Abstract: 13,035. Fawcett, W. June 5. Copying and carving machines. - A cutter or abrading-tool holder for sculpturing and like machines is provided with electric means for continuously and automatically compensating for wear. The cutter C, Fig. 1, is carried by a spindle D connected by a continuation piece I of non- magnetic material to a soft-iron part J, which acts as the core of a solenoid K.

Patent GB-190625148-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Feeding the Warps in Looms for Weaving.
Filed: 1906-11-08
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 25,148. Jacobi, L., and Union Bank. Nov. 8. Loom let-off motions ; warp tension, regulating.- The let-off, driven through worm gearing 15, 17, Fig. 2, and ratchet gearing 21, 14, is adapted to operate when the warp slackens and the whip-roll 2 moves to a certain definite extent only. When the warp slackens, levers 10 carrying the whiproll, and a rod or spindle 3 provided with a lever 11, are rocked, and a screwed rod 12, passing through a slide 13 on a slotted lever 31, Figs. 2 and 5, is rocked together with its sleeve 35 about a pivot 32. If the warp slackens sufficiently, a pin 33, fitting through a slot 34 on the sleeve 35 and secured to a bell-crank 20, 22, allows the latter to move sufficiently to bring its bowl 19 under the influence of a cam 23. The bell-crank is then rocked, and by means of a pawl 21 the let-off is operated. The cam shaft can be set in position by a hand-wheel, and is driven as shown. The rod 3 is provided with a spring-pressed rod extending in the opposite direction to the lever 10, and having notches so that a spring secured to the loom frame can be attached to the rod at various distances from the centre of the latter to vary the tension given to the whip-roll.

Patent GB-190703359-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Art of and Apparatus for Submarine Signaling
Inventor: BLAKE LUCIEN IRA
Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1908-03-11
Abstract: 3359. Blake, L. I. Feb. 11. Signals, marine and ship.-In submarine sound signalling, a consonant material, such as wbite pine-wood, is interposed between the water and the sound producing or receiving devices. The consonant material responds to sounds of any pitch and acts as an intensifier, the action of which does not depend upon the shape or size of the material, as in the case of resonance. In the form of receiving-apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a tank C containing microphonic receivers is bolted to a block of pine-wood D. This block forms one side of the tank, the space between the block and the skin A of the vessel being filled with similar consonant material E. The microphones may be supported within the tank by rubber bands. In modifications, the block D is secured to the rib B of the. vessel, or to an inner wooden or other sheathing, the sound-vibrations being conveyed to the block D from the skin A by sound posts of consonant material. In the sound-producing device shown in Fig. 5, the block of consonant material L, contained in the tank K, is supported by a bar M of magnetic material, vibrated by an alternating current passed through the coil 0. A constant current in the coil N keeps the bar M magnetized.

The edges of the band 8 are supported on boards between which a space is left opposite the door 5 of the hopper 3 for the passage of lumps of sand &c. From the band 8, the materials pass into a shoot 9, pivoted at the upper end and supported at the lower by a bail 23 passing over pins 22 on the shaft 1, so that the motion of the shaft causes it to vibrate. From the shoot 9, the materials pass to the mixer 2, which is of truncated conical form and open at both ends It is strengthened by rings 15, and is attached to the shaft 1 by rods 16, Fig. 5, bent round the shaft 1 and secured to the rings 15 by nuts 17, as shown. Water is supplied from a tank 10 by a pipe 11. A grid 14 is placed over the hopper 3 to screen out stones.

Abstract: 3468. Chapman, C. F. Feb. 15. Cutting glass. - Sections ot elliptical or irregular outline are detached from a piece of sheet or plate glass by means of a device in which a sleeve C carrying a graduated arm C' moves about a standard D. A hollow sleeve C' slides on the arm C<1> and carries an adjustable holder I which receives the shank L of the cutting-tool. As shown in Fig. 4, the standard D is hollow, and encloses a rod B, which is attached at its lower end to a heavy rubber disk G, of the shape shown, seated within the base H of the device. The upper end of the rod is provided with a thread of quick pitch which is engaged by a milled nut A. When this nut is turned, the disk G is drawn up at the centre, thereby causing a partial vacuum between the disk and the glass sheet S so that the device is held securely in place. The diamond K is dressed so that the cross-section is an isosceles triangle, and is mounted in a tool stock J formed of brass rod. The tool-stock J is mounted in the shank L so as to have a slight vertical and axial movement. The shape of the section cut out is determined by a templet F mounted on the standard D and provided with a guide-groove F<b> in its upper face to be engaged by a ball-pointed swivel-pin D<b> depending from the sleeve C<3>. The templet may be removed from the standard and replaced by another with a groove of different outline. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c.
