Title: Improvements in and connected with the Valves of the Hydraulic Air Compressing Apparatus of Beer and other Engines.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JOHN CASAR
Filed: 1901-08-14
Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 16,321. Schneider, J. C. Aug. 14. Beer and other beverages, raising.-An appliance for compressing air for use with beer and other engines is shown in Fig. 1. A frame a carries a fixed disc c, which supports the water-supply pipe d and branched discharge pipe g, and also the branched air-supply pipe h and discharge pipe g<1>. An oscillating disc valve k, Fig. 3, is mounted on a spindle j, and is pressed against the fixed disc by a spring m, thus obviating leakage due to wear. The disc valve carries two arms o, which support the compressing-chambers r, which are fitted with rubber float valves u seating against openings t in the bent discharge pipes s. The arrangement of ports in the disc valve is such that, when the water supply is turned on, the water passes into the higher chamber r and compresses and forces out the air contained therein into the pipe g<1>, which is connected to the beer engine. When sufficient water has entered the chamber to raise the float valve, the apparatus rocks over, and the water passes away to waste, while the other chamber is being used as an air-compressor.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Roller Blind Shutters having an Adjustable Aperture.
Inventor: NAETHER OSWALD
Filed: 1901-08-19
Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 16,601. Nõther, O. Aug. 19. Shutters.-Relates to mechanism for adjusting the width of the slit in roller blind shutters. Fig. 1 shows the setting-roller of the shutter. The upper half f of the blind, in setting, is wound on the cylinder e, and the tapes d of the lower half are wound on the spools c, c. For winding up to set the shutter, the wheel m is turned. This turns the tube a, which is connected to the spools c, c by screws, and also the cylinder e, which is turned by a pin i connected to the axis h, the square end p of which fits in a square bush q detachably connected to the tube a. To vary the width of the exposure slit, the bush q is detached from the tube a by pulling back the head r, which is then turned, and thereby turns the cylinder e without rotating the spools c, c. The axis h is at the same time moved longitudinally by a helical groove k, and indicates on a scale at the left end of the width to which the slit is set. In a modification, the helical groove is replaced by a spiral on the face of the disc r.

Patent GB-190124587-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Tools.
Inventor: KELLER JULIUS
Filed: 1901-12-03
Granted: 1903-01-03
Abstract: 24,587. Keller, J. Dec. 3. Percussive hand tools.-A pneumatic rammer or stamper has a polygonal extension 4 on the piston 3 passing through a corresponding hole in a gland 7 and carrying the rammer or stamper 6. The piston may be held in its inner position, when not in use, by a spring ring 11 recessed into the cylinder 2 and adapted to clip the piston. The tool may have two handles 25, 26, as shown in Fig. 1, or a single handle 18, as shown in Fig. 2. In the form shown in Fig. 1, air enters by a passage 28 communicating with a port 29 and exhausts through passages 36, 27, while in the second form a passage 19 communicates with the port 29, and the air exhausts through a passage 36 and port 39. In each form, the admission of air is controlled by a valve 20 actuated by a thumb-lever 24. The port 29 is in constant communication with the interior and smaller face of a differential valve 12 having an axial movement in a casing 13, 14. As the piston approaches the inner end of its stroke, it uncovers a port 30 admitting air from the front end of the cylinder to passages 31, 32 to act on the larger face 33 of the valve and move it to the position shown in Fig. 1. The front end of the cylinder is then open to exhaust through the port 37, passage 38, port 34, annular recess 35 in the valve, and passage 36, while air is admitted to the rear end through the valve and ports 40, 41, a small opening 42 allowing live air to continue to act on the valve face 33 to hold it in the same position. During its outward stroke, the piston simultaneously uncovers a port 43 in the passage 31 and a port 44 in the passage 36, placing the valve face 33 in communication with the exhaust, thus allowing the valve to be moved to the position shown in Fig. 2 by the constant pressure on its smaller face. The rear end of the cylinder is then in communication with exhaust by means of the ports 41, 46, recess 35, and passage 36, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, while air is admitted to the front end through the port 34, passage 38, and port 37, to effect the inward stroke of the piston.

Granted: 1902-11-20
Abstract: 24,622. Boult, A. J., [Bocciardo, S.]. Dec. 3. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to the manufacture of leather outer covers for the pneumatic tyres of motor-car and other vehicle wheels. A circular, elliptical, or similarly-shaped ring A is cut out of an untanned hide, which has been previously unhaired and fleshed, the inner diameter of the ring being smaller than the diameter of the wheel. The ring is softened by soaking for a long time, first in water and then either in a 2 per cent. aqueous solution of potash alum, or in a strong solution of alkaline oxalate. The softened ring is stretched round a collapsable mandrel B of shape similar to that of the finished tyre, the width h of the ring A being sufficient to allow its inner and outer edges to be temporarily sewn together along the inner part of the mandrel. The stretched ring is soaked in a 1 per cent. aqueous solution of commercial sulphuric acid, and, after being subjected either to chrome tanning or formic aldehyde tanning, is removed from the mandrel and preferably lined with fabric or its equivalent.

Title: Improvements in Electric Silent Discharge Apparatus.

Filed: 1903-10-28
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 23,375. Schneller, A., and Koeleman, D. Oct. 28. Ozone.-In silentdischarge apparatus which is chiefly designed for the production of ozone, over-heating of the dielectric is prevented by circulating in contact with the pole surfaces a liquid which even at the extreme voltages employed possesses a high electric resistance and dielectric constant, thus allowing the ordinary solid dielectrics in some cases to be dispensed with. Vegetable or mineral oils, partially-saponified oils, benzene, and carbon bisulphide are given as examples of such liquids. The apparatus, shown in Fig. 7, consists of two liquid receptacles provided with inlet and outlet pipes and separated by plates p, r, between which the gas to be subjected to the discharge passes. The plate p is of metal enamelled on the upper side, and the plate r of a dielectric, such as glass or porcelain, or both plates may be of dielectric material. The oil &c. is circulated in the upper receptacle, in which are located a series of conducting points or strips connected with one pole of a high-tension transformer. The lower receptacle is connected to earth, and is filled with either water or oil, conducting points or strips being employed in the latter case. The lower receptacle may be dispensed with, and the conductor n attached to the plate p, or, as shown in Fig. 3, the discharge points a may be situated in the gas, from which the oil &c. is separated by a thin layer e of a solid dielectric. In some cases, the solid dielectric e is omitted.
