Title: Improvements in Rocket Parachutes
Inventor: AASEN NIELS WALTERSEN
Filed: 1908-06-04
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 12,148. Aasen, N. W. June 7,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Parachutes.-A parachute 7 of fire-proof cloth is mounted on ribs attached to a rod 1, and is carried into the air by a number of rockets 6 fixed on a crown 5 and fired simultaneously. A frame 2 is fixed to the lower end of the rod and supports, on elastic cords, a basket 3 for carrying a person or a weight. The parachute cover is formed with a central opening 9, and is stayed by cords 8. The rod 1 may have a tail on which are placed lanterns, fireworks, &c.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Ship Ventilators and Connections thereto.
Inventor: BLACKWELL EDWIN ORLANDO
Filed: 1908-06-10
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 12,499. Blackwell, E. O. June 10. Ventilating ships.-A multiple-deck ventilator consists of a cowl A and a series of tubes D, E of diminishing diameter arranged between the decks. The ventilator ports S, T are closed by annular plates V, W mounted on a central spindle d which is raised.or lowered by rack- and-pinion mechanism. Each of the plates, V, W as well as the bottom port-closing disk X may be operated independently to close a particular compartment by means of a screwthreaded connexion l, m, with the spindle. Stops t, u, v limit the upward movement of the spindle. In the event of a leak, a float 7 working in a float case 8 is caused to raise the rod 9 and thus close the ventilator ports. An electric bell 12 is also rung when the bilge water reaches a predetermined height. The ventilator is connected up to a system of pipes 1, 2 supplied with compressed air from a compressor 4, so that in the event of a compartment or compartments being flooded the supply of compressed air is turned on to expel the bilge water either through the leak K or through sea-cocks 10. Each of the ventilation ports is electrically connected to a signal board 15 which indicates whether that particular port is open or closed. In the event of a vessel sinking, all the ventilator ports are closed by divers as a preliminary to raising the vessel by forcing air into the hull.

External flues j, formed by plates r placed tangentially to the shells, communicate with the combustiun chamber through connexions k. In addition to the grates in the flue tubes f, a grate m may be provided between the lower shells tu fire the boiler externally. The grates in the flue tubes may be dispensed with, the flue tubes f serving as return flues from the external furnace on the grate m. Superheaters may be placed in the external flues j.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Numbering, Perforating, Printing Paper from the Roll, Slitting or/and Perforating and Cutting same into Sheets, Folding the Sheets or not, and Piling same in Fixed Quantities Ready for Binding.
Inventor: BROWN ARTHUR VYVYAN
IPC: B41F17/00
Filed: 1909-03-02
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 5101. Brown, A. V. March 2. Feeding webs; cutting and perforating apparatus; delivery apparatus.-In a machine constructed to print circulars, cash tickets, &c. in one or more colours, to number one or both sides, to perforate the web for stabbing or wire stitching &c., to slit and if desired perforate the web longitudinally, to cut into sheets, and to pile in fixed quantities ready for binding with or without previous folding, the web is fed forwards by a roll 16, Fig. 1, which is engaged by a roller 17 mounted in adjustable bearings and provided with longitudinal slitters and, if desired, perforators. The roll 16 is rotated to an adjustable extent from the wheel 27 by means of a ratchet 36 on an arm 35 on a freely-mounted wheel 33 oscillated by a toothed rod 31 pivoted to the wheel 27. The extent of the rotation of the roll 16 is adjusted by means of an adjustable segmental guard 38 which trips the pawl 36. The perforating-device 8, 9 consists of a series of pins 8 attached to a block 52 carried by a spring-controlled rod which is actuated by a lug 55 on the standard 4 as the standards approach. The pins are guided by holes in a bracket 50, and they coact with a plate 9 carried by a spring-controlled rod 60 guided by a bracket 51 and formed with a retaining-collar 62. After the web is slit, it is cut by an oscillating knife 20 and a fixed knife 82 and, if folding is not required, the sheets are delivered to a pocketed-band 130, Fig. 6, in counted batches. If folding is required, the folding-rollers are placed on the frame of the machine in the same position as that which the band 130 occupies when in use. In either case the sheets are delivered by bands 87, 88 to bands 102, 103 passing over rollers 104, 105. On the shaft 105<A> is a ratchet-wheel 106 to which is connected a coiled spring 109, Fig. 3, which is also connected to a wheel 108 fixed to the shaft 105 and held in place by a spring-controlled pawl 110. The ratchet-wheel 106 is rotated one tooth at each rotation of the wheel 27, by a cam-actuated rod 113, Fig. 1, carrying a pawl 112. When the wheel 106 completes its rotation, a lug 107 on the wheel releases the wheel 108 from the action of the pawl 110 and the spring 109 unwinds and rotates the shaft 105<A>, and with it the delivery bands 102,103.

Filed: 1911-02-23
Granted: 1912-02-28
Abstract: 4984. Matricardi, G. Feb. 28. Generating combustion products under pressure. - A cylinder a having a combustion chamber at each end contains a piston c propelled by explosions which take place alternately at each end. During i t s movement, the piston compresses combustion products and air on one side, and draws in air and a combustible on the other side. The cylinder a is in communication with the storage reservoir through valves d, d', chamber e, and pipes f. Combustible is supplied through pipes j, j<1>, chambers m, m<1>, holes l, l<1>, and valves k, k<1>. On the movement of the piston to the right, burnt gases and air are expelled through the valve d<1>, and burnt gases escape past the valve d when it has been uncovered by the piston. This escape takes place until the pressure in the cylinder is equal to that in the reservoir when the valve d closes. Further movement of the piston draws in air which has been caused by casings h to traverse the toothed cylinder ribs i through the valve b and compresses the air and gases in the right end of the cylinder prior to an explosion therein. A similar cycle takes place on the return stroke of the piston. At starting,- compressed-air or an explosion charge may be admitted by cocks o, o<1>.
