Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 3195. Barr, J. M. March 7, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. switches.-A switch for automatically inserting a resistance 9 in the armature circuit of a motor 10 when the latter acts as a generator comprises contacts 8, 12 bridged by a brush 13 secured to the core 1 of an etectro-magnet having two coils 2, 3. The coil 2 is connected across the leads 4, 5 of a three-wire or other multi-voltage system, and the coil 3 between the lead 4 and the terminal 8. When the motor acts as a generator, the current in the'coil 3 is reversed, the magnetic fields of the two coils neutralize one another, and the brush 13 drops, thereby inserting the resistance 9 in the armature circuit.

Title: An Improvement in Employees' Time Registers.
Inventor: HOWARD FRANK MUNCASTER
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 7110. Howard, F. M. March 24. Date and time printing stamps.- Relates to improvements in workmen's time - recorders of the kind described in Specification No. 29,195, A.D. 1904, which comprise two-colour printing by ink ribbon, and reversing means for the ribbon feed. The inkribbon rollers X, Figs. 1 and 2, are slid along their spindles by projections P<2> on sleeves P, which have arms engaging forked levers O on the shaft J<1> rotated by a feathered sliding sleeve J. The latter is positioned for actuation shortly before the time desired by one or other of a spring-coupled pair of arms G, E, adapted to engage shoulders on the sleeve, being tripped by a double snail cam H when permitted by arranged notches on one or other of a pair of disks A, A' engaging corresponding projections on arms F, D connected to the arms G, E. The disks A, A<1> are rotated once in twelve hours by pins A<2>, Fig. 5, in the minutes - printing wheel B engaging carried toothed wheels C. The sleeve thus positioned presents one or other of the projections L to the feet M of a forked plunger N, which is thrust downwards against a spring by a lever S, when a foot S' on the latter is struck by a slide R arranged in the centring-wheel Q'. Thus, at the correct moment the centring-knife operates the slide R, lever S, and plunger N so as to rotate the shaft J' and shift the ink ribbon. The latter is operated by winding-means as described in the prior Specification, but the reversing-mechanism is actuated by a knot or bead on a cord carried by sleeves U', Fig. 6, having crown-wheels U assembled on the sleeves T<1> of the crown-wheel T by split rings U<2>; the sleeve T' is secured to the fixed spindle by a nut T3. The ribbon bobbin is in two parts secured by a split pin Z and slides on the sleeve T<1>, a key W ensuring rotation.
Patent GB-190607520-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process or Method for the Manufacture of Artificial Hemp-bast and the like.
Filed: 1906-03-28
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 7520. Vereinigte Kunstseidefabriken Akt.-Ges. Jan. 2, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Materials, special.-Artificial hemp bast for use in hat-making &c. is made by binding together threads or filaments of silk, artificial silk, taffeta, mercerized cotton, viscose silk, &c. by drawing them through a binding-agent such as collodion, dissolved cellulose, or viscose, fixing the binding- agent by drying or by drawing through acids, and winding the strip of filaments on a reel. The dull sheen and colour of the natural hemp bast is imitated by adding to the binding-agent, before, during, or after the manufacture of the strips, a substance that will dull the gloss of the filaments, such as baryta, pulverized chalk, zinc oxide, amorphous sulphur, or the like, and a suitable pigment. The dulling-substance may be produced in the binding-agent by chemical treatment. For example, if the binding-agent is an immature aqueous solution of viscose, the drawing of the strip through a mineral acid for fixing the binding-agent will liberate sulphur, which will produce the required dulling effect.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Roasting Meats and the like.
Inventor: WALKER DANIEL G
Filed: 1906-03-29
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 7631. Walker, D. G. Sept. 26, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Basting-appliances.-9n appliance for roasting meat.&c. is constructed with automatic basting- means. A base 2 supports a receptacle 6 having a conical bottom from which a pipe 14 leads to a perforated pan 17 at a relatively higher level. The vessel 6 supports the roasting-pan 20, which has an outlet 25 controlled by a valve 27 supported by a hinge connexion 29 and attached to a float 30. The meat is placed upon the support 32 and the device heated on a stove &c. A quantity of the basting-fluid is placed in the pan 17, and after dripping on to the meat collects on the bottom of the receptacle 6. The pressure of the developed vapour operates to close the valve 22, against the action of the float, and drives the basting-liquid through the pipe 14 to the pan 17, when the operation is repeated.

Patent GB-190609686-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Gear applicable to Cycles and the like
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
Filed: 1906-04-25
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 9686. Saunders, M. April 25. Variable-speed gearing; clutches.-In the type of three-speed gear for cycles and the like, described in Specification No. 7796, A.D. 1905, wherein two sets of planet-pinions 5, 13 upon a common carrier 9 gear with driving and driven internal rings 4, 15 arranged at opposite ends of the hub, the sun-wheels 6, 16 being adapted to be held stationary or to be prevented from backward or forward rotation by being clutched to the carrier, as shown in Fig. 1, the two sun-pinions have radial ratchet teeth to engage corresponding teeth r, d upon a part 18 secured to the carrier and teeth s, c upon a sliding non-rotatable sleeve 17. For the direct drive, the parts are in the position shown, so that the pinion 6 is prevented from backward rotation and the pinion 16 from forward rotation relatively to the carrier. By allowing the rod g and with it the sleeve 17 to be pressed towards the left by a spring f, the teeth s are brought into engagement with the clutch teeth of the pinion 6 which is moved from engagement with the clutch teeth r. The pinion is thus held against rotation and a low-speed drive is imparted to the hub. To obtain the high gear, the sleeve 17 is pressed to its extreme right-hand position against the action of the spring f. The pinion 6, disengaged from the teeth s, is again clutched to the part 18, while the pinion 16, moved slightly to the right out of engagement with the carrier, is held stationary by the teeth c. A free-wheel clutch may be provided between the sprocketwheel and the part 3, or the internal ring 15, supported upon flanges of the carrier, may be connected to the hub by a one-way clutch. In a modification, the pinion 16 is not provided with an enlarged portion at its left-hand end, but has teeth sufficiently large to engage the teeth c only. With this form, a free-wheel clutch, arranged between the pinion and the carrier to the right of the planet-pinions, prevents the pinion from overrunning the carrier.

Title: An Improved Process for Making Crystalline Hydrate of Potash.
Filed: 1907-03-16
Granted: 1907-06-27
Abstract: 6405. Salzbergwerk Neustassfurt und Theilnehmer. July 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Potassium hydrate.-Relates to the crystallization of potassium hydrate, more particularly to processes for the production of the anhydrous and the various hydrated bodies, separately or in the form of a mixture. Anhydrous caustic potash is prepared by cooling a concentrated lye, until the concentration reaches 86 per cent owing to the separation of the anhydrous body. Cooling at this concentration separates out a eutectic mixture of the anhydrous and mono-hydrated bodies, so that it is possible by stopping the crystallization at a suitable point to produce a crystalline body containing a desired contents of caustic potash. The monohydrate alone separates from lyes containing from 59-85 per cent of caustic potash, until concentration of 58 per cent downwards and 86 per cent upwards are reached. A mixture of mono- and di-hydrated caustic potash is separated by crystallizing a lye containing less than 75 per cent, crystallization being continued until it has fallen below 58 per cent. The bodies obtained may be separated by centrifuging and afterwards washing with fused caustic potash, caustic potash lye, steam, or the like.
