Patent GB-190909162-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Machine for Automatically Indicating, and Facilitating the Removal of, Lumps, Bunches of Fibre, or other Inequalities of Size in Binder Twine.
Inventor: DONAGHY JOSEPH FRANCIS
IPC: B65H63/06
Filed: 1909-04-17
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 9162. Donaghy, J. F. April 17. Inequalities, detecting and removing.-In order to facilitate the finding and removal of lumps, bunches of fibre, and other irregularities in twine for use in reapers and binders, the twine preparatory to being balled, is passed through a die having a hole of the requisite size, as it is wound off one reel on to another. The reel A, Fig. 5, from which the twine is wound, is mounted on a spindle P<2> carried by brackets Q on a frame A<1>. The spindle is pivoted at one end about a vertical pin P', and is secured at the other end by an easily removable pin engaging holes in the spindle and bracket. The twine passes through a hole in the die J, Fig. 4, which is mounted on a vertically reciprocating bar K, and which lays the twine on a bobbin mounted on the carrier C and frictionally driven thereby. The rod K is reciprocated by a chain Z, which is wound round a roller or disk Y. This disk is rotated by a second chain V, attached to a pivoted lever U rocked by a heart-cam S. Any lump on the twine is held by the die J, causing the corresponding reel to stop rotating. Overrunning of the twine from the reel A is prevented by an arm M controlled by a spring N.

Title: Improvements in Car Coupling Mechanism.
Inventor: WILLISON JOHN
IPC: B61G5/04
Filed: 1909-05-07
Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 10,855. Willison, J. May 7. Couplings, automatic, conventible to non-automatic.-Means operated from the side of the vehicle are provided for raising automatic coupler heads to disclose the ordinary draw-hook for connexion to link couplings, locking - devices being provided for retaining the coupler head in its raised and lowered positions. The coupler head 12, pivoted at 12<1> to the draw-hook 10, is provided with a pair of rearwardly-extending arms 19 which bear against the underside of the vehicle to support the coupler head when lowered. T h e arms 19 carry a pivot 20 for a three-armed lever 22<1>, 22<2>, 26, the arm 22<1> of which carries a pulley 24. A pair of levers 13 pivoted to the drawhook are connected at their lower ends by a pin 15, which carries two pulleys 16 and a locking-member 18. The coupler head is locked in the operative position, shown in Fig. 3, by shoulders 24<2> which are formed on the inner sides of the arms 19 and engage the links 13 so that the arms 19 cannot be moved until the links have been slightly raised; moreover, the links cannot be raised until a projection 18<1> on the member 18 has been moved clear of a stop 25 on the three-armed lever. The coupler head is raised by means of a cross-shaft 1 and a chain 9, which is connected to the shaft and to the lever arm 22<1> and passes over the pulleys 24, 16. The lever arm 26 by engagement with a lug 26<1> raises the member 18 clear of the stop 25, after which the links 13 are raised sufficiently to allow movement of the arms 19. When the parts assume the positions shown in Fig. 1, the projection 18<1> on the member 18 falls over the pivot 20 and locks the coupler head in the raised position. The coupler head is lowered by raising the member 18 from the pivot 20 by means of a chain 8 wound upon the shaft 1 in the opposite direction to the chain 9, whereupon the parts fall under the action of gravity.

Title: An Improved Process for the Recovery of Valuable Products from Iron Pickling Liquor and Gas Liquor.
Inventor: FALDING FREDERIC JOHN
IPC: C01C1/24
Filed: 1910-05-07
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 11,364. Falding, F. J., and Cathcart, W. R. May 7. Ammonium sulphate and salts. - Iron pickling - liquor is mixed with gas liquor and subjected to the action of an oxidizing-agent, for instance by passing air through. The ferric hydrate is separated from the solution of ammonium salt. Enough iron liquor may first be added to the gas liquor to precipitate compounds of sulphur, cyanogen, and chlorine, whereupon more iron liquor equivalent to the ammonia is added to the purified liquor with oxidation. For the preliminary treatment, oxidation may or may not be employed, and instead of pickling liquor ferrous hydrate or preferably ferric hydrate produced as above may be used.

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 9466. Pauling, H. April 18. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic. - The liquid enters the chamber 1 through a pipe 2 and valve 18, and leaves it by the pipe 3, the compressed air being admitted by a pipe 19 governed by a valve 17 worked automatically by an apparatus balanced on a knife-edge 15 and worked by the air compressed in the tubes 4, 5 of different diameter as the chamber 1 is being filled. The valve-actuating apparatus consists of two vessels 8, 9 containing liquid and connected respectively to the pipes 4, 5, while they are connected together by the pipe 13. More air being chased out from the tube 4 than from the tube 5, liquid passes from the vessel 8 to the vessel 9 which thus moves downwards as shown by the arrow. The air above the liquid in the vessel 1 thus ceases to flow out by the pipe 19, and compressed air enters by the same pipe.

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 20,727. Soc. Franþaise de Chaleur et LumiÞre. Oct. 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Gas fires; grilling- stoves.-In a gas-stove, grill, &c., the radiating- members A, B, which are preferably in the form of rods, are arranged in rows disposed one behind the other from front to back of the stove, and the heating gas-jets e impinge obliquely on them. Preferably the members of one row are staggered with respect to those in the next, and the gas jets are directed into the spaces of the front row. One row is somewhat inclined to the other so as to enclose an upwardly enlarging space in which the combustion is developed, this being assisted by a supply of air admitted at 0 and heated by contact with the members B. The back of the stove is formed by a reflecting or enamelled plate H. The upper ends of the rods A, B are held in plates N, P, which are arranged in different planes to allow a space for the escape of the hot gases. In the case of a grill &c., the rods may be horizontal. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the radiating- members are made of refractory earth, which is pulped, mixed with charcoal or the like, moulded, and baked to remove the charcoal and render the members porous. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
