Patent GB-190810297-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fuses for Explosive Projectiles.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
Filed: 1908-05-12
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 10,297. Schneider, E. May 12. Fuses and projectiles.-Relates to mechanical time and percussion fuses. The striker 14 is armed at the moment of discharge by the setting- back of a ring 19 whereby a spring 15 is compressed. Spring catches 13 and recesses 30, 31 retain the ring 12 in the safe and operative positions respectively. The striker is normally locked by a disk 27 hinged on a vertical pivot near its edge and provided with a nose 32, which rides on the periphery of a drum 24 of the clockwork and falls into a recess therein at the appointed time. The clock-work comprises the said drum 24, driven by a spring 25 and geared at 7 to a pinion 6, a toothed wheel 5, a detent 35, and a governing fly-wheel 3 controlled by a spring 2 ; the spindle 36 bears against a spring 1. The drum 24 is locked by arms 22 provided with springs 23. The striker 14 and the pellet 17 are locked by arms 18 retained by a ring 19. When the projectile is discharged, the ring 19 is temporarily set back against a spring 20 and the arm 18 thrown outwards by centrifugal force ; similarly the arms 22 are swung aside. The clock-work is carried by the cap 4 and is set by rotating said cap. The conical bearing 39 is jammed at discharge and prevents the rotation of the cap which is normally retained by spring catches engaging with grooves 38.

Abstract: 11,065. Mothes, G. May 21. Keyholes, obstructing.-A device for insertion into the keyhole of a lock to prevent picking comprises a spindle a, provided with a bit b and housed within a sheath c, which is also provided with a bit d. A bayonet-slot f is cut in the sheath c to allow the bit b to take up either the position shown, i.e. on the same side as the bit d, to enable the device to be inserted into the keyhole, or a position on the opposite side to the bit d, in which case the bit b, when the device is in the keyhole, prevents its removal therefrom. A spring i maintains the bit b in either of the two positions. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specifications No. 4841, A.D. 1878, No. 12,955, A.D. 1888, Nos. 9545 and 21,670, A.D. 1905, and No. 4177, A.D. 1907.]

Title: Arrangement for Reversing the Direction of Motion of Motor-engines.
Inventor: BRANDES WILHELM
Filed: 1908-08-05
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 16,526. Brandes, W. Aug. 16, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and like engines.-To facilitate the reversal of engines, more particularly of internal-combustion engines for marine propulsion, the shafts of two engines are connected together by reversing-gearing. One of the engines is reversible and drives on to the propeller shaft. The other engine runs normally in one direction only, and serves to start the former engine, and to transmit power to the propeller shaft, in either direction by means of the reversing-gearing. This second engine thus serves to reverse the former engine and the propeller shaft, and if desired it can then be itself reversed, so that the reversing-gearing is only used during the process of reversal. The two engines may be of equal or of unequal power ; and they need not be separate engines, but separate sets of cylinders in a multi-cylinder engine.

Exhaust gases, discharging under water; submarine vessels.-The exhaust gases are stored in reservoirs and are led overboard at comparatively large and irregular intervals, for the purpose of rendering difficult the detection of the course and speed of the vessel. According to one method the exit pipe from the reservoirs is provided with a cut-off device or valve of any convenient construction which may be operated manually or mechanically. The gases are allowed to issue in such a way that they rise to the surface as a single bubble.

Patent GB-190821486-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Valves of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: TAIG ROBERT
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1910-01-10
Abstract: 21,486. Taig, R., and Parker, F. Oct. 10. Gas and like engines, valves and valve-gear for. Admission and exhaust are controlled by a valve consisting of two cylindrical or part cylindrical members oscillating one within the other and within a cylindrical or part cylindrical valve seating, the inner valve-member being divided into inlet and exhaust chambers. The valve-members may be conical instead of cylindrical. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the valve-members a, bare operated from cranks j, k, set at 90 degrees on a half-speed shaft l, and the engine works upon the four-stroke cycle. This arrangement gives a quick opening and closing of the ports by means of the relative movements of the two valve members. The admission and exhaust pipes are connected to opposite ends of the valve casing. The bearing for the valve spindle is self-adjusting, and the valve is pressed against the cylinder port by a block j', Figs. 1 and 6, which is held against the outer member a by wedges k, k<1> and a spring l<1>. To prevent jamming, the movement of the wedges is limited by screw stops k<2>. Other means for keeping the valve tight may be used, such as packing - strips adjacent to the cylinder port. Modifications are described in which the outer valve-member a is segmental, the inner valvemember b is divided into concentric admission and exhaust chambers and in which the valves of two cylinders are worked from one pair of valve-rods.- More than one valve may be used for one working cylinder. According to the Provisional Specification, the valves may rotate, the oscillating valves may be worked directly from the crank-shaft, and the valve may be pressed against the cylinder port from the back by means of a screw, with or without a spring, bearing against the outer member, or passing through a slot in the outer member and bearing against the inner member.

IPC: B42C7/00
Filed: 1909-03-04
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 5298. Preston, A.F. March 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Cutting - out apparatus. -Notches are cut in the flanges of a U-shaped binding-strip to enable it to follow sharp angles on a pattern by a cutting-device shown, in part, in Fig. 28. A plunger 89 carrying a cutting-tooth 99 is reciprocated by a hand-operated crank. The strip 84 is passed through a groove, preferably slightly undercut, formed in a guide 100, the flanges of the strip being on either side of the tooth 99. The pattern passes behind the plunger 89, and, when a sharp angle on the pattern arrives opposite an indicating-line on the back of the plunger, the plunger is raised and then depressed, thus cutting a notch out of the strip at its corresponding point. Since the notch on each flange of the strip is cut outwards, the rough edge is pressed down when the strip reaches the rollers. In a modification, both flanges of the strip are cut in the same direction by one movement of the plunger.

Clutches, friction.-Relates to expanding-band clutches, shown in combination with contracting-band brakes which are engaged when the clutches are disengaged, the driven shaft being, however, adapted to be freed so that it may be rotated by hand. The band 4, Fig. 2, carried by the driving-pulley 1 is adapted to be expanded against a rim 5 on a hand-wheel 3 secured to the driven shaft 2 by means of a cranked lever 7, 8, 9, which carries a roller 10 bearing on a sliding cone 11. A frame 16, operated by a hand-lever 33, slides on a fixed rod 18 and operates the cone 11 and a collar 21 with two inclined projections 23 normally bearing on a second cranked lever 24, which applies a brake 26 to a pulley 27 on the shaft 2. Normally either the clutch or brake is in engagement, but the collar 21 may be rotated by a hand-lever 28 to remove the projections 23 from the path of the roller 25 on the lever 24 so that both clutch and brake may be disengaged simultaneously, and the shaft 2 may be rotated by the hand-wheel 3. When the hand-lever 28 is released, its weight again brings the projections 23 into the path of the roller 25. The levers 9, 24 may be made in two parts relatively adjustable for wear &c. by means of screws 31, 32.
