Patent GB-190517802-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for Filling Tubes or Containers with Plastic or Oily Substances, Fatty Substances and the like, and a Machine and Special Container for use in said Process.
Inventor: MUNCKE CARL EDUARD
Filed: 1905-09-02
Granted: 1906-09-01
Abstract: 17,802. Muncke, C. E. Sept. 2. Tubular containers, filling.-Relates to a process and means for filling collapsible tubes with fatty and oleaginous substances such as are used in pharmacy, or with oil-colours &c. The tubes, which are preferably of conical formation, are originally inside out, as shown in Fig. 8, and in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and are gradually returned during filling by a graduated series of concentric telescopic tubes 1 ... 10, which are prevented from turning and are advanced in proper sequence by a shaft 21 and worm 23. The worm is of such a pitch that it can pass through a slot 12 formed in the base of each tube, and each tube is provided with a projection 13 adapted to engage a slot 14 in the next larger tube. Two spring- controlled hooks 26 are provided to retain the head of the tube during re-turning. The bottoms 11 of the tube sections are screw-threaded to engage a screw 20 on the upper end of the shaft 21, the pitch of the screw 20 being equal to the thickness of each bottom. By this means, immediately the tube bottoms rise above the worm 23, they are engaged by the screw, and at each further rotation of the shaft 21, they are raised through a distance equal to one bottom, and are so caused to lie closely one upon another. As each tube is filled, its end is bent over and the whole inserted in an outer casing 33, Fig. 7. The upper end of the tube is screw-threaded at 28 to engage screw-threads on the casing, the final fastening being effected by bending over the frill or edge 32. The outer casing is cut out in swallow-tail shape, and carries a strip 34 of metal serving to hold the taper ends together, the whole being folded up into the form shown in Fig. 10.

Granted: 1907-01-11
Abstract: 800. Sterne, L., [Block, L.]. Jan. 11. Drying air.-Air, used for the air blast in the manufacture of iron or steel or in other metallurgical operations, passes first through a cold rain or spray to remove a large proportion of the moisture, and then through a chamber containing a series of condensing-s u r f a c e s upon which a further quantity of moisture is deposited.

Title: A New or Improved Method of and Means for Moulding Biscuits and the like.
Inventor: MACKENZIE HUGH WATSON
Filed: 1906-01-25
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 1891. Mackenzie, H. W. Jan. 25. Moulding biscuits &c.-The mould counts of a base A and a frame B with overlappiog edges B<1> to retain the biscuits when a third part C, forming the bottom of the feed-hopper D, is moved away. A piston E forms a valve in the hopper mouth, and is lowered on to the base A to form a core in the mould and to allow the plunger D<3> to force the material from the hopper. A spring-pressed ring round the mouth of the hopper may help to press the biscuits away from the part C. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the piston is at the side, descending into an orifice in the base to allow the materials to be forced into the mould. Perforations are produced by pins G. An horizontallysliding valve or a rotary valve may be used instead of the piston, and air vents may be provided in the same.

Abstract: 6607. Crowe, E. March 23, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas. and like engines.-To increase the power developed in four-stroke-cycle engines and to prevent premature ignition, an independent pump is used for injecting a gaseous charge into the working cylinder towards the end of the compression stroke and during a part of the working stroke. As shown in Fig. 1, the motor cylinder A is arranged at right-angles to the fuel pump D, both pistons A', D<1> being connected to a single crank b. Gaseous mixture enters the pump D through the valve M, and after passing through the pipe o and reservoir O is admitted to the combustion chamber F through the mechanically - operated valve K. Air for.combustion is drawn into the working cylinder A through the valve J during the suction stroke and is compressed on the return stroke, while the fuel charge is injected through the valve K. towards the end of the compression stroke to be fired, and exhausted on the following stroke through the valve G. The combustible charge admitted to the pump may be diluted with inert gases or pure air. Coke-oven or blast-furnace gas may be used in the engine. Governor controlled valves P, Q are arranged in the pump inlet passages p, q. Specification No. 7241, A.D. 1892, is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the Focussing Devices of Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: THORNTON JOHN EDWARD
Filed: 1907-07-02
Granted: 1908-08-04
Abstract: 15,199. Thornton, J. E. July 2. Cameras. In a camera in which the focusing screen is examined by means of a mirror inside the camera, the observation opening in the top or side of the camera is made large enough to focus without approaching the eye inconveniently near to the camera. A piece of plain glass may be inserted, but preferably a lens E, Fig. 1, is used and a concave mirror F, whereby the reflected image is viewed on, or apparently on the lens from a convenient distance. Provision is made for covering the opening after focusing, and compensating for the distance between the sensitive plate and the focusing screen. The movable parts operate in succession after one is released so that the focal distance is adjusted and light excluded from the observation opening before the shutter is released. In one modification, the mirror F, Fig. 1, is released from the catch f<1>, and, in swinging upwards to close the opening e, adjusts the lens by the quadrant g<2> and releases the roller-blind shutter which has the focusing screen upon it. The quadrant g<1> simultaneously brings a smaller diaphragm in front of the lens. In another modification, the focusing screen is composed of two hinged flaps, and in turning one down to cover the mirror F, Fig. 2, the lens board is automatically moved backward by a rack slide g<5>. Alternatively, the carrier for the plate holder may be moved forwards. In another form of camera, the mirror F and " viewing screen " E, Fig. 12, are on an intermediate partition of the camera. The principle is applicable also for box cameras, which further may include roller-curtain arrangements for covering the opening and mirror. According to the Provisional Specification, different forms of roller-blind shutters may be used, in particular that described in Specification No. 17,358, A.D. 1906; also sliding covers may shield the opening and the mirror, and an auxiliary lens may be used for adjusting the focal distance.

The base d may be inclined away from the rail joint and have corresponding wedges fitted in the openings ; tightening-wedges may also be secured between the head-piece and the rail web i. Clearance for expansion is allowed between the rail ends and head-piece e when cut square. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act oE 1901 comprises also the following. The head-piece e is substantially lengthened, and extensions provided between the head-piece e and the base d to support the headpiece ; also, the base d need not support the rail ends to the full extent of their width except in the middle part of the joint. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
