Title: Improvements in or relating to Mouse or other Vermin Traps.
Inventor: DUNNETT HANBURY
Filed: 1908-12-16
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 27,294. Dunnett, H., and Waring, E. Dec. 16. Traps. - Relates to a trap for vermin and other animals, of the type described in Specification No. 14,367, A.D. 1908, provided with a hinged or pivoted catch which is adapted to engage automatically with the rearward extensions of the jaws and hold the iaws in their open position. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a catch d is preferably hinged or pivoted between two lugs e on the arm c. The outer end of the plate d is jointed, by means of ears d', to the end of a rod f, which is suitably connected to a bait hook g. The catch d is provided with a projecting lug h, in front of which is formed a catch j. When the lever arms c, c<1> are closed together for the purpose of setting the trap, the outer edge k<1> of a rectangular or other shaped wire-frame just misses the catch j, but engages with the part h. As the levers continue to close, the plate d is caused to turn backwards upon its hinge and thus brings the catch into engagement with the side k<1> of the frame k, and the trap is set. In a modification, the catch d is provided on its rear face with a vertically-arranged U-shaped piece. In opening the jaws, the end k<1> of the frame k engages with the upper side of the U-shaped piece and causes the catch d to turn on its hinge, thus bringing the end k<1> into engagement with the lower side of the U-shaped piece. In a second modification, shown in Fig. 8, the catch d is provided with an opening m which is engaged by the hooked end n<1> of a triangular wire frame n. In setting the trap, the end n<2> of the frame n engages the heel h and causes the plate d to turn as before. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 12, the catch consists of an horizontal part p hinged to the lever c, and is provided on its underside with a cam-shaped part p<1>. When the trap is being set, the inclined side of the part p' strikes against and rides over the top edge of the lever c' and drops into the 'set' position shown in Fig. 12.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Governors and Alarms for Fluid Compressors.
Inventor: ROHRBACHER EDWARD JOSEPH
IPC: F04B49/02
Filed: 1909-01-25
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 1782. Rohrbacher, E. J. Feb. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Automatic alarm signals.-In an apparatus for throwing a fluid-compressor out of action when the reservoir pressure reaches a fixed limit, and for keeping it out of action until the reservoir pressure has fallen to another fixed limit, applicable also to the control of the supply of pressure fluid to a whistle &c. for giving warning when the reservoir pressure exceeds a predetermined limit, the return of the fluid through the admission valve to the relay &c. is prevented by a second valve. When the pressure in the chamber 32 reaches its higher limit, the piston 22 has been lifted sufficiently far against the action of an adjustable spring 24 to lift the valve 18 and thus admit pressure fluid to the chamber 33 and thence through the pipe 7 to a relay cylinder 54. The piston 61 of this cylinder is acted on by an adjustable spring 64, is limited in its movement by an adjustable sleeve 57, and may position a driving-belt 68 as shown or otherwise throw the compressor out of action. On the reservoir pressure falling, a disk valve 16<1> engages with a flanged bushing 9 and maintains the high pressure in the chamber 33 until the reservoir pressure has fallen to its lower limit, whereupon an adjustable rod 50 carried by the piston 22 opens the valve 38 and connects the chamber 33 with the atmosphere. The rod 50 and the valve stem 39 are protected by a detachable casing 52.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyroscopes.
IPC: G01C19/38

Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 22,602. Ansch³tz & Co., and Kaempfe, H. Ansch³tz-. Oct. 4. [Addition to 10,382/08.] Gyroscopic compasses.-Relates to a modification .of the device described in the parent Specification, for damping the oscillation of a gyroscopic compass about the North-South line. In this construction, the torque about the vertical axis 8, which becomes operative when oscillations take place, is represented by the differential component of two turning moments, one of which participates in the inclination of the gyroscope 10, while the other one always remains in the horizontal plane. One method of obtaining these two moments consists in producing the one which participates in the inclination of the axis 11 of the gyroscope by the reaction of an air jet 14, the other being obtained by means of a weight 15 placed on the float 7. In the position of equilibrium, the two turning moments are equal and opposite and so neutralize each other. In the case of an inclination of the axis 11 of the gyroscope out of the horizontal plane, there is, however, produced a torque about the vertical axis 8 which acts in opposition to the oscillation of the gyroscope at the moment and thus brings it to rest,

Abstract: 28,421. Forrester, W., Forrester, J., and Forrester, J. Dec. 6. [Addition tu 8791/07.] Bottling.-Relates to bottling-machines constructed as described in the parent Specification, and consists in providing a valve in the filling-head to prevent exhaust gases from the snift chamber from blowing on to the water in the filled bottle and throwing it over. The valve f, Figs. 1 and 2, has two seats. During filling, it closes a passage m to the atmosphere, and opens passages k, l from the filling-head to the snift chamber d. During exhaustion of the snift chamber, the passage k is closed, and the passages l, m to the atmosphere are opened. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the valve is operated by the pressure of the gas, but in the form shown in Fig. 2 the valve is in two parts separated by a spring, and the passage to the atmosphere is only opened when a spindle o is depressed by a cam during the operation of the machine.

Abstract: 29,975. Miolans, D. Dec. 24. Variable-speed and reversing gearing, suitable for motor-vehicles and machine tools, comprises a disk D having rings of teeth c, d, e on one face, for three forward speeds, and a ring of teeth p on the opposite face, for an additional forward speed and for reversed driving. A pinion b sliding on feathers on a driving-shaft a transmits the drive in all cases. For the ring p to be operative, one of a pair of idlers g, f is meshed therewith, but when the rings c, d, e are directly engaged by the pinion b, the ring p is not engaged. A rod q, which operates the pinion b, carries a cam Q adapted to be engaged by one end of a, lever n, which operates the pair of idlers g, f. As the pinion b is moved outwards from engagement with the ring c, the idler g picks up the ring p, and the pinion b engages and drives the idler f. To effect reversed driving, the pinion b is moved further outwards so as to bring a second pair of idlers h, i also into action.
