Patent GB-190508806-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Bottles with Aerated Liquids and Beverages.
Inventor: SHARMAN FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-04-26
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 8806. Sharman, F. April 26. Bottling. - In bottling aerated liquids and bever ages, means are provided to prevent frothing, by filling the bottle against a back pressure, taps being dispensed with. The gas or air tube is made in twc parts b, c, the upper part b being formed at its lower end into a piston d into which the lower part c is screwed. Around the piston d a spring-controlled liquid valve f is loosely mounted. The lower part c of the air tube passes through and is connected to the liquid pipe a, gas and liquid entering the bottle through ports s, r respectively. In operation, the bottle to be filled is pressed up against a rubber pad p and so pushes up the piston d, which slides through the valve f, which is held closed by its spring, and opens the air or gas valve u. The further upward motion of the bottle causes the top of the liquid pipe to open the valve f, the liquid pasing in through the portsj. When the bottle is removed, the parts are returned to their normal position by the spring o.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Forming and Inserting Slugs, Pegs, Staples or the like
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-06-14
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 12,353. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. June 14. Nailing; stapling; inserting screwed wire. -Apparatus for inserting nails, slugs, screws, staples, &c., particularly the machine described in Specification No. 1492, A.D. 1893, in which the length of the wire &c. inserted is equal to the thickness of the stock, is improved by providing means whereby the length of wire is greater than the thickness of the stock with thick stocks. The measuring-leg G<3>, which co-operates with a rod connected to the horn of the machine to determine the length of wire cut off, has an eccentric connexion with the arm C<6> of the wirefeeding lever, consisting of the strap 200 surrounding the pin 202 on the end of the lever 204, pivoted to the arm C<6> by the bolt 206. The lever 204 has a slot 208 engaging the fixed stud 210, on which it rocks when the arm C<6> oscillates, causing the leg G<3> to move relatively to the arm C<6>. The effect of this motion is that, with stocks of increasing thickness, the length of the wire cut off will increasingly exceed the thickness of the stock. The slot 208, or one of its sides, may be curved, allowing "lost motion," so that with thin stocks no increase in the length of wire is effected.

Title: Titration Apparatus.
Inventor: KOENIG RUDOLF
Filed: 1905-07-24
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 15,160. K÷nig, R. July 24. Burettes.-A burette f is provided with the usual discharge tap at the bottom, and with a three-way cock g at the top, which, when turned as in Fig. 3, places the burette in communication with h extension tubes m, l by the passages i, h, respectively. The vessel d, which holds the standard solution, is closed to the air by a ground stopper n. The tube l, passing through an opening h in the platform e, on a stand a, delivers liquid from the vessel d to the burette, the air expelled from the burette going by the tube m to the vessel d. When the burette is filled to the zero (which is at the cock g), the cock g is turned as in Fig. 4, so that the burette is open to the air by the passage k. The ground junctions p, q and the ordinary cock o enable the vessel d to be detached from the burette for refilling.

Title: An Anchor for Air Ships.
Inventor: THOMAS DAVID
Filed: 1905-08-02
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 15,858. Thomas, D. Aug. 2. Anchoring. - An anchor for air-ships consists of a hollow pointed body A, Figs. 2 and 3, wherein slides a plate with projecting edges 13 which are arrested by the ground, as shown in Fig. 3. The plate is attached, by a cord 24 which passes over a pulley 26, to a rod 19 passing through openings in the plate 13 and the top of the body and carrying at its lower end the pivoted flukes 20, 21. The points of these are normally maintained within bevelled openings 17,18 in the sides of the casing by a spring-pressed block 22. When the plate is arrested by the ground, the penetration of the body tightens the cord 24 and draws down the rod 19, so that the flukes are extended. The air-ship may then be drawn to earth by winding the other end of the anchor cable 28 on a windlass. To extract the anchor, the plate 13 is lowered by removing the earth from under it, whereupon the rod 19 can be raised freely. In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the wedge-shaped flukes 37, 38 are used. These are raised by hand in order that the sliding wedge bleck 39 may be inserted between them, as shown in Fig. 5, preparatory to casting the anchor. After entry in the ground, the pull of the air-ship on the cable 41 raises the anchor slightly and opens the flukes until they are locked by the abutment of the surfaces d<2> against the block 39, as shown in Fig. 6. Withdrawal is effected by raising the block by the rod 40, the flukes rotating about their pivots during withdrawal until their surfaces d rest on the stop-block 36.

Title: Improvements relating to Locking Devices in connection with Winding Reels and other Revoluble Mechanisms Operated by a Handle.
Inventor: BOARDMAN LEE
Filed: 1905-09-02
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 17,771. Boardman, L. Sept. 2. Reeling ropes and cords; cleats or holders.-A reel for the winding and unwinding of cords for suspending clothes-racks, sun-blinds, lamps, and the like comprises a locking-device which is operated simultaneously with the grasping of the handle. Fixed to the disk a, which may be bolted to a wall, is a hollow cylindrical casing b provided at its outer edge with a series of notches e. The flanged circular drum i is fitted with a handle k and can rotate on the tube h. A spindle l traverses the handle and abuts against one arm of a spring-held pivoted lever n, the other arm of which is normally held in one of the notches e. Thus, on the knob k being grasped, the lever is released by the operation of the spindle, and the drum i may consequently be rotated. The device is stated to be applicable to other mechanical apparatus, the actuating-handles of which require locking.

Title: Improvements in Lubricating Pumps.
Inventor: DELAUNAY-BELLEVILLE LOUIS MARI
Filed: 1905-11-10
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 23,142. Belleville, L. M. G. Delaunay-. Sept. 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Oscillating pumps.-Relates to lubricating-pumps of the valveless oscillating type and consists in the provision of means whereby the working of such pumps shall remain unaffected when the engine is reversed. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of part of the engine showing the pump A having an oscillating cylinder B mounted upon trunnions b and a plunger B<1> actuated from an eccentric C upon the main shaft. A movable sleeve a is mounted between the pump body A and one of the trunnions b having orifices as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. The orifices in the lower surface of the ring a open into the suction chamber, while the pump body A is open at the top to the delivery. The ring a is actuated by means of a cam-mechanism E and suitable link-work from the shaft D, which is identical with that which operates the steamdistributing sectors of the engine. In the position shown in Fig. 2, the plunger of the pump is at its lower dead centre, so that the orifices must be in a suitable position for the suction stroke in whatever direction the engine may be working. When the cam is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the cylinder B and trunnions b are about to move in the direction indicated by the arrows 9, Fig. 4, while the delivery ports 10 are just closing and the suction ports 11 opening. When the engine is reversed and the cam is in the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the barrel is about to move in the direction indicated by the arrows 12, Fig. 6, and the sleeve a has then moved into a new position, so that the delivery orifice 10 and suction orifices 11 are again just closing and opening, respectively. The position of the sleeve a can be adjusted by means of the adjusting-screw 8. The cams E are so shaped that change in the position of the sleeve a only takes place when actual reversal of the engine occurs. The invention is also shown applied to a Marshall valve-gear.
