Patent GB-191015906-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Device for Shutting Off or Closing the Fuel or Heat Supply to Cooking Apparatus.
Inventor: ROTZOV KNUD VALDEMAR
IPC: A47J27/62
Filed: 1910-07-02
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 15,906. Rotzov, K. V. July 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Burners, regulating; extinguishing wick burners. - Apparatus for shutting-off the supply of fuel to gas and petroleum stoves is operated by means of the steam escaping from a cooking-vessel. In one method, steam escaping from a short pipe 3 at the upper end of the cooking-vessel 2 strikes the funnelshaped end 9 of a pipe 5 or the like, and the condensed steam descends in drops into a cup 7 on a balanced lever 6, which then makes contact with a mercury switch 10, thereby closing a circuit through an electro-magnet; this then releases a catch 16 from a weighted lever 18, which falls and closes the cock or the like. The bottom of the cup 7 is suitably inclined so that the water flows out from the cup when this is in its lowest position, the lever then rising and breaking the circuit. The plug of the cock may be provided with a projection 26 or the like which, when the cock is opened, operates a spring or other throw-over switch and closes the circuit through a bell. The weighted lever 6 may directly cause the turning of the valve without the use of an electric circuit. In other methods, the drops falling from the pipe 5 may close an electric circuit by causing a conducting connexion between the two surfaces. The flame can also be extinguished directly by the escaping steam. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the condensed steam may fall direct on to the lever 6 from a pipe on the cooking-vessel, and that the steam may issue through an annular opening at the upper end of the cooking-vessel. In a modification, the steam may act directly upon the releasing-device by means of its kinetic energy. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 20,785. Maurice, J. Levy-. Sept. 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Locking nuts.-A bolt is formed with intersecting right and left handed threads to receive a nut A and a locking-nut a, and the sides of the nuts are provided with grooves into which a U-shaped locking-key b is sprung. The grooves in the nut A are preferably deeper than those in the nut b, the key being correspondingly shaped. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following alternative methods for connecting together the two nuts in the adjusted position. A wedge or key is inserted in coincident grooves in the adjacent faces of the two nuts; a pin screwed through the upper nut engages one of a number of holes in the lower one; a flat spring fastened to the side of one nut engages a groove in the side of the other nut; an angular sleeve or cap embraces both nuts and is retained by forcing tongues into the space between the nuts, which may be separated by a washer; the corners of the sleeve may be bent in, and a tongue at one end of the sleeve may be bent over so as to engage against or between the threads of the bolt; the sleeve may have a flange to facilitate its removal. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Transmission of Power from a Prime Mover to a Load.
Inventor: KING ARTHUR CHARLES
IPC: F16H3/66
Filed: 1910-11-02
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 25,476. King, A. C., King, J., and Hamer, F. Nov. 2. [Addition to 15,322/08.] Variable-speed epicyclic gearing in which the motion of the planetary elements is retarded by a magnetic field, as described in the parent Specification, comprises also frictional means for assisting this retardation. To a driving-shaft 1 is secured a casing 3, which carries electromagnets 5 and their armatures 6, these being secured to spindles 7. Planetary gears 20, fast upon sleeves 8 surrounding the spindles 7, mesh with a gear 16 secured to the driven shaft 2. The sleeves 8 carry disks 10 with surfaces 14, 12, which are modified for engaging frictionally with surfaces 15 upon the casing 3, and with surfaces 13 upon nuts 11 screwing upon the spindles 7, respectively. The surfaces 12, 13 are pressed together by the nuts 11, so that normally the gears 20 are clutched to the spindles 7. When the magnets 5 are energized, the armatures 6 are retarded by electromagnetic action, causing the pinion 20 to tend to drive the gear 16. The armatures 6 are also pulled to the left, causing the surfaces 14 to be thrust against the surfaces 15 and so augmenting the turning moment upon the gear 16. Variation in speed is effected by varying the energizing-current. In a modification, two sets of controllable planetary trains in the casing 3 are combined with an external planetary system controlled by brakes, to constitute variablespeed and reversing gearing of wider range. Specification 19,431/09 is also referred to.
