Patent GB-190328400-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Production of Hydroxides and Oxides of Metals by Electrolysis.
Inventor: HUNT FREDERICK FURNEAUX
Filed: 1903-12-24
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 28,400. Hunt, F. F. Dec. 24. Oxides and hydrated oxides, metallic.-In the production of a metallic hydrate or, where the hydrate does not exist, of an oxide by electrolysis of a (preferably) neutral solution of a salt of an alkali or an alkaline earth between electrodes of the same metal, the polarity of the electrodes is reversed at short intervals to obviate the obstructive condition of the cathode effected by the passage of a steady current. The interval between reversals is made less than the time taken in setting up this condition, and is determined by trial in different cases. The electrolyte is chosen such that its acid radicle forms a salt, soluble in the electrolyte, with the metal of the electrodes, and may be heated. Hydrates are obtained as precipitates in the case of zinc, copper, iron, antimony, &c., and oxides in the case of silver and some of the precious metals. When producing tin hydrate, a solution of common salt is electrolysed at a temperature of from 30‹ C. to 40‹ C. by a current of about 12 to 15 ampÞres per square foot of electrode at a tension of about 2¢ volts, the reversals occurring at intervals of a minute. The oxides &c. obtained may be converted into dry salts by addition of the corresponding acid.

Patent GB-190415226-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of Selecting Electrical Impulses.
Inventor: TROY DANIEL WATTS
Filed: 1904-07-07
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 15,226. Troy, D. W. July 11, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901J. Telegraphs.-Relates to a selective receiving- instrument operative only at a given frequency and phase-displacement in the energizing-currents, this condition being realized by causing a brake effect in the receiving-instrument sufficient to prevent movement except when impulses of suitable frequency and phase are supplied, the brake being then overcome. Field coils 1, 2, Fig. 1, of a rotary-field motor are connected in shunt relation with the receiving-conductor 5 through the inductance 7 and condenser 8, respectively, and the latter are related so as to cause a current phasedifference of 90 degrees in the two field coils for the given frequency. To render the instrument inoperative to foreign frequencies, an electromagnetic brake is provided, consisting of two coils 9, 9<1>, one of which is fixed to the movable member of the motor, and they are so adjusted to the power factor of the motor so as normally to overpower it except at the maximum power for unit current. A greater or less coil angle would necessitate a corresponding phase angle for maximum efficiency, so that one set of phase-displacing means might be used to feed several motors. A local circuit 11, 12, 13 containing any indicating- mechanism, such as a sounder, is adapted to operate whenever the motor overpowers the brake. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, two in-phase coils 15, 15<1> are balanced by two out-of-phase coils 16, 16'. The capacity 17 and inductance 17<1> produce a certain phase-difference between the current in the coil 16<1> and the received current, and the coil 16 is energized by the lagging current in the coil 16 by means of the transformer 18. Only for a definite frequency will the coils 16, 16<1> have their maximum efficiency and overpower the in-phaee coils 15, 15<1> and cause the movement of the lever 20 from the stop 22, which can be indicated by any suitable means. The coils may be replaced by energized discs. In Fig. 3, the coil 35 is shown attached to the free end of the reed 34 of fixed frequency N. The coils 35, 35<1> are supplied with currents differing in phase by 90 degrees at the frequency N<2>, the means being the same as already described and related to the frequency N<2> desired to be selected.

Abstract: 16,988. Koopmann, R., and Cohn, G. Aug. 3. Wardrobes.-In a portable wardrobe or clothespress with two doors, each door d, Fig. 1, is hinged to one side c by two pins k on pieces g screwed to the side, the pins passing into holes in plates at the top and bottom of the door. The back is formed in four pieces, two of which, e, Fig. 5, are hinged to each other and to each side c, in such a manner that, when the bottom a and the top b, Fig. 1, are removed, each half of the back and one side with one door may be folded as shown in Fig. 5. The hinges k allow the door to be folded inwards as well as opened outwards, but, when the wardrobe is erected, the doors are prevented from folding inwards by stops m on the parts a, b. The parts e, f of the back are so hinged together as to exclude dust, and to fold inwards only, and suitable fastenings are used to prevent them from closing in when the wardrobe is erected. Ledges are also formed on the top and bottom parts a, b to overlap the back a short distance and exclude the dust.

Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 17,484. Harrison, W. Feb. 8, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Telegraphs.-In wireless receiving-apparatus, the aerial or aÙrials are so arranged that the effect of the waves in the indicating-circuit will be cumulative. Figs. 1 and 2 show the arrangement. The aerials, which may be increased to any number, are arranged askew to the direction of the waves, so that no parts will be in shadow, and are connected in series by conductors m in radial alignment with the source. Each aerial is formed in U-shaped sections corresponding to the wave lengths and supported on posts placed at the required distances apart. The units a, c, e are thus in phase, and also the units b, d, f although opposite to a, c, e, but all are in phase as regards the indicating-circuit p, q, r, o. The system of units may also be employed in an oscillator.

Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 20,356. Goldschmidt, R. July 28, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Clutches.-Relates to a form of clutch especially applicable for motor road vehicles when the driving and driven shafts are co-axial. The driving-shaft a carries a flywheel c, hollow on one side. The hollow side is covered by a plate clutch e bolted at o to the flywheel and having a central sleeve extending over the driven shaft f. The driven shaft f is recessed at the end to form a bearing for a projection v on the driving-shaft a, and has a squared boss f<1> with chamfered edges to engage in a square hole g<1> in the centre of a loose clutch disc g. The disc g may be gripped between the plate e and an annular disc h, which is carried by rods e pivoted to lever links k. The links k have heels n to bear on the bolts o, and also rollers at the outer ends to bear on the sliding cone i. The cone i is forced outwards into the active position of the clutch by spring r, and is moved inwards by the action of a pedal, the action of the springs s steadying this motion. Gradual throwing in of the clutch without heating may be ensured by the injection of water.

Title: Improved Method and Means for Eliminating or Reducing the Influence of Disturbing Currents on Telephone Circuits.
Inventor: JACOBS CHARLES MARK
Filed: 1905-02-01
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 2030. Jacobs, C. M. Feb. 1. Telegraphs ; telephone systems.-Relates to methods of overcoming the disturbing influence of telegraphic and low-frequency currents on telephone receivers, particularly in the case of simultaneous telegraphy and telephony. In Fig. 1, a transmitter band receiver i are shown, the latter bridging across a Wheatstone bridge having non-inductive and inductive resistances h, h<1> and g, g', respectively. These resistances may be balanced for steady currents so that the receiver will only be affected by high-frequency currents. Fig. 2 illustrates another method in which a condenser k is inserted. The receiver coils m are shunted by the low-resistance coil n, possessing a high inductance, the effect of which is to permit the passage of the low-frequency currents and compel the more rapidly vibrating currents to pass through the receiver. The condenser may be replaced by a " phonopore " coil ; in another modification, the telephone receiver may be wound with the phonopore coil with or without the shunting inductance coil n.
