Title: Improvements in Gas Purifiers.
Inventor: CUTLER SAMUEL
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 29,474. Cutler, S. Dec. 31. Purifiers. - Relates to purifiers constructed according to the Jager system and such as are described in Specifications No. 19,644, A.D. 1902, and No. 14,970, A.D. 1903. When such purifiers are of large dimensions or when more than one kind of purifying- material is to be used, they may be divided into two or more sections, as shown in plan in Fig. 2. Gas entering at A passes through a distributing-chamber B into inlet conduits C, and thence through the purifying-material into outlet conduits D and a collecting-chamber E. From the chamber E, the gas passes in similar manner through the second section to the outlet J. The purifying-chambers may be arranged in consecutive order longitudinally instead of side by side.

Title: An Improved Method of Producing Matrices and Printing Blocks.
Inventor: ALBERT EUGEN
Filed: 1905-01-26
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 1597. Albert, E. Jan. 26. Electrotype. - Matrices for electrotyping are formed by pressing the lead or other material on the forme or block &c. to be copied, upon parts of the area of the matrix and forme successively, so that less pressure is required. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically a press having a platen a onethird the area of the matrix and forme c, d, which latter are supported on the bed e. The platen or the forme are moved so that the three parts 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 are pressed successively. The platen may consist of several strips or squares &c., the total area of which is a fraction of that of the forme, the platen and forme being moved relatively as required to press the matrix by several successive pressing operations. In order to prevent the lead &c. forming the matrix from yielding unduly near the parts being pressed, the platen a, Fig. 8, is formed with parts f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, &c. adjacent to the main pressing-surfaces a<1>. A soft and elastic layer, such as a number of sheets of paper, may be placed between the platen and the matrix during the pressing.

Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 14,893. Hauberg, S. C. July 12. Step and verticalshaft bearings; lubricating.--A centrifugal machine having a vessel rotating with a spindle is provided with a bearing which enables the vessel to rotate independently when the spindle is retarded. A spherical, conical, or other pivot b on the vessel a has a bearing n in the cupd, which is partly filled with oil.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Consuming Smoke in Furnaces.
Inventor: SCHUBERT BERNARD FERDINAND
Filed: 1905-09-01
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 17,748. Schubert, B. F. Sept. 1. Smoke-consuming. -The products of combustion from steam-boiler and other furnaces, after passing over the fire-bridge, are deflected by means of a pressureactuated sliding " gate or baffle into an auxiliary combustion chamber, where they are subjected to the flames of burners prior to escaping therefrom to the boiler flues. As shown in Fig. 2, the rear of the fire-bridge 11 leads down to a pit-like chamber 15, into which the smoke and gases are deflected when the gate 22 is in the position shown. The gate 22 is raised by a lever 36, Fig. 3, which is operated by a piston 41, working in the cylinder 42, to which air or other fluid under pressure is admitted, at will, by a three-way cock 44. The piston 41 is also connected at the top through a system of rods and levers to a damper 7 in the stack, in such a manner that the damper is opened and the gate raised simultaneously. The burners 19 are arranged tingentially to the walls of the chamber 15 to give the smoke and gases a circular motion. Unconsumed smoke escaping from the chamber 15 is subjected to the flames of burners 61 in the chamber 58. To retard or check the passage of the products of combustion through the chamber 58, a deflector wall 59, which enclosed the chamber 58 at the rear, is provided with pockets 64 formed by each alternate tier of bricks projecting beyond the adjacent tier. Part or the whole of the rear wall 24 of the partition wall 21 is formed in a similar manner. When the fire is incandescent, the gate 22 is lowered and the gases pass over the top of the partition wall 21 to the boiler flues.

Abstract: 22,898. Nicholls, G. R. Nov. 8. Printing; producing magic-lantern slides and transparencies.-A device to enable the negative to be adjusted so that its vertical and horizontal lines will produce such lines parallel to the edges of the lantern slide or the like, consists in applying to the printing frame a screen of glass or other material having horizontal and vertical lines thereon. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a frame b with a small aperture b<1> is hinged to the main board a, having a similar aperture a', the two portions being clamped together by a fastening a<2> with the negative c between them. The frame b allows the passage of a lantern plate d to the back of the negative c.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Friction Driving Gear.
Inventor: HUMMEL JOSEPH
Filed: 1906-03-27
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 7408. Hummel, J. Dec. 27, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable-speed gearing.-Relates to a variablespeed friction driving-gear particularly applied to machines for beating the whites of eggs, cream, &c. Upon the vertical shaft 14 is slidably keyed a friction pinion 5 which is driven by the large wheel 3. The disk wheel 3 fixed on the beltdriven shaft 1 is pressed into engagement with the friction wheel 5 by a spring 9, the pressure of which may be withdrawn for disengagement by turning the small hand-screw 6, when the coiled spring 12 comes into action. The vertical shaft 14 is supported at its lower end on the bracket 2 by a ball bearing in an annular casing 16. At its upper end it may be held by a conical steel pivot as shown in Fig. 3 or, as shown in Fig. 6, by a split truncated cone 18 which may be raised, to adjust for wear, by means of the bolts 20 lifting the plate 19. The keyed roller 5 is connected, by means of a ball bearing in a casing 21 fixed by screws 22 to a cup 23, to a tubular screw 24, which is caused to travel longitudinally by operation of the hand-wheel 25, rotatable in the fixed bracket 26 and forming a nut for the screw, thus serving to move the pinion across the face of the disk 3 to effect a change in the speed at which it is being driven.

Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 10,275. Remmers, T. W. May 3,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Typewriters. - A machine for cutting stencils comprises a rotatable diecarrier bearing a number of spring-supported dies, any one of which can be depressed by means of a hand-lever. In a base 1 provided with feet 2, 3 is mounted a spindle 6 to which is fixed a hub 7 having flanges 8, 9. The flange 9 is provided with a bent-up rim 10 and a flange 11 in which are mounted plungers 12 carrying dies 15. The plungers are provided with collars below the flange 11 and are pressed upwards by springs 14. Fingers 16 projecting from the plungers between lugs 17 guide the dies into coincidence with female dies 18 carried by the flange 8. An arch 20 is supported at one end on the base 1 and rests at the other end on a washer 21. Lugs 22, 23 support an indicator disk 24 over which moves a pointer 25 fixed to the spindle 6. A lever 26, pivoted to the arch 20, is provided with a cam-recess which is engaged by a roller carried by a hand-lever 30. A projection 32 on the lever 26 engages grooves 33 in the plungers, so that when the lever 30 is depressed a plunger is moved down. A roller 34 on the lever 26 passes between bevelled projections 19 and guides the projection 32 into engagement with a groove 33. The material from which the stencils are cut is fed forwards by means of a projection 35 on the lever 26, Fig. 3, which actuates a lever 37 carrying a pawl 38 which advances a ratchet-wheel on a feedwheel 41. The pawl 38 is connected by a spring with an arm 57 on a detent 56. The sheet is guided by an idle wheel 43 and a slotted plate 44 between which and the table 1 the sheet passes. Below the wheels 41, 43 are rollers 46, 47 carried by levers 49, 50 which are connected by a spring 48. By means of a cam 51 on a shaft 52, the levers 49, 50 may be depressed and the rollers 46, 47 moved away from the wheels 41, 43. The diecarrier is prevented from warping by means of a bolt 54, Fig. 2, which rests beneath a shoulder on the flange 8.
