Patent GB-190716034-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Construction of a Pocket Electric Lamp Worked with Secondary Battery applicable for various purposes.
Inventor: THOMSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-07-12
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 16,034. Thomson, W. July 12. Lens holders; reflector holders; signal lamps; velocipede lamps-A pocket electric batterylamp has the lamp k, Fig. 2<a>, mounted in a reflector in a cylinder j on the top of a metal case ; the cylinder j can be covered by a cap, as shown, containing a lens or coloured glass or films for photography or railway signalling; or a reflector may be attached to enable the lamp to be used on a cycle when placed in a metal case supported on springs. The lamp circuit is completed by depressing a button, which can be covered by a small cap, attached to the cap which covers the lamp. The button can be held in the depressed position to obtain a continuous light by giving it a partial turn. Specification No. 14,768, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Electric lamps &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-190722173-A (GB)
Title: Excavators.
Inventor: PAWLING ALONZO
Filed: 1907-10-08
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 22,173. Pawling, A., and Harnischfeger, H. Oct. 8. Excavating.-Excavators of the class comprising an oscillating member, and a digging-bucket connected with and movable with respect to this member, together with continuously rotating means for operating said member, are provided with manually-controllable variably-acting means, unconnected with the oscillating member but connected with the bucket, for thrusting and retracting the latter during its operation by the said member. The apparatus is also provided with a bucket for receiving and removing the contents of the digging- bucket, the receiving-bucket being operated in timed relation with the digging-bucket. The arms 1 are oscillated by connecting-rods 4 operated by gear-wheels 6 which are continuously rotated by the engine 8. The digging-member 9 is hung from the arm 1 by links 10, and is also pivoted to arms 11 carried by toothed segments 12 which are mounted loosely on the spindle 17 of the gearwheels 6. The receiving-bucket 20 is carried by pivoted arms 21 which are oscillated by links 23 from the ends of the arms 1. When the bucket is in its lowest position, it is in a position to receive the material tipped from the digging-bucket 25 which is then in its highest position. The digging- bucket is pivoted in the digging-member 9 and has a limited motion with respect to this member. A projection 27 on the digging-bucket is struck by the receiving-bucket as this reaches its lowest position, and the shock thus imparted ensures complete discharge of the excavated material. The gearwheels 6 are driven by pinions fixed on a shaft 38 which is driven through a clutch 16<11> from a shaft driven by the engine 8. The shaft 14, carrying the pinions 15 which operate the toothed segments 12, is driven in a forward or backward direction, so as to advance or retract the digging-member relatively to the arm 1, and thus vary the depth of cut, by wheel trains 35, 36, 15, 37 or 42, 40, 41, which are thrown into and out of action by clutches 16<1> and 16<111> respectively. The wheels 36, 15 run loosely on the shaft 38. Clutches 34 are connected with gearing 18 below the bed of the apparatus and enable the bucket arm to be swung to one side or the other, while a clutch 16 enables the excavator to be advanced bodily to its work. A chain prevents the digging-member and the arms 11 from straightening out and passing over the centre.

Title: Improvements relating to High Tension Ignition Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-07-13
Abstract: 14,825. Soc. Anon. Montbarbon. Aug. 13, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Gas and like engines, igniting in. In the hightension ignition apparatus described in Specification No. 8556, A.D. 1907, the coil is placed within the magneto magnets, the means of fixing it serving to connect it to the magneto, the currentdistributor of which can be insulated from earth for working with emergency batteries. The coil c, Figs. 1 and 2, is slid into grooves in the cover a whereby an earth connexion is made at the rubbing contact i, at e and at d by a fixing spring (not shown), one end of both windings being connected to the case f, the other end of the secondary winding h being connected to the terminal j of the high-tension distributor, and that of the primary winding g to the contact k insulated from the primary collector m, which is earthed, and connected to the contact k<1>. The armature winding b has one end earthed and the other connected to the brush o, so that as long as this brush travels on the collector m, the armature is short-circuited, but when it is on the contacts k or k<1>, the coil g is in circuit thus giving a spark both when the brush enters and leaves either contact. Fig. 5 shows the arrangement when an emergency battery is used, the collector m being insulated, but adapted to be earthed by a lever when the magneto is used, the switch t being placed on the terminal v. When working with the battery, the collector m is insulated, the switch t is placed on the terminal w, the armature is open-circuited, and the brush o earthed, a spark occurring when the current through the coil g is interrupted by the brush passing on to one of the contacts k or k<1>. In order to stop, the switch is placed on the earthed terminal y. In a modification in which a condenser is used, the coil and the condenser are placed in a separate case on the outside of which the switch t and necessary terminals are arranged.

Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 26,622. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 16. Regulating.- Modifications in the means for operating turbine nozzle valves described in Specifications 958/05, 5451/06, and 6855/07, comprise several cams grouped on one shaft, which can be oscillated by a speedresponsive device to bring into action the requisite number of a series of dogs carried by a shaft which is journaled into a frame constantly oscillated by the turbine shaft. The valve-stems 11 are connected to crossheads 13, sliding in guides 14, and are normally all closed, except one at the end, which is held open by a spring 17. Each cross-head is provided with upper and lower shoulders 19, 19<1>, adapted to be engaged by dogs 23 carried on a shaft 20, which is journaled in a rock-arm 21<1> and a lever 21. These arms are constantly oscillated about a shaft 22 by linkage operated by the turbine shaft. The dogs 23 are seated between spacing-sleeves subject to the pressure of a spring 28, so that the dogs tend to remain in any position to which they may be turned. For tilting the dogs, a shaft 30 is employed, which is cut away in the plane of each dog, forming notches 32 having upper and lower shoulders 33, 33<1>, on which one of the tails 25, 25<1> of each dog is adapted to strike when the shaft 30 is turned in the requisite direction by the links 41, 42, which are operated by a speed-responsive device. Each notch 32 is angularly advanced with respect to the preceding notch, so that the dogs are thrown into operation successively, and each valve is opened or shut according as the upper or lower nose of each dog is tilted to engage the corresponding shoulder of the cross-head 13. The dogs 23 are caused to move in substantially straight lines parallel to the cross-heads by means of a vertical rod 43, which is rigidly fixed in the shaft 20 and extends up through a slot 44 in the spacing-sleeve 26 and into a hole 45 in the upper guide 14. A rounded bead 46 prevents the rod from binding.
