Title: Improvements in Waste Outlets for Baths Basins and like Fixtures.
Inventor: GUTHRIE PATRICK FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-04-22
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 9327. Guthrie, P. F., and Hayes, T. April 22. Baths; lavatory basins, waste fittings for. A hollow valve F<1> located in the closed casing A acts as a discharge valve and as an overflow. The hollow valve stem F<3> passes through a stuffing-box J to the knob G. As the water rises in the vessel C and stand-pipe A, air is forced through the overflow holes F<4> up the stem through a lift valve H into the knob and then through holes G<2> into the atmosphere. The valve H normally prevents the escape of foul air into the room.

Title: Improvements in Fishing Rod or like Reels or Winches.
Inventor: ILWAINE JOHN BEDELL STANFORD M
Filed: 1907-04-29
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 9896. MacIlwaine, J. B. S. April. 29. Brakes, acting on flat sides of drums &c. Consists of means for checking and retarding fishing and like reels or winches of the type in which the reel is ordinarily free and the handle is pressed in to engage with the drum. The handle disk i is provided with a sleeve j which is slipped over the spindle k of the back frame-plate b, and is kept on this spindle by a screw l against the head of which it is normally kept by a spring m. The hub g of the drum turns on the sleeve j and can slide freely along it ; when it is in its extreme left-hand position, a projection on the hub keeps the flange e out of contact with the back-plate b to provide minimum friction, and when in its extreme right-band position a friction ring f<1> on the flange f engages with the handle disk i, variable degrees of friction being obtained by tilting the reel to various angles.

Title: Improvement in Malt Stirring and Transferring Apparatus
Inventor: UNVERZAGT CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1907-05-13
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 11,113. Unverzagt, C. H. May 13. Conveyers; elevators; loading.-A machine for agitating the grain in a malting-floor is also constructed to remove the grain from the floor when desired and deliver it to conveyers. On rails b on the walls a separating the malting floors runs a carriage consisting of side frames d, connecting beams e, and a trough f containing a screw-conveyer s. The two halves of this conveyer are oppositely directed so as to deliver material falling into the trough f equally into two troughs a, in which are placed screw-conveyers a<2>, between the malting floor over which the machine is working and the adjacent ones. The beams e and trough f also support disks g surrounded by rings h connected by teebars g<2> and running on wheels i on the edges of the disks g. The rings h also carry shafts j, on which are secured segmental buckets k provided with slotted arms l engaging with studs n on circular racks m held rotatably to the end rings h. On the carriage is mounted an electric motor E which drives the shaft s<1> of the conveyer s. The shaft s<1> drives a cross shaft D in either direction by a clutch and bevel gear, and the shaft D drives by a worm and wheel a shaft t carrying toothed wheels engaging with racks t<2> in the walls a. The shaft D also drives a shaft carrying toothed wheels engaging with the rings m so that, on reversing the motion of the shaft d, which is effected by the handle w<1> striking against stops w<3> at the ends of the floor, the buckets k are brought into position and the ring h then caused to revolve. In order to remove the malt when malted, pivoted valve plates o are journaled loosely on the shafts j and provided with pinions p<1> engaging with segments p journaled loosely in shafts r and normally held in such position thereon by springs as to hold the valves o closed. A bar q is provided which can be raised by a crank q<2> and handle q<1> so as to engage the tails p<2> of the segments p so that the valves o. are opened on arriving at the top and the grain passed to the conveyers. When the grain on one floor has been sufficiently treated, the apparatus is moved to the next floor by means of a carriage running on transverse rails at the ends of the floors.

Abstract: 15,355. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. July 20. Anthraquinone derivatives; dyes, artificial.- Leuco-derivatives of 1 4-diamino- or 1 : 4-dialkyldiamino-anthraquinones are obtained by condensirg a leucoquinizarin or a leuco-1 4-aminooxyanthraquinone with ammonia or a monoalkylamine. Suitable parent materials are the leuco-derivatives of quinizarin, 1: 4-aminooxyanthraquinone, 1: 4 : 5- trioxyanthraquinone, 1:4: 5: 6- and 1:4:5:8- tetroxyanthraquinone. These bodies yield on oxidation 1 : 4-diamino- or 1 ; 4-dialkyldiaminoanthraquinones. Sulphonation of these latter bodies in presence of boric acid gives wool dyes of blue to violet tints. Treatment of leuco derivatives of 1 : :4-dioxy- or 1 : 4-aminooxyanthraquinone sulphonic acids with ammonia or monoalkylamines gives dye-stuffs direct ; suitable leuco derivatives are those of 1:4:5- and 1 : 4 :6-quinizarin sulphonic acids and 1 : 4: 5-, 1:4:6-, 1 :4: 7, and 1:4:8- aminooxyanthraquinone sulphonic acids. Leuco- 1 :4-aminooxyanthraquinone-a-sulphonic acids are obtained by reducing with hydrosulphites the 1 : 4- aminooxyanthraquinone-a-sulphonic acids obtained by successively nitrating, reducing, and saponifying 1-methoxyanthraquinone-5- or 8-sulphonic acid.

The air and f u e supplies are controlled simultaneously, and air may be admitted after the fuel is cut off. Fuel from the inlet b is supplied to the annular passage e, which communicates with grooves f, Fig. 1, in the seat of the valve h. This valve, which is held down by the spring d, is provided with a number of fuel jets n, the upper portions of which terminate in very fine orifices, and also with a conical head t and an extension i acting as an air valve. This extension works in conjunction with the casing j, the ports m in which are much shorter than the ports p in the extension j. With this arrangement the fuel and air supplies can be opened up gradually, and the fuel can be cut off with the air supply at its maximum by rotating the valve h continuously in one direction. The extension s deflects the air over the fuel jets. With this carburettor, which works in any position, inverted if desired, no float-feed apparatus is used.

Title: An Automatic Tremolo Device particularly applicable to Acoustic Warning-apparatus Operated by Compressed Air or the like.
Inventor: TESTE ETIENNE
Filed: 1908-11-30
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 25,863. Teste, E. Nov. 30. Horns; whistles. - An automatic tremolo device for alarms operated by compressed air &c. is also arranged so that, if desired, either a steady note, or no sound at all, may be produced. The chamber d<2>, Fig. 4, containing the reed g or the like is cut off from the part c<1> by a partition e, and communicates only with the air supply b through tubes k<1>, j, c. In the tube j is the tremolo device composed of a hollow piston l closed at the lower end and acted on by a spring m opposed to the air pressure. Inside the piston l and fixed by a screwed end o to the upper end thereof is a sleeve n, perforated at n' and containing a valve p, Fig. 5, capable of closing the holes n' but acted on by a spring q to close normally the end o<1> of the sleeve n and leave the holes n open. The piston l also has an aperture opposite the holes n'. To produce a steady note, a ring u is turned on the cylinder j so that a slit t on the ring is brought into line with a slit s on the cylinder. On operation of the air supply, the piston l is forced down till a lug r thereon reaches the bottom of the slit t, and air can then freely pass through the tube k<1>. A safety-valve i, Fig. 8, is provided, and operates if the pressure in the chamber d<2> is too great for the reed &c. An inlet valve f allows air to pass to the air-supply bulb after operation. To produce a tremulous note, the ring u is turned so that the lug r, Fig. 5, of the piston is arrested by the flange u<1>. The air pressure then forces the valve p down, as shown in Fig. 8, allowing air to pass to the reed; but the valve p being immediately returned by the spring q, a continuous oscillation of the valve p and consequent trembling of the sound is produced. Emission of sound is completely prevented by turning the lug r, Fig. 5, into a lateral slit at the top of the slit s, thereby rendering the piston l immovable at the upper end of the cylinder j.
