Title: Improvements in Wood Shearing or Cutting Up Machines
Inventor: EDER JOSEF
Filed: 1905-08-01
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 15,754. Eder, J. Aug. 1. Cutting-up.-Wood for fuel to be cut across the grain is placed so as to touch a gauge 8 between side walls 5 on a table 2, provided with a fixed knife 3 and a guard 6 fixed to two arms 7 pivoted to the side walls and resting on the wood by its own weight. The reciprocating knife 12 is carried by a part 10 to which is pivoted a yoke 13, also connected to it by a spring 14, so that both ends of the yoke may continually press upon the wood during the cutting operation and so stretch the fibres and enlarge the cut. Wood so cut may fall on to an inclined plane 15 and be again cut by a similar machine, the gauge 8 being adjusted to obtain various lengths of wodd. The wood is prevented from falling through between the knife 3 and the gauge by a cross-bar, provided with a series of pawls of various lengths: In a form of machine for cutting thicker pieces of wood, shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the wood is fed over the fixed cutter, which is attached together with a metal strip 19 by screws to the support 2, by rollers 21, 20, 25, the former two being connected by toothed wheels 23 and the two latter by toothed wheels 26, which are carried by two frames 24 so as to raise or lower the feed-roller 25. This is effected by the provision at one side of a link bar 27, operated by a treadle-lever 28, and, so as to obtain an automatic feed, connected to a lever 29, pivoted on a shaft 31 and connected at its other end by a spring 30 to the movable upper part of the machine. The opposite end of-the shaft 31 carries a lever and link arm 33 attached to the other frame 24. The movable part, which is actuated by a bar 41 and gearing from a shaft 35, which also through variable friction gearing drives the shaft 22 of the feed-rollers, is pivoted at 42 and is provided with guide-arms 59, 60 to prevent the escape of the work. The knife 12 has a slot- and-bolt connexion and is adjusted by a screw 45, and on each side is mounted a curved arm 47, pivoted on a pin 48, the front ends of which are connected by a bar 49 carrying a guide-bar 50 for a spring 53 to return the bent arms to their original position. The two rear ends of the bent arms carry a socket 54 in which two slide pieces 56 carrying the rear cross-bar 55 are guided, the upper ends of the pieces 56 being toothed to gear with the toothed wheels 57, and being pressed out by a spring 58 so as to avoid canting of the cross-bar 55.

Patent GB-190622963-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Refrigerating Machines.
Inventor: MORRIS JAMES WILLARD
IPC: F25B15/06
Filed: 1906-10-17
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 22,963. Morris, J. W. Oct. 17,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydraulically-actuated pumps; automatic systems of raising water &c.-Fig. 2 shows one form of pump employed in refrigerating - apparatus. A casing G is divided by a flexible diaphragm 46 into two compartments, one of which communicates with a pipe 38 connected to a water tank. The pipe 38 also communicates with an hydraulic ram having the valve 50 to its outlet controlled by a pendulum. In operation, when the flow of water through the ram is suddenly checked, the increase of pressure in the compartment 44 of the casing G causes the diaphragm 46 to move to the left, forcing the liquid, which enters the other compartment 45 of the casing through a check valve 56, past the valve 57 into the chamber 58. When the outflow valve 50 of the ram is opened by the pendulum, the diaphragm moves in the opposite direction thus causing liquid to enter the compartment 45. In the chamber 58 the air separates from the liquid, which passes through a float-operated valve to the pipe 29. A by-pass 61 serves to prime the pump when starting. In a modified form of pump, shown in Fig. 3, the flexible diaphragm is replaced by a flexible tube 64, the interior of which communicates with the liquid-supply pipe. The intermittent action of the ram causes the tube to expand and contract. Liquid is thus drawn in through the valve 56, and expelled through the valve 57.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switches
Inventor: MCALPINE GUSTAVUS
Filed: 1907-03-02
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 5116. McAlpine, G. March 2. Switches.-Relates to an overload or limit switch or cut-out adapted for motors, lamps, &c. A circuit is normally completed through mercury or other liquid conductor, which is moved to break the circuit by means of a spherical float when the load is above the prescribed limit. The switch may serve as a relay controlling a main circuit. In the construction shown, the mercury is contained in a reservoir formed in a raised part of the bottom of a pot a provided with two terminals f. A ball l normally raises the level of the mercury so that the circuit is completed. On raising the ball, as by the electromagnet h, the level of the mercury falls and the circuit is broken. The terminals may be connected through a resistance so that sufficient current flows to retain the ball in the raised position. An adjustable insulating-ring m is provided so that the amount of current required may be varied ; or, suitable guides and a dash-pot may be provided for delaying the force of the ball or plunger, particularly when time is required for other safety devices to act. The mercury reservoir may be fitted with several terminals, so that contact is broken at several points to minimize arcing. The pot a may be filled with oil &c., and the electromagnet is fitted on the lid so that the bobbin h may be readily removed and replaced by a different one. The shunt resistance may be a lamp, which also serves to indicate when the switch has operated. The apparatus is particularly applicable in systems of lighting, to prevent more than a predetermined number of lamps from being alight at one time.
