Title: Improvements in and relating to Weighing Machines.
Inventor: SCHEMBER KARL AUGUST
Filed: 1905-08-23
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 17,078. Schember, K. A., and Schember, A., (trading as Schember & S÷hne, C.], and Michel, A. Aug. 23. Compound-lever apparatus; indicating and registering mechanism; printing-devices; weights, method of using.-Relates to a platform weighing-machine in which the pointer 9 is fixed to a frame 10 while a scale 1 oscillates and is attached by the arm 2 to a beam 8. The latter is connected by a rod 3 to a lever 4 coupled by a rod 5 to the transfer lever 6, which is attached to the weigh-bridge 7. The centre of oscillation of the lever 4 coincides with its centre of gravity, so that it rests in any position. This lever carries knife-edges 33 which pick up weights 25 carried by a frame 29. The frame is attached to a pivoted lever 28 connected by a link and frame 27 to a lever 26 on which the bearing of the transfer lever. 6 is supported. The motion of the platform 7 under a load depresses the rod 5 and brings the oscillating scale into position. Motion of the lever 26 and frame 27 also takes place, so that, if the load is greater than that which the oscillating scale can indicate, the frame 27 picks up one or more of the weights 31 and depresses the frame 29 through the medium of the lever 28. The weights 31 thus serve merely to regulate the fall of the frame 29. The lever 28 is connected by transmission gearing 35 with a scale 11 which indicates weights corresponding to those carried by the frame 29. A vernier may be attached to the frame 10. The printing takes place only on a small part of the scale, and the printing-frame 10 is operated by means of the lever 15, which acts on a carrier fast on the shaft 14. The carrier moves a cam-disk which operates a lever 16 and thereby a rod 17 which, by means of a bell-crank lever and spring, acts on an arm and rod connected to the printing-frame. The paper is fed forward through the medium of a rod 24 and carrier 23. A lever connected to the levers 6, 26 operates counting-mechanism, which comprises a counting-train, hooks, and a counterweighted lever, the counting being effected only when the load is removed.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Reducing Valves.
Inventor: HUEBNER JOSEF
Filed: 1905-09-09
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 18,266. H³bner, J., and Mayer, I. Sept. 9. Pressure - r e g ulating valves; tubular v a l v e s.-Relates to reducing- valves of the pistoncontrolled type, and consists in arranging a suitable baffle-plate on the valve so that the fluid pressure thereon counteracts the dynamic back pressure on the piston. This dynamic pressure, unless counteracted, has the effect of preventing the valve from opening to a sufficient extent. A tubular valve b, Fig. 1, the upper part of which forms the controlling-piston, is weight loaded in the usual manner, and carries a lift valve e which effects a complete closure when the consumption of steam falls to zero. A baffle-plate or " diverting organ " f is screwed on to an extension of the valve e, and carries ribs which engage with guides in the casing. The plate f is adjusted in height by disconnecting the weight lever and turning the valve b by the supporting-bracket of the released lever. The action of the steam on the part f is a downward thrust, due to the diverting of the fluid, as shown by the arrows, thereby compensating for the upward thrust on the piston g due to the diverting of the flowing fluid in a downward direction. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the baffle-plate f is screwed into the tubular valve. Part of the steam only is diverted in this case, as some flows between the plate and the cone k. The proportion diverted may be varied by raising or lowering the plate f, the dimensions of the cone being such that the total area of flow is constant. In the Provisional Specification the invention is shown applied to a double-beat lift valve actuated by a piston or diaphragm.

Abstract: 21,949. Digby, W. P. Oct. 28. Hypochlorites, obtaining. - The decomposition products at the anode d and cathode c, Fig. 1, are isolated from the main body of the electrolyte, e,g. by porous casings e closely surrounding the electrodes, and the product from one electrode is conveyed into the casing enclosing the other, whereby the hypochlorite formation takes place away from the main body of the electrolyte. In a bipolar-electrode arrangement, Fig. 4, the main electrolyte is circulated outside the casings e by pipes l, l<1>. Water or weak caustic soda, supplied to the end cathode casing by a pipe p, flows by way of a pipe o to the next anode casing, then to the cathode face of the bipolar electrode m, and so on. In another arrangement, a mercury cathode is employed, the amalgam formed being removed to a separate chamber and washed to form an alkaline solution which is fed to the anode casing. When desired, hollow electrodes may be used and cooled by expanding compressed gases, such as ammonia, in them. The casings e are of asbestos or the like faced on each side with slotted plates of ebonite, the slots in one plate being perpendicular to those in the other.

Title: An Improved Method of and Machine for Copying Photographs Pictures and the like.
Inventor: CLARKE EDWARD RUSSELL
Filed: 1905-12-02
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 25,040. Clarke, E. R. Jan. 3, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Pictures; drawing-appliances.-Relates to a method of and means for reproducing photographs, pictures, &c. in monochrome or natural colours. The tones are reproduced by ruled lines varying in thickness according to the depth of tone, the variation being determined by a relief copy controlling the pen either directly or through a stylus and connexions. In the machine shown in Fig. 3, the paper and relief are disposed side by side on a bed a reciprocated under a pen and a stylus h moved transversely step by step. The bed a is actuated from the driving - wheel d through a connecting-rod e, crank f, sector c, and rack. The pen and stylus are mounted at the ends of a lever k pivoted in a bracket l and acted upon by a spring tending to lift the pen. The bracket l slides freely on a transverse bar m, and is threaded on a feed-screw o supported by brackets n on the bar m. The bar m is movable vertically by means of grooved cams r, s, to lift the pen during the return movement of the bed. The screw o is actuated during the movement of the bar m, by means of a ratchet-wheel p on the screw and a pawl q on the framing. Instead of one pen and stylus, there may be a large number, one hundred to the inch or more, and they may be staggered twenty or even fifty deep. The pens may move over the paper, instead of the paper moving under the pens. In colour work, e.g. three-colour reproduction, the paper is swept under three banks of pens controlled by three different reliefs and charged with three different inks, in three directions at angles of 120 degrees to one another. The pen used may be a capillary tube charged with ink, the flow being controlled mechanically or electrically as in a siphon recorder.

Title: Improved Tube Cutter.
Inventor: HADDON ISAAC JOHN
Filed: 1905-12-07
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 25,453. Haddon, I. J. Dec. 7. Internal pipe cutters. - A tube cutter which may be used for cutting and thereby facilitating the removal of a damaged boiler tube has a carrier a of smaller diameter than a tube b to be cut, a block c carrying a bevel-edged disk c<1> and working in a slot a<1>, and a spindle d one end of which is turned to three reduced diameters d<1>, d<2>, d<3>, two of which are eccentric to the axis of the spindle. The carrier a has a hole a', a<4> and a smaller concentric hole a<2> bored in it, the axes of which are parallel to the axis of the carrier. The spindle d passes through the hole a<3>, a<4>, and its reduced concentric end d<2> fits the hole a<2>. The block c has a recess c<3> into which the eccentric portion d<1> fits. The spindle is supported in the tube by disks e<1>, e<2>, which are retained together by a nut d<4>. The rotation of the carrier a relatively to the disk e<1> may be prevented by inserting a pin f through a hole in the disk c<1> into a hole in the carrier a. The opposite end d<5> of the spindle d is squared for the reception of a wrench to rotate the tool. In use, when the spindle is rotated, the cutting- disk will be moved into contact with the tube due to the eccentricity of the portion d<1>. If the parts e<1>, a are prevented from rotating relatively by the pin f, the frictional contact of the edge of the disk e<1> with the tube causes the cutting-edge of the cutter to penetrate the side of the tube, and, on further rotation, the pin f being removed, to sever the tube. On reversing the direction of rotation, the cutter is drawn towards the centre of the tube. The edge of the cutting-disk may be toothed, and a non-revolving cutter may be used.

Title: An Improved Process of Manufacturing Alkaline Bicarbonates and Carbonic Acid therefrom.
Inventor: BEHRENS JOHANN GOTTLIEB
Filed: 1906-04-28
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 10,008. Behrens, J. G. April 28. Alkali bicarbonates carbonic acid.-Alkali bicarbonates are obtained by treating anhydrous monocarbonates with a gaseous mixture containing equimolecular quantities of carbonic acid and steam, the process being carried out under high pressures and corresponding temperatures. The exhaust gases from a suction-gas or generator-gas motor form a convenient gaseous mixture for the purpose, as they contain carbonic acid and steam in the requisite proportions, and in addition contain a large percentage of nitrogen, which prevents condensation of the steam when pressure is applied. The process may be carried out by placing the carbonate in long tubes and passing the gases in under the pressure requisite to cause combination, while the tubes are externally heated. When the pressure is reduced, the bicarbonate is decomposed, setting free carbonic acid and water; the water is removed and the carbonic acid is liquefied.

The central disk d comprises a circular or polygonal plate or two dished plates secured d together at their outer edges, is fixed to the hub by bolts L, and, for lightness, may have parts cut away. The disk carries double brackets S holding solid or hollow rubber rings h or pneumatic tubes, which, by bearing in boxes B, B<1> on two annular plates C, support these plates and the rim of the wheel. The annular plates are connected together by two series of bolts with distance - pieces R. The inner series of bolts pass throngh holes T in the central disk which are large enough to allow considerable relative motion of the disk and annular plates, this motion being limited by channels E filled with rubber rings on the disk. Balls K arranged in the boxes B, B<1> make this relative motion smooth and give lateral stability to the wheel ; if necessary, extra boxes B<2> containing balls may be used. Instead of the rubber rings or the like h, radially-arranged conical metal springs may be used. The rim is in halves, one of which is integral with an annular cheek, while the other is detachable. The tyre may comprise a rubber ring or a series of wooden, cardboard, or like blocks P of slightly dovetail section held by bolts L and by projections S' in the rim. These blocks may be connected together by screws or staples countersunk in the rim, and may have nails or screws in them to prevent wear and slipping.
