Title: Improvements in Devices for Holding Hats and the like in Boxes
Inventor: GOTTHARDT MAX
Filed: 1905-01-03
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 143. Gotthardt, M. Jan. 3. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Hat-boxes.-A hat is secured in a hat-box by means of a number of arms d, Fig. 3, loosely connected to the lever c. As the outer and of the lever is depressed, the fixed guide-plate f causes the arms d to open out within the hat. The holding-device g secures the arms d in their extended position. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the arms d are pivoted to a fixed plate p, and the guide-plate e may slide vertically, being guided by rods k. To secure the hat, it is pressed downwards with the plate e against the action of the spring l. The cranked lever c is then turned into the position shown, thus causing the retaining-spring n to engage with the rack m. The catch g secures the lever c, and the pin x prevents the rods k from becoming disengaged from the guide-tubes i.

Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 11,268. Brayshaw, S. N. May 30. Tempering.-In hardening high-speed steel, the article is heated in a bath to a very high temperature, but not sufficiently high to cause sealing of the surface to the deterioration of the steel, and, without being allowed to cool, is removed to a bath at a temperature of above 850‹ C., say 900‹- 950‹ C., and finally quenched in a bath of water, oil, or other liquid at say 100‹ C. The baths may be heated in a furnace such as is described in Specification No. 26,703, A.D. 1903, or otherwise. The article is soaked in each bath sufficiently long to result in an even temperature throughout. Specification No. 12,817, A.D. 1904, is also referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, the temperatures of the two high-temperature baths are stated to be 910‹ C. or thereabouts and 850‹ C. or less, and baths at intermediate temperatures may be employed both in heating and cooling.

Patent GB-190602713-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Shutters.
Inventor: DIETZ GUSTAV
Filed: 1906-02-03
Granted: 1907-02-02
Abstract: 2713. Dietz, G. Feb. 3. Shutters in which exposure is effected during the rotation of rotary blades from one closed position to a second closed position without reciprocation. The torsion in a helical spring is used for driving the shutter, the mechanism allowing the shutter to operate in either direction, and to be re-set without moving the blades. The escapement release comprises two elbow levers on the sime fulcrum, and relatively adjustable for time and bulb exposures. An air buffer is used in very fast exposures, and a pneumatic retarding-piston can be coupled to the driving-ring for slow instantaneous exposures. The blades d, Figs. 1 and 2, are thickened towards their pivots r<3>, and are actuated by pins r' on the driving-ring r, Fig. 6. The driving-spring b is attached between the bevelwheel a<1> gearing with the driving-ring r and the winding-wheel a<7>. The toothed section r<2> of the driving-ring is sufficient to rotate the blades from one closed position to the scond closed position. The ratchet-wheel a<7> is retained by the movable pawl a<8>, thus enabling the spring to be set in both directions. The driving-ring r is held by the pin e<3> on the release lever e engaging one of the recesses r<7> on the driving-ring. The release lever e is coupled with a smaller elbow lever e' carrying the time pin e8 by a pin on the handle e<10>. For bulb or time exposures, the pin is rotated to engage the righthand hole e<11> of the lever e, Fig. 1, s) that the pin e<8>, which for ordinary exposures is inoperative, then projects into the path of the stop r<8> on the driving-ring r when the release lever is operated: For time exposures, the pivoted lever t is swung over, the projection t<3> retaining the lever e until released by hand. For slow instantaneous exposures, a projecting pin p<2> on the driving-ring is coupled to the rod n<2> of the pneumatic piston n, which has a small air escape. In very fast exposures in one direction, a second projecting pin p cushions against the head m<4> of the piston m. The pin p can be used to turn the driving-ring backwards and so to re-set the shutter without the necessity of re-setting and rewinding the driving- spring b in the opposite direction. By rounding off the blades d as shown in Fig. 11, the light admitted through the aperture during an exposure is considerably increased.

Title: Improved Process for the Pasteurization of Gas-containing Liquids Under Pressure and Apparatus therefor.

Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 28,707. Hearson, T. A., [Moenninghoff, F. W.]. Dec. 15. Beer and beverages, preserving.-In order to prevent the bursting of barrels &c. containing beer or other gaseous liquids during pasteurization, they are heated while open within a container in which is maintained a pressure, preferably gaseous, sufficient to prevent the escape of the gas from the liquid. They may be closed afterwards within the container by special apparatus. The barrels are run on trollies 4 into the container 1, air is removed by a current of gas, and a constant pressure of say three or four atmospheres is maintained by means of a flask 9 of carbonic acid or other gas, a. reducing-valve 10, and a safety-valve 11. The container is then heated to 70‹ C. by means of the steam coil 6. The closing-apparatus, which is operated after cooling but before the pressure is reduced, consists of a funnel-shaped receptacle 14 attached to the plug hole 15. From the lower part of the funnel 14 rises a cylinder 16 having apertures 24 to allow of the expansion of the liquid into the funnel, and carrying the plug 19. A piston 17, normally held in the upper portion, can be caused to drive in the plug on the admission of fluid under pressure to the chamber 18 by the pipe 20. Should the fluid pressure fail to act, the piston may be operated by the rod 22.

Abstract: 29,467. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. April 12, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field carriages; mountings.-The brake cylinder C, Fig. 1, recoils with the gun and forces liquid past the piston D through grooves c<1>, whence part of it passes by way of the ports c<3>, valve G, and hollow throttling-rod F to the interior of the interior of the piston-rod D<1>, in which a partial vacuum is formed during the recoil.

The counter-recoil is thus regulated. In a modification, Fig. 4, the throttling-rod J is solid, and the ports c<3> and ball valve G of the first arrangement are replaced by ports k<3> and disk valve M in the piston K.
