Patent GB-190828279-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 28,279. Fell, J. C., [Monarch Typewriter Co.]. Dec. 28. Typewriters.-In brakes for controlling the speed of the paper-carriage when released as for tabulating, a lost-motion connexion is introduced so that the carriage may travel some distance before the brake begins to act. Fig. 1 shows a machine of the " Monarch " class provided with a tabulating-device of the kind in which a stop 30 on the papercarriage 8 co-operates with column-stops 32 on a rock-shaft 33, the carriage being fed by tilting the rack 14 out of gear with an escapement-pinion 16. The brake is preferably of the kind in which radial arms work in a drum containing liquid or shot. The brake-drum 66 is formed with a sleeve 63 in which is journaled a shaft 64 carrying the radial arms 65 and a pinion 78. The sleeve 63 is pivoted in a bracket 60 and connected by a forked link 59 to a lever 52 engaged at the other end by a collar 50 on a rod 38 connected to an arm on the shaft 33 and operated by a tabulating-key 49. The pinion 78 is normally clear of the rack 14, but, when the key 49 is depressed to throw in the column-stops 32, the sleeve 63 is raised and causes the pinion 78 to engage the rack 14, thereby tilting it out of gear with the escapementpinion 16 and permitting the spring drum 26 to draw the carriage to the left. The pinion 78 is loose on the shaft 64 and is not connected therewith until the pinion has made nearly one revolution, thereby permitting the carriage to travel say fifteen letter-spaces before the brake begins to act. The lost-motion connexion consists of a pin 82 secured to the hub 77 of the pinion 78 and a sleeve 70 secured to the shaft 64 by a screw 76 and provided with a stop 72. The pin 82 is held against the stop 72 by a hair spring 81 secured to the rim of the sleeve 70 and passed at the other end through a hole in the hub 77. When the pinion 78 engages the rack 14, it is rotated but does not rotate the shaft 64 until the fan 82 has been turned as shown in Fig. 8 to engage the other side of the stop 72. When the tabulating-key is released, the pin 82 is restored by the spring 81 to the normal position shown in Fig. 4. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, means are provided for throwing the pinion into engagement with the shaft 64 before the pinion has made a revolution. The hub 84 carries a pin 85 normally engaging the stop 72 and also carries a pin 87 which may be secured in one of a series of tapped holes 86. When the pinion is rotated it runs freely until the pin 82 engages the stop 72, whereupon the brake is applied. In a further modification, an additional loose sleeve is inserted between the pinion 78 and the sleeve 70 and is provided with projections for engaging the pin 82 and the stop 72 so that the pinion 78 may make more than one revolution before it is connected to the shaft 64.

Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 11,810. Dubois, J. L. May 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Siphon-discharge water-waste preventers.-When the lever D is actuated by the pull, the bell B is raised by the engagement of a pivoted catch H<1> with a link B' carried by the bell, The link is wedge-shaped, and, by its contact in rising with a roller F<1> on the elongated valve-stem G<3>, opens the supply valve G against the pressure of the water assisted by a weight G<1>, When the roller passes a shoulder P, the bell is held in raised position until the suction of the flush draws it down ; the flush then continues with the bell as shown, and the valve G closed. In cases where the water pressure is small, the starting of the siphon is accelerated by fitting in the crown of the siphon a disk B<2> Fig. 3, to narrow the rounded entrance to the long leg C.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Clicking and similar Machines.
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1908-07-24
Granted: 1909-07-26
Abstract: 14,155. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 24, 1908. Presses. mechanical. - In presses, particularly clicking-presses for cutting out sectional heel lifts or the like, means are provided whereby the operation of the machine is prevented if the workman's hand or finger is between the platen and the work. In the case of a clicking-press, the work is placed on one of a number of cutting-out knives A<2> arranged in an arc, and a platen F carried by a swinging arm B' is brought over the work. The platan F is secured upon a spindle F<1>, which passes up through the head B<2> of the arm B<1> into a sleeve G, to which an operating-lever H is pivoted. The spindle F<1> has a head F<2> spring-held against a shoulder in the sleeve G, and this sleeve has an extension sliding in a hole in the head B' and resting on a spring J therein. The lever H is pivoted upon a link H<3> pivoted upon the arm B<1>, and serves to turn the arm B<1> about its supporting-pillar, and to lower the platen F upon the work, when an abutment G@ on the sleeve G depresses the clutch-operating arm L and operates the press by means of the usual trip mechanism and clutch. Pivoted on the head B' is a trigger K, which normally rests under the arm L. The toe of the trigger engages with a groove F3 formed round the spindle F<1>, and, if a finger or other obstruction remains between the olaten and the work, the trigger is not tilted sufficiently to release the arm L and permit the operation of the press. The device may be employed in a press which is manually operated throughout, or is operated by power throughout.

Inventor: FABRY RENE
IPC: C10K1/10
Filed: 1910-03-31
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 7766. Fabry, R. March 31. - Ammonium sulphate.-Coal gas is cooled to separate tar and either no water or enough water to condense a part of the fixed ammonium salts, say two-thirds. The gas is then passed into a saturator containing acidified ammonium sulphate, the saturator being preferably provided with a heat-retaining cover. The gas from the saturator containing some hydrochloric and sulphurous acids from the remainder of the fixed ammonia in the gas, is then passed into a washer containing spent ammoniacal liquor containing excess of lime, which may be that formed by the distillation of the ammoniacal condensate obtained by the preliminary cooling. If no condensate was thus obtained, milk of lime is used for the final washings The ammonia obtained by the above distillation is returned to the hot crude gas.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Condensing Steam Engines.
Inventor: DAVIDSON JOHN
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1910-06-29
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 15,588. Davidson, J. June 29. Exhaust, treating. - A draining-valve for a condensing engine is arranged to act as a compression-relief valve when the condenser vacuum fails. The invention is especially applicable to terminal-exhaust engines. The draining-valve a is pressed to its seat by a spring d, which yields to allow condensation water to escape by the passage f and pipe g to the condenser. The spring d rests on a valve h, which is kept closed by a weak spring k, and by the pressure of live steam admitted by a valve l, which is normally open. At starting the valve l is closed, thus permitting the valve a to open to permit the escape of condensation water against the action of the spring k only. Should the condenser vacuum fail, a valve in the pipe g automatically closes. Compression steam escaping by the valve a then opens the valve h and escapes to the live-steam supply, opening the valve l against the action of a spring n should the valve l be inadvertently left closed.
