Patent GB-190109698-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cigarette Packing Machines.
Inventor: RANKIN HENRY
Filed: 1901-05-09
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 9698. Rankin, H. May 9. Packeting or parcelling cigarettes.-The machine is an improvement on that described in Specification No. 4871, A.D. 1900, and by it drawer-andshell boxes with an end flap to the drawer are automatically opened, filled, and closed. The boxes are fed to an intermittently-revolving wheel 13, with four recesses 14, from the bottom of a shoot 2 by a slide 27. At the next station a plunger 34 pushes the drawer out of the shell, and, as the box revolves with the third position, the flap is engaged and turned down by a curved plate 41. A row of cigarettes from the hopper 3 is now thrust into the drawer by a plunger 51, a spring blade on the rod 45 first entering the drawer to guide the cigarettes. As the wheel makes its next movement, the flap is turned back by a curved plate 58, and the drawer is forced back into the shell by a plunger 60, which also forces the box out of the wheel. The plunger 60 is operated by an arm on the slipper 52, which carries a book 64 for withdrawing the plungers; the hook is released by a fixed cam 66.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: LANCASTER WILLIAM JAMES
Filed: 1901-05-31
Granted: 1902-05-08
Abstract: 11,184. Lancaster, W. J. May 31. Cameras; change-bores.-Relates to a panoramic camera and also a change-box combined with an ordinary camera or a panoramic camera. Referring to the plan of the panoramic camera, Fig. 4, the film is drawn from one spool b<1> round guides b<3>, which keep it in contact with the curved plate c on to the receiving-spool b<2>. The lens e is mounted inside a drum, which is rotated always in the same direction by clockwork. On opposite sides of this drum are slits f<1>, f<2>, through which the rays of light pass to and from the lens, those leaving the lens being focussed in a narrow band on the film at c, the band being traversed across the film by the rotation of the lens. The drum is furnished with two stops on the top, by means of which and a detent the drum can be rotated half a revolution at a time. The change-box is shown in vertical section in Fig. 7. The unexposed plates or films are placed in grooves q<2> of the upper compartment of the box t, and are supported by the fixed partition n. When the box t is moved forward by turning the screw n, the front plate, after exposure, drops into the lower compartment as soon as it has passed over the end of the fixed partition n. The grooves r<2> in the lower compartment are continuous with the grooves q<2> in the upper compartment. Each plate after exposure is dropped in the same way into the lower compartment, by pushing forward the box t another step by means of the screw. Curved films are placed in the change-box in the case of a panoramic camera.

Abstract: 17,232. Crossley, E. E. W. Feb. 2, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Incrustation, removing; check valves.-The scale which accumulates about the check valve and its seat of a boilerwater feed device, is removed by lifting the valve 4 from its seat and allowing water and steam to rush past it into the inlet passage 8 and out through a valve at the side. The valve 4 is raised by a screw-threaded rod 16 engaging the bifurcated head 13 of a tube 12 and operated by a hand-wheel 17. The tube 12 has an operating arm 15, a screw-threaded part to engage the screw-threaded part 11 of the tubular part 7, and forks to enter between the wings 5 of the check valve to enable it to be turned in contact with its seat so as to remove attached scale.

Abstract: 23,115. Lamme, B. G. April 17, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Armatures; field magnets.-A winding for electric machines, particularly machines having cores with closed or nearly-closed slots, is built up of a number of coils of similar form and dimensions, each of which is composed of a number of turns of either strap or wire, which are bent or wound into final form, except at one end, before being inserted endwise into the core slots. After insertion, the coils are connected up at their free ends to form a symmetrical ventilated winding. Fig. 1 is a dia-. gram of a two-phase four-pole winding. The coils 1, 2 are each composed of three separatelybent straps of similar form, and are arranged in pairs, (one shown in Fig. 3), which are inserted into the core slots at opposite ends alternately. The free ends 4, 5, 6 and 7, 8, 9 are afterwards bent over and connected up by couplings 13 in the required manner. The closed ends are bent inwards and offset as shown at 10, Fig. 2. A. modification is described, in which the closed ends are bent at right-angles to the sides of the coil. In the case of a wire-wound coil, the coil is first wound on a former, and is then severed at one end and bent for insertion into the slots.

Title: An Improved Belt Pulley for Varying Speeds
Inventor: OSBORNE RYLE SAMUEL
Filed: 1902-11-19
Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 25,400. Osborne, R. S. Nov. 19. Pulleys; chainwheels; mounting and securing pulleys &c. on shafts.-A variable-speed belt pulley consists of two conical parts a, a', one of which, a', is mounted on the shaft b and the other is free to move laterally for the purpose of varying the diameter of the V-shaped groove between the two parts. This motion is rendered possible by mutually-engaging radial slots d and portions separating them in the parts a, a<1>. The slots may extend through the parts in a slightly-spiral direction. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the slots d are arranged in concentric circles, forming a series of steps which may constitute, or be provided with, cogs to engage with a chain. Strengthening-ribs e are placed at the backs of the parts of the pulley. The following preferred method for adjusting and locking in position the side a of the pulley is also described in Specification No. 6379, A.D. 1903. A sleeve f on the movable part a is perforated to receive balls g which enter recesses h in the shaft b. A fork in the groove e moves the part a, and a ring i, when in the position shown, locks the balls in the recesses. The ring may be moved by means of a fork to bring the groove l over the balls, so that the part a may be adjusted, the balls then riding over the edges of the recesses.
Patent GB-190227430-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Racking off Beer and other Liquors.
Inventor: HARRIS WILLIAM PLOMER
Filed: 1902-12-12
Granted: 1903-02-19
Abstract: 27,430. Harris, W. P. Dec. 12. Filling with liquids.-In racking off beer or other liquids into casks or barrels, a reducing- valve is used to enable the liquid to be delivered at a uniform low pressure to prevent frothing and the escape of gases. The reducing-valve which it is preferred to use is that described in Specification No. 27,427, A.D. 1902, and shown in Fig. 3, but any reducing-valve may be used. The reducing- valve D is interposed between the main C, from which the casks &c. are filled, and the vat or reservoir A. It consists of a balanced valve E, the spindle of which is connected with a float I by a chain J. When the pressure is too high, or the liquid flows too rapidly, the liquid rises in the tube H and lifts the float, which closes the valve against its seating G<1>, G'. Thus the valve can be so balanced that the liquid escaping at the outlet d<1> will be always at the same pressure. The apparatus is fitted so that the vat can be also filled from a pipe K<1> through the outlet C<1>, and the main C may be in connection with another vat through the pipe P.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Fluid-pressure Engines, particularly Sulphurous-acid Engines.
Inventor: SPOONER ARTHUR FREEMORE
Filed: 1903-11-05
Granted: 1904-11-05
Abstract: 24,056. Spooner, A. F., [Girard, S. M.]. Nov. 5. Axial-shaft and reciprocating-piston type.-A sulphurous-acid vapour engine is shown in Figs. 2 and 5. The cylinder 1 contains a partitional piston 2 having an outer chamber 4 to contain a lubricant, and an inner chamber containing two sets of spring-controlled pawls 10 adapted to engage respectively with two ratchet-wheels 7 having their teeth set in opposite directions. The ratchetwheels have lateral ball bearings 6. The ratchetwheel hubs have projections adapted to engage with a screw-threaded part 8<a> of the driving-shaft 8. A slide valve regulates the supply and exhaust of the motive fluid, and the reciprocations of the piston produce a continuous rotation of the shaft. Sulphurous acid from a reservoir 19 passes through a pipe 33 fitted with a governorcontrolled valve 15 and eccentric-actuated admission valves 34 to a coil vaporizer 35 in which it is vaporized by hot water in a boiler 29 containing an electrical heater. The vapour then passes through a pipe to the slide valve. The exhaust passes into a tubular condenser 17, and is returned by a pump to the vaporizer.
