Title: Improvements in Fire Extinguishing Apparatus.
Filed: 1907-12-06
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 26,957. Miller, Ltd., W., and Jarvie, R. Dec. 6. Extincteurs.-In an extincteur of the type in which the acid-bottle b is supported in a holder c<0> secured by means of arms c<1>, c<2> to the sides of the main container so that the bottle b may be broken. by the blow of a hammer d upon a concussion knob c<7>, the ring c of the holder c<0> is cut through in one or more places to form one or more gaps c<5>.

Title: Improvements relating to Elastic Cushions or Buffers for Billiard Tables and other Objects.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1908-01-16
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 1083. Wetter, J., and Henning, F. W. J. Jan. 16. Billiards.-Cushions for billiard tables are made by filling an outer cover of waterproof and flexible material with an elastic composition consisting of starch, water, and a strongly hygroscopic salt or mixture of salts, preferably magnesium chloride with or without the addition of a minute quantity of glue, resin, &c. The constituents are mixed at a low temperature and allowed to gelatinize. In some cases, an air-tube or steel spring may be embedded in the elastic material, or the cushion may have a hollow core, into which steam can be introduced if the material becomes too hard.

Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 4961. Crossley & Sons, J., [Hansel, R.]. March 4. Shuttleless looms, weft-supplying in.-In order to produce a pattern fabric having different coloured yarns for use in manufacturing Smyrna, Persian, and like knotted pile fabrics, as described in Specification No. 13,359, A.D. 1899, the thread guides or tubes a, Figs. 4 and 5, are directly and independently controlled by jacquard cords l. In order that the tubes may move vertically and horizontally, they have pins e mounted in blocks or brackets f on spindles b. The tubes are normally pressed by springs k against cross-bars provided with a layer of leather or other cushioning-material, and when the cords l are actuated, the tubes are guided by inclined frame surfaces n', n<2> into one of the notches p<1>, p<2> in a pivoted bar o. This bar is moved into the upper position, shown in dotted lines, when one of the lower tubes is operated, and into the lower position when an upper tube is operated. The tube thus takes up a certain fixed position where its weft thread can be seized by the grippers. The exit ends of the tubes are bent so that their protruding threads occupy the same position, when each tube is at rest. One series of, tubes a only may be employed, in conjunction with a fixed rest for determining the operative position of the tubes.

The rollers d carry scoops e for agitating the electrolyte, the liquid that drips from them being caught by gutters n so as to protect the shafts c. The anodes f are supported by hooks &c. i from conducting-bars h, which receive the anode connexions.
Patent GB-190808735-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving and Braking Mechanism for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1908-04-21
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 8735. Justice, P. M., [Eclipse Machine Co.]. April 21. Brakes.-Relates to a combined driving and back-pedalling hub brake mechanism for velocipedes. The annular block G, integral with the sprocket-wheel, has a cam face g<2> terminated by two shoulders g<3>, g<4>; brake segments D are mounted upon and keyed to a central sleeve, which terminates in a clutch member i. A lever H extends between the segments and is adapted on forward driving to be engaged by the shoulder g<4>, and to expand the segments, thus locking the sprocket-wheel to the hub. When the rotation of the sprocket-wheel is reversed, the cam surface g<2> acts on the lever, which presses the clutch i into engagement with the anchored clutch b<1>; the segments are thus held stationary and upon farther reverse rotation are expanded to brake the hub by the engagement of the lever with the shoulder g<3>. The segments may be mounted directly upon the axle.
Patent GB-190812441-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Spinning Machinery.
Inventor: HARRINGTON ROBERT JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 12,441. Harrington, R. J. June 9. Mules.-A device to ensure the production of an even yarn throughout the cop comprises means, controlled by the builder plate, by which the period of rotation of the delivery rollers is gradually decreased during the time when the top of the cop is being wound. On an extension B<2> of the shaft of the lower delivery roller B, a gear-wheel C is loosely mounted and is continuously driven by a spur-wheel D. A clutch E mounted on an arm f, which is pivoted at f<3> and controlled by a spring i and cam d, is adapted to connect the gear-wheel C to the shaft B' and to cause the rotation of the rollers. A second gear-wheel F is mounted on the shaft, and is clutched to it by a clutch G, which is operated by a lever connected to the lever f by a link j, so that the clutches are operated simultaneously. The clutches are locked in position by a rod or detent L which engages a fixed projection h. The gear-wheel F, when clutched to the shaft B<2>, drives a spur-wheel H, which carries on its face two pins x, y, Fig. 3. The rotation of this wheel gradually brings the piece y round until it releases the detent d and allows the spring i to unclutch the gear-wheels C, F, and so stop the rotation of the delivery rollers A, B. The wheel H then begins to rotate in the reverse direction under the influence of a weighted cord N wound around its spindle. The weight 0 as it runs down causes a cord Q wound in the reverse direction on the spindle to be drawn up until a stop s on a rod r carried by the cord Q comes into contact with a bracket q. The rotation of the wheel H is thus stopped, and the position of the pin y is such that. when next the cam d brings the clutches E, G into action, the period of rotation of the wheel H corresponds to the period during which the delivery rollers should rotate. When the top of the cop is being wound, the builder plate P is arranged to come into contact with a stop on a sliding rod and to operate through it a bell-crank and thus step by step to draw down the rod p on which the bracket q is mounted. The stop s on the cord Q thus at each successive journey of the mule carriage comes earlier into contact with this bracket, and the period of rotation of the wheel H is gradually diminished, the pin y assuming positions 10, 11, 12, when the wheel H is stopped. The detent L is therefore lifted earlier each time and the period of rotation of the delivery rollers is gradually decreased. In a modification, the return movement of the wheel H may be limited by a stop carried on a rod which is moved gradually by link-work governed by the builder plate.

Abstract: 21,593. Manning, T. D., and Dodd, F. W. Sept. 16. Fixed and moving chamber apparatus with open chambers; varying quantity measured. - Drugs or other liquids are delivered from an open funnel-shaped measuring-vessel having a discharge aperture fitted with a lift-plug valve, the valve and the vessel having a relative rotary and axial movement, first to loosen the valve on its seating, and then to open it. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the valve spindle d, carrying a plug a fitting the lower end of 'the funnel b, which may be of glass, celluloid, or vulcanite, and is preferably graduated, is secured at its upper end, by means similar to the gland of a stuffing-box, to a sleeve v. Upon this sleeve is one member 2 of a pair of interacting cam-faces, of which the other member 1 is secured to the fixed frame 3. When the sleeve is rotated by means of a ratchet-connected handle 6, the valve-spindle is first rotated, and then rotated and raised by the cam in order to open the valve; but, upon the return of the handle and sleeve by means of a spring 4, the valve spindle does not rotate, being held if necessary by a detaining-ratchet, and is moved downwards only by a spring 11 to close the valve. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement wherein the measuring-chamber, which may be provided at its upper end with an overhanging filling-pipe, is movable with respect to a stationary plug-valve spindle. The socket 19 at the lower end of the chamber, the spindle, and the connexions from the operating-handle 30 are all mounted upon the fixed vertical rod m, about which the handle is pivoted and spring - controlled, movement being communicated to an arm 18, projecting from the measure through a cam-slot 20 in the socket, by means either of link-work or of a Bowden wire in a tube 42. The cam-slot is shaped to produce a movement of rotation, followed by rotation and axial movement, and admits of readily removing the measure. There may be a holder for the bottle into which the spout of the measuring-chamber is to lead.
