Title: Improvements in and relating to Incandescent Gas and Vapour Burners
Inventor: HOOKER WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-05-15
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 8942. Hooker, W. May 15. Incandescent gas and vapour lamps. -In platinum-mantle lamps of the type described in Specification No. 19,055, A.D. 1888, the mixture of air with the gas or vapour in the proportions necessary to ensure complete combustion within the plati num mantle a is made before it enters the burner b, which is not of the bunsen type, but comprises a tube b with a central core c, thus giving an annular flame. For use with gas at ordinary pressures, the platinum mantle a is preferably formed with about 2500 perforations to the square inch, each perforation having a diameter of about 0 0137 of an inch. Lighting-back is prevented by a layer e of wire gauze placed at the lower end of the tube b. The air and the gas may be mixed by known devices, or by allowing air to be carried by a jet of water into a vessel, from which the water escapes, while the air is forced into the pipes with the gas, the proportions of air and gas being regulated by a governor. When air impregnated with combustible vapour is employed, a portion only of the air is allowed to pass over or through the liquid to be volatilized, the proportions depending on the nature of the liquid employed.

Over the perforations in the plate are fixed inclined baffles H, H. The exhaust steam enters through the pipe C, and is heated so that it escapes invisibly with the products of combustion by the pipe D. The upper end of this pipe is closed by a weighted damper, which may be opened when the fire is started and which opens automatically to allow air to enter to prevent any undue increase in the furnace draught.

Patent GB-190104668-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Reversing Rolling Mills.
Inventor: HODGSON JOHN GEORGE
Filed: 1901-03-05
Granted: 1901-12-31
Abstract: 4668. Hodgson, J. G., and Norton, L. A. March 5. Rolling. - A reversing mill for rolling bars, plates, sheets, or packs of sheets has hydraulic mechanism for automatically setting the rolls closer after each reversal. The screws 7, Fig. 2, for adjusting the rolls carry wheels 8 locked to the screws by worms 10 on the wheels engaging wormwheels 11 secured to the screws. The worm gearing allows each screw to be independently operated by hand, while a rack 9 engaging the wheels 8 adjusts the screws simultaneously. The rack is carried by the piston 12 of a hydraulic cylinder 13 provided with pipes and valves shown diagrammatically in Fig. 7. The piston carries a bracket 16, to which is removably attached a bar 14, sliding in guides 17, and having suitably-spaced notches 15. A valve 20, having a weighted lever 23 with a roller 24 running on the bar, is closed when the roller rests in a notch. A valve 21 in a pipe 35 connecting the front end of the cylinder with a discharge pipe 31, is momentarily opened and closed at each reversal of the rolls by a frictionally-driven cam on the lower roll shaft. The valve 20 and a valve 18 are placed in a pipe 30 connecting the front end of the cylinder with the discharge pipe 31. A two-way valve 19 connects either end of the cylinder with the supply pipe or with the discharge pipe through pipes 32, 33. The valves 18, 19 are simultaneously operated by hand-levers 22. When placed in the position shown in Fig. 7, no movement of the piston takes place till the valve 21 is operated by the reversal of the rolls. The temporary opening of this valve allows sufficient water to escape to permit the piston and bar to move forward sufficiently to raise the roller 24 out of its notch, thus opening the valve 20 and allowing the piston to continue its movement till the roller drops into the next notch. The operation is repeated at successive reversals, the notches being preferably placed closer together to give less and less feed to the screws as the rolls approach one another. To return the piston and open the rolls, the valves 18, 19 are reversed, connecting the supply pipe with the front end of the cylinder and the exhaust pipe with the rear end, the pipe 30 being closed. Interchangeable bars, notched to suit different classes of work, may be used,

Abstract: 4852. Nadbyl, B. March 7. Fastenings; l o c k s , key.-A hollow outer ring H encloses an inner ring I, both rings being made in two parts hinged together at K, L. When the two hinges register, the rings may be operated, but, when the inner ring is slid within the outer ring, so that the hinges do not register, the double ring is firmly closed. The outer ring is slotted, and a button N is formed at the end of the inner ring for the purpose of moving the same. The button may be screwed into the inner ring, and pass into a hole in the outer ring to lock the rings in position. Instead of being screwed, the button may be arranged so that it is released from engagement by means of a suitable key.

Title: Improvements in Processes for Ventilating Milk and Cream during the Process of Separation and in Apparatus therefor
Inventor: BORGSTROEM ARTHUR HJALMAR
Filed: 1901-05-02
Granted: 1901-08-03
Abstract: 9114. Borgstr÷m, A. H. May 2. Cream separators.-Relates to the ventilation of milk and cream during the process of separation in a centrifugal separator. The centrifugal action within the separator causes a current of air through the machine. The air enters through the cream pipe C, and is discharged through the separated milk pipe D. The pipe C is connected by the pipes E, G, F with the outside air, which is drawn through a coil or the like 0 to remove dust and similar impurities. A counterpoised valve H is placed at the bottom of the pipe G, which allows the cream to pass into the receptacle M, but prevents vitiated air from within the building from entering the separator. In a modification, the receptacle M is furnished with an airtight lid through which the pipes E, F pass.

Abstract: 23,666. Cole, T., Cole, W. L., and Acton Concrete Partition Co. Nov. 21. Moulding cement and concrete bricks, slabs, and tiles.-Fig. 13 shows a mould constructed of sheetmetal plates 32, 33, fitted between tongued and grooved ends pivoted to a bottom plate 31, and connected by a T-headed key 36, which is inserted through horizontal slots in the plates. A pressing- cover 38 is arranged to slide within the mould on a rod or core 37 fixed to the bottom x, and is acted on by a press head operated by crank discs 19 and connecting-rods 18. The upper ends of the mould sections are kept in place by a wire loop 34 or the like. In order to cause the concrete to settle in the mould, and facilitate the escape of air, the mould is placed, during the filling operation, on a slab 7 which is caused to vibrate by ratchet-wheels 6 driven by an endless chain. The filled mould is placed on the table of the press between retaining-plates 9, 10, fitting between channelled guides 12, whi h are forced inwards by cranks 13, connected by links 14, and controlled by a lever handle 11. The main shaft 20 of the press is driven by toothed gearing and a clutch which is automatically thrown out of action, when the press head is at the top of its stroke, by a stationary wedge-shaped cam-piece 21 engaging with an interrupted grooved cam disc of the clutch. The press is started by depressing a pedal 17, which is connected by levers to the wedge. The front 9 of the retaining-frame is pivoted to turn down for the removal of the mould, and the clutch is then locked by a lever, thrown into action by an arm of the front, to prevent the press from acting. The bottom of the mould is struck to vibrate it and push it from the press frame by a movable piece operated by levers and a treadle 26.

Abstract: 665. Doulton, H. L., and Pleace, R. J. Jan. 9. Flushing - apparatus. - A siphon made up of a short leg D and a long leg A is arranged in connection with a tank, the bottom of the tank being formed about level with the flange F on the siphon. The leg A is provided with a liquid trap B, and at the upper end an open-tapped chamber C is arranged to drain into the leg. An inverted U-shaped pipe E extends from the chamber C to the outside air. On liquid rising in the tank, the open ends G, H of the leg D and the pipe E are submerged and the enclosed air is compressed. The air pressure ultimately forces the trap B and siphonic action is set up. The flow of the liquid fills the chamber C and traps the end of the pipe E. When the liquid falls below the end G of the leg D, air enters the siphon and partially breaks the discharge so as to allow the chamber C to drain. More air is then admitted through the open pipe E, and the siphonic action is completely stopped.
