Title: Improvements in the Construction of Furnaces, Muffles and Kilns.
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM PIKE
Filed: 1905-07-03
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 13,614. Gibbons, W. P., Masters, R., and Baeddicker G. A. July 3. Gaseous fuel furnaces and kilns. - Relates to furnaces, muffles, and kilns particularly applicable for annealing metal articles, for hardening, tempering, and enamelling, for burning pottery, and for melting various substances. The invention is described in connexion with an annealing muffle. Fig. 1 shows a cross-section of the muffle and furnace, and Fig. 3 shows a section on the line C-D of Fig. 1. Gas from a producer passes through passages 6 into the combustion chamber 3 beneath the muffle 1, where it is mixed with heated air, which enters inlets 8, 9 at the front of the furnace, and passes along a series of tortuous passages 17, 10, 13, 15, 7 in the side walls before entering the combustion chamber 3. The combustion products escape through passages 26 in the roof of the combustion chamber to longitudinal passages 28, and thence to vertical side passages 29 in the muffle walls. The latter passages communicate by means of passages in the arch of the muffle with longitudinal flues 33, 34, communicating by way of damper-controlled passages 37, 38 with the main flue 35 leading to the stack. The floor 2 of the muffle is formed of interlocking slabs, and the side walls, in order to increase the heating surface, are built up of recessed bricks 44 backed up by slabs 46 arranged to break joint with the bricks 44. When the invention is applied to regenerative furnaces, the waste heat from the flues 33, 34 is carried down side flues in such a way as to heat the side walls of the secondary air passages. Where it is desired for the flame to play inside the muffle 1 and travel along under the top arch, the side walls 42 are made with passages communicating with the side passages 29, and the roof of the muffle is provided with passages communicating with the upper flues 33, 34. An additional supply of air to the combustion chamber 3 is supplied through inlets in the front of the furnace to passages 47, 48 which communicate with one another, the latter passage also communicating by way of ports 49 with the combustion chamber. Specifications No. 1269, A.D. 1893, Nos. 7210 and 8779, A.D. 1899, and No. 186, A.D. 1902, are referred to.

Filed: 1905-11-13
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 23,303. Crisp, T. E., and Fry, R. J. Nov. 13. Traps. - Spring- jaw traps are arranged so as to release hoofed animals such as sheep, but to retain soft-footed animals s u c h as rabbits. Two plates dare pivoted by loops d<1> large enough to allow the plates to rise and fall somewhat below the jaws c so as to lie over them when the trap is set. If when the trap is sprung the plates are prevented from closing by the presence of an animal's hoof between them, they hold the jaws apart as shown in Fig. 4, but if the trap has been sprung by a soft foot on which the plates can close, the jaws pass over their tops and grip it in the usual way. A gapped spring may be substituted for the ordinary spring-eye and actuate the plates, or the latter may be forced up by the jaws. Stops c<2> are attached to the jaws to hold the plates up when the jaws have passed them. The trap is set by one of the jaws engaging with a catch e<3> on the bait plate e. Pressure on the plates d will release it. In a modification, the plates d are hinged to the jaws and furnished with stops at their lower ends. The base-plate may be formed in one piece with bent-up lugs, to which the jaw sides are pivoted, and parts for supporting the trigger hinge or pivot.

Patent GB-190620782-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Plate Holder Attachments for Photographic Cameras.
Filed: 1906-09-19
Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 20,782. Kodak, Ltd., [Locke, H. W.]. Sept. 19. Cameras.-Plate-holder attachments are arranged so that continuous motion of an operating-member in one direction brings the plate-holder into position for exposure, simultaneously displaces the focusing-screen, then withdraws the curtain shutter for exposure, the plate-holder and its guide being adjustable as a whole relatively to the camera back to permit several exposures to be made on a single plate. The main frame 1, Figs. 1 and 5, is attached to the camera back by a spring catch 13. The plate-holder attachment 15 slides along this, and a spring bolt 8 and notches 16 along the upper edge of the attachment 15 gives the step-by-step adjustment for taking a series of photographs on different sections of the same plate. The plate-holder is attached to the sliding frame 15 by a dowel pin 23, and a spring catch 24. The back of the curtainslide shutter 29 carries a catch 31 with an enlarged head 32, Fig. 5, which co-operates with the forked members 33 of a resilient arm 34. This arm also carries an eye 36 sliding on a guide-rod 37, which is supported in slotted brackets 38 and is under the pressure of springs 39. The action of the arm 34 and springs 39 automatically tilts and releases the dark slide when the spring catch 24 is released by pressing in the recess 26. After focusing with the screen in the position shown in Fig. 2, the sliding member 35 carrying the arm 34 is moved towards the right. A projection 50 carries the spring 46, Fig. 7, of the slide 21 with it, and displaces the focusing-screen. The focusing-screen is stopped by a projection 42 when the dark slide is in position for exposure. At this moment, the spring 46 has passed over the stop 52, releasing the end of the spring from the catch 50. The sloped part 53 of this catch then moves the end of the spring inwards, forcing a pin 47 into a slot 48 and thereby locking the slide 21 against movement in either direction. On continuing the movement of the member 35, the arm 34 slides on the guide-rod 37 and draws back the curtain shutter to expose the plate, the full exposure being indicated by contact between the stops 44, 45. On reversal of the motion after exposure, the slide 21 is locked until the shutter of the dark slide is completely returned. The projection 50 has meanwhile passed the spring and reached the end 51 of the dark slide, which it then carries with it to replace the focusing-screen.

The denomination stops 44, which co-operate with the adjustable column stops 43 on the carriage 12, consist of the upper forwardly-extending ends of a series of upright levers 45, arranged closely together at the back of the machine and actuated by central parallel push-rods 80 from keys 64 spaced at any desired distance apart across the machine behind the ordinary keyboard. The levers 45 are pivoted on a cross-rod 49 of a framework 46 attached to the machine framing by screw bolts 52, 55 passing through screw plugs 51,54 for vertical adjustment. The levers 45 are guided at the upper end by a slotted plate 50, and play at the lower end in grooves in a cross-bar 56. A spring 59 bears behind each lever 45 below the pivot 49. The keys 64 are on levers 65 fast to rock-shafts 66, which are shown as hollow shafts mounted on rods secured by set-screws 76 in side brackets 75 and a central bracket 72 on a frame 67 attached to the machine framing by screws 68, 70. The key-levers 65 pass through a comb plate 71 forming the front cover-plate of the machine. Each shaft 66 is provided with an arm 78 to actuate the push-rod 80 for the corresponding lever 45. The push-rods 80 lie at the rear in the grooves in the cross-bar 56, and at the front in grooves 79 in the frame 67, The levers 45 and arms 78 are notched to prevent the push-rods 80 from being raised out of the grooves. The arms 78 are made progressively longer, and the shafts 66 are at corresponding levels to compensate for the different lengths of the key-levers 65. The machine shown is provided with sub-levers 31 upstanding in the path of the push-rods 80, which are spaced to pass between the sub-levers 31, and are slightly fanned inwards to the narrower arrangement of the levers 45 ; otherwise the push-rods 80 could be straight. The column stops 43 aie of inverted U -shape, and are slipped over a grooved tabulator bar 40 from the top. The bar 40 is mounted on brackets 41 on the carriage 12, and the brackets 8 carrying the upper carriage rail 9 are arched for the passage of the bar 40 and stops 43. For carriage release when tabulating, a rack-lifter 96 is provided in connexion with a universal bar 82 situated behind the levers 45. An arm 89, extending from the universal bar 82, carries a headed pin 90 engaging with a slotted link 91 pivoted to a lever 92 carrying the racklifter 96. The link 91 is adjustable in length, the lower section 95 screwing on the upper section, and it is preferred to adjust the section 95 so that there is sufficient lost motion to ensure that the tabulator stop is in position before the carriage is released.

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 28,003. Fox, C. A., Webb, F. L., and Lawrence, J. L. Dec. 8. Extincteurs; automatic appliances.-An extincteur 6, Fig. 1, is pivotally suspended in the bifurcated end of a swinging hanger 1, and is normally held in a slightly tilted position by a fusible connexion 18, on the melting of which the extincteur 6 swings about trunnions 5 into an inverted position, thereby causing the release of the acid from the acid bottle, and simultaneously the hanger 1 is released and oscillates about its pivot 2 ; the contents of the extincteur are thus scattered over the floor and ceiling on being forced through spraying-nozzles 35. The hanger 1 is released by means of lug 17 on one of the trunnions 5; the lug engages one end of a lever 11 pivoted at 8, as the extincteur 6 swings .round, thus releasing a hook 12 from a toothed quadrant 13. A wire loop or bail 7 then rotates gearing 10, 15, 13 until the bail 7 slips out of the space between two teeth of the spur wheel 10. When the extincteur 6 is inverted, a weight 27, Fig. 2, slides down a rod 26 and operates a rod 31, in order partly to withdraw the stopper 24 from the acid bottle 23. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the extincteur 6 is supported by a fusible link g ; when released, it swings round and operates a lever d, thus disengaging a catch 10<1> in the form of a bell-crank lever from a slotted support 7<1>, whereby the hanger 1<1> is free to oscillate.
