Title: Attachment to Horns for Sound Reproducing Instruments.
Inventor: ROSE OVEREND GEORGE
Filed: 1906-11-27
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 26,968. Rose, O. G. Nov. 27. Phonographs &c.-An attachment for the trumpets of phonographs &c. consists of a number of disks, maintained at a suitable distance apart by wires or retainers. This device is fixed inside the trumpet, and is stated to have the effect of analyzing the sound, so that the various instruments appear to be located in the same relative positions as those which they occupied when the record was made. A number of disks 1, 2, Fig. 1, are secured parallel to each other by wires 3. The disks are made of metal, fibre, vulcanite, leather, or other suitable material, and vary in size. With the exception of the two end disks, they are annular and the central or supporting disk is preferably thicker than the others. With long horns, a sound-box is fitted to an annular disk on the inner end of the attachment. In a modification, a small imperforate disk, preferably of the same diameter as the apertnre of the last annular disk, is suspended by wires to a ring inside the trumpet. The disks are not necessarily annular, and flat spiral coils may be substituted for them. Flexible connectors may be used, thus permitting the device to be folded up.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Anti-breakage Apparatus for Loading Vessels with Coal.
Inventor: MACAULAY JOHN
Filed: 1907-07-08
Granted: 1908-07-08
Abstract: 15,702. Macaulay, J., and Pattinson, J. July 8. Loading and unloading; shoots; skips.-In a shoot and skip device for coaling ships, the skip is filled from the shoot by means of shutters worked by an hydraulic ram, and is used to form a pile of coal which afterwards cushions the fall of the coal from the shoot. The shoot is provided at its lower end with shutters closed by an hydraulic ram r through ropes 8. The skip c is hoisted by a rope d, and its halves are connected by links f at each end to sliding blocks h, to which are secured ropes coiled over the drum m and kept taut by a counterweight o. In operation, the skip is brought below the mouth of the shoot and the shutters are allowed to open. When the skip is full, the shutters are closed and the skip is lowered until it is near to the bottom of the ship ; the drum m is then braked by pulling on the rope u and the blocks h are thereby held. The skip is opened by the continued lowering of the frame w and is kept open by pins 4 which engage with projections 3 on the frame. The ship is then raised well clear of the coal and is closed by braking the drum again and lowering the rope d; the pins 4 then slip past the projections 3 and, on the rope being hoisted again, pass inside the projections and allow the halves of the skip to come together.

Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 22,486. Longinus, L. W. Oct. 11. Stoppers, vacuum -closing.-The bottle &c. neck is formed with an internal shoulder b, upon which rests a cork ring c and a closing-disk d, provided with a central tube f, having a valve g at the top. A disk h, fitting the bottle neck and the tube f closely, is placed above the disk d, and a cap i is placed over the valve g. A liquid, such as glycerine, or an easily melted solid, is placed in the space R, and the bottle is heated as usual to expel the air, which escapes by the valve g. On cooling, the liquid from the space R enters the cap i and produces an hermetic closure. In a modification, an ordinary cork, fitted with a valve tube such as f, is pushed well into the neck of a bottle &c. so as to leave a space above the cork corresponding with the space R. The seal is then completed as described with a cap i and liquid.

Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 22,516. Ainsworth, A. W., and Anderton, R. Oct. 12. Rollers and roller heads ; special yarns, producing.-Yarns or threads of uneven diameters are produced without incorporating with the yarns or threads being treated any additional yarns or threads. At one end of the machine, the back roller d, Fig. 3, is driven from the front roller b, which is rotated at regular speeds, by toothed gearing consisting of the wheels h, k, the mutilated pinion p, and the wheel q. At the same or the other end of the machine, the back roller is connected to the front roller by suitable friction gearing such as a belt s, Fig. 2, driven by the pulley r and driving a pulley t provided with a wheel u which drives the wheel v on the back roller. The middle roller f is geared to the roller d in the usual manner, and the wheels are so proportioned that the motion of the roller d transmitted by the friction gearing is greatly in excess of that transmitted by the toothed gearing. The pinion p drives the roller d, the belt s slipping over the pulleys, until a mutilated part arrives at the teeth of the wheel q, when the roller d is driven by the friction gearing and so delivers more than the normal amount of yarn to the front roller. The number of thickened places and the distances they are apart are regulated by varying the number of mutilated parts in the pinion p. According to the Provisional Specification, a second set of mutilated gear-wheels may be used in place of the belt or friction gearing described above.

Granted: 1910-01-17
Abstract: 1156. Grimsdale, W. H. Jan. 16. Actions; expression, controlling.-In a pneumatic piano-player, the strength of individual notes is varied in accordance with the size of the musicsheet apertures by employing valves of balanced construction in the passages leading to the striking-pneumatics. Each primary pneumatic opens the corresponding valve to an extent depending on the amount of air which enters the tracker-duct. In consequence of its balanced construction, the valve g, h, Fig. 2, is not subject to the usual initial restraint due to the difference of pressure between the suction chest c and striking-pneumatic b, and it opens therefore to an extent which is determined only by the expansive force of the primary pneumatic f and the opposition of the spring r. After striking a note, the pneumatic b is flooded with air by a bleed-hole t and valve s ; or the bleed-hole may be dispensed with, the valve s being constructed in a balanced form and connected to the valve g, h. The valves g, h may be at opposite ends of a lever, or may be hinged and connected by a link. A valve is shown in Fig. 4 having a boss to graduate the aperture it produces on opening.
