Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Automatically Playing Pianofortes, Carillons and other Musical Instruments.
Inventor: WALKER JAMES JOHN
Filed: 1908-07-18
Granted: 1909-10-18
Abstract: 15,251. Walker, J. J. July 18. Automatic instruments ; carillon mechanism.-In an action for automatic musical instruments of the type described in Specification No. 1895, A.D. 1905, the motor 18 may exert a retarding influence, which may be adjusted, on the motor 5, during the working movement of the latter. The tune-sheet, which is of the kind described in Specification No. 1895A, A.D. 1905, is provided with two perforations for each note, and when air is admitted to the duct 15 controlling the motor 5, the valve 8 is operated to cut off the motor 5 from the atmosphere and connect it to the exhaust chamber a. At the same time, the valve 31 is raised by the pressure on the diaphragm 33, thereby closing the port 22, so that the air within the motor 18 can only escape through the duct 24, which is controlled by an adjustable valve 26. If air is subsequently admitted to the duct controlling the motor 18, the valve 19 is operated to connect the motor 18 to exhaust, thereby increasing the force with which the striker 4 is operated and the loudness of the note produced. When the duct 15 is closed, the air behind the diaphragm 12 is exhausted through the " bleed-bole " 17, so that the valve 8 is operated to connect the channel 6 to atmosphere, causing the valve 31 to fall by gravity, and permitting the motors 5, 18 to be freely expanded by the action of the spring 34*. The sides of the motor 18 are stiffened by cardboard 35. An arrangement is also described for obviating the necessity for long apertures in the tune-sheet when piano-pedals, organ swell-pedals, or draw-stops are to be maintained depressed or drawn for a long period. For instance, when a pedal is to be depressed, air is admitted to a valve controlling a motor which, by operating a slide valve, admits air to a valve controlling a second motor for depressing a pedal. When air is admitted to another tracker duct, the slide valve is moved in the opposite direction to cut off the connexion to atmosphere of the valve controlling the pedal-operating motor.

Title: Improvements in three speed gearing for velocipedes
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 23,090. Kimberley, F. A., and James Cycle Co. Oct. 30. Driving-mechanism.-An epicyclic three-speed gear of the one-train type is operated by sets of transverse bolts displaced by concentric rings and wedge devices. In a cycle hub gear shown in Fig. 1, the driving- sleeve A is connected through a ratchet clutch c<1> with the internally-toothed ring C. The planet-pinions d are carried by a plate D connected through a ratchet clutch d<1> to a ring B<1> screwed into the hub shell B. The sun-pinion e is secured to a plate E, which carries on its inner face a pivoted lever e<2>, Fig. 3, and on its outer face projections e', Fig. 4, with a gap between them. Spring-returned bolts G when thrust to the left by a ring g are capable of coupling the plate D to the sleeve A. Like bolts F when operated by a ring f can couple the ring B<1> to the ring C. A projection from the lever e<2> extending through the plate E can be engaged by a sliding plunger I. A wedge surface f<1> on a further extension e<3> of the lever e<2> is adapted to engage and operate the ring f. A wedge surface g' on the lever e' can similarly operate the ring g. A projection e<4>, Fig. 3, on the lever e<2> normally engages teeth a<2> on the plate D, locking the parts together for a solid drive. The plunger I on being depressed strikes the lever e<2> and enters the gap between the projections e'. The pinion e is thus freed from the ring B<1> and held against rotation. The ratchet clutches c<1>, d' then automatically engage and produce the reduced or power drive. Further depression of the plunger I brings the sets of plungers G, F into action by means of the wedges g', f<1> and the rings g, f. This effects the high-speed drive, the clutches c', d' overrunning.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Previously Formed Fasteners.
Inventor: GODDU GEORGE
IPC: A43D71/02
Filed: 1909-09-02
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 20,117. Goddu, G. Sept. 3, 1908, [Convention date]. Loose-nailing.-In a boot or like machine for inserting previously-formed fasteners, such as loose nails, the nails are fed to the driver passage down a raceway 68 in a segment-shaped plate 66, Figs. 6 and 7, which oscillates about a rock-shaft 72 so as to pick up nails from the bottom of a hopper 64, Fig. 2, and deliver them singly upon a downwardly-inclined ledge 70, Figs. 6 and 7, in the driver passage. When the driver is raised, the friction between it and the head of the nail tends to turn the shank of the nail into the driver passage. To ensure proper delivery, however, the plate 66 is provided with a projection 94, Fig. 6, which is adapted to engage the shank of the nail and to push it into the driver passage. A section of the machine head which includes a portion of the driver passage is made removable, for convenience in clearing the driver passage of any defective fastener. The hopper 64 is provided with a door 95, so that the nails may be removed when it is desired to use others of different sizes or kinds. To prevent nails from lying across and clogging the raceway, the side of the raceway adjacent to the side of the hopper along which the raceway moves is provided with an upstanding portion 120, Fig. 8. The rock-shaft 72 of the plate 66 is actuated from a second rockshaft 38 by a trip mechanism shown in Fig. 3, the effect being that the raceway receives a sudden movement as it comes into fastenerreceiving position, causing the nail resting on the ledge 70 to be jarred into the driver passage. The shaft 38 is actuated from a treadlelever 6, Fig. 2, movement of which first swings the head 10 about its pivot to clamp the work on the horn 18, and then raises the driver bar 22 by means of the engagement of a pawl 32 with a lug 30. Afterwards, a projection 50 on the head 10 engages and trips the opposite end 48 of the pawl 32, and the driver is driven downwards by a spring 24.
