Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 2265. Geuze, L. Oct. 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Elevators; t i p - ping apparatus.- In blast furnaces having either a central or a lateral gas discharge, the extent of the fall of the charge is reduced by carrying the trucks on a hoisting-carriage which is tipped with the truck at the furnace mouth, and a more uniform distribution of the charges is insured by effecting a stepby-atep rotation of the hopper after successive trucks have been discharged d into it. The truck c, Fig.1, is secured by a catch z to the hoisting-carriage b, which is hauled by a cable along an inclined plane a having two lines of rails of different gauges. At the upper part of the plane, the front wheels of the carriage roll upon the inner set of rails, bent over as shown, while the back wheels continue to run upon the straight rails, so that the carriage is inclined and the truck c discharges into the hopper d. The hopper and cone revolve about the vertical axis of the furnace, and are mounted with ball or roller bearings i<1>, f upon circular rails. The intermittent circular movement of the hopper and cone is obtained from the pinion h, which is driven, as shown, by the pulley g; the bevel-wheel is mounted with pawl-and-ratchet connexion, and revolves only during the descent of the carriage b.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Printing.
Inventor: MANLY THOMAS
Filed: 1905-08-22
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 17,007. Manly, T. Aug. 22. Chromo-gelatinprocesses; printing; photo-mechanical printing.-Relates to the production of pigment prints from developed silver prints, either upon the silver print itself as a support, or by causing a pigmented film to take an impression of the silver print and transferring the pigment print to another support. The method employed in the latter case is applicable for collotype negatives. The pigmenting-bath used contains potassium or other alkali bichromate, ferricyanide, and bromide or chloride, together with aluminium alum and citric acid. The silver print and sensitized tissue are squeezed together and kept between blotting- paper for 20 or 30 minutes until ready for development. When the silver print is to support the pigment print, it is. developed with hot water and the original support stripped. Otherwise, they are plunged into cold water and separated again, and the pigment print developed and transferred to another support. The silver print in this case can be washed and re-developed and used again. Alternatively, when the silver print is used as a support, it may be directly coated with a pigmented film using the above sensitizing-bath.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Miners' Safety Lamps
Inventor: PHILLIPS Thomas
Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 19,567. Phillips, T. Sept. 28. Miners' safety lamps.- Relates to means for lifting up the lamp into o places out of ordinary reach, for sustaining the flame when the lamp is surrounded by a vitiated atmosphere, for extinguishing the lamp at will, and for abstracting gas from shot holes and testing it by introducing it into the lamp. The reservoir is fitted with a tube H having a wire-gauze P and a screw head E. A pole B has a top knob C adapted to be screwed on to the fitting E, and is provided with a tube F, the end K of which is adapted to receive an inflater L. This inflater L may also be screwed directly in the fitting E. By gently squeezing the inflater L, the flame may be kept alight for a certain time in a vitiated atmosphere; a sudden compression of the inflater will extinguish the flame. For testing gas in a shot hole, the end C ot the pole is introduced in the hole, a sample of gas sucked into the inflater, the pole quickly screwed on to the fitting E, and the gas pressed out on to the flame. Specification No. 8500, A.D. 1884, [Abridgment Class Mining &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 23,379. Smith, H. C. Nov. 14. Supporting lamps.- A pendant is supported as shown in Fig. 3 by two cords c, c<1> passing at right-angles through V-shaped holes in a block d of wood or other material, allowing the light to be directed at any desired angle. The V-shaped cord-holes d', shown in Fig. 6, allow the cords to slip when the pendant is tilted by hand, but prevent them from slipping back in any position throughout the whole range of adjustment. Another hole is provided for the conductors, by which, or bv a bracket, the block is supported. The leads may be knotted, or may be held by a clip f as shown. The cord-ends are attached to the shade-holder, through slots g<1> in which they are passed. This allows a cord c<1>, which has not been moved through the block, to be shifted to the ends of the slots and so to compensate for the decreased angle between the portions of the adjusted cord c as shown in Fig. 3.
