Title: Improvements in and connected with Lifts.
Inventor: JAGGER FRANK
Filed: 1906-10-19
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 23,150. Jagger, F. Oct. 19. Lifts. - Comprises special arrangements of collapsible and sliding cage and floor gates of lifts in which the doors remain locked until the cage has stopped at a floor, and the banding-rope has been locked, the handing- rope being retained locked when any door is opened. The outer end o of the cage gate carries a roller p adapted to co-act with a rod n suspended from links l, m. An arm on the rear link m carries a depending bar q having a slot in which slides a rod g. The hand - lever d for locking the handing-rope e carries on its shaft c a cranked pin i engaging the rod g. When the lever d is moved to grip the handing-rope, the pin i moves the rod g until a slot s occupies the same position as the slot in the rod q, which is then released and the door can be opened. When the door is opened, the rod q moves in the slot s and the handing-rope is retained locked. In order to control the landing-gates, these are fitted with similar slotted depending rods 5 engaging sliding bars 6. The bars 6 are operated through bellcranks 7 and links 8 attached to an horizontal slide v integral with a vertical guide w for a roller 9 on the end of a rod g. The gripping-part of the hand-lever is formed partly concentric with ita fucrum to serve as a dwell, ensuring the doors being locked before the handing-rope is released. The ends of the rods n, 3 may have recesses 10 to engage the rollers p, 11 on the gates. The bottoms of the doors may be locked by pivoted catches linked to the suspending-links l, 4.

Granted: 1907-11-30
Abstract: 27,394. Holmstrom, C., and Middleton, E. Dec. 1. Ordnance breech mechanism. - The swinging breech-screw carrier A is locked to the gun, when the carrier is swung inwards to close the breech, by a sliding bolt a, the inclined nose a<1> of which is caused to engage with the pocket B<2> on the breech ring B by the engagement of the inclined stud b<1> on the gun with the inclined wall a<4> of a hole a<3> in the bolt. When the breech is closed, the bolt is held in its engaged position by the flange c of the breech-screw C ; but when the latter has been unlocked and rectilinearly withdrawn, as shown in Fig. 2, the swinging movement of the carrier A, to open the breech, causes the bolt a to move inwards into a position to retain the breech-screw in its rearward position on the carrier. A spring a<5>, shown in vertical section in Fig. 3, may be provided, so as to exert friction upon the bolt and thereby to restrain its movements.

Abstract: 11,768. Hudler, J. May 21. Incandescent gas lamps.-In a lamp having the horizontal burner or burners described in Specification No. 1696, A.D. 1904, the inlet end of each mixing-tube is bent at an angle to the horizontal burner mouth. In one form, the lamp has two burners, a rectangular flue c, Fig. 2, and an horizontally-arranged semicylindrical globe b, and the air supply is admitted into a chamber d containing the mixing-chamber and through heating-channels e to the inner surface of the globe. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the burners a are parallel, the globe b is hemispherical, a reflecting-baffle m deflects the combustion gases against the heating-channels e, and an annular glass baffle f deflects the air supply to the bottom of the globe.

Patent GB-190715539-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hat Brim Smoothing or Rubbing Machines.
Inventor: HEINZE MORITZ
Filed: 1907-07-05
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 15,539. Heinze, M. Dec. 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Brims; felt hats.-A machine for smoothing the brims of hats has a single pedal which, by a single operation, throws the driving-belt from a loose pulley on to the driving-pulley, operates mechanism which draws together two rollers to clip the hat brim on opposite sides and cause it to revolve, and mechanism which brings together two reciprocating smoothing-pads, the various mechanisms being automatically thrown out of action after a certain number of revolutions. The loose and driving pulleys c', c, Fig. 2, are mounted upon the main shaft, which also carries a chain-wheel d; this wheel drives crank-disks m, giving a reciprocating movement to the arms n which carry the smoothing-pads o, o<1>, Fig. 5. The hat is revolved by transport rollers r, r<1> driven by the conical gearing f, p, Fig. 2, and the gear-wheel q. To the weighted pedal lever x are secured two rods 1, 2 ; the rod 1 operates a parallel lever 6 which raises the upper roller r against the action of the spring 8, so that the transport rollers are separated, and actuates also a pivoted arm 12 carrying a roller 13 which rolls within the hat and presses it laterally against the smoothing-pads. The rod 1 also actuates a spring-held lever 18 the free end of which carries the guide in which the upper smoothing- pad reciprocates, the guide for the lower pad rock ing on the fixed pin 21. The rod 2 actuates the belt-changing lever w which is connected with a catch-lever mechanism u, v adapted to fix the beltmoving mechanism in one position or the other. When the pedal is depressed, the belt-changing lever carries the belt over on to the driving-pulley and the catch-lever mechanism is brought over to one extreme position. At the same time, the arm 1 brings the gear-wheels p, q into engagement and draws together the rollers o, o' against which the hat is pressed by the roller 13, which is also drawn into position by the arm 1. The hat brim revolves and the rubbers reciprocate in opposite directions upon the brim until the pin t upon the gear-wheel s, which is normally held in engagement with the bevel-gearing e upon the shaft, engages the catch-lever mechanism; the lever w thereupon moves the belt to the loose pulley and, at the same time, the projection 24 rocks the gear-wheel s free from the bevel-gearing, and all the other mechanisms are restored to their original positions so that the hat may be removed.
