Title: Improvements in or relating to Stamping or Perforating Machines for Leather and other Light Materials.
Filed: 1908-03-06
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 5091. Gimson & Co., and Keats, S. March 6. Embossing.-Relates to stamping or perforating machines for leather and other light articles such as are used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, and particularly to the machine described in Specification No. 4580, A.D. 1905. Between the stamping-member and its actuating rocking-beam, mechanism is provided, which is manually operable to cause the motion of the beam to be transmitted to the stamping-member. This mechanism consists of a pivoted link located between jaws 13, 14 at the upper end of the stamping member or plunger 9 and the front end of the continuously-operated rocking-beam respectively. Near the upper end of the link is an elongated slot 15, through which passes a flattened pin 16 carried in the jaw 14 of the rocking-beam. Normally, as the beam oscillates, this pin merely rides up and down in its slot ; but, by swinging the link 11 to the right, Fig. 1, a removable shoulder 17 is brought under the pin, and the link 11 and plunger are then moved downwards by the beam. The upper end of the pin at this time is practically in engagement with the upper end of its slot, so that the plunger will be moved upwards positively as well as downwards. The pin 16 is allowed a slight rotary movement to prevent jamming. The movement of the link 11 into operative position is effected through a core or chain 22 connected to a hand-lever, or to a treadle, while its return movement, when released, is effected by a spring 21. To guide and hold the link 11 in operative position, it is sometimes provided with a removable projection 24, which engages a fixed cam-face 25.

Patent GB-190821955-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with the Distribution of Electricity by Means of Transformers.
Inventor: ANNACKER JOSEPH PETER
Filed: 1908-10-16
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 21,955. Annacker, J. P. Oct. 16. Distributing; switches.-In a transformer distribution system, the circuits of the main transformer primary and secondary windings are completed and the secondary circuit of a smaller transformer is broken, when the load increases, by means of a relay adapted to close the circuit of the main switch winding, while an electromagnetically-actuated catch is arranged to release the main switch when the load falls to a predetermined value. The primary winding of the transformer 18 is permanently connected, to the supply mains 1, 20, while the secondary circuit, connected to the secondary mains 17, 9, contains the winding 26 of a relay adapted to close the circuit of the winding 30 of the main switch through contacts 31, 32. The hold-on catch 33 of the main switch is governed by a solenoid 34, the circuit of which is controlled by a contact 24. The contact 24 is controlled by the action of a movable coil 19 placed in the circuit of the auxiliary primary winding, and two fixed opposing-coils 5, 6, 13, 14 are placed in the primary and secondary circuits of the main transformer 2 respectively. When the load upon the system is light, the main switch occupies the position shown, the transformer 18 then supplying the load. When the load reaches a predetermined amount, the solenoid 26 operates to close the circuit of the main switch winding. The main switch then closes the circuit of the main transformer through the contacts 4, 3 10, 11, and simultaneously opens the secondary circuit of the auxiliary transformer, the switch being held in its closed position by means of the latch 33. When the load falls to its predetermined amount, the contact 24 closes the circuit of the coil 34, thereby releasing the latch 33 and allowing the main switch to fall under the action of gravity or a spring to close again the secondary circuit of the transformer 18.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Regulating the Supply of Feed-water to Steam Generators and the like and in High and Low Water Alarms therefor.
Inventor: NOYES EDWARD PARISH
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1909-12-28
Abstract: 28,274. Noyes, E. P. Dec. 28. Actuating valves.-Relates to apparatus for regulating the supply of feed-water to steam generators and the like, and of the kind in which the feed-supply valve is operated by the difference in pressure on the opposite sides of a flexible diaphragm. The invention consists chiefly in improvements in the apparatus described in Specification No. 22,383, A..D. 1905, with the addition of a high and low water alarm. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the apparatus. A watercolumn fitting 11 is connected to the water and steam spaces of the boiler, and is provided with a central pipe 16 reaching from the normal water level to a considerable height above the fitting 11. The upper end oE the pipe 16 opens into a waterpot 27, which is connected by a pipe 25 to the underside of a flexible diaphragm 21. The upper side of the diaphragm is connected by the pipe 24 to a second water-pot 26 surrounding the pipe 16 and in communication with the steam space of the fitting 11 through the annular passage 56. The pipes 24, 25 are kept full of water. The motion of the diaphragm is imposed upon a pilot valve 50 controlling the water pressure in a cylinder 51, the piston 52 of which is attached to the main feedvalve 18. Water from the anterior side of the main valve leaks into the cylinder 51 through a small valve 53, and is liberated to the posterior side of the main valve through a port 54 controlled by the pivot valve. The valve 18 may be weighted by a weight-hanger 57 screwed into the valve, and may also be kept open if desired by a screw 59, in which position the port 54 is closed by a projection 58. The pressure on the upper side of the diaphragm is constant and that on the underside varies according to whether the lower end of the pipe 16 is sealed or unsealed. The steam, and any air remaining in the pipe 16 after it has been unsealed and again sealed, escape through a thermostatic tube 28, Figs. 1 and 5, and a port 29 controlled by a valve 34. The valve seat is carried by the thermostatic tube 28, and, when this contains boiler steam, its expansion causes the closing of the valve 34, which is spring-controlled to prevent strain. The valve 34 is adjusted by a screwed thimble 37, and may be adjusted so as never to be quite closed but to provide a small release for the escape of permanent gases.
