Patent GB-190801421-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Putting up Cigarettes in Packets.
Inventor: BOULLET GEORGES
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1908-08-20
Abstract: 1421. Boullet, G. Jan. 24, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Feeding sheets.-In a machine for forming a packet and packing cigarettes therein the following feeding- mechanisms are described. In order to feed labels from the holder 63, Fig. 10, to a completed packet, a lever oscillates to transfer them to caoutchouc bands revolving in a gumcontainer. The packet and label are then forced up a guide. When cutout blanks are used, the device shown in Fig. 7 is used to forward them to the machine. The blanks are contained on a plate 141 counterweighted at 143 to press the blanks against the stops 144. An arm 146 carrying a roughened rubber block 145 is cam-actuated so as to move forwards across the top of the pile of blanks, feeding one to rollers 22, and to rise and return, thus describing a parallelogram. The pressure of the blanks against the stops 144 is relieved at each forward stroke by means of a camactuated arm 154 which, by means of a spring-pressed arm 160, turns the disc and pinion 158, lowering the rod 142. At the end of the stroke the stop 160 lifts the spring-pressed arm 160, allowing the rod to rise again. The side of the box over which the paper is fed is inclined. For feeding stamps to the gummed under surfaces of the packets, a counterweighted plunger 215, Fig. 20, rises and presses a stamp on the packet when the lever 221 rises and releases the pawls 219 on the sleeve 217 against the box 214.

Title: Improved Construction of Gas Ovens and the like.
Inventor: WILSONF JAMES WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-04-13
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 8108. Wilson, J. W. April 13. Ovens.-A gas oven or the like is constructed with inner and outer casings which are held in grooves or between guides formed on the base frame and the oven top, spaces being left between the oven and the inner casing, and between the inner casing and the outer one ; the whole is so arranged that it may readily be taken apart for cleaning and other purposes, and may be rapidly put together again. Around the oven A, which is made of three plates in the ordinary manner, is secured the bottom frame B which, together with the oven top-plate, holds the casings C, D in position. The inner casing C is composed of one or more bright reflecting or other non-conducting plates, and is held in position by projections E, E<2> and by two flanges G formed at the top and bottom of the back cf the casing ; the outer casing D may be constructed of one or more metal plates and is retained in place by projections E<1> and a flange F, being secured by screws or other means to the plate B and the oven top-plate. The sides of the topplate are provided with projections similar to those on the plate B. Alternatively, the casings may be held in grooves instead of by projections. The plate B may form a stand for the oven. A door of the ordinary type is fitted. The brass and like fittings of the oven are removed in the usual manner.
Patent GB-190811979-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Distributing Systems.
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1908-06-02
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 11,979. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. June 2. Distributing. - In a distribution system with multiple ring mains, interlocked overload relays are provided, and are arranged to isolate a section upon occurrence of a fault, but not upon a transitory surge. The relays may be interlocked electrically as described in Specification No. 11,634, A.D. 1908, or by mechanical or electro-magnetic means, or by interconnecting the circuits of current transformers. The bus-bars CS at the generating-station are connected to the bus-bars SS at a substation by feeders 1, 2, 3, &c., Fig. 1. The feeders are provided with oil-switches 7, 8 at their ends, and normally carry approximately equal currents. The primaries of current transformers are connected in the ends of the feeders, and the secondaries 11 .. 14 are connected as described in Specification No. 634, A.D. 1907. Any out-of-balance current in the secondary circuits will flow through the trip coils which are connected in parallel. If a number of mains are used, as shown in Fig. 1, they are connected in pairs. Instead of employing current transformers at the generating- station end of the feeders, interlocked relays 15, 16, Fig. 2, constructed as described in Specification No. 4878, A.D. 1905, may be employed, and these cut out one feeder only on the occurrence of a fault. A ring system is shown in Fig. 3, with interlocked overload devices 17, 18 at the,generating-station CS, and with overload devices operated by out-of-balance currents similarly to the relays shown in Fig. 1, at each end of the feeders in the substations. If a fault occurs at E, the. switches 7, 8 are tripped and the feeders 20, 21 are isolated, but no centre SS<1>, SS<2>, &c. is disconnected. The interlocked overload relays at the generating- station operate to cut out the more heavily loaded circuit. In order to avoid cutting out the sound feeder when one circuit fails and its current is reduced to zero, relays which are not self-restoring are used. Another method is to cause the tripping- devices to actuate auxiliary switches which in turn actuate the tripping-devices on the opposite circuit, or to short-circuit the opposite current tranformer with a fuse, thus converting it into an overload device with an inverse time element. The action of these auxiliary switches is completed before the corresponding oil-switches open. When the switches are being closed, it is necessary to restore the tripping-device which has operated, and so its transformer is shunted by an independent push-button, or by closing the auxiliary switch manually. In combination with these discriminating devices, a no-voltage device with a time limit is employed at the substations. ,

Abstract: 15,565. Hansen, J. F. July 22. Card games.-Relates to card-shufflers wherein a pair of inclined shoots receive the cards which are allowed to fall on to a single heap by gradually withdrawing slides. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the shoots 8 incline towards one another, and the slides 7 are toothed for engagement with cranks, mutilated pinions, or the like on the spindles of the wheels 5. These spindles are driven in opposite directions by a hand-wheel 4 and are mounted on a spring frame which may be pressed down by hand to bring the cranks &c. into gear with the teeth. The slides 7 are normally closed by springs 9, which are drawn back when the apparatus is : working by means of cords 14 operated by a lever 11 and movable bridge-piece 12. In the form shown in Fig. 3, one slide 7 serves for two parallel shoots 8, and the cord 14 for the spring 9 is operated by a spring push 13. A rod 15 ejects the shuffled pack from its recess and a string attached to to this rod liberates a retaining-catch 16 so as to free the push 13 and allow it to spring up again. To prevent too many cards from leaving the shoot at a time, the inclined depending portions of the shutter 7 are covered with india-rubber 18.
