Title: An Improved Hydraulic Hose Coupling.
Inventor: MUSKETT JABEZ
Filed: 1905-12-11
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 25,701. Muskett, J. Dec. 11. Screw unions ; clip and sleeve joints.-A coupling for armoured and other hose, capable of withstanding crushing a s well as internal pressure, consists of a segmental ferrule a, preferably in three parts, formed cylindrical for a portion of its length and conical for the remainder, and threaded internally to engage with the armouring of the hose, over which a bush d coned to fit the cone of the ferrule a is held by means of a nut m which engages with the flange j on the coned nipple i. The bush d is preferably formed with flats and a collar, and when tightened bears against a collar on the ferrule a to prevent the latter from being crushed. For jointing lengths of hose together, two such couplings are used. For jointing hose to hydraulic machines, the nipple may be screwed as at p and provided with flats q to take a spanner.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Wireless Telegraphy
Inventor: TURNER ALFRED WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-02-01
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 2485. Turner, A. W., Peers, H. J., and Ridley, H. J. W. Feb. 1. Telegraphs. - In receiving - systems for wireless telegraphy, the aerial is earthed directly through an electro-magnetic relay or through a wave-detector and relay in series. In the former case, the relay replaces the wave - detector. This relay controls the circuit of a second relay, actuating a Morse sounder. The first mentioned relay is shown in Fig. 3. The armature consists of a flat strip j of iron, vertically suspended by means of adjustable screws from pillars e at its ends. A spring m normally pulls the armature away from the magnet pole-pieces a, but when the magnets are excited the local circuit is completed by the contact of the armature j with the contact p.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: WESTON GEORGE
Filed: 1906-11-05
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 24,796. Weston, G., Shipley, A. H., and Weston, T. Nov. 5. Brakes.-Relates to a brake which is applied to a boot-sole sewing-machine and is arranged so as to stop the machine with the needle out of the work. The machine shaft 1 is driven by a loose pulley 3, which drives through a usual form of clutch a disk 2 fixed to the shaft. On the other side of the disk a number of brake blocks 16 are pivoted in position to bear upon the inner surface of a fixed drum 5. They are forced into contact with that surface by the stoppage of a cam disk 8, which has cam-surfaces 9 in contact with bowls on the pivoted brake blocks. The cam disk, which is loose on the shaft and normally revolves freely with the disk 2, is stopped when a foot treadle is released, to permit a spring-pressed stop to move upwards into the path of a pin 10 on the cam disk. In a modification, Fig. 6, the brake blocks 26 are pivoted to a fixed frame and are forced outwards into contact with the inner surface of the pulley 20 by the rotation of a ring 23 having bowls 24 which run in eccentricallydisposed grooves 25 in the brake blocks. The ring 23 is rotated by springs 32 when the treadle rod 31 is released. A detent 29 pivoted in the arm 28 of the ring 23 engages a tooth in a fixed plate 27 to hold the parts in the 'off' position. It is forced out by the contact of a cam 33 on the pulley with the nose 34 of the detent lever.

Abstract: 5246. Laughton, H. March 9. Gas or explosivevapour engines, starting in. Starting - devices of the type described in Specification No. 3829, A.D. 1904, have the horizontal plug tap replaced by a screw-down valve situated below the non- return valve. The apparatus comprises a circular casing A having an internally threaded extension B carrying a screw-plug C which is rotated by a handle F. The stem of the valve E passes through the plug and is connected to it by a nut D so that the valve is not rotated with the handle. The lower end of the casing A is provided with a screw Q and lock-nut R to connect it with the cylinder, while the upper end is screwed to a funnel-shaped member L which is provided with a suitably-guided non-return valve I having its seating at P. In operation, a measured quantity of liquid fuel is placed in the cup 0, whence it escapes to the cylinder when the screw plug is opened. The engine is then rotated until a charge of air is drawn into the cylinder and compressed. During the compression stroke, the non-return valve I is closed automatically by the pressure of air in the cylinder. The valve I is then forced open by a rod, and a light is inserted in the passage S to explode the mixture. After the explosion, the screw plug is closed. In the case of engines provided with electric ignitionapparatus, a spark may be passed through the mixture to produce the initial explosion.
