Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 369. Hodgson, J. L. Jan. 7. Sluice gates.- Penstock doors are locked in any posit i o n by slightly rotating the door, or a cross-piece connected to the door, in order to cause spiral wedges on the door or cross-piece to jam against corresponding bevel guides on the door frame. The penstock door D, Fig. 1, is raised and lowered by means of a long handle H, and is locked in any position by means of spiral wedges B at opposite sides of a diameter of the door D. These wedges move in corresponding guides G, Fig. 2, and the rate of increase in length of a diameter of the door along the arcs of the wedges is such that, on slightly rotating the door by means of the handle H, the wedges are jammed tightly against the guides G, thus locking the door and at the same time forcing it against its seat. In cases where it is not desirable to rotate the door, such as when it is rectangular, the spiral wedges may be carried by a cross-piece fixed to the handle H and attached to the door by a pin. The weight of the door may be taken by a balance weight.

Patent GB-190811690-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Combined Clock and Talking-machine for Advertising and like purposes.
Inventor: WOLFF ROBERT MAX
Filed: 1908-05-29
Granted: 1909-06-01
Abstract: 11,690. Wolff, R. M., and Pahle, J. May 29. Clocks combined with phonographs and advertising-apparatus.-A clock allows a talking- machine to sound at different intervals, for advertising purposes &c. A pivoted spring-controlled lever 9 bears a projection 15, which prevents the rotation of the main spindle 19 of the driving-train of the talking-machine by engaging in a hole 20 in a cam 18 fixed to the spindle. When a pin 7 on a disk carried by the arbor of the minutehand of the clock bears against a tooth 12 at one end of a second pivoted spring - controlled lever 10, the other end 13 pushes aside the lever 9, thereby freeing the spindle 19. The talking- machine train is still checked, however, by the bent end 13 of the lever 10 obstructing a pin 22 on the regulating-spindle 21, until the pin 7 passes the tooth 12, when the lever 10 is pulled back again by its spring. The immediate return of the lever 9 is prevented by a sliding piece 24, which, as soon as the projection 15 is withdrawn from the hole 20, covers the hole but after the spindle 19 has made a revolution, the projection 15 pushes the slider 24 aside, and reenters the hole 20. The rotation of the cam 18 allows a pivoted bar 31 and rod 33 to fall, moving a hinged flap 34 on which rests an arm 37 fixed to the horn 36 of the taking-machine. The reproducer 40 is thereby permitted to come into contact with the record, owing to the pull of a spring 38 on the horn, which is pivoted on a rod 44 in such a manner that motion in the direction of the length of the record may also take place. As the cylinder is rotated by a driving-cord 28, the impression on the record shifts the reproducer and the horn longitudinally until, simultaneously with the stopping of the driving-spindle 19, the cam 18 lifts the bar 31, whereupon the flap 34 raises the reproducer out of contact with the record, and with the horn it is returned to its initial position by the spring 38.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Furnace Fronts.
Inventor: STRATTON JAMES MACDONALD
Filed: 1908-06-17
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 12,985. Stratton, J. M. June 17. Fronts; air, supplying.-A furnace front, adapted to supply air under pressure a r o u n d the fire-door opening and to the a hpit, comprises principally an outer disk plate, which forms the outer wall of a hollow air casing and supports the fire and ash - pit dcors, a plate or casing e, Figs. 3 and 5, attached to the outer disk plate and to an angle - iron f secured to the packing-ring f<1>, and a dead-plate c to the top of which is secured the plate e. The plate e is provided with openings e<2> leading to the baffle box d<9> arranged above the fire-door and baffle boxes d<8> at the sides of the fire-door. The supply of air through the openings e<2> and to the baffle boxes is controlled by valves e<3> operated by fingers e<4>. Air from the baffle box d<9> also passes through an opening d<10> to the baffle box d<5> secured to the fire-door. In order to admit air under pressure to the ash-pit, a portion of the dead-plate is cut away at C<4> to provide a passage for the air, the supply of which to the ash-pit is controlled by valves e<*4> which are operated by crank handles. In the modification shown in Figs. 8 and 10, the angleiron f is replaced by a vertically-disposed inner plate f, which extends across the end of the fire tube b down to the dead-plate c, the centre of the plate being cut away around the fire-door opening. The plate is formed in three parts f, f<*>, f<**>, the part f being bent outwards and fixed to the outer disk plate, and the part f<**> being fixed to the dead-plate. Instead of the plate e being curved to the are of the outer disk plate, it is flattened at the top and sides. Only one set of openings e<2> controlled by a valve e<3> is employed, the central opening e<2> admitting air through openings d<10>, e<12> to the baffle boxes d<5>, d<9> respectively, and the side openings e<@> admitting air through openings d<10>, f<*1* >to the baffle box d<5> and side baffle boxes d<8> respectively. The arrangement of the valves e<*4> admitting air to the ash-pit is also slightly modified. According to another modification, shown in Fig. 13, the plate f is formed in one piece and bolted at its front end to the outer disk plate. The notches in the dead-plate are of curved formation and the valves e<*4> are correspondingly formed. The inner walls of the baffle boxes are curved. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 14, the plate e, Figs. 3 and 8, is replaced by a cast-iron chamber e extending across the furnace and divided into three compartments, the central compartment supplying air to the baffle box d9 while the side compartments supply air to the side baffle boxes d'. The inner plate f is cut away and flanged to receive the chamber e.

Abstract: 14,494. Bogaard, J. U. den. July. 8. Fastenings, railway-carriage door; latches.-In a latch particularly suitable for railway-car doors, shop doors, &c., the bolt 2 is held in the withdrawn position by a toggle-lever 11 which is carried below the horizontal, when the bolt is withdrawn, by the weight 12. The toggle is released when the door is slammed, by means of the end 5 of a lever 3 pivoted to the bolt, which end is raised by means of a vertically-moving bolt 7 operated by a pin 9 on the striking-plate. The other end of the lever 3 has a projection 4 which engages the arm 14 of a bell-crank mounted in the casing and operable by handles, either directly or through the medium of a vertical slide 16 engaging the other arm 13. When the door is shut, the bolt 7 falls behind the piu 9, the nose 8 of the bolt being movable in one direction on the stem, to allow the door to be opened without raising the bolt 7. The ends of the arm 14 of the bell-crank and of the projection 4 are bevelled, so that, should the handle be pressed as if to withdraw the bolt when the door is being closed, the projection 4 will be made to override the arm 14, and no obstruction will be caused to the shooting of the bolt.
