Granted: 1902-02-27
Abstract: 25,217. Tansley, J. Dec. 10. Stoppers; sealing bottles, jars, etc.; stopper-keys etc.; corks, retaining and withdrawing.-Relates to means for stoppering bottles, jars, decanters, milk churns, &c., so that they cannot be opened without the use of a key. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a cork or stopper b, having a pin e formed with an eye e<1> for engagement by a withdrawing-hook or instrument such as f Fig. 7, is forced into the neck, and above it a locking-plug or stopper d is inserted, and secured by its lug d' engaging in the bayonetjoint slot a<1>, a<2>. The cork b may also be provided with a rubber ring c. The stopper d is formed with a key-way d<3>, and is provided with wards d', to which the releasing-key f, Fig. 7, is adapted, the key, when introduced, being rotated under the top-plate d<2> of the stopper, which can then be released and withdrawn. A spring - controlled block d<6>, which can be forced back into its recess d<5> by the key, is provided to prevent the removal of the stopper by a wire or the like. The pin e may have a screw connection with the extractor, in lieu of the hook and eye. The stopper d may be adapted to be sealed in position, in which case the keyway and wards are omitted, and suitable openings provided in the top-plate for the insertion of a hooked extractor. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a cork sleeve b rasts on the shoulder a' of the neck, and forms a seating for the glass or other conical stopper c, which is connected to the locking- stopper e by the screwed part f of the bolt f, the upper end of the bolt being adapted to enter the barrel of the key. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the locking-stopper d is secured by its lug d' engaging in the bayonet-joint slot a<1>, a<2>, and by a lock d<3>, the bolt g of which enters a recess in the neck. To obviate the necessity for wiring the corks of bottles, and to protect the corks from worms &c., a disc d, Fig. 11, is secured in the neck above the cork by lugs d' engaging in bayonetjoint slots a<1>, a<2>. The disc can be rotated by a suitable instrument inserted in the holes d<2>, and can be withdrawn by an extractor adapted to engage in an aperture in the projecting rib d<3>. An adhesive label may be placed over the keyhole &c. of the locking-stopper, so that the label must be broken before the stopper can be withdrawn.

Granted: 1903-05-16
Abstract: 11,278. Wood, M. G. May 16. Locks, key.-In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 3, a number of frames B are arranged to slide within a casing A secured to a box &c. body. Slits C in the frames are so arranged that, in one position of the frames, they are in line or otherwise suit- ably disposed to receive a staple or hasp secured to the box lid &c. The frames are forced out of this position to secure the staple by means of spiral or flat springs E, which may be arranged in compression, or tension, or both in tension and compression, so as to balance the frames. The frames are brought to the position required for the engagement or disengagement of the staple by means of a key L, Fig. 10, which is formed with projections M adapted to act against the frames when the key is pushed through an opening F in the casing A. The sides of the slits C may be bevelled so that the staple may be forced into the locked position. The frames may be operated by means of a key which is inserted through a key- hole and turned. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 15, each of the sliding pieces B is formed with a cut-away part O. The key, which is inserted throngh the hole Q, is turned, and engages the curved parts of the openings 0, to bring the slits in the frames into position. A staple with two projections may be employed, the frames being provided with two engaging-parts to enter the pro- jections. The frames may be formed so that the key engages a projection or curved part on the exterior of each of the frames. In another arrange- ment, shown in Fig. 25, some of the frames B are mounted so as to move in one direction and the other frames to move in the other direction, the openings in the frames being correspondingly shaped. The key has a double bit adapted to operate both sets of frames.

Patent GB-190306944-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Gas Blow-pipes
Inventor: FOUCHE EDMOND
Filed: 1903-03-25
Granted: 1904-03-25
Abstract: 6944. FouchÚ, E. March 25. Soldering. - A blowpipe for burning gas which cannot be obtained under pressure, in which sufficient velocity to prevent the flame from lighting back is given to the combustible gas by air or oxygen under pressure, comprises an injector a, Fig. 5, in which the oxygen-supply tube A terminates, surrounded by an annular chamber B, to which the combustible gas, such as acetylene, is supplied by one or two tubes C. The tubes C are bent several times in the handle of the apparatus, or they may be wound spirally within the handle. They are of small bore and of considerable length, and their object is to prevent explosions from occurring within the rubber tube by which the blowpipe is supplied with gas. If, by any moans, the head of the apparatus should become obstructed, the oxygen would be forced into the conduit for the combustible gas, in which case an explosion of the mixed gases would occur. By employing long tubes C, this danger is avoided. To prevent oxidizing, the flame is surrounded by an annular current of an inert gas such as coal gas. For this purpose, a tube G surrounds the blowpipe, and is supplied with gas from the tube H in which is a bunsen burner. The gas escapes from the tube G round the nozzle of the blowpipe.
