Patent GB-190512069-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of Mounting and Displaying Patterns of Textile Fabrics
Inventor: LYNCH ALBERT
Filed: 1905-06-09
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 12,069. Lynch, A. June 9. Pattern b o o k s and cards.- In order that the effects of light and shade upon textile fabrics may be correctly judged, patterns thereof are so mounted i n a pattern book that, when it is opened, they are vertically wrinkled into several folds instead of being displayed in convex form as, for example, in the case described in Specification No. 21,163, A.D. 1892. When the book is closed, all the patterns are stretched flat so that they are not creased. In the space within the raised edges a of the two outside boards c' of a pattern book, Fig. 1, a card b, Fig. 2, moves to and fro horizontally, and through threeholes e therein project studs f, preferably of millboard, which firmly unite the front card c, Fig. 3, and the back card c<1>. The pattern card c has vertical rows of openings d which may be of diamond, oval, or, preferably, triangular form, the openings always being narrower than the patterns p so that the latter cannot bulge through, as is usual. The strips of fabric to be displayed are attached by adhesive, the inner edge to the back of the front card c and the outer to the front of the movable card b. The cards b are preferably so attached to the hinged back of the book that, when the book is opened, they are drawn inwards so as to cockle the patterns p as desired. The movable cards b may sometimes be arranged to be worked by hand.

Title: Improvements in Ventilating Water Closets.
Inventor: THOMPSON CECIL HOLMES
Filed: 1905-06-15
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 12,415. Thompson, C. H. June 15. Ventilating closets.-The seat b being depressed, a piece 13, hinged at 15 to a lug 12, is caused to bear upon the spindle m of a piston i. Water is thereupon forced along a passage o into a cylinder f, fitted with a piston h having a spindle l. The spindles are connected by a link 8 so ttat when the spindle m descends the piston h is forced from its seat n, and water from the supply pipe v passes by the port wand a pipe fitted with a spray nozzle to the ventilating-pipe. This water enters the basin at 1 and may pass up to the roof. The seat being released, the piston i is free to ascend, and is caused to do so by water entering the cylinder g by a regulable by-pass communicating with the cylinder f. The disk h is also raised, cutting off the supply to the spray nozzle. The device is supported on an extension d of the basin. The lid c is hinged by means of a plate 19 to a pin 23, which also connects the seat and the piece 13.

Title: A Combined Bicycle Rest and Safety Lock which may be applied also as an Inflator
Inventor: WEST STEPHEN HENRY
Filed: 1905-11-08
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 22,906. West, S. H. Nov. 8. Supports; apparatus to prevent theft; inflaters, tyre and like, carrying.- A telescopic support, for which the tyre inflater may be employed, is used in conjunction with apparatus to prevent rotation of the road d wheel. As shown in Fig. 1, two telescoping members A, B jointed to a clip upon the bicycle seat pillar are adapted to be held in their extended position by a spring- pressed catch D engaging a coil of flat wire or a collar A' upon the inner member. A sliding sleeve E slotted to pass a boxlike portion C carries an arm F which is passed through an eyelet upon the chain stay and between the spokes of the wheel. When the support is not required, the arm F, brought out from engagement with the eyelet and the wheel, is turned down between two lugs E<2>; the catch is then depressed at D' and the members A, B telescoped one into the other, the support being finally held by a lower clip Y upon the seat pillar. A ring X prevents the sleeve from sliding too far down the member B ; a foot-plate B' ball-jointed to the part B is also provided. When the tyre inflater is used to furnish the telescopic members, the handle is connected by a acrew to the universal joint upon the upper clip, and the foot-plate is dispensed with, while, in order that the apparatus may be used for inflating purposes, the catch is held out of operation by sliding the thumb-piece D' to bring a lug D<5> into engagement with the portion C. In modification., the arm F is shaped to fit snugly upon the sleeve E when the stop is not in use ; or a hooked piece F<5>, Fig. 7, retained in its lower position by a button H upon the part B, may be pivoted to a collar E', which, taking the place of the sleeve, is fixed in any adjusted position by a set-screw G, and, with this arrangement, to retain the parts extended, the member B is provided with a spring or an internallyprojecting pin B<1> which is adapted to come under one of a number of semicircular lugs A<2> upon the part A when the collar is turned round to bring the hook into engagement with the wheel spokes, as shown in dotted lines at F<6>. For further security the hooked piece may be passed under an arm K, Fig. 9, which, mounted upon the chain stay, is provided at its free end with a screw L adapted to retain the hooked piece under the arm until retracted by the use of a key or other means.

Abstract: 2283. Muirhead, A. Jan. 29. Telegraphs. - A coherer, comprising a needle point in contact with or close to a conducting- surface, is submerged under a column of heavy viscous liquid, such as paraffin, machine oil, or glycerine, and the pressure of the liquid at the cohering parts is made adjustable. The needle point is of steel or platinum, and the surface is of steel, aluminium, zinc, carbon, or graphite ; the arrangement is a modification of the coherer described in Specification No. 11,575, A.D. 1897. In the construction illustrated in Fig. 1, the needle a is mounted on a set-screw h, the surface piece b is carried by a spring holder, and the vessel c is mounted on trunnions d with spring washers k by means of which it can be set at any inclination ; the pressure of the liquid may also be varied by means of a piston device. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the liquid is arranged to flow slowly past the cohering parts between nozzles m with adjustable needle valves n; the apparatus is pivoted both for adjusting the pressure and also for reversing the containers c to keep up the flow. The apparatus may be used in connexion with the system of wireless telegraphy described in Specification No. 11,348, A.D. 1901, and an increased effect, may be obtained by using the commutator described in Specification No. 29,069, A.D. 1897, to connect the coherer with the receiving circuit and the instrument in turn, no means for effecting decoherence being required.

Title: Process for the Production of Soluble Starch and Removing Starch from Textile Materials
Inventor: FRITSCHE FERDINAND
Filed: 1908-01-20
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 1351. Fritsche, F. Jan. 20. Starch is rendered soluble by treatment with a perborate, preferably sodium perborate, which is stated not to leave refuse material requiring removal after the reaction, as when manganates, persulphates, &c. are used. Starch is mixed dry with about 1 per cent. of sodium perborate and then boiled with water. Borax formed in the reaction remains in the solution but is not disadvantageous. Alternatively, the heating may be done at 40‹ C., after which the starch is filtered, washed, and dried. Ordinary starch as bought may be heated up to about 100‹ C. with the perborate, without addition of water, since it contains sufficient moisture to effect solution.
