Title: Improvements in Bottle Seals.
Inventor: BARNES JOHN EDWARD LLOYD
Filed: 1904-11-19
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 25,170. Barnes, J. E. L., [Crown Cork and Seal Co.]. Nov. 19. Stoppers; capsules, bottle.-The stopper or seal G, Figs. 1 and 3, consists of a sheet-metal cup J and an annular washer K, the cup having a flange H extending over the washer. When the closure is applied and pressed down on the bottle mouth, the washer is compressed in the angle M of the closure into the form shown in Fig. 3, and forms a tight joint, the closure being secured by pressing the lower portion of the cup outwards at intervals, as shown at N, Fig. 3, to engage under the internal shoulder F on the bottle neck. The outer edge of the Hange H is preferably bent downwards, as shown, to confine the washer. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the closure is secured by expanding the cup so as to form a continuous bead 0 engaging under the shoulder F<1>, which is made more abrupt. than the shoulder F, Fig. 3. In a modification, the flange H extends only part way over the washer. Instead of being secured internally, the closure may be secured by beading a cupped exten sion of the flange H under an external shoulde. on the bottle neck. In this case, the depending part J may be expanded at its lower part to hold the washer ; or, it may be separate from the cap, as shown in Fig. 13.

Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 25,580. Brampton, F. W. Nov. 24. Wooden wheels; building wheels.-Wheels for artillery carriages, motor wagons, &c. are built up of segments A with the central portion a<4> hollowed out to form spokes, and with the grain running radially. The segments, when assembled, are compressed, preferably by being placed under the ram R, Fig. 4, of an hydraulic press and forced down through the conical die D. The wheel expands slightly into the tyre T at the bottom. Provision for rubber tyres is made by fixing side-plates round the sides of the felloes and removing the tyre T.

Inventor: LAYTON ABEL M
Filed: 1905-07-31
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 15,638. Layton, A. M. July 31.

Patent GB-190519015-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus suitable for use in the Distribution of Electric Current.
Inventor: BERRY ARTHUR FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-09-20
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 19,015. Berry, A. F. Sept. 20. Distributing; switches.-Electro-magnetic switches such as are described in Specifications Nos. 2096, 11,363, 19,749, 22,164, and 22,369, A.D. 1904, for cutting in and out supplementary transformers and for other purposes, are controlled by thermal devices responsive to the main current and acting, according as there is an underload or overload, to complete a secondary circuit through one or other of the windings of the electro-magnetic switch. The thermal bodies are either solid or liquid, and may either carry the main current or a fraction of it, or may be heated by adjacent coils. Fig. 1 shows the arrangements for a one phase or continuous current. An expansible bar 1, placed in circuit with a primary lead a, moves a pivoted arm 3 and carries a contact 9 connected with a secondary lead c against one of the contacts 11, 12, thus completing circuit through one of the windings 13, 14 of the electro-magnetic switch to the opposite secondary lead d. If the winding 13 is energized, the switch-bar 17 previously horizontal is turned to the position shown, opening the circuit of the winding 13 only. Subsequent excessive current in the lead a will bring the contacts 9, 12 together and send current to the winding 14, which will then tilt the switch bar 17 the other way, cutting off the current from the winding 14, but leaving the bar 17 upon the contact 15. In a slightly modified form, several expansible bars are used, laid parallel, and the rectilinear motion is multiplied by a pin-and-slot device. A similar arrangement is applicable to polyphase currents, one lead passing through each of the bars. Another modification has the thermal device in a separate closed circuit inductively supplied by a shunt to the main lead. In the latter case, the shunt or inductively-energized conductor is preferably made of material the resistance of which increases with the temperature, and the shunted part of the main lead preferably of material having a zero or negative temperature coefficient. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, main alternating current coils 1 surround a vessel containing mercury 10<a> and terminating in a bent tube 23<a> closed at the other end. The mercury is heated by the currents induced in it. Another portion of mercury 9<a> occupies the lowest part of the tube, the two portions being separated by a liquid such as glycerine 6<a>. The closed end 23<c> is charged with gas under pressure. Platinum terminals 11, 12 respectively connected to the windings 13, 14 receive current, according as the current through the coils 1 is above or below the normal, from one or other of a pair of constantly immersed terminals connected to a secondary lead c. To delay the action of the thermal device under an overload while allowing it to respond quickly to an underload, a double valve 24, having a large hole opening upwards and a small hole opening downwards, is placed between the two portions of mercury.

Abstract: 24,764. Hillam, T. Nov. 30. Looms, checking shuttles in ; stop-motions.-In order to vary the fores of the spring a which acts on the finger c of the stop-rod d in a fast-reed loom, it is made flat or laminated and is carried in a metal base-plate g secured to the lay-board by a central fixing-screw h. The base-plate has quadrant slots for fixing-screws k, which force the covering- plate m against the plate g. By turning the spring about the pivot h, it may be moved nearer to or further from the fulcrum of the finger c. This finger is in contact with the swell/, as usual.

Abstract: 5160. Schwartz, M. March 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Armatures; field magnets. - The armature of a generator, mounted to revolve upon a vertical axis, has conductors wound helically so as to be inclined to the vertical, and elongated pole - pieces with their axes correspondingly inclined so that they are parallel to the adjacent parts of the armature winding. A step bearing 3 supports the armature 4 mounted upon the vertical shaft 5, within a square frame 1 each side of which is provided with a pole-piece 6 projecting into proximity with the armature, The poles are inclined at about fortyfive degrees, and their faces are rounded so as to conform to the shape of the armature body. The armature is wound with conductors disposed in helices so inclined that they are substantially parallel with the inclined poles which they pass. The back-drag upon the conductors has a component vertically upwards which relieves the step bearing of the weight of the armature. Any desired number of poles may be used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Filter Presses.
Inventor: EKENBERG MARTIN
Filed: 1906-03-16
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 6363. Ekenberg, M. March 16. Filter-pressesstraining liquids.- The filtering o straining walls o: the container s o: a piston press are built up of thin flexible plates 4, of metal or non-absorbent material pressed together by cap and base-piece! 2, 1, connected by bolts 5. The material to be treated is introduced from the pipe 13, Fig. 3, through the inlet 15, and liquid is forced between the plates 4 by the piston 6. The back of each plate has recesses 8, Fig. 6, which register with grooves 9 on the side plates 3, Fig. 7. The liquid is thus led away to channels 10 and an outlet 11. Fig. 1 shows two presses the pistons 6 of which are attached to a shaft 22 operated by hydraulic pressure on a piston 21 in the cylinder 20. Pipes 23, 24 connect respectively the upper and lower ends of a piston chamber 19 for the inlet valve 16 of the press A<2> with the lower and upper ends of a corresponding chamber 19 of the press A<1> ; and branch pipes 23<a>, 24<a> connect the pipes to either end of the piston chamber 20. With this arrangement, the valve 16 of each press is opened or closed as the piston leaves or enters the press. The side of the press chamber opposite the piston is closed by any suitable means until a cake of solid material has been formed. The cake itself then acts as a plug as it is continually discharged through the opening. The opening may be crossed by screws which break up the cake and increase the pressure necessary for the discharge. In a simpler form of press, the inlet valve is controlled by hand.
