Inventor: GIBBS GEORGE JAMES
Filed: 1906-05-08
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 10,787. Gibbs, G. J. May 8. Sundials.-The instrument may be used to determine Greenwich mean time in any longitude. The graduated hour-disk B is adapted to turn in a fixed ring A in the plane of the equator, and has secured at right-angles to it a screen E having a central line G. A parallel screen D having a central aperture F is carried by an arm H which passes under the disk B and is pivoted to it. The arm H carries a pin M which passes through an aperture W in the plate B and works in a camgroove O in a plate P. This plate is pivoted to the disk B, and is graduated round the circumference to show the days and months of the year. To use the instrument, the plate P is first rotated until the day of the month is brought opposite the fixed pointer R, the cam-groove 0 simultaneously turning the arm H and screen D through an angle proportional to the equation of time for that day. The disk B is then turned until the light from the aperture F falls on the central line G when the time is read by means of the pointer T on the piece a. To enable the apparatus to be used in varying longitudes, the piece a is adjustably secured to the fixed ring A.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 12,800. Taylor, R. June 1. Obstetric appliances.-Traction devices for application to obstetric forceps are so constructed that the handles are automatically compressed during traction, the amount of compression being limited by an adjustable stop. Fig. 1 shows one form of the invention in which a cord or chain e is attached to the upper forceps handle a, passes round the handles in guide-grooves c, and is continued along the handles and round the angle l of the forceps to the traction piece t. The traction piece is provided with a pivoted link 6, to which the cord is attached, and which works in a slot in the handle so that the latter may be used in a longitudinal or transverse position. The forceps handles are provided with a screw stop k, the head of which is formed with a projection y taking into a recess in the upper handle so as to prevent lateral displacement. The screw stop may be replaced by an adjustable bell-crank lever ; a retaining-piece w, Fig. 2<a>, having a pin taking into a hole in the handle, may replace the guide - grooves and retaining - device formed in the handles. The link 6 in the tractor may be dispensed with, the cord being attached to the lower end of the handle, which may be provided with a spike or pin s to engage with the forceps handle so as to exert a leverage on the cord e. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the cord passes round the forceps handles, and through a guide-groove or grooves attached to one or both handles, to the tractor 19. Several modifications are described in which an adjustable loop passed round the handles is adapted to be constricted by tractor pieces acting as levers fulcrumed at the forceps handles. In other modifications, such as that shown in Fig. 7, the handles are similarly compressed by means of the wedging action of divergent projecting arms 33, 34 operated by a lever tractor 32 hinged to the forceps handles by pins 30. Fig. 10 shows a modified Le Page tractor 61 adapted to be used in conjunction with the constricting-cord e, the end of which is attached to a cross-piece 19 as shown in Fig. 3.

Abstract: 12,482. Knabe, B. von, and Zawadzki, J. May 29. Pile fabrics; carpets.-In weaving figured warppile fabrics or carpets resembling Smyrna, Savonnerie, Imperial, and Persian carpets, a series of pile warps B, C, D, Fig. 3, are provided for each pair of ground warps A, S, and each selected pile warp is looped under the warp A and bound in by a weft 1, so that, after cutting, the pile tufts are in the form of two parallel "J's" connected by their short arms. Wefts 2, 3 are inserted between the rows of tufts. Looms, pile forming and cutting in; healds and leashes; shedding-motions; comber - boards.-In a loom for weaving the fabrics described above, each ground warp A, Fig. 2, passes between healds II through the upper loop of a heald I, which may be provided with a mail, and through the loops of U -shaped pile warp healds b, c, d, e to a reed space. The warp S passes through the mail of a heald II and past all the other healds to the same or an adjacent reed space. The pile warps B, C, D, E pass from separate spools between the healds II, through the loop of a heald I, and through the mails of their healds b, c, d, e to the same reed space as the warp A. The warps B, C, D pass through the loops of the healds c, d, e, and d, e, and e respectively. The ends of each pile-warp heald are attached to jacquard leashes passing through adjacent comber-board openings in a row parallel to the lay. The comber-board is extended to one or both sides in accordance with the width of the fabric, and counterweights are suspended from the jacquard leashes. When the warp B, say, is to be woven in to form a tuft, the end b<1> of its heald is raised and the end b<11> is lowered, while the ends c<11>, d<11>, e<11> of the other healds are raised and the ends c<1>, d<1>, e<1> are lowered. The warp B is thereby looped under the warp A. Each pile-warp heald may otherwise consist of two loops each attached to a jacquard leash, and the pile warp passes through each loop, while the warp A passes between the loops. The loops may be cut by means of knife-bars r, Fig. 3, or by shearing.

Title: Improved System of Steam Utilization and Distribution for Combined Power and Heating Operations.
Inventor: WEEKES ROBERT WILLSHER
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1909-06-09
Abstract: 27,032. Weekes, R. W., and Morcom, R. K. June 9, 1908. Turbines.-Relates to a system of steam distribution in factories that require steam for manufacturing processes at two or more temperatures, in which there is an unlimited demand for steam at the higher temperature, and in which the production of mechanical power is a by-product. A multipleexpansion engine or turbine, or a combined engine and turbine is employed, having automaticallyacting valves for regulating the supply of beating- steam taken from various parts ot the engine. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the pressure in the exhaust or low-temperature steam supply m operates a piston r connected to a valve n, p, which controls the intermediate exhaust f by means of a piston n and the higher-pressure steam supply o by means of a piston p. On a rise of pressure in the exhaust m, the valve is raised and diverts the steam from the low-pressure inlet g to the higherpressure steam supply o. A diagrammatic arrange. ment is shown in Fig. 2 of an engine having high, intermediate, and low pressure stages c, e, h, a main inlet a, an outlet m to a condenser, and higher and lower temperature steam-supply chambers o, j. When the pressure in the chamber j exceeds the desired limit, the high-temperature steam-outlet valve t is opened, and the intermediate steam inlet v is closed by a relay w. When the pressure in the chamber o exceeds the desired limit, a throttle valve x is closed by a relay w. The steam-governing valves b<1>, b<2>, b<3> are so arranged that the valve b3 commences to open only after the valves b<1>, b<2> have opened wide. If, with a rise in pressure in the chamber o, the engine continues to fall in speed, the valve b<3> will open and permit steam to pass through the last stage h of the engine to the condenser, thereby increasing the power and speed.
