Title: Improvements in Interrupters for Ignition Coils of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: CARPENTIER JULES
Filed: 1904-08-27
Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 18,615. Carpentier, J. Aug. 27. Gas and like engines, igniting in. The armature of an interrupter working between two cores rocks upon knife-edges, the arrangements being improvements on those described in Specification No. 18,523, A.D. 1904. Fig. 1 shows the armature F in section, the central part being non-magnetic and the ends being of sheet iron. The armature rests upon two knife-edges L', M<1>, and is also connected to a spring N. The armature F is attracted by one of the cores A, A', and the spring N completes the stroke, causing contact to be made and the armature to be attracted by the other core. The armature then continues to oscillate, and makes contact at each swing. In a modification, the armature is pivoted as shown in Fig. 4, K being a small cylinder with two opposite grooves, in which fit two knife-edges L, M. Another modification is shown in Fig. 6, in which two separate armatures F, F' are provided with knife-edges resting in a groove a, a<1>. The armatures carry teeth c, c' and a spring N. Fig. 9 shows another form, in which each armature is bent to form ears d, d pivoted on a pin e. A spring N connects the armatures, forcing together their toothed ends c, c'. A bar P with central lateral extensions forms a case carrying the working parts. The movable armature may be locked against a permanent magnet. The interrupter may also be applied to a single coil, a small electromagnet replacing the second coil shown.

Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 23,169. McGregor, J. A. Kennedy-. Nov. 11. Hulls, cleaning.-Comprises an apparatus for cleaning the hulls of vessels when under way, in which a brush F is operated by a motor E contained in a water-tight casing B held to the ship's side by electro - magnets a, a<2>, a<3>, a'. Wheels C are mounted on the exterior of the casing B or may constitute the magnet poles. They are operated from the motor E through spur-wheels e<2>, e<3>, e<5>, e<4>, e<6>, e<7>, e<8>, e<9> and chain gearing e<10>. The cleaning tool or brush F is operated by eccentrics f<1> driven from the shaft f<2>. Springs maintain the brush F against the ship's side. Wheels J provided for sideway movements are driven by separate motors H through worm-gearing h', h<3> and chain gearing. The diameter of one half of the circumference of the wheels J is greater than the other half, so that, when moving the appliance sideways, the wheels C are lifted off the surface of the vessel, and, when moving under the action of the wheels C, the wheels J are not in contact. The brush or cleaning-tool may be rotary instead of reciprocating, and the magnets are normally a slight distance from the surface to be cleaned. The Provisional Specification also states that when the apparatus is used in dry dock a chemical solution, hot air, steam jets, or the like may be directed through the apparatus on to the ship's hull to assist in the removal of incrustation.

Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 4828. Berland, L. A. July 10, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electricity, supplying.-At the conclusion of the supply, the meter closes the circuit of an electromagnet N through contacts X, Y, which opens the consumer's circuit. After prepayment, the spindle A is rotated whereupon the contact X, which is carried by the planet-wheel S of an epicyclic train, is set back a predetermined distance from the contact Y through gearing B, d, c, e, a. The spindle S is then turned to the left, the projection I throwing over the contact-lever L to close the contacts p, q, in which position the lever L is retained by the engagement of the catch H with the latch O, and then to the right, bringing the contacts E', E<2> into engagement with the blocks F', F<2>, respectively, and closing the consumer's circuit. The meter rotates the wheel b, returning the contact X to close the circuit of the electromagnet and withdraw the catch H, allowing a spring to return the lever L and open the main circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the epicyclic arrangement is dispensed with, and the contact-arms X<1>, Y<1> are mounted on the spindle T' and sleeve T<1>, respectively, the former spindle being set forward by prepayment, and the latter geared to the meter mechanism, gradually overtaking it. In an alternative arrangement, the spindle S is dispensed with, the contacts E<1>, E<2> being mounted on the spindle A. Coin action.-During the rotation of the drum A, the projecting coin first lifts the spring f <1> and then drives the wheel B.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Steaming Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: FUSSGAENGER VICTOR

Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 6724. Fussgõnger, V. March 30, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyeing.-Fabrics are steamed iu apparatus in which the steam is introduced through perforated pipes e and travels in the opposite direction to the material b, which is drawn from expanders v and passes through air-excluding squeezing-rollers n into and out of the steam-chest. This is provided with partitions c and rollers a. The steam leaves through a valve and the squeezing-rollers may be packed to make the chamber air-tight. There are a wooden insulation q and steam-jackets p<1>, p<2> for preventing the formation of drops, and steamheated plates r<1>, r<2> for protecting the material from drops of water. The squeezing-rollers n can be heated to avoid condensation of steam and dry the material. A modification is described, in which the entrance and exit for the fabric are at the same side of the apparatus. An atmosphere of steam free from air is produced in a short time as required in effecting hydrosulphite discharge and printing with indigo, sulphurized dye-stuffs, &c. By reversing the action of the machine, or by applying two steam induction and eduction pipes, the process may be carried out with a direct current, as required in the case of easily decomposing printing and discharging colours requiring always fresh steam.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Guns.
Inventor: FRANKLIN WILLIAM SUDDARDS
Filed: 1907-03-25
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 7171. Franklin, W. S. March 25. Toy guns; electric toys.-Relates to that type of toy cannon in which a mixture of air and acetylene is exploded by an electric spark. The cannon 11 is supported by trunnions in a carriage having side plates 13, and a flanged base-plate 14, which rests on the side of the box 10 into which the apparatus is packed when not in use. The carriage is preferably made by punching and bending a single sheet of metal. The rear end of the cannon is closed by a breech-plate 16 in the form of a screw cap. This plate carries the sparking-device and also the gas nozzle. The sparking-device, Fig. 3, consists of a fixed binding-screw 19, and a movable binding-screw 25. A spring 23 projects from the former into the path of movement of the latter, which is normally thrust into the gun by a spring 27. The battery wires 30, 33 are connected to the screws 19, 25, one of the connexions being through a sparking-coil 35. The gas generator consists of a bottom cup and an upper inverted cup, from which the gas is led to a nozzle 43 in the breech-plate. A perforated plate 44 is secured in the mouth of the nozzle by spinning over the edges of the latter, as shown. The tube connexion is pinched at one part by a spring 48, which is extended to form a controlling-handle. In use, carbide is dropped into the generator through the central tube on to a bulge in the bottom cap, and the spring 48 is depressed to allow the gas to enter the cannon, which, either before or after the admission of gas, is closed by a cork 50. A cord 31 is then pulled to actuate the screw 25 so that it contacts with the spring 23, and the resulting make-and-break of the circuit produces a sufficiently strong spark to explode the mixture of air and gas in the cannon.
