Title: Improvements in Briquet Presses or Machines for Compressing Plastic or Powdered Substances.
Inventor: MARSH HOWARD ELLSWORTH
Filed: 1906-06-08
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 13,281. Marsh, H. E. June 27,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding briquettes &c.-An endless chain of moulds is formed of a series of disconnected moulds 3 having side extensions projecting into the spline 2 by which they are guided round the somewhat oval frame 1. The balance driving wheels 10 are mounted on an axle at one side of a vertical line through the shaft 6 in bearings on arms 13 on the rock-shaft 6, so that the springs 19 on the jointed links 14 to which the arms 13 are connected are kept constantly under tension by the weight of the wheels. Material is fed into the moulds from the hopper 29 by shoes s on a rotating feeder 30, the mould mouths being slightly flared to allow the shoes to enter, and the briquettes &c. are then formed by the compressing-gear 32 contacting with the plunger rods 26 and forcing the material against the flat faces 21 of the drum 4. The offset faces of the gear serve to push the plungers and thus impart motion to the chain, and tension rods 34 serve to hold the boxes 3 firm during compression. A rotating member 39 serves to eject the briquettes.

Title: Process of Preparing and Growing and Distributing Organisms which Fix or Gather Atmospheric Nitrogen.
Inventor: EARP-THOMAS GEORGE HERBERT

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 15,949. Thomas, G. H. Earp-. Sept. 29, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Bacteria, cultivating. - Nitrogen-gathering bacteria for treating seed, soil, or crops are obtained by washing a nodule from the root of a leguminous plant, immersing it in sterilized water, corrosive sublimate, &c., drying it on paper, and fracturing it. The bacteria are rubbed into water and developed on a nitrogen-free medium in an incubator to serve as a pure stock culture. For distribution in a virulent form, small quantities of the pure culture are incubated and distributed in vessels containing a nitrogen-free and preferably solid medium, consisting of a filtered and sterilized solution of wood-ash, agar-agar, and maltose in water. The distribution vessels may be corked or sealed, or stopped with antiseptic cotton. For use, the bacteria are emptied into water, which may contain sugar and ash. They may be restored to virulence by adding to the distribution vessel a liquid medium of ash and maltose in water and keeping the vessel warm. The bacteria may be developed for treating a large amount of seed or poor crops in a solution of wood-ash and sugar or maltose in water, to which ammonium phosphate may be added.

Title: Improvements in Sectional Covers for Hatchways.
Inventor: FREY ERNEST HARMOUNT
IPC: B62B9/12
Filed: 1906-08-01
Granted: 1907-11-01
Abstract: 17,307. Frey, E. H. Aug 1. Hatches.-The hatch is formed of sections hinged together alternately at the upper and under sides of the batch, as shown at 5, 6, Fig. 2, so that the sections can be folded into a vertical position and drawn to either side of the opening by hauling on a line 9, which passes over pulleys 10 at the top of posts 11 and between pairs of roller 8, mounted at the edge of each alternate section As the end section is raised, hooks 26, Fig. 10, and latch bars 33 enter openings in it, so as to secure it in the vertical position. The transverse edges of the sections are bent down to fit over the coaming. The hinged joints are provided with rubber or other packing-strips 14, Figs. 8 and 9, secured between angle-bars 13, the ends of which engage the inner sides of the coaming and maintain the sections in true alinement. In order to prevent undue friction, spring-pressed rollers 31, Fig. 11, mounted near the side edges of the sections, run on guidebars 30 fixed to the sides of'the coaming. The posts 11 can be removably fitted into sockets, or can be hinged so that they can be folded out of the way when not in use. In the form shown in Fig. 5, posts 19 are pivoted to the end sections of the cover, and are provided with brace-bars 20, adapted to abut against a shoulder 21. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which the operating-line passes under the cover and engages rollers s mounted at the lower ends of struts 22. -

Filed: 1907-05-31
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 12,640. Moore, S. Bramley-. May 31. Automatic systems of raising water &c. - A direct fluid-pressure apparatus consists of a vessel having two chambers a, b, Fig. 1, provided with a port c through which the liquid to be raised flows by gravity, ports e, h for the discharge of the liquid, a port g communicating with the source of pressure, and a port d which opens to the atmosphere. The port e also serves for the admission of pressure into the upper chamber, but an additional valve may be employed for the purpose. The valves c', e<1> are operated by the double bell-crank lever l rocked by means of projections m<3>, m<3> on the cross-arm of the bell-crank lever m. A float r, loosely mounted on the rod o between collars o<1>, o<2>, operates the lever m and through it the lever l and valves c<1>, e'. A pin t on the lever l contacts the bell-crank lever s, which governs the valve d'. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the liquid flows through the port c into a vessel v which is operatively connected to the lever l. As the vessel v sinks, the valve c' closes and the valve v<1> is opened by direct contact on the bottom of the chamber a. The lever l operates the spring-controlled valve d' by means of the bell-crank lever s. The balance weight on the lever l restores the vessel v to its highest level when empty. By suitably proportioning the sizes of the ports e, h, a constant flow may be obtained from the delivery port h.
