Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 21,926. Lampson, Sophia, Lady. Oct. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Tyres, pneumatic; felloes or rims. - The air chambers b of a sectional tyre are prevented from creeping by blocks d, preferably of resilient material, fixed by [engaging projections, or by nuts, or in any suitable way to the rim a, preferably at the places where adjacent sections meet. Each section is fitted with a valve e which projects through the rim, or with a valve which does not engage with the rim ; in the latter case, the sections are slipped laterally on the rim, which has a removable side flange. The sections may be moulded to fit over the blocks d, and may be corrugated or roughened where they engage the blocks and abut against each other. In some cases, Fig. 2, the rim has raised parts f to form projections. In modifications, there are recesses in the rim either at the centres of the air chambers or where they meet ; or the chambers are prevented from creeping by corrugations engaging corrugations on an ordinary rim. The sections may be covered by one complete cover or by separate covers h, Fig. 6, which may have openings at their bases for introducing the air chambers. The separate covers are encircled by a leather or other band k, which may have means for preventing slipping, let into grooves on their treads. The bases of the sectional covers may have beads for engaging with the rim, and their abutting parts have engaging tongues and grooves.

Granted: 1907-03-20
Abstract: 26,614. Burrows, T., Palmer, W. H., and Matheson, A. Dec. 20. Decorticating ramie, hemp, &c. ; breaking and scutching apparatus; heckling - machines. - A machine for decorticating and scutching, and, if desired, partially combing, ramie, hemp, and the like is constructed so that the stems, which are crushed either on a separate machine or by plain or fluted rollers arranged at the feed end, are fed to and laid across a travelling chain or cable gripper, whereby the longer overhanging ends are carried between a pair of travelling chains, sheets, or other carriers on which scrapers, and, in some cases, brushes and combs, are mounted and arranged, so that those on one sheet intersect those on the other, the stems thus cleaned at one end being transferred by hand or automatically to another similar or other gripper, which carries the other, and now the longer projecting end between another pair of similar chains, sheets, or carriers also provided with scrapers &c. The grippers consist of travelling chains 18, 19, 20, the outer ones of which travel in channels secured to a stationary plate 22 pressed down by springs 24. The front ends of the channels are bent up to facilitate the entry of the stems. The scrapers 12, which may have a plain edge throughout, or be formed partly with a plain edge, partly with coarse serrations 13, and partly with fine serrations 14, and, in some cases, with comb teeth or brushes so as to act gradually on the crushed stems as they are carried past the scrapers, are detachably secured to travelling chains or carriers 11 carried by sprocketwheels, and one or both carriers are rendered adjustable vertically, horizontally, or otherwise by the adjustable mounting of the shafts 3, 4, 5, 6 carrying the sprocket-wheels, and by the provision of adjustable supports 46, 47 or side guides in which the ends of the scrapers travel. This adjustment, together with the adjustable spacing and interchangeability of the scrapers, some of which may be replaced by brushes 15 and combs, renders the machine adaptable for treating various kinds of fibres. The drive imparted to the pulleys 25 is transmitted by the chain 41 and gearing 44,45 to the first pair of carriers, and through gearing 28, 29, 30 to the second pair. The main shaft 27 drives through worm gearing 31, 32 and spur gearing 34<a> at the back end of the machine the pulleys of the second set of gripper chains, and the front set is driven from these through a chain 36 and shaft 38. By changing the worm 31 and worm-wheel 32, or the spur gear 34a, or introducing a variable-speed gear or change-speed gear, in the train, the relative speeds of the grippers and scraper sheets may be varied.

Patent GB-190607425-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Reversible Rotary Tipplers for Discharging Coal and other Minerals.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
Filed: 1906-03-28
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 7425. Smith, A., and Green, F. March 28. Tipping-apparatus. - Reversible rotary tipplers driven by friction or spur gearing are rotated in either direction, and automatically braked at the completion of a revolution, or when the motion is reversed suddenly, by the manipulation of a single hand-lever. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of the tippler and controlling-mechanism ; the former is rotated in the direction for tipping, by movement of the starting-lever B to the right ; this withdraws the pin E from a stop on the end surface of the tippler, and also clutches the loose bevel-wheel M to the shaft K by means of a sliding clutch element L operated by levers on a rock-shaft Y controlled by links G, P. The shaft K carries friction or spur driving and supporting wheels engaging the periphery of the tippler, and may when necessary, be connected by chain gearing Y to a shaft at the other side of the apparatus carrying similar wheels which under ordinary circumstances only act as supporting-wheels. In some cases a single driving-wheel and three other supporting-wheels may be used. When the rotary movement has commenced, the starting-handle is released, and is then moved by the counterweight B' until the roller F engages a track on the end face of the tippler. When the revolution is complete, the roller enters a recess in the track, and the lever returns to its original position, thereby returning the clutch-member L to the central inoperative position, and at the same time applying a brake band to the pulley R on the shaft K, by means of the links N, 0, T. To reverse the motion of the tippler at any point, the pivoted handle U is raised against the action of the balance weight i<1>, thereby transmitting motion to the link H which has a pin-and-slot connexion with the lever P. During the first part of the movement, the lever G is raised, and thereby released from the lever P, by the lateral displacement of the recess in the lever H<1> relatively to the pulley G<1>. Afterwards, the lever H operates the rock-shaft V through the lever P and clutches the bevel-wheel M" to the driving shaft. A spring catch engages a notch in the link C and maintains the clutch in position until the wheel F reaches the recess in the track, when the mechanism is re-adjusted automatically into the correct position for forward motion, and the brake applied. The bevel-wheels M, M<11> are driven from a central bevel-wheel on a suitably-driven power shaft.

Title: Device for Automatically Balancing the Axial Pressure on Rotating Vane-carrying Parts of Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: LJUNGSTROEM BIRGER
Filed: 1907-04-10
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 8379. Ljungstr÷m, B. April 11, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-End thrust in elastic-fluid turbines is automatically balanced by the use of pressure chambers containing balancing - pistons packed by baffling-devices, the passages through the last being varied by the axial shifting of the shaft, thereby varying the balancing pressure. A radial-flow turbine with oppositely-running rotors is shown in Fig. 1. Different forms of the invention are shown applied to the two rotors. The rotors j, k have a tendency to separate, which is counteracted by the pressure in chambers q. The working fluid is admitted by an inlet l and passes along channels m in the left-hand rotor to the space between the rotors. A portion of the fluid passes through channels m in the right-band rotor and is admitted to the chamber q through a baffling- device p, the fluid eventually flowing away through a baffling-device o. These baffling - devices are so situated that on the axial shifting of the rotor the leakage is increased in one and diminished in the other, thereby varying the pressure in the chamber q. In the case of the left-hand rotor, the baffling-device p consists of a single constriction. The invention may be applied to parallel - flow turbines with stepped drums. The turbine drums are shown on the left of Fig. 2, and the balancing- pistons on the right. Steam is admitted through au inlet e and flows right and left. Baffling-devices f, are arranged so that on the axial shifting of the shaft the leakage increases through one set and diminishes through the other. In a modification the baffling-devices r<1>, s<1>, Fig. 3, are formed with a conical section. In this modification the balancing pressure acts on a disk separate from, but secured to, the vane-carrying disk.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Controllers for Electric Motors and the like.
Filed: 1907-07-29
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 17,361. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. July 30, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motors, controlling.-The invention relates to a method of series-parallel motor control in which the armature of each motor is permanently connected directly to its field, and consists in providing two additional parallel positions, one for reversing and one for braking. The latter position brakes equally after forward or reverse running. Four positions of the controller handle place the motors (1) in series and with resistance in circuit, (2) in series without resistance, (3) in series with fields shunted through a resistance, and (4) in parallel. The reversing position changes the current direction in either the armatures or their fields. The latter plan is effected in Fig. 7, each end of the battery being connected to points 5, 6, each point lying between an armature and its field. Resistances 9, 10 are placed between each armature and the field of the other motor. Fig. 6 shows the braking position, the feathered arrows showing the current direction after reverse running. The residual magnetism of each field induces a reverse current in each armature, and the currents in both motors tend to extinguish each other. On the assumption that the motor 1 is stronger than the motor 2, the prevailing direction of the braking current will be clockwise. The points 5, 6 are also connected through a resistance 11. Resistance may also be included in the braking circuit, and in Fig. 7 the connexions between the battery and the points 5, 6 may be reversed to change the direction of the armature instead of the field currents.
