Title: Improvements in Roasting Appliances for Meat Game Poultry or the like
Inventor: DOXAT ALEXIS CHARLES
Filed: 1907-11-14
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 25,267. Doxat, A. C. Nov. 14. Basting appliances, -Apparatus for basting meat &c. suspended from a jack b in a roaster a comprises an endless chain &c. n, to which are hinged one or more gravy buckets o provided with a curved spout by which the gravy carried up from the wellf is discharged on to a grooved board c when the bucket is passing over the upper sprocket-wheel j. The buckets are hinged at one side to the chain, and have a projection on the opposite side of the mouth to keep the mouth in a vertical plane as it enters the gravy, and so prevent the buckets from being air-locked. The wheel j is driven by clock-work in the case h, provided with a high-speed fly escapement made of metal foil so that it can be bent to offer a varying resistance to rotation and thus vary the speed of the clock - work. The well f is semicylindrical in shape, its mouth projecting above the level of the inclined pan e and having perforations round the upper edge to allow the gravy to flow in from the pan, which may be removable. Two or more chains with buckets driven from one motor may be used for basting two or more joints carried by separate jacks or by a single horizontal shaft or spit. According to the Provisional Specification, one or more buckets may be carried by one or more balanced arms mounted on a rotating shaft, and when chains or belts are used a reversing- mechanism may cause the buckets to travel alternately in opposite directions, the buckets being filled and emptied by coming against stops which tilt them.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Filling and Exhausting the Pressure Cylinders of Hydraulic Presses whilst under Pressure.
Inventor: ASTFALCK WILAND
Filed: 1908-06-17
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 12,982. Astfalck, W. June 17. [Patent of Addition to No. 24,451, A.D. 1906.] Hydraulic presses. - The pressuredistributing means described in Specification No. 24,451, A.D. 1906, as suitable for single-acting hydraulic presses is modified for use with doubleacting presses. An auxiliary cylinder B containing a piston m is used in conjunction with the main cylinder A which contains a piston e. The controlling-device E, which governs the auxiliary cylinder B, comprises two valves 5, 6. The controller F comprising valves 3, 4 governs the controller G, which itself governs the circulating system to the main cylinder A. The valves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are operated by a rod and lever a, b common to all. The positions of the lever b for no pressure and preliminary pressure and final high pressure for right and left hand movements are indicated at I, II ... V. With the lever b in the position IV, valves 1, 2, 6 are open and 3, 4, 5 are closed, the preliminary pressure for motion to the left being obtained. Water on the left of the piston m in the cylinder B will then flow through the pipe i and valve 6 to the discharge conduit d, and pressure water from the conduits c, k will move the piston m to the left, the piston e participating in this movement. Water on the left of e passes through the pipe f, valve 2, valve box G, valve 1, and pipes h, p, to the right of the cylinder A. When the lever b is in the position V, the highpressure water still acts on the right of the piston m and also flows through the open valve 4 and pipes n, p, to the right side of the piston e. The water forced by the piston e during the pressing operation passes through the pipe f, valve 2, valve box G, and overflow valve H to the discharge conduit d. The positions II and III of the lever b correspond to movement of the piston to the right under preliminary and final pressure respectively.

For this purpose the printing- frame is fitted with diverging mirrors in conical or pyramidal form, so as to secure an abundance of lateral light. In copying lined screens, the mirrors are arranged parallel to the lines of the screen, the transverse mirrors being omitted. An alum or water trough may be fitted over the frame to exclude heat rays.

Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 24,943. Belliss & Morcom, Wigley, J., and Walshe, J. M. Nov. 19. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Compound and multiple-expansion engines ; slide valves.-In a compound engine having cylindrical high and low pressure valves mounted on one spindle, the high-pressure valve is the further from the crank-shaft, and is of larger diameter than the low-pressure valve, and is rotated to vary the cut-off. As shown in Fig. 1 the high-pressure valve c and the low-pressure valve e are mounted on a common rod i, and work in a valve-chest between the high-pressure cylinder a and the low-pressure cylinder f. When the valves are in their highest position, 'steam passes from the supply passage b to the upper end of the cylinder a through triangular ports d<1> past the serrated edge of the valve c. At the same time steam from the lower end of the cylinder a exhausts beneath the lower edge of the valve c to the interior of the valve-chest, and passes beneath the edge e<2> of the valve e to the lower end of the cylinder f, while the upper end of the cylinder f exhausts into the space h. When the valves are in their lowest position the reverse actions take place. In order that the valve c may be rotated to vary the cutoff it is mounted on a sleeve p between washers on the rod i. Horns o on the valve engage a fork j mounted on a spindle which can be rotated by hand or by the governor through an arm m and a link n.

Abstract: 2221. Parsons, C. A. Jan. 29. Heating parts.-To provide for the heating of a turbine spindle in order to maintain a predetermined clearance in the packings of the gland and dummy piston, the hollow spindle chamber described in Specification 15,060/05 is extended into the part of the spindle in the gland and is connected to a lantern space in the gland, so that the heating-fluid passes between the chamber and the lantern space, circulation being preferably kept up by connecting the chamber with a part of the turbine at a lower pressure. The chamber d in the end of the spindle a extends into the part surrounded by the gland e which has an annular chamber f connected to a lantern space g, which is supplied with steam at suitable pressure. The chamber f communicates with the chamber d by radial holes h, while other radial holes i, preferably smaller, are provided nearer the end of the gland to communicate with the interior of the drum; which is at a lower pressure than the lantern space g. The chamber a is closed by means such as a screwed plug engaging with a threaded part k. The equalization of expansion for unequal temperature or pressure of the fluid used for supply, and in the lantern space, may be obtained by varying the size of the chamber d. Alternatively, the steam may be led from the supply pipe or from an independent source into the chamber d and allowed to escape, either to the atmosphere or to the interior of the turbine, from the lantern space g.
