Patent GB-190611986-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Dark Slides for use in Colour Photography.
Inventor: MUELLER ALBERT
Filed: 1906-05-22
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 11,986. M³ller, A. May 22. Colour photography; dark slides.-Relates to dark slides for three-colour photography, of the type wherein pivoted plate and high-filter carriers are adapted to be successively released by pneumatic means. When the carriers have been charged with plates and their respective filters, they are inserted into the dark slide from the back, fitting into grooves a, f. The slide is then placed in the camera and the shutter withdrawn. After exposure of the first plate, pressure is applied to the ball, the plate p is forced down, and a pin z tilts a lever m, thus lifting a catch l and releasing the first carrier, while the nose y retains the second carrier. The spring t on the plate carrier q presses the carrier g, and a spring presses the carrier b, which turns upon its trunnions in grooves a, carrying with it the lever x. Springs b then force forward the remaining carriers, the movement being limited by the catch l and the termination of the grooves a, f. Similarly, the second plate is exposed and the third plate brought into position for exposure. When three exposures have been made, the lever x is turned by the lever w, forcing the carrier b, g into the slide, where they are retained by the catch l, and the shutter may then be closed. Means, such as a coiled spring, may be provided for turning the lever x towards the camera after the shutter has been opened, or the lever w may be turned by hand. Other suitable means for holding the plates may be adopted, and in place of the trunnion previously described, small slides having bearing-parts and pushed along the grooves by spiral springs could be provided, the plate carriers having small hollow lugs with which the .spring bearing-parts engage.

Title: Improvements in Picker Buffers of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: PIERCE WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1906-11-22
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 26,462. Pierce, W. H., and Aspin, F. Nov. 22. Looms, checking pickers in.-A picker buffer a, which fits tightly on the picking-spindle c, consists of woven fabric or other material, such as cotton yarn, flax, hemp, wood pulp, paper, or cork, incorporated with india-rubber or the like. To prevent the buffer from being damaged by oil, it may be coated or impregnated with celluloid or the like.

Title: Improvements in Regenerative Arrangements for Furnaces.
Inventor: FISCHER JULIUS
Filed: 1907-06-27
Granted: 1908-06-29
Abstract: 14,818. Fischer, J. June 27. Air supply, heating.-A pipe is arranged partly in the passage for the air supply for combustion and partly in the adjacent escape passage for the furnace gases, and contains a liquid which is kept in motion and serves to transfer the heat from the combustion products to the air. The fuel may also be heated by passing it through the air passage. In one construction, Figs. 1 and 2, the two passages a, bare formed from a single passage divided by a removable sliding partition c to which the pipe d is secured. A reciprocating motion is imparted to the oil, water, &c. in the pipe by means of a pump e, the capacity of a single stroke of which approximitely equals the capacity of a half-turn of the pipe. A tank f may be arranged at the other end of the pipe as shown, or the pipe may be led in a straight or winding path to a tank at the pump end. The partition is made up of a sheet-metal plate h in a frame g, and the pipe is secured in semicircular notches in the frame by strips i, provided with similar notches and secured to the frame by screws. The windings of the pipe are differently curved so as to distribute the pipe as much as possible over the whole cross section of the passages. The pipe may be provided with webs or sheet-metal ribs to increase its surface area. Fuel maybe heated by passing it by a spiral conveyer through the air passage. The liquid may be caused to circulate in the pipe by means of the convection currents set up therein by unequal heating, or by evaporating the liquid in the warmer part of the pipe and condensing it in the colder, the return of the condensed liquid to the warmer part being effected by gravity. According to the Provisional Specification, any number of pipes may be used.

Filed: 1908-02-05
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 2602. Homeyard, G. F. Feb. 5. Lift valves; actuating valves and cocks.-Comprises a balanced, self-closing, hydraulic valve of the spindle type for hydraulic machines and apparatus. The inlet and exhaust valves d, e, Fig. 1, are pressed upon their seats by a lever g pivoted upon the upper ends of two links i, Fig. 2, which are connected at their lower ends to a piston j always subjected to the pressure of the fluid in the inlet pipe b. A spring may also act against the piston j so as to keep the valves closed when the fluid pressure is small. The smallest movement of the operating-lever f causes one or other of the valves to rise, the other valve spindle acting as a fulcrum. In a modified form, the lever g acts upon levers pressing against the valve spindles, and has flat surfaces so arranged that, when the operating-lever is pulled over beyond the point at which the valve is fully opened, it can be released without returning to the mid position.

Title: Improvements in Aeroplanes.
Inventor: FAUBER WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1908-11-12
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 24,344. Fauber, W. H. Nov. 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; framework; propelling; steering; shock of landing, deadening.-An aerial machine is supported by a number of laterally-extending aeroplanes 1, 2, Fig. 3, arranged behind one another in a substantially horizontal plane, but having the forward edge of each plane above the rear edge of the plane immediately in front. The leading edge of each plane is free while the other edges are fixed to an horizontal framework. When the machine is in motion the planes become curved, the leading edge being moved upwards by the wind pressure, so that the curvature of the plane increases from front to rear as shown in Fig. 6. Central planes 3, 4 formed of flexible material secured only at the side edges to the frame become arched when the machine is travelling. The framework for the planes comprises a rectangular frame 9, 10 stayed by,rods 11, 12, 13, the rod 12 extending on both sides of the frame rods 9. The rods 11, 12, 13 are connected to the keel 18 by inclined rods 19, 20, 21. Vertical posts 33 are secured to the rods 9 and are stayed together by wires &c. 34, while they are connected to the rods 9, 15 by braces 35, 36 and 37, 39. The planes 1 are triangular in shape and connected at two sides to the rods 9, 15 while the forward edge is left free, so that the plane may take up a curved form when the machine is in motion. The rear triangular planes 2 are connected to the rods 9 and stays 16, and the front side is free so that it may take up a position above the rear edge of the front plane. Rectangular planes with the front free edge overlapping the rear edge of the adjacent plane may be placed between the front and rear triangular planes. The central aeroplanes 3, 4 are formed of flexible material with a central rib 44, and when the machine is in motion they become arched. The aeroplanes 3, 4 are connected at the side edge to the frame rods 9 and are arranged so that the curvature decreases from the front to the rear. Vertical planes 7, 8 are fixed centrally of the machine and steering-planes 6, 5 are provided. The rear plane 5 is mounted on a flexible rod 17 secured to the frame, and the plane is bent downwards by an operating-cord 46. The propeller is arranged to direct a current of air on the steering- plane 5 when this is inclined. The vertical steering-plane 6 is connected at its free end to the middle of the rod 14 by a spring 50, and is operated by cords 51. Pneumatic-tyred wheels 58 for supporting the machine when on land are mounted on one arm of a U-shaped spring 60, Fig. 8, the other arm being fixed to the keel 18. When the machine strikes the ground forcibly, the springs 60 yield to permit the tops of the pneumatic tyres to come into contact with the arm 61 so that the tyre is compressed both on its upper and lower sid es.
