Title: Method and Arrangements to Kill Animals Living Underneath the Ground.
Inventor: BARUSCHKE BERNHARD
Filed: 1907-04-27
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 9825. Baruschke, B., and Jenckel, G. M. April 27. Hand-pumps; measuring-pumps.-Animals living beneath the ground, such as rats, rabbits, &c., are killed by burning a mixture of carbon bisulphide with benzol or like substance in their burrows. Fig. 1 shows a pump adapted to inject the liquid through a nozzle provided with an electric igniting-device. The stroke of the piston is limited by means of a rod 17 provided with a bolt 18 adapted to engage in one of a number of slots 19. The outlet pipe 6 is provided with a cock 20 to permit of drawing off any remaining liquid, and is connected by means of a hose 7 to a tube 9, the restricted orifice 8 of which is normally closed by a spring-controlled plunger 11. The liquid issues from the nozzle 13 and is sprayed against the plate 14 and is ignited. The nozzle 13 may be formed with an elongated narrow orifice.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Rendering Electrolytic Copper Homogeneous
Inventor: JULLIEN MARCEL ANDRE JULIEN
Filed: 1907-05-30
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 12,563. Jullien, M. A. J., and Dessolle, E. L., [trading as Soc. Jullien et Dessolle]. May 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Surfaces, treating during deposition. -Relates to means for rendering electrolytic copper homogeneous. The copper is deposited on a cathode d on a shaft c driven by a projection f on a disk e engaging a slot in a disk g on an external driving-shaft as shown. A carriage l, capable of moving along a track k, carries a motor m which oscillates a lever p pivoted on the carriage, through a crank n and rod o. The lever p carries a polishing-tool q which is applied with suitable pressure to the cathode surface, tracing thereon a sinusoidal curve about a screw thread; the amplitudes and speeds are so arranged that the adjoining parts of the sinusoidal curve intersect one another. The metal thus treated is suitable for tubes, plates, &c. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specification No. 17,631, A.D. 1891.]
Patent GB-190713833-A (GB)
Title: Netting Machine.
Inventor: KOLLMANN ANTONIO
Filed: 1907-06-14
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 13,833. Kollmann, A. June 14. Net-making.-Netting is made from warp threads a which pass up through holes in vertical needles 11 and from weft threads b carried in shuttles 36, the threads a, b being knotted together as shown in Fig. 4. The threads b are first engaged by hooks 24, which rise and rotate a quarter-turn counterclockwise and then sink and rotate a further threequarters of a turn, as the shuttles 36 pass from left to right, Fig. 8. The needles 11 then rise and pierce the loop so formed while combs 31, Fig. 9, enter and hold the loose threads a on the fabric side of the needles in position for the return of the shuttles between these threads a and the needles to complete the loop, which is then tightened. The needles 11 and hooks 24 are mounted on two bars which are lifted and lowered by tappets. The needle-bar moves a division to the left or right after the formation of knots. The turning movement of the hooks 24 is obtained by the engagement of fixed pins with suitable camgrooves 34, 35, Fig. 12, on the shanks of the hooks. The shuttles are carried in reciprocating carriages, from one to the other of which they pass alternately, the release and engagement being effected by catch-bars worked by cams.

Inventor: JONES DANIEL PALMER
Filed: 1907-11-11
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 24,936. Jones, D. P. Nov. 11. Ladders.-Relates to clamping and supporting devices for scaffold poles, ladders, timbers, and the like. The ends of the two chains connecting two members together take over hooks formed on the corners of a plate 13, said plate bearing against the flanged head 16 of a nut 15, which is carried by a bolt 17 having on its inner end a plate 18 adapted to engage one of the members 1. On the nut being turned, the lateral motion of the plate 13 produces any desired tension in the chains. To support one member while it is being clamped to the other, a supporting bracket is u;ed, one arm 2 of which supports a member while two other arms 5, 6 serve to connect the ends of the clamping- chain 10. The arm 5 is bent at its end to receive one end of the chain 10 ; the arm 6 receives a bolt 7, hooked at one end 8 to receive the other end of the chain 10, and threaded at the other to receive a wing-nut 9. The bracket is secured tightly to the member 2, by turning the wing-nut.

Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 12,257. Renault, L. June 6, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and like engines.-A starting-device particularly applicable to the engines of automobiles is mounted directly on the gear-box and consists of a rack which is depressed by a pedal or hand lever so as to rotate a pinion formed solid with one member of a ratchet clutch arranged between the engine and the gear-box. The pedal 1 has on its shaft 2 a sector gearing with teeth 4 on a rack 5, the teeth 7 on which engage with a pinion 8 running loosely on the change-speed shaft. The pinion is formed in one with the wheel 10 of a ratchet clutch, the other member 13 carrying the pawls being fixed to the shaft. A spring 16 restores the rack and pedal to its first position, in which, and also when fully depressed, the rack is clear of the pinion. A modification is described in which a sector engages a bevel pinion which takes the place of the pinion 8. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), describes also the use of a chain-wheel and chain to operate the ratchet clutch. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 24,845. Simpson, W. S., and Oviatt, H. Nov. 18. [Cognate Application No. 8842, A.D. 1909, dated March 10.] Direct processes of obtaining.-A carbo-hydrate or a compound in which cellulose predominates, such as sugar, starch, sulphite wood pulp, straw pulp, &c., is used as the reducing-agent in the extraction of steel or steel alloys direct from the ore ; the Provisional Specification No. 24,845 refers also to the use of flour. The ore in a comparatively fine state is formed into a paste with an aqueous solution or mixture of the cellulose compound, finely - powdered manganese dioxide, and lime, alumina, silica, or other flux. An addition is also made of finely ground graphite or pure coke corresponding in quantity to the percentage of fixed carbon desired in the steel. The charge is then subjected to a temperature varying from 2600-3000‹ F. or upwards in a Siemens' or other furnace for several hours. In order to produce steel alloys, ores of the desired metals may be mixed with the charge before reduction. The carbohydrate reducing-agent may be augmented by the use of finely-ground carbon which may be added to the charge, or mixed with water and carbohydrate and used as a temporary lining to the furnace. The process is stated to be particularly applicable for the reduction of magnetic iron sand.

Abstract: 9583. Fageol, F. R., and Fageol, R. B. April 22. R a i l w a y s for recreation.-A number of motor-cars &c. on parallel tracks are electrically driven and are continuously and automatically accelerated and retarded so as to race. The cars are started down a slight incline, and at the bottom pick up current from conductors 6, Fig. 5, on T-rails 4. A solenoid 46, Fig. 7, is thus energized, and a pin 49<1> is thrust upwards into one of a series of irregularly-spaced holes in a plate 40 rotated by a worm-wheel 39<1> connected by flexible shafting with the motor 13, Fig. 5. In this way, the motion of the plate is communicated by levers 43, Fig. 7, and 43<1> to another, 36, which drives an arm 44 of a starting-rheostat forwards and backwards, so as to increase and decrease alternately the current supplied to the motor. Thus the cars continually pass and repass each other till the winning-post is reached. The cars run on flangeless rails 1, Fig. 5, and are guided by a trolly which has a wheel 23<1> running on the rail 4 and rollers 24 which engage the sides of the rail. The trolly is pivoted at 22, and is connected by a rod 20 with the steering- mechanism of the car. Side rollers similar to those at 24 are arranged under each axle to prevent the car from jumping the track. The car bodies are made to represent standard makes of motor-cars for purposes of advertisement.
