Abstract: 9852. Gillies, J. May 13. Seeds, sowing; planting-tools for garden use.- Relates to a machine for making drills in the ground for sowing or planting farm and garden crops. The frame a is of an ordinary construction, and carries a fixed bar b provided with a series of holes p. The tines e are triangular in shape and formed with wings. The stems f of the tines are mounted so as to be free to turn in the holes p of the bar b. Arms d, d are fixed on the top of the stems f, and are also connected to pins g turning in holes p in a movable bar c. The bar c is moved so as to adjust the position of the tines e by means of two levers h, h' coupled together and pivoted respectively at i and at o. By adjusting the position of the tines, the shape of the drill formed in the soil can be varied. The frame a is provided with a marker m having an adjustable depending arm for setting out the position for the next set of drills.

Title: Improvements in Filter and Extractor Presses.
Inventor: CROSSMAN JOHN GIBSON
Filed: 1902-04-10
Granted: 1902-06-12
Abstract: 8392. Crossman, J. G. April 10. Filter-presses.-Consists of an improved filter and extracting press such as is used in filtering wort. The frame a is pivoted on hollow trunnions, and the press can thus be tilted as required, or put in a vertical position when the supply of liquor being treated is insufficient to fill the frames completely. The frame a has an extensible end 9, 10, the limbs 10 of which slide between rollers 8 in guides 7 and have forked ends 12 engaging ribs 13. The frames and plates when in the frame a are guided by rollers, Fig. 6, engaging ribs on the inner sides of the limbs 10, and, when they are pulled beyond the frame a in opening the press, these rollers run between guides connected with the extension 9, 10. The frames h and plates i are formed with bosses which, when the press is closed, form external inlet and outlet pipes. The bosses l, communicating with the interior of the frames h, form the inlet pipes, and the bosses q, r, communicating with opposite sides of the plate i, form the outlet and wash-water pipes. The plates i are formed with diagonal corrugations p, and plain filter cloths are stretched between these plates and the frames h. In operation, the wort or other liquor to be treated is forced in by the hollow trunnion, pipe 3, and pipe l, and the filtered liquid escapes by one or both of the pipes q, r. At one end, the pipes q, r connect by a three-way cock 2 to a pipe leading to the other hollow trunnion, through which, when the filter is full, wash-water is introduced, the cock 2 being turned so that this wash-water enters one of the pipes q, r, and, after passing through the cakes, escapes by the other. Each of the bosses forming the pipes q, r is fitted with a cock, so that any filter cloth may be cut out, if desired.

Abstract: 9625. Wright, N. April 28. Baths.-Vapour baths are constructed so as to be collapsable and easily portable. The frame is supported by a rod 1, Fig.1, clamped to the back of an ordinary chair by slide-supports 3, carrying points or claws 4, and held in position by screws ; or a metal plate on the inside of the back may be pressed against the rod by bolts at its ends. The rod opposite the rod 6 of the frame is supported at its centre by a rod 11, having a base 12. At the corners of the frame are joints consisting of pivoted links or catches, so that the whole may fold up. The curtain, which is in one piece, hangs from the frame by a hemmed border or rings, while the perforated top C, Fig. 3, which is connected to the side-piece B along one edge, hangs over at D. The bath is heated by a lamp surmounted by a metal plate m, or layers of asbestos arranged in a metal frame, and surrounded by folding asbestos panels n, which soak up the water from a tray in which the lamp stands, and cause it to be vaporized by the heat of the lamp. The panels contain apertures, some of which, p, are covered with wire gauze. The Provisional Specification states that the screen may be of wire gauze, and that the tray of water is placed over the lamp.

Abstract: 17,530. Ceschina, G. Aug. 13. Mixing in definite proportions; moving - beater apparatus.-Semolina or flour for making dough is uniformly mixed in definite proportions w i t h water or a coloured solution, and then allowed to stand for a time so that the water may penetrate thoroughly. The semolina, in falling from a hopper to the bottom of the vertical mixing- column C, impinges on the vanes of a wheel R and turns it. By means of gear-wheels i, i, the wheel R turns the wheel r, and cups b attached to it take up water from the vessel V and discharge it into the duct G, from which it passes to the bottom of the column C. The supply of semolina from the hopper, and consequently the speeds of the wheels R, r and the supply of water, are regulated by a sluice with a graduated dial. The semolina &c. is thoroughly mixed by the revolution of the central shaft with its iron spiral plates, and is discharged from the spout M. Several sets of cups b, corresponding to different percentages of water, are provided. A coloured solution may take the place of the water, or a second wheel with cups may be provided to supply it. The central part C of the vertical column consists of a copper tube screwed into the upper and lower parts E, B, which are of cast iron lined with copper or bronze. The central shaft is supported on ball bearings S immersed in an oil bath v, and is rotated by means of a pulley P. The apparatus may be used for the formation of paste for other purposes.

Title: Improvements in Printing Telegraphs.
Inventor: SHEEHY ROBERT JAMES
Filed: 1904-05-12
Granted: 1904-06-23
Abstract: 10,986. Sheehy, R. J. May 12. Telegraphs; synchronous movements.-In step-bystep printing-telegraphs in which a rotary contactmaker or "sunflower" is employed, the sunflower is placed in a local circuit instead of in the main line, injurious sparking being thus minimized. An interrupter driven synchronously with the sunflower is introduced in the main line circuit. When the instrument is being used for receiving messages, the trailer of the sunflower is withdrawn from contact with the segments, thus diminishing friction. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus arranged for transmission. The shaft B, which is power-driven, bears the type-wheel T<2>, escapement wheel G, arresting-wheel I, sunflower trailer S, and toothed wheel C. The wheel C co-operates with an agate tooth d to set the arm D in oscillation, thus making and breaking the line circuit through the relay R. If the circuit is broken at d<2>, d<3>, the relay tongue R' falls back, and the circuit of the local battery LB is closed through the coil E of the escapement magnet, wire 2, and the coil 2, 1 of the differentially-wound printing magnet PM. The escapement being actuated, the shaft B turns through one step, and the line circuit is closed at d<2>, d<3>. Contact is then made at R<1>, r' and the coil E' receives the current, the escapement lever F being rocked over. The type-wheel thus advances stepby-step so long as no key is depressed. The depression of a key, such as K, closes the local circuit of an electromagnet H as soon as the trailer S reaches the corresponding segment, and the pawl h arrests the wheel I and shaft B. The duration of the current through the relay R, or of the cessation of current therein, as the case may be, is in this case sufficient to allow the electromagnet PM to be fully energized, an impression being consequently made at both stations by means of the lever T and platen T'. When receiving, the interrupter D is cut out by the switch s<1> and the switch s<2>, s<3> is thrown over so as to reverse the connection between the contacts r, r' and the windings of the escapement magnet. The switch s<2>, s<3> is interlocked through a lever 0 with a sleeve on the shaft B which carries the trailer of the sunflower, the trailer being thus withdrawn from contact with the segments except when transmission is taking place. Current reversals may be used in the line instead of current interruptions.
