Patent GB-190822943-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Ships or Flying Machines.
Inventor: GEEST KARL LUDWIG WALDEMAR
Filed: 1907-10-29
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 22,943. Geest, K. L. W. Oct. 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines with or without aerostats; aeroplanes.-The sustaining-wings of aerial machines ara so constructed that the locus of the highest points of the cross-sections of the wings is of the form shown by the line S, Fig. 5, thus resembling the wings of a bird. This form is produced by twisting the wing about its longitudinal axis in such a manner that the inner rear and outer forward portions c, d of the wing are bent downwards as seen in Fig. 2. The air striking the forward edge of the wing will thus follow the path S under the wing and exert an upward thrust on the inclined surfaces of the wing and, as it flows away rearwardly, will also yield a forward impulse tending to propel the machine against the direction of the wind. The action of the air current is strengthened by cutting portions of the wing as indicated at e, f, Fig. 5, so as to remove the downwardly-curved edges at the commencement and termination of the line S, and to permit a broader current of air to pass under the wings. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the shaping of the body of the machine as a wedge which will throw the air displaced by it in the direction of the line S. To render them suitable for flapping flight, the tail and wings should be formed of feather-like bodies, and the tips should be hinged and controlled by springs so as to diminish the effective area during the upward stroke. The machine may also be provided with a balloon or screw propeller. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-190823179-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Furnaces for the Smelting of Ores, Residues, and the like, for the Obtainment of Copper, or other Metals, therefrom.
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-11-30
Abstract: 23,179. Saint Seine, B. de, and Thwaites Bros. Oct. 30. Blast furnaces.- Copper, zinc, and other ores are smelted in a downdraught blast furnace having a single row of tuyeres 1, through which air is introduced at the upper part of the melting - zone, the gases of combustion and smelted products passing together through an outlet 3 at the bottom of the furnace. The furnace, or the outlet passage, or both, may be water-jacketed, and the outlet passage may communicate with one or more fore-hearths, reverberatory furnaces, or the like. A spout may be arranged so that the molten products may be discharged on to any desired hearth. The furnace is kept nearly full of the mixed ore, fuel, and flux, which is introduced through a double-valved or other charging-hopper 2, the escape of gases &c. from the top of the furnace being thereby prevented. Hotter slags than usual are stated to be obtained by the use of this furnace, the separation of the smelted product, such as copper matte, being thereby facilitated. Zinc and other volatile metals may also be smelted without choking the blast passages.

Patent GB-190909525-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Aerial Wing Mechanism.
Inventor: ROGERS RICHARD WOODHOUSE
IPC: B64C33/02
Filed: 1909-04-22
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 9525. Rogers, R. W. April 22. Propelling.-A flapping motion is transmitted to aerial wings by means of two cams, driven from a motor, which act alternately to raise and lower the wings against the action of spring rods of adjustable tension. The shaft A, driven from the motor, carries two cams B, fixed at right-angles to each other on the shaft A and adapted to co-act, one at a time, with semi-radial cams E to which the wing- arms F are adjustably secured. The rising and falling of the wing arms as the cams B alternately come into action, is controlled by spring rods O, fixed at one end to the collar J on the shaft C, which carries loosely the cams E, and passing through eyes in rods M to lugs R loosely carried by the arms F. The rods M slide loosely in a casing L, which can be moved along the shaft C so as to vary the tension of the spring rods. The reach and dip of the wings can be modified by varying the position of the cross-heads G which secure the arms F to the cams E and also, by varying the contact edges of the cams E, B. The wing material is secured to the arms F.
Patent GB-190909897-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Delivering Measured Quantities of Liquids.
Inventor: RAMSTROEM CARL ERIK GUSTAF
IPC: G01F11/28
Filed: 1909-04-26
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 9897. Ramstr÷m, C. E. G., and Danielsson, P. F. April 26. Fixed-chamber appdratus; varying quantity measured.-Liquid admitted by a three-way cock 12 passes through the valve 14 and rises t o a predetermined height in the vessel 1, whereupon the valve 14 is automatically closed. When the cock 12 is reversed, liquid flows out past the valve 14. Within the vessel 1 are two concentric pipes 3, 8 having a series of apertures 9, 10 respectively, and any one of the apertures 9 may be made to coincide with the corresponding aperture 10 by turning the inner pipe 3, the parts being kept in the adjusted position by an arm and spring catch 7. The pipe 3 terminates in a dome 4, which has air outlets 22. Within the dome is a float 5, attached by a rod 13 to the valve 14. When the liquid enters the vessel 1, it rises therein and passes through the coincident apertures 9, 10 until it reaches the float 5, which is thereupon raised, and the valve 14 closed. The vessel 1 has an air outlet above the coincident apertures, so that a volume of air is imprisoned above the liquid, and the height to which the liquid rises in the vessel 1, which may be varied by bringing different pairs of openings 9, 10 into register, is thus a function of the height at which compression of the air begins.

Granted: 1910-08-22
Abstract: 19,150. Smith, W. Aug. 20. Materials, fibrous; pulp, preparation of. - Papyrus is utilized as paper stock or half-stuff and for the manufacture of fuel. In the preparation of paper stock or half-stuff, the percentage of water is reduced by passing the stems through rollers or by any other mechanical means, and the material is boiled with caustic alkali, or by Eckman's or other well-known process, and then bleached. If the papyrus is desired for export, it is dried in the air or by artificial heat, after passing the stems through rollers, and is then baled. The roots are utilized as fuel for gas-producers and for suitable furnaces. The quantity of water in the roots is reduced by squeezing or by other methods. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 2190/70, 2006/72, and 607/73.
