Title: Improvements in Car Ventilators.
Inventor: GARLAND THOMAS HENRY
Filed: 1908-03-23
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 6455. Garland, T. H. May 10,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Ventilating.-Car ventilators are constructed with a series of transversely disposed conduits, the outer pair being provided with oppositely facing cowls which have an induction action on the intermediate conduits. Transverse conduits A', A<2>, A<3>, communicating with the interior of the car through a valved inlet C, are mounted on the roof B of the car, and the inner ends of the cowls E, E<1> are bent laterally to discharge towards the outlet ends of the conduits A', A<3>. The inrushing air has an induction effect in the conduit A', and when discharged exhausts the air from the conduits A', A<3>. As the construction is symmetrical, the operation of the device is independent of the direction of travel of the car. In a modification, two of the ventilators are mounted one above the other on the roof, the upper ventilator communicating with the roof and the lower one through the duct I, Fig. 4, with a lower part of the car such as a sleeping-berth. The inlet end of the duct is provided with a damper. The Specification in the original form, as open to public inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also means for applying a ventilator of this type to the top of a box car in such a manner as tu educt air upwar is through an opening in the car roof. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-190807421-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Gear Calculating Instrument
Inventor: FELLOWS HUGH WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-04-03
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 7421. Fellows, H. W. April 3. Calculating-apparatus.-A device for determining various angles and lengths required in turning blanks for bevel-gears comprises a pair of arms 1, 2, one of which is provided with a slot 3 along which an angle-plate 13, guided by studs 14, 15, is adapted to slide with its edge perpendicular to the slot. The stud 15 passes through a slot 19 in a blade 18, adapted to be clamped with either edge passing through the stud, and on the blade slides a crossbar 28. A pointer 27 slides laterally and longitudinally on the arm 1. The various parts of the device are graduated, the arms 1, 2, when the English system is employed, being each provided with four scales 4 &c., 4<a> &c., divided respectively into various fractions of an inch. The scales on the arm 1 start from the central line of the slot 3, and those on the arm 2 start respectively from points beneath the corresponding scales on the arm 1. In use, the edge of plate 13 having been set to the semidiameter, say 2¢ inches, of one cone B, on the scale 5 for example, the edge 21 of the blade 18 is set to the semidiameter of the other cone A on the scale 5<a>, and the centre angle z is read off from the angle-plate. The difference between this and 90 degrees gives the angle u of the back cone. The blade 18 is then swung out, and the cross-bar 28 is so disposed that the first division on the scale 5<b> coincides with the 2¢ inches division on the scale 5<a>, thus giving the outside turning angle x on the plate 13. The pointer 27 set to the intersection of the scales 5<b>, and 21 shows on the scale 5<a> the outside semi-diameter Z. The edge 20 is then set to pass through the stud 15, and the blade is swung inwards until the first division on the scale 5<b> coincides with the 2¢ inches division on the scale 5<a>, thus giving the cutting-angle y on the angle-plate. The length v of the tooth is obtained by taking a third of the length read on the block 18 when it is intersected by the cross-bar. In a similar manner, by setting the semi-diameter of the cone A on the arm 2, the data for the cone B may be obtained.

Title: A Self-locking Catch-pocket for Receiving Ownership-denoting Tallies, or Tokens, Arranged for an Electrical Release.
Inventor: DENISON GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1908-07-03
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 14,124. Denison, G. H. July 3. Label-holders.-A self-locking holder for attaching ownership tallies to miners' trucks and the like is arranged to be released by means of an electro-magnet. A tally A of metal or other material has an indentation into which an iron bolt C automatically enters when the tally is inserted in the catch pocket. The bolt C is held down by its weight or a light spring and is raised by the use of a solenoidal electro-magnet H, Fig. 3, which can be fitted over the non-magnetic sheath E enclosing the bolt. The magnet H is small, and just fits under a ledge G, so that a larger electro-magnet could not be used. A pin J passing through the sheath E, and engaging a flat on the bolt C, prevents the bolt from twisting and limits its downward movement.
Patent GB-190814407-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Wrapping for the Mail Newspapers, Magazines and like Publications.
Inventor: HUTCHINSON IRA RUSSEL
Filed: 1908-07-07
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 14,407. Hutchinson, I. R. July 7. Wrapping-up newspapers &c.-In a machine for folding newspapers &c. and applying a paper wrapper thereto to receive an address for mailing, the newspapers, already folded twice, are piled above a. reciprocating slide b which transfers them one by one to feed rolls d, e, whence they pass between jaws g. f of a wrapping-mandrel. The jaws are initially open to receive the paper, as shown in Fig. 7, but, when revolved through 90 degrees, are pressed together by a restricted part of their journal 35 to grip the paper. The delivery of one newspaper only at a time is ensured by a spring 55. A strip of paper for the wrapper, supplied from the roll SS, passes between the bottom of the pile and the slide b and is fed between the jaws g, f along with the newspaper, an overlap being left for the sealing-paste before the required length is severed by a knife h, i. The paste is applied from a trough 60, which descends and deposits a line of paste at the same time that the cutter severs the wrapper. A sector 16 rotates the wrapping-mandrel three times in one direction, and then three in the reverse direction, with intermediate periods of rest, and, as three revolutions are required to wrap a newspaper, the capacity of the machine may be doubled by arranging a second paper-feeding device &c. at the other side of the mandrel. To avoid tearing the newspaper along the thick folds on the marginal edges, the newspaper projects beyond the end of the mandrel and the projecting portion is caused to roll evenly with the main portion, by the action of a presser-plate t. In addition, a removable presser-foot w. may be used. After a wrapping operation, a pair of rotating rollers m, p, Fig. 5; mounted; together with the presser-plate t, on a slide 26, 27, advances, grips the overlapping end of the newspaper, and; whilst retiring to its original position, draws the paper from the mandrel. These rollers serve the additional function of flattening the paper to facilitate addressing.

Abstract: 15,546. Davis, G., and Brown, W. July 22. Spring wheels; disk wheels ; tyres, pneumatic &e. spokes ; hubs; felloes or rims.-R e l a t e s to wheels of the kind in which spokes, hub, and rim are divided transversely to the axle to facilitate dismounting the tyre. The two hub parts are formed with ordinary clutch members a, Fig. 2. The rim parts R, Fig. 4, are connected to the hub by disks d only, by spokes b only, or by disks strengthened by spoke-like parts, each of which is formed inside with radial undercut projections r, Figs. 2 and 3. The parts are put together with the tyre interposed, turned somewhat, and fixed by bolts passed through the rim. The pneumatic tyre, Fig. 10, is formed along the inside of one edge of the cover with a flap (not shown) adapted to lie against the adjacent edge and so prevent nipping of the air tube. At points along the edges, projections b are attached by pins c and adapted to engage recesses M, Fig. 4, in the rim. The tyre may be used without an outer rim, but as shown in Fig. 2 a rim f is used which, in the modification for twin tyres shown in Fig. 5, may be formed with a web passing between the rim parts. The underside of the outer rim is formed at its edges with angular clutch-like projections, which engage by a turning movement with similar recesses in the flanged edges of the side plates E. The parts are then locked by bolts e and connected by inner bolts i, which pass between the spokes or through apertures in the disks. The rim is formed with flanges n, and a solid elastic tyre p may be replaced by the pneumatic tyre which is then carried by detachable members s formed similarly to the rim. In another modification for twin tyres the wheel is formed in three parts, the centre part having engaging members on both sides, so that it can be fitted between the two parts of the single form, Fig. 2.
