Title: An Improved Spirit-heated Sad-iron
Inventor: KRAMER ARNOLD
Filed: 1905-06-01
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 11,506. Kramer, A. June 1. Burners, applications of; vaporizing -apparatus.-In an internally-heated spirit iron, the vaporizer A, filled with slagwool, glass balls, or other matter, is placed within the body of the iron and is connected with the reservoir R by a tube T containing a wick, and with the burner tube D by a vertical tube B and an internal tube C opening into it at the top. A tube or wire F surrounds the vaporizer and conducts heat to the back-plate G and so to the wicktube. Holes for air supply and escape of combustion products are formed at the top and bottom of the iron body. In the " small ladies' " or travelling iron," shown in Fig. 2, the vaporizer is contained within the burner tube, from which it is separated by a plate H; the inner tube C is bent at the end and passes through the vaporizer to the burner tube. At starting, the vaporizer in either form of apparatus is heated by placing it on the spirit warming-stand W, Fig. 2.

Granted: 1906-06-30
Abstract: 13,580. Fell, J. C., [Kornd÷rfer, E.]. July 1. Emulsions, making.-To ammonia emulsions of oil and fat are added soluble salts of the earth alkalies in oiling cotton and other vegetable fibres. Preferably, chlorides, such as magnesium chroride, are used. For example, turkey-red, olive, and refined paraffin oils are emulsified by boiling with dilute ammonia and the mass is added to a boiling dye bath. Crystallized magnesium chloride is then added and the bath used for treating cotton. In another bath, coco-nut fat is substituted for the olive oil.

Title: Improvements in & connected with the Employment of Telephone Meters in Common Microphone Battery System.
Inventor: OPPENHEIMER HERMANN
Filed: 1905-07-27
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 15,435. Oppenheimer, H., [Akt.-Ges. Mix & Genest]. July 27. Telephone systems.-Relates to metering arrangements for common-battery telephone systems in which the meters are connected during conversation to the c-line of the cord circuit. The meter a is connected to a third spring h of the answering jack d, and the connexions are such that, when the answering plug f is inserted in the jack d, the meter a is thrown in series with the high-resistance cut-off relay b, the switching-on relay l being in parallel with the meter. Current thus flows from the battery k through the relay l and meter a in parallel to the bush of the jack d, and thence through the relay b back to the battery. This current is not strong enough to actuate the meter, but on depression of the meter key g the relay b is short-circuited and the meter actuated.

Title: Improvements in Irreversible Controlling Apparatus.
Inventor: ARBEY CHARLES ALPHONSE
Filed: 1905-10-02
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 19,902. Arbey, C. A. Oct. 2. Brakes.-Relates to a self-locking controlling- lever in which a tendency of the controlled member to move in one direction tightens a helical spring to clutch a fixed drum, while any movement of the operating-lever loosens the spring and allows the controlled member to be adjusted. The device is shown arranged for operating a velocipede brake. It may also be used to control various parts of a motor-car, such as the brake. The fixed drum a is screwed to a support e attached to the handle of the velocipede. The helical coil b clasps the drum and is surrounded by a sleeve c around which the flexible brake member f is partly wound, being secured to the sleeve at c<4>. The operating-lever d is carried on the drum and lies with a limited amount of play in a notch c<5> in the sleeve, being kept in position by a flange a<2>, One end b<1> of the spring coil is secured to the sleeve c ; the other end b<2> engages a notch in the boss d' of the handle. A strain upon the controlled member c in the direction of the arrow tightens the coil b from the end b<1> and causes it to clutch the drum a to prevent any movement. The device may, however, be rotated in either direction by operation of the handled. Movement of the sleeve c is limited by a stud e<6> moving in the recess e<4> in the fixed casing e.

Patent GB-190523257-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in & relating to Speed Indicators or Alarms for use on Motor Cars, Bicycles, Engines or the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR ROBERT
Filed: 1905-11-13
Granted: 1906-11-13
Abstract: 23,257. Taylor, R. Nov. 13. Speed indicators.-In speed indicators of the alarm type, which give an alarm only when a predetermined speed is reached, a revolving weight, at low speeds, is kept out of action by a larger weight, a spring, or other retarding means, but at the predetermined speed, this larger weight &c. is put out of action by meeting a stop or the like, and the revolving weight then comes into contact with a resonating member or a secondary striker imping- ing on the resonating member. Several forms are described, that shown in Fig. 1 consisting of a revolving tube T, to which is attached a second tube G carrying a small plunger P limited in its movement by a wire loop D. The plunger P is attached by a flexible cord E to a weight W adjusted by adding shot or pieces of wire. The striker may impinge on a projection of the bell B or on a spring-controlled secondary striker S. The weight W may be replaced by a spring 1 attached by a cord to a comparatively large weight 4 moving in an adjustable tube 5 closed at the end. The spring may be arranged horizontally as shown in Fig. IV, the weight moving outwards until it reaches a stop E. In this case, the secondary striker is a spring-controlled bell-crank' H. In another modification, the plunger P is connected to a vertical flat spring pivoted at the base of the tube. The restraining-weight is secured to an arm fixed at right-angles to the spring At a given speed, the restraining-weight causes the spring to abut against a set-screw above the arm. The plunger then acts under the influence of this shortened spring. Fig. II shows a modification in which the striker P is carried on the end of a spring W pivoted at C to a revolving shaft T. The spring W moves in a slide D and is adjusted by a screw passing through the shaft Tor by a flexible cord U and nut R. An alarm is given when the end P impinges on the secondary striker S. The cord may be replaced by a rod. The position of the striker S is adjusted by moving the slotted arm A by means of the screw V. A pointer Q may be attached to the nut and used for graduating for different speeds, and a spring clip may be attached to the nut I to hold the nut R in different positions. The resonating member may be slotted, so as to allow another secondary striker to pass through and act upon a second resonating member.

A second binding-strip 11 is threaded through the blades below the first strip 5, and is twisted either in one or in two spaces between the blades as shown. By this means an expanding joint is obtained suitable for placing between groups of blades.

Abstract: 26,630. Fink, F. Nov. 23. Cleaning pipes and tubes.-Both ends of the tube to be cleaned are connected with a device for reversing the flow of a propelling - fluid, by which a cleaning-tool is driven to and fro in the tube and the dirt washed out. Fig. 1 shows a suitable automatic reversing-device. This consists of a casing divided into two chambers b, c by a fixed partition a. The fluid is supplied through pipes k, m, l, i, and discharge openings 1, 2, y, z are provided. Disks n, s, rigidly connected together, are slidably disposed in the chambers b, c, as shown. The disks o, r, n, s respectively serve to open and close the branch pipes i, k and openings 1, 2. Disks t, u, on opposite sides of the partition a and connected therethrough by a rod v, respectively serve to open and close the branch l and opening y, and branch m and opening . Slidable pins w, x are disposed in the connexions of the disks n, o, p and q, r, s. In the position shown, the fluid, which enters by the pipe k, flows through the connecting- pipe g and tube to be cleaned, and escapes through the opening 1, is about to drive the brush 4 against the pin w, whereby the disks t, u will operate to close the branch l and opening z, and open the branch m and opening y. Fluid, entering through the branch m acting on the disk q, operates the. disks r, n, o, s to close the branch k and opening 1, and open the branch i and opening 2. Fluid then enters by the branch i and escapes by the opening 2, driving the brush 4 back through the tube to be cleaned till it strikes the pin x and returns the parts to the position shown.
