Title: Improvements in Automobile Springs.
Inventor: FURMIDGE SAMUEL
Filed: 1904-11-25
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 25,723. Furmidge, S. Nov. 25. Springs, bearing. - Comprises arrangements of auxiliary or supplementary springs for motor and other vehicles designed to relieve the rigidity of the other springs and accommodate the flattening of the half elliptic springs. In the example shown in Figs. 2 and 3, 12 is the axle spring and 2 the leaf spring attached to the body of the vehicle. The ends of these springs loosely encircle the cross-pieces 3, 11, attached to the helical springs 5, 6, which are bell-mouthed at the top in order to prevent abrasion by the vertical bolts 8, 9. The lower ends of the helical springs are held together by a plate 13. The cross-piece 11 is supported by bolts 8, 9, and the whole is rigidly held together by nuts 14,15. Modifications in the mode of connecting the several springs may be made, as in Fig. 6.

Patent GB-190503100-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Phonographs.
Inventor: JURGENS RUDOLF
Filed: 1905-02-15
Granted: 1905-06-01
Abstract: 3100. Jurgens, R. Feb. 15. A dvertising.-A phonograph for advertising &c. is arranged so that the opening of a door winds up and starts the mechanism. Keyed by the pin 3 on to the winding-shaft 2 is a double lever 4, 5, which is turned d through an angle about the shaft by the opening of the door. This lever is also capable of a alight rocking movement or rotation about a line perpendicular to it and the shaft; this is permitted by the oblong opening of the hub 6. The lower arm 5 moves between the two arms of the forked plate 9, which is pivoted at 10 and operates, by the extension 13, the brake which controls the driving - mechanism. The upper arm 4 moves in a similar slit in a plate 17, which, however, is fixed, and the arm 4 is under the control of one of the two springs 18, 19 according as it is at the left or right hand end of this slit. These springs by their lateral pressure give the lever the rocking motion above mentioned. The outward pressure of the spring 18 tends to keep the lower part 5 of the lever against the inner arm of the forked plate 9 and the spring 19 keeps it against the outer arm. Initially, the lever is in position indicated by I, II. If now the door be opened, the projection 23 strikes against the pivoted arm 8, the movement of which is limited in one direction by the piece 7, and forces the lever to take up the position III, IV, thereby winding up the spring and releasing the brake. Further movement of the door is without effect until the lever regains its initial position, for the lever is now slightly out of the path of the projection 23, and any backward action of this projection on the arm 8 is without effect on the lever. During the unwinding, the lever slowly regains its first position. and, near the end of its path in position V, VI, it strikes against the in-turned end of the lever 34 pivoted at 32, thereby raising a cam 35. By these means the curved-shaped arm 37 pivoted at 36 rises, and the trumpet slides back on the arm 40.

Title: Improvements in Means for Treating Air for Supply to Blast Furnaces, Converters, or the like.
Inventor: HESKETH EVERARD
Filed: 1905-02-18
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 3420. Hesketh, E., and Willcox, F. A. Feb. 18. Drying air. - Air for blast furnaces, converters, &c. is dried by injecting cold water or other cold liquid into it and afterwards removing the suspended water particles mechanically. The process may be repeated with a cooler liquid. In the apparatus shown, the air passes up from the main B into a cylinder A wherein it meets a spray of water. From this, it passes tangentially into a cylinder D wherein the suspended water particles are thrown against the sides, dry air passing off centrally through the pipe E. It may then pass directly to the stoves and, after heating, to the blast furnace, or it may pass through other cylinders A, D, in which liquid of a lower temperature is used. Shelves or baffles in the cylinders A may retard the flow of water, or the water may trickle down suspended corrugated plates. The used water escapes through traps F, F<1>, and may be refrigerated for further use. Specifications No. 3862, A.D. 1878, and No. 5419, A.D. 1890, are referred to.

Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 4075. Wise, W. L., [Thomson Electric Welding Co.]. Feb. 27. Transformers for producing heat in metal working or welding have the primary fed directly or indirectly from polyphase mains in such manner as to utilize the energy of all the mains equally. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the secondary S, which is a copper casting designed to carry a large singlephase current of low voltage, receives in its side in the usual way the primary P. The terminals of the latter are joined to two of the polyphase mains, and intermediate points of it to the other mains. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the primary P is in shunt with a part of the windings of an autotransformer P<2>, this part being preferably of thicker wire than the rest. The autotransformer is connected as before to the polyphase mains.

Title: Improvements in the Production of White Pulps from Natural Vegetable Matter or from Coloured or Dyed Waste Material for use in Paper-making.
Inventor: GAGEDOIS ALBERT
Filed: 1905-07-12
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 14,385. Gagedois, A. July 12. Bleaching; washing.-Relates to a process for obtaining white pulp from hemp, jute. phormium, aloes, and other natural vegetable products, white or coloured rags, old ropes, and other waste material, and also the white waste material from spinning - works. The materials are washed for eight to twelve hours in a lime or soda lye under a pressure of two or three atmospheres, then washed till neutral, first with acidulat d water then with fresh water, then beaten in a bleaching bath containing a solution of alkali peroxi e and neutral silicates of the alkalies. During beating, the temperature is gradually raised to about 80‹ C. at which temperature the peroxide decomposes, liberating oxygen which bleaches the fibres. After beating in the bleaching hath, the material is soaped and beaten in a bath of sodium sulphoricinate, or in caustic soda, for ab ut an hour at a temperature of 40-50‹ C., then drained and bleached. The last traces of chlorine are removed by washing with a weak solution of sodium hyposulphite. If the material consists of dyed waste matters, a fine white pulp is obtained by steeping it in a 15-20 per cent solution of nitric acid at 80‹ C., washing with cold water, washing twice with soda lye, then bleaching in a bath of four chlorometric degrees, and then washing and treating as above.

Abstract: 23,818. Whitehead, P. B. Oct. 26. Doubles, preventing; thread-guides.-To avoid "fourfold" or double thread resulting from a broken end or a thread engaging with its neighbour, a steel or metal strip or clip D, Fig. 3, with ends d upturned to catch the yarn or thread, is fixed to the thread board A so as to bear with slight pressure against the grooved glass or cane rod which is of ordinary construction. When an engagement of adjacent threads.takes place, both are drawn laterally under the clip D, thereby putting a heavy drag on them and causing both ends to run slack and to lap round the rollers. A guide-eye C may be employed, arranged so that the thread coming from the roller is close to the bottom roller. In the " Scotch'' system of frames, the clip may be mounted upon the edge of the water trough, or upon any bar or board over which the yarn is guided. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that, when the spindles run slowly owing to a slack driving-band, the pull on the yarn is reduced, and the yarn then slackens and laps round the rollers.
