Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 23,605. Doudney, R. P., and Bullock, C. A. H. Oct. 25. Drawers.-The drawers of desks, cabinets, chests, and other furniture are adapted to open on pivots situated towards the front of the drawer, and at a point somewhere between the longitudinal centre and one of the ends of the drawer. In the case of a chest of drawers, the pivot may comprise a single rod b passing through all the drawers and secured to each dividing-piece a, the drawers being mounted on the rod by suitable brackets b<1>. To ensure smooth working, bearing-plates b<2> are provided, or if desired ball bearings may be fitted. To enable the drawer to be opened, the ends are curved as shown in Fig. 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Chain Pipe Wrenches and the like.
Inventor: AMBORN GEORGE
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 894. Amborn, G. Jan. 14. Wrenches.-In a chain pipe wrench with reversible toothed jaws, two hook-like members are provided for locking the chain in both positions of the jaw, these members extending towards each other to form a recess between them so that one acts as a lock and the other as a retaining-device. The jaws B, B, toothed at a, a<1> and b, b<1>, have holes g through which they are fixed to the handle by a bolt e, forming the pivot for the chain C, and holes f, f<1> on either side, so that in the forward or reversed position of the jaws, another bolt d may secure the parts rigidly together. The hook members m, n, Fig. 3, are shaped to form a recess o between them in such a way that, when a pintle is in engagement with the recess, the hook m acts as a lock and the recess o as a retaining-device. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the hooks m<1>, n' act as retaining - devices, and abutments m<2>, n<2> as the locking-means, these being arranged so that one pintle is first engaged under n' and the next forward one is moved against the abutment m<2> by a motion perpendicular to the axis of the wrench.

Patent GB-190901828-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Fish Hooks.
Inventor: BUTERBAUGH ELLIS H
IPC: A01K83/02
Filed: 1909-01-25
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 1828. Buterbaugh, E. H. Jan. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Fish - hooks.- Relates to fishhooks of the kind in which a pair of hooks bent from a piece of wire are adapted to distend when tension is put on the line. A pair of fishhooks 5 has at the top a loop 3 which slides on a wire rod 1. A loop 2 on the lower part of the rod embraces the shanks of the hooks, and a spring 4 is placed between n the two hooks. When the fisherman strikes, the spring 3 is contracted and allows the hooks 5 to spring apart and thus hold the fish more firmly.
Patent GB-190902150-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrical Block Signalling Apparatus for Railways and the like.
Inventor: SMITH EDWARD WYTHE
IPC: B61L23/10
Filed: 1909-01-29
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 2150. Smith, E. W. Jan 29. Signalling-instruments.-In order to prevent currents on one signalling-line from affecting the instruments on another line, a contact is arranged in the second line so as to be opened by an electromagnet energized by current in the first line. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, a current in line 17 from a distant station passes through the magnets 2 and contacts 5 to an earth connexion 20. The magnet 2, when energized, breaks the contacts 13 in the circuit from line 18 through magnets 10. Thus it is impossible for currents to pass over the two lines 17, 18 simultaneously, even should the earth connexion be faulty ; very feeble currents sufficient to energize the telephone receiver 19 and warn the operation may, however, pass over the circuits. The contact in the second circuit may be opened by a magnet of a block bell in the first circuit. In a modification, Fig. 3, a magnet 25 in the first circuit polarizes an armature 26, which is moved or not according to the direction of current in the second magnet 30, and the connexions are such that the normal current keeps the circuit closed but a leakage current from the first circuit opens the contact 29.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Tying Up Dogs.
Inventor: CONTZEN ARTHUR
IPC: A01K27/00
Filed: 1909-01-30
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 2264. Contzen, A. Jan. 30. Dog leashes.-A dog leash is composed of a flexible tube with a slip hook attached, together with means for releasing the animal from a distance. As shown in Fig. 1, the flexible tube 4 is formed by winding a metallic wire spirally. At one end the tube is secured to a member 8 with a fixing-piece 5, and at the other end the tube is secured to the slip hook 6, which has a catch 7 pressed up to close the hook by the spring 9. The catch may be withdrawn to release the dog by means of a button connected to the catch. To release the catch from a distance, a cable 12 is attached to it and is passed through the tube 4 and through a protecting- tube 14 to the point from which it is desired to operate the catch. A ring 13 is secured to the cable end, and a spring 15 tends to pull the ring into the normal position, in which the catch is closed. The ring on the collar is engaged by the hooks 1, which are closed on it, and the swivelling portion 3 is then retained by the hook.

In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the end 3 of the sheath or sheaths is gripped between the annular groove 18 on the nut 16 and the rib 19 on the collar 15 screwed on to the pipe. In another modification, both the end of the sheath and a collar are screwed on the pipe, the coupling being secured by a nut as shown in Fig. 1.

Granted: 1910-08-29
Abstract: 15,084. Rees, E. S. G. June 28. Centrifugal e j e c t o r pumps.-In centrifugal ejector pumps, the jet of entraining water is spread or subdivided prior to encountering the gas or vapour to be compressed or condensed. The impeller employed is preferably of the rotary-chamber type as described in Specifications 4810/06, 22,490/06, and 27,615/06, and the spreading may be effected by arranging two jets from the impeller to impinge upon one another, the gas being entrained between the impeller periphery and the casing. When the entraining takes place within the impeller, the spreading may be effected by hoods or grids interposed in the water duct. Figs. 1 and 2 show an arrangement in which the hood d<1> through which the gas passes from the interior a of the impeller obstructs the water nozzle c so that a semicircular sheet is formed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4<a>, the water stream is split up by a grid e placed in front of the gas inlet d at any suitable point in the impeller nozzle. The ribs of the grid may be formed in different ways to give various kinds of water jet. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5<a> the mixed stream passes into a nozzle g, past the end of which a stream of water flows from openings h'. The grid e may be formed in two parts e<1>, e<2>, Fig. 6, attached to nipples e<3>, which contain the gas inlets d, and are screwed into the impeller disks.

Abstract: 10,480. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. April 28. Bobbins and cops for use in loom shuttles are formed with a tapering body portion f, Fig. 2, and a conical nose, the body being of the same or a greater taper than that of the tube on which the yarn is wound, so that the amount of yarn surrounding the tube at the delivery end u is no greater than the amount at the base v of the cop. The mechanism for winding the body of the cop is shown in Fig. 4, the thread guide g being carried on a bifurcated holder h, the arms of which are loosely mounted on a traverse bar i formed with partial and eccentric threads l. A nut j, carrying a contact wheel or friction disk k, is mounted between the arms of the holder and is pressed by a spring m normally to engage the threads l. At the end of each traverse when the guide g is in its rear position, the contact wheel engages with the base of the wooden tube or of the cop when a paper tube is used, the base of the cop being formed in any suitable manner, for example that described in Specification 24,611/08, and is slightly rotated and fed forward along the bar i, thus causing the yarn to be laid in concentric uniform layers f, Fig. 2, the last layer forming the conical nose or delivery end. The contact wheel is arranged to travel in a path inclined to the axis of the winding spindle so as to build the body with a taper, by forming the bar i in two sections pivoted together at p, the swivel bearing n at the outward end of the bar being offset from the plane of the section i<2> towards the axis of the winding spindle. Specification 10,481/10, [Class 120 (ii), Spinning, twisting, &c.], is referred to.
