Patent GB-190511687-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Coin Freed Gas Meters.
Filed: 1905-06-03
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 11,687. Gow, J., and Gas Meter Co. June 3. Actuating lift valves; casings.-The valve box b for a disk valve a of a coin-freed gas-meter has the form of a cross, of which the arm opposite the valve seat receives a screwed extension b<1> covering the valve stem a<2> and the spindle of an operating- lever c. The cover d of this extension is secured to the valve box by screws d<2>, as well as by screws to the extension itself. An oil-hole is closed by a screw f<1>. The valve, pressed to closure by a spring, is actuated by the coin-freed mechanism operating through a link g, which has a certain amount of play. Thus, if, after all the gas paid for has been consumed, gas still passes through the meter, due to a leaky valve or other cause, the operating-link moves farther to put a projection h in the way of the stop-arm j of the meter index mechanism.

Title: A New or Improved Process for the Manufacture of Bread consisting of Various Kinds of Dough.
Inventor: SIEGERT HUGO
Filed: 1905-10-17
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 21,092. Siegert, H. Oct. 17. Bread is made by baking together layers of different kinds of dough, such as white and brown dough. Connexion between the layers is obtained by placing the layers side by side on bands of fabric, the ends of which are raised so that the layers exert pressure on each other. The connexion may be increased by the use of flour paste or the like. Adjacent loaves are prevented from adhering by smearing the surfaces with vegetable butter or the like. The connexion between the layers may also be obtained by baking the loaves in a conical mould. The layers of dough are pre liminarily heated by dry or moist air to an extent varying with the different lengths of time required for baking the different kinds of dough.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Analysing Gases.
Inventor: BAYER ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-01-01
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 20. Bayer, A. Jan. 1. Speed indicators; registering volume of gases.- The difference in the volumes of gas passing through two meters separated by, an absorbing- chamber is registered by differential mechanism. Shafts 2 are bevel-geared to the meter shafts so as to rotate in opposite directions, and are connected by differential gearing, parts of which are indicated by 4<b>, 4<c>, 4<a>. The gearing is surrounded by a toothed rim 5 which gears with a wheel 6 mounted in arms 20. A pulley 8 is mounted on the spindle 7 of the wheel 6, and by its rotation raises a bar 9 mounted on a guide 12 and pressed against the pulley by a roller 10 mounted on a spring-pressed arm 19. The bar carries a style 11 which records a trace on a clock-work drum 13 geared to turn once in twenty-four hours. A pin 16 on a wheel 15 geared to the first meter engages a projection 17 on the arm 19, and thus periodically releases the bar 9 and allows it to drop, so that a succession of traces are formed on the drum. The gear of the registering-apparatus is preferably arranged so that the style rises two millimetres when the drum of the second meter rotates at a speed of one per cent less than that of the first meter. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 22,303, A.D. 1895, and No. 17,527, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.], Nos. 24,948 and 27,063, A.D. 1902, and No. 20,770, A.D. 1903.]

Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 773. Wunderlich, A., and Hughes, G. A., [trading as London Electric Firm). Jan. 11. Bellows; compressing.-A means for automatically controlling the motor-driven bellows of an organ consists in providing an electro-magnetic clutch between the driving and driven shafts, the circuit of the coil of which is broken when the air chamber of the bellows reaches a predetermined height. In the arrangement shown, an alternating-current motor b drives, through an electromagnetic clutch c, pulley d, and belt f, a countershaft carrying a disk e. This works the bellows a through a connecting-rod g. The air chamber k carries a rod l adapted to open a switch m, in circuit with the coil of the clutch c and an electric generator h, mounted on the shaft of the motor b. If a direct-current motor is used for driving, the clutch may be energized from the mains, or a separate battery may be used, the generator h not being required.

Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 17,309. Smith, J. H. Aug. 1. Testing strength of materials under alternating stresses derived from the centrifugal action of revolving masses. The test piece is secured between two heads B, C in the frame F, Fig. 1 ; the head C is of circular section, and is adjusted and prevented from turning by two set-screws; the head B is of circular section in the bearing L and of square section in the bearing M. Initial stress is put on the specimen either by an adjustable spring H, by hydraulic power, or by other means applied to the headB. The head B carries a bearing N, the axes of the bearing and head being at right-angles, and the disks K bearing the revolving masses E are carried by a spindle working in the bearing N. Lead rings or springs G take the shock of the blows when the specimen breaks. By using two or more units, as described, a balanced system may be obtained, or other revolving masses may be carried by the frame F to obtain a balance. Radial slots in plates rotating with the driving-shaft engage with pins in the disks K, thus turning the disks without transmitting the driving force to the specimen. The head C is locked to the frame, after fixing the specimen between the heads B, C, to avoid straining the specimen.

Title: An Improved Reply or Tell-tale Telegraph for Indicating Automatically the Condition of a Machine or Moving Contrivance at a Distance especially adapted for use in Ships.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-07-24
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 16,959. Lake, W. E., [Brown Automatic Indicator Co.]. July 24. Order, or alarm apparatus.-A tell-tale telegraph, specially applicable for signalling the position of a ship's engine controlling-gear, comprises a transmitting-switch which closes one of a number of circuits leading to a receiving-instrument, in which an electric motor turns an indicating-pointer until the circuit that was closed at the transmitter is broken by an insulating-part on a wheel of the receiver. The transmitter consists of a switch arm B, which is turned on its pivot by a link F connected with the throttle lever of the engine, and co-operates with one or other of two rows of contacts D, E, according to the position of the reversing lever of the engine which shifts the plate C on which the contacts are mounted. The contacts D, E are connected by separate wires with corresponding contacts N, arranged in the receiving- instrument in an arc round a wheel K, which carries two insulated segmental contacts L, separated by an insulating gap U. The segments L are connected by brushes P to two electric motors O, which turn a shaft I geared to the wheel K in opposite directions. When the switch arm B is brought on to one of the contacts D or E, the circuit of a battery S is completed through the corresponding contact N, segment L, brush P, motor O, and a return wire R, and the motor turns the wheel K, until the circuit is broken by the live contact N coming on to the insulating gap U. Should the wheel K overshoot and carry the gap U past the live contact N, the circuit of the other motor is completed and the wheel turned back to the right point. Instead of two motors, a single reversible motor may be used. A pointer H is geared to the wheel K.
