Title: Improvements in Machines for Carrotting or otherwise Preparing Fur for Felting.
Inventor: LANGLEY JOHN
Filed: 1906-08-23
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 18,863. Langley, J. Aug. 23. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-A machine for carrotting or otherwise preparing fur for felting comprises within a frame a, Fig. 2, a solution tank b, and above this, say, three pairs of earthenware rollers e, l, secured on their shafts c, Fig. 5, by acid-resisting brass disks d pinned thereto, rubber disks f intervening. The upper rollers are covered with rubber g and are mounted in bearings h capable of vertical adjustment by set-screws, the bottom rollers being fixed. Circularly grooved tension rollers n of acid-resisting brass carry the skin from one pair of large rollers to the next, keeping it extended. At the delivery end and close to the upper roller e are mounted a rotary brush o, a tension roller p, and a cover q. A pulley on the brush shaft r is driven by a strap. Suitable sprocket-wheels, mounted on the ends of the rollers n, p, and on the driving end of the brush shaft r, together with two pulleys carry a sprocket chain which gives motion to the rollers. The other end of the brush shaft carries a spurwheel, which gears with and imparts motion to a large wheel z on the shaft c of the middle bottom roller l. The latter and each of the shafts c carry spur-wheels 2, which are geared up by the carrier wheel 3. The large rollers are given a uniform surface speed the rollers n, p being driven slightly quicker, while the brush o rotates about five and a half revolutions to one of the large rollers. On the top of the frame a is a solutionsupply tank 4 having a pipe 5 with a tap 6, feeding into the tank b. The skin is fed into the machine from the table, fur downwards, the bottom rollers l saturating it with solution, which is pressed out again by the upper rollers. On leaving the last pair of rollers, the skin passes between the brush o and the grooved roller p, the fur being thus straightened and rendered ready for drying.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro-magnetic Devices for Doing Work on any Restrained Body.
Filed: 1906-08-31
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 19,486. Belliss & Morcom, and Macgregor, R. Aug. 31. Electro-magnets.-The armature of an electromagnet is connected through a spring &c. to a member for operating railway points and signals, for starting and stopping an engine, or for opening a valve to admit air to a condenser, this connexion allowing the armature to apply an impulsive stroke to the member. The solenoid winding a is mounted in a casing d, the armature c being guided into the electro-magnet through a lined opening in this casing. At the other end of the electro-magnet, a pole-piece e serves to further attract the armature, a stud of non-magnetic material preventing contact. To a cross-head o carried on the armature, springs j<1> are pivoted and complete the connexion to the operating-member n. Alternative arrangements of spring connexion may be used. A duplicate electro-magnet, Fig. 2, wound so that the two bobbins a<1> form opposite poles, may be employed in connexion with a duplicate armature, both bobbins carrying pole-pieces e<2> at their other extremities. The magnetic circuit is completed in the case of armature and electro-magnet by magnetic material. The pole-pieces may be fixed to the electro-magnets or mounted on a carrier, which, controlled by a spring, allows them to enter into the electro-magnets and further strengthen the attraction on the armature.

Filed: 1906-11-19
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 26,109. Newman & Sons, W., and Newman, H. G. Nov. t9. Emergency - exit fastenings; sliding bolts. - Relates to an emergency-exit fastening, for the door of a theatre or other public building, of the type in which a crush-bar operates a pair of bolts connected by a stud-and-slot rotary coupling. The push-bar a terminates in swinging arms b, c pivoted to brackets on the inner side of the door, the arm b having an extension b<2> engaging between lugs e<1>, e<2> on a bolt e. The withdrawal of the bolt e causes the rotation of a disk g, by means of a recess g<5> which receives a stud g<3> ; a corresponding stud g<4> on the opposite side of the disk engaging a similar recess g<6>, thus simultaneously withdrawing the bolt f. The plate g is mounted on a sleeve g<1> in a bearing g<2>, and a handle h with a square spindle to enter the sleeve serves for operation from the outside. After operation, the bolts may be kept withdrawn by a catch-piece h<1>, Fig. 6, loosely pivoted to the arm c and engaging a hook i on the bracket c<2>. The flat surfaces c<3>, c<4> serve as stops to limit the motion of the push-bar a.

Title: Process for Utilizing High Velocities with Mixtures of Gases and Liquids.
Inventor: GUSTAV MEYERSBERG
Filed: 1907-03-12
Abstract: 6018. Meyersberg, G. March 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Direct air-pressure apparatus.-When a liquid flows through a pipe the longitudinal axis of which is horizontal, and steam, air, or other gas is introduced so that the gas and liquid move with a common velocity, it is found that, by continuously decreasing the sectional area of the pipe, a certain "maximum" or "critical" velocity is obtained, a higher velocity being only obtained by enlarging the pipe from the position at which the critical velocity occurs. The critical velocity is dependent upon the proportion by weight of gas to liquid. In Fig. 2 the heights of the points a<1> ... a<5> from the axis y-y represent pressures at various positions along a pipe through which a mixture of gas and liquid is passing, and the ordinates a<1> d<1> ... a<5> d<5> represent -the corresponding velocities. It is stated that the above properties of a mixture of gas and liquid passing through a pipe may be utilized in apparatus for compressing gases.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Amplifying Variable Electrical Currents of Telephonic or like Character.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1907-05-21
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 11,823. Lake, H. W., [Stone, J. S.]. May 21. Telephone systems; telephones; phonographs &c. -Relates to apparatus for increasing the intensity or amplitude of varying electric currents such as are employed in telephonic transmission, and is particularly described with reference to the amplification of currents induced in the solenoid of an electro-magnet A by a moving telephonic record C, thus increasing the amplitude of the sound waves produced by the reproducing telephone T. The solenoid of the electro-magnet A is connected in series with two solenoids 6 wound on the pole-pieces of the permanent magnet 6<1>. Any variation in the current flowing in the solenoids 6 causes a variation in the force with which the armature 7 is attracted by the magnet 6<1>. This armature is rigidly connected to the insulated diaphragm 8, to the vibrating electrode of the microphone, and to the light frame 17, which in turn is fixed to a stretched wire 20 which supplies the restraining force to the pull of the magnet 6<1> on the armature 7. The diaphragm 8 is attached to the metallic frame 2 by means of springs 10. The box 15, which is rigidly attached to the frame 16, contains the fixed electrode of the microphone and the carbon granules. The vibrating electrode is attached to this box by means of a mica diaphragm. The battery current enters at the binding-post d and passes through the wire x to the vibrating electrode, and by means of the carbon granules to the fixed electrode, and thence through the frame and wire y to the primary I<1> of a step-up induction coil and back to the battery B. The reproducing telephone T is connected to the terminals of the secondary coil I<2> of the induction coil. To reduce friction, the whole apparatus may be enclosed in a bell jar 25 from which the air may be exhausted.
