Patent GB-190723053-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Bronzing Leaves.
Inventor: BOYET JOSEPH EUGENE
Filed: 1907-10-18
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 23,053. Boyet, J. E. Oct. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Bronzing and like.-In an apparatus for manufacturing bronzing-leaves, the bronze, bone, or other powder y is detachably fixed upon a pliable support a of paper, fabric, skin, or the like by a fatty body x of tallow or the like. The strip a of paper is unwound from a drum mounted upon a shaft b and drawn between cylinders f, e by cylinders c, d. The adhesive substance is contained in a vessel g and is distributed by the cylinder f, which may have a peripheral speed differing from the speed of the strip a. The adhesive may be fed to the cylinder f by a spring or like device, or by gravity. The coated strip a then passes beneath a powder distributor h which deposits a uniform layer y upon the adhesive. This layer y is incorporated with the adhesive by the drawing-cylinders c, d. The treated strip is cut into leaves by suitably-operated shears i. The apparatus is arranged in a box with transparent walls so that the operative may be protected from the harmful action of the bronze powders. The powder may be intimately mixed with a powdered agglomerant. The leaves are applied with their powdered side to the surface to be decorated, and heated or cold irons, having in relief the designs to be impressed, are applied to the outer face of the leaves.

Abstract: 6334. Noah, W. T. March 30, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Spinning-spindle type; lubricating.-The bolster 7, secured in the rail 5 by a nut 10, has an enlarged extension 8 with a cut-away portion or opening 11, the step 41 being carried in the lower part 12 of the bolster and held in place by a screwed cap 22.

Title: Method of and Means for Transmitting Pictures and the like from a Distance.
Inventor: DE-BERNOCHI FRANCESCO
Filed: 1908-05-26
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 11,446. Bernochi, F. de. March 31, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. . Wireless telegraphy.-In a system of facsimile telegraphy, the varying conditions of light and shade of a picture &c. are wirelessly transmitted to the receiving station as fluctuations in a beam of light. A steady beam of light is brought to a focus on the surface of the moving picture which is to be transmitted, and the varying beam thus transmitted through the picture, which is mounted on a helically rotating transparent drum 1, falls on a selenium cell 10. This cell is arranged in series with a battery and the primary of a transformer, the secondary of which is contained in the circuit of an arc lamp set at the focus of a parabolic reflector 15. The varying current in the primary circuit containing the selenium cell causes the light of the arc to nuotaate, and this varying beam is transmitted by the reflector to the receiving- station, where it is concentrated by a similar reflector on to a selenium cell 17 in circuit with a battery and a mirror galvanometer. A beam of light falling on the mirror is reflected therefrom through a screen 22, the transparency of which is graduated from opacity on the one side to absolute transparency on the other, and is then brought to a focus on the surface of a sensitized film mounted on a drum 26 rotating helically and synchronously with the transmitting-drum. As the mirror oscillates due to the varying currents in the circuit of the selenium cell 7, more or less light is reflected on to the dark side of the graduated screen, and thus the beam of light which is focussed on the moving sensitized film, varies in intensity, and a varying photographic impression is the result.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BONNAUD HUGH MARATELLI
Filed: 1908-06-06
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 12,285. Bonnaud, H. M., and McMillan, W. June 6. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-Fig. 1 represents a two-cylinder two-stroke-cycle engine of the type in which the piston of each cylinder pumps carburetted air into the combustion chamber of the other, and which has a common reservoir pipe opening into the combustion and compression chambers of each cylinder. Carburetted air is drawn from a pipe (not shown) through the valve q to the compression chamber a<3> of the cylinder a. On the outstroke, it passes through the valve p into the reservoir pipe o, where it is compressed, and on the opening of the inlet valve of the cylinder a', it enters the combustion chamber. The same process is gone through with regard to the pumping chamber of the cylinder a' and the combustion chamber of the cylinder a. The engine drives through crank - pin and slot mechanism, the slot being formed by bolting together the cross-heads c. The driving-parts and the fly-wheel are contained in a case b connecting the two cylinders. An oil-container v is provided for supplying lubricant from the casing b to the piston-rod glands w. Valves and valve-gear.-The inlet and exhaust valves h, i are of the oscillating-plug type and are moved through levers j by rods k and rollers k<1> operated by a cam-disk l ; the inlet valves are actuated by the inner cam-path l<1> and the exhaust valves by the outer cam-path l<2>, gear-wheels and springs being thus dispensed with. The valve casings are split and provided with lugs y and a tightening-screw y'.

The soundconcentrator 13 is formed with two prongs 14 adapted to be sprung into two of the apertures in the front plate 10. The transmitter 2, Fig. 1, is connected by flexible cords to the battery 1 and receiver 3, which is provided with a detachable funnel-shaped fitting 27 connected by the flexible tube 28 to a tip 29 adapted to be inserted in the ear of the user. The flexible cord 5 has socket-members 8 adapted to be clamped to the terminal studs 9, which may be made of different sizes. The studs 9 are placed at the same distance apart as the terminals 6, 7, so that the battery and transmitter may be directly connected. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c.

Abstract: 19,169. Simon, C. F. Nov. 2, 1908, [Convention date]. Anemometers. - In a gas-meter of the type in which the quantity flowing is indicated by the size of a variable opening through which the gas passes,the size of the opening in o n e direction varies automatically with the pressure, so that equal readings o n a n indicator showing the size of the opening in the other direction are obtained for equal weights of gases passing. In the form shown. gas entering at a passes into a vessel e, which slides gas-tight in a cylinder d, is supported by a wire passing over a pulley f, and carries a weight g. Rectangular apertures h, i in the vessel e and cylinder d overlap more or less according to the position of the vessel e in the cylinder, and allow gas to pass through a chamber r to the outlet u. The gas pressure in the chamber r depresses a piston o against springs p, the piston carrying with it a rod l of rectangular section twisted at m and passing through a fixed guide n and a tubular guide k fixed to the vessel e. This vessel is therefore turned as the piston moves, the arrangement being that the overlapping portions of the apertures h, i vary in width inversely as the product of the gaseous velocity and pressure. A style carried by the suspension wire indicates the weight of gases passing by marking a rotating drum.
