Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Drilling Brush Stocks and other Articles.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1902-09-08
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 19,621. Boult, A. J., [Butler, W. E.]. Sept. 8. Drilling brush stocks and other articles. Relates to a multiple drilling-machine for drilling one side, or one side and one end, of the stock &c. The drill spindles G, I for the side and end respectively are in rows, the planes of which converge towards the work. The separate spindles in each row also converge. Each spindle consists of two parts, a tubular part h with a square bore and the part h<1> squared to fit the bore in which it slides and screw-threaded to engage with the fixed part h<4> of the frame so as to reciprocate the drill. The spindles have bevel-wheels k engaging with similar wheels k<1> on a number of parallel shafts F, each of which carries a spur-wheel a to engage with the teeth a<1> of the master gear E<3>. The spindles I similarly derive their motion from a number of parallel shafts H, H<1> ; but the shafts H<1> are connected by bevel gearing with the shaft H, which, in turn, carries a spur-wheel engaging with the teeth b<1> on the master gear. The master gear is rotated in opposite directions by a pinion on its shaft gearing with a rack D reciprocated by a crank C<2> and connecting-rod D<1>. The brush stocks are piled up in the shoot A<5> and the bottom one is pushed forward beneath the drills by a slide B connected by linkwork B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4> to the rack D. The drilled stock drops from the machine when the slide B is withdrawn, a pivoted catch preventing it from following the slide.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Doors for Sterilizers and the like.
Inventor: BRUCKER JULIUS
Filed: 1903-01-15
Granted: 1903-04-02
Abstract: 1047. Brucker, J. Jan. 15. Disinfecting.-Relates to apparatus for-sterilizing surgical instruments, dressings, &c., and consists, mainly, in the construction of an airtight and steamtight door. The invention is described as applied to a cylindrical sterilizer provided with a steam jacket and enclosed by an outer casing, a space being left between the jacket and casing for the passage of hot gases from a burner below. The door A, which is hinged to the body of the sterilizer, is constructed as shown in Fig. 3. A spindle E, carrying a screw E' and fitted with a hand-wheel D, passes centrally through the door, and is prevented from moving longitudinally by a collar E<2> and a fixed nut F. The outer run of the door carries ribs A<2> which press on a packing 0 of Babbitt metal &c. A block G threaded to receive the screw E<1> carries a number of radial arms H, the outer ends of which work in short circumferential slots a in a flange A' on the door. The end of the sterilizer is formed with a series of lugs J<2> corresponding in position and number to the arms H. When the door is closed, the hand-wheel D is turned, causing the block G and arms H to revolve until the latter reach the ends of the slots, in which position they engage behind the lugs J<2>. A further rotation of the wheel causes the block G to move inwards, thus pressing the arms H on the lugs J<2> and forcing the lid inwards so as to press the ribs A<2> on the packing O. The mechanism of the lid is enclosed by a plate A<6>.

Patent GB-190318804-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Ice-making Apparatus
Inventor: WEBB WALTER HENRY
Filed: 1903-09-01
Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 18,804. Webb, W. H., Brettell, W. G., and Adamson, A. J. Sept. 1. Direct air-pressure apparatus is combined with icemaking apparatus of the kind in which ice moulds filled with water are placed in tanks of brine, the object being to agitate the brine and the fresh water, or either. Such an apparatus consists of a vessel b connected to the brine tank or to the mould, and containing a float g, which moves freely along the rod g<1>, hitting the stops g<2> on the rod at the end of its travel. The rod is fitted at its end with a valve f, which alternately opens and closes the entry between the water chamber b and an air chest fitted to its top, into which compressed air is delivered by an air pipe b<2>. One end of a lever having its fulcrum fixed to the air chest is held on the rod by a collar, and the other is similarly held on a short rod working a valve f which alternately allows and prevents entry from the vessel to an air chest opening into the atmosphere by a hit-or-miss valve. The lever is slotted and provided with a sliding weight which tends to hold it in position. When the water is level at its highest, the float holds up the valve f ; compressed air enters the water chamber through the open entry, depressing the water and float. The valves are held in the same position by the weight till the float strikes the lower stop g' and pulls down the valve f and, by the action of the lever, sends up the valve f<1>. This opens an air escape at the top of the vessel. The water and float then rise till the float hits the upper stop. Instead of the valve f, regulating-valves may be provided in the pipes b, or elsewhere. Modifications may be effected by the use of other gases instead of air, by exhausting air instead of compressing it, or allowing the brine to flow through the tank, instead of having its level periodically altered.
