Patent GB-190314335-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in connection with the Generation of Gas from Petroleum Oils, for General purposes, particularly for use with Burners for Steam Generation and like purposes.
Inventor: BRIDSON EDWARD RIDGWAY
Filed: 1903-06-27
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 14,335. Bridson, E. R. June 27. Pressure-regulating valves.-In an apparatus for generating gas or vapour from petroleum oils, the passage of oil from the pump to the vaporizing- coil is controlled by a valve f, Fig. 2, which is carried by a diaphragm g. When the pressure in the coil becomes excessive, the diaphragm is raised by the pressure set up by the pump, against the action of the spring h, and a passage i is opened so that some of the oil passes back to the oil tank. The pressure of the spring is regulated by a cap v. A similar regulator is employed to control the supply of gas from the coil to the burner employed in heating the coil. A pin valve o, Fig. 3, normally extends across the supply pipe and permits a free flow of gas, but, should the pressure in the coil become excessive, a larger part p of the valve is drawn across the pipe, thereby diminishing the supply.

Granted: 1904-05-26
Abstract: 17,353. Girlot, J. Dec. 24, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Welding; working by electricity.-In the manufacture of chain rings or links, each ring or link is made in the form of a spirally-rolled bar, resembling an opened-out key-ring, and is then entwined in a finished link of the chain and welded. In one form of apparatus for performing the entwining and welding, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the link E rests on a rotating shaft B. A rotating shaft A carries a fixed collar D and a spring.controlled sliding sleeve C, adapted to receive a reciprocating motion through a lever and tappet-wheel. The shafts A, B impart a rotary motion to the link E, which is thereby threaded or entwined in the finished links M, N, and the reciprocating sleeve C serves to weld and finish the link. Before or during these operations, the apparatus may be lowered so as to immerse the lower part of the ring in an electric bath, such as is described in Specification No. 1961, A.D. 1902. In another arrangement, shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the link E is guided and rotated by means of rollers I. Two rotating shafts R, R' are arranged transversely to the rollers ; the shaft R serves to forward the link during the entwining process, and the shaft R', which has a reciprocating motion, serves to bring the coils of the link close together. The welding is effected by percussion devices P, the shafts R, R<1> being withdrawn previous to the welding-operation. The stamps P may be formed to give a circular section to the link.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Blow-testing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1903-08-27
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 18,478. Boult, A. J., [Mills, H. S.]. Aug. 27. Dynamometers.-The force of an impact, such as a fist-blow, is transmitted pneumatically to coinfreed registering-mechanism. On a frame B, Fig. 6, supported by a standard and wall-stays, and provided with a buffer spring B<2>, is a cup-shaped air chamber formed by the wood ring f<2>, and covered by diaphragms of rubber f<3> and felt f<4>, horsehair packing f<5>, and a leather cover f<6>, to receive the blow, attached by a ring f<7>. The elbow-bend C is closed above by a diaphragm C<2>, which forces flat plates l, l<1> and their respective bars E, H<2>, Fig. 4, upwards when a sharp blow is struck, steady pressure on the receiving-surface C<1> merely causing escape of air through a small aperture p. Movement of the bar H<2> about the centre d' raises the shouldered latch and frees the pin d<2> of the lever H, which then rotates slightly by its weight counter-clockwise and allows the spring k to pull the detent G into gear with the ratchetwheel D. Simultaneously, the pin g<3> on the rod E has struck the pin g and thereby given the wheel an impulse to rotate against the spring-held rope I' wound around the axle, the extent of motion of the index hand D<2> on the shaft D' being thus a function of the blow. The motion of the pin g<1> having freed the detent E', the shoulder g<4> is engaged thereby, and the bar E upheld until, at the next use of the machine, a coin falling down the shoot J strikes the cam-surface m of the lever H, which frees the detent G and is held by the latch. The spring I then rotates the wheel D to the zero position defined by the pin c and stop F, the detent E<1> being simultaneously thrown out of gear so that the bar E falls.

Abstract: 21,287. Dejey, J. A. Oct. 3. Printing-surfaces; etching.-Relates to the production of designs on rollers or plates for printing fabrics, wall paper, ordinary paper for newspapers, catalogues, post cards, stamps, &c., and for phonograph rolls, gramaphone discs, and the like. The design is first transferred on to the plate or roller in a greasy or other ink which resists washing and forms a thickness on the plate, and is then washed, to remove any trace of gum or size from the transfer paper, and to clean thoroughly the uncovered metal of the plate. A deposit of metal to form an etching resist is then made by electrolysis. Such metal may be lead or tin. If lead is employed, the plate &c. is immersed in a solution of lead acetate, a plate of lead being used as an anode. When tin is employed, a heated bath of sodium pyro-phosphate and tin proto-chloride may be used. The ink of the design is then removed by a suitable solvent, and the plate &c. is etched by an acid or liquid which does not attack the lead or tin but only the copper, brass, or zinc, &c. of which the plate &c. is formed. The cyanides of copper and potassium, chromic acid, and the like may be used with or without an electric current.
