Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Storing and Classifying Post Cards and the like also applicable for Teaching and Advertising Purposes
Inventor: LOUIS-DIDIER DES GACHONS
Filed: 1905-03-04
Abstract: 4570. Des Gachons, L.-D. March 4, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Displaying and storing. - Classifying - apparatus for displaying and storing post cards in shops, or the like, or for teaching-purposes, comprises a series of holders formed into au endless chain mounted upon supports which permit it to unwind. In the arrangement shown, the cards are inserted from each end between cars 3 formed on plates a connected together by rings b. Stops 4 are arranged in the centres of the plates. The cards may be pressed to the front of the holders by spring-actuated plates arranged in the holders. The holders may be provided with plates of glass or celluloid. The chain of cards is supported on a prismatic drum c, mounted in brackets d, or otherwise supported. When arranged against a wall, as shown, a partition e, which may have a desk f, or a window, may be provided. The drum c may be rotated by hand, or by an endless cord passing round a grooved pulley on the shaft of the drum. A drum may be provided also at the lower end of the chain. The card holders may be pivoted to chains passing over pulleys, or to bands of fabric. In the former case they may be arranged to turn over at the top of the path so as to show the reverse side. Card holders having two sides are formed by bending serrations on their edges alternately to opposite sides, two of the end teeth being formed into sleeves for a hinge pin.
Patent GB-190508358-A (GB)
Title: Process for the Production of Ammonia.
Inventor: WOLTERECK HERMAN CHARLES
Filed: 1905-04-19
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 8358. Woltereck, H. C. April 19. Ammonia ammonium sulphate.-Ammonia is produced wholly or partly from the nitrogen of the air by passing air and steam through carbonaceous material other than peat, maintained preferably at a temperature of 350‹-450‹ C. in vertical retorts. Little or no combustible gas is produced. The heat required for the maintenance of the reaction is furnished by the slow oxidation of the carbonaceous material. The temperature in the retorts is controlled by regulation of the supply of steam and air. When the reaction has been started, water in an atomized spray may be introduced into the retorts instead of steam. Sufficient air is supplied to consume the carbon of the charge completely in from three to six hours, the charge being replenished as it is consumed. To start the reaction, the lowest layer of charge is allowed to rise to a state of slow combustion accompanied even by glowing. The limits of the temperature mentioned may be exceeded or not quite reached. The gas produced is passed through scrubbers, an alkali tower, and into sulphuric acid.

Patent GB-190512782-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Method and Apparatus for Enriching Water with Air or the Oxygen of the latter for the purpose of Keeping Alive Animals Living in Water.
Inventor: FRIEDRICH JOSEF
Filed: 1905-06-20
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 12,782. Friedrich, J. June 20. Fish tanks.-Relates to apparatus for aerating the water in fish tanks and the like. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for transporting fish in which the aeration of the water is automatic. It consists of a receptacle 1 having a projection 2 at the bottom, so that the vessel rocks about during transport and thereby actuates the pumps 3 through the rods 7, 5, 4. Water is thus forced through the pipes 8 and sprayers 9 into a receptacle 10 containing a filter 11 and a number of porous surfaces 13, where it is purified and aerated before passing back to the receptacle 1. In another form of apparatus, the pump is worked by hand.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of Valve Casings.
Inventor: CRUSE HENRY
Filed: 1905-09-14
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 18,549. Cruse, H. Sept. 14. Casings; sliding valves. - A c o nstruction of valve casing applicable chiefly to sliding or full - way valves consists in forming the valve casing of two pressed, stamped, or wrought iron or steel dishes 1, 2, Fig. 1, which are flanged and united by bolts or rivets 3 passing through the flanges and through an intermediate caulking- ring 4. The caulking-ring extends into the casing so as to form a guide for the valve in connexion with a bridle 5 which is forked at the sides to embrace the caulking-ring. Instead of a flanged joint, however, the joint may take any of the forms shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6. The valve seatings are on the ends of two flanged pipes or sockets 7 riveted or welded into the mouths of the parts 1, 2.

Patent GB-190521825-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fuses for Projectiles.
Inventor: WATSON CHARLES PERCY
Filed: 1905-10-26
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 21,825. Watson, C. P. Oct. 26. Fuses for projectiles.- Relates to time - fuses, which may, however, be combined with a percussion device. The firing - pin 16, Fig. 1, is normally locked in the hollow piston-rod 6 by a spring bolt 17. The piston is retained in its rearmost, or unarmed, position by centrifugal safety arms 21, locked to the head 15 of the pistonrod by lugs 23. On discharge, the arms 21 are released and fly outwards, and the piston moves forward under the action of coiled springs 13, 14 until the bolt 17 springs into the annular recess 18 in the plug 4 and releases the firing-pin. The rate at which the piston moves is governed by an air valve 41, the degree of opening being controlled by a graduated screw 39. For percussion purposes, a nipple 25 is formed on the fixed disk 19, which is normally separated from the movable primer-plunger 31 by centrifugal barriers 33. In a modified form, Fig. 8, the time and percussion devices are separated, the firing-pin 50 of the former being located in the side of the plug 4.

Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 635. Moreaux, E. F. A. E., and Valcke, H. Smis-. Jan. 9. Points and switches.- The points are operated mechanically from the vehicle by a lever g, Fig. 3, or by the wheel flange depressing a rail a pivoted at the side of the track so that the rail moves in a direction opposite to the direction of travel. Four pivoted rails a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, Fig. 6, are provided and are connected by rods c to armsj, k of a four-armed lever. One arm h, Fig. 4, of this lever is connected to the stretcher bar m, and another i engages a spring locking-bolt p. When it is desired to open the branch road 0 from the main road A, the motorman lowers the lever g to depress the pivoted rail a<2>, which, acting through the four-armed lever, shifts the points, and at the same time the rails a<3>, a<1> are raised and the rail a4 lowered. The pivoted rails a<3>, a<4> may be so placed as to be acted upon by the wheel flange so that it would be unnecessary for the motorman to lower the operating-lever g on passing on to the rail A from either of the rails B, C. The points may be operated manually by turning the pivot pin I.,

Granted: 1907-09-07
Abstract: 20,005. Perini, V. A. de. Sept. 8. Drawings to Specification. Obtaining fibres; processes; retting; breaking and scutching apparatus. - A weed belonging to the malvacea of the pavonia class, which was discovered by the applicant in Brazil, and cultivated and named by him " Canhamo Braziliensis Perini," is utilized in the production of fibrous material for textile purposes and for paper-making. The plant after three months' growth produces a material resembling silk, after four months a material resembling flax, and after six months a material resembling hemp. The crop is sun-dried, tied up in small bundles, and soaked, in wood or cement tanks not more than one metre deep, in water containing 2000 grams of sodium chloride and 1000 grams of sodium carbonate per cubic metre, at a temperature of 21-38‹ C. for 75 to 192 hours according to the age of the plant. The bundles are then washed to free them from salts and chlorophyl, dried by the sun or by artificial heat, and scutched by cogged cylinders, the pressure on which is gradually increased from the first to the last. The wood and stalk are thus broken and pressed out. A ventilator clears the fibres of small bits of stalk. The fibres are next beaten out and straightened by a number of round wooden bars fixed on wheels to an axle driven at 1200 revolutions per minute. For making wood pulp, the stalks and woody matter from the scutchers are boiled for seven hours with a 7 per cent soda solution at 115‹ C. under 1¢ atmospheres pressure, washed with hot water, treated in a Hollander for four hours, and dried for the market, or bleached and made into paper direct.
