Abstract: 995. Gantreau, L., and Cautreau, T. Jan. 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in and starting. The vaporizer described is intended for slightly volatile liquids, such as mineral oils, alcohol, &c., and will allow of the engine being started with these oils without recourse being had to lighter oils. The combustible enters the tube a at the end c and leaves by the end b. The tube a is surrounded by a jacket d having an opening f and an uptake g. This opening is for the introduction of a source of heat such as a blowpipe burner, lamp, or the like to heat the tube a at starting. The whole is enclosed in an external jacket h through which the exhaust gases of the motor flow. The exhaust enters by the pipe i, in which is situated a control valve k, and leaves by the pipe j. With this construction of vaporizer, the exhaust or heating gases do not interfere with the source of heat employed at starting. A nozzle m is provided through which steam, alcohol, or any other suitable fluid may be injected. If steam is particularly desired, the water circulates in a coil n, Fig. 5, surrounding the exhaust pipe p, the coil being sufficiently long to vaporize the water. The functions of the three chambers may be interchanged if desired.

Patent GB-190614960-A (GB)
Title: Mechanism for Intermittently Rotating and Stopping a Revoluble Member.
Inventor: HEIDE HENRY CONRAD
Filed: 1906-06-30
Granted: 1907-06-29
Abstract: 14,960. Heide, H. C., [Standard Screw Co.]. June 30. Toothed gearing; clutches.- Relates to means for intermittently rotating at variable speeds and stopping a spindle, such as the stock spindle of a machine for making metal screws. The stock spindle F is driven from a shaft Q bevel geared to the driving-shaft B, Fig. 1, through slow gear 4, 6 or fast gear 3, 5. The gear 6 is loose on the spindle and is formed to engage a claw clutch 8 on a splined sleeve 9, which in its other extreme position operates a friction clutch R of any known construction. The sleeve is traversed by a lever 10, Fig. 4, having at its lower end a cam-surface which engages a bowl on a spring-pressed lever 15. The part 13 is concentric with the lever axis and the part 14 is upwardly inclined. A bowl 19 on the lever 10 is engaged by a cam on the shaft C which is driven from the shaft B. Just before the clutch R is disengaged, a projection 32, Fig. 3, on a cam operates a spring-controlled lever 22 to press an adjustable hard wood plug 31 against the sleeve 9. Additional braking is provided by the over-running of the claw teeth. As soon as disengagement occurs, the bowl on the lever 15 passes from the surface 13 to the surface 14 and throws the sleeve over quickly to engage the claw teeth, which rotate the spindle at a slow speed until the lever 22 passes the projection 32 and enters a recess 27, when a pin 21 enters an inclined slot 20 in the sleeve, withdraws it to its central inoperative position, and stops the spindle by contact with the end of the slot. As soon as the lever 22 passes from the recess 27, the lever 10 throws in the slow gear. The recess in the cam 23 is bounded by hard steel plates one of which extends to form the projection 32. Specification No. 15,880, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Postal Collecting Receptacles.
Inventor: POWELL ANNIE ALICE
Filed: 1907-04-11
Granted: 1908-01-02
Abstract: 8416. Powell, A. A., [Powell, F. A.]. April 11. Mail bags and cases.- A receptacle for use in connexion with a postal delivery shoot of rectangular section, and adapted to be automatically closed and locked on removal from the shoot, comprises a letter-bag 10, Fig. 1, provided with a box part or casing 11 containing the locking- mechanism and secured to the shoot by suitable spring clips or catches on the sides of the shoot. The locking - mechanism comprises a plate 16, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, riveted to the front plate 11<a>, which carries bolts 17, 18 engaging the spring- hinged flap 13. Acting in conjunction with the plate 16 are spring-actuated bolts 20, 23, the latter carrying a crank-lever 27 projecting inwards from the plate. As the box is slid into position on the shoot, the bolts 17, 18 are forced back, thus lifting the plate 16, the flap 13 is opened, and the movement ceases as the end of the shoot engages with the arm 26 of the crank-lever 27, forcing down the bolt 23 against its spring. This movement of the bolt 23 releases the bolt 20, which moves forwards and engages the edge of the plates 16. The letters &c. then fall through into the bag 10. When the box is removed from the shoot, the flap 13 rises to the horizontal position past the lever 27, the bolts 17, 18 move outwards, and the bolt 20 is pushed forwards behind the plate 16 as shown in Fig. 5, locking it and the bolts 17, 18 in position. The locking-mechanism is released by a key passed through a hole 28 in the front wall of the casing.
Patent GB-190710383-A (GB)
Title: Selfacting Machine for the Excavation of Earth and for other purposes.
Inventor: POLJAKOFF-KOWTUNOFF THEOCTISTE
Filed: 1907-05-04
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 10,383. Kowtunoff, T. Poljakoff-. May 4. Excavating.-A p o r t a b l e track machine for excavating earth or tunnelling has helical blades 1, some or all of which may be rake-like, arranged in conical, spherical, or other form on a shaft 3 inclined at any suitable angle to the horizontal. The shaft 3 is rotated by an engine 13 through gear-wheels 16, 17, 18, 19, 9. When the machine is used for tunnelling, knives 5 are added. The strip of earth left between the knives 1, 5 is removed by a knife 6, carried by a weighted lever 10 pivoted to the wheel 9. Rollers 11 engaging a plate 12 fixed to the frame of the machine serve to depress the knives 6 during the non-cutting part of the rotation so as to pass clear of the wheel 19. A cover 76 prevents earth from clogging the teeth of the wheel 9. The earth as removed falls through a rotating funnel 78 on to a conveyer 28, and is carried by conveyers 29, 79 to an elevator 80 mounted on a turning column 81 so that the debris can be discharged to either side at will. Earth removed below the funnel 78 falls on to a rotating plate 120, from which it is removed to the conveyers 29 by a fixed scraper 121. The machine is provided with two sets of wheels 30, 33, with rails 31, 34 and sleepers 32, 35 which are alternately raised and lowered. Hanging from the axles of the wheels are pieces 36 having rollers 37 which embrace the rails so that the respective sets of wheels, rails, and sleepers move together. A worm 63 drives wheels 64 fixed to shafts 65 having cranks 66 with rollers which work in suitable slots in the pieces 68. The pieces 68 are thus caused to reciprocate horizontally relatively to the frame 26 of the machine, moving in one direction when the wheels are raised and in the opposite direction when they are lowered. Each piece 68 is connected to the ends of one set of rails by chains (not shown), so that the rails are caused to move backwards and forwards relatively to the frame 26 of the machine. Thus, while one sliding piece is advancing the machine along one set of rails by the pull on the chains, the other sliding piece moving in the opposite direction is advancing the other raised set of rails with their sleepers. The raising and lowering of the wheels is effected from the worm 38 which rotates the wheel and shaft 40. The shaft 40 has projections 53, and cranks 41, 42 with rollers 43, 44 working in cam-grooves in pieces 45, 46 secured respectively to shafts 47, 55. The projections and cam-grooves are so shaped and placed that the pieces 45, 46 oscillate with the required movement, which is communicated to forks 49, 56 so that strips 51, 58, pivoted to the forks and connecting the axles of the respective sets of wheels, are alternately raised and lowered. The wheels are carried by pivoted links 52, 59. In a modification, the cutting-blades rotate about an horizontal axis, and are followed by a fixed horizontal blade.

Abstract: 12,451. Miles, H. J. May 29. Controlling traffic on railways, staff and ticket systems for.-For permitting not more than three trains to cross at a point intermediate between the tablet instrument cabins, Tyer's trains - crossing apparatus is provided with two keys, which are normally locked in the apparatus but are released ready for withdrawal when the crossing-permit slide is withdrawn. Each key K is provided with wards A, B, differing from those of other keys to ensure that each key is only used in its own lock. The keys lift the lock bolts C when inserted and turned, and the crossing-permit slide T can then be pushed home. The crossing-permit then prevents the turning of either key by its presence beneath the bolts C. When a crossing-permit is withdrawn in the usual way, the keys are free to be turned and removed, and may each be used as a permit for a train to proceed to the crossing loop. The last train going towards the loop carries the ordinary permit and one or two of the keys. The permit slide T cannot be pushed home while either of the keys is out, as in that case the projection P engages the bolts C.
