Patent GB-190524397-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Presses.
Inventor: LEEMING JAMES
Filed: 1905-11-25
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 24,397. Leeming, J., and Greenhalgh, A. Nov. 25. Hydraulic presses. -A series of valves are placed between the main and the hydraulic press, and so arranged that after the water is once turned on to the intensifier, the press cylinder is first filled at the initial pressure, then the pressure is raised to the normal or main pressure, and finally is raised to the maximum pressure, all these steps being performed automatically and without any water being run to waste from the intensifier. Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation of the arrangement. Valves e, f are operated by hydraulic plungers a', b<1> for directing the water from the main i to the intensifier g or press h. Water flows from the main i through the valves in the casing j and into the smaller ram k of the intensifier, so forcing water from the intensifier g, through the valves in the casing m, into the press cylinder h to fill up the press, and at the same time to raise the pressure in it. The water then actuates the plunger a' and thus the valve e, so turning the pressure in the main on to the large ram l of the intensifier through the valves in the casing n, and simultaneously raising the pressure in the pressure cylinder to that in the main. The pressure on the large ram of the intensifier causes a greater pressure in the small ram k, and the pressure in the ram cylinder causes the valve f to open through the plunger b<1> so that the water at the intensified pressure can pass through the valve f and the valves in the casing o to the cylinder h. When the press ram h' has been released by running out the water from the cylinder and the releasing- stop has been closed and the pressure stop opened, the intensified pressure falls, and with it the pressure generating it. Both the valves e, f being closed, the water in the main is allowed to flow as at first. The rods a<1>, b<1> are lowered by weighted levers or springs. The valve f is provided with a bypass f<1>, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, to allow of easy opening of the valve against the intensified pressure. A disclaiming reference is made to Specification No. 13,421, A.D. 1894.

Title: Improvements in Combined Whistling, Bell and Lighting Buoys
Inventor: WILLSON THOMAS LEOPOLD
Filed: 1905-12-07
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 25,494. Willson, T. L. Dec. 7. Signals, marine.-In buoys moored for signalling purposes, the structure is designed to offer a minimum resistance to the water and to enable it to withstand the various shocks. The arrangement of the gascontaining tubes for lighting and whistle purposes and also the operation of a submerged bell ringing mechanism is described. The relation of aircompressor tubes H, I for operating the whistle G of the submerged bell J, operated by the waves, and of the gas-generating apparatus A, to which is attached a purifier for the lamp F, with respect to the body of the buoy C is shown in Fig. 1. The chain to the tubes H, I is arranged so that a minimum surface is exposed to the current. The buoy itself is made in two sections B, C, and a protective rail N runs round the joint. The bellringing apparatus is shown enlarged in Fig. 4. The tube J contains a piston S which oscillates under the wave action, the force of its stroke being increased by the construction of the tube shown. The revolution of the wheel c in either direction causes the arms d to push over the lever e, which is returned by the spring f.

Title: A Method of Affixing Gold &/or Coloured Transfers
Inventor: DARMSTAEDTER GERHARD
Filed: 1906-01-19
Granted: 1907-01-19
Abstract: 1450. Darmstaedter, G. Jan. 19. No Patent granted (Sealingfeenotpaid). Transferring designs; transfers.-In the preparation of transfers, a medium consisting of linseed oil, soda, waterglass, colsfonium, and litho-varnish is mixed with the ink employed in the various successive printings. In the case of single-coloured transfers, three superposed impressions are made, the previous impressions having been allowed to dry. The transfers thus produced are over-printed with litho-varnish mixed with a solution of resin in boiled linseed oil, waterglass, and soda. The designs are transferred to the surfaces of glass, flowers, metal, wood, &c. by covering the transfer with a sheet of blotting-paper saturated with methylated spirit, applying the transfer to the article, and pressing it flat preferably with a rubber roller. The paper backing is then moistened with water and peeled off.

Title: Improvements in Diffusimeters
Filed: 1906-03-13
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 6058. Pastorelli & Rapkin, Rapkin, R. H. D., and Wilson, A. D. March 13. Pipes, indicating leakages in.-Relates to diffusimeters or instruments for detecting the presence of gases foreign to the atmosphere, especially for indicating leakage of gas from mains, the'apparatus described being also applicable as a manometer. The instrument is of cylinidrical form and is provided with a dial 1 and pointer 2 connected to a pulley 3, which is actuated by a flexible metal diaphragm 26 through the medium of a chain 31, link 30, regulator 20, links 23, 24, spring 25, and rod 27. The dial is protected by glass 4 let into a revolving bezel 5. A sleeve 7 provided with perforations 8 surrounds the lower part of the chamber, which is terminated by a perforated cap 13 for protecting a porous diaphragm 14. Inside the pressure chamber 15 is a strong spiral spring 16 which keeps a disk valve 10 closed against its seating. By rotation of the sleeve 7, the disk valve is opened by the engagement of the edge of one of the perforations 8 with its stem, so that air is freely admitted and flushes the chamber. At the opposite side of the chamber is an opening closed by a screw plug, which is removed and replaced by a nipple when the apparatus is to be used as a manometer. A U-spring 25 which transmits the movement of the diaphragm 26 is mounted on a spring plate 19 carrying the usual regulator 20 and terminating in a projecting tongue 21, which bears on the sloping loweredge 22 of a lining. By rotation of the bezel within limits set by stops 33, the regulator 20 is raised or depressed and the zero position of the index 2 altered. The slack of the chain 31 is taken up by a hair-spring 32.

Abstract: 1595. Douge, J. Jan. 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Solvent-recovery apparatus; vapours, treating.- Volatile solvents are recovered from the air of work rooms in the manufacture of artificial silk, celluloid, smokeless powder, india-rubber, and the like by first separating the bulk of the air and water vapour by a mechanical separator and then treating the enriched vapours by the ordinary methods, such as refrigeration, absorption, and subsequent distillation, &c. The air and water vapour are preferably separated by centrifugal action or by a series of stoppages in the passage of the mixture through a tube. The invention is particularly described with reference to the manufacture of artificial silk. The machines A are provided wlth pipes a, b, c leading to separators B, also acting as aspirators, which deliver the air and water vapour by pipes c' into the workroom or into the atmosphere outside ; the solvent vapours are then passed through pipes d, f to another separator C, from which the solvent vapours, still further concentrated, are carried to ordinary recovering-apparatus. There may be any number of successive concentrations, and more than one final separator C may be used.

Abstract: 20,397. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 12. Switches.-In a motor controller, the armature of a retaining-magnet is adjustably mounted on the controlling-member so that this may be locked in any predetermined position. The starting-resistance 12 is connected to studs 11, and the field resistance 14 to studs 13. The armature 20 of the electro-magnet 21 is pivoted to a curved slotted bracket 22, which is secured by a stud or bolt 24 to the lever 15. By adjusting the position of the armature 20 relatively to the lever 15, the final 'on' position of the lever may be varied, thereby varying the motor speed. A key may be used to loosen the stud 24, to adjust the armature so that the motor speed is beyond the control of the operator. The arm is released from the' on' position by short-circuiting the electro-magnet 21, and a spring 17 returns it to the 'off' position. The operating-handle may be fixed on the head of the stud 24, so that, by slightly turning the handle, the controlling-lever may be freed for adjustment to a desired position, in which it may be locked by tightening the stud.
