Patent GB-190514452-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Practice Apparatus for Games.
Inventor: BALL FREDERICK JAMES
Filed: 1905-07-13
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 14,452. Ball, F. J. July 13. Balls.- Relates to an attachment for golf and like balls whereby their flight is shortened, and whereby also they can easily be found. A piece of bright coloured, preferably red, tape d, or tape enamelled with a bright red colour, is passed through a loop at one end of a piece of stiff window-blind cord b or the like, the other end of which is also looped and secured by means of a hook c to a flatheaded and deep-threaded screw a inserted in the ball. The hook c is made from steel wire, and it is prevented. from becoming disengaged from the screw by a guard c<1> made from finer wire, which is bent to cover the point of the hook, and also to form two eyes, one on each side of the eye of the hook. The cord c is passed through the eyes of the guard as well as the hook. Before the hook c is hooked on to the screw, the cord b, which may be enamelled to both waterproof and stiffen it, is pulled through a piece of rubber tubing, which is long enough to cover the hook c and the head of the screw a at the one end of the cord as well as the loop through which the tape is passed. Pieces of waxed thread are wound round the lower end of the tubing, to hold it in place, and also to hold the guard c<1 >closed.

Granted: 1906-10-23
Abstract: 21,485. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Hall, R. F. Oct. 23. Switches.-Spring contacts are forced into good contact with the switch blade by a framework carriedby the blade. The blade b passes between the contacts a<1>, a<2>, Fig. 3, when the switch is closed. The frame or fork c, which is attached to the blade near the handle, passes over the contacts a<1>, a<2>, thus preventing them from spreading and securing a large contact-surface. This arrangement may be duplicated at both ends of the blade of a doublebreak switch. A modified form of attachment d, Figs. 2 and 4, carries two U-shaped pieces d', d'. These pass over flat projecting tongues e<1>, e<2> attached to the base of the switch.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Stays or Guy Ropes for Masts, Posts or the like.
Inventor: CHUTE LOUIS PRINCE
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 2429. Chute, L. P. Jan. 31. Rigging.-A de vice for releasing a stay or guy - rope more particularly applicable to the back-stay of a sail ing-boat, consists o: a frame 7 journaled at 8 to the housing 6, the lower part o: which carries a wheel 9 having two series of teeth 10,11 The teeth 11 grip the rope 18 between the wheel and the housing, and the teeth 10 are o: ratchet form, so as to lock the wheel against similar teeth in the housing. The rope 18 passes round the pulley 14 on the frame 7 and over the sheave 15 fastened to the stay. When the boom strikes against the stay, as in gibing, it turns the link 7 about the pivot 8 and frees the rope 18, thus releasing the stay. A stop 19 is provided to prevent the frame 7 from moving too far. In a modified form, the ratchet teeth 10 are held by a spring-actuated pawl 20, Fig. 6, and are released by the stop 19. In another form the teeth are rounded, as shown in Fig. 8, and serve both to lock the rope 18 and the wheel in the housing 6.

Patent GB-190607276-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Regulating Devices for Incandescent Gas Burners.
Inventor: WERWATH ERICH HANS OSWALD
Filed: 1906-03-26
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 7276. Werwath, E. H. O. March 26. Incandescent gas lamps.-The usual rotary hit- and-miss valve for controlling the air supply to the interior of the Bunsen tube is rigidly or otherwise connected to a second hit-and-miss valve for controlling the air supply ascending between the burner and the chimney to the exterior of the mantle, so that the internal and the external air supplies are simultaneously regulated ; or, if desired, these connected air-supply valves may be actuated by the turning of the gas cock, in which case both the internal and the external air supplies and the gas supply are simultaneously regulated. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the sleeve 11 controlling the air supply to the burner inlets 12 is formed in one piece with the burner body 5, in the bottom 6 of which are holes 8 forming a bit- and-miss valve with corresponding holes 9 in a flange 7 on the burner 10. Thus by turning the burner body 5, the air supplies through the tubes 13 to the burner inlets 12, and through the holes 8, 9 to the exterior of the mantle are simultaneously operated. If the burner body 5 is connected by quadrants 16, 17 or their equivalents to the gas cock 15, the position of the gas cock determines the quantity of air supplied. In a modification, the valve 8, 9 controlling the external air supply is arranged above the burner inlets 12.

The rollers e are mounted in bearing- plates I, i attached to the roller a, which is turned down from, and is integral with a rod A. On this rod is freely mounted a threaded sleeve C carrying a nut C<1>. Two hooks c pivoted on the nut are adapted to engage in the rim, so that on turning the sleeve by means of the handle b, the sleeve is moved forward, butts against the bearing-plate I, and forces the rollers between the tyre and rim. The sleeve, nut with hooks, and handle are then retracted along the rod A, and a bearing with top clampplate is placed under the rod. By means of a spring catch, the handle interlocks with the rod A so that the roller a, together with the rollers e, can be rotated, these rollers having inter-meshing teeth. The bearing for the tool is pivotally mounted on a foot P, Fig. 7, the tool being thereby adapted for use in replacing or removing the tyre. On an extension P' to the foot P, a jack J for supporting the axle of the wheel can be placed,
