Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 10,182. Blum, R. June 25, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. The suspending- hook is similarly arranged in connexion with one of the lateral arms. The arms 3 of a clotheshanger slide in a hollow central portion 1, their inner ends engaging guides 10 in a cover-plate 2. Grip members for trousers &c., or hooks for skirts &c., are pivoted to the cover-plate, and are connected to slide blocks 7 in guides 8 in the coverplate 2 by rods 6. The shank of the suspending- member 13, the hook portion of which is preferably rotatable, is also connected by a rod 14 to one of the slide-blocks 7. Stops 11 on the lateral arms 3 engage the blocks 7 when pushed inwards, so folding the members 4, 13 against the central portion 1 by a single operation. Stops 15 engage the blocks 7 to unfold the hanger in the reverse operation. The member 1 may be suitably recessed to accommodate the suspending-hook 13.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting Files.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 19,497. Lake, W. E., [Ufer Geb.]. Sept. 16. Making files. -In a filecutting machine, the triangular cutting-tool is mounted in a spring - pressed reciprocated holder, which is connected to an horizontal parallelogram of bars mounted on ball bearings and also to a vertical parallelogram of bars, rotation of the tool - holder being thus prevented. The work is rotated and the work table may be rocked to give a taper to the file.

Patent GB-190900317-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Separation of Dust from Gases.
Inventor: MOORE RALPH SWITZER
IPC: B01D46/04
Filed: 1909-01-06
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 317. Pearce, H. V., and Moore, R. S. Jan. 6. Filtering.-In a process for separating dust, fume, soot, and the like from air and gases, the dust &c. is deposited on a filter between the sides of which a small difference of pressure is maintained, and is removed by automatic means adapted to produce a sudden rush of gas over the surface of the filter, which may increase the cleansing of the filter by causing it to vibrate. Flat rectangular filter bags a of flannel are placed in a series of rectangular compartments b so as to leave narrow intervening spaces. The compartments communicate with a common inlet pipe d, and the individual bags communicate with an outlet pipe e, dust-laden air being drawn through the bags from the outside at a slow rate by means of a fan. To remove the dust &c. deposited o n the bags, each compartment communicates by pipes h and a common main j with a dust receiver f in which a vacuum is maintained. Valves k, l, adapted to be opened by compressed air admitted to pneumatic cylinders m, normally close communication between the compartments and the receiver. The dust is removed successively from each compartment to the receiver after a predetermined interval, owing to the sudden rush of gas over the surfaces of the filters occasioned by the opening of the particular valve k and the valve l, by means of a rotary distributing-valve o which admits compressed air from a supply pipe p to the pneumatic cylinders by way of pipes n.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Washing of Coal and other Minerals.
Inventor: SHAW JOHN
Filed: 1909-07-09
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 16,056. Shaw, J. July 9. Inclined-trough washing-apparatus.-In apparatus of the kind described in Specification 7111/07, for washing coal and other minerals, and comprising an inclined trough A and a series of transverse dams E attached to a reciprocating frame D, the frame D is raised towards the end of its downward stroke preferably by means of wheels I connected with the frame D and arranged to ride on cranked rails J supported on the trough A, and the motion of the dams E about their pivots K is limited by stops G, H on the frame D. The coal &c. and water are fed to the trough and the heavier material falls to the bottom and is pushed up by the dams E and discharged over a dam at the upper end, while the light material is discharged with water over a dam at the lower end. The limitation of the upward motion of the dams E about the points K causes the upper layer of coal to be wiped off, exposing that which was buried, and the rise of the frame D and dams E towards the end of the downward stroke causes momentarily a freer washing.

Abstract: 17,283. Goldman. I. St. C. July 24. 1908, [Convention date]. Lock mechanism, lever type; keys.-The levers 20 of a lock are actuated by a flat key 26, which can be inserted into a narrow chamber 25<1> above the levers, and then pressed downwards by means of a sliding bar 28 carried by the key, so that the pinbits 27 pass through apertures in the division plate 27<1> and bear on the levers. Latches, sliding.-In the form shown, the levers normally lock a latch bolt 4 against retraction. The latch bolt is operated by means of a follower 16 engaging pins 11 on a sliding plate 12, to which the latch is connected by means of projections 10 engaging the pins 11, the plate 12 co-operating with the levers 20 to lock the bolt. A cam 34 can be used for setting the levers from the inside. The key may have removable bits which screw into the shank..

Title: An Improved Cycle Bell.
Inventor: BRAMMER HARRY
IPC: B62J3/00
Filed: 1909-09-15
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 21,079. Brammer, H. Sept. 15. Bell-operating mechanism, hand; sounding- members, supports for. - Cycle-bells are so constructed that the strikers are rotated continuously by a reciprocating movement of the trigger. The framework comprises a central ring with arms A receiving adjustment screws L. The last pinion F has ratchet teeth G engaging similar teeth on a sleeve H, the underside of which is formed with smaller reverse teeth engaging a boss I on the lower strikeplate K, which is secured to the spindle S. Operation of the trigger C in one direction causes the pinion F to rise on the teeth G to jam against the upper strike-plate K<1>, the lower strike-plate being similarly operated. Release of the trigger causes the pinion F to fall free of the plate K, which continues to rotate, the lower plate slipping idly on the sleeve H. In adapting to an existing bell, the pinion F, sleeve H, and boss I may be mounted on a sleeve surrounding the spindle.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Lubricators.
Inventor: CAMERON JOHN MCALPINE
IPC: F16N7/04
Filed: 1910-06-02
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 13,385. Cameron, J. M. June 2. Tilting-disk valves.-A valve for a lubricator is operated automatically by shocks in the machine which cause the valve to tilt laterally on its seating, as shown in Fig. 2. The valve consists of a hollow spindle 15, weighted at the upper end 15<a>, and formed with a disk or flange at the lower end resting upon a valve seat 4. The valve is held on its seat by a spring-pressed cap 18, which has a certain amount of lateral play in a recess 21 in a plug 22. The casing 2 is formed with a ring 6 surrounding a bolt 7, and is clamped in a vertical position. The bolt 7 has an annular groove 14 and a radial passage 13, so that the passages 5, 12 are in register in any position of the casing. The level of oil is viewed through glasses 31. Two wings are formed on one side of the valve spindle 15, so that, under vertical shocks, the inertia of the oil in the casing causes the valve to tilt. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the cap 18 is dispensed with, the spring 37 acting directly upon the hollow valve, which is weighted at its upper end. To prevent the filling-plug 27 from being lost, it is attached to a compressible loop 27<a> which is larger than the filling-opening.
