Patent GB-190125306-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Raising Liquids by Means of Steam or Compressed Air
Inventor: SCHOLL ALBERT
Filed: 1901-12-11
Granted: 1902-01-23
Abstract: 25,306. Scholl, A. Dec. 11. Direct air or steam pressure apparatus.-Relates to apparatus in which the operation is controlled by a column of liquid forced up a pipe 17. The pressure-fluid supply valve 40 is carried by a plate 41, the weight of which normally keeps the valve closed. On the entering liquid rising into the chamber 48, the air therein is compressed, thus raising the plate 41 and causing it to close the chamber 58 at the end of the pipe 17 and open the valve 40. The excess of pressure below the plate 41 due to the liquid in the pipe 17 holds the valve open until, on the completion of the discharge, the liquid level falls below the bottom of the pipe 17, and allows the liquid column therein to collapse. In a modification, the plate 41 is replaced by a flexible diaphragm, and the valve 40 is weighted. During the filling of the chamber, communication is allowed between the pipe 17 and the chamber 48 through a non-return valve. The apparatus is applicable for raising acids, sewage, &c.

Patent GB-190210853-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Process of Roasting or Calcining Raw Materials from which Portland Cement and Cements of a similar Character are Manufactured, Ores and Minerals, and in the Kilns or Furnaces used in the Process.
Inventor: WILLIAMS MAXWELL
Filed: 1902-05-12
Granted: 1903-04-09
Abstract: 10,853. Williams, M. May 12. Separating or sorting ores, cements, &c.-Relates to a method of roasting or calcining cementmaking matorials, ores, and minerals in a crashed or powdered condition, by utilizing the incoming gaseous or finely-divided liquid or solid fuel, with air or steam, to blow it through the furnace or kiln, to mix and agitate it, and if necessary grade or sort it, so that the more finely-divided burnt material is removed from the furnace or kiln, while the less finely-divided, imperfectly - burnt portions are retained. Fig. 1 shows in sectional elevation a furnace or kiln adapted for burning gaseous fuel, the central portion being removed and the two ends brought close together. It consists of several superposed chambers through which the material passes in succession, though a single chamber may be employed, or any suitable arrangement of chambers may be adopted. The floors of the various chambers are formed of blocks with ridge-like projections, between which are passages c for the supply of gaseous fuel, the openings of these passages being so directed that -the material is blown upwards and also laterally towards the outlet of the chamber, being at the same time turned over and intimately mixed with the burning gases. Alternate passages in the floor may serve for the supply of air, or the air may be delivered downwards from between gills or blocks g in the roof, which may be hollow for the passage of the air ; or it may issue through openings r in the side walls immediately beneath the roof. The fuel may, however, be introduced through the roof and the air through the floor, and any other suitable gas or steam may be delivered in the same way. For grading the partly-burnt material, an adjustable bridge wall p is provided, over which the lighter completely-burnt particles are blown to the outlet k, while the heavier particles fall through the opening q to another chamber for further treatment. The entrance to the last chamber is shown provided with a movable block p<1>, which, in the position shown, shuts off the chamber and opens an outlet direct from the preceding chamber.

Patent GB-190222090-A (GB)
Title: Improvements connected with Addressing Attachments for Printing Machines.
Inventor: BRYAN JOSEPH PETER
Filed: 1902-10-10
Granted: 1903-10-10
Abstract: 22,090. Bryan, J. P. Oct. 10. Addressing - ma - chines; platen presses.-Relates to a d ress-printing attachments for printing-presses such as are described in Specification No. 25,280, A.D. 1901. Fig. 1 shows the ratchetwheel 1, on the shaft of the sprocket-wheel 7 of the chain carrying the address-printing blocks. A spring pawl 5 on an arm 6 engages notches 4 in a recess 2 of the wheel, and locks the wheel during the time each printing-block is in position on the forme during printing. The pawl 5 is disengaged, at each operation of the wheel, by the feed-pawl 10, by a cam-piece 8 on an extension of the pawl arm 9. After the pawl 10 is disengaged by the plate 13 engaging its extension 12, it moves on to operate a lever 14 carrying one or more claws 15 by which the printing-blocks are removed from the chain. Fig. 3 shows means for feeding the printing-blocks from the hopper 16 to the endless chain 23. The hopper 16 and its frame 17 has a reciprocating movement over a stationary slide 18 having two pairs of ribs 20, 21. When the frame 17 moves to the right, the pile of blocks falls, so that the bottom one rests on the ribs 21, and when the frame moves back, the ribs 20 engage and support the rest of the pile while the bottom block is pushed off the ribs 21 and falls on to the endless band. The slide 18 may be reciprocated instead of the hopper and its frame 17. Fig. 5 shows a means for stopping the feed of the addressing-chain and blocks, to obtain repeat impressions of any address, and also when the impression is thrown off. The impression is thrown off by the usual eccentric shaft 35 operated by the arm 34, and a rod 33, which is connected to an arm on the shaft 32<b>, having a slotted arm 32 engaged by a pin 31 on a crank-arm 30 on a shaft 27, operated by the arm 26, rod 25, and lever 24. On the shaft 35 is loosely mounted an arm 36 having a spring trip, which stops the engagement of the feed-pawl 10 with its ratchet-wheel 1 when the arm 36 is raised. The arm 36 may be raised by hand to stop the feed for repeats, a spring pin 40 being provided on the arm to engage a hole 41 in the shaft 35 to hold the arm in raised position. The arm 36 is also raised when the lever 24 is operated to throw off the impression, by means of a stud 38 on the shaft 35 engaging in a slot 39 in the arm. The feed of the blocks from the hopper 16 is stopped at the same time, by the raising of the slotted arm 28, which normally engages a pin 29 on the slide 18 and holds it stationary. This is effected by a chain connecting the arm 28 to a projection 43 on the boss of the arm 36.

Abstract: 27,572. Robertson, A. Dec. 15. Cabin and deck lights.-Relates to means for operating hinged windows for ships &c., and wedging-devices for pressing the windows against the frames, when closed, to make the joints weathertight. A hollow screw E, formed with internal and external threads, works on a screw D pivoted to the frame C, and through a nut F, which is pivoted between crank-arms G carried by spindles H pivoted to the window A. Projections 1 at the ends of the spindles H engage with notched bars K, which are arranged to slide in guides of the sash stiles, and are formed with inclined projections L adapted to slide on inclined surfaces of fixed brackets M, and thus wedge the window against the frame. In closing the window by means of a handle E<1> at the end of the screw E, a rounded projection M<1> at the lower end of each bar K rides on a rounded surface of the bracket M until the window is closed. Further movement of the operating-mechanism causes the bars to slide down in the guide-brackets M. In a modification, the bars K slide in guides of the fixed frame, and the sash stiles are formed with inclined projections against which the inclined surfaces of the bars bear.

Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 23,065. Laforet, J. Oct. 24. Looms, checking shuttles in; pickers.-To prevent the shuttle from rebounding when it enters its box, short and long tumbler levers C, D, respectively, are pivoted on the same axis R, and are provided at their lower sides with enlargements. An escapement piece E, which may be of adjustable length, is pivoted at F on a support G, and is provided with blades H, I with bent ends which bear upon the levers C, D. The blade I is hinged and its bent end is pressed against the lever D by a spring J, its upward movement being limited by a regulating-screw K. When the shuttle L enters the box, it raises the lever D, which acts through the blade I to turn the piece E. As the shuttle advances, it meets the enlargement on the lever C, which is thus raised, and acts though the blade H on the piece E, causing it to press the blade I against the lever D. The shuttle is thus blocked between the enlargements on the levers C, D, and cannot return until acted upon by the picker which slides in a slot M. The picker is preferably made of a number of thin strips of wood glued together, and then cut out in the usual form.
