Title: Apparatus for Determining the Opening of Pigeon Traps.
Inventor: HANNAY JAMES HENRY
Filed: 1905-01-19
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 1055. Hannay, J. H. Jan. 19. Trap-shooting.-Relates to an apparatus for electrically releasing one or more pigeon traps, by chance, so that the marksman is ignorant of the trap to be operated. Reference is made to Specification No. 12,257, A.D. 1892, [Abridgment Class Coin-freed apparatus &c.]. Metal balls or the like, contained in a hopper o', pass into a hole in a slide p<3>, Fig. 4, which is reciprocated by a spring- controlled rod q, connected through link-work to an armature r' of an electro-magnet. At the end of the stroke of the slide p<2>, the ball falls through holes in a box p and its supporting-plate f<1> on to a raceway g<5> on a disk g<4> fixed to a plate g<1> on a shaft e, which is rotated by clock-work, adjustable as regards speed. The ball is retained in position on the disk g<4> by a stop o<2>, until one of the holes g<6> in the raceway g<5> registers with it. In this position, the ball drops on to the plate g<1>, where it is held by a stop o<3> until it falls into one of the inclined shoots h. By this it is carried round on a fixed plate f until it falls through a hole in that plate leading to one of the compartments in a switch box i, where it is held between a bladespring i', Fig. 5, and the nose j<1> of a detent. On the circuit being again completed, a lever k, by means of its connexion with the armature of an electro-magnet, oscillates the detent j, allowing the ball to fall and make contact between the spring i<2> and the portion j<2> of the detent. This contact completes the circuit of a current, which releases one of the traps, the detent j assuming its original position under the action of a spring attached to the lever k and releasing the ball, which falls through a channel leading to an outlet m<1>. The detent j may be actuated by pneumatic pressure.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Incandescent Gas Mantles and the Manufacture thereof.
Inventor: STILL WILLIAM MUDD
Filed: 1905-11-28
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 24,634. Still, W. M., and Adamson, A.G. Nov. 28. Incandescent gas lamps.-Mantles, especially those of the kind described in Specification No. 6179, A.D. 190@5, are, during the process of incineration, shrunk on to mandrels or moulds to ensure greater accuracy as regards shape and size. The mantle to be incinerated is secured by an asbestos thread 6 to a ring 5, which is mounted upon a mandrel or mould 4 carried by a tube 3 when the parts cccupy the raised position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. By means of a pivoted lever 9, the tube 3 is lowered upon a pillar 1 until the flame at low pressure from the Bunsen burner 7 plays upon that portion of the mantle adjacent to the ring 5, thus shrinking gradually this part of. the mantle before the upper part has become hardened. The pressure of the flame is then increased, and the mandrel is subsequently lowered to enable the high-pressure flame to complete the incineration and the hardening of the remainder of the mantle. A mantle so treated will tend in use to shrink slightly at that part where oxidation has been retarded, and thus adjust itself to the burner to which it is applied. The mandrel or mould may be formed with a corrugated or'uneven surface to impart a corresponding form to the mantle. The Bunsen burner shown in Fig. 1 may be replaced by the blowpipe burner shown in Fig. 2, in which low-pressure gas from the ring 7<a> is directed upon the mantle by the jets of compressed air from the ring 10.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines
Inventor: MILCH MAURICE
Filed: 1906-04-02
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 7919. Milch, M. April 3,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating ; field magnets.-The cur. rent-output of a generator is kept substantially constant over a wide variation of speed or with wide variations of resistance in the external circuit by producing in the machine a strong cross-field and utilizing the current induced in the armature by this cross-field for demagnetizing the main field. The field magnet is provided with four poles and two main coils C, which render the poles 1, 2 of one polarity and the poles 3, 4 of the opposite polarity, the field magnet being therefore bipolar. The brushes B feeding the external circuit aro placed at or near the neutral points of the main field, and tend to produce a field at right-angles to the main field, this tendency being opposed and overwhelmed by a set of coils D, in series with the brushes B and the external circuit, which give rise to a cross-field inducing an electromotive force in the armature which is a maximum at the points B'. At these points, there is placed a second set of brushes supplying current to two sets of coils E, F. The coils E assist the coils D in producing the cross-field, while the coils F oppose the magnetizing effect of the main coils C. The coils E tend to make the machine more responsive to variations in the armature currents, but may be omitted, if desired. In modifications, the armature current between the brushes B may be utilized to produce the cross field, the coils D being either omitted or connected up to assist the armature current, or the brushes B<1> may be directly short-circuited without the interposition of the coils E, F. In both these cases, however, sparking at the brushes is increased.

Abstract: 18,208. Kleinebreil, W. Aug. 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Overwinding, preventing.-Relates to mechanism for operating the reversing-lever and the brake lever of a winding-engine for mine cages, in the event of the cage being lifted above a certain point, and consists in arranging the mechanism so that the reversing-lever is first released and brought back to its central position, and then after a certain time has elapsed the braking-lever is released and brought to its operative position, the reversing-lever being meanwhile free to be operated by the engine-man. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the tappet mechanism on the depth indicator and Fig. 3 the means for releasing the reversing and braking levers. On the disk a, driven from the engine shaft, an angular catch c is arranged, pivoted on an axle b, and adapted to strike levers f, g when the cage is near one or other end of its travel. The two levers f, g are connected by links so as to move together, and are arranged to rock a shaft n, which carries a double arm q connected by links to a pair of sliding rods 1, 2. The reversing-lever quadrant 3 is provided with grooves in which the rods 1, 2 slide, these rods being adapted to release the catch 5 of the reversing- lever 4. On the occurrence of an overwind, the catch c operates one of the levers f, g, rocks the shaft n, and releases the catch of the reversing- lever, which is brought back to central position by a counterweight &c. The brake lever 7 is normally held in the off position by a retaining- catch, which is released by a link 9 having a pin- and-slot connexion, so that the brake catch is not released until a certain time after the reversing- lever has been brought to central position.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Wheel Tyres or Treads of Leather Hide or Skin.
Inventor: BOWRON WILLIAM MAJOR
Filed: 1906-09-12
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 20,314. Bowron, W. M. Sept. 12. Tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.-In tyres of the type described in Specification No. 19,334, A.D. 1905, wherein layers of leather &c. are placed side by side so as to present their outer circumferential edge as the tread, the layers being held in position by and between side flanges attached to the felloe, the layers are subjected to a lateral pressure, varying from two cwts. to one ton or more per square inch, so that all the moisture is pressed out of the leather. Pressure is applied to the layers either before they are placed on the rim, or by the flanges when the layers are in place, and is maintained during the use of the tyre so as to prevent reabsorption of moisture. Before the leather is subjected to pressure, it may be softened by soaking in water or in a solution of gum, or glue or varnish &c. The leather is held in position between a fixed flange D' and a detachable flange E, or by two detachable flanges ; outside of these flanges are placed two flanges F, F<1> removable when the tread wears down. The tyre is placed on the rim D, Fig. 2, or directly on the felloe ; or it may rest on a rubber cushion L, Fig. 4, the side flanges M, M<1> being capable of some radial movement. Metal washers may be interposed between the layers of leather. The tyre may be continuous, or it may be formed continuous and then cut into sections ; or it may be formed in sections and mounted in metal holders to be attached to the wheel. In some cases, when the tyre has been compressed sufficiently to be self-supporting, the side flanges may be dispensed with. Emery powder, metal filings, powdered flint, &c. may be distributed over the surface of the leather before the layers are subjected to pressure.

Title: Improvements in Means for Delivering Measured Quantities of Liquid.
Inventor: BIRD FREDERICK CHARLES
Filed: 1906-11-26
Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 26,861. Bird, F. C. Nov. 26. Milk cans.- Cans, especially those for milk, are provided with h a measuring chamber and valves for drawing off a definite volume of liquid. In the hollow bottom of the can is placed the measuring-chamber k with the admission and delivery valves f, g, both of which have a certain extent of free play upon the spindle e. The admission valve can move between the stop m and the upper end of a tube o, which is also fixed to the spindle, while the lower end of the tube, together with the cap z, controls the play of the delivery valve. Both valves have washers to prevent leakage, and are forced apart by the spring q; a spring n presses the spindle normally downwards, and leakage around the lower end of the spindle is prevented by the pressure of the valve washer with the edge of a cap i<2> formed in the removable base. The vent pipe t and the key lever for raising the spindle are both provided with suitable covers to exclude dust, and the arrangement ensures that when the key is depressed the admission valve closes before the delivery valve opens, while upon release the reverse action takes place.

Title: An Improved Automatic Voltage Regulator for Dynamos.
Inventor: NEELEY GEORGE SPENCER
Filed: 1906-12-18
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 28,848. Neeley, G. S. Dec. 18. Dynamos, regulating.- In order to maintain constant the voltage of a dynamo subject to variations of speed or supplying current to a variable load, a resistance in the shunt-field circuit of the exciter, or in the shuntfield circuit of the main machine if self-excited, is automatically varied by the differential action of electro-magnets energized, respectively, by the shuntfield current and the main current, a resistance having a negative temperature coefficient being connected in shunt with the variable resistance. As shown in Fig. 1, the shunt - field C of the exciter A of an alternating-current generator B is connected in series with a resistance 2 in shunt with an electric arc, the length of which is determined by electro-magnets 1, 7 acting in opposition, the solenoid 1 being in series with ne shoot-field winding C and the solenoid 7 connected across the secondary 6 of a series transformer 5 in the main circnit. The pull of the solenoid 7 is assisted by an adjustable spring 12, and is opposed by a solenoid 11 connected across the mains g, f. When the apparatus is used to regulate an alternating-current generator as shown, a yielding connexion, preferably in the form of a spring 9<a>, connects the rod 9, on which the cores 8, 10 are fixed, to the armature 3<a>. The resistance 2 preferably takes the form of carbon incandescent lamps capable of carrying about 80 per cent of the shunt-field current when heated to incandescence, the carbon being such as to decrease in resistance with increase in temperature. To admit of properly adjusting the magnets and the contact 4 of the arc resistance, they are monnted on vertical rods 15, Fig. 2, in a casing 16. The movable contact 3 and armature 3<a> are arranged on a pivot rod 3<b> having pointed ends bearing in sockets in the ends of screws 24. When the invention is applied to a self - exciting generator, the transformers are unnecessary.
Patent GB-190712440-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Ordnance Breech Mechanism.
Filed: 1907-05-29
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 12,440. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Sept. 5, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-A slip-lock firing- mechanism of the kind described in Specification No. 13,649, A.D. 1901, is arranged so as to be cocked during the opening of the breech, and may be released either automatically or by hand on the closing of the breech In the event of a missfire, the lock is used as an ordinary slip-lock. The cocking- lever F, Figs. 2 and 3, is mounted upon a shaft F<1>, which carries at one extremity an arm F<2>, Fig. 9. During the opening of the breech, a shoulder c<3> on the block-actuating crank C acts upon a projection f<3> on the arm F<2> and presses back the cocking-lever F. In this position, the arm F<2> is held by a pawl G which is pressed by its spring g<3>, Fig. 5, into engagement with the notch f<5> in the arm, and by a stop h<3> on a plate H<2> rigidly mounted upon the end of the trigger-shaft H and rotated into the looking position by the trigger-spring H<4>. The trigger-shaft is in two parts H, J. the latter being mounted in the wall of the breech and adapted to engage the part H by means of a projection i<2> which enters a slot h<5> in the shaft H as the block B is raised for closing. During the closing movement of the block, a nose c<3> on the crank C strikes an arm g<4> on the pawl G and releases the pawl froin the notch f<5>, so that the firing-mechanism is then only held by the stop h<3>. The firing may be effected by hand, by pulling the trigger K, Fig. 14, in the direction of the arrow v. If, however, the trigger K is held back during the closing of the breech, the shaft H is rotated to release the arm F<2> by the engagement of the projection i on the shaft J, with the slot h<5>, and the firing is effected automatically. If a missfire results, the trigger K is again pulled so as to rotate the shaft H sufficiently to cause the trigger H<1>, Fig. 3, to engage with the sear F<6> of the slip-lock. This rotation also causes an arm J<1>, Fig. 2, mounted on the outer end of the shaft J, to become disengaged from a notch m<3> in the hub of a second spring-pressed trigger M pivoted to the breesh of the gun. The trigger M may then be pulled, and acts, through a projection m<4>, upon the lever J<1> and rotates the shaft J, and hence the shaft H, to actuate the sliplock'in the ordinary manner. The trigger K and shaft J are connected as shown in Fig. 14, so as to allow of the further rotation of the shaft J by the trigger M.
