Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Percussive Drills and similar Tools
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-08-23
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 18,882. Allison, C. A., [Iler Rock Drill Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 23. Percussive hand-tools.-Relates to a pneumatic tool such as a rock drill of the type having a free piston and a differential valve against the smaller area of which there is constant pressure, the piston controlling supply to exhaust from the other area, and the hammer and valve moving in the same directions. The valve is hollow to receive the reduced end of the piston and is moved forwardly by intermittent pressure. When the position of the tool is as shown in Fig. 10, air passes through passage 8 in the handle, passages 13, Fig. 1, groove 14, into the space behind the piston 32, which is driven out, exhaust passing through ports 43, passage 31, groove 16 in the casing, part 17 of chamber, ports 19, 20, chamber 58, and thence into the atmosphere. Exhaust may take place through a port 44, and either into the atmosphere through a port 46 in a rotary sleeve 47, or through passages 45, 51, ports 52 in a bushing 53, and passage 38 formed by a plate 39 and one of the grooves of a cruciform bit. The sleeve has a slot 48 moving over a pin 49, and when the pin is opposite point D both passages 45, 46 are out of action. The piston strikes a tappet 56, engaging the shank of the bit, which is held in a bushing 36 made fast in the shell 35 by a screwed sleeve engaging the collar 41. Rubber gasket 57 is used inside the sleeve to exclude cuttings or dust. When the piston in its outward stroke uncovers port 33, driving-fluid passes down the passage 30 behind the larger area of the valve, which is driven forward. Air now passes through port 13, semicircular recess 29, Fig. 3, in the collar 27 on the valve, groove 16, passage 31, and port 43 to return the piston. Exhaust passes out by the back of the valve through port 19, chamber 58, &c. When the pressure behind the valve is sufficiently reduced air from the port 13 acting on the shoulder B of the valve returns it, the area of the shoulder being varied according to the acting pressure. When the piston enters the valve, the chamber 50 in rear of the piston is cut off from exhaust and the piston is cushioned.

Abstract: 23,020. Dow, W. S., and Smith, E. J. Oct. 17. Rotary machines; feeding - apparatus for webs; cutting and perforating apparatus; delivery apparatus. - I n a n all - size rotary printing-machine, the web is passed from a roll D at a constant but alterable speed past t a combined looping and feeding device W to the perfecting-couples A A<1>, B B<1>. These revolve uniformly, whatever the length of sheet desired, but the web is given an intermittent motion between them by the combined feeding and looping devices W, of greater or less extent according to the length of the sheet. After passing the second looping-device, the web moves at a uniform speed to the cutting-cylinders 1, 2, which are driven by variable-speed gear which allows the cutting cylinders to move at a variable speed equal to the speed of the web at cutting, while the actual number of revolutions is always the same as that of the printing-cylinders. The sheets are either led to folding &c. devices at 3 or to a flat delivery at 4. The loopers W, W, which are positively driven so as to act also as feeders, are arranged to balance each other, and are driven by a cam Y which is changed for every different length of sheet. Specification No. 17,977, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Patent GB-190702356-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes for Producing Two-coloured or Many-coloured Effects in Fabrics Dyed in the Piece.
Inventor: BIEDERMANN ROBERT OSKAR
Filed: 1907-01-30
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 2356. Biedermann, R. O. Jan. 30. Dyeing.-Effects in two or more colours are produced on fabrics by a method stated to be unaffected by preliminary dressing-processes, such as singeing, crabbing, steaming, or boiling. Prior to weaving, a suitable metallic powder or dust, for example zinc, aluminium, &c., is fixed insolubly on part of the undyed thread with a suitable binding- substance, e.g. albumen or collodion. The fabric is treated with a dye reducible by hyposulphites (hydrosulphites) but not by sulphurous acid, and is then passed through a warm sulphurous acid bath. The hyposulphite formed reduces the colour locally. Variegated effects result upon colouring the thread before impregnation with a dye not reducible by hyposulphite. According to another modification, to obtain an imitation of goods with a black warp with ornamental threads, the cotton warp of a half-wool fabric is dyed with a black azodye reducible by hyposulphite, followed by local discharging as described. The wool is dyed with any black acid dye that does not affect the whiteness of the cotton.

Granted: 1908-03-02
Abstract: 2523. Gibbons, W. P., Reed, E. A., and Baddeley, H. Jan. 31. Conveyers.-Relates to band conveyers for use in mines, and consists in means whereby the conveyer may be worked in other than a straight line. Fig. 1 shows a plan of one form of the invention, and Fig. 10 shows a joint of the conveyer band. The framework of the conveyer is made in short sections of parallel tubes or rods, so connected that they can be arranged at an angle to follow the working face a, b. The end sections carry the driving and tensioning drums respectively, the latter being adjusted by means of screws. The conveyer band is made in short sections connected by a pin 16 which passes through wire loops 14, 15, made longer towards the edges of the band so that each band section can have some lateral angular movement relative to the next. A short plate 19, indicated by the broken lines, covers the band joint and is secured to one section by rivets 20. Instead of a band in short sections, the arrangement shown in Fig. 12 may be adopted. Two or more separate straight conveyers G, H, made up of the short sections, are connected at an angle, so that the cover H, which is driven in the ordinary manner, may drive the conveyer G through a universal joint and the gear shown. Specifications Nos. 11,273 and 14,953, A.D. 1904, and No. 320, A.D. 1906, are referred to.

Patent GB-190709145-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Apparatus for use in Manoeuvring Ships.
Inventor: GRANT HERBERT CHARLES JOHN
Filed: 1907-04-19
Granted: 1908-04-22
Abstract: 9145. Grant, H. C. J. April 19. Determining and plotting bearings and courses.- Apparatus for use in manoeuvring ships comprises a plotting surface c, surrounded by circular scales a, b, a pivoted radial arm d which sweeps the scales, and a T-shaped cursor y carried by the arm and having two scales e, f marked with equal divisions. For convenience in laying off bearings or courses by the transverse limb of the cursor, the quadrants of the outer scale in which the radial arm must be set are indicated on the plotting table. Thus the N to E and the S to W quadrants are each marked N & W or S & E, and the other two are marked N & E or S & W. To prevent the scale f from being raised from the plotting surface by the central pivot, a spring hinged section g<1> is provided at its centre. The circular scales a, b are mounted so that they can be set in May position. The following illustration is given of the method of using the apparatus. The flag-ship is steaming N. 15‹ W. at 14 knots. The forming ship has a speed of 16 knots and is 6 knots away on the starboard beam of the flap-ship. What course should the forming ship steer to bring her 2 knots in advance of the flag-ship ? (1) Assuming the flag-ship to be at the centre of the board, her course is plotted by turning the radial arm d to a quadrant marked N & W, setting the index b<1> to the 15‹ division of the outer scale b, and drawing a line from the centre of the board along the edge of the plotting scale f. (2) On this line a point D 2 knots from the centre and a point G 14 knots from the centre are marked. (3) The arm d is swung counter -clockwise through an angle of ninety degrees and the present positio P of the forming ship is marked. (4) A line is drawn through G parallel to the line joining D, P, by setting the plotting scale along the line D, P and sliding the cursor the required distance. (5) The cursor is slid out 16 divisions on the scale e. (6) The plotting scale is turned until the zero division lies on the line through the point G. There will be two positions fulfilling these conditions. The correct one is easily determined by inspection. (7) The reading on the inner scale a opposite the index a<1> gives the required course of the forming ship. For convenience in laying off distances in anchoring and mooring problems, the radial arm d is preferably engraved with equivalent scales h of yards, fathoms, shackles, and cables, which are read with respect to an index i on the cursor.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Maximum demand Electrical Meters.
Filed: 1908-01-06
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 468. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges.]. Jan. 8. Current and energy meters. - The non - return pointer of a maximum-demand indicator is driven for predetermined periods from a constant-speed motor, such as a clock or an alternating-current motor, through intermediate gear which is intermittently connected, or through variable gearing, the ratio between the times of engagement and disengagement, or the gear ratio, being controlled by a device actuated by the current or the power, the maximum value of which is to be indicated. In the form shown, a pinion d is in engagement with the last wheel c of the clock-work train, and is mounted so that it may move around this wheel. Mounted on the axis of the pinion d is an eccentric g, which during part of its revolution, comes into contact with a lever k controlled by a solenoid h, and thus causes the pinion d to ride out of gear with the wheel f; when not so raised, the pinion d drives the wheel f and a non-return pointer m, by a pin l. The wheel f is retracted to its zero position by a spring n at definite intervals of time, owing to the release of a pawl p<1> by a pin o on a wheel b of the clock-work train, which may also lift the pinion d out of engagement with the wheel f. A hot wire may replace the lever k and solenoid h, its sagging corresponding to a deflexion of the lever ; or other devices, such as alternating- current coils acting on a short-circuited armature, or, in the case of polyphase currents, two or more current and potential coils acting on an armature, may be employed. When the maximum-demand indicator is used in connexion with a clock meter, the intermediate mechanism may be driven from the clock-work of the meter.
