Abstract: 8247. Currie, J. April 6. Lens fittings.-Apparatus for producing a composite negative consists of a lens fitting with removable diaphragms having various openings for producing the different sections of the composite picture by successive exposures. The diaphragms g, Fig. 2, are mounted on a two-part ring d, Fig. 1, at the end of a tube a, which fits on the lens by a flange b and screw c. The diaphragms are pivoted at h so that they may be swung in and out of position, and the edges are preferably serrated. The openings are arranged or selected so that under one exposure a section of the plate is not so distinctly and fully exposed as another section; by using another diaphragm in a subsequent exposure, the fully-exposed sections are now indistinctly exposed, while other sections indistinctly exposed on the previous exposure are now fully exposed.

Patent GB-190917202-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Collecting Oil or Grease from the Surface of the Water in Return Water-tanks.
Inventor: GRAHN PETER JOHN
IPC: B01D17/02
Filed: 1909-07-23
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 17,202. Grahn, P. J. Oct. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Decanting.-Oil or grease is collected from the surface of the water in the return tanks of steam beating or steam-pressure systems by funnelshaped collectors carried by an oscillating tubular shaft, and is conducted outside the tank to a receptacle in communication with a second receptacle in which a float is arranged to automatically control the position of the collectors. In the return water-tank 5 are placed funnel-shaped oil collectors 12 opening into the oscillating pipe 8. The latter communicates with the steam trap 22, shown in Fig. 2. Oil passing through the latter is collected in the tank 15 which has connexion with a similar tank 16 by a pipe 17. A float 35, working on a grooved stem 37, is actuated by the rise and fall of the water in the tank 16, and, by crank mechanism 32, raises or lowers the funnel-shaped oil collectors 12 according to the adjustment made by the tap 38. When the device is applied to an open supply tank, the float 28 in the trap 22, shown in Fig. 3, which closes the discharge opening, is dispensed with.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 18,662. Lea, E. C., Dagnall, W., and Perry, C. L. Aug. 13. Sewing-machines; lock-stitching by shuttles.- Relates to improvements in the circular rotary shuttle described in Specification 4591/99. The edge of the shuttle body is recessed at h in front of the hook b so that, when passing the needle point, the thread between the shuttle and the work is out of the path of the needle. The edge of the shuttle body is also enlarged at j between the recess h and the hook so that the thread between the shuttle and the work is carried out of the path of the hook when the hook is passing it. The edge of the cover is cut away at c<2> to render it parallel to the edge of the recess h. The thread passes out of the shuttle through an annular space between the shuttle body and cover. This space is restricted just in front of the hook by a leaf spring k, which is secured to the inside of the shuttle body and presses on the edge of the cover. An eye n on this spring projects through the shuttle and is entered by a tapered pin m, secured to the outside of the shuttle. By moving this pin more or less through the eye n, the tension of the shuttle thread is regulated.

Patent GB-190922357-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Fleece Dividing Apparatus for Condenser Carding Engines.
Inventor: BAMFORTH JOHN GEORGE
IPC: D01G15/52
Filed: 1909-10-01
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 22,357. Bamforth, J. G. Oct. 1. Carding-engines. - In a condensing carding- engine, the fleece to be divided passes from the doffer to a roller having a series of annular grooves, into which enter cutting or dividing blades or disks provided with plain or serrated edges. A series of endless belts travel over the roller between the grooves and hold the fleece securely during division. The grooved roller may be formed of a series of spaced collars &c. upon a shaft or roller. The fleece 15, stripped from the doffer 1 by a roller 16, passes under a roller 17 to a breast roller 7, around which extend three sets of belts 6, 6<1>, 6<2>. These belts pass around the roller 3 and are arranged to deliver the slivers to condensing rubbing- leathers 2, 2<1>, 2<2> respectively. Revoluble blades 5 enter grooves 3<1> in the roller 3 and divide the fleece into narrow ribbons, any fibres that do not readily pass to one side or the other being cut or broken. In a modification, the fleece passes direct from the roller 16 to the roller 3, and is held upon the roller 3 during division by short endless belts, one between each pair of blades. The ribbons are conveyed to the rubbing-leathers by separate sets of belts, all of which pass around a roller adjacent to the roller 3. The blades or disks may have an oscillatory or reciprocatory motion instead of being revoluble. The apparatus may be arranged to deliver to any number of condensing- rubbers and bobbins.

Abstract: 24,017. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 19. Electrical systems, automatic.-In alternating- current systems, the distant signal is placed at the shunting point of a relay, and is controlled by that relay in conjunction with the home signal in advance. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement of track relays in a continnous rail system similar to that described in Specification 21,596/08, modified in accordance with the present invention. The home signal H, which is adjacent to the transformer connexions, is controlled by relays E<6>, E<2>, E<3>, the two former being energized from a transformer C and the latter from the transformer next ahead. The distant signal G is controlled by the relay E' and the home signal H, at a switch h. In the inductive-bond system shown in Fig. 4, the home signal H<1> is controlled by a relay E<2> and a similar relay at the other end of the block. The distant signal G<1> is controlled by a locating relay E<4> near the transformer connexions and a relay E'. Fig. 2 shows the invention used with the relay connexions described in Specification 21,101/09, in which adjacent transformers C, C<1> are supplied with currents of different phase from the three leads b, b<1>, b<2>. The home signal H<1> is controlled by a locating-relay E<3> and a relay E<4>, sensitive to currents from transformer C<1> and a relay E<5>, sensitive to currents from the transformer the next ahead. The distant signal G<1> is controlled by a relay E', sensitive to currents from transformer C<1>, and a switch h on the home signal. The invention is also shown applied to a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, in which locating- relays are not used and the shunting point of a relay is fixed definitely either by a small reactance inserted in the rail or by a careful regulation of the transformer.

Abstract: 29,812. Zur Nedden, H. Dec. 21. Presses, mechanical.-The rocking bed of a press for colour - embossing, blocking, or embossing cardboard, metal plates, leather, &c., and in particular for work where a very heavy pressure is required, is raised by cams and toggle - levers &c. and impressed upon the work by means consisting of wedges or projections on the moving parts, which means come into operation only when the bed has descended close to the fixed table, being rendered inoperative should the hands be in the way and make possible stopping of the bed in its highest position for several inkings to be given without necessitating stopping of the whole machine. The frame a with stationary bed b has slots shaped, as shown, to serve as guides for the pins d, e on the movable bed c, which is raised by means of draw rods f, toggles g, h and a rod i from the cam k, and descends by its own weight. A wedge-shaped projection l is provided on the rod i, and is engaged by a similar projection m on the gear-wheel at each revolution thereof to give a final heavy pressure on the bed c except when the bed is held up or prevented from descending far enough by the operator's band on the table, in which case the wedge m would pass to the right of the wedge l, and any pressure on the latter would serve to raise the bed c and release the hand. In a modification for a cranklever press as shown in Fig. 3, the wedge on the gear-wheel is replaced by a wedge fixed to the frame ; and in a further modification, shown in Fig. 4, the wedge arrangement is replaced by a small arm o adapted to engage a pin p for giving the heavy pressure.
