Patent GB-190606819-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Dough Moulding Apparatus.
Inventor: CALLOW JOHN
Filed: 1906-03-21
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 6819. Callow, J. March 21. Moulding dough.-Dough-moulding machines are provided with puncturing-devices, which penetrate the lumps of dough during the moulding and so permit of the escape of gases, thus preventing the formation of gas pockets. The lumps are squeezed either during or after the puncturing. Figs. 1 and 2 show, in side and end elevation respectively, a machine of the kind described in Specification No. 26,007, A.D. 1904, in which lumps of dough pass along a trough formed between a travelling belt a and a roller b. A beater or ram c is suspended by rods d from a beam e, which is connected by cranks f to revolving disks g. Puncturing- pins j work through apertures k in the beater c and are fixed in a beam h, which is reciprocated vertically by means of tappets q, mounted on the cranks f and adapted to engage the tops of vertical rods p. The pins j are withdrawn by the action of springs l. n. The lumps of dough are further squeezed by notion of the outer wall of the trough near its end. The trough passes round a drum a', Fig. 3, and its outer wall is formed in parts hioged together at r, s, the end being provided with a slotted bracket t, adapted to slide on a pin u. Motion is imparted to the outer wall from an eccentric v by means of a rod w, bellcrank lever x, and a link y. The invention may be applied to other forms of dough-moulding machines.
Patent GB-190608184-A (GB)
Title: A Surf Actuated Motor.
Inventor: DANFORD TAD
Filed: 1906-04-04
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8184. Danford, T. April 4. Lifting periodically and automatically.-In a motor placed on the beach and adapted to be operated by the receding surf or swell, two standards 2, 5 support sheaves 4, 7 carrying endless chains 8. The chains 8 carry sheaves 9, 10, about which extend two cables 14 fitted with opentopped boxes 15, secured, as shown in Fig. 3, by clips 17 and hangers 16. On the lower side of the boxes are rollers 19 engaging with the inclined track 1 to support the boxes, which, when filled with water, run down the incline and thus rotate the pulley 40 attached to the sheave 10. The position of the boxes between the standards is adjusted by means of gear-wheels 20, 21. Motion is transmitted from the pulley 40 by an endless belt, fitted with the tensioning - arrangements shown, to the clutch drum 27, shown in Fig. 4. The drums 25, 26 and the clutch drum 27 are loosely mounted on a tubular shaft 28, through which passes a rod 29. Pins 30, 31 on the rods 29 pass through slots in the tubular shaft and engage with opposite sides of the drum 27. Rigidly attached to the shaft 28, outside the drum 25, is a ratchet-wheel 32 engaged by a spring-pressed pawl 33 carried by the drum 25, and a similar ratchet 34 gears with a pawl 35 carried by the drum 26. The inner sides of the drums 25, 26 have teeth designed to engage ratchet teeth on the sides of the drum 27. A cable 49, passing through an eye 50 on.an angle-lever 51, carries a weight 52 and a block 53. The upper part of the lever 51 engages the lever 54, which presses against one end of the rod 29. Attached to the drum 26 is a similar cable and corresponding parts, and the rod 29 is thus moved in the opposite direction. In operation, the buckets are filled by the incoming surf, and, as it recedes, the weight of water in the buckets causes them to move down. As shown in Fig. 4, this downward motion causes a winding motion of the drum 25, the corresponding weight being raised. The other drum 26 is rotated under the action of the falling weight, and the shaft 28 is thus driven. When the collar 53 engages the lever 51, the clutch wheel 27 is moved into engagement with the drum 26, thus leaving the drum 25 free to operate the shaft 28 as the weight 52 falls.

Title: A Method of Producing Bas Reliefs for Decorative Purposes and for the Production of Photographs and Printed Matters with Relief like Effects.
Inventor: NAMIAS RODOLFO
Filed: 1907-02-21
Granted: 1908-02-21
Abstract: 4361. Namias, R. Feb: 21. Ornamenting by photography; producing photoreliefs and photographs showing relief effects.- Relates to the production of bas-reliefs for decorative and other purposes. A glass plate is coated with gelatin, sensitized, and exposed under a negative, or diapositives which are produced from drawings or photographs worked up in a special manner. The clare-obscure effects should be independent of the colour of the subject, and the intensity of the tones should be only proportional to the height of the relief to be produced. The exposed gelatin plate is developed by water or by a saline bath, and is hardened by alum or formalin. Such reliefs are used for obtaining matrices of plaster, wax, or celluloid according to the extent of hardness, and like purposes. Sulphate or chromate of barium is added to the gelatin to give a light coloured bas-relief. Such bas-reliefs may be reproduced and give photographs showing relief effects, and these reproductions may be used for obtaining printing or moulding blocks, and generally for ornamenting purposes. In reproducing drawings executed with hatchings, the plate after exposure is steeped in water for some time, 'then rolled with stiffish ink, which will take only on the exposed hardened parts. The plate is again steeped in water, or preferably a saline solution, by which the parts not inked are washed away. Such reliefs do not reproduce very rounded off contours of drawings but reproduce fine corners, points, and lines. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specifications No. 6690, A.D. 1894, No. 14,814, A.D. 1898, Nos. 10,948 and 18,210, A.D. 1902, and No. 3457, A.D. 1904.]
