Title: Improvements in or relating to Spring Hubs.
Inventor: LEEK ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1908-12-08
Granted: 1909-12-08
Abstract: 26,536. Leek, A. E. Dec. 8. [Cognate Application No. 9232, A.D. 1909, dated April 19.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Spring wheels.-Relates to the type of wheel in which the hub encloses one or more spiral spring or springs. At each side of the hub the axle is fitted with a radial arm C, Fig. 1, engaging a stop E on the spoke ring. The arms are diametrically opposite, and are formed with a split end clamped on the axle by a screw. Tne spring A is adapted to axles of different diameters bv mounting it on a two-part detachable casing D. In the form shown in Fig. 6, a cable P secured at its ends to the spoke ring passes over two diametrically opposite pulleys G secured to a flange on the axlebox, and over a third pulley L on the axle-box. The cable and pulleys may be duplicated or applied to opposite sides, and a chain and sprocket-wheels may be substituted. The ends of the cable are secured in guides P<1> mounted on springs Q. Each spring is fitted on a pin K pivoted on a pin K<1> carried by an extension B<2> of the spoke ring. The springs taper gradually towards the centre, and are used in pairs set oppositely in tension. The inner ends are fitted in slots in a two-part detachable sleeve.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 3328. Biedermann, K. H. Feb. 10. Cultivators, ploughs.-Relates to cultivators of the kind in which parallel side beams carrying the shares are connected by transverse beams, by turning which about a pivot support in the centre beam the width of working may be varied. To the beam a are pivoted bars r, s, also pivoted at their ends to side beams k, to which the shares m are fastened. A handle g is made fast to a spindle e upon which the bar s rotates, so that the bar s, and with it the bar r, may be rotated by moving the handle, which may be clamped to a semicircular frame f. The distance between the beams is thus adjustable. A central removable forward share is attached to the beam a and the beams k are interchangeable. The shares are slotted, Fig. 3, and are attached to the stays l by set-screws o, thus allowing adjustment ; they may also be set obliquely as far as the stop p will allow. One end is pointed for digging, and the other is wide like a knife for cutting. To convert the machine into a ridging-plougb, the side beams and the front share are removed and a brace 5, Fig. 7, having a share 6, is fitted to the beam a. Stripping-plates 8 are hinged to the share, and are adjusted by means of levers 13 and a rocking lever 12 connected to the spindle e. A forecarriage for the cultivator is shown in Fig. 4. The spindle 3 is pivoted to the axle and can be clamped in the frame at varying heights.

Abstract: 19,223. Whitehead, T. H. Aug. 21. Sampling granular and like materials.-An apparatus for automatically taking samples of liquids, solids, such as cereals, and the like at predetermined intervals is controlled by a clockwork mechanism. The grain &c. to be sampled passes through a chamber B divided into two compartments N, K by a partition G; the compartments lead respectively to a sample bottle E and to an outlet or delivery pipe K'. Pivoted on trunnions T over the partition G is a funnel F rocked by means of a lever H and an eccentric driven by clockwork C so as to deflect the stream into the compartment N and thence to the bottle E. The bottles E are arranged around a disk I, which is adapted to be rotated by a weight W suspended over the pulleys P, P'. The disk receives an intermittent motion due to the action of levers D, D<1>, controlled by the clockwork C, upon the stops 0 mounted on the circumference of the disk.

Abstract: 23,288. Hoyle, J. R., and Strange, H. B. Oct. 12. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses of the type in which a diaphragm closing the flash passage is perforated by a punch on impact. According to the invention, a pellet D carries a needle E and a number of punches F which, normally, hold the pellet D at safe, but, on impact, perforate a diaphragm H mounted as shown and allow the pellet D to move forward and fire a primer G the flash from which passes through the perforated diaphragm and the passages B<2> to powder pellets J and fires the explosive charge of the projectile. The pellets J may delay the action. Screws N &c. prevent the rotation of the pellet D, which may be further locked by usual centrifugal bolts. A hole A<1> allows an accidental flash to escape to an annular space C<1> where it is ineffective. A spring L prevents rattling.

Abstract: 7665. James, R. W., [Continental Paper Bag Co.]. March 29. Embossing and stamping.-In a machine for making cartons such as that shown in Fig. 12, the material passes from a roll over rods 18, Fig. 3, and is damped by steam supplied through a pipe 19. It is fed by rolls 33, 34 operated from a shaft 50, which is intermittently actuated from a shaft 7 by means of star-wheel mechanism. A series of punches, each comprising a projecting cylindrical portion 41<a>, Fig. 6, and blades 41b then coact with dies having a central hole 42<a>, and-blades 42<b>, to cut central disks from the carton pocket 91 and also slots radiating therefrom. Simultaneously a blank length is severed by cutters 35, 36, and the leading end of the blank is impaled on one of the feed-pins 100 of an endless chain 81, each link of which is half the length of the blank. The blank is then fed forwards and brought to rest under the shaping- means F. The chain links have grooves 902, 903, Fig. 7, corresponding to the desired shapes of the portions 92, 93 of the carton. Plungers 117, 118, 122 are successively operated by cams to form the portion 92, 93 of the carton, and to clamp its wings 97 against the table 127. Cam-operated plugs 125, 126 then rise to spread out into sockets 123, 124 the parts of the carton pocket 91.

Title: Improvements in Flushing Valves.
Inventor: TWYFORD THOMAS WILLIAM
Filed: 1911-01-07
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 444. Twyford, T. W. Jan. 7. Waste - preventing v a l v e s. - A flushing- valve is provided with means to prevent the valve from being held permanently open, to limit the duration of the flush, and to ensure a predetermined interval b e t w e e n successive flushes. In one form, shown in Fig. 1, the main valve 12 is held to its seat by fluid pressure admitted through a valve-controlled by-pass 8 to the back of a piston 2 formed on the valve member. The valve is opened by fluid pressure acting on an annular area of the valve member when the pressure above the piston is relieved by opening the auxiliary lift valves 9, 10. These valves are actuated by a pivoted handle 16 acting through a sliding member 19 and pivoted catch 30. As soon as the flush is started, the handle is disconnected by the water entering the float chamber 25, and raising the annular float 27 which supports a ring 29 adapted to engage the catch 30 and disengage the point 23 from the notch 22. In a modification the float chamber is arranged above the main valve. The movements of the main valve are damped by means of a dash-pot 36, and the interval between successive flushes is adjusted by adjusting the valve 32 controlling the outlet from the float chamber. The catch may be actuated by the flush acting on a pivoted plate, or the flush may be arranged to fill a vessel with a small outlet orifice mounted on a pivoted and weighted lever. In a modification shown in Fig. 6, the valve is adapted to be actuated by a closet seat. The catch which is normally out of engagement with the recess falls into the operative position when the link 60 is oscillated by depressing the seat 54. On raising the seat, the spring 58 actuates the valve and starts the flush.
