Patent GB-190600512-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Stoves for Drying Moulds and the like.
Inventor: MOREHEAD CHARLES
Filed: 1906-01-08
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 512. Morehead, C. Jan. 8. Furnaces for drying moulds. The air supply to a stove for drying moulds, of the kind described in Specification No. 12,154, A.D. 1904, is heated in passages in the fire-bridge, from which it issues through perforations so as to draw the products of combustion into the mould. In the stove shown, cold air under pressure passes to a perforated pipe F situated in an opening B at the base of the stove, and also to passages E, E<1> in a metal or other firebridge A<2>. The air issuing from the perforated pipe F draws in air through the opening B, which is controlled by a damper B', additional air inlets C C<1> being made in the walls of the stove. The products of combustion are drawn by the action of the air jets E' in the fire-bridge down a flue D, the lower end of which is fitted over the mould. The fire-bridge is provided with a protecting lip As for the jets E<2>. The fuel is fed from a door H in the top, and may rest upon the base of the stove or upon a grate K.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Filtering Media from Slag.
Inventor: STODDART FREDERICK WALLIS
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 3240. Stoddart, F. W. Feb. 9. Slags, treatment of.-Lumps of slag of an irregular spherical shape, suitable for filtering sewage &c., are obtained by subjecting molten slag running along a pipe to an intermittent blast and cooling the masses detached thereby by allowing them to fall into water or otherwise. The air enters the pipe near the exit end through a lateral opening communicating with a passage or chamber to which the air is supplied under pressure through a valve which is rapidly opened and closed.
Patent GB-190604965-A (GB)
Title: A New Method of Selective or Multiplex Wireless Signalling by Hertzian Waves, Signalling with Connecting Wires by Alternating Currents, and of Construction of Frequency, or Wavemeters.
Inventor: HETTINGER IANKO
Filed: 1906-03-01
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 4965. Hettinger, I. March 1. Testing.-A frequency meter is based on the principle that the ratio of any two or more values of the resonance curve corresponding to different frequencies m1, m2, m3, Fig. 7<d>, does not substantially change whatever the absolute value of the energy received might be. Fig. 6 shows two electro-magnets, excited by two wave-detectors, and acting conjointly on a magnetic needle at A. If equal currents energize the magnets, the needle takes up a position such as A B, and with unequal currents some other position such as AC; when the weaves are superposed, the position will be along the resultant A D of the two resultants A B, A C. To determine the frequency, either everything in the measuring circuit is kept constant and the frequency obtained from the ratio of two indications, or the self-inductance or capacity of that circuit is varied until the indications are equal.

Title: Improvements in Scraping Machines for Sand Filters.
Inventor: BLAISDELL HIRAM WHEELER
Filed: 1907-08-21
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 18,852. Blaisdell, H. W. Aug. 21. Excavating.-Travelling apparatus for scraping sand from the surface of filter beds, somewhat similar to the apparatus described in Specification No. 28,919, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Filtering &c.], is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in vertical section in Fig. 3. The sand is pushed to the centre of the apparatus by a conveyer screw 27 and lifted thence by the buckets of an elevator 29 which discharge it into a receiver 93 communicating with an hydraulic ejector 84. The fluid for the ejector is supplied to the nozzle 91 by a flexible tube 89, and the outlet 92 is connected to a similar tube 90 which conveys the sand away from the apparatus. The sand may be washed down into the ejector by a spray of fluid from a perforated pipe 94 connected to the pipe 89. The frame 1 of the apparatus is pivoted on a shaft 6, and the depth of cut is governed by means of a screw 24 adjustably attached to curved arms 20 at the front of the frame. Auxiliary screw-conveyers 46 are provided at either side to remove the sand from between obstructions on the bed and deliver it to the screw 27. The screws 47 are mounted in sliding bearings, and can be moved in or out by means of cords 51, 52, which pass around pulleys 55 at the corners of the frame and on the operating-handle at the back. The apparatus is supported on, and moved by means of, slats or strips 19 attached to chains which pass around toothed wheels 14 in a frame 8 pivoted on the shaft 6. The slats 19 may be covered longitudinally or cross-ways with flexible or resilient tubes, inflated or otherwise. The frame carries an electric motor 38, and a combustion engine, or other driving-apparatus, the shaft of which is connected to the shaft of one of the wheels 14 by chain and spur gearing which gives a quick-return motion. The driving-shaft is also connected to the upper wheel 30 of the elevator 29, and the shaft of the wheel 30 is connected to the shaft of the conveyers 46. The shaft of the conveyer 27 is that of the lower wheel of the elevator. A modification is described, in which the hydraulic ejector is replaced by a hopper having a hinged discharge cover at its lower side.

Granted: 1909-09-21
Abstract: 15,436. Wellington, J. M., and Dawson, G. C. July 21. Motor road vehicles.- To enable the wheels of a motor-car to move up and down in a vertical line, and thus obviate the backward slip and consequent wear of tyres as with ordinary radius rods, a pair of radius rods are used at each side of the vehicle, one rod of each pair extending towards the front of the vehicle while the other extends towards its rear. The outer ends of the rods are connected to the frame by ball-and-socket joints, while their inner ends are connected in a similar manner to the ends of a lever journaled on the axle. Such construction also permits the wheel to move in a circle, the centre of which is the point of contact between the opposite wheel and the ground. The two-armed lever 1, pivoted on the axle, is connected by joints 4 to radius rods 3 connected to the brackets 5 on the frame by means of joints 4. When used in conjunction with the brakes described in Specification No. 15,438, A.D. 1908, the lever 1 would be replaced by the anchor plate carrying the contracting and expanding parts of the brakes.
