Patent GB-191115388-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Incandescent Gas Mantles and a Method of Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: UNRUH MAX VON
IPC: F21H3/00
Filed: 1911-07-01
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 15,388. Unruh, M. von, and Weigel, A. July 1. Mantles. - A mantle, closed at one end, is made by forming a piece of fabric in the shape of a development of the mantle surface, rolling the piece to form the mantle, and connecting the meeting edges by a thread, or by sewing, cementing, or otherwise, the fabric being formed at suitable places with contracted meshes or the like so as to give the necessary curvature to the mantle. Fig. 3 shows a piece of fabric before being bent to form the mantle. The meeting edges may be secured together by a thread or the like passing through loops 1, and the base may be closed by drawing another thread through loops 2. The mantle is contracted at the open end 4 by contracting the meshes or otherwise in order that it may be attached to the supporting-ring without folds, and is also formed with a rib 6. The mantle may be made from several pieces, the meeting-edges may be inclined or zigzag instead of vertical, and the mantle may be closed by an inserted piece instead of by the loops.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Multicolour Photogravures.
Inventor: SAALBURG CHARLES WILLIAM
IPC: G03F3/04
Filed: 1911-07-21
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 16,790. Saalburg, C. W. July 21. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-Relates to an improvement on the method described in Specification 11,528/10 for obtaining separate printing-surfaces for the component colours. The component negatives are, in accordance with the above-mentioned Specification, mounted endways on a glass plate, and marked for subsequent subdivision with an allowance for a margin. A piece of carbon tissue, cut lengthways, is exposed under a screen and then independently exposed under the negatives simultaneously. According to the present invention, instead of cutting the prints and manipulating them separately under identical conditions, the undivided carbon tissue is first of all washed as a whole before it is divided into separate points for subsequent identical treatment. The division may be effected under the water. The prints are afterwards used as transfer resists for obtaining etched printing- surfaces. Specifications 22,776/09 and 11,527/10 are also referred to.

Granted: 1913-03-17
Abstract: 6461. Thompson, N. A. March 15. Suspending and mounting bodies and undercarriages.-In running and alighting gear for flying - machines and running - gear for other vehicles such as cycle-cars, of the kind described in Specification 18,384/09, [Class 144 (i), Wheels &c.], the wheel rim is offset from the plane of the hub, and is connected to the hub at the inner edge by a conical reinforced disk f and at the outer edge by a similar disk or by spokes i, j. The swivelling axis b of the wheel is offset from the part l connected to the outriggers described in the abovementioned Specification, and is fractionally damped to reduce lateral oscillations. The axis o of the wheel a is carried from the axis b by a frame n. A sleeve s and friction washer p surround the bolt m and reduce lateral oscillation. In a modified bearing, Fig. 3, the frame n is formed with internal threads to take adjustment collars r, r<1>, either of which may be formed in one with the sleeve. By screwing-up the lower collar, more pressure is brought to bear on the washer. According to the Provisional Specification, the axis b may be inclined when viewed in side and front elevation, and a locking-device may be used to restrain the swivelling of the axis and check the collapse of the outrigger parallelogram when load comes off the wheel.

Title: Improvements in Gas Meters.

IPC: G01F15/04
Filed: 1912-03-30
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 7765. Kent, W. G., and Hodgson, J. L. March 30. Gas meters.-Relates to means interposed between a gas meter and its counting-mechanism for compensating for changes in pressure or pressure and temperature. A wheel e, fast on the first spindle of the counter, is driven by a pawl d actuated from the meter spindle through a length of travel dependent on the pressure or pressure and temperature of the gas. As shown in Fig. 1, the pawl d is carried by a frame c rotated by a worm a on the meter spindle. The pawl has an extension d' and a holding-off arm f. During each rotation of the frame c, a fixed stop f<2> contacts with the arm f, and the pawl d meshes with the wheel e and drives it until a stop g contacts with the extension d<1> and lifts the pawl out of gear. The position of the stop g is determined by a sector h and crank i connected to a battery of aneroids j. A closed chamber containing air, with a flexible diaphragm at one end, may be substituted for the aneroids j, to give a combined pressure and temperature correction. For higher pressures, a battery of stiff diaphragms or a Bourdon tube open to the atmosphere may be used. As shown in Fig. 5, the pawl d is carried by an arm o, which is lifted by a cam n on the meter spindle and drops until its point n<1> rests on a cam p set by the aneroids or like devices. Specifications 20,360/08, [Class 106, Registering &c.], and 12,668/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 22,862. Boult, A. J., [American Office Machine Co.]. Oct. 7. Passing materials through fluid-supplying apparatus. - In making typewriter-ribbons, a section of a long web of ribbon is progressively impregnated with the ink and wound upon a typewriter-spool, and the section then cut off. The web X is drawn from a long length wound on a rotatable spool 55 housed in a drum 56 through a slot 62 in the front wall of a removable ink-pot 38. Additional frictional resistance to the travel of the web may be provided by the interposition of a slotted plate 68. The web is deflected into the ink-bath by a removable bar 63 preferably upwardly-curved between its ends to make the web follow the median plane of the apparatus. The web then passes through a pair of rollers 43, 44 which knead the ink into the web and remove any surplus, and is finally delivered through a notch 86 in the wall of the ink-pot 38 to a spool 72. There is preferably provided between the notch 86 and the spool 72, a bracket &c. 89 over which the web X is deflected so as to obtain more even winding on the spool. The machine is operated by means of a hand-crank 52 carried by a driving-shaft 41; the lower roll 43 is carried by this shaft in the ink-pot 38 and gearing 53, 54 at the farther end of the shaft actuates the upper roll 44, which is preferably provided with a yielding surface. The pot 38 is provided with a cover 45 housing the upper roll 44, which is hinged on one side and provided with means, such as a pair of clamping-screws 49, on the other for the adjustable depression of the cover, so regulating the pressure between the rolls 43, 44.

Couplings, automatic, comprising integral links and hooks 1, 5 are pivoted at their rear ends, either directly or through links 11, to cross-heads 13 which are connected to the drawgear and arranged to slide in slots in hollow brackets 16 or buffer heads. The hook portion 5 is held centrally in engagement with the opposing link by pivoted plates 4, Figs. 6 and 8, weighted at 7 and cut away at 6 to receive the hook. The coupler is operated from either side of the vehicle by levers 29, Fig. 3, pivoted at 30 and connected to a stirrup 22 embracing the coupler, and is retained in the position for automatic coupling by a catch 35, which engages a slotted bar 27 and is released from the side of the vehicle by a cranked shaft 39. The levers 29 may also be locked by catches 48, or, in a modification in which the levers engage directly with the underside of the coupler, by the engagement of teeth formed on the levers with a fixed rack. In order to allow the coupling to be tightened, the connexion to the crosshead 13 may be in the form of an eccentric 58, Fig. 6, adapted to be rotated from the side of the vehicle by jointed shafting. Couplings, applications of indicators to.- The position of the coupler is indicated by coloured disks 70, 74 or lamps carried by pivoted levers connected at 72, 73 to the levers 29, as shown in Fig. 3, so that one or other of the disks projects beyond the side of the vehicle according as the coupler is raised or lowered.
