Patent GB-190806345-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: VEULLE FREDERICK HENRY DE
Filed: 1908-03-21
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 6345. Veulle, F. H. de. March 21. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to change-speed and reversing gearing of the class described in Specification No. 6344, A.D. 1908, and comprises a "straight-line motion" modified to obtain uniform motion in both directions. A driving-cam &c. A, Fig. 1, engages and drives pins B projecting from oscillatable disks C carried in ball bearings in a turnable plate D. The oscillating motion of the disks C is transmitted in a variable manner through spindles J to a central gear, as before. Blocks F, shown in detail in Fig. 4, are formed internally as racks G meshing constantly with pinions H on the ends of the spindles J. The blocks F, which slide to and fro in grooves E in the disks C as these disks are oscillated, are guided in slots M in disks K. The disks K can turn relatively to a supporting-plate L. A pin W, Fig. 3, near the edge of each disk K is connected by a link N to a pin V upon the plate D forming a jointed parallelogram. When the plate D is turned to vary the velocity-ration and to alter the direction of rotation, the disks K turn through a like angle so as to keep the grooves M perpendicular to the mean slope of the grooves E. The transmitted drive is stated to be uniform for all configurations.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Submarine Mines.
Inventor: BROOMELL ALBERT PRESTON
IPC: F42B22/16
Filed: 1909-10-25
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 24,514. Broomell, A. P. Oct. 25. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines which automatically anchor themselves at a given depth. According to this invention, the mine is first sunk below the required depth, and is then allowed to rise to such required depth. In the construction illustrated, a float D is attached by a cable G of a length equal to the required depth, to a locking-device F on the cable drum C<4> of the mine, and the anchor B<2> is secured to the frame C<2> by keys B<6> and is provided with a hollow base B'. When, after the removal of a locking - pin I, the mine is thrown out, it falls until the base B' touches the bottom. The anchor B<2> then sinks into the base B<1>, the cam - rods B<3> release the keys B<6>, and the released mine A rises. As soon as the float D reaches the surface, it ceases to pull on the locking - device F, which is thus brought into engagement and stops the mine at the required depth. The mine is prevented from rising too quickly by a brake shoe C<5> bearing on a surface C<6>.

Title: Improvements in Incandescent Vapour Lamps.
Inventor: BOLTINKOFF IVAN
IPC: F23D99/00
Filed: 1910-07-11
Granted: 1911-07-11
Abstract: 16,562. Boltinkoff, I. July 11. Incandescent vapour burners; vaporizing - apparatus.-Relates to the general construction of incandescent vapour lamps having upright or inverted burners. Oil passes from a reservoir 1 through a pipe 4 to a filter 5, and thence to concentric vaporizing-tubes 6, 7 arranged vertically in the flue 2, and the vapour passes from the inner tube to a nipple 8. When an upright burner is used, the mixing-tube 9 is arranged outside the globe and projects into an aperture in the bottom of the globe; in the case of inverted burners, the mixing-tube is bent twice at rightangles and enters the top of the globe. The part 9 of the mixing-tube is detachably connected to the upper part 15 by means of a hook 16, Fig. 3, and when it is detached, a plate 26 can be removed with the flue 2 and the vaporizing-tubes 6, 7. The filter consists of bundles of asbestos fibres 25 secured by wire to a central rod. That portion of the filter casing which projects within the flue is constituted by a thickened socket adapted to store heat. The casing 2<a> of the lamp is provided with air inlets 20 adapted to be regulated by sliding covers 30. The starting-device comprises a trough 12 in the lower end of the flue 2, and is provided with an automatic igniter 13. This consists of a tube of which the middle portion is U-shaped and perforated, and the ends of which dip into the starting-trough 12. The flame of the starting- device causes vapour to pass along the tube 13 and ignites it at the perforations; the small flames thus caused serve to ignite the burner 10. The mixing-tube 9 is provided with a trap 14 to catch condensed vapour.
