Patent GB-190418820-A (GB)
Title: Improved Regenerative Incandescent Gas Lamps.
Inventor: NEVEU EDWARD DE
Filed: 1904-08-31
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 18,820. Neveu, E. de. Aug. 31. Incandescent gas lamps.-In order to keep the burner tubes of an inverted incandescent gas lamp cool, and at the same time to increase the heat of the flame, a plate p of any suitable shape is provided on the burner tube b. This plate has holes o which are large enough to allow the passage of a considerable amount of air. A globe holder r may be supported from the platep by arms t. The hot gases rising from the burner are caused to pass outwards by the plate p, and a down-draught of cold air is thus induced through the openings o, which cools the burner tube b and, becoming heated, increases the temperature of the flame.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Photo-printing Apparatus.
Inventor: SHAW LEONARD
Filed: 1904-09-21
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 20,386. Shaw, L. Sept. 21. Printing.-In improvements i n the printing-apparatus described in Specification No. 22,941, A.D. 1902, the feed-rollers and the mechanism for operating the lamp are driven from the same motor. The upper roller for actuating the cover. ing-apron f, Fig. 1, which conducts the negative and printing-paper over the printing-table A, is driven from the motor C through cone drums c', c<3> and worm and toothed gearing c<6>, c<7>. The exposure is determined by the speed of the cone drums, which is regulated by the belt-shifting device E. For regulating the tension of the apron f, one or more of the tension rollers as described in the prior Specification works outwards to take up any slack, while one or more work inwards to exert pressure on the apron, the springs f<1> on the supports being on one side or other of the abutments f<3> accordingly. The apron is kept in vertical adjustment by thickened edges, or beads f<5> which run in grooves f<4> on the rollers. For operating the lamp D, the suspending- cords d<8>, over two sets of pulleys d<9>, are connected to a point d' on an endless pitch chain d<5> running over wheels d<6>, d<4>. The latter wheel d' is driven from the motor through the countershaft c' of the cone drum c', and ordinary pulley and toothed gearing d<1>, d<3>. Alternatively, the lamp is balanced by a weight d<10> which is connected to the point d' on the chain d<5> by a rod d<11>. In another method for effecting the vertical to-and-fro motion, the lamp is suspended from a carrier upon which is mounted a slipper piece working in a revolving shaft formed with right and left handed screw threads which cross each other, the right-hand thread at each end of the shaft running into the left-hand thread. The carrier may be attached to a sheave in the loop of the suspending-cord, and the carrier and sheave may be loaded to serve as counterweights for the lamp.

Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-11-19
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 25,216. Mackenzie, J. W., [Lloyd, J. U.]. Nov. 19. Extracts.-In a process for obtaining extracts and solutions, special heating-means are employed, the solvent may be separated and used over again, and the solvent remaining in the waste may be recovered. In the apparatus shown, each of the three steeping-tanks A, A', A<2> is connected by pipes a', a<2> to the concentrating-vessel B, by pipes d to a common pipe d' connected by pipe D to the condenser E, and by pipes e<2> to a common pipe e<4> also connected to the condenser E. The vessel B is provided with heating-coils C, C', a cooling-coil G, and gauges b, b<1>, and is connected to the condenser by the pipe D. After the steeping process is completed in the tank A<1>, the liquid is passed by the pipe a<2> into the vessel B, and the coil C is heated by steam. The vapour of the solvent passes to the condenser, and is returned as liquid by pipes e<4>, e<2> to one of the steeping-tanks. By using the heating-coil 0 and the cooling-coil G, the body of the liquid is kept cool and deterioration by heat is obviated. The coil C' may be used to obtain a more concentrated extract. By opening cock a<4>, all the liquid in the tank A<1> may be passed into the vessel B. To recover the solvent remaining in the waste, the cock c<7> is opened and steam blown into the tank A<1>, the vapours of the solvent passing into the condenser and back into one of the steeping-tanks.
Patent GB-190425496-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Photographic Hand Cameras.
Filed: 1904-11-23
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 25,496. Houghtons, Ltd., and Dockree, W. Nov. 23. Cameras; shutters.-In the reflector type of hand-camera, the vibration caused by the release of the mirror is prevented by means of a special actuation of the shutter, in which the first action of the shutter covers the lens aperture until the mirror is raised dear of the lens, when the second action of the shutter opens and closes the lens aperture for exposure. The shutter a, Fig. 1, is set by pulling the cord b<2> until the stud b<1> engages the catch c on the plate f pivoted at g. To make an exposure, the stud q on the vertically-sliding plate d is depressed, when the following sequence of actions occurs :-(1) The pin e on the plate d rocks the plate f so as to release the stud b<1> and the shutter a rises until the stud b engages the catch c'. The shutter a thus closes the lens aperture l. (2) The lug m, Fig. 2, on the plate d engages the link t<1>, and raises the mirror t into the horizontal position by means of the pivoted lever o. (3) The pin e then engages the part k of the plate f, which is rocked so as to release the stud b from the catch c', and the aperture l<1> in the shutter a passes over the lens aperture l and effects the exposure. In order to hold the mirror clear while changing the plate, the stui q is retained in the lower position by the device shown in Fig. 4. The hollow knob v attached to the slide v<1> on the outside of the casing surrounds the stud q, and is detained, when depressed, by the spring stud w. To prevent the shutter from being set before the mirror is returned to the reflecting position, a detent r, Fig. 1, engages the shutter in its raised position, but is held free by the part e<2> of the plate d when the latter is returned to its upper position by the spring d<3>. The lever p is used in connection with time exposures. The invention is also shown in the Specification applied to a reflecting type of camera in which the quadrant type of shutter is employed.

Title: Improvements in Ore Concentrators.
Inventor: ESSER FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1904-12-12
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 27,034. Esser, F. Dec. 12. Washing ores &c.-Relates to ore-concentrating tables in which the inclination of the table is increased or diminished gradually during the forward and backward strokes of the table so as to vary the force of the water current flowing over the table. If materials of very different specific gravities have to be separated, the inclination of the table is increased during the forward stroke, while, if the materials are of nearly the same specific gravity, the inclination of the table is diminished, or even reversed, during the forward stroke. For separating materials of very different specific gravities, the table is provided at the feed and discharge sides with wedge - shaped shoes 2, 3, Fig. 1, which slope in opposite directions, the shoes working on rollers 4. Or the shoes 5, Fig. 8, may be parallel, and mounted on eccentric rollers 6 ; or the table may be carried by pairs of levers 7, 7<a>, Fig. 10, of different lengths and mounted on different fulcra. When the materials are of nearly the same specific gravity, the shoes 2<a>, Fig. 5, at the feed side are parallel, and those 3a at the discharge side are wedge-shaped, so that the force of the water current is least when the vis viva of the particles due to the shock is a maximum. The tables shown in Figs. 8 and 10 may be adapted for materials of nearly the same specific gravity by reversing the eccentric rollers 6, or the stilts 7, 7<a> respectively.

Gas and like engines. - In the four - stroke - cycle engine shown in Fig. 1, a small explosion cylinder A is mounted concentrically within a larger cylinder C to which a charge of air is supplied, during the suction stroke of the piston E,. through ports B which are increased b the downward movement of the piston D. Air is admitted to the cylinders through the valve J. The respective pistons are connected, as shown, to cranks having unequal throws, and set, so that the piston D uncovers the ports B at the commencement of the suction stroke of the piston E. On the up-stroke of the piston E, and after the piston D has risen above the ports B, air from the cylinder C is forced through the valve K and carburettor H into the small explosion cylinder A. The charge is then ignited, and after the ports B are uncovered by the piston D, the products of combustion are admitted to, and mix with, the compressed air in the cylinder C. The exhaust products are expelled through the valves J, M, respectively. A modification is described in which the piston-rod of the explosion cylinder is connected to the crank-shaft by outside rods. If preferred, the engine described in connexion with Fig. 1 may be duplicated, the air compressed in the lower cylinder of one engine being passed through the carburettor and into the explosion cylinder of the remaining engine, and vice versa. The carburettor used may be of any suitable type, that in Fig. 1 being constructed of gauze and having formed in it a helical passage for the air supply, fuel dropping on to the gauze from the inlet I. The engine may be arranged to work on a twostroke cycle. Inert gases may also be used in the expansion cylinders.
