Abstract: 7197. Tourtel, J. M., and Mealing, W. R. March 26. Lighting and extinguishing gas.- A liquid seal controller consists of a cylinder divided into two superimposed chambers 1, 2 connected by a tube k and containing liquid. One chamber 1 is opened to the atmosphere ; the other 2 has a gas inlet i and an outlet j. An increase of gas pressure forces the liquid into an upper chamber 1 and unseals the outlet j. The tube j may be adjustable for regulating the operating pressure. The cylinder is preferably made of a glass tube g held in packing z within a case v ; the lower end of the tube g is plugged and the top is closed by a cap z<1> secured by plaster of paris. An outer cap w with a filling- plug w<2> is also provided ; z<2> are vent holes. Fig. 2 shows a cock actuation device for use in connexion with the controller. A diaphragm in a chamber a, in connexion through an inlet b with the outlet of the controller, is distended, when the controller acts, and operates the cock by means of a ratchet gear e, q. The gas in the chamber a is discharged by a small permanent outlet f leading to the burner where the escaping gas is burnt.

Patent GB-190709176-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Safety Electric Cable.
Filed: 1907-04-19
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 9176. Land und Seekabelwerke Akt.- Ges. Aug. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cables, particularly suitable for use in mines and other places liable to the presence of explosive vapours, are made with the inner leads b separated from the outer conductor a by a layer c of elastic insulating-material mechanically weaker than the external elastic covering-layer d so that on being subjected to violence the inner layer is ruptured, causes a short-circuit inside the outer sheath before the latter is broken, and so operates a cutout in the circuit, thereby avoiding a spark external to the cable.

Title: Improvements in Radiators or Coolers for Motor-road Vehicles.
Inventor: HUELLINGHORST FRIEDRICH JOHANN
Filed: 1907-05-13
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 11,170. Hullinghorst, F. J. D. May 13. Gas and like engines.-Relates to radiators or coolers for motor road vehicles, such as those described in Specifications No. 26,399, A.D. 1906, and No. 3415, A.D. 1907, in which an annular water chamber surrounds a fan. Additional annular chambers k, o', concentric with the axis of the fan, are provided at the front and the back of the radiator. These are connected by radial tubes n, p to concentric chambers j<1>, o<3>, which are divided into upper and lower parts. Water entering by the pipe c flows into the upper parts of the chambers j<1>, o' and through the tubes n, p to the annular chambers k, o<1>. The water then passes to the lower parts of the chambers j<1>, o<2> and thence to the tank b and main annular chamber a, which is provided with an outlet. The inner surface of the main annular chamber may be corrugated. Pipes g, passing through partitions f, allow air to escape into the upper part of the radiator, whence it passes out through a vent in the cap i. The front of the radiator is provided with a loose end plate or cover j, which is formed integral with the chambers k, j<1>. The cover is connected with the inlet pipe c and the tank b by pipes j<4> which are secured to the cover by flanges and screws. The back-plate o is similar to the plate j, but. is not detachable. An opening s, closed by a sliding plate, facilitates the removal of grit &c. and the regulation of the air supply to the fan.
Patent GB-190713061-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Cigarette-making Machine.
Inventor: HELLMANN FERDINAND
Filed: 1907-06-05
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 13,061. Hellmann, F. June 5. Cigarette - making machines. - In a cigarettemaking machine of the class in which tobacco is moulded into the required shape and thrust into an empty cigarette shell, the tobacco is fed from a hopper 1 by a toothed drum mounted on the spindle 2, and passed along an horizontal duct 4, Fig. 4, to the vertical duct 5 in which it is compressed by a vertically reciprocating presser 6 and forced into a chamber 7, whence it is expelled by a slide 8 into the mould 10, a knife 25 being provided to sever the tobacco. The paper shells are contained in a box 28, Fig. 1, having a corrugated bottom and adapted to be shaken by means of a rod 30 so that a paper shell drops through an aperture on to the plate 31, whence it is pushed on to the mouth 27 of the mould 10 and the tobacco is thrust into it by means of the reciprocating rod 41. The reciprocating carriage 26, Figs. 3 and 4, which operates the slide 8, also carries a rod 34 which actuates a pivoted lever 35, and causes a spring 37 and cushion 38 to hold the paper shell on the mouth 27 during the filling operation, releasing it at such a moment that the rod, towards the end of its stroke, pushes the filled cigarette off the mouth 27 to the shears 42 by which the protruding tobacco is cut off, a travelling belt 50 conveying the tobacco to a receptacle 53. The shears 42 are operated on the return stroke of the carriage 26 by means of the rod 45, and the finished cigarette drops on to a dish 46, Fig. 1, which is tilted by the rod 49 at the proper moment to discharge the cigarette. The presser 6 is provided with pyramidal or conical feet to allow tobacco to pass it on the upward movement of the presser, which is operated by the rod 22, Figs. 3 and 4. To ensure that the toothed drum in the hopper 1 secures a proper grip of the tobacco, a knife 12 is provided, while a slotted plate 24 prevents ejection of tobacco from the duct 4. The spindle 2 is intermittently rotated by means of a ratchet-wheel 13 engaging with a pivoted pawl 16, 18 carried by a vertically reciprocating rod 14. During the upward movement of the rod 14, the pawl rotates the ratchet-wheel, but on the downward movement the pawl is rotated into the inclined position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 and is brought back into the horizontal position for the up-stroke by abutting against the pivoted lever 20. When the presser 6 is lowered, a tappet 21 rocks the lever 20 into the inclined position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, and the pawl 16, 18 clears the end thereof, causing an interruption of the feed; the frictional engagement of the spring 17 prevents accidental rotation of the pawl. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the upward movement of the rod 14 operates arms c, which project through apertures d in the hopper and thrust the tobacco on to the toothed drum. To enable cigarettes of different sizes to be made, the mould 10 and the bottom 54, Fig. 4, are exchangeable and the sheath 55 of the duct 5 is vertically adjustable.

Granted: 1908-07-13
Abstract: 16,128. B÷hm, L. Sept. 4, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Money-delivering apparatus.-Beneath each coin tube 48, Figs.1 and 2, is an endless band which has apertures corresponding to the size of the coins in the tube, and is fed forward to an extent corresponding to the key depressed. The keys 13 act on bars 11, moving them endways by means of camsurfaces 14 to free a pawl 16 from a ratchet-wheel, the cam-surfaces then engaging beneath the bar and serving as stops for bars 10 which are operated by spring-actuated toothed wheels 12. A slide 30 pushes simultaneously all the bars 10 that have been displaced, to their initial position, thereby driving back the toothed wheels 12 and rotating drums 20, connected therewith by ratchet gearing to feed forward the bands 17. When a handle 39 is turned, cams 44 raise a plate 67 which has projections for pushing the coins through apertures in the pay board 75. When the slide 30 was moved, pins thereon engaged and moved the bars 11, thereby freeing the depressed keys 13, which then rose by spring action. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907 to Specification No. 5967, A.D. 1884.].
