Incandescent lamps.- In an apparatus, of the type described in Specifi cation No. 8568, A.D. 1905, for cementing caps to bulbs, the bulbs and caps are assembled in a rotary frame 21, Fig. 1, which may have spring plungers 25 normally pressing on the bulbs, but held out of action by a cam 28 while liquid or dry cement is being delivered to the caps in measured quantities. The cement-container 47 is carried by a frame 46 and is moved towards the rotary frame 21 on depression of a treadle 43 by a cam 44. After each delivery of cement, the rotary frame is advanced by depression of a treadle 17, to bring a fresh bulb and cap into cementing position. Fig. 4 shows means for delivering a measured quantity of a liquid cement, such as a resin compound. A plunger 51 is reciprocated automatically in a tube 50 connected to the container 47 by a hole 52. The discharge orifice normally is closed by a slide 65, pivoted to the container, but moved aside automatically when the container is adjacent to the rotary frame 21. The plunger and slide are actuated through links by cams on the shaft 36, which also carries the cam 44 and is clutched for one revolution to a loose wheel driven from a pinion 30, when the treadle 43 is depressed. The treadle 17 acts similarly to the treadle 43 to clutch a pulley 8 and shaft 6, hy rocking a shaft 16 having a cam arm 15. Clutching is effected by a pin slidable axially in a boss on the shaft 6 and adapted to engage holes in the pulley, when released by the cam arm 15. The pin is withdrawn by the arm 15 against a spring after one revolution. A stirring-device on a shaft 53 is driven by a belt arranged as shown, so that the belt is not unduly tightened when the container 47 is moved towards the rotary frame 21. A heater 48 is also provided.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed and Reversing Gearing.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1906-09-03
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 19,601. Mills, B. J. B., [Hawk, W. D.]. Sept. 3. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to change - speed and reversing gearing of the d i s k and roller type and consists mainly in the use of two pairs of rollers to one disk. It is stated to be applicable to motorvehicles upon roads and railways. In one arrangement, shown in Figs 1 and 2, a pair of rollers 6, 7 are used for the direct speed and a pair 5, 4 are used for the reverse. In another arrangement, shown in Figs. 4 and 10, both pairs of rollers are always in engagement, reversal being effected by bevelgearing or by reversing the engine. The disk 3, Fig. 1, is mounted rigidly on the motor shaft 8 between the rollers 6, 5 and the and the rollers 7, 4, which are slidably mounted on separate shafts 13, 12, 14, 11, respectively, pivoted to the frame at their outer ends. These rollers are attached to crossbars 24, 25, which are traversed to vary the velocity-ratio by means of a screwed rod 16 operated through a chain-wheel 17 and chain 18. The shafts 13, 14 are geared together by toothed wheels 40, 41 and the shafts 12, 11 by wheels 38, 39. When the inner ends of the shaft 13, 14 are drawn simultaneously towards the disk 3, a direct drive is communicated through the shaft 14 an i a chain 62 to the driven shaft. When the inner ends of the shafts 11, 12 are moved towards the disk 3, a reverse drive is obtained through a chain 61. These motions are brought about by a lever 47, Fig. 2, and link-work. The inner ends of the shafts 11, 12, 13 14 are carried in bearing-blocks 30, 31, 34, 35 pivoted below upon bolts 29, 33 and attached above by links 50, 51, 54, 55, respectively, to cranks 4R, 49 and 52, 53 secured to a pair of shafts 42, 43 connected to the lever 47. In the second arrangement, shown in Fig. 4, the driven shaft 76 is connected to a Cardan shaft 77 in the usual manner. In this case, the inner ends of the shafts 11, 12, 13, 14 are thrust simultaneously towards the disk 3 by a pair of toggles 78 and by a toggle 67, shown more clearly in Fig. 10, all of which are connected by bell-cranks &c. to a pedal lever 66. A pair of bevel friction-wheels 71, 72 are slid together on the shaft 76, between bevelwheels 68, 69 on the shafts 14, 11 to effect reversal in the ordinary manner by bell-cranks 74 &c. and a band-lever 75. In a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 adapted for a reversible engine, there is only one bevel-wheel, namely, the wheel 72, on the shaft 76, and the shaft corresponding to the shaft 14 runs right across the vehicle and carries the element corresponding to the shaft 11 as a sleeve upon it. The pair of shaft elements corresponding to the shafts 13, 14 are then drawn bodily towards the disk 3 by link-work connected to the lever 66.

Patent GB-190712048-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Change-box Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: HAASE RICHARD
Filed: 1907-05-24
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 12,048. Haase, R. May 24. Loom change-box motions. - Relates to change-box motions of the type in which the dropbox 16 is positioned by means of a bottom lever, an eccentric - rod 28, and an eccentric, to which is attached a partly - toothed wheel 5 adapted to be rotated through a half-revolution at the proper times by a p a r t I y -toothed wheel 2 on a driven shaft 1. The engagement of the wheel 5 with the wheel 2 is effected by means of the usual bolt 6, which is slidable on the shaft 15 and has a tooth at each end. The position of the bolt is controlled by an eccentric 9 on a disk 8, which is loosely mounted on the hub of the wheel 5 and is caused to rotate therewith by a pin fixed to the disk passing through a slot in the wheel 5 and being held yieldingly in position in the slot by a spring- pressed finger. The disk may, however, be turned on the hub through an angle a, so that the eccentric 9 may move the bolt 6 into or out of gear with the wheel 2. A cam 21 on the shaft 1 acts upon a pivoted bell-crank lever 19, which, through a rod, oscillates a lever 17 carrying a double hook 10. The position of the hook is controlled by a pattern chain 29, so that either the upper or the lower hook may act upon a pin on the disk 8, which is thereby turned through the angle a, in order that the eccentric 9 may move the bolt 6 into the desired position. When the bolt is moved into gear with the wheel 2, a cam 14 on the disk 8 raises a pawl 24, so that a cam-piece 25 on the pawl is freed from a notch in a disk 4 attached to the wheel 5. As the lever 19 returns, a piece 20 thereon engages the pawl 24 and holds it in its raised position, so that the wheel 5 is free to rotate. If the bolt 6 remains in its disengaged position, the pawl 24 is not raised and the piece 20 presses it down. A disk 3 on the wheel 2 co-operates with the disk 4 to prevent the wheel 5 from overrunning. One or several change-wheels may be mounted on the shaf 15 according to the number of shuttle boxes employed, and they may control the boxes by means of eccentrics, mounted one within another, or by lever combinations in the usual manner.

Title: Improvements in Stop Valves.
Inventor: RANKIN HIRAM SHIRMAN
Filed: 1907-06-04
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 12,970. Rankin, H. S., and Barbre, T. J. June 4. Plug cocks. - Relates to a valve particularly adapted for use in a steam or air pipe leading to a rock drill &c. With the valve is combined a lubricator, which, acting under the pressure of the fluid, forces oil to the working surfaces of the valve and to the rock drill &c. Extending through the casing 6, which holds the oil, is a tapered valve barrel 8 which is threaded at its lower end to receive the inlet pipe 9. The barrel 8 is also externally threaded at its upper end to receive a nut 10 whereby it is held in place in the casing. A bushing 11 bearing against a spring 12 serves to adjust the pressure of the plug 14 against the barrel. Ports 21, 22, in the barrel and plug respectively, register with one another when the valve is closed; in this position also, a second port 23 in the barrel 8 opens into one end of a segmental groove 24 formed in the plug. When the valve is closed, air passes into the casing 6 above the oil by way of the ports 21, 22, thus forcing oil into the groove 24. When the valve is opened, the groove 24 no longer registers with the port 23 but connects the passages 25, 26 in the barrel 8 which lead respectively into the outlet 16 and inlet 9. The oil contained in the groove 24 thus passes both into the delivery pipe 20 and between the plug and the barrel to effect lubrication of the same. The outlet pipe 20, owing to its conical end, is enabled to swivel in the bushing 19, the internal pressure preventing leakage.
