Patent GB-189814535-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Slide Rules.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1898-07-01
Granted: 1898-10-29
Abstract: 14,535. Boult, A. J., [Rizzoli, L.]. July 1. Slide-rules.-The scales are specially arranged for obtaining results in tacheometry, though they are, for the most part, similar to those on an ordinary rule. The front of the rule A has a logarithmic scale at the top and another of double size at the bottom, while along the edge is a scale of equal parts read by the edge of the slider C. The back of the slide B has scales for log sin' alpha and log sin a cos a affording means for directly determining the horizontal distance and linear altitude of an observed point which, where N is the staff reading and a the elevation, are given respectively by the formulµ N (1-sin<2> alpha) and N sin a cos a. Again, if a be the azimuthal angle and D the distance of a point, the coordinates D sin a and D cos a can be determined by using the scale for log sin<2> a (or 2 log sin a) and the lower (double sized) scale on the rule, or by using the upper scale and the usual formulµ No scale for log tan a is required, as tangents can be obtained from those described by the help of the formulµ tan alpha = sin<2> alpha / sin alpha cos alpha

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Necking and Lipping Vials and other Bottles.
Inventor: CONDE JAMES BACHE
Filed: 1898-11-29
Granted: 1899-03-04
Abstract: 25,210. Conde, J. B. Nov. 29. Re-heating; shaping.-Glass tubes, each of which is subsequently to form two vials or bottles, are necked and lipped at each end by the apparatus described. Each tube A is held by set-screws in a sleeve, Figs. 1 and 3, having a central pinion 49 and grooves to enable it to run on inclined rails 52, 53. Fig. 3 shows one such sleeve or carrier at the bottom of the incline 52, and another in the operative position, held by one pair of the recesses 47 in the intermittently-rotating feed-discs 42<a>. The glass tube is rotated by means of the toothed wheel 70, which gears with the pinion 48 when the shaft 54 is lowered by cam-actuated mechanism. Rotation can be effected at either of two speeds, the tube being rotated more slowly while the ends are being heated by the blowpipes 74 than during the process of forming the necks and lips. The increase in speed is produced when one of the cam surfaces on the disc 12<1> pushes back the spring-controlled intermediate shaft 61 so as to throw the wheels 69. 71 into gear, in place of the wheels 68, 70. The four blowpipes 74 have each a conveying pair of burners 91, supplied with air through the tubes 93, 94, 75, and with gas through the tubes 90, 87, 86, 76. A device is provided by which each blowpipe may be reciprocated to increase the length of the heated portion of the tube. The supply of air and gas is controlled by the cam 106, which operates the valves 80, 81 so as to shut off the air supply and diminish the gas supply, after the ends of the tube have been sufficiently heated. The necks and lips are formed by the action of the plugs 26 and dies 30, Fig. 6. The carriages 15 are reciprocated by cam surfaces acting on the antifriction rollers 22 of the rods 20. Each carriage bears a cam-actuated rod 25 carrying the plug 26 which is forced into the end of the glass tube, and in addition is provided with a pair of dies 30, which are closed upon the tube against the tension of the flat springs 32 when the rollers 34 are advanced along the inclines 33 by a pair of lateral rods to which the camactuated rod 40 is attached. After the tube has been necked and lipped, it is discharged with its carrier down the rails 53 for further treatment.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gear.
Inventor: LUCAS RALPH
Filed: 1899-05-29
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 11,178. Lucas, R. May 29. Belt gearing.-Relates to variable-speed gearing and expanding-pulleys. Each of the shafts a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, carries a pulley, which always tends to expand, and is connected by a belt to a pulley on an intermediate shaft d. This shaft may be shifted towards one or the other of the expanding- pulleys and, as the belts are inextensible, this movement is accompanied by a corresponding variation in the diameter of the pulleys and of the ratio of the gear. In another arrangement, the two expanding-pulleys are connected directly by a single belt, and a movable jockey pulley bearing upon one of them serves to regulate their diameters. The construction of the pulleys is shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The rim consists of a series of bars g jointed together at their middles and ends and mounted upon a set of cross-bars h, which are guided in radial slots in the side discs j. The cross-bars are connected by links k to loose discs l inside the discs j, which always tend to turn so as to expand the pulley in consequence of the fall of the springs o coupled to their pins m, which pass out through circular slots in the side discs.

Abstract: 12,970. Efran, B. June 22. Mechanical stoking; firebars and grates ; dampers.- Fuel from the hopper F is fed by the reciprocating roller slide W, and falls on the incline P<3>, down which it falls in front of the pushers sch. These pushers and the slide W are operated, the latter by means of levers, by eccentrics or cams on the shaft W<3>. The pushers deliver the fuel on to the grate, which consists of fixed and reciprocating bars arranged alternately, all the bars being stepped as shown. The moving bars are operated simultaneously by eccentrics on the shaft W<3>, being attached to a bar W<4> carrying rollers at its ends. Their rear ends rest on a roller W<a>. The moving bars feed the fuel forward until it drops on the second grate R<11>. This grate may be drawn forward to allow ashes to fall. The apparatus may be automatically regulated in accordance with the variations of pressure in a steam boiler, and the regulator may also control a damper in the flue. The regulator consists of a weighted piston valve o, Fig. 8, exposed below to the pressure of water in the boiler. When the pressure rises above a certain limit, the valve is raised and the water is admitted into a cylinder p and raises the piston therein. This piston operates, by means of the lever r, a belt fork s<3> which controls belt gearing for operating the shaft W<3>, Fig. 2. The lever r is guided horizontally at its upper end, and jointed to a radius link t. Its lower end is connected by suitable means to the damper.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Refuse Destructors and the like.
Inventor: BAKER GEORGE SAMUEL
Filed: 1902-03-27
Granted: 1903-03-27
Abstract: 7495. Baker, G. S. March 27 Refuse-consuming furnaces.-The floor or ledges of the drying chamber or "hopper" A, Fig. 1, from which the refuse descends through the shoot B to the furnace C, is heated by flues through which the products of combustion are passed. The faces of the shoot Bare similarly heated. The gases rising from the drying refuse are drawn off at D' by a fan D and delivered, with air to the ashpit, whence a portion may be led through tortuous passages D' in the furnace crown and delivered into the furnace through perforations adjacent to the outlet C<3> for the products of combustion. Jets of flame from liquid-fuel in. jectors E<1> are delivered into the furnace above the material in it so as to impinge on a depending block E, and thus promote combustion of the material and of the gases arising from it. Similar jets of flame may be delivered against refractory blocks or refractory material on grates situated in the flues away from the furnace ; or they may be used to heat the interior of refractory tubes, among which the products of combustion pass. Fig. 5 shows, in plan, two such jets playing against a stepped half-cone G<2> ; Fig. 6 shows them playing on opposite sides of an arch G<4>, and Fig. 9 shows a grate in the flue supporting refractory material on which injectors J<2> direct jets of flame. These arrangements may serve also to heat steam boilers. Fig. 7 shows a series of refractory tubes H traversing the flue and arranged to be heated internally by the flames and hot gases from an oil furnace H<1>, which are subsequently delivered into the flue at H<2>. In the arrangement of furnace shown in Fig. 1, which represents a transverse section through one of a number of furnaces or cells placed in a row, the products of combustion escaping at C<3> pass through a flue B<2>, which may be divided or made tortuous, and thence by way of a branch flue B<3>, provided with a damper, to a transverse flue, indicated in dotted lines, which runs beneath a side ledge of the chamber A and delivers into the main flue B<7>. The main flue preferably serves for the whole row of furnaces. In a modified arrangement, a second main flue, traversing the whole row of cells, replaces the branch flues B<3> shown in Fig. 1. This flue traverses the side wall of the end cell, and delivers into the end of the main flue which corresponds to the flue B<7>, Fig. 1.
