Patent GB-190507003-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Automatically, Igniting and Extinguishing Gas Lamps.
Inventor: HINDEN ADOLF
Filed: 1905-04-03
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 7003. Hinden, A. April 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Valves controlled from a distance.- A valve is operated by temporary increases of pressure in the mains, and the gas is ignited electrically. The supply pipe e, Fig. 2, and the igniter supply pipe q are fixed to a bell float or diaphragm band have their lower ends dipping into mercury or other suitable liquid. Increase of pressure raises the bell float or diaphragm and with it the two supply pipes, which emerge from the mercury so that gas can pass to the burner. At the upper end of the supply pipe e is the enlarged nozzle g, which at the moment of ignition partially closes the air inlets and so reduces the danger of lighting back. To prevent a fall in the pressure from cutting off the gas when not desired, wire holders l pivoted to the top of the diaphragm or bell float b have a balance weight m. Fig. 5, which tends to turn the holders to the left. Attached to the upper part h of the casing is a device consisting of a number of cells s<1>, s<2>, s<3> in which the holders l engage after successive rises in pressure. Shallow cells as s<1>, s<2>, Fig. 5, hold the bell float in such a position that the igniter supply pipe q is immersed but the main pipe e, which terminates higher up, is not, whereas deep cells as s<3>, Fig. 5, allow the bell float to descend and extinguish the main flame. The igniting- battery, Fig. 8, is divided into two spaces by a bell insertion t reaching nearly to the bottom. Increase of pressure of gas in the pipe v causes the liquid to rise in the outer space and so to make contact with the zinc electrode u, when a current flows and ignites the gas. As a modification, a permanent pilot-jet takes the place of the igniter jet.

June 17. - - Carpets and the like, beating.-A receptacle or chest, made solid and portable as in Fig. 3, or collapsible for attachment to a wall as in Fig. 5, is provided with a sloping top d, formed with apertures, or of lattice-work. The carpet is placed with the dusty side downwards on the top or between this and a canvas cover g, and either it or the cover is beaten so that the dust falls into the receptacle and is caught in a tank i containing water and a disinfectant. The carpet may be placed on a support, and, after beating, may rest on a support b either adapted to draw out from the frame, or rigidly attached to it, or separate from it. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the top is supported from a pivot 5 on the wall, and held in place by a jointed arm 1, 2, pivoted to the wall at 3, the jointed frame being covered with canvas. According to the Provisional Specification, the bottom of the receptacle may itself hold water, and downwardly-directed jets of water may assist in laying the dust ; in some cases the receptacle may be divided into two parts by a partition so that one side of the top may be used alone without escape of dust.

The target a rests on a bracket n secured to an horizontal bar o and is held in the upright position by a pivoted hook h engaging with a plate b mounted on the face of the target towards the marksmen. A pivoted lever c, carrying an arm d normally holding the hook h in engagement with the plate b, is prevented from rising under the action of a spring e by a stop l screwing into the plate b. When the target is struck, the vibration causes the lever c to slip from under the stop l and it then rises and disengages the hook h, thus allowing the target to fall under the action of gravity and a spring m. The targets may be arranged in rows on horizontal bars o. Locking-wedges p are inserted between the levers c and bent arms k projecting from the plates b to prevent premature release of the targets, and are withdrawn before the firing commences by branch cords attached to a main cord leading to the shelter. For elbow or kneeling targets, the plates b are prolonged upwards, as shown in Fig. 4.

Abstract: 1258. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. Jan. 22, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; steering.-An aerial machine is provided with a single pair of deformable planes f, fixed to a body e of the same form as that described in Specification No. 28,034, A.D. 1907, and a vane o, adjustable about a vertical and an horizontal axis, is placed at the rear. The tips of the planes f are connected by stays g, g<1> to the ends of a rod h below the machine, which is mounted on a rotatable rod i. The vane o, Fig. 4, is formed with a tubular edge q, through which passes a rod r carrying an arm s connected, through universal joints u, wand rods, with an operating-lever x. The tube q has a depending rod 1 fixed to it, which is connected by links 2, 4 to a second lever 5. The lever 5 is also connected by a link 6. sliding square 7, and rods 8, 9 to the upper end of the rod i. By moving the lever x to the right or left, the vane o is rotated by the arm s so as to raise one side and depress the other for steering in an horizontal plane. By moving the lever 5 to the front or rear, the vane o tilts about its axis q so as to lower or raise its rear part. If the lever 5 is moved to the left or right, the rod i is rotated, and the planes f are deformed by depressing the rear edge of one plane and the front edge of the other plane. In a modified form, two pairs of aeroplanes A, B, Fig. 3, are mounted on the beam a, as in the Specification referred to, and both pairs of aeroplanes are deformable by the stays g, g<1> and the rods h. The rear pair of vanes is mounted similarly to the rudder o and fulfils the same functions as the rudder. In order to control the longitudinal equilibrium and the ascent or descent of the machine, the two pairs of planes may be capable of rotating about their transverse axes, and may be controlled by the mechanism described in the above-mentioned Specification.
