Title: Improvements in and relating to Stoppers or Plugs for Detecting the Fraudulent Refilling of Bottles.
Inventor: JULIEN RAMON GABARRO
Filed: 1903-11-11
Granted: 1904-09-01
Abstract: 24,454. Julien, R. G. Nov. 11. Stoppers; refilling, preventing and detecting.-Fig. 1 shows the construction of a stoppering arrangement for bottles, jars, and the like, adapted to detect refilling. The stopper plug 1 is secured by spring catches 2, 3 in the neck of the bottle, and is formed underneath with a chamber 11 containing a valve 15 fitted with a spindle 9 passing out at the top of the stopper. The wall 13 of the chamber at one side is set inwards and perforated, as shown. The valve 15 closes down upon a conical tube 20 supported in the bottle neck by a collar 21 ledged in the neck. The tube 20 is encircled by a receptacle consisting of an outer cylindrical part 23, and an inner conical part 24, the bottom rising at one side to form a chamber 28 between the tube 20 and the bottle neck. In the chamber 28 are placed coloured test bands, and a transparent cover-plate 27 is placed at the side. To pour out the contents, the bottle is inclined with the perforated wall 13 on the lower side, and the valve is withdrawn from its seat by drawing out the valve-spindle 9 against the action of the spring 18. The liquid escapes through the perforated wall into the space 14 outside, and thence out by the passages 6, 4 leading therefrom, the stopper 4<1> having been removed. In an attempt to refill the bottle by the passage 4, the liquid passes into and fills the receptacle 23, and flows over the top of the cone 24 into the chamber 28. The test papers change colour immediately, so that by means of an inscription on the bottle, or on a transparent plate 30, the attempt to refill the bottle is indicated. A conical cap 31 is fixed to the top of the tube 20, covers the opening at the top of the conical part 24, and prevents access to the test chamber 28 of liquid during pouring, and diverts any drippings into the receptacle 23. A modified arrangement to prevent refilling, described in the Provisional Specification, consists in securing a solid glass, porcelain, or other plug by spring bolts in the neck of a bottle above the ordinary cork. The bottle neck requires to be broken before the cork can be extracted and the bottle opened.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Tyres for Bicycles, Motor Cars and other Road Vehicles, and of other Articles having a Rubber Core and a Rubber Covering.
Inventor: KENT RICHARD ALLEN
Filed: 1904-01-06
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 356. Kent, R. A. Jan. 6. Tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.-Tyres for bicycles, motor cars, and other road vehicles, and other articles having a rubber core and a rubber covering are made by expanding a core C until it completely fills a mould D', then removing the core and surrounding it with a fabric covering B and a rubber covering or tread A, which is subsequently vulcanized. The core may consist of sponge rubber mixed with ammonium carbonate, and on heating, a gas is generated and expands the core into a resilient and porous mass. After applying the covers B, A, the tyre is placed in another, or the same mould, and heated to vulcanize the tread. This heating will complete the expansion operation of the core, which operation need not, if desired, be originally perfected. The core may be in the form of a tube, in which case a cord passing through the mould and the core provides for the escape of the enclosed air on expanding the core.

Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 10,923. Murray, J. May 12. Measured quantities, delivering.-A measuring- chamber is discharged to several filter beds in succession by means of a float acting by ratchet gear on the operating-mechanism of valves, the invention being applicable for the periodic supply of effluent from sewage septic tanks or for other purposes. The measuring-chamber A is provided with passages A' leading to the filter beds and closed by valves A<2>, which are connected by rods A<3> to levers B, pivoted on brackets B<4> and having balance buckets B' suspended at their outer ends, these buckets being lighter, when empty, than the valves A<2>. In connection with each bucket is a pipe C opening into a gutter C' in the chamber A and provided with a valve C'. A float D in the tank A is connected by an arm D<3> with a pivoted toothed sector D<6>, engaging with a toothed wheel D<7>, which is loose on the shaft D<8> and carries pawls engaging with ratchets on the shaft D<8>, one with a number of teeth equal to the number (in this case three) of valves A<2>, and the other with one tooth less, this latter being only used when one of the valves is not to be operated. On the shaft D<8> are tappets G<2>, Fig. 3, which by means of cam-wheels G open the valves C<2>. As the tank A fills, the float D rises until one of the valves C<2> is opened. The liquid then flows into the corresponding bucket B' and weighs it down, thus opening the valve A'. A long-tailed valve B' is opened in the bottom of the bucket B<1>, and the liquid flows away by the channel B<3>, but the bucket is prevented from rising by the catch K, which engages with the lever B. When the tank A is empty, the catch K is released by a float L<2> attached to the arm L. The valve A<2> then closes and the tank begins to refill. The tappets G' are attached to the shaft G<8> by discs H provided with holes H<1> to which the tappets G<2> can be attached by bolts, so that the valves C' can be opened in any order desired, or any of them disconnected. Each valve C<2> is surrounded by a cup F<1> with an adjustable ring J at the top, so that the level of liquid in the tank A at which the buckets B' can begin to refill may be regulated.

Title: Improvements in Governors for Engines.
Inventor: MCLEAN HECTOR E
Filed: 1905-06-06
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 11,841. McLean, H. E. June 6. Differential governors.-The governor described is stated to be applicable to all kinds of motors, but is shown as applied to a steam-engine. The main shaft a, Figs. 1 and 2, drives a vertical shaft g through wheels b, c, e, i. A motor m running at a predetermined speed drives wheels k, l on a loose sleeve through a pinion o on the end of the motor shaft n. Between a wheel p, which is fixed to the shaft g, and the wheel k are two bevel pinions u on the same spindles s as spur pinions v, these spindles s being carried by a bracket q having a central orifice. The yoke w has a key z in the boss x which works in a slot 2 in the shaft g. The arms 3, 4 have racks 5, 6 which gear with the pinions v. A lever 14 with a quadrant 16 is actuated by pins 10 in a collar 8 running loose upon the boss x. The quadrant gears with a pinion 17 on the valve spindle. When the engine and motor m are. running at the same speed, the bracket q revolves, carrying with it the pinions v, which do not turn about their axes because the wheels p, k are made to revolve in the same direction. When, however, the speed of the steam-engine varies, the pinions v turn about their axes and so either raise or lower the yoke to, thus varying the steam supply. In this governor a positive gear mechanism is employed which is not likely to get out of order and " the " dependence for governing on centrifugal action " is entirely eliminated."
