Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 30,098. Gasnier, M. L. April 28, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Actuating.-A device for intermittently controlling the supply of gas to burners for luminous signs and similar purposes comprises a bellows w enclosed in a casing a and adapted to operate the valves of the inlet and outlet chambers b through an oscillating cylinder o carrying a ball s. The ball s contacts with a pivoted member j, and fingers k are forced through openings e to lift inlet and outlet valves g. The increase of gas pressure in the casing a compresses the bellows w, which, as it sinks, carries with it one end of the cylinder o, until the ball is lifted sufficiently to roll into the cavity o<1>. The member j then releases the inlet and outlet valves, which close. By means of a spring on the spindle p, the cylinder o is gradually returned, the rate of inflation of the bellows being adjustable through a screwed pin y. The gas contained in the casing a is forced through an opening z to feed the pilot flame. When the free end of the pivoted member o is lifted sufficiently high, the ball rolls back against the member and the inlet and outlet valves are again opened.
Patent GB-191100539-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Loom Take-up Motions
Inventor: DAVID CHARLES LUCIEN
IPC: D03D49/20
Filed: 1911-01-09
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 539. David, C. L. Jan. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Take - - up motions ; warps, tensioning.- Looms are provided with a device which varies the take-up at each stroke of the lay, in accordance with the thickness of the last weft thread beaten up. As the lay beats up, an incline h, Fig. 1, acts on a rod c to raise a feeler-rod a carried by a spindle b. As the lay retires, the feeler is free to fall into the position shown in dotted lines. If the last weft is of an abnormal thickness, it arrests the feeler; and a projection L on the rod e holds up a pawl i, so that the motion of the lay causes the pawl to act on the ratchet-wheel of the take-up motion and impart an additional motion to it. The working face of the feeler is preferably made oblique to the rod a. The rod a may have a device a<1> for adjusting its length and .may be connected to a spring-controlled piston m, Fig. 3, the lay being provided with a tappet p which pushes the rod towards the. breast beam when the lay advances. The feeler may be arranged below the cloth, a recess being then provided in the lay, and it may be connected to the take-up motion by electric or pneumatic means. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a statement that the feeler may be connected to a device for rendering the warp tension proportional to the thickness of the weft. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 23,803. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, and Martineau, F. L. Oct. 27. Presses, governing and controlling; pressureproducing apparatus; relief and safety devices; hydraulic transmission of power.-An hydraulic press tool comprises a variable-stroke pump of the kind described in Specifications 12,574/09 and 9402/10 in circuit with an hydraulic-ram device for transmitting the pressure to the tool. Fig. 1 shows the motor, for instance an electric motor 1 driving the pump 2 which is connected to the top and bottom of the hydraulic cylinder by pipes 3, 7 and 8, and with a tank 10 by pipes 9 and 13. If the stroke-controlling lever 5 is moved counter-clockwise, liquid is drawn from the bottom of the ram and the tank 10 and delivered to the top of the ram until the stop 14 acts against the lever 17 to return the lever 5 and stroke-controlling ring to the midposition. If the lever be swung in the clockwise direction, the liquid is transferred from the top to the bottom of the ram. The surplus liquid passes to the tank 10 by way of the pipe 13 and valve 12 which is opened against the action of the spring 25 by the rod 19, stirrup 22 and pin 23. Should the lever 5 not be brought back to the central position when the ram 6 has completed the upward stroke, the liquid escapes through the relief valve 18.

Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 8283. Thomson, H. A. April 6. Ground levers.-In one-way levers, the handle 9, Fig. 2, bears against the bell-crank lever 3 and is fulcrumed at 10 to an arm 11, which is pivoted at 12 to the frame so that the point 10 moves almost vertically towards the lever 3 when the handle 9 is pulled. The ]ever 3 is controlled by a weight or by one or more springs in tension or compression which are provided with means for adjustment. The leverage of the springs decreases as the points are moved. The lever 9 may be secured to the arm 11 by a sleeve 19 with a spring 14 or by a bracket, Fig. 7, provided with serrations for adjustment and secured by a bolt 18, which may be screwed up to lock the handle 9, which then moves with the arm 11 as a single member. The arm 11 may have a treadle 17, Fig. 2, and may be in front of the lever 3 as shown, or behind it, Fig. 6, in which case the handle 9 has a roller 22 bearing against the frame. The frame is symmetrical so that the parts can be reversed for either right or left hand points.

IPC: B66B13/24
Filed: 1912-04-20
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 9352. Whittle, E. April 20. Lift cages and doors, locking and unlocking.- A base-plate mounted on the walls of a lift well or shaft is arranged to carry bolts, one of which locks the handing-chain when the cage is at a floor, and the other locks the door when the cage is absent. The endless handing-chain 5 passes up and down the well inside and outside the cage, the length outside the cage being provided at intervals corresponding to the floors with elongated links 5<c> which pass through guides in the base-plate. Fig. 1 shows the application to a lift with vertically - sliding doors. When the cage arrives at a floor, a cam 12 on the cage engages a roller 11 on a pivoted lever 10 and operates the bolt 9 against the influence of its spring to release the door. When the door is opened, a cam piece on it engages a roller on the bolt 8 and forces the latter against the influence of a spring into a hole in the elongated link 5<c> to lock the handing-chain. When the door is closed the bolt 8 is released, and, as the cage moves away, the bolt 9 is operated by its spring to lock the door. In a modification shown in Fig. 5 for a lift with a door on either side, two baseplates are provided, and the bolts 8 are connected by levers 16 and a limb 15. A further modification shown in Fig. 6 illustrates the application to a lift with double - hinged doors the halves of which are connected by a lever 19 and links 18, 18<a>. In this case an extension 22 on the door operates the bolt 8, and instead of the sliding bolt 9 a latch 23 is provided to engage a catch on the door.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Driving in Nails, Rivets, Screws or the like.
Inventor: STEIN ANTON
IPC: A43D86/00

Granted: 1913-05-23
Abstract: 12,253. Stein, A., and Parmentier, G. June 12,1911, [Convention date]. Loose-nailing.-A machine for driving in nails, rivets, screws, or the like, for fixing rubber heels or the like to boots and shoes, has its driving-tool brought into operation by the resistance to the movement of the work-clamp when it encounters the work. The clamp 1 and the tool 2 are driven by a differential gear consisting of bevel-pinions 3, 4. The bevel-pinions 3, 4 are both engaged by bevel-pinions carried on a frame rotated through a pinion 8. The pinion 3 has a screw-threaded connexion with the clamp, and when rotated, causes the clamp to be depressed. The pinion 4 carries a plate 12, through a square hole in which the square spindle 11 of the driver passes. The spindle is connected through a nut 13 having an external thread with the internally-screwed part of a casing 14. A spring 10 maintains an upward pressure on the spindle 11. In the operation of the machine, on rotation of the pinion 8 from external gearing, the pinion 3 is rotated and the clamp depressed, the pinion 4 being held against rotation by the upward pressure on the spindle 11 due to the spring 10. When the clamp engages the work, the pinion 3 is stopped and the pinion 4 rotated, thus forcing the nail or screw into the work. The spindle is connected to the nut 13 by a screw-thread of flatter pitch than that by which the nut is connected to the casing 14, with the object of causing a rapid downward movement of the tool during the idle part of its stroke due to the nut moving in the casing, and a comparatively slow actual driving or screwing downward movement due to the spindle turning in its nut. The pitch between the spindle and the nut is arranged to correspond with the pitch of the screws being driven. The screwdriver or hammer 2 is preferably separate from the spindle 11, but is connected therewith by a feather in the one and a groove in the other.
