Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 9158. Leighton, C. E. April 27, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Locks, permutation; cases; picking, preventing.-Relates to protecting-devices for permutation locks to prevent access s to the interior mechanism. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the protector is in the form of a casing 7, which is kept in place by lugs 8, 12 engaging the end of the casing and a slot in the back-plate 6 respectively, and can only be freed therefrom by a sliding movement, which is normally prevented by the permutation disks 5 of the lock, which co-operate with a projection 9 on the casing and release it only when their notches are brought into line by the use of the proper combination for unlocking the door. The casing 7 can therefore only be removed if the combination is known. The projection 9 is fixed to the casing by a screw 22, and may if desired be turned round to a position opposite to that shown, so that the casing can be arranged for removal without the necessity of operating the disks. Ribs 23 keep the projection in either of the positions. In a modification, instead of the casing 7, a plate is employed which when in position covers the screws 11 by which the back-plate 6 is secured to the lock case 1. In Fig. 4, this plate is shown replaced by a button 10<a> which simply covers the attaching screw 11, and is mounted on a bar 15 sliding in guides on the inside of plate 6, and provided with the finger 13 for co-operating with the disks. In a modification of this, the button is released by a spring when the disks are set, and is returned to position by a bevel portion of the setting-disk. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the back-plate 6 itself is fastened to the case by a bayonet-joint 26, and secured until the disks are set by a sliding bolt 24, the nose of which takes into a recess 27 in the side of the lock casing and is provided with a projecting finger 9, Fig. 7<a>, for co-operation with the disks. The finger 9 is arranged, as in the first form, for moving to the inoperative position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 7<a>.

Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 10,683. Mitchell, C. F., and Barker, J. L. May 8. Cutting-machines for fabrics.-In machines for producing cloth on the bias by cutting tubular woven cloth into a strip spirally, the tubu'ar cloth is drawn from a roller K, Fig. 3, along a stationary cylinder or skeleton frame A bv taking- up rollers C, C', assisted by endless spiked bands G, H set obliquely to the cylinder. As the cloth is drawn spirally round the cylinder, the stationary, rotary, or other cutter D, set obliquely to the cylinder, cuts the cloth into a strip, which is prevented from contracting laterally by the spiked bands or equivalent devices. The bands G, H are driven by a roller B' and pass round guide-rollers g<1>, h<1>, h<2>, h<3>, h<4> mounted inside the cylinder A so that the bands emerge from the cylinder flush with its surface to grip the cloth. The band H, after emerging from the cylinder, passes round it in a spiral groove to take the edge of the cloth round the cylinder. If the strip is to be divided into two or more strips, other cutters are mounted on a shaft preferably between the rollers B', C. A pressing-roller maybe mounted above the cylinder in front of the knife D to direct the cloth to the knife. The roller K is mounted in the frame L, M to rotate in two places at right-angles, about the axes k, m.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Time Switches.
Inventor: LAIRD WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1907-08-20
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 18,790. Laird, W. H. Aug. 20. Switches.-A timeswitch mechanism for switching electric lamps on and off at predetermined times, or for similarly controlling other circuits, consists of a clock mechanism 1, to the hour-hand arbor of which is geared a shaft 4 which rotates once in twenty - four hours. On the shaft are frictionally carried two disks 6, 6<a> pressed outwards by a spring 7 and each carrying an adjustable stud. The stud on the disk 6 bears against the spring 11 as shown, thus closing the circuit c<1> of a motor B geared to a switch 16, which is opened and closed by a quarter rotation of the shaft 15. On the shaft 15 is also mounted a circuit-breaker 14, which consists of a metal cylinder with opposite quadrantal parts cut out. When the motor has run sufficiently to close the switch, the circuit is broken at the brush 18 and the motor stops. The lamp circuit then remains closed until the stud on the disk 6<a> bears against the brush 11<a> for closing the circuit c<4> re-starting the motor, which makes another quarter turn as the brush 18<a> is in contact with the circuit-breaker 14. The time of making and breaking the circuit L is adjusted by moving the disks 6, 6<a> about the shaft, and for this purpose the edges of the disk are preferably graduated and a pointer 24 is provided. To close the circuit at other times than those at which the apparatus is set, switches 27 are provided ; these may be operated by hand. In a modified form, a knife switch is shown in place of the switch 16, in which case the circuit-breaker is semicircular instead of quadrantal, as the switch is opened and closed by a half-turn of the shaft 15.

Breech mechanism ; field carriages ; loading- appliances.-Relates to quick-firing guns of the kind in which the barrel d is moved forwards by the discharge and is returned by a spring t. The motion is damped by an oil brake which comprises a cylinder 2 and a piston 7 having an extension 8 adapted to fit a plug 9 ; the stem 8 has a curved profile,to allow the oil to escape from the plug. During the forward motion of the barrel, a loading-bridgef provided with hinges m is raised to the position f by means of springs and a slot k on the barrel operates a lever i, which rocks a cradle c and allows a fresh charge to fall on the bridge f and to replace the spent charge thereon. The return motion causes the various parts to resume their original position. The forward impulse of the barrel is resisted by the usual spur on the trail and, if necessary, by an additional spur s<1> which may be collapsible. The breech may be connected to the carriage so that it can be moved by hand away from the back of the barrel.

Abstract: 11,669. Seaton, G. F. May 18. Separating and sorting gauges. - Apparatus for gauging and sorting small-arm ammunition, or component parts thereof, &c., comprises, in one form, a conveyer C, Fig. 1, which carries the articles singly from the shoot FS and passes them between the fixed jaw G, Fig. 2, and the spring-controlled adjustable jaw ME of a gauge. The jaw ME is formed by one arm of a bellcrank lever, the other arm P of which is adapted to complete an electrical circuit through the contact CP<1> if the article passing through the gauge is too small, and through the contact CP<2> if the article is too large; a further switch is automatically closed each time an article passes through the gauge. In the former case, an ejector E' removes the article into the discharge shoot DS', and, in the latter, an ejector E<2> removes it into the shoot DS<2>. If, however, the article is correct to gauge, neither circuit is made, and the article falls by gravity into the shoot DS<3>. In another form of machine, for separating cartridges in which the protrusion of the cap exceeds the limit, the cartridges are fed into an horizontal conveyer C, Fig. 4, and are pressed home by a pressure-arm PP. They are then passed beneath the gauging-arm ME and the excessive protrusion of a cap causes the arm P to make a circuit through the contact CP. The cartridge, on being ejected, is thus received into a shoot DS', but, if correct, it falls into a shoot DS<2>,
