Title: Improvements in or relating to Roller Blinds or Awnings.
Inventor: HARRISON WILLIAM ALEXANDER
IPC: E04F10/06
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 6659. Harrison, W. A. March 16. [Cognate Application 15,967/10.] Window blinds, supporting - frames for. Side arms for shop and other blinds are formed with two principal strips 3, 3<Î>, one of which is pivoted directly or indirectly to a fixed bracket 18, and the other to a sleeve 9 which is adapted to slide on a bar 7, to which it is locked by pins in the required position, thus making the side-arms self-supporting. Fig. 8 shows an ordinary lazy-tong construction arranged above the blind and Fig. 1 a similar form having an additional strut 10 pivoted to a second sleeve 11, the whole being placed below the blind. The locking-device comprises a bar 12 which is adapted, when rotated by a key, to turn stop-pins 14, Fig. 4, out of the path of the sleeves, or to project them either above and below the sleeves, or through a slot therein, so as to prevent movement in either direction. The notched locking-bar may be utilized also as a guide bar, the separate rod 12 being dispensed with. Supports for side blinds are similarly formed, and are stayed to resist windpressure by the means shown in plan in Fig. 20. The end 33 of a strut 30 which is capable of sliding in a guide 32 is attached by a cord 34 to the other face of the side-arm at 36. The blind-roller in this construction is vertical, and the whole is locked as before. Figs. 12 and 16 show further modifications in which one of the links 3, 3x, is extended past the pivot to carry directly the front bar B of the blind. The blind arm may also be adapted to carry an awning mounted on the under side of a balcony, in which case the locking- bar may be controlled by bevel-gearing.

Abstract: 9205. Haddan, H. J., [International Clarifying Co.]. April 15. Separating liquids from solids by straining; baskets; driving. -Relates to centrifugal machines driven by a turbine mounted directly on t h e spindle of the machine, the turbine casing carrying the spindle being elastically mounted in the framing of t h e machine, and consists in improvements in the arrangement of the turbine casing and in the construction of the bowl and casing. The turbine casing 6 is carried by arms 4 on a base 3 mounted between rubber buffers 7, 8 in the base of the frame of the machine below the footstep bearing 19 of the machine spindle. The spindle is mounted in water-packed bearings in the turbine casing, which are supplied with water from the condensed steam. The bowl 35 is mounted on the spindle by means of a conical piece 41, which also serves as a removable bottom to the bowl, being secured thereto by a screw 45 and nut 46. The bowl is provided with a central feed-pipe 37 with distributing-openings 47 and wings 50 at the lower end thereof. The pipe 37 is provided with shelves 38 for collecting the lighter solids to be removed from the liquid, arranged opposite to shelves 36 on the walls of the drum for collecting the heavier impurities. The shelves 36 are formed in sector - shaped pieces, turned down at the ends to communicate motion to the liquid as shown at 71, and secured together by metal clips. A perforated bowl, for use in filtering &c., and removable from the spindle in the same way as the one described above, is also described. The casing of the machine is provided with a gutter 63 for receiving the issuing liquid, which is thrown into it from a disk 66 surrounding the outlet openings 55 of the drum. The casing is divided diagonally and hinged, and is also provided with a door 61 as shown in Fig. 3 to facilitate removal of the bowl. Overhead rails may be provided to support a traveller which removes one bowl and substitutes another. The machine is provided with a band brake actuated by the lever 32 and operating on the pulley 28<b>. The lever 32 is so arranged that when let go it falls by its own weight and releases the brake.

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 14,206. Gregory, V. H. June 11. Glass furnaces.-In a furnace for heating invertible pots A employed in drawing glass, a baffle E is arranged in the inlet port D for hot gases, so that a portion of the gases is directed against the underside of the pot, and a small portion is diverted towards the outlet C for glass which has drained out of the pot. As a modification, a projection may be formed close to the mouth of the port and provided with passages inclined towards the outlet C. When the floor of the port slopes downwards as described in Specification 8535/10, a ridge is formed on the floor, and passages are arranged in the ridge so that any glass that has fallen behind the ridge, as well as a portion of the hot gases, may flow towards the outlet C.

Title: Improvements in and in the Manufacture of Electric Metal Filament Lamps.
Inventor: SKAUPY FRANZ
IPC: H01K1/54
Filed: 1910-06-29
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 15,621. Skaupy, F. Dec. 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Residual gases; filaments, supports for. - Metal-filament lamps contain a metal halogen compound such as thallic chloride, giving off during use of the lamps halogen gases or their compounds, which retard disintegration of the filaments, but exert too low a pressure to impair the vacuum. The halogen gases may also combine with any traces of hydrogen or the like. Instead of thallic chloride, there may be used thallo-thallic chloride, thallium-potassium chloride, platinous chloride, platinic chloride, which forms platinous chloride on heating, dry hydrated ferric chloride, tri-potassium hydrofluoro - plumbate, or tri - potassium fluoro plumbate; hydrogen chloride and salt are unsuitable. The pressure of the halogenous gases evolved is too low for direct measurement except at higher temperatures than are attained in the use of the lamps. Filaments must be regular in section, to prevent them from attack by the halogen gases. The metallic compounds, alone or with non-volatile substances, may be contained in tubes which may form the central filament-supporting stems. Any deposits formed on the bulbs are light-coloured.

Abstract: 6999. Kitchen, J. G. A., and Storey, I. H. March 21. Auxiliary surfaces for varying draught.- Supporting-bodies of circular or like form are adjustably mounted on flying-machines so as to enable them to alight upon and fly from the surface of water. Such supporting-bodies are also adapted for use on hydroplanes. Fig. 1 represents a machine which with planes forms a flying-machine and without planes acts as a hydroplane. Three supporting-bodies D, D<1> are shown circular in outline and concave beneath. They may be buoyant, or pontoons may be employed. The two front bodies Dare mounted on the ends of a laminated spring 1, Fig. 3, by means of bell-crank levers 4, controlled by rods 8 and a hand-lever E so that the bodies may be moved into a vertical position to act as ground wheels. The spring 1 may be mounted on the framework of the skid 3 so as to swivel at 19 and thus vary the angle of incidence of the bodies D, when actuated by a lever 21 and links 22. The rear body D<1> can be turned into a vertical position by means of a shaft 11 and crank 12, rotated from the lever E or separately. When the body D<1> is laterally inclined, the rear part of the machine is turned sideways in the direction in which the body dips. Steering may be effected by turning the rear body about an axis 13 through links 17 connected to the rudder C and to a foot-lever 18.
