Title: A New and Improved Steam-turbine
Inventor: SMITH JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-12-05
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 25,297. Smith, J. W. Dec. 5. Impac t-wheels.-A steam impact - wheel is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The wheel A has curved channels B formed in, or fitted to, the rim and a central dividing ring R. The nozzle E has blades F in its outlet, and the steam after passing through the wheel channels is returned to the inlet side through guide-channels formed by partitions D' and admission blades Fl. The cross-section of each guide-channel is constant, but the channels progressively increase in size. In a modification adapted for gas, divergent nozzles H, Figs. 3 and 5, are used. A series of guide-channels M of constant cross-section but of progressively increasing size are formed in the wall of the casing section and carry the dividing-ring R<1>, which projects into a groove in the wheel. A number of these sections are fitted to the wheel. In a modification, only one guide-channel is used. The motive fluid in all cises is supplied by the nozzle to a number of buckets from which it flows through a guide-channel to a greater number of buckets.

Title: An Automatic or Springless Lock for Telescopic Ladders and Method of Securing the Operating Cord
Inventor: HARRIS CHRISTOPHER STANLEY
Filed: 1907-05-16
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 11,457. Harris, C. S. May 16. Ladders.-The ladder lock b on the top section engages the rungs of the bottom section, and is pivoted to a plate a secured to a top .section side. The movement of the lock is limited by a stop s, and a bar r serves to connect two such locks together. When the ladder is raised, the lock b is turned on its pivot d on encountering a rung of the bottom section, and automatically returns to its normal position' on passing the rung. When the top section is slightly lowered, the lock engages the rung and locks the two sections together. To lower the ladder, the top section is raised until the pivoted arm h passes the rung previously engaged by the lock ; a downward movement is then given to the top section, whereby the rung turns the arm h on its pivot g until it bears against the face of the lock and throws it clear of the rung. The arm h is pivoted to a plate t which is pivoted on the plate a. Stops e, f limit the movement of theplate t, while a stop c limits the downward movement of the arm. 7 he top section is raised by an endless cord arrangement; the cord passes over a pulley m rotating on a pin passing through the limbs of a bent plate l, Fig. 5, fastened at the top of the bottom section. The ends of the rope are passed up holes drilled in externally screw-threaded bushes x, Fig. 4 ; they are then knotted and the bushes screwed into a socket piece w, which is secured to a bolt p by a split pin v. The bolt p is secured to the sliding section by nuts, and is drilled to receive the pin.

Abstract: 11,687. Groves, C. C. May 18. Rowlocks.-Relates to folding rowlocks, and comprises thole pins A, B fitted in a metal box C mortised into the boat's gunwale, and arranged so that when turned down they are flush with the surface of the gunwale, the thole pin B lying beneath the thole pin A. The extremity e of the pin B is supported, when housed, in a notch E in the foot F of the pin A. The thole pin A is mounted on a square pin A', which is turned to raise the thole pin A into the operative position by a bent prolongation of the pin A<1>. As the pin A rises into position, the heel c engages the pin B and raises it sufficiently to enable the rower to readily lift the free end until the pin B is in position. The sides of the pins A, B engage the ends of the box C, and the foot F acts as a counterpoise tending to cause the pin A to fold down. The pin B may also be fitted with a counterpoise.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Chains.
Inventor: FESSLER MAX
Filed: 1907-07-10
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 15,901. Fessler, M. July 11, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Making chains.-In solder wire for making ornamental chains, the core consists of solder that will unite in its plastic stage instead of only in its liquid form, thus avoiding spilling of the solder and enabling a cheaper kind to be used. In the process of soldering a link, it is heated to the softening point of the solder which, expanding more than the casing of the link, then fills up the joint to be soldered without getting on the surface of the link. It is stated that a solder composed of copper 63À6 parts, zinc 35À4 parts, lead À6 part, and iron À4 part, possesses this property of uniting in the plastic condition.

Abstract: 20,344. Thomson, J. K. Sept. 12. Time checks and registers for games. -Apparatus for indicating the time during which a billiard table has been in use, and for registering the number of games played, consists of a casing which contains a drawer for the balls, a clock l, and an indicator p'. A lever h is joined to the lower end of a lever g<1> pivoted between vertical brackets f<1>. The lever h projects through a hole in the back of the drawer frame, and is provided with a flat head h<1>. The upper end of the lever g<1> is jointed to the short arm k of a bell-crank lever which turns on a pivot k<1> carried by the brackets f<1>, the longer arm k<2> having a brush attached to its end. A spring k<4> secured to the top of the drawer frame presses the arm k' downwards. The clock l is made with an opening in one side so as to permit the brush at the end of the arm k' to come in contact with the balance wheel of the clock. A pin m, attached to the back of the drawer, passes through a hole m<1> in the casing and acts on the flat end n of a bell-crank lever n<1>, which is pivoted between vertical brackets o. The outer end of the long arm n<4> of this lever presses against a knob p which actuates the indicator p<1> mounted on top of the drawer case. The device is covered to prevent interference with the mechanism from the outside. To prevent tampering with the lever h when the drawer is withdrawn, a hinged flap q, pressed downwards by a spring q<2>, is held by the hooked end r<1> of a spring catch r. When the drawer is withdrawn, the arm k<2> is forced downwards by a spring k<4>, the brush is removed from contact with the balance wheel, and the clock is started. At the same time, the lever n4 is lifted from the knob p and the opening of the drawer is registered.
