Patent GB-190613993-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Lace and in the Method of Making the same.
Inventor: BIRKIN THOMAS STANLEY
Filed: 1906-06-19
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 13,993. Birkin, T. S., and Anderson, T. June 19. Lace - making. - Double four-gait clothing, two, three and four gait Swiss clothing or fining, single and double nip combination effects, and openwork are produced on a curtain machine provided with three full-threaded guide-bars of which the back bar a carries thick spool threads, the centre bar b fine spool threads, and the front bar c the warp threads. The jacks are each connected to a double-action double-lift jacquard and to a single or double action single-lift jacquard. At the commencement of a motion, the carriages are in the back combs, the trick bar g falls one gait, and the bars a, b, c each two gaits. The jacks are then selected by both jacquards, after which the spool bars a, b fall two more gaits, while the warp bar a rises one gait. The carriages then pass to the front, the twists are taken up, and the second half-motion commences with the trick bar g rising one gait. The spool bars a, b then rise three gaits and the warp bar c two gaits, after which the double-lift jacquard selects the jacks. The single-lift jacquard, if double-acting, also selects. The spool bars a, b then rise one gait each, and the warp bar c falls one gait. The carriages then pass and the twists are taken up. For producing the double four-gait clothing A from the thteads d, e, the jacks are held in the position i, clear of all the threads, on both half-motions. For producing the four-gait Swiss clothing B from the heads e; the jacks enter to the position j on both half-motions. For producing the three-gait Swiss effects C, the jacks enter to the positions j, k on the front and back half-motions respectively. By entering the jacks to the positions k, j, respectively, the two-gait Swiss effects D are obtained. For single-nip combination work E, the jacks are held in the position k, l on the front and back half-motions respectively. For double-nip combination work E, the jacks are held in the position l and for openwork F, in the position k, on both half-motions. Other effects of the same character as the above-described can be obtained by varying the cycle of motion of the guide-bars.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Arcs for the Electrical Treatment of Gases.
Inventor: PAULING HARRY
Filed: 1906-08-20
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 18,599. Pauling, H. Aug. 20. Electric furnaces. -For spreading the arc-discharges used in the electrical treatment of gases, for example, in the production of nitric acid from air, the gas to be treated is supplied from blastpipes 5 to a place at or near the point of greatest proximity of the diverging electrodes 2 ; the pipes are so disposed that their median axis lies in the flame of the electrodes ; the current of gas and the electric discharges are thus spread out as shown in Fig. 2. In a modification of the apparatus, a number of pairs of pipes may be employed. Magnetic means 8 may also be employed to assist the action.
Patent GB-190619268-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Distribution of Liquids such as Sewage, and the like.
Inventor: MACCORMAC ERNEST CAMPBELL
Filed: 1906-08-29
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 19,268. Maccormac, E. C. Aug. 29. Spray-producers and spreaders.-In rotary distributors for liquids, such as are used for distributing sewage over bacteria beds, apparatus is provided for regulating the speed of rotation when a sudden increase of liquid, such as storm water, tends to drive the distributor too fast. A rotary bucket or receptacle D, Fig. 2, is provided with perforated radial arms, which drive the receptacle on the central sbaft B on the principle of a Barker's mill. A brake strap A surrounds the shaft B and is fixed at one end on the receptacle D. The other end of the strap A is secured to a lever C, pivoted at E on the receptacle D and operated by a rope F, passing over pulleys H, I and supporting at its ends a bucket L and counterpoise N, respectively. The bucket L is connected by a flexible pipe M to the receptacle D, so that when liquid rises in the receptacle D the bucket L is filled and drops so as to operate the lever C to apply the strap to the shaft B, and thus retard the motion of the distributor.

Title: An Improved Reversing for Shafts.
Inventor: SUNDBERG AUGUST
Filed: 1906-10-10
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 22,409. Sundberg, A., and Ericsson, G. Nov. 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Reversing-gearing; crank linkages.-Relates to reversing-gearing, applicable to motor-boats, of the type in which crank linkages are employed, and consists in the provision of a cross-head guide o running diametrically across a drum n that encloses the gear. The driving-shaft a carries two cranks c, d at right-angles to one another and connected by a disk &c. g. The driven shaft b carries similar cranks c, f connected by a disk &c. The cranks d, f are connected by links s, t to a cross-head m, and the cranks c, e by links p, r to a cross-head l. The direct drive is obtained by clutching the shaft b to the drum n by a clutch D and the reverse by releasing the clutch and braking the drum n. By arranging the cross-heads m, l as sleeves upon a diametral guide comprising a bar o, twisting stresses are said to be minimized.
Patent GB-190623074-A (GB)
Title: Gaseous Fluid Turbine
Inventor: WEDEKIND CARLO
Filed: 1906-10-18
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 23,074. Wedekind, C. Oct. 21, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-The arrangement described comprises charging-apparatus, explosion c h a mbers, and nozzles adapted to deliver the products of combustion of any combustible gas to the blade passages of a parallelflow turbine. Fig. 3 shows the charging-chamber 3, to which air is admitted by a pipe 1, and gas by openings 5 from one or more chambers 6. The mixture passes by pipes 11 to the combustion chambers 9 which are constructed of refractory material, and are of any suitable shape. The securing-plates 12 and sparking-plugs 13 of four such chambers grouped round the charging-apparatus are shown in Fig. 1. Cooling-water may be circulated in the casing chamber 29 and may produce steam. The nozzles 14 which deliver the burnt gases to the turbine are constructed as shown in Fig. 5. The hollow needle 15, operated by the hand - wheel 16, regulates the opening, and the small nozzle 40 at the tip of the needle 15 is itself regulated by the needle 17 worked by the wheel 18. Steam from the water jacket 29 enters at the opening 41 and assists the gas in the nozzles. Intermediate nozzles 19, Fig. 1, receive steam from the jacket 29 by the pipes 22 and deliver it to the turbine, thus serving to cool the blades. Starting may be effected by admitting steam through these nozzles, or through the hollow needles 15 of the gas nozzles 14. In the turbine shown in Fig. 3, both sets of vanes rotate, the hollow sleeve 34, which carries the supports 28 for the intermediates 26, being connected with the gear-box 35. The intermediate blades 26 may, however, be fixed to the casing. The turbine shaft 33 runs in ball-and-socket bearings 30, as shown, and motion is transmitted to the power shaft through suitable gearing. The gases may be previously compressed in a machine, actuated or not by the turbine. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the statement that the disks of the turbine may be made of sheet nickel or other metal, and that the structural arrangements may be varied. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

To prevent the screws from getting detached from the cover and mislaid, a collar or a sleeve C<2>, which may be of insulating- material, is placed round it, as shown in Fig. 1 ; or, instead of this, the screw itself may be provided with a thickened place ; in certain cases, the screws may be used in addition for securing a switch or ceiling rose to the fitting. The fittings may be made wider at the place where the screws areintroduced, and the lids may be provided with strengthening-webs K and steady pins G, as shown in Fig. 15, the latter being cast straight and " annealed," and then bent outwards as indicated.
