Patent GB-190711629-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Bottle-washing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1907-05-17
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 11,629. Boult, A. J., [Goldman & Co., E.]. May 17. Toothed gearing. -Relates to the bottle-washing ma chine described in Specification No. 17,003, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Stoppering &c.], and includes the employment of an adapted form of Geneva stop-mechanism for intermittently driving the bottle-carrying rack. The driving- shaft 15, Fig. 2, from which are derived the motions given to the brushes and bottle rack, carries a disk 36 recessed at 37 and having a crank - pin 38. A star - shaped wheel 40, integral with a spur - wheel 43, is intermittently rotated by the crank-pin 38 engaging with one of its notches 41, at other times being prevented from rotating by the periphery of disk 36 bearing against one of the curved edges 42. The spurwheel 43 gears through an idle pinion 44 with a pinion 45, the spindle 46 of which carries a crosshead 47, Fig. 3, terminating in studs 48. These studs engage with flanges 49 formed upon the top disk 50 of the bottle rack, the arrangement being such that at each rotation of the shaft 15 the crosshead 47 swings through an angle of 180 degrees. The rack is thus intermittently rotated through an angle subtended by a flange 49, being otherwise held stationary, by both studs occupying the position shown in Fig. 3.

Title: Improvements in Hackling Machines for Flax and other Long Staple Fibres.
Filed: 1908-02-22
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 3998. Greeves, J. & T. M., Eves, R. V., and Shaw, P. Feb. 22. Heckling-machines; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Transferring-devices for heckling-machines of the kind described in Specifications No. 17,437, A.D. 1899, No. 16,010, A.D. 1901, and No. 16,229, A.D. 1904, are modified so as to obviate the loss of time caused by the dwell of the main channel at the bottom of its stroke while the transfer is effected. The turntable C, Fig. 2, is mounted on a bracket c slidably mounted in a guide c', and is normally pressed upwards by a weighted lever D so that it is kept in its uppermost position with its adjustable stop d<1> pressed against the bottom of the guide c<1>. The main channel A has an arm a projecting from its end, the arm carrying a pin a' which, when the main channel descends, strikes the bracket c and depresses it and the turntable C, so that the holder is transferred from the main channel to the turntable without any dwell of the main channel. In a modification, the turntable bracket c, Fig. 4, is held in its slide c<1> by a spring catch c<4>, and the main channel A has at its end a pair of spring clips E adapted to engage a spear-head catch e<2> and depress it as the main channel moves downwards. The spear-head catch is connected by bell-crank linkage F, f<1> to the bracket c, so that the bracket and turntable move downwards with the main channel and then rise with it until the spring catch c<4> engages its socket and prevents any further upward movement of the turntable. In another modification, the height of the turntable C, Fig. 6, remains constant, and a bridge-piece a<2> is attached to the end of the main channel A and connects the main channel with a supplementary channel G, which is slidably mounted by means of projections g<4> on vertical rods a<4> projecting from the bridgepiece. Adjustable screws g mounted in laterally projecting arms on the supplementary channel are adapted to engage stops g<2> on the framework, so that the supplementary channel slides on the rods a' and is kept at a level with the turntable while the main channel is making the bottom portion of its stroke. In another modification, the supplementary channel is hinged to the main channel, and is adapted to catch against the end of the turntable as the main channel moves downwards and to be tilted into an inclined position so that the transfer can be effected without any dwell of the main channel at the bottom of its stroke.

Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 4098. Knox, T. Feb. 24. Cellar covers, coal-plates, and the like.-To prevent loss by theft of a plug of a ships' deck plate for example, the plug 2, Fig. 1, is made circular and has a hooked-shaped projection 5 which projects into a recess 6 in the deck plate, the recess being closed by a cover plate 7 secured by screws 8 inserted from below. The recess 6 permits of the plug being swung up to open the deck plate, and also rotated one quarter of a revolution in order that it may be drawn tightly on its seating, undercut lugs 10 then engaging with helical ribs 11. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, its hook-shaped projection is replaced by a link 5<a>, pivoted at one end to the deck plate and at the other to a swivel piece of the plug. In place of the lugs 10 and helical ribs 11 the lower end of the plug may be screw-threaded to engage an internal thread in the deck plate.

Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 6460. Marks, E. C. R., [Crawford, McGregor, & Canby Co.]. March 23. Lasts.-Relates to means for indicating or demonstrating visually the relation of the heel contour of a last to the contour of the forepart, and is particularly intended for use in connexion with the lasts described in Specification No. 25,359, A.D. 1907. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, a plate 2 secured to a base 1 is cut out accurately at its front edge to the contour 5 of a standard heel, and two sole-plates 3, 4, of the contour of the two lasts to be compared, are secured to the base by a thumb-screw 6. the positions which these sole-plates take up being thus shown with respect to each other or to an axis line 12. In a modification, the parts 1, 2, &c. are substituted by a vertical wall, approximately of the form of the usual shoe counter, bent under and secured to the sole-plate 3 or 4. With this form, the demonstration can be given direct on the foot of the customer &c. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the forepart 16 of a last is adapted to receive, by means of a dovetailed connexion &c., various heel parts 17, each of which is provided with an indicating- arm 18. These arms indicate, over the forepart 16, the central line of lasts corresponding to the contours of the different heel parts. In the modifications shown in Figs. 10 and 11, a heel part 27 is so connected to the forepart 16 of the last that the axial relationship of the two can be adjusted or varied.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Neutralising Inductive Disturbances due to Electric Traction Systems.
IPC: B60M1/06
Filed: 1909-01-07
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 466. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 7. Systems adapted specially for alternating current.-Relates more particularly to electric railway systems using alternating current, and consists in means for neutralizing the inductive disturbances due to such systems upon adjacent conductors. For this purpose an auxiliary conductor is carried in proximity to the usual outgoing conductor, and a current of equal and opposite quantity is caused to flow therein. In order to neutralize also the electrostatic effect of the system, voltages of substantially like value but different sign are impressed upon the usual and auxiliary conductors. Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically a railway system with means for neutralizing both the electro-magnetic and electrostatic inductive disturbances. The conductors 2, 2<1> are connected to the transformer 7 as shown, so as to have voltages of like value but different sign. Transformers 6, having the same number of turns in each winding, cause a current of equal but opposite quantity to flow in each conductor. Compensators 10 connecting the conductors 2, 2<1> and the rails 3 are placed at intervals.
