Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 17,233. Bentley, J. J., and Day, C. F. Aug. 17. Milk cans.-In order to prevent milk from splashing on to the handle j of the measure i, a chamber b is formed at the mouth, the front d of which is recessed to contain the stem f of the handle. The handle is bent as shown, so that when the lid is removed and the can tilted the handle locks itself on the piece d. The ends of the flange l of the lid are connected by a piece n, which fits closely to the piece d and holds the handle in place. The ledge h on each side of the recess is preferably curved as at o. The can may be cylindrical or conical and of circular, elliptical, or other section, and it may carry one or more measures. There may be one or more chambers b to each can, which may be separate from or made with the can. The lid may be hinged.

Abstract: 21,514. Ream, J. Oct. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Conveyers.-In a conveyer of the articulated trough type, means are provided for connecting the bucket-shaped trough sections, feeding material into the trough without spilling the same, and for retaining such material in the trough during transport. The trough sections, Fig. 6, are formed of side plates 15 riveted to the up-turned edges of end and bottom plates 16. One end of each plate 16 is bent over to form a hollow cylinder 18 and the other end is bent into a cylinder 19 overlapping the cylinder 18 of the adjacent section. Disengagement is prevented by bolts 20 passing through holes in the parts 19 and through slots 21 in the end parts of the adjacent plates 16. Spindles 24 are passed through the apertures of the cylinders. These spindles carry the rollers 26 for running on the tracks and the ends are secured to the alternate single links 29 of the sprocket chains. The side plates 15 are extended upwardly to increase the capacity, and have recessed overlapping portions 22, 23. The charging-hopper 46, Fig. 3, has a number of doors 47 sliding in guides 48 and opened by cords 53 passing around winding- drums 52. On each side of the hopper are plates 56 depending between the side plates 15 of the endless trough to prevent spilling of the material when charging. On the carrying run the material is enclosed on the upper side by a hood, the sides of which depend between the side plates 15.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Opening and Closing Electric Switches and Turning On and Off Gas Lights at Definite Times.
Inventor: MEHNE JOHANN GEORG
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 14,052. Mehne, J. G. June 15. Actuating valves and cocks.-An electric time switch for turning lights on and off at hours varying automatically according to the change of seasons throughout the year, stated to be applicable also in connexion with gas lighting, is constructed with a lever adapted to be set against a spring, latched, and released from the latch, so as to move quickly, the setting and releasing being effected by one and the same pin or cam surface. The disk a, Fig. 2, which rotates once in twenty-four hours, carries cams h, i, which have a yearly rotation about their eccentric pivot i. Arms f, loosely pivoted at g, and carrying pins e are thus altered in position relative to the disk according to the slow rotation of the cams. To operate the switch, the pins revolve with the twenty-fourhours disk. The forward pin c, Fig. 4, strikes a release lever k and allows a lever n to be operated by a strained spring m. It then passes on and actuates the lever n directly in the reverse direction until the lever is again caught by the fall of the release lever k. The to-and-fro movement of the lever n is transmitted through a toothed sector p and pinion q to a switch (not shown). On the axis of the pinion q is a toothed disk s co-operating with a spring latch u oscillated by a pin x on the lever n, in order to stop the motion at the successive definite points.

Title: Apparatus for Raising and Lowering Roller Blinds of any kind, such as for Windows, Doors and Partitions for Dwelling Houses and Shops.
Inventor: LOUIS JAKOB
IPC: E06B9/68
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 14,014. Louis, J., and Kilburg, J. June 9. Roller blinds.- Relates to roller blinds in which the blind is raised by a step-by-step feed mechanism, such as the silentpawl type, and is lowered under the action of its own weight under the control of a brake. A single handle is adapted to work the raising-mechanism and to control the brake during both the raising and lowering of the blind. On pulling the rod g to raise the blind, the band brake k is released from the wheel d by the pawl o, and the pawl i on the lever h engages the wheel d which winds the roller b through gearing e. When the rod is pushed up, the band brake is brought into action again by the spring p, and the pawl slides freely over the wheel d. To lower the blind, the rod g is turned on its axis which moves the cam or eccentric l to disengage the pawl i from the wheel d. On pulling the rod g, the brake is released as before, and the blind is free to fall until stopped by the brake, which comes into action on returning the rod.

The ducts 3, 4 control motors which shift the tune-sheet or tracker-bar, or slightly incline the axes of the winding-rollers and tracker-bar as described in Specification 27,043/05, when the tune-sheet apertures 6, 7 register with the ducts. The ducts 3, 4 are in line with ducts a, b, c, d, which control devices for effecting (a) the stoppage of the tune-sheet without rewinding, (b) the stoppage of the tune-sheet after rewinding, (c) the stoppage of the tune-sheet and rewinding, and (d) the re-starting of the tunesheet after rewinding. The tune-sheet apertures 6, 7 are so small that if one only coincides with a tracker-duct no effect is produced, and they are spaced apart so that only one of them can register with a duct a, b, c, or d at a time, whereas all the apertures in a group can simultaneously register with a duct 3 or 4.

Fig. 2 shows an underside view of the gramophone mechanism, and Fig. 3 the mechanism in elevation. The spring motor 4 drives the turntable spindle 15 through gears 9, 10, 13, 14. The governor 22 is driven by a worm 18 from a worm-wheel 17 on the turntable spindle 15. A snail cam 36 on a shaft 34 is slowly rotated by a worm 32 and worm - wheel 33, and through a lever 45 moves a lever 46 carrying a brake pad 47 to press upon the governor disk 26 and control the speed of the motor and gradually accelerate the same as the reproducer and stylus move towards the centre of the disk record. The snail-cam may be arranged to accelerate the motor as the reproducer moves away from the centre of the disk record in records of that type. To play constant speed records, the wheel 33 is moved longitudinally in its bearings, as shown in dotted lines, to bring the worm-wheel 33 out of engagement with the worm 32. A spring stop 43 holds the worm 32 and wormwheel 33 in engagement when necessary. A pointer on the shaft 34 moves over a fixed scale 38 to indicate the various speeds.

Abstract: 13,077. Numford, A. G., and Boothroyd, A. W. May 31. Vaporizers, external.-An annular vaporizing- chamber c is formed between two cylinders, the inner one a of which is adapted to be heated at starting by a blow lamp and the outer one b permanently after starting by exhaust gases. A pipe d connects the vaporizer at one end to an air inlet and to the fuel supply which may terminate in an ordinary spraying-nozzle, while another pipe e leads to the induction pipe f of the engine between a supplementary air valve h and the mixture throttle x. The vaporizer may be water-jacketed, in which case the exhaust gases are made to impinge on the external wall of the vaporizing-chamber before coming into contact with the cooled surface. Radial fins a<1> act as heat-conductors and as distance-pieces, and also for cleaning purposes when the cylinder a is loosened and rotated in the cylinder b. In a modification there are internal ribs to the cylinder a.
