Patent GB-191125446-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrical Alarm Apparatus for Cash Boxes, Jewel Boxes and like Receptacles.
Inventor: DOWNING GEORGE
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 1911-11-15
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 25,446. Downing, G., [trading as Henry & Co.], and Moulton, P. S. Nov. 15. Theft alarms.-Relates to an alarm for boxes &c. in which disturbance of the box closes an alarm circuit, and the operation of the alarm allows a second switch in parallel with the first to close and so prevent stopping of the alarm. Movement of the box causes a metal ball 19, normally balanced on a metal pin 20, to roll against a surrounding ring 22, as shown in dotted lines, and so complete the circuit of the alarm, which consists of an ordinary electric bell movement striking the side of the box. The stem of the bell-hammer has a tooth normally detaining a spring blade; when it moves, the spring is released and rests against a metal post, thus permanently closing the alarm circuit. A metal ring 26 electrically connected to the pin 20 restricts the movement of the ball in case the box is inverted. In order to stop the alarm and reset it, the crank 33 is turned to the right, whereby the crank 36 is caused to raise the ring 38 and the ball with it, at the same time re-engaging the spring contact with its detent. On returning the crank 33 to its original position, the ball is left balanced on the pin 20, the upper end of which is slightly hollowed. A wire is wound round the ring 22 to ensure a good contact.

Title: Improvements in Profiling Machines for Metal.
Inventor: HANSON BENGT MAGNUS WILHELM
IPC: B23Q35/10
Filed: 1911-12-08
Granted: 1912-12-09
Abstract: 27,596. Hanson, B. M. W., and Grohmann, C. L. Dec. 8. Milling-machines.-A profiling-machine has an oscillatory work-support and a stationary cutter, and can be used, by inverting the cutter and tracer spindles, for shaping patterns from work pieces as well as for shaping the work. For this purpose the tool is replaced by a pin 180, and the tool slide is laterally adjusted to bring the pin into contact with the inner contour of the work. The copying-pin is removed and replaced by a spindle having a cutter 184 at one end and a driving-pulley at the other end, and the slide 43 is then adjusted transversely to bring the tool against the metal blank to be operated upon, which is secured below the table to rotate with it. The work-table is in this case held against the pin 180 during rotation of the work-table, and for this purpose the weight 35 should be attached on the opposite side of the machine.

Title: Improvements in Radiators Adapted to Cool the Circulating Water of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MORRIS GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: F28D1/02
Filed: 1912-02-01
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 2638. Morris, G. W. Feb. 1. Cooling water.-In a radiator adapted to cool the circulating water of internal-combustion engines, the water flows in contact with air successively over inclined shelves 14 which extend from opposite walls of a casing 5 and overlap each other. The water is delivered to the top shelf by a perforated pipe 18 and is returned to the engine by the pipe 23. Air enters the casing by the opening 6, into which the water-supply pipe projects, and is drawn through the apparatus in the same direction as the water by a fan 9, flowing through an opening in the lower part of the casing and by a passage 8 to the fan chamber. To cause the water to flow transversely across the current of air and to lengthen the flow of the water, strips 16 extend in a diagonal direction along the upper surface of the shelves.

Title: Improvements in Combing Machines.
Inventor: LUNN ROBERT HOWARD
IPC: D01G19/26
Filed: 1912-02-22
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 4425. Lunn, R. N. Feb. 22. Combing-machines. - The detaching-rollers of Heilmann and like combing - machines are driven through a differential gear combined with a cam or eccentric and with a source of uniform motion. The usual rocking-segment E operated by the cam F imparts, through the medium of the shaft D and gear - box G, the necessary reciprocation to the shaft C of the detaching-roller. C o ntinuous rotary motion is also imparted to the gear-box from the comb shaft A by gearing a<1> ... a<4>. The resultant motion imparted to the detaching-roller is thus, during one movement of the segment E, the sum of two rotations, and during the return movement of the segment, the difference of the two rotations. The cam F is so shaped that, for a part of the time, the two rotations neutralize one another. The segment may be done away with and the shaft D oscillated by an arm, the end of which is moved by the cam.

The controlnumber type-wheel 5 is attached by bars to a disk 10, both being fast to the shaft 3 and the whole carrying a magnet 12, the armature 13 ot which is attached to a lever 14 carrying a pawl 18 to drive the time-wheel. A pair of pins 45, 46 engaging the teeth of the time-wheel prevent irregular movement. Two slots are provided for receiving the card, the ' entry ' slot bringing the card opposite the control-number wheel 5 and the day-wheel 8 only, the ' exit ' slot bringing it opposite the day, control-number, and time-wheel 7. The day-wheel is set by gearing from a pinion 26 operated by a detachable key, and carries a cam engaging a lever carrying a card support 30. The platen 37 is carried by a spring-urged lever 35 operated by a hand-lever 41. At entry, the workman turns the crank to bring the timewheel 7 to the zero position, which is determined by a lug on the wheel meeting a stop-lever 42. The control number then printed is brought to the printing position at exit by bringing the number on a setting-wheel 6 opposite a pointer 44 on the casing.

Abstract: 20,899. Leigh, A. G. Sept. 13. Bag filters; filters, cleansing; supplying liquid in connexion with filters.-Apparatus specially suitable for treating sewage, trade effluent, &c., comprises a cloth or similar fabric 3 arranged in folds on frames 5 constructed as shown in Fig. 3. The liquid is supplied through passages 48, 9 to a passage 6 having orifices 49, and after passing through the filter-cloth is discharged over a weir 28 to a trough 32 and outlet pipe 26. Solid matter settles in a container 1 of pyramidal form to correspond with the lower part 4 of the chamber. The container 1 has a tubular extension 14 connected to a valve 2, which seats upwards against a tubular extension 17 of the chamber. When sufficient solid matter has collected in the container, its weight forces the container down and opens the valve against the pressure of a weighted lever 18. The solid matter is then discharged through the part 14 and apertures in its sides to a channel 12 leading to a sludge well or storage tank. A reverse cleansing flow may take place through the filter-cloth when the valve 2 is opened, the normal supply being simultaneously shut off by means of a valve 34 connected to the lever 18 by rods 36, 37. The valve 2 may be operated by a float 24 in the channel 48 arranged to open the valve when the supply of liquid is abnormal.
