 24, 26. In the case of a momentary overload blowing the fuse, this circuit is cut in. The armature 29 is then attracted, completing the circuit of a clear lamp 44, the contact 35, 36 being maintained by the spring of the arm 37. The magnets 24, 26 are also energized, so that the hanging armature 55 is attracted to one of them. By means of a stud 59 and a bracket 57 carrying set - screws 58 which coact with contact - pieces 61, 63, 65, 67 and contact-arms 73, 77, this magnet is thereupon short-circuited, and the armature is set free to be attracted to the other, which is then short-circuited in turn. The armature therefore continues to oscillate, and drives a ratchet-wheel 80 through pawls 81, 86, the latter of which is mounted on a pivoted arm 84 connected to the armature by a link 85. This operation, the course of which is made apparent by the blinking of the lamp 44, cuts in a new fuse, as described below. If the apparatus fails to act, the lamp 44 glows steadily. A heavy and continued overload causes the armature 29 to be attracted far enough to push the contact 35 away from the contact 36, and to complete the circuit of a red lamp 47 at the points 38, 40. In this position, a projection 88 pushes the pawl 86 out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel 80, and, as the motion of the latter takes place against the tension of a spring, it cannot be rotated by the pawl 81 alone. The fuse-feeding arrangements comprise a spur-wheel 96 on the spindle of the ratchet 80 which gears with a wheel 97, Fig. 4, the latter being connected by a spring 100 to a ratchet-wheel 98 secured to the fuse disk. The changing-mechanism first tensions the spring 100 so that the ratchet 98 is moved suddenly by one tooth when it is released by an escapement 109, which is controlled by a series of pins 110 on the wheel 97, and acts only on the release of the arm 104 by the pin. This action snaps in a fresh fuse.
