Patent GB-191023385-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Treating Certain Forms of Deafness.
Inventor: HACKETT EDWARD HAWKESWORTH
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 1910-10-10
Granted: 1911-10-10
Abstract: 23,385. Hackett, E. H., and Greenwood, J. W. Oct. 10. Ear instruments; pneumatic appliances.-In an apparatus for treating deafness, air pulsations, causing increased or reduced pressure, are produced by the reciprocation of a stretched elastic diaphragm connected to an armature. The rate, length, and strength of the vibrations can be varied, and several persons may be treated simultaneously. The diaphragm 7 closes the air - chamber 4 mounted on a longitudinally adjustable base 2, and is linked to an H-shaped armature 11, which is pivoted to the base and is adapted to lie partly between the poles 13<2> of electromagnets 13 mounted on pivots 13<1> and provided with a make-andbreak 19-30. When current flows, the armature is moved directly between the poles, and causes the diaphragm 7 to produce an increase or decrease of pressure in the air-chamber according as the armature was originally on one side or the other of the poles 13<2>; when current stops, the armature is released and the diaphragm rebounds by its own elasticity until the lever 12 carrying the armature is brought against one of two stops 31, 32 on levers 31<1>, 32<1> brought into position by cams operated by a handle 35<3>. The circuit is broken and made by the attraction and release of an armature 19 on an arm 20, which is borne by a spring 21 and carries the spring contact 28 engaging the screw contact 29. The rate of make-and-break, and therefore of the pulsations, is varied by the adjustment of a weight 24, acting as a pendulum, on a rod 23 connected to the arm 20 by a screw 22. The strength of pulsation is increased by bringing the poles 13<2> nearer together by the screw adjustment 14, or by placing the coils in parallel instead of in circuit by a switch device D, or by both of these operations. The pulsations may be transmitted by a pipe 5, or by a cylinder provided with several outlet pipes and a suitably apertured inner cylinder or other control. The tension of the diaphragm 7 can be adjusted.

Title: Improvements in Propelling Devices for Boats.
Inventor: NAPIER GEORGE REED
IPC: B63H1/36
Filed: 1911-09-26
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 21,272. Napier, G. R. Sept. 26. Propelling by reciprocating plates.-Feathering blades 1 are pivotally attached to the bifurcated ends of vertically reciprocating rods 5 which are arranged in pairs on either side of the boat, and are operated by the hand-lever 13, 17. The rods 5 have lugs 8 to which the feathering-rods 9 and springs 10 are attached, the rods 9 being attached to the forward ends of ribs 2 on the blades at one of the pivot holes 11. The rods 5 have also stops 12 to limit the swinging motion of the blades. The tendency of the springs 10 is to keep the rear edge of each blade lower than the front edge, which is augmented on the upward stroke and counteracted on the downward stroke by the pressure of the water. The movements of the blades propel the boat and tend to act as hydroplanes to raise it. In a modification, a gas engine through reducing gear effects the oscillation of the operating-lever 13.

Abstract: 9049. Marx, R. April 17. Pulping-engines.-In beating-engines of the Hollander type for the manufacture of paper, wood pulp, or the like, the trough is made with parallel sides and semicircular ends. The floor slopes downwards from the base of the back-fall to a point a little in front of the bed-plate, to which it slopes gently upwards, and also outwards, the outward slope being at its maximum at the line D D<1>, and gradually diminishing to zero at the line F F'. The midfeather also has parallel sides and semicircular ends, but its axis may be at a short distance from the axis of the trough so that the passage for the pulp may be somewhat wider at the side where the roll is situated. The floor and the sides of the trough are joined by curves of varying radii, their centre being indicated by the lines X Y. With mixtures of more than ordinary consistency, or with an engine working at a greater speed, the outward slope and the radius of the curves are increased. The bearings of the beater roll 15 are carried by arms 14<b> supported in hollow links 25, which may be raised and lowered to adjust the roll to the bed-plate 18 by rotating the hand-wheel 28 which acts through worm-gearing. The effective pressure of the roll on the bed-plate is determined by the position of a weight 29 on a lever 22, pivoted at 23 and connected to the arms 14<b> by hollow links 20, which are provided with screw unions 24 for adjustment. In a beating- engine having two oppositely-placed beater-rolls, the floor slopes downwards and outwards from the back-fall of each roll to the front-rise of the other.
