Title: Improvements in Automatic Pistols.
Inventor: CLEMENT CHARLES PHILIBERT
Filed: 1907-06-12
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 13,623. ClÚment, C. P. June 12. Breech actions, sliding breechblock; magazines.-The recoiling breech-block 3 of an automatic pistol with stationary barrel impinges upon a rigid abutment 5, which is integral with the frame and is surrounded by a rearward extension 8 of the breech-block. The casing 4, provided with a sleeve 15 surrounding the barrel, is formed at the rear with a forked part secured to the abutment 5 by screws 6. The ejector consists of a rod 40 resting on the upper face of the body and attached to its rear end to the abutment 5. The sear 21 is connected to the trigger 23 by a link 24, which is provided with a pivot engaging in a semicircular bearing formed in the trigger. A shoulder 31 of the sear 21 is engaged by a notch 32 of the link 24, which is depressed to disengage the sear by a shoulder 29 of the falling hammer striking an extension 28 of the link. A spring 27 pressing on an inclined face of a projection 26 of the link returns the link to the operative position. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the lowering of the link is produced by an inclined surface 34 or on the link engaging the hammer pivot pin 19 as the link moves rearwardly. The magazine is held in position by the nose 44 of a lever 42 with a pusher 45.

Patent GB-190921264-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Reversible Turbines.
Inventor: CRAMP RICHARD
IPC: F01D1/30
Filed: 1909-09-17
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 21,264. Cramp, R. Sept. 17. Regulating; reversing; blades, nozzles, and the like.-Relates to valves and valve-gear for regulating and reversing a turbine comprising several disks, each carrying one or more rings of pivoted reversible vanes. The pivoted vanes 2 are swung into the desired operative position against stops 4 by the working-fluid from one of the oppositely inclined sets of nozzles 19, 20, which are controlled by segmental slide valves 21. Secured to the casing between the vanes 2 are guide-blades 13 arranged on each side of solid portions 16 to co-operate with the nozzles 19, 20. Throttle valves 36, 37 control the supply pipes 34, 35, which lead to cylinders 25, 29 containing pistons 32, 33 operated by a hand-wheel 56 through a rack and pinion. These pistons control the admission to the nozzles for forward and reverse driving, respectively. Thus, the piston 32, Fig. 10, uncovers successively ports 38, 39 leading to nozzles 26, 27, and a port 40 leading by a pipe 28, Fig. 7, to an equal number of nozzles situated diametrically opposite. On rotating the hand-wheel 56, the piston 32 closes these ports, and the piston 33 uncovers a port 42 which conducts the working-fluid to a pipe 44 leading to one end of a cylinder containing a piston, the consequent motion of which is imparted to the tongues 46, 51 of the reversing valves 21, Fig. 8. Further motion of the piston 33 uncovers ports 38, 39, 40 in the cylinder 29 similar to those in the cylinder 29 only leading to oppositely-inclined nozzles. The reversal of the pistons 32, 33 may be effected by the steam pressure if one of the throttle valves 36, 37 is closed.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Lapping, Creasing, Folding, Doubling, or similarly Treating Cloth and other Fabrics.
Inventor: FISH JOHN
IPC: B65H45/101
Filed: 1909-10-05
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 22,643. Fish, J., Phillips, T., and Parker, J. H. Oct. 5. Feeding webs.-Cloth is folded longitudinally by passage over a triangular frame from base to apex, and the frames are movable sideways to effect lateral adjustment of the passing cloth. Means are provided for rarying the inclination of the plane of the frame relatively to the delivery rollers, improved lateral adjusting-devices being also described. The frame consists of an inner convex part A<1> and two side members A<2> joined together at the apex, and to the part A<1> by a central bar A<3>. The bar A<3> is pivoted at C to a screwed rod C' having an adjusting-wheel C<2>. The inclination may be also altered by moving the side pieces A<2> in slots E in the frame by means of endless chains F passing round sprocket-wheels G, movement being effected by rotating the shaft H, which is controlled by a ratchet-wheel. The frame or the separate side bars may also be moved from side to side as described in Specification 5738/05, or by spring-controlled solenoid cores J, J<1>, the springs of which tend to draw the bars inwards. The solenoid circuits are controlled by registering- devices consisting of two blades K, K<1>, between which the cloth runs. When the cloth moves to one side it wedges between and turns the blades about the pivot L and closes contacts M, M<1> in the solenoid circuits. The solenoid in the circuit closed then pulls its core and moves the corresponding bar outwards. The registering-devices are suspended from nuts N' on screws O<1>, which are operated through gears P' by concentric shafts R; hand-wheels S, S<1> are provided to operate the devices separately or together, a pin T locking the wheels together when required. The run of the cloth may also be controlled by one or more staves before reaching the frame, as described in Specification 16,032/05, [Class 42, Fabrics, Dressing &c.]. One side of the frame may be used alone for feeding cloth which does not require to he folded, while the delivery rollers D may be moved instead of the frame.

Filed: 1910-01-25
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 1912. Haase, O. Jan. 25. Filing machines and apparatus, reciprocating. -In an apparatus for filing or smoothing tramway or railway metals &c., spring-pressed file blocks 20, Figs. 1 and 3, which are of suitable configuration, are supported by rolls 21 on a framework consisting of bars 1, 2, attached to end frames 3. The end frames have telescopic legs 4 adjusted by screws 5 and clamped by screws 6. Adjustable brackets 8 are attached to the frames 3 and carry spring-pressed rods, which enter the groove of a tramway rail to maintain the apparatus in position. The spindles of the rolls 21 are integral with pins 24, which pass through holes in a pivot bolt 32 integral with lugs 25 on the file blocks. Universal connexion of the file blocks with a handle 22 is also obtained by an analogous connexion to that described for the rolls 21. The handle is guided vertically between rolls 36 carried by a bracket 35. The apparatus mav be lifted by handles 18 or moved by wheels. In operation, the apparatus is placed on the rail with rods 13 in the groove, the legs 4 are lowered to the ground, and the file blocks are reciprocated by the handle 22. In a modification, two rails are filed simultaneously, and in this case, during the return stroke, one end of each file block is raised by means of the engagement of a lever on the blocks with a fixed abutment. Thereby the return stroke serves for sweeping up the chips, which are removed by an electric fan. The file blocks may be reciprocated by an electromotor or other means.

Abstract: 7769. Hancock, F. March 31. Pottery, turning.-In apparatus for shaping the exterior surfaces of pottery articles, such as basins, cups, mugs, tea-pots, jam-jars, pasteboxes, electric insulators, &c., the shaping-tool 6 is carried in a slanting position by arms 4, 5 adjustably secured on a sleeve 3 rotatably mounted on a pillar 2 which is slidable in a box 1 on the machine table, and is secured in position, after being adjusted by a screw-andnut device 9, 13, by a nut 12. The pillar 2 is connected to the sleeve 3 by a tension spring 7, the sleeve being normally held with the shaping- tool out of the cutting position by engagement with a stop on the box 1. The cutting operation is effected by rotating the sleeve 4 by hand so as to bring the shaping-tool gradually into contact with the work. The cutting-edge of the shaping-tool is backed off so as to clear the work as shown in Fig. 3. The apparatus described may be used instead of the slide-rest apparatus described in Specification 20,940/08.
