Title: Improvements in or relating to Piston Hand Pumps, for Preventing Undesired Outward Movement of the Plunger when Trust Home in the Barrel.
Inventor: KERR JAMES BORTHWICK
Filed: 1906-09-04
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 19,684. Kerr, J. B. Sept. 4. Piston hand pumps. -To prevent the plunger of a piston hand - pump from moving outwardly when the pump is not in use, a split collar A is screwed to the barrel, and a stop collar g engaging a groove e is provided. After use, the plunger is pushed home, the split portion d<2> opening and closing again over the stop. Other kinds of stops may be used in combination with the split collar, which is preferably made of phosphor bronze. The invention is specially applicable to air - pumps for the fuel tanks and tyres of motor road vehicles, to lubricating-pumps, and the like.
Patent GB-190624533-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Signalling Apparatus for Railways.
Inventor: BEVAN ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-11-02
Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 24,533. Bevan, A. Nov. 2. Switches, for setting railway lamp signals at each end of a block when a train enters the section, and for leaving the signal so that it will be re-set by the last train leaving the section, are modified so that the signal at the entering end is flashed each time a car enters the section. Fig. 2 shows the apparatus at one end of the section. Each train entering the section closes a switch and energizes the magnets 4 at the opposite end of the section. The armature 11 is attracted and moves about the pivot 10, causing the arm 14 to rest against the ratchet-wheel 18, and further movement causes the arm 14 to swing on the links 15, 16, depressing the outer end of the arm 14 through an increased stroke, and moving the ratchet-wheel through the distance of one tooth by a comparatively small stroke of the armature 11. During this stroke, the switch 61, 62 is opened and closed, and so extinguishes and relights the green lamp 50 at the entrance end of the section, indicating that the apparatus is in working order. The ratchet - wheel 18 moves the arm 21, which engages the contact-arm 28 when in its normal position, and closes the contact 28, 30 as the first car enters the section. The piece 28 is held in both its positions by the spring 64 whenoperated by the arm 21. The switch 28 controls the circuit to the magnets 33 operating the switch 41 and the semaphore disk 32 through a drum over which a chain passes. The switch arm 41 is connected to the shaft 38, on which contactsprings 47 bear. When the magnet 33 is energized, the switch 41 closes the circuit at the contact 43, and energizes a corresponding lamp 50 at the entrance end. This circuit also includes a magnet which serves to close the circuit of a spare lamp if the distant lamp 50 is not in order. Each train, after the first, on entering the section causes the ratchet-wheel 18 to move one step farther; and also causes a flashing of the lamp 50. As each train passes clear of the section, the magnets 6 are energized, and cause the ratchet to move. in the reverse direction, and, as the last train clears the section, the arm 21 opens the switch 28 and allows the arm 32 to move clear of the lamp 49, which is also provided with a duplicate lamp to be inserted in the circuit by the magnet 52.

Abstract: 8865. Mathelot et Gentilhomme. April 30, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Kinematographs &c.-In a method of synchronizing two motors, such as the driving-motors of a phonograph and kinematograph, high-tension current is used for actuating the motors and lowtension current for effecting the proper distribution of the high-tension current. The machines A, A', suitably driven from the motors B, B<1>, are provided with arms C, C<1>, which close the contacts D, D', in the circuits of the magnets E, E', once for each revolution of the machine. The magnets E, E', intermittently rotate the toothed wheels G, G<1>, of which one, G, carries a contact-brush G" bearing on the face of the other wheel, which is provided with two contact-strips G<111>, G<4>, Fig. 3, separated by insulation G<5>, The brush G<11> and the contactstrips G<111>, G<4> are respectively connected to the contact-rings H, I, J. As long as the two motors are in synchronism, the brush G" rests upon the insulation G<5>, but, if one motor lags, the brush engages one or other of the contacts G<111>, G<4>, thus supplying current to one or other of the magnets K, K<1> of a switch L<11>, L<111>, N, N', N" adapted to reverse the armature-connexions of a motor O geared to the movable contact-arms P, P<1> of a rheostat Q, parts of which are in the circuits of the driving-motors B, B<1>. The armature L of the reversing-switch is also adapted to short-circuit the rheostat resistance Q in the circuit of the lagging motor by completing a circuit through the core of the magnet K or K<1> and the wire k or h<1>. The relative position of the contact-arms P, P<1> of the rheostat can be varied so as to drive the motors B, B' at other speeds while still preserving their synchronous relation. The controlling- switches V, V<1>, when turned to the right, complete the circuit of a low-tension battery, but, when they are turned to the left, the whole of the synchronizing-apparatus is put out of action, and the motors may then be approximately regulated. A single motor may be used by closing the corresponding switch V or V<1>.
