Patent GB-190803498-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Non-refillable Bottles.
Inventor: SCHULTZ WILLIAM LUDWIG
Filed: 1908-02-15
Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 3498. Shultz, W. L. Feb. 16, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Bottles, non-refillable.-A bottle neck is contracted at 13, Fig. 1, to form a seating for a valve 14, which is limited in its movement by wires 20. These wires are made of spring metal and pass through slits 18 in the valve at right-angles to one another, engaging in a groove 12. In addition to the above valve, a float valve 26 and weight 28 are arranged, as shown, in a guide 24, which forms a seating at 25. The guide surrounds the end of the valve 14 and is retained in place by a cork or other washer 23. In a modification, Fig. 2, the guide 24 is dispensed with, and the wires 20 are brought lower to carry a ring 34 which confines and guides the weight 32 on to the valve 31 so that the bottle cannot be filled by slightly tilting it.
Patent GB-190805556-A (GB)
Title: Yarn Testing Apparatus for Testing Single Threads with regard to Elongation and Breaking Strength.
Inventor: LAUTH GEORGES DANIEL
Filed: 1908-03-12
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 5556. Lauth, G. D. March 12, 1907, [date applied jor under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Yarns and threads, testing; reeling-machines.- Yarn is wound on a flat reel by means of a ratchet traverse operated from a crank 5, and each single winding is separately tested by a dynamometer on a carriage 21 operated by a crank 20, which also moves the carriage transversely so as to test each winding successively, the elongation and breaking- strength being automatically recorded on a paper strip. A rod 17 is clamped to the reel so as to separate each winding, and to prevent the tension set up in one from being communicated to the next. A yarn gripper is slidable in, and connected by a spring 31 with, a slide 29, Fig. 4, which is engaged by a stop on a rod 27 so that the yarn is stretched and broken by the dynamometer spring 26, which is compressed as a slide 22 is moved to the right by a crank and connecting-rod 24. The elongation is registered on a paper strip by a projection on a bar 33, which is normally stationary, but is moved by a crank 38 while the yarn is being stretched. When the slide is moved to the right, the spring 31 is compressed, thus moving a pin 40 on the gripper to the left of a slot in the slide 29, and positioning the crank 38 so that it engages with the bar 33. When the yarn breaks, the spring returns the pin 40, thus removing the lever 38 from contact with the recording-bar. The breaking-stress is measured and recorded by a rod 36 which normally moves with the slide, but is moved relatively thereto by a stop on the dynamometer shaft, thus measuring the compression of the spring. When the slide 22 is moved to the right during testing, a stop 25, Fig. 11, allows a plate 51, which is secured to the underside of the carriage, to be moved by a spring 53 through a distance equal to the length of the slots 55, so that the edge b of the slot in the plate is lineable with the edge a of the slot in the upper carriage. On the return motion of the slide, after the yarn is broken, the stop 25 engages the incline c and, since the plate is held by pawls 57, moves the carriage forward to the next winding. The pawls are put in and out of engagement by an eccentric 61. The recording- paper is moved by a ratchet operated by a crank 45, Fig. 5, which also presses the paper into contact with the recording-bars. The crank 45 is operated by an incline l, l<1> which is secured to the slide. The reel is grooved on one side to allow the gripper to hold the yarn. The recording-bars 33, 36 are returned to their initial positions by stops B, A on the slide 22 and carriage.

Title: A New or Improved Process for the Preparation of Sodium Sulphite and Ammonium Chloride.
IPC: C01D5/14
Filed: 1909-05-11
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 11,123. Friedrich et Cie. June 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Ammonium chloride. - Sodium sulphite and ammonium chloride are obtained by passing into a solution or suspension of sodium chloride in water, sulphur dioxide and ammonia in equivalent proportions, either together or in any order. A little sulphur dioxide may be first passed in to prevent loss of ammonia, then the two gases in equivalent proportions, and finally such proportions of the gases as to neutralize the acidity of the solution. The heat of the reaction causes sodium sulphite to precipitate in the anhydrous state, and the solution is then cooled down to about 35‹ C. to crystallize ammonium chloride. The mother liquor, after a suitable addition of sodium chloride, is used again.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Intercommunication Telephone Systems.
Inventor: BURNEY GUY
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 1910-07-30
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 18,180. Burney, G., and Bell, F. G. July 30. Intercommunication systems.-The calling-means in a two-wire intercommunication system consists of a lamp 7 peculiar to the calling station, and a bellrelay or bell 9, which is connected in series with all the lamps 7. The Figure shows the connexions when the station II is calling the station I, the bell-push 12 at station II being depressed. The calling circuit. proceeds from the battery through the relays 22, 15 at station II, contacts 19, 12, jack I at station II, jack II at station I, lamp 7, and bell-relay 9. A circuit for the bell 10 is completed over contact 11, bell 10, and contacts 14, 19 at station II. When the bell-push 12 is released, the bell circuit is broken at the contacts 14, 19; but the lamps 7 remain in circuit, the contact 12, 19 having been shunted by the contact 16 of the relay 15. The relay 22 breaks the circuit of the lamp 20 at the contact 21; but if the called station is busy, and consequently the switch hook contact 8 is not closed, the calling circuit is not completed, and, the relay 22 not being energized, the lamp 20 indicates this fact to the calling station. In a modification, a single-stroke bell is used, with a vibrator at the calling station. In another modification, for use in systems without automatic replacement mechanism, it is arranged that, when a call is received from a station for which a plug has already been inserted, an additional indicating-lamp is brought into circuit through the contacts of the telephone switch. During conversation, this lamp also serves as a resistance shunting the transmitter, so that the hand switch of the telephone instrument may be temporarily released and the transmitter cut out of circuit. This feature is stated to be of advantage in systems in which one of the jacks makes connexion with an outside exchange, the shunted resistance preventing the accidental release of the hand switch from giving the clearing-out signal.
