Patent GB-190427408-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Removing Moisture from Air, more especially intented for Treating Air for Supply to Blast Furnaces, Converters, and the like.
Inventor: HESKETH EVERARD
Filed: 1904-12-15
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 27,408. Hesketh, E., and Brier, H. Dec. 15. Drying air.-Relates to apparatus in which air for blast furnaces, converters, &c. is dried by cooling and deposition of moisture, the incoming warm air being used to thaw some of the snow thus formed in a refrigerator and so parting with most of its moisture, afterwards depositing the remainder in the form of snow in a second refrigerator, and finally passing off after being warmed by the incoming air. Fig. 1 shows in front elevation and section, and Fig. 2 in side elevation, a battery of three such apparatus, two being used at a time and the third held in reserve. Air from the blowing- engines P enters by passages and valves at A and passes through the pipes of a heat-interchanger B, wherein it is cooled by outgoing dry air passing round the pipes. Thence it is directed by a valve T through a refrigerator C, from which the supply of refrigerant has been cut off, and melts the snow on its pipes. The partly-dried air is deflected by valves through an interchanger D, and again by the valve T through a working refrigerator E, where it deposits snow. The dry air passes through the passage F, round the pipes of the interchanger D, through a passage G, round the pipes of the interchanger B, and finally, in its partly-warmed state, traverses a passage H, is heated in stoves Q, and passes to the blast furnace or converter R. The moisture evolved passes off through pipes L and drain taps M without loss of air. The refrigerators J are of any suitable type. The refrigerating- fluid is cooled or condensed in the apparatus K. In another arrangement, the interchanger B is dispensed with, the air passing from the valve A immediately to the refrigerator C. A third device is shown in Fig. 4, in which flap valves are employed and the warmest incoming air heats the cold air passing out to the passage H, only one interchanger being used. In all cases, the valves and refrigerating-apparatus are operated at intervals so as to clear the refrigerators E of snow and to bring the refrigerators C into action in their place.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Tails from Fur.
Inventor: LEWIN SIMON
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 28,143. Lewin, S., and Blumenthal, A. Dec. 22. Trimmings; boas and victorines.-Artificial fur tails are manufactured by placing the hairs of narrow strips of the furs between the jaws of a clamping device and removing the skin by a shaving-knife, a layer of gum or other adhesive being applied to the ends of the roots. After drying, the hairs are removed from the clamp, and the hair band is wound round a cord to form a tail in the ordinary way. Another method consists in arranging alternate strips of woolly and non- woolly furs without removing the skin ; the woolly hairs support the non-woolly hairs and at the same time artificially produce the " under wool."

Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 2258. Webster, C. C. Jan. 29. Sawing.-In a machine for manufacturing printers' leads, strips J of metal are placed upon a truck I, and on being conveyed beneath a number of rotary saws D are cut into short pieces of equal length. A carriage C having a dovetail connexion with the bed B is movable by means of pinions 13, 14, which are rotated through worm gearing 16, 18 and bevel-gearing 25, 26 from a driving-shaft 22. The shaft 19 carrying the worm 18 can be swung down out of engagement with the gear 16, thus throwing the carriage C out of operation. One bearing of the shaft 19 is pivoted about the shaft 22 and the other bearing 21 is carried' by a pivoted arm 28, the free end of which can be locked by a bellcrank lever 36, 37 in such a position that the worm 18 gears with the gear 16. When the handle 36 is lifted, the shaft 19 falls by its own weight, but when raised again is locked automatically. Both the shaft 19 and the bell-crank lever 36, 37 can be operated by handles at either side of the machine. The frame supports a sectional track H consisting of two pairs of rails 47, 48, each adapted to be raised or lowered by swinging arms 49, 50. Stops 55 limit the movement of the arms 50. The truck I, which forms part of the carriage, is removed from the machine for loading or unloading. It has flanged wheels which may run upon the track H, and at the ends of its framework it has a number of mortises into which a series of clamps E may be fitted. Each clamp has a tenon 61, while shoulders 72, 73 and a screw clamp 76 serve to hold the metal strips upon the truck. The sides of the truck I have guards 62 for retaining shavings. The truck, being loaded, is run into the machine on the track H until it meets a stop on the carriage C. The rails 47, 48 are then lowered, and the truck is held solely on the carriage, which is caused to move under the cutters D, the latter passing between the clamps E. At the end of the stroke, the rails 47, 48 are raised and the truck is run out of the machine. The means for securing the truck on the carriage consists of a removable stop 64 and a cam 68 which, on the arm 70 being rotated, comes into operative position.

Title: Improvements in Transmitters for Electro-magnetic Waves
Inventor: SAHULKA JOHANN
Filed: 1906-03-14
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 6219. Sahulka, J. March 14. Telegraphs; telephones.-Transmitters for electromagnetic waves send out wave-trains at very short intervals by the use of a commutator connecting the condensers alternately to a source of current and to the oscillation circuit. A commutator K, of which the alternate lamellae L', L<2> are connected together and to contact-rings R', R', is arranged so that, while one condenser C' is being charged through brushes B', G from the secondary terminals P, N of a source T, another condenser C' is being discharged through brushes B', H into the oscillation circuit u, which may or may not have a spark-gap F. In a modification in which only one condenser is used, the lamellae are made alternately narrow and wide, the narrow ones being included in the charging circuit and the wider ones in the oscillation circuit. Fig. 7 shows two oscillation circuits driven from a single source and single switch. The lamellae-are connected into four separate groups L', L', L<3>, L<4> and joined to four contact-rings, each of which is connected to one terminal of four condensers C<1>, C<2>, C<3>, C<4>. In the position shown in Fig. 7, the condensers C', C' are included in the charging-circuit though brushes G', G<2>, and the condensers C<3>, C<4> are included in the oscillation circuits S<1>, S<2> through brushes H<1>, H', respectively. The oscillation circuits may be tuned to the same or different frequencies by altering the coils S<1>, S<2>. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is adapted for wireless telephony by replacing the alternating-current source by continuous current and connecting the secondary coil consisting of a few turns of a telephone transmitter with the coil in the antenna either in parallel, with or without condensers, or in series. To avoid sparking, across the lamellae, the latter are well separated, or the commutator may be immersed in an oil bath, or the connexions may be so arranged that opposite lamellae are connected, so that intermediate lamellae are not included in either circuit. Specification No. 18,865, A.D. 1900, is referred to.
