Title: Improvements in Starting and Regulating the Speed of Marine Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: TANNER FEDERICK HUSSEY
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 19,047. Tanner, F. H. Sept. 10. Gas and like engines, starting and regulating. To enable internal-combustion engines to be used for propelling ships, compressed air or gas is delivered near to the blades of the propeller to increase the slip, and thereby reduce the load on the engine at starting, or during rough weather. The turbine blowers a, b deliver air by means of the pipes g, h near to the blades of the propeller i. The blowers are driven together or separately through clutches d, e connected to a convenient source of power by a rope pulley f. The supply of air to the propeller may be varied by adjusting the by-pass valves l, m. The pipe g is used mainly to supply air for regulating the speed of the engine, while the pipe h supplies air at a lower pressure chiefly for starting. A shield k above the propeller retards the escape of the air, and a flange j on the end of the pipe h forms a vacuum and assists the exit of the air from the pipe when the vessel is moving forwards.

Title: Improvements in Brass and like Wind Musical Instruments.
Inventor: MOORE CHARLES
Filed: 1908-10-06
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 21,026. Moore, C., and Clay, J. W. Oct. 6. Drawings to Specification. Brass and like wind instruments.-In order to obtain correct intonation when two or more valves of a brass wind instrument are in operation, the valves, which are of the piston type, are provided with slotted extensions through which passes a cord or chain, one end of which is connected to a movable U-shaped tuning-slide through a system of connecting links and levers. When two or more valves are in operation simultaneously, pulleys attached to the valve extensions tighten the cord or chain, so that the U-shaped slide is shifted by an amount varying according to which valves are operated. The effect of operating a single valve is to take up the slack of the cord or chain without shifting the tuning-slide. A spring is provided to return the slide to its normal position.

Recesses k are provided in the casing, in which the sliders catch if not properly raised by the proper key. A further series of sliders l, Fig. 1, mounted in the recesses k, have no locking action in the closed position, but come into engagement with the barrel after a partial rotation thereof, should the sliders e not be in their proper releasing-positions.

Title: Improvements relating to the Dabbing Mechanism of Wool Combing Machines.
Inventor: BOYS CHARLES VERNON
Filed: 1908-10-20
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 22,270. Boys, C. V., and Tierney, J. W. Oct. 20. Combing - machines, dabbing- apparatus for. The dabbing- brushes are operated pneumatically, and the operating-parts are mounted upon a cross-beam e separate from the rest of the combing-machine so that the movements of the dabbing-apparatus impart to the machine as a whole as little vibration as possible. The same beam e may serve to support a number of sets of dabbing-apparatus, two being required for each machine. Each dabbing-brush is connected to the piston b of a pneumatic cylinder. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the piston c is double, and compressed air is admitted to the cylinder at k between the two pistons. At the lower end of the cylinder are provided spaces 3, and the space below the lowest piston communicates with an exhaust valve m, which, when the machine is not in action, is held in its raised or open position by a spring p. The space above the valve is connected with one of the spaces 3 by a passage o, and the stem q of the valve is carried by a spring piston t which, when the machine is not working, is held in the raised position by a spring w, the space above the piston t communicating with the cylinder d by means of an adjustable needle valve v. At starting, compressed air is admitted at k, and, passing along the passage o, closes the valve m, and some air leaking past the lower piston c, this commences to rise. When the piston uncovers the spaces 3, the piston rises rapidly and compresses the air in the cylinder space above the upper piston. When the piston has risen a sufficient height, the pressure below it has fallen sufficiently to allow the spring exhaust valve m to open, and the compressed air drives the piston down. When the piston has attained a sufficient velocity on its downward movement, the valve m again closes and the cycle is repeated. Meanwhile the air leaking past the valve v gradually presses the piston t downwards, thus weakening the pressure of the spring p of the valve m which thus closes earlier at each successive downward stroke of the piston and ultimately remains closed, the exhaust then taking place through the port 1 in the piston-rod. Specification No. 27,361, A.D. 1907, is referred to.

Abstract: 22,604. Kerridge, A. E. Oct. 24. Trimmings; pleating.-A trimming for hats; wearing-apparel, &c. is made by pleating velvet; satin, or other suitable material and then attaching it to a backing of suitable material, without stitching, by the use of gutta-percha or similar substance rendered adhesive by heat. The length of material a is pleated by being run through toothed wheels, or by being pressed between dies. In the latter method, the backing f can be attached, after the upper die has been removed, by ironing or heating, the backing being provided with an adhesive face, or some adhesive material being interposed. The pleats may be formed straight across the material, or obliquely in one or more directions, or curved, or in any combination of these ways.

Abstract: 9277. Lake, H. W., [Treuhand-Vereinigung Akt.-Ges.]. April 19. Blowing bottles. Relates to a machine of the type in which the moulds are carried upon horizontally rotating arms, and in particular to the method of charging the moulds with the molten metal, A pivoted receptacle 44 receives the molten metal from a melting- tank, and is tilted by hand - operated worm gear 49,- so as to discharge the metal at the desired rate into a cup 42, the bottom of which is formed by a ring 37 rotating with the central column 3. Each parison mould 28 is formed with a flange 35, which, in the position shown, is on a level with, and forms part of, the ring 37. When a parison mould comes beneath the cup 42, the metal in the cup falls into the mould and is drawn into the neck mould by suction, in the well-known manner. The parison mould 28 is then inverted, the joint between the ring 37 and the flange 35 being bevelled to facilitate this. The parison mould is opened, and the finishing-mould 41 is raised and closed round the suspended parison, which is then blown &c. as usual. The machine is rotated, and the moulds and vacuum and air valves are operated by the cam and like mechanism shown.
