Title: Improvements in Carburetters.
Inventor: DANSEY HAMILTON
Filed: 1906-10-23
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 23,561. Dansey, H. Oct. 23. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. Relates to a carburettor chiefly intended for explosion motors and capable of being used with paraffin or petrol. The conical chamber a is corrugated, and has a circular extension d in which the piston f works. This piston is provided with holes g, and its interior surface is corrugated. It is mounted, together with the fuel valve n, on the rod h which is loaded by springs q. The motion of the rod h is limited by an adjustable arm s. The fuel enters by the pipe i, and passes through a saw-cut m in the spigot l formed on the valve n. The motor suction acting through the passage b draws down the piston f, so that fuel from the pipe i and air from the pipe e pass to the motor cylinder. The air entering at e may be heated, and the mixture may, after leaving the carburettor, be passed through a hot chamber before entering the cylinder.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Life Guards for Tramcars and like Vehicles
Inventor: CARTER JAMES
Filed: 1907-03-23
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 7011. Carter, J., and Fletcher, H. H. March 23. Wheel guards and obstruction-removers. - In a lifeguard for tramcars and like vehicles, in which a pivoted tray is so weighted as to rest normally with its front end raised from the ground, the tray is coupled to a swinging gate, and means are provided to keep the gate raised after it has been swung in by an obstruction. The transverse bar b<1> of the tray b, which is so weighted that its front end b<2> is normally raised, is embraced by the forked end of a sliding rod c, the down-turned end c<4> of which is partly plain and partly serrated by ratchet teeth. The pressure of the overhung gate member j on the smooth part lowers the tray, and the engagement of a pawl c<5> with the teeth on the gate maintains the latter in a raised position, as shown in dotted lines. A pivoted pawl may be used to return the gate to verticality after an impact. In the modification shown in Fig. 1<A>, the gate carries rigidly a toothed wheel c<6> which gears with teeth on the underside of the bar c. A notch c<7> in the bar engages a bracket d when the gate is swung in and so holds it up. The fork c<1> carries a bearing- roller c<3>, and, when the brackets a are carried by a bogie frame, the bar b<1> of the tray is bent to a circular arc to accommodate the swivelling.

Title: Improvements in Keyless Watches
Inventor: HOLLAND ERNEST ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-10-27
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 22,791. Holland, E. A. Oct. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Keyless mechanism.-A wheel 4, which is always in gear with the stem-pinion 15, is supported so that it can move more laterally in order to gear with either the winding-wheel 3 or the hand-setting wheel 2. When the stem 1 is pushed in the wheel 4 is kept in gear with the wheel 3 by a spring 8 acting on the arbor 7. When the stem is pulled outwards, an elbow lever 11, the bent end 13 of which engages with a groove in the stem, is moved, and its other end shifts the wheel 4 to the hand-setting position. In each of the two positions of the lever 11, a pin carried by it takes into a corresponding hole 23 in the spring tongues 22 of the plate 10, the tongue thus acting as a detent. A spring 20, which bears near its end against the screw 19, acts as a non-return pawl on the mainspring wheel 3.

Title: Improvements in Clips or Clamp-wrenches applicable as Tools for Removing Electric Lamp Shade Rings.
Inventor: BROADBENT DAVID LESLIE JAMES
IPC: H01K3/32
Filed: 1909-02-04
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 2730. Broadbent, D. L. J. Feb. 4. Wrenches with chucklike grip.-In a tool of the expanding-clasp type for screwing or unscrewing the rings supporting electric - lamp shades, a set of clamping-fingers, attached to a central disk and tending to spring outwards, work inside a sleeve attached to the handle, so that the fingers are closed on the ring by pressure on the handle, and are supported by the sleeve when in operation. The spring fingers c, preferably rounded, and with or without holes at y to increase their flexibility, are riveted at d to a disk of metal e guided centrally on a screw h, or between a pair of disks, and have their tops bent in at x and with portions f stamped in to form a rest for the shade ring. The pin g, fixed to the sleeve b and engaging between two of the fingers c, compels the fingers to rotate with the handle. The arms release the shade ring when the handle is shaken, but the releasing may be assisted by a spring pressing against the disk e, or by a ring n attached to a slide l with a thumb-notch m. The disk and fingers may be formed from a single stamping; or the fingers may be more or less rigid and may be spring-hinged to the disk.

Abstract: 3257. Witzenmann, E. Feb. 10. Armouring cables.-In machines for winding strip-metal sheathing on cables, in which the armouring-head revolves about the cable as the cable moves forwards, the draw-off drum r around which the finished conductor is lapped about three times, is driven with the armouring-head b by positive gearing, such as the spur gearing h, i, k, m, n and the worm gear p, q, and the wind-on drum s is driven from the draw-off drum by a belt drive t. This ensures that the draw-off mechanism and armouring-head operate together, and the belt drive t compensates for the increase in effective diameter of the drum s as it fills up.

Abstract: 10,467. Riedel, H. May 3. Screw propellers.-An aerial machine is provided with a pair of feathering-propellers rotated in opposite directions about a stationary shaft 10. The motor 5 drives a pinion 8<a> gearing with bevelwheels on the shafts 11, 12 carrying the propellers, the blades of which are capable of turning around their longitudinal axis. Mounted on the shafts 11, 12 are bevel-wheels 34, 35, 27, 28, which gear with a stationary bevel-wheel 26 secured to the shaft 10. The wheels 27, 28, 34, 35 carry pins 29, 37 which engage with slots in levers 31, 39 secured to the naves of the propeller blades. The rotation of the shafts 11, 12 causes the bevel-wheels 27, 28, 34, 35 to rotate, thereby vibrating the levers 31, 39 and feathering the propeller blades.

Abstract: 13,556. Gayley, J. June 9. Drying air.-In apparatus of the kind in which air for blast furnaces, converters, &c. is dried by passing it through chambers containing pipe coils cooled by brine, the thawing of the frost in any one of the chambers is effected by cutting the chamber out and passing through its coils the brine that has been warmed in passing through the remaining chambers. In the device shown, each of the chambers has gates whereby the air may be shut off and coils 4 supplied with cold brine through a pipe 5, the used brine passing out by a pipe 6 to the circulating-pumps. By means of valves 7, 8, the brine may be shut off from the coils in any chamber that may require thawing-out. A valve 12 is opened and the coils 4 are emptied through a pipe 9 by a small pump 10, which delivers brine to a tank 13 through a pipe 14 and a pipe 15 connected with the outlet pipe 6. When the coils are emptied, the valve 12 is shut, a valve connecting the pipes 6, 9 is opened, and, by means of the pump 10, a part of the brine that has passed through the remaining coils is passed into the tank 13, and through a pipe 18 and valve 17 into the coil to be thawed.

Abstract: 16,242. Marks, E. C. R., [Slack, W. W.]. July 12. Severing. - Consists in dividing or severing metal, such as high-speed steel, of too hard a character to be cut by ordinary cutting-tools, by causing a thin disk of abrading-material to enter and pass entirely through the metal. The disk 6, mounted on a shaft 4 driven by a pulley 5, is enclosed in a casing 7. The work-table 12 is mounted on arms 9, pivoted at 8 and movable by means of a lever 13 pivoted to the machine frame and connected to the arm 9 by a link 14 ; the length of the arms 9 allows a certain amount of spring if the work is brought too suddenly into contact with the disk. The metal stock from which a piece is to be cut is held between a longitudinal rib 17 on the work-table and a clamping member 18 attached adjustably to a slide 26 beneath the table ; the slide is also attached to a bolt 29 carrying a cam 28 movable by means of a handle 27. The cam presses against the rib 17 on the table, and its actuation causes the the member 18 to clamp the work against the rib ; the clamp is released by a spring arm 32. A gauge 34 is used when a number of pieces of equal length are to be cut from the stock. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 28,755/03.
