Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 6824. Platt, Ltd., R., and Platt, H. H. March 21. School desks.-Relates to school desks, the object being to avoid the usual swinging motion of the writing shpe and also to enable the seat back to be slid downwards out of the way when necessary. As shown in Fig. 1, the writing slope A is pivoted at B to two or more links C, which are themselves pivoted at D to the framework of the desk. Each of the links C is formed of two quadrant-shaped pieces placed one on each side of a member E of the framework. The desk A can thus be moved into a position for writing on, as shown in Fig. 1, by the full lines; or it can be moved into the position shown by the dotted lines, thus allowing room for the occupant to enter or leave the desk. When the slope A is in position for writing upon, a tooth F on the framework enters a recess G in an iron bracket H attached to the slope A, and a peg I attached to the bracket H abuts against a portion of the framework, as shown. A rail K is attached to the desk in order to provide a back-rest when the occupant is seated the reverse way. The uprights L that support the seat M are provided with slots N in which engage pins Q, R, attached to the lower ends of the arms O that carry the seat back P, The arms 0 are also provided with projections T. When the arms O are in the raised position, the pins R engage recesses r in the uprights L, and the projections T engage recesses U in the seat M. In order to lower the arms O, the seat M is raised a little on the hinge S, and the arms are turned forward until the pins R are clear of the recesses r. The arms and back P can then be slid downwards, the slots N being partly cut away if necessary at V to allow a little play for the arms 0, so as to enable the back rail P to clear the seat M in its descent. According to the Provisional Specification, the rail K may be so coupled to the framework that, on being raised the said rail into an horizontal position, the desk top is also raised so as to form an horizontal table ; means are described for locking the raised top in position.

Title: Tide Actuated Hydraulic Air Compressor.
Inventor: WEBBER WILLIAM OLIVER
Filed: 1907-05-08
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 10,720. Webber, W. O. May 8. Tidal energy, utilizing. -Relates to improvements in the hydraulic aircompressing apparatus, of the trompe type, which is described in Specification No. 17,711, A.D. 1904, as situated in a connexion between a tidal basin and the ocean,and operated by the alternate flow of the tidal water. According to this invention, the air;pipes 15 are mounted in a special manner upon pontoons 10 so that they remain immersed at a substantially constant depth even when the head of water in the passage 1 is too low to keep the pontoons a float ; beams 14 carrying the pipes are supported above the pontoons by pivoted weighted levers 12 which, some time before the pontoons rest on the bottom, engage stops 17 and so cause the pipes to descend at a greater rate than the pontoons, until the pontoons come to rest. During the fall of the tide, water from the basin opens the gate 5 into the passage 1 and induces air currents through the pipes 15 into the fall passage 3. Upon impact with a wall 9, the compressed air separates into a chamber 8 and passes off through a service pipe 18, the water passing on through the uptake 4 and gate 7 to the ocean. During the rise of the tide, water passes from the ocean to the basin by way of the previously shut gates 5<a>, 6.

Title: Improved Paper and Cardboard Feeder.
Inventor: VICKERY FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-07-29
Granted: 1908-07-29
Abstract: 17,349. Vickery, F. W. July 29. Feeding sheets.-Relates to pneumatic apparatus for separating the top sheet from a pile of paper, cardboard, &c., of the kind in which the movement of the sucker is effected or controlled by the vacuum produced therein. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the sucker is in the form of a tube 1 which -slides within an exhausted tube 2 and falls by gravity to a position slightly above the top of the pile 4 determined by the adjustable foot 7. The top sheet rises and closes the port 5, after which the suction produced in the tubes 2, 1 causes the latter to rise with the top sheet until arrested by the collar 7<a>. A nozzle 8, provided with a lip 10 which rests on the top of the pile, projects a jet of air beneath the top sheet. Any sheets that may adhere to the top sheet are removed by a diagonal jet of air from the nozzle 11. The sheet, after having been separated by the sucker, is fed over the vertically oscillating stop 13 to tapes 15 by arms 14, Fig. 2. The stop 13 together with stationary side gauges 12 prevent the air jets from blowing the top sheets out of position. In a modification, Fig. 4, a device which locks the sucker in its elevated position until the vacuum is broken by the removal of the lifted sheet is provided. This comprises a cylinder 17 on a bracket 21 secured to the tube 1, which contains a spring-controlled piston 18 carrying a detent 19 adapted to engage a rack 20 on the tube 2. The cylinder 17 is connected to the tube 2 by a flexible pipe 16, Fig. 4. In a further construction, the tube 1 carries a pivoted suction foot connected thereto by a flexible tube, which approaches the top of the pile in an inclined position and binds up the edge of the top sheet. According to the modification shown in Fig. 6, an additional tube 1<a>, which supports the suction nozzle 23 by means of a bracket as shown is provided. The nozzle is connected by means of links 29 to the tubes 1 which, owing to the position of the stops on the rods 30, 31, rises through a greater space than the tube 1<a> when a vacuum is produced, causing the nozzle to tilt and bend up the top sheet around a bar 31<a> carried by arms 31<b>. In a fifth modification, the suction tube is raised about its pivot by a lever connected to a piston moving in a cylinder connected to the suction chamber. In a sixth modification, the sucker is pivoted in a carriage travelling on an oscillating beam, and is provided with a pinion which engages an idler pinion in gear with a rack on the underside of the beam. When the suction is produced owing to the covering of the port in the sucker by a sheet of paper, a piston connected to the sucker carriage by a bell-crank and link causes the carriage to travel on the beam and to tilt the sucker with the edge of the top sheet.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Reducing the Speed of Trains.
Inventor: HESKETH THOMAS
Filed: 1907-10-18
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 23,007. Hesketh, T. Oct. 18. Stopping engines and trains.-Apparatus for stopping trains if the speed at a given point of the track exceeds a fixed maximum comprises a starting-arm at one point and a train-stopping arm, controlled by the starting-arm to actuate the brake apparatus on the engine, fixed at a point in advance of the starting-arm. The stopping- contact is removed clear of the engine apparatus after a predetermined time has elapsed. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the arm X on the train moves over the counter- .weighted arm H and opens the valve M, thus allowing water to escape from the tank B at a rate adjusted by a cock N and a ball valve A. A float C gradually falls and after certain time lowers the contact-arm D so that it clears the valveoperating lever E on the train. Should the speed of the train be greater than allowable, the arm E reaches the arm D before the latter is lowered, and the train is stopped. The valve M is replaced by the lowering of a rod P to engage the arm R. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, a contact arm D is withdrawn by an electro-magnet 13, the circuit being closed by a contact-member 8 when released from the cam 11 by the clock train, which is set in motion by the removal of a detent 7 from a tooth 9 as the train passes the starting-arm 11. The arm 1, 3 winds the driving-spring of the clock. A sector of a circular disk may form the track obstacle.

Abstract: 112. Raden, H. W. van. Jan. 2. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gas and like engines, igniting in. Magnetoelectric machines for ignition in internal-combustion engines are constructed so that any desired number of sparks can be produced in different cylinders per revolution of the armature. This is accomplished by arranging at equidistant points round the armature as many pole-pieces as there are cylinders, the magnetic flux being thus made and broken the same number of times by the armature core per revolution. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a gap, which may be filled with non-magnetic material, is left between the horseshoe magnets 2 and bridged by magnetic bars 3, the number of which is the same as the number of cylinders, and which are shaped so as to present equidistant pole faces to the armature. The bars 3 are supported by non-magnetic end plates 5, which also serve as bearings for the armature consisting of a non- magnetic casting 4 carrying Y-shaped iron laminµ 6 alternately reversed and fixed by iron wedges 7 which are secured by rods 8. The bars 3 are longer than the armature core, and the magnets 2 also overlap these bars, the spaces between which may be filled with non-magnetic metal.

Abstract: 14,441. Boult, A. J., [Geb. Sulzer]. July 7. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The oscillation of the inlet valve V, Fig. 1, of a turbine is produced by the pumping to-and-fro of the liquid enclosed between the piston B connected to the valve and the reciprocating-piston A. The upper limit of the movement of the piston B is determined by the position of the outlet D, and the lower limit is kept constant by the admission through the pipe C of liquid to replace leakage losses. Fig. 2 shows a construction in which the inlet and the outlet are combined in a governor-controlled valve G. The position of the valve G is determined by the governor according to the speed of the engine. The piston moves between limits determined by the valve G, for, if it tended to move beyond the upper limit the port H would open above the valve to the outlet, and, if it tended to fall beyond the lower limit the ports H would open to a supply pipe E.
