Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 16,829. Friend, G. H. Aug. 10. Pedals.-In cycle-pedal foot-grip devices of the type in which the rider's shoe is provided with metal plates adapted to engage the pedal, the edges of the shoe plates are bevelled or recessed so that they can be simultaneously engaged under turnedover edges or flanges of both pedal plates by a lateral movement of the foot. The pedals are made with flanges or engaging surfaces c, c<1>, which are recessed or bevelled at d, d'. Plates e, e', provided with projections f, f<1> or equivalent means for engaging the bevels d, d<1>, are attached to the rider's shoe ; both the plates and the bevels may be made to converge in any suitable manner. The parts e, e<1> may be formed on a single plate, or may be made integral with the sole of the shoe, and a thickening g<1> may be provided to allow of easy walking. Tightness of grip may be aided by springs, elastic material, leather, &c., or by corrugating one or more of the engaging surfaces.

Patent GB-190820192-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Foundry Moulding Machines.
Inventor: GEIGER RUDOLF
Filed: 1908-09-25
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 20,192. Geiger, R. Sept. 25. Moulding.- Moulding - machines have movable tables reciprocated by screwed spindles driven by rotary motors. A continuous-current motor d, which can start from rest under full load, drives worm-wheels k splined to screws of opposite hand to eliminate axial thrust from the shaft h. When the turn-over table o carrying the pattern and flask is rammed against the pressure-head q, an overload switch f operates to cut out the motor. When the table is lowered on to a truck s for removal, the coupling g slips and permits the motor to overrun.
Patent GB-190820254-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Spring Driving Mechanism.
Inventor: SANDOR HERBERT ALBERT
Filed: 1908-09-26
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 20,254. Sandor, H. A. Sept. 26. Going-trains.- Relates to spring driving - mechanism having two or more springs so arranged that they are operative and inoperative successively at determined intervals of time whereby the energy of each spring is yielded up intermittently and while one is working the others are stopped. Two springs 1, 2, Fig. 1, are coiled in the same direction and contained in barrels a, b, which are rotatable round the hubs 5, 6, themselves rotatable around shafts 7, 8. The barrels are provided with intermeshing teeth 3, 4, and the hubs 5, 6 carry ratchetwheels 9, 10, Fig. 11, the pawls 11, 12 of which are pivoted to the framework and connected by a rod 13, so that, when one ratchet-wheel is engaged, the other is disengaged. Each of the lower ends of the spring hubs and barrels are provided with teeth 15, 16, Fig. 3, which mesh with the teeth on a wheel 17 rotatably but not axially movable on the shaft 7, so that, when the shaft 7 is raised, the barrel is locked to its hub. This axial movement of the shaft 7 is effected by a disk 19, Fig. 5, secured thereto and provided with inclined grooves 18, so that pressure of a rod 20 on them raises the shaft; it will be seen that, when one barrel is locked, the other is unlocked. Each shaft carries a feather 24 which engages the spring hub 5 when the barrel is unlocked, and also a wheel 21 engaging with a winding-wheel 23 of such width as to allow for axial movement of the wheel 21. The arrangement for causing the intermittent driving of the barrels a, b consists of a rocking frame 29, Fig. 1, mounted on a shaft 30 and carrying pinions 27, 28 fast with wheels 25, 26, which engage a pinion 31 fast with the driving-wheel 32. A pinion 35, also free on the shaft 30, engages with the teeth of the barrel a, and is fast with an arm 34 carrying a pin 33. The barrel a, which is at greater tension than the barrel b, is driving through the pinion 27, while the barrel b is locked, and the pin 33 is about to rock the frame 29, so that the barrel 6, which at the same moment is unlocked, drives through the piuion 28. At the same time the pawls 11, 12, Fig. 11, are operated to disengage the ratchet. wheel 10 and engage the ratchet-wheel 9 A device for operating the pawls and the barrel-locking mechanism is shown, Figs. 12 and 13, in which spring plungers 35<a>, passing alternately through the aperture 38 in the disk 39 driven from the clock train, tilt the plate 36 alternately in opposite directions, and this plate 36 through lever mechanism operates the pawls and the rod 20. When the barrel b has driven for a' certain time, the arrangement is reversed so that the barrel a again drives the clock train and partly rewinds the barrel b.

Patent GB-190821482-A (GB)
Title: Electrically Governed, Automatically Operable Train Controlling Systems.
Inventor: MILLER HARVEY BROWN
Filed: 1908-10-10
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 21,482. Miller, H. B. Oct. 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Locomotives &c. -In an automatic electric system for applying the brakes in case of danger due to the presence of a train in advance or an open switch, a contact member on the locomotive closes a switch which is held locked in position to energize conductors on the track until the next switch ahead is closed, and circuits through the same contact member from the track conductors energize electro-magnets for releasing the brake valve, Fig. 3, or for actuating signals on trains. Current for energizing the electro-magnets is supplied by a feed wire 30 from any suitable source or sources of energy. A train entering a section and passing the track switch 29 throws that switch so as to close the contacts 37, 38, thus energizing the re-setting magnet of the switch in the rear (not shown) and the track contact bars 3, 3<c>. The switch arm 29 is held in its operated position by the latch 45 until the magnet 48 is energized to lift this latch when the train passes the next switch ahead 29<a>, so that, should a second train pass the bars 3, 3<c> while a train is between these bars, a circuit is completed from the battery 32, line-wire 30, 31, switch 29, wires 40, 5, contactbars 3, 3<c> engine contact 24, and magnet 13 to earth. The same engine contact-bar 24, which is spring held in its mid position and may be swung out of operative position if desired, serves to actuate the switches 29 &c. and also as a collector for current to energize the magnet 13. The armature of the magnet 13 is counterweighted and spring- controlled so as normally to hold the arm 9 on the valve spindle in its inoperative position. The core of the magnet is conically bored to correspond with the conical end of the armature. When the armature 12 is moved, the counter-weighted arm 9 falls until it rests upon a stop 15, which may be set in one of a series of holes according to the desired opening of the valve 8. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), indicates the use of the system described for stopping trains in case of damaged bridges or like accidents to the track ; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: A New or Improved Automatic Shuttle Guard for Looms
IPC: D03D49/58
Filed: 1909-01-23
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 1687. Kershaw & Co., J., and Blackhurst, J. Jan. 23. Shuttle guards. - In a loom for weaving cotton, woollen, and like goods, the guard a is operated from the strap-fork p through a stud k<2> on a lever pivoted on the loom frame l. As the lay f moves inwards, the guard a being, as shown, in the operative position, the trip-lever g does not reach the stud k<2>. When the strapfork p is moved to stop the loom, the stud k<2> is raised, so that on the next stroke it strikes the part g<5> of the trip-lever g and so brings the guard a up beneath the lay-cap, the spring plate j holding the trip-lever in this position. When the loom is again started, the stud k<2> falls, strikes the surface g<4> of the trip-lever, and brings the guard a to its operative position.
