Title: Improvements in Screw Propellers
Inventor: QUICK GEORGE
Filed: 1901-10-10
Granted: 1902-09-18
Abstract: 20,208. Quick, G. Oct. 10. Screw propellers.-To diminish the resistance and vibration, and to increase the propelling- efficiency of the blades near the periphery, the propelling-surface is designed to recede from the boss towards the periphery in the direction opposite to that in which the propeller turns in driving the vessel ahead, the amount of that recession beingregulated partly by the relation which the pitch bears to the diameter of the propeller, and partly by the maximum speed of the vessel in which the propeller is to be employed ; thus the greater the proportion of the pitch to the diameter and the greater the maximum number of revolutions per minute, the greater should be the total recession of the propelling-surface from the root of the blade at the boss outwards the periphery. In Fig. 4, this recession is indicated by the angles 60‹, 70‹ as compared with the position of the leading edge A of an ordinary propeller, which is also shown separately in Fig. 1. Both the angles of recession and the particular form of the curve a, b may be varied.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of a Vessel by Means of which Liquid Substances Thin and Thick can be Drawn off by Air Pressure.
Inventor: BUETTNER ALEXANDER
Filed: 1902-05-31
Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 12,407. B³ttner, A. May 31. Measured quantities, delivering.-The object of the invention is to provide hotels, restaurants, and other places where liquids are placed at the disposal of the public with a vessel from which any portion of the contents may be drawn off while the remainder is inaccessible, and which furthermore does not drip. The vessel b upon a foot a has a awan's-neck delivery tube c leading from the bottom, and is closed by a cap d, which is a cylinder containing a pistonf that is normally held up by a spring m around the piston-rod h. By pushing the piston down, the air in the cylinder is compressed and forces the liquid out through the tube. For use with thick liquids or semi-liquids such as mustard or condensed milk, a vent hole is made in the piston or rod to prevent the formation of spaces by air entering through the tube when the piston springs back.

Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 18,698. Platt, J. Aug. 26. Incandescent gas lamps. -The burners B are arranged in clusters round a central chamber A, which contains the mixture of air and gas, so that the mixture is heated by radiation before passing to the burners. The gas supply jet D extends a short distance into the chamber A, air being drawn into the chamber by an injector action. The burners are supplied through horizontal or sloping passages E. A baffle J is arranged at the lower part of the chamber, to prevent backlighting. Cones may be arranged in the burners for a similar purpose. At the top of the chamber is a spherical reflector. The burners and chamber are suspended by a spring or other elastic device from a support K, or from a float, or other device, so to minimize vibration. A cock D<x> is provided for extinguishing all the lights together ; a cock may also be fitted in each passage E. In a modification, the burners are not tixed to the chamber, but are suspended from an elastic support over the ends of the branch passages. The lower ends of the burners may fit into cups on the passages. This arrangement may also be applied to wall brackets and single burners. The burner caps are detachable, and are in the form of perforated discs. The burners may also be supported by rings fixed to the chamber engaging with rings or springs surrounding the burner. Each burner may be fitted with a pilot-light.

Patent GB-190221312-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Metering or Indicating the Volume of Fluids Flowing through Pipes or Channels.
Inventor: THRELFALL RICHARD
Filed: 1902-10-01
Granted: 1903-10-01
Abstract: 21,312. Threlfall, R. Oct. 1. Liquid meters.-Relates to apparatus for metering or recording the flow of gas or liquid through pipes. In the pipe 1 through which the fluid flows, a tube 2 is inserted with its end or opening facing the current, and near this a side tube 3 with its end at right-angles to the axis of the pipe. The end of the tube 3 is preferably flanged as shown. The difference in pressure produced in the tubes 2, 3 is stated to be proportional to the square of the velocity and to the density of the fluid, and this difference in pressure is utilized to actuate or control the metering or recording mechanism. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2. the inner and outer surfaces of a floating bell 4 are subjected to the pressure in the tubes 3, 2 respectively, and the movement of this bell is arranged to operate on the recorders. The bell is controlled by springs 5, 6. In the arrangement shown, the bell is connected by a hook 10 to the arm 8 of an electrodynamic balance having fixed coils 11 and coils 9 on the arm 8. The coils of the balance are in series with an ampere-hour meter 24, and if desired an ampere meter also. The arm 8 carries an insulated contact-piece c which, when the balance is in equilibrium, stands midway between the contacts 13, 12. If the velocity of the fluid in the pipe 1 increases, the bell 4 descends and the piece c makes contact with the contact 13. A decrease in the velocity causes the piece c to make contact with the contact 12. A. circuit containing a magnet 14 or 15 is thus closed at each increase or decrease of the velocity of the fluid, and these magnets operate suitable means for correspondingly varying the strength of the current flowing through the balance and the measuring-instruments 24. In the arrangement shown, the magnet 14 operates a valve 19 to admit liquid into a vessel 17, and the magnet 15 operates a valve 19 to discharge liquid from the vessel 17. A float 16 in the vessel 17 moves a weighted cord 20, to which is attached a sliding contact 22 which puts more or less of a resistance 23 into the circuit of the balance and measuring-instruments. The meter 24 may be an ordinary copper voltameter, a gas voltameter, or other suitable electric meter. The bell 4 may be arranged to control other forms of meters, such as gas or water meters, by means of valves operated by cams &c. The bell 4 may also be arranged to control a mechanical integrating- mechanism, such as a disc-and-wheel arrangement. In place of a bell or float 4, a corrugated aneroid box or expansible corrugated cylinder may be used, opposite sides or ends of which are subjected to the varying pressure in the tubes 1, 2, and the expansion or contraction of which operates to move the controlling-mechanism of the meter or measuring- apparatus.

Title: A Process and Apparatus for Disinfecting Linen or other Fabrics by the Combined Action of Ozone and Steam.
Inventor: OTTO MARIUS
Filed: 1903-02-12
Granted: 1903-04-09
Abstract: 3371. Otto, M. Feb. 12. Disinfecting.-Linen or other fabrics are disinfected by submitting them successively to the action of steam and ozone. The Figure shows a form of apparatus in which two jacketed cylindrical chambers a are used in conjunction, but a single chamber or more than two may be employed. After the articles have been placed in the chambers and the lids b have been closed, steam is admitted to the jacket e through the cock k, pipe 1, and cock r, and into the chambers themselves by the pipe 1, cock i, and pipes h leading to channels f, communicating with the chambers by perforations p. Excess of steam escapes through perforations o, channels d, cocks l, m, and outlet 4. After the preliminary treatment, the cock m is turned so as to connect the pipes 3, 5, and an exhaust pump u is set in action so as to exhaust the chambers. Ozone, produced in a generator t, is then admitted to the chambers through the pipe 2, cock i, and pipes h. The process may be repeated as often as necessary. The articles are discharged into a receptacle j by opening the bottom c of the chamber.

Abstract: 6980. McCallum, P. March 26. Water-waste preventers, siphon-discharge. The siphon A of a water-closet or like cistern has a straight or curved lateral branch D, closed by a flexible ball 1. An open cylinder E surrounds the orifice as shown, leaving a channel G communicating with the cistern, part of which is shown at B. A closed weighted cylinder works inside the cylinder E, and presses down the ball with its conical or hemispherical bottom. On raising this cylinder by pulling the draw-cord, the ball rises and water enters the outlet C through the channel G, thus starting the siphon. The branch D is closed again by the suction and the weight of the cylinder J, and the water is drawn along the bend A.
