Patent GB-190815172-A (GB)
Title: Fluid Pressure Checking Apparatus.
Inventor: GEORG DUFFING
Filed: 1908-07-17
Abstract: 15,172. Duffing, G. Aug. 22, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Balancing reciprocating machinery.-Machinery is balanced by means of pistons which only permit motion in the required direction. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a piston a moving in a cylinder containing liquid has check valves c, d opening outwards. If the rod s is moved in either direction it opens the valve c or d by means of a tappet e, and so permits the continuance of the motion. In a modification, the valves c, d are carried on the rod s, and in another modification the valves are operated by the rod s by means of levers. Fig. 2 shows two checking-pistons working in separate cylinders a, a<1>. The connecting-rods s, s<1> of the pistons are linked by a lever, and carry tappets, which control the valves c, c<1>.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 26,396. Dalman, J. H., and Hotchkiss, A. E. Dec. 7. Filing papers &c.-In loose-leaf and transfer binders &c., means are provided whereby the lateral spacing of the filing-posts can be varied to suit papers having their perforations at different distances apart. In one form the top and bottom transverse bars e, b, Fig. 1, to which the covers c are attached, are provided with slots b<1>, Figs. 1 and 4, in which the posts a can slide. The posts can be fixed in any position by a threaded head a<2>, which engages a square nut d located inside the bottom bar b ; or a nut engaging a thread at the top of the post a may slide in a groove in the top of the bar b preferably so as not to project above the bar, a head on the post being situated within the bar b and the part of the post between the thread and the head being shaped to engage the slot b<1> to prevent rotation of the post. Suitable openings are formed in the slots b<1> to admit the heads on the posts a. The nut may move in a groove underneath the bar b, gripping the latter between it and a collar on the post above the bar b. Instead of nuts, a thumb-screw sliding in a side slot in the bar b may engage a foot on the post a sliding inside the bar b ; or a transverse right and left handed screw passing through the bar band through the feet on the posts may be rotated to separate or bring together the posts a. In a further modification a series of threaded or plain holes is formed along the bar b, into which the posts may be screwed or through which they pass and are attached by nuts underneath. In a further form, bases a<1>, Fig. 17, on the posts a slide in a dovetailed channel b<2> in the top of the bar b, a slit b<3> being provided to allow the bar to grip the bases by spring action, and holes may be made in the sides of the channel b<2> into which studs on the bases a' enter to further secure the posts in position. According to the Provisional Specification, a base on the post may slide between pairs of ribs, beadings, &c., or may be mounted on single plane bars or guide-rods, and may be held in position by friction, which may be increased by springs, &c., or by mechanical means such as screws, or pegs or pins inserted through registering holes in the base and guide-rods &c., or by spring catches and pawls, the rod &c. having in the latter case ratchet teeth &c. In other forms the posts are attached by screw, spike, or other fastenings ; or the lower ends of the posts are squared or otherwise shaped to engage slots in the body bar of the binder or in a plate attached thereto, and nuts, pegs, cotter pins, &c, may fix the posts. For small adjustments, the posts may be mounted eccentrically on small rotatable bases adapted to be locked or clamped.

Inventor: SCHUMANN ALBERT
IPC: A63J3/00
Filed: 1909-03-29
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 7526. Schumann, A. March 29. Theatrical appliances.-A device by means of which races can be run in a small space consists of an endless track a, which is moved by the feet of the runner and passes around rollers b, b<1> carried by a supporting-framework g running on rails. The roller b is connected by bevel-wheels l<1> and a worm n to a wheel p, which is mounted in the frame g and gears with a rack q fixed between the rails. Movement of the track by the feet of the runner thus advances the frame at a slow speed. The wormshaft m is rotatable about the axis of the roller b and a weight r or spring keeps the worm n in engagement with the wheel p. By lifting the shaft, the roller b is disengaged from the wheel p, and, at the same time, a curved tailpiece s, secured to the shaft m, engages the rack q and checks the momentum of the carriage. The propelling-mechanism may also be uncoupled by an electro-magnetic device. The virtual distance traversed during the race may be indicated by a tape measure t running on rollers driven by a suitable gear from one of the wheels of the frame. The frame is provided with traces k to which a horse standing on the track can be harnessed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ribbon-fork Actuating Mechanism of Type Writing Machines.
IPC: B41J35/00
Filed: 1910-04-21
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 9737. Wanderer-Werke vorm. Winklhofer &. Jaenicke Akt.-Ges. Oct. 7, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 21,026/09.] Ink-ribon mechanism; accenting- arrangements. - The two - colour ribbon vibrator described in the parent Specification is provided with means whereby the accentkeys, as well as the ordinary keys, may print in two colours. The ribbon device consists of a bellcrank lever 15 which is connected to the vibrator 19 and is operated from the universal bar 7, either by means of a pin 10 or, in the " red " adjustment, by an arm 11, which may be locked to the universal bar by means of a hook 22 which is connected to a ribbon-change key. The accent key-lever 1 is in the known manner recessed so as not to operate the universal bar, and is connected by a link 29 to a pin 36 on an arm 28 which is secured to the same shaft 14 as the lever 15. The means whereby the accent key may print in two colours are as follows. The link 29 is formed with a stepped slot 32, 33 and is adapted to be engaged by an arm 30, which is secured to the same shaft 21 as the hook 22. In the normal or " black " adjustment shown, the top of the slot 32, 33 rests on the pin 22, so that, when the accent key is operated, there is lost motion between the link 29 and the pin 36, and the normal throw is imparted to the vibrator. When the ribbon-change key is depressed to set the parts in the " red " adjustment, the shaft 21 is rocked to bring the hook 22 into engagement with the arm 11, and simultaneously the link 29 is lifted by the arm 30 so as to bring the lower slot 33 into engagement with the pin 36. The link thus engages the pin without lost motion, and imparts the full stroke to the vibrator when the accent key is operated.

Abstract: 21,132. Huhn, G. Sept. 10. Packing, metallic; packing, facilitating insertion of.-Packing-rings for a turbine shaft &c. are ground to fit the shaft, and are arranged in recesses against one side of which they are pressed by wedge rings. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the turbine wheels 1 are formed with flanges 2, which surround the shaft, and on which the packing bears. The packing-rings 6 are of wedge section, and are hollow to contain a lubricant. The rings are in halves, the ends of which abut, and they are acted on by divided rings 8, the ends of which do not abut. The rings 8 contain lubricant, and are surrounded by spiral springs 13. The wedge action presses the rings against the sides of the recesses, and prevents the passage of steam, but permits the packing to move laterally with the shaft. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 4, two packing-rings k, d are employed in each recess, acted on by a single wedge ring f. Undue pressure of the packing-rings on the sides of the recess caused by leakage steam is balanced by the admission of steam to recesses i in the sides of the rings or in the walls of the casing. Steam is admitted to the recesses i from the spaces l by passages k. In assembling the packing, the rings are held together by some material destructible by steam threaded through the passages k.
