Window blinds.- In a screen which mav be used to cover half or the whole of the window, a wire screen 15 is wound on a spring roller 13 which is mounted on bearing - plates 10 figed to the upper part of the inner sides of the window-frame. The screen passes over a guide-roller 14 and downwards in front of rigid plates 32, which project from the window frame on each side and are provided with recesses 33, 34 at the bottom and-middle to receive the binding-strip 18 at the lower end of the screen: The binding-strip is formed by a sheet of strip of sheet metal placed against the lower part of the screen and folded over and over. A movable T-shaped clamping-piece 36 is arranged on each side of the window so that cam-slots 38, 39 at the upper and lower ends of the part forming the stem of the T engage with pins 40, 41 projecting from the sides of the framing. A bell-crank lever 44 is pivoted to the framing on each side, a forked arm of the lever being connected by a pivot 45 to the clamping-plate. The two levers are connected by a bar 46 so that they work in unison. When the screen has been pulled halfway or right down, the bar 46 is swung upwards, the plates 36 then being caused by the cam-slots to move against the screen and clamp it against the plate 32. Guide-rollers are provided near the ends of the binding-strip to run on the edges of the plates 32. A handle 47 provided with a dependent string 48 is provided at the middle of the strip 18 for pulling down the screen, and a rubber buffer 50 is arranged at the top of the window to prevent the screen from rising too far and from making a noise should it be allowed to run up freely.

Patent GB-190426915-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrodes for Arc Lamps
Inventor: DEMPSTER JOHN THOMAS HENRY
Filed: 1904-12-09
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 26,915. Dempster, J. T. H. Dec. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Arc lamps.-Electrodes for producing flaming arcs are made from a mixture containing titanium, preferably in the form of an oxide, and a comparatively good conducting - material, preferably one which gives a luminous arc, such as iron. The iron may be in the form of oxides. A small quantity of a flux, such as boric acid or potassium carbonate, may be added. These substances are mixed with water containing glycerine, and the mixture is ground in a paint mill for some time, dried to the consistency of putty, and made into sticks by moulding or by forcing through dies. Red oxide of iron added to the magnetite in the original mixture facilitates the moulding. The sticks are heated gradually to dry them, and then baked in a kiln at a high temperature. In order to increase the electric conductivity of the pencils, they may be encased in thin shells of metal, or part of the iron may be reduced to the metallic state. This may be accomplished by adding graphite or carbon to the materials from which the electrodes are made, or by heating the pencils in a reducing-atmosphere either during or after baking. Coke or carbon may, for example, be packed round them in the kiln. The porosity of the electrodes may be diminished by prolonging the heating. Instead of an artificial mixture of oxides, natural titaniferous magnetite, preferably purified from silicates, may be employed.

The negative elements D, D<1> consist of finely-divided compressed lead peroxide resting on a perforated strip d of nearly pure lead. Conductors E, E<1> are embedded in the peroxide and are burned together to form a single conductor E<2>. Another rod E<3> of lead &c. is embedded in the spongy lead of the positive element, a strip b<1> of perforated lead being fitted on top of the spongy lead and burned to the sides of the sheet B and to the conductor E<3>. If desired, a plurality of positive elements may be used.

Title: Improvements in Fittings for Incandescent Gas Burners.
Inventor: SHOOB ISAAC
Filed: 1905-01-10
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 516. Shoob, I. Jan. 10. Incandescent gas lamps; detachable fittings; regenerative ; lighting.-A detachable fitting, for converting a gas burner into one or more incandescent burners, consists of a reservoir or chamber a fitted with a tube b adapted to be placed over the existing burner, and with tubes c adapted to carry the new burners.

Flashing back may be prevented by wire gauzes. In inverted lamps, the mixture to be burnt is heated in a chamber n arranged in the path of the waste gases, and the burners d may placed close to the chamber a.
Patent GB-190504585-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Punching Jacquard Cards.
Inventor: BENSON HENRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-03-06
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 4585. Benson, H. W. March 6. Cards, punching.-The punches 1 are guided and supported by a fixed plate 2, upon which their heads rest, above a guide-plate 5 and the punchplate 6, which are attached, with a space between them for a card 20, to a sliding frame 8. Above the punches are punch-rods 11, which are guided in a stepped block 10. The selecting-slides 13 are arranged to slide horizontally in suitable guides and a stepped block 15, and their ends are hooked for the attachment of the strings of the reading- machine. There is a row of punch-rods 11 for each row of punches, and the rods of each row are alternately long and short, as shown in Fig. 2, so that there are two horizontal rows of selecting- slides for each row of punch-rods, thus allowing stronger slides to be used. The slides are normally held by springs over the ends of the punchrods, but when the machine is in operation, certain slides are pulled back by the reading-machine as the frame 8 commences to be raised by cams or eccentrics acting through links. When the card reaches the lower ends of the punches, it lifts the punches and rods corresponding to the retracted slides, while the other punches perforate the card. As the frame 8 descends, the heads of the punches come in contact with the plate 2, and the punches are pulled out of the card. Two or more camactuated card pushers push the bottom card out of a receptacle and between the plates 5, 6, thus displacing the punched card. In machines for punching fine-gauge cards, the punch-rods in each row may be of three or more different lengths, and in machines for coarse-gauge cards, all the punch-rods in each row may be of the same length.

Abstract: 21,267. Soc. Civile d'•tudes de l'Indechirable Grimson. July 13, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Belts and bands ; friction gearing. - Relates to driving- belts and the coverings for friction wheels such as are used in spinning- machines. The material used consists of two or more fabrics superposed on the " cross." This fabric is stuck together in layers by means of india-rubber solution &c., slight calendering being effected to obtain complete adhesion. The belts are then covered by one or more sheets of cork, to prevent slip, by means of an adhesive substance having a base of india-rubber. The cork used is first treated as described in Specification No. 14,839, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class India-rubber &c.], to remove those constituents which tend to make it brittle. In making coverings for friction wheels, the fabrics are stuck together and the surfaces a, a', d, d' of the end layers then similarly joined. The joint is then sewn, and the band covered with cork as above.

Granted: 1907-01-02
Abstract: 1 4 9 . Lake, H. H., [Wiegand, H. H.]. Jan. 2. Air, supplying.-Relates to means for preventing smoke by imparting a whirling movement to the air supplied above the grate. A deflector with twisted vanes 3 in the form of propeller or turbine blades, is fixed in the air inlet 7 so that air from the outside, on impinging upon the inner surface of the blades, will be directed through the slots, and given a whirling motion. The deflector is preferably formed by making radial slots in a steel disk and twisting the sectors.
