Title: Improvements in Lamp Supports and Casings particularly Designed for use with Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: HIGHFIELD JOHN SOMERVILLE
Filed: 1908-12-23
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 27,991. Highfield, J. S. Dec. 23. Reflectors; globe holders.-A plate n, carrying one or more electric-lamp holders, is supported within a cylindrical casing a by coiled springs v, or strip springs, or vertical helical springs. Vibrations are damped by a reflectorp which is attached to the plate and extends nearly to the casing. A ring of fibre q with a ridge r is fixed on the plate n and carries two metal rings s, t, connecting the holders to the supply wires. The plate n may be omitted, the reflector carrying the lamps. The casing is flanged outwards at the top to receive dust carried by the hot air ; deformation of the flange while the casing is being screwed to the ceiling &c. is prevented by providing small tubes as distance pieces around the screws. Ledges k, fixed on the cylindrical part of the casing, support screws g to which are attached bolts holding together the turned up ends of two semicircular parts of a wire ring d, which passes round the neck of a globe enclosing the lamps. By tightening the nuts on the bolts the globe is drawn up against a washer c.

Abstract: 6222. Peterson, A. W. March 26, 1908, [Convention date]. Sliding - jaw wrenches jaw jaces and attachments.- In a wrench of the class having wedgemechanism for securing the movable jaw, a doublewedge locking- device is provided, and in addition, an improved jaw attachment for gripping pipes. The movable jaw 4 of the wrench has a suitable aperture, and guides 5 for the shank 1 of the fixed jaw 3, and a recess with inclined inner surface 6 to receive wedges 7, 8, the former of which tapers much more rapidly than the other. The wedge 8 is moved to the left or right to lock or unlock the movable jaw on the shank 1 by means of an eccentric 13 on the end of a lever 14, which eccentric extends through a hole 15 in the wedge 8 and is pivoted at 12 in the sides of the movable jaw, a spring 11 secured at 10 to the wedge 8 tending to keep the heel 9 on the wedge 7 pressed up against its end. The serrated jaw 16, Fig. 5, is adapted to be secured on the shank by arranging the arm 19, which is pivoted on a pin 18, and a spacing-tube 21 against the side and top of the shank respectively, and turning the other arm 22 about the pin 20 until the hole 23 springs over the pin 18. The back of the jaw 16 is curved to enable it to roll on the inner surface of the fixed jaw and adapt itself to pipes of different diameters.

Abstract: 12,551. Rodney, R. W. H. May 27. Double-bolt fastenings.-Doors, windows, casements, &c. are fastened by double bolts A, B, which are operated by means of their cranked ends a', b<1> and a cam-piece C keyed to the handle shaft d'. The ends c<1>, c<2> of the cam-piece C work in slots a<2>, b<2> in the cranked ends a', b<1> of the bolts A, B, and surfaces c<3> abut against these cranked ends when the bolts are withdrawn, thereby avoiding the use of stops to limit the inward motion of the bolts. In this position, the angles a<3>, b<3> of the bolts press against the curbed surfaces of the campiece C, thereby forming a further abutment for the bolts. The bolts may be spring-pressed outwards, and be provided with bevelled ends so that they automatically snap into the receiving-sockets.

Abstract: 12,918. Egner, C. E., and Holmstrom, J. G. June 1. Microphones. - The diaphragm of a telephone transmitter is set in radial tension, and the vibrating electrode of the microphone is fixed at its centre. The diaphragm 1, Fig. 1, may be placed in tension after it is fixed in position by being pressed downwards between the fixed and movable rings 10, 9 by the screws 8. The movable electrode 14 is separated from the diaphragm by a distance-piece 18 of hard material such as steel, which for lightness' sake and to prevent the conduction of heat from the microphone to the diaphragm, may be perforated, or in the form of a grating, or in separate parts. A number of microphone electrodes may be attached to the same diaphragm, as shown in Fig. 4. The fixed electrode of each microphone may be adjusted by means of the screw 31 acting in conjunction with the spring 32, and, after the microphones have been separately adjusted, they may be collectively adjusted by moving their common support by means of a screw arrangement. This transmitter is applicable for wireless telephony or for other purpose where large currents are used.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Automatically Indicating Certain Relative Positions of Guns or the like to each other.
Filed: 1909-07-02
Granted: 1910-07-04
Abstract: 15,487. Evershed & Vignoles, and Kilroy, W. D. July 2. Naval mountings.-Relates to electric signalling- devices, of the kind described in Specifications 20,540/04 and 5970/07,for indicating in a turret when the firing of the guns of that turret will endanger the guns of an adjacent turret. The invention consists in using models of the endangered and endangering guns which copy the motion of the guns and are provided with electric contacts so that, when either gun is in an endangering position as regards training or elevation, or both, a signal will be given to the operator in the endangeriog-turret. The motion of the guns in training and elevation is transmitted through suitable gearing to arrangements of the kind shown in Fig. 13, which represents a training model. The endangered contacts are carried on a disk 59 geared with the endangered turret, and the endangering-contacts are carried on a disk 57 geared with the endangering-turret. The current passes from a spring contact 100 on the plate 57 to the endangering-contact 63, which may engage with the endangered contacts 64 ... 68 connected by rods 69 of different lengths to brushes 70. The electric connexions in one arrangement are shown in Fig. 3. The four-part contact b of the training model b is connected to bars m, n, o, p in the set of switch contacts q, r, s, t, operated by the elevation and depression of the gun B and connected to other contacts u, v, w, x, over which an arm y is moved by the elevation of the gun A. If the gun A be trained so that the contact a<1> of the model a touches the part l of the contact b<1>, a circuit through the signal z is formed, provided that the gun B is so elevated that the arm p touches the contact t. Electric connexions suitable for twin guns are described. Several arrangements are described for automatically lengthening or shortening the contacts to allow for possible endangering when the guns are elevated or depressed respectively, and trained to the positions 2, 5, in Fig. 1, which represents in plan model guns a, b having contacts a<1>, b<1> attached to the gun-muzzles

Title: Improvements in or connected with Valves for Controlling the Supply of Gas to Gas Burners.
Inventor: BLAKE ERNEST WILLIAM
IPC: F23N1/00
Filed: 1909-09-15
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 21,126. Blake, E. W. Sept. 15. Actuating valves.-Relates to a by-pass gas valve for use with a controller of the kind described in Specification 14,973/09, the chief object being to ensure that the valve shall not be affected by small variations in the gas pressure which occur in the mains. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the valve consists of two cones i, i<1> attached to a spindle h, which is operated through a lost-motion device o by a bell b. The cones open and close ports g<1>, m<1>, which communicate respectively with the main burner and pilot jet. In the position shown, gas enters at r, and passes under the bell b and also through the tube l and passages l<1>, m<1>, k<1> to the pilot jet. Increase in gas pressure causes the bell and valves i, i<1> to rise, thus closing the way to the pilot jet and opening the port g<1> leading to the main burner. The lost-motion device o allows balls d, which weight the bell, to be removed before the valves are actuated. The bell can thus be maintained in the raised position by gas at a low pressure. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, gas enters at l, and passes through a port p', which leads into the space y beneath the bell, and so through passages s<1>, p', q<1> to the pilot jet. When the bell rises, the valve i<1> closes the passage s<1> and opens a passage p<6> leading through a tube q to the main burner. Fig. 3 shows a further modification, in which the double cone valve is carried by a diaphragm, and opens and closes passages v<1>, u<1> leading to the pilot and main burners respectively. The passages v<1>, u<1> are situated in cross-bars v, u carried by the casing.
