Title: Improvements in or relating to Twin Search-lights or Projectors.
IPC: F21V21/00
Filed: 1909-11-30
Granted: 1910-12-30
Abstract: 27,914. Siemens Bros. & Co., Hird, F., and Bradley, J. H. Nov. 30. Search-lights, directing.-Relates to twin searchlights in which the two lamp barrels are capable of either combined or independent training about a common pivot. The lamp barrels, which may be mounted on trunnions b, b<1> in forks c<2>, C3, are carried by horizontal arms or brackets d, d', each provided with a pair of widely-spaced bearings. The upper bearings e, e' are complete rings surrounding the central spindle g, and the lower bearings f, f<1> are half-rings resting against the spindle g. The brackets d, d' may be lifted off the spindle g by removing a screw cap g<1> and lifting the top bearings over the end of the spindle. The lower bearings are retained against unintentional displacement by a guard-ring j<1> forming part of the turn-table j. Independent training of the two barrels is effected by means of worm-spindles d<4>, d<5>, operated by handles d<6>, d<7>, which mesh with a single circular rack j<2> with vertical teeth, the worm spindles being inclined at the pitch angle of their threads. The worms d<4>, d<5> have respectively a right-handed and a left-handed thread, so that the rotation of the barrels (as seen in plan) is clockwise when the corresponding handles d<6>, d<7> are turned in a clockwise direction. Combined training is effected by means of a hand-wheel j<4> on a spindle j<3> carrying a worm which operates a circular rack h<2>. The worms d<4>, d5, j<3> may be of the disengageable type described in Specification 20,201/07.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing and Presses therefor and especially Embossed Printing and Embossed Printing Presses.
Inventor: WALKER ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1910-01-06
Granted: 1911-01-06
Abstract: 389. Walker, A. H., and Wood, F. W. Jan. 6. I n k i n g - a p p a r a t u s.- Printing - surfaces, more especially the dies used in embossing presses particularly those of the kind described in Specification 14,994/99, are inked by means of sprayproducers, which may be kept in action only while the die is moving over the spray. As shown, a die carried by a carrier 39, which moves in a circular path indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1, is inked by a spray formed by a series of ink-jets 9 and air steam, or gas jets 5 supplied by channels controlled by a series of valves 7, 13, Fig. 4, which enable individual jets to be cut off so as to allow the width of the spray to be adjusted. The supply to the jets 5, 9 is controlled by a cam 37 adjustably secured to the holder 39, the cam acting on a roller 36 on an arm 35 on a shaft 33 of a lever 20, which, when moved by cam 37, opens a valve 17 connecting the jets 5 to a pipe 16 supplied with air, steam, or gas under pressure, and also by means of a pin-and-slot connexion opens a valve 23, which allows ink to flow from a chamber 27 to the jets 9. Ink is forced from the chamber 27 by air pressure. The lever 20 is provided with a collar 31, which works between collars 29, 30 on the spindle of the valve 17. The invention is applicable to intaglio printing generally, and also to relief printing, in which case the means for removing the superfluous ink after spraying are modified.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Cleaning Waste Fibrous Material.
Inventor: LIEBSCHER CARL OSWALD
IPC: D01G11/02
Filed: 1910-01-18
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 1332. Liebscher, C. O. Jan. 18. Cleaners. - A cleaning - machine for waste wool, cotton, flax, jute, &c. consists of a series of oscillating spikes b, which co-operate with a number of short spikes or needles on a fixed or movable grid a, the spikes b being oscillated in fixed bearings by means of one or more eccentrics i and rods k reciprocating a rod h, which carries blocks g engaging forks f on the pivots of the spikes. The fibrous material is fed into the machine by hand or automatically, and is first engaged by the spikes b, which work the material against the spikes on the grid a; the spikes b swing through a greater arc on the forward side of their perpendicular position than on the backward side, and thus convey the material constantly forwards, the impurities dropping down between the bars of the grid a. The grid may be arranged to slide in a guide and be reciprocated by an eccentric or otherwise, and the slide may be mounted on eccentrics, thus producing an up-and-down motion.

Title: Improvements in Contrivances for Feeding Locomotive and other Boilers with Hot Water.
Inventor: CAILLE CHARLES
IPC: F22D11/02
Filed: 1910-01-25
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 30,299. Caille, C. Jan. 25, [Convention date]. Pumps in series; pumps for hot liquids.-In apparatus for supplying feed-water to boilers wherein an excess of cold water is pumped into a heater and a smaller quantity of hot water is pumped from the heater to the boiler, the two pumps are so arranged that the suction stroke of one pump occurs simultaneously with the delivery stroke of the other pump. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the coldwater pump 1 and the hot-water pump 2 are at opposite ends of the same pump cylinder a, and have a common piston b in the form of a hollow cylinder with heat-insulating packing 5 interposed between the two ends to prevent conduction of heat from the hot to the cold water end. The difference in capacity between the pumps is due to the displacement effect of the piston-rod in the hot-water end. The cold-water pump supplies the heater p through the pipe v, and the hot-water pump draws hot water from the heater through the pipe x. The excess of water supplied to the heater escapes through a relief passage back to the suction side of the cold-water pump. The pump is preferably situated below the level of the cold-water supplytank, and is specially suitable for use on locomotives.

Abstract: 28,841. Wharton, J. S. L., Hallowell, W. S., and Jones, J. C., [trading as Harrison Safety Boiler Works]. Dec. 21. Plant.-A system for utilizing exhaust steam partly in a heater, such as a feed-water heater, and partly in a low-pressure prime mover, such as a turbine, is provided with valves which ensure the desired supply of steam to the heater and allow surplus steam to pass to the lowpressure prime mover. Live steam is admitted automatically to the heater when the exhaust supply is insufficient. The heater and the turbine are connected to the exhaust line in parallel. A valve 13 in the pipe 7 conveying exhaust steam to the heater 8 reduces the pressure of the steam entering the heater to a predetermined pressure. When the steam falls below that pressure, the valve 13 or a non- return valve 19 closes, and a valve 15 in a live steam pipe connected to the pipe 7 opens. A non-return valve only may be fitted in the pipe 7. The heater is provided with a relief valve 12.
