Patent GB-190100293-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Tap-filters or the like.
Inventor: AVEZARD AUGUSTE FRANCOIS
Filed: 1901-01-04
Granted: 1901-02-09
Abstract: 293. Avezard, A. F., and Clerc, J. E. Jan. 4. Tap &c. filters; cleansing.-The hollow filter body b is enclosed in a casing h, i of but slightly larger size so that there is only a small space between the two, and an effective scouring action is therefore produced when unfiltered water is drawn from the tap connected at s. The body b is connected to the outlet valve by a stem and a stuffing-box. The body and casing are preferably spherical for the sake of strength, and are separated by rubber pads r. To cleanse and sterilize the filter when necessary, a suitable fluid is introduced through the opening l, and is forced into and through the pores of the filter body by the pressure of unfiltered water admitted at n by a cock in the service pipe. A number of the above filters may be connected in series by connections between their unfiltered water inlets and outlets, the outlet taps being connected to a common outlet.

Title: Improvements in Devices for X-rays.
Inventor: MARE FREDERIC DE
Filed: 1901-03-09
Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 5077. Mare, F. de. March 9. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus.-Relates to Rontgen - ray tubes with cooling-arrangements for the electrodes, the electrodes in one modification being removable for cleaning purposes. Fig. 3 shows the circulating system for cooling the electrodes. Each electrode 2, 8 has a rotary pump g, both pumps being driven from an electromotor 10 by insulating belt gearing. Cold water is forced by the pumps through flexible pipes 22 and a central pipe into contact with the back of the electrode discs, flowing back through the annular space between the two tubes, and then by the pipes 19 to the cisterns 17. The water is drawn from the bottom of the cisterns through cooling-pipe coils into the pumps, and so on. The Rontgen tube with removable electrodes is shown in section in Fig. 4. The tubes leading to the electrode discs are adapted for the circulation of a cooling-liquid as already described. The different parts are, however, in this modification connected by ground stoppers as at 31, 32, 39, and 40. The electrode tubes are encased in aluminium, to prevent metallic particles of platinum from being projected on the sides of the tube.

Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 7830. Guattari, A. April 16. Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-The tubular stopper a is made in two longitudinal parts, formed with interengaging projections and recesses, and secured together by cement &c. The stopper is provided with a cork sleeve d, and is secured in the neck of the bottle &c. by the hooks c<1> on the ring c mounted in the recess e of the stopper, or by spring-controlled plungers in the stopper, the hooks or plungers engaging in the recess f in the neck. The passage through the stopper is normally closed by the valve i, which is held on its seat by the spring l. The spring surrounds the stem n of the valve, and is partially enclosed by a sleeve on the lower of the two perforated discs k, which serve to prevent tampering with, and as a guide for, the valve. The upper end of the stopper is normally closed by a cork m. When the vessel is inverted, the valve is opened by the weight o against the action of the spring l, and permits the contents to flow out, the annular flange on the upper end of the valve serving in conjunction with the sleeve on the lower disc k to protect the spring from contact with the liquid. The upper end of the stopper &c. is pierced with small channels h, to prevent the introduction of liquid by means of a force-pump &c.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Braids.
Inventor: VERCASSON JOSEPH
Filed: 1901-12-18
Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 25,863. Vercasson, J. Dec. 18. Braid; braiding-machines.-R2lates to making a tubular braid which, when developed, has a fancy edge. The braid may be developed by cutting or drawing out the threads, which bind together the selvages. Fig. 1 shows the tube as made, and Fig. 2 when developed. The tube is formed on a mandrel c, which is rotated in one direction or the other to make the selvage binding-thread take a curved course as shown at B, Fig. 1. This rotation may be effected in various ways by a pinion c' and a rack E operated by a cam F or by two cams, each acting on a single truck ; the mandrel may also be rotated by bevel gearing actuated by a pair of ratchet-wheels, the pawls of which are operated from a jacquard. The diameter of the tube may be varied by using the mandrel shown in Fig. 13. having different diameters at C, C'. The mandrel is raised or lowered by a lever K acted on by a cam or cams f, F, or operated by a jacquard.

Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 1787. Ustyanowski, H., and Sobolewski, W. Jan. 22. Filters for use in wells. -Consists of improved mean for packing a filter at the bottom of the tubing of an artesian well. The filter a, which consists of a perforated tube covered with wire gauze, has a screwed upward extension, with which engages a screwed sleeve f formed with slots q for the usual cross-piece on the end of the sinking rod. The packing consists of a rubber tube d having a spring core, and, after the partial withdrawal of the well tubing, the packing is compressed, as shown, between the loose ring e and collar c, by turning the sleeve f, and therefore caused to expand laterally. To withdraw the filter, the sleeve f is turned in the opposite direction and the picking is extended by its spring core.

Patent GB-190215226-A (GB)
Title: Improved Mechanism for Electrically Controlling Mechanical Motion.
Inventor: MACQUISTEN ARTHUR PENRHYN STAN
Filed: 1902-07-08
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 15,226. Macquisten, A. P. S. July 8. Signal levers; controlling and locking signals. - Relates to mechanism for electrically controlling mechanical motion, which mechanism may be applied for actuating railway signals and points, but is shown as applied in the form of a stop mechanism to a loom. A lever c, c<1> pivoted at b in a casing a is constantly reciprocated from the leg e, or other part of the loom, by means of a bracket d. The upper end c of the lever carries a trigger f, f the top of which engages a slot in a sliding bar g connected to a bar l pressing against the stopping and starting lever m. The armature i of an electromagnet is pivoted at b and provided with a hooked end h for engaging the end f of the trigger when the electromagnet is energized. The electromagnet is included in a circuit, which is completed when one of the warp threads breaks, to energize the electromagnet ; the magnet then attracts the armature and causes the hook h to engage the trigger, which thus becomes locked to the moving lever c, c<1> and moves the slide g. This movement detaches the lever m from its notch and stops the machine. The armature lever i is connected by a spring to the lever c so that the oscillations of the lever bring the armature i close to the electromagnet, and also separate it from the energized magnet after it has been attracted. Or the mechanism may be arranged in connection with the lever of railway signals or points, so that on closing the electromagnet circuit at a distance, the trigger mounted on the handlever will transmit the motion to the points or signals.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, a flange b is bolted to each side of the felloe a to form a channel, in which lies a ring d<1> having undercut grooves d. An outer cover g, formed with thickened edges g<1> adapted to engage in the grooves, may be closed by a strip e to form an inflatable tube, or may be provided with an inner tube f. Creeping of the parts is prevented by projections b<1> within the flanges b and corresponding notches d' on the ring d<1>.In a modification, the outer cover has lips which project between the ring d<1> and the inner air tube. After the flanges have been removed, the pneumatic tyre can be replaced by a solid rubber tyre having correspondingly-shaped edges. In a modification, the ring is removed with the pneumatic tyre, and the whole is replaced by a wired-on solid rubber tyre.
