Patent GB-190720932-A (GB)
Title: A New Method of Manufacturing Moulds used in the Electrolytic Manufacture of so-called Honeycomb Radiators and Apparatus connected therewith
Inventor: FRIEDHEIM ERNEST
Filed: 1907-09-20
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 20,932. Friedheim, E. Nov, 27, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Casting; making apparatus for use in electrolysis.- Moulds for making honeycomb radiators by electrodeposition are made by casting fusible metal around slightly tapering cores a having conical tops d and hexagonal prismatic bases b which fit together on a base plate c to form the bottom of the mould. The plate c is adapted to be heated. A steel frame e is placed around the bases b, and an outer false frame f is fixed around the frame e by screwed gudgeons or by clamping-bars g, the joint being packed with asbestos or the like. One or more reglets h are temporarily provided at the top of the false frame f to secure the cores in a vertical position, and. a perforated plate may be placed upon the conical ends d. When the metal has set, the frame f is removed and the casting is lifted by means of previously inserted hooks, the cores being driven out by means of a mallet or a press.

Title: Improvements in Screw Propellers for Aerial and Aquatic Navigation.
Inventor: MERCIER PIERRE
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 25,077. Mercier, P. Nov. 12. Screw propellers.-Each blade of an aerial or other propeller is composed of a stem b fitted with one sheet or several step-like superposed sheets 1, 2, 3, 4 arranged to strike the air &c. with a rigid edge and allow the back flow of the fluid over a flexible edge. The blades may be stiffened near the shaft by a wire w or a rod r. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the striking-edge is also made flexible. Fig. 7 shows a method of duplicating the sheets or layers of which the blades are composed. The motion of propellers of this type may be reversed by imparting a half-turn to each blade by the means shown in Fig. 8. The stem b is in this instance carried by a loose sleeve f having a toothed disk o'in gear with a corresponding disk o<1> on the propeller shaft o.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Pulverulent Matter into Packages.
Inventor: SCOTT LINDSAY
Filed: 1907-11-29
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 26,374. Scott, L., and Barron, J. Nov. 29. Packeting and filling pulverulent materials.-In a machine for filling pulverulent material into packets, the material is discharged from a vessel 9, in any convenient manner, into a die box or mould 12, the top 11 of which is periodically opened for this purpose by cam mechanism operated from a shaft 1<a>. At the lower end of the mould is situated a box-wheel 1 revolved periodically by gearing from the same shaft 1<a>. The box-wheel is provided with a number of open-ended pockets 5, Fig. 3, for holding openended boxes 6, Fig. 4, containing, in turn, the paper packets 7 which are inserted therein with one end closed, the open ends being held by detachable flanges 8. Between the pockets 5 are blank spaces which close the lower end of the mould during filling. In line with the mould box is a plunger 13 reciprocated intermittently by a slotted link 43 and mutilated gear 41. The action of the plunger is first to press into the mould a paper or cardboard cap 15 cut from a roll 17, then to wait for the filling of the mould and the alinement of an empty packet, next to push the cap and material into the packet, and finally, by contact of a collar 18 on the plunger against projections 19, Fig. 4, on the flange 8, to eject the packet and box on to a platform 20. The platform swings on a centre 21, and after receiving the packet and box is tilted automatically, by levers and rods 22 actuated by a cam 23, to lift the packet into a vertical position, as shown, and deliver it on to a table 24.

Abstract: 13,618. Buckley & Taylor, and Wood, J. W. June 6. Centrifugal governors; transmitting-mechanism.-In a steam-engine governor wherein a rod f<1>, connecting the governor lever t to the lever g<1> on the shaft g which acts on the Corliss gear to vary the cut-off, is divided and provided with a turnbuckle, by means of which its length is automatically altered on variation of speed by pawls d, j on an oscillating quadrant m, the rod f<1> becomes considerably shortened by closing-down time owing to the gradual lowering of the boiler pressure, and it is necessary to return the rod to its normal length for re-starting. For this purpose, a pawl l is pivoted on the quadrant m. When the engine is stopping, the rod c withdraws the pawl d from its ratchetwheel, and the lever g', through levers p, q and a mercury balance n, puts the pawl l into engagement with one ratchet-wheel to lengthen the rod f<1>. When the rod has been lengthened, the pawl l is withdrawn from the ratchet-wheel. During normal running and when the engine has stopped, all the pawls are out of action.
