Title: Improvements in or relating to Brake Mechanism for Road Automobiles.
Filed: 1906-03-05
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 5297. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., and Windsor, A. W. March 5. Brakes.-The turn-buckles used for adjusting the brake rigging of automobiles are automatically locked after the adjustment has been effected.

Title: Improvements in Valves for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: TOMLINSON WALTER
Filed: 1906-04-06
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 8326. Tomlinson, W., Bourne, J. C., and Rees, G. H. April 6. Check valves; casings; seats. - In internal-combustion engines, the valves consist of balls movable in guides in cylindrical casings a n d controlled by spring- actuated plungers; wear is thereby reduced. The seating may be removable to facilitate inspection and repair as shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 1 represents an automatic inlet valve for internal - combustion engines. The ball d, guided by ribs h, is held against the seating d by a spring f in the telescopic plunger e, e<1>. The spring is thus protected from corrosion. The gas enters from the supply pipe c and passes into the combustion chamber through holes in the perforated plate g. In a modification, a solid plunger slides in the plate g and has an external spring. In the valve shown in Fig. 6, the plunger and spring are on the inlet side of the valve ; the ball can turn about the axis of the plunger, and the seating is detachable as shown at m. Fig. 8 shows an exhaust valve the ball is lifted by a mechanically-operated rod o, and the gases pass through slots a<3> and perforations p in the casing.

Patent GB-190619395-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Operating Railway or Tramway Points or Switches:
Inventor: HALLETT JOSEPH
Filed: 1906-08-30
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 19,395. Hallett, J. Aug. 30. Points and switches, railway and tramway, operated mechanically from the vehicles. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the track arrangements, and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the operating - mechanism carried by the cars. The points are normally set for the branch track by means of the springs shown and are moved over by the interaction of the shoe J, carried by the car, and the pivoted lever E. This lever normally lies across the channel in the casing A<2>, which is provided with flared ends to guide the shoe. The points are held over, after operation, by the spring- pressed catch E<2> and are automatically released by the action of the car wheels on the lever D' when the car has cleared the junction. One end of the lever D' is pressed against the track rail by the spring D<6>, the other end being connected to the bell-crank lever D and normally away from the rail. As the car wheels pass over this lever, they press it to the rails, thus retracting the catch E'. The shoe J is lowered or raised by means of the hand-wheel J<6> and screw J<1> which works in the nut J'. The nut is mounted so that it can rise in the supporting- bracket against the spring J<5>, in the event of the shoe meeting an obstruction.
Patent GB-190623603-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Appliance for Raising Weights, by a Direct Winding Action and Lowering on a Combined Removable Band-brake Controlled Handle and Suspending same.
Inventor: STEVENSON JOHN
Filed: 1906-10-24
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 23,603. Stevenson, J., and Williams, O. R. Oct. 24. Winches.-A winch is provided with a detachable handle by which raising of the load is positively effected, and lowering is controlled by a brake arranged therein, the load remaining suspended when the handle is stationary or detached. The drum a has a ratchet-wheel d engaged by a pawl g pivoted in the casing and capable of being thrown out of action by a cam-piece e carried by a loose collar e<1> engaging a curved member g<1> integral therewith. The handle i has two collars i<1>, i<2> forming bearings for a spindle k positively engaging the winding-drum; the collar is locked to the collar e<1> by a bayonet-joint. A brake pulley j is loosely mounted on the spindle k, around which passes a strap l normally applied by a spring n through a lever. i<3>. The drum j is integral with a ratchet o engaged by a spring pawl p which can be thrown out by a lever q. In operation, the load is normally suspended by the ratchet d and pawl g. On rotating the handle i in a clockwise direction, the drum a and collar e<1> move together, the pawl g being raised from the ratchet d during a part of each revolution and riding over the ratchet during the remainder. When lowering, the handle i is turned to release the pawl g by the cam e, the lever q is operated to release the pawl p, and the tension in the strap l is relieved by the handle on the lever i<3> so as to control the descent. To stop lowering, the handle i is turned to bring the pawl g again into operation. The handle is applicable to any similar winch.

Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 23,756. Granger, W. A. Oct. 25. Lubricating-pumps.-Pumps for use in forced lubrication are constructed with several independent deliveries. Two or more plungers are employed, arranged concentrically and somewhat telescopically. The largest plunger A is reciprocated by a rocking arm B and works in the cylinder D. This plunger A is bored out to form a second cylinder E which works on the hollow stationary plunger F, in one piece with the cylinder cover G. A third plunger J attached to the plunger A reciprocates in the plunger F. Each cylinder thus formed is fitted with separate supply and delivery pipes. Suction valves are not fitted, but the oil is allowed to flow into the cylinders E, M, H through passages N, P, 0, respectively, and is afterwards forced past the valves V in the delivery pipes. The number of plungers may be varied.

An air vessel A<1> is placed in the outgoing circuit and another A<2> in the return circuit. Fig. 1* is a sectional view of an air vessel, 0 being the replenishing opening and U the air valve. Fig. II shows the apparatus applied to a railway switch-operating mechanism. The rotary pump R forces the fluid to the reciprocating motor M, which is a form of Challis's engine simplified by the non-reciprocation of the vanes longitudinally, and by the latter having only a limited rotary movement. The following Specifications are referred to for the purpose of defining what is meant by the Challis engine : Nos. 1164, 1383, and 1791, A.D. 1867, No. 2758, A.D. 1868, No. 1247, A.D. 1874, No. 2499, A.D. 1875, No. 1571, A.D. 1876, No. 2716, A.D. 1877, No. 5181, A.D. 1883, Nos. 2334, 3213, and 17,572, A.D. 1890, No. 9602, A.D. 1892, No. 13,992, A.D. 1899, No. 17,484, A.D. 1900, No. 20,745, A.D. 1901, No. 1280.

Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 2121. Henley's Telegraph Works Co., W. T., and Nichols, W. H. Jan. 28. Cut-outs.-Metal boxes for electric fusible cutouts have openings for ventilation arranged in the cover between the glazing of the inspection window and the case itself. The glass &c. is cut larger than the opening, and the edges of the cover, surrounding the window, are turned inwards and shaped, so as to contact with the glazing only at intervals, leaving an approximately rightangled passage to the interior for air. Fig. 2, shows a cover arranged for a glass window C, the edges of the opening being formed with projections f and openings e, at intervals. Rabboted brackets h are formed in conjunction with these projections, to prevent lateral displacement of the glass. To prevent free moisture from entering the box, the edge of the opening makes close contact with the glass all round the lower portion, as at j, and the glass may be inclined forward. It is fixed in place by clips k and screws l. When mica is used, the brackets h are dispensed with, and the mica crosses from side to side of the cover, openings being cut in its edges to correspond with openings e for air to pass.

When a flat 34 on a roll L comes adjacent to a blank, the blank is carried down between the fluted roll L and segment M and before leaving the same has its ends trimmed by cutters 38 on shafts N which are rocked at the proper times by crank-arms 41, 42, and a cam 44 on a rod 45 reciprocated by a cam on the main shaft C. This shaft carries a pinion 48 gearing with a wheel 47 on the shaft of the roll L a disk g carrying wheels e gearing with a fixed wheel i and a pinion d on the belt pulley c, and an eccentric for oscillating the shaft G carrying the block J. The feed-wheel E is intermittently rotated by ratchet-mechanism from the shaft G, and a pusher-bar working in the magazine is reciprocated by an arm 23 on the shaft G. If the magazine becomes choked, its flexible top is lifted and then makes contact with a rod 51 forming part of an alarm apparatus carried by the block J. The rolls m, n of the straightening-device are mounted on disks j which are simultaneously rotated for adjustment purposes by means of a rod screwed at the end and a hand-nut v.
