Title: Improvements in Combined Telephone-receivers and Transmitters.
Inventor: HOLMSTROEM JOHAN GUNNAR
Filed: 1903-03-21
Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 6605. Holmstr÷m, J. G. March 21. Telephones.-A receiver b and a transmitter a are contained in one casing, the space between the two diaphragms being filled to some extent with wax, Chatterton's compound, or other material F to prevent interaction of the diaphragms. The filling- material presses against the casing D to deaden its vibration, or the casing may be divided and formed partly of sound-deadening material. The Specification states that electric connection of the receiver and transmitter in series, either in series or in parallel with the primary winding of the induction coil, or connection, so that the transmitter and receiver currents are out of phase, to prevent interaction of the two diaphragms, is difficult to carry out in practice.

Title: Spirit Heater for Rapid Cooking with Vapour Blast
Inventor: FELDMEYER JOSEF
Filed: 1903-05-07
Granted: 1903-10-15
Abstract: 10,435. Feldmeyer, J. May 7. Spirit lamps.-Relates to vaporizing spirit lamps for cooking purposes, arranged to cause a blast by the action of the vapour. The wick tube projects down into the reservoir, being thus kept cool. From its closed top, a duct d, with a regulating- screw n, leads the vapour into an annular chamber f, whence it escapes through perforations into the space within the burner cone, thus inducing a supply of air to enter the holes n. The lamp is started by burning spirit on the plate l, a small cup o being attached to the plug p of the filling- hole, for ladling out a small quantity of spirit for this purpose.

Granted: 1903-12-17
Abstract: 21,378. Brown, W. E. Oct. 9, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901], Bottling.-Relates to machines for bottling still liquors without loss by overflow, the supply being automatically cut off when the bottle has received the proper quantity of liquid. The bottle rest 5 is pivoted to the standard 3 by means of the link 6 and the lever 7, this lever being provided with an adjustable weight 8. The reservoir 1 is mounted on the supporting arm or bracket 2, which can be adjusted in height in the standard 3, by means of the screw 4, to suit bottles of different sizes. The outlet tube 9 of the reservoir is somewhat smaller than the neck of the bottle, and is normally closed by the valve 10, the stem 12 of which is bent, as shown, to form a flange 13 adapted to be engaged by the neck of the bottle. When an empty bottle is placed on the rest 5, it is raised by the weight 8 until it engages the flange 13 and opens the valve 10, so permitting the liquid to enter the bottle. When the weight of the liquid overcomes the weight 8, the bottle descends, and the valve 10 closes automatically, so cutting off the flow.

Title: Improvements in Window Holders for Sliding Sashes.
Filed: 1904-09-29
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 20,957. Tonks, Ltd., [Leverett, G., and Ramsay, J.]. Sept. 29. Window holders.- Relates to means for holding a window sash in any position without the use of balance e weights. A channel is cut in each stile a of the window sash, and is adapted to receive the steel spring bar c, c<2> which completely fills the bottom of the trough. The o p e n end of the trough is almost filled by the friction slide e provided with metal-lined inclines g, the slide being about one inch shorter than the length of the trough. Between the inclines g and the spring bar c<2> are placed rollers d. In the closed position, the slide e is as shown in Fig. 1. On pushing up the window, the holding-device moves as a whole, but, when the window is released, the friction between the bar e and the window frame causes the former to stop while the window itself tends to fall by gravity this causes the rollers d to ascend the inclines g and increase the pressure, so as finally to stop the window. By pulling down the window, the end of the trough comes in contact with the top end-of the slide and the whole' moves down together.

Title: Tension Device for Warp-beams of Looms
Inventor: KELLER GOTTLIEB
Filed: 1904-10-13
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 22,058. Keller, G. Oct. 14, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Loom let-off motions.- A spur-wheel F, gearing with a pinion E on the warp-beam shaft C, is provided on both faces with annular grooves which engage inwardlyprojecting screws G on the upper forked end H<1> of a rod H. This rod passes loosely through a bearing I, and is drawn downwards by a spring J, which is confined between the bearing and an adjustable nut K. As the warp beam rotates in the direction of the arrow a<1> to let off the warp, the wheel F is rotated in the direction of the arrow b<1>, and the rod H is drawn upwards against the action of the spring J, by the friction of the projections G on the outer shoulders of the annular grooves, thus putting tension on the warps. If the warp becomes slack, the expansion of the spring J causes the warp beam to be rotated in the opposite direction, to take up the slack. The annular groove may be formed on one side only of the wheel F, and the device may be fitted at both ends of the warp beam.

Abstract: 1289. Windm³ller, S. Jan. 23. Acetylene.-In an acetylene generator of the type in which the supply of water to the carbide is regulated by the pressure of the gas evolved, the carbide holder a is arranged inside a water reservoir b. The water passes through openings in an outer cover c of the holder, through a tube d to a dropping device or needle f, and flows through perforated tubes g, h, i to the carbide, and through a movable bottom k carried by a spring j. The gas generated rises through openings l in an inner cover, and passes through a tube n and a cock p to a lamp. A duct q passes from the tube n and comes below a valve r, so that when an excess of pressure occurs the valve is lifted and the water supply cut off. A gas drier x containing carbide, and a purifier o of horsehair or wadding, may be arranged in the tube n.

Abstract: 4396. Lowson, J. P. March 3. Winches.-Relates to that method of loading and unloading a ship cargo in which two derricks are employed, one, the overhatch derrick, for lifting cargo from the hold, and the other, the overside derrick, for lowering material over the side of the vessel, or for performing the reverse operations. the load being transferred from one jib to the other by manipulation of the derrick runners or ropes, and consists in replacing the two winches ordinarily employed by a single double-barrelled winch. The two winch barrels K, K<1>, Fig. 3, are mounted on shafts G, G<1>, and rest in bearings formed in side supports A and in a central support H. The engine shaft E, rotated from cylinders having connecting rods C, may drive the spurwheels g, g<1> directly from pinions e, e<1> when either of the latter are fixed to the engine shaft by clutches P, P<1> actuated by handles 0, O<1>, or through an intermediate shaft F by pinions f, f<1>. When either or both of the barrels are being driven from this intermediate shaft, equal pinions X, X<1>, or reducing-pinions Y, Y', may be thrown into gear by levers N, N<1> according to the load. The "runners " or lines R, R<1> of the overhatch and overside derricks D, D', Fig. 8, are wound preferably in opposite directions around the barrels K, K<1> respectively, and the winch barrels are so controlled by the operator that the load may be lifted from the hatch in the cargo sling S by the runner R, aud, the runner R<1> being hooked on, the latter may be wound in and the former paid out so as to transfer the load from the derrick D to the derrick D<1> in the curved path W, and, the runner R being unhooked, the load may be lowered over the side by the runner R<1>, whilst the runner R is employed in lifting another load from the hold. The reverse operations may also be effected in a similar manner.
