Patent GB-190013752-A (GB)
Inventor: FREYSOLDT OSCAR
Filed: 1900-07-31
Granted: 1900-12-08
Abstract: 13,752. Freysoldt, O. July 31. Sewage and foul waters, treating; aÙrating; effluent, treating; precipitants etc.; spraying.-Relates to a process and apparatus for purifying town and other sewage or effluents. The sewage &c. is led from a pipe 1 into centrifugal separators 2, of ordinary construction, which effect a separation of the solid from the liquid portions. From the casings 3 of the separators the liquid flows into channels 4, formed in the floors and walls of the building shown in the Figure. The liquid then flows from the channels 4 through pipes 10 into conical chambers 9, having discharge apertures at their front ends whence the liquid is forced, ia the form of spray, by compressed air or other agent, which issues from pipes 11; these pipes are branches from receivers 14 connected to a vessel 13, into which the air &c. is forced by a pump 12. Other pipes 15, connected to the receivers 14, discharge currents of compressed air &c. which, impinge against the liquid as it issues from the chambers 9. Sulphuric acid, or other reagent, may be run from a vessel 5 into the liquid in the channels 4. The chambers 9 are fitted within the walls of steam-jacketed evaporating-chambers 6, within which most of the liquid is evaporated, the resulting vapours being drawn by means of an exhausting-pump 22 through pipes 21, 42, 43, and forced through purifying-vessels, whence the hot vapours flow through pipes 25 employed for heating the liquid sewage in the channels 4. Brushes 30 prevent the liquid sewage from passing along the pipes 21. The residual mud, separated during the evaporating processes, finally passes into a collecting-chamber 17, or on to a mass of earth, turf, or the like 20. Condensed atmospheric moisture, collecting in the vessel 13, flows away along a pipe 16. In the case of a large plant, a small turbine 32 may be arranged at the lower end of the discharge pipe 25.

Title: Improvements in Search Lights or Projectors for Naval and Military Purposes
Filed: 1901-09-11
Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 18,169. Crompton & Co., Crompton, R. E. B., Hodgson, A. J., and Ewart, J. W. Sept. 11. Military and like transport vehicles. - Relates to portable search-lights or projectors for naval and military, purposes which can be worked by one operator placed at a level below that of the beam projected, so that he can be more easily screened and protected from the enemy's fire. The lamp, mirror, and lenses are preferably mounted on the barrel A of the projector, so that the beam thrown can be elevated or depressed through considerable vertical angles and traversed in the horizontal plane through a complete circle. The projector is mounted on a trail carriage, of which the trail H is preferably mounted direct on the axle F. The projector barrel A is carried by angle arms C on the turntable B, which revolves on a base D attached to a frame E mounted on the axle F by means of springs G. The horizontal training is effected by worm and spur gearing attached to the turntable B and operated by the hand-wheel M, the spindle of the pinion being mounted with sufficient eccentricity in its bush to cause the pinion to be thrown in or out of gear with the teeth on the base D when the bush is moved through an angle. The bush can be clamped in either position by the handle P, the out-of-gear position enabling the projector to be revolved more rapidly by hand. The projector is moved through the vertical angle by means of a toothed quadrant S of large radius, attached to one of the trunnions and operated by a hand-wheel X, which can be clamped by the nut shown. The operating- pinion is thrown in and out of gear by turning the bush, in which it is eccentrically mounted, the bush being clamped by means of the handle Z. Thus the barrel can be elevated or depressed either slowly by means of the hand-wheel when the pinion is in, or very quickly when the pinion is out of gear. Rods a, a', one of which is screwthreaded and operated by a handle d, are interposed between the barrel A and the trunnion T to facilitate the balancing of the barrel A. The levelling of the barrel A relatively to the trail H when the latter is raised for travelling or resting on uneven ground is effected by the screw e, which is operated by the handle h and clamped by the handle i. The lamps used are preferably improvements on those described in Specification No. 2162, A.D. 1892, [Abridgment Class Electric lamps &c.].

Title: Improvements in the Mode of Feeding Steam Boilers with Water.
Inventor: BASCH SAMUEL
Filed: 1902-04-08
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 8154. Basch, S. April 8. Feedwater, heating and supplying.-A tubular heater a is arranged in a bye-pass of the chimney, and a shutter is provided to direct the furnace gases through it or to cut them off. The chamber being heated, the air or steam in it is expelled through an open cock l and non-return valve m, and being cooled, water is sucked in through a pipe j. The water, being now heated, is allowed to run into the boiler by opening cocks h, h<1> in water and steam pipes g, f after closing the snift and vent cock l. The repetition of this action may be rendered automatic as follows :-The hot-water and steam cocks h, h<1> and the chimney shutter are coupled to a lever, which turns with a lever A on a pivot y. When steam is generated in the heater, a piston u in a cylinder s is forced down, and its rod v, bearing a self-freeing catch to engage the main lever A, puts it into the position shown, at which a latch B holds it while the shutter is held by a latch F. As the water runs off into the boiler, a float n descends in a cylinder o, and when the heater is empty a tappet r on the float rod q shifts a rod H to open a vent cock l, and then trips the latch B from the main lever A, leaving it subject to a spring D. On the return of the float with the cold water, the tappet r trips the shutter latch and re-closes the snift. By providing an apparatus containing two heaters acting alternately, a continuous hot feed is provided. Exhaust steam from the engine may also be used to heat the feedwater.

Title: Valve Motion for Air or Gas Compressors.
Inventor: ORANGE PROSPER L
Filed: 1902-09-23
Granted: 1903-09-23
Abstract: 20,769. L'Orange, P. Sept. 23. Compressing.-Valve gear for pumps for com- pressing air and gases is shown in Fig. 1. The pressure valve A has a closed cylindrical extension or cap a sliding on a guide b. The pump cylinder N is connected with the interior of the cap by a passage c so that, in the compression stroke, the cap is raised and the valve opened. When the ring f of the pump piston M passes the outlet of the passage c, the excess pressure on the top of the valve closes it. The arrangement may be modified, as by placing the cap under the valve. As adapted for a suction valve A', Fig. 3, auxiliary pistons C, working in chambers connected by passages g to the pump cylinder, are connected by rods k to the valve, which is normally closed by fluid pressure or springs acting on the top of the pistons, and which is opened by the escape of fluid pressure from underneath the pistons.
Patent GB-190222709-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Embossing or Printing Devices.
Inventor: TODD LIBANUS MCLOUTH
Filed: 1902-10-18
Granted: 1902-12-18
Abstract: 22,709. Todd, L. M. Oct. 18. Printing on cheques &c. ; type-writers.-Relates to devices for embossing or printing upon cheques, drafts, &c. a limiting amount in words, beyond which the cheque &c. is not good. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the printing-apparatus with a portion of the casing broken away, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section. The frame comprises a casing 1 for the printing-wheels &c., and a base 73 secured to the casing 1 by bolts 74 and nuts 75. A closing- plate 2, covered with cloth, fits into the base, and is held by spring fingers 78. The heads of the bolts 74 limit the inward movement of the closing- plate. A slot 3 is cut in the casing 1 for the reception of the cheque &c. to be printed on. Journalled in the casing 1 is a shaft 4 to which is secured the left-hand printing-wheel 5, Fig. 7. The other printing wheel 7 is loose on the shaft, and carries an index dial 11. The printing-wheels consist of stereotype sheets bearing printing- characters, and as the wheels are relatively movable a large number of limiting-values can be printed by combining the formes on the two wheels. Such endorsements as "Not over nineteen hundred " forty" can thus be printed. Adjustment of the type-wheels relatively to one another is effected by drawing the dial 15 slightly towards the right by virtue of its sliding but non-rotative relation to the shaft 4, and then re-engaging a pin carried by it with a fresh hole in the dial 11, the dials being thus locked together in a fresh combination. A stationary index 13 indicates which formes are at the printing position. An inking-roller 70 bears against each printing-wheel, and acts as a centering or aligning device for it. The shaft 28 which carries the inking-rollers is spring-tensioned towards the type-wheels. At intervals the operator depresses plungers 86, so as to bring a hollow feltcovering 83, charged with ink, against the rollers 70. The platen consists of a strip 33 of rubber, leather, or other yielding material secured to a block 32 carried by pivoted arms 34. The platen is lifted against the type-wheels by a lever 40 pivoted on a shaft 41 and bearing a contact-face 44, which may be an embedded steel ball. The block 32 bears a similar contact-face 42. Links 47 pivoted at 48 to the lever 40 are slotted to engage pins 51 carried by the extension 52 of the hand-lever 45, which thus exerts a toggle-like action on the lever 40. The extent to which embossing takes place can be regulated by turning the shaft 41, which is eccentric with respect to its bearings in the casing 1. Locking-devices are provided for holding the shaft in the adjusted position. A guard-plate 68 prevents the paper from receiving an impression from more than one forme.
