Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1905-11-04
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 22,621. Thompson, W. P., [Schmitz, A.]. Nov. 4. Testing water; testing, special apparatus for.- Relates to apparatus for indicating the amount of caustic soda required for the precipitation of lime salts &c. in the water of a boiler in operation. and consists in checking the colour test by a colourremoving test and also in indicating the amount of precipitation by means of a hydrometer. Glass cylinders 2, 3 are fixed upon a plate 1 and are connected by the cock 4. Behind the glass 3 are plates 19 similar to those described in Specification No. 14,054, A.D. 1905. The water under test is admitted to the vessel 2 by the three-way cock 6 from the tube 5, and the colour test is made by admitting reagent, say rosaniline solution, from one of the vessels 7, 8, 9 ; the coloured water is then run into the vessel 3, and an acid solution, serving as the colour-removing reagent, is admitted in drops from the vessel 10. The amount of this reagent required to discharge the colour indicates the correctness of the colour reaction, and thus serves as a check upon it. The concentration of soda in the water and hence the amount of deposit which has occurred in the boiler is indicated by admitting water to the vessel 17 by the tubes 14, 16, and noting the reading of the float 18 ; the rising of the float above the proper mark indicates excess of deposit.

Patent GB-190604205-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Protecting Devices against Torpedo Attack.
Filed: 1906-02-20
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 4205. Soc. Anon. des forges et Chantiers de la MÚditerranÚe. Aug. 23, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Protecting ships; frames and framing.-In order to avoid excessive damage in the event of an explosion of a torpedo, several successive walls or partitions are built along the sides'of vessels. The outer covering of plates A is of the usual construction, and is supplemented by a wall B secured to the inner side of the ribs. A longitudinal partition C of ordinary plates is constructed running parallel to the wall B, and farther inboard is a second partition D of considerably thicker plates. The partitions C, D are secured to each other and the vessel by vertical transverse partitions arranged the same distance apart as the vessel's frames. The partitions extend above the water-line and are covered by a thin horizontal plate. The damage caused bythe explosion of a mine or torpedo is thus only local, the spaces between the partitions acting as safety vents. In a modified arrangement, the partition D is run up to form the vessel's side.
Patent GB-190606185-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Presses.
Inventor: ANDE FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1906-03-14
Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 6185. AndÚ, F. March 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Delivery, regulating.- In connexion with the supply of fluid pressure to hydraulic presses by low-speed pumps, the suction valves of the latter are operated at intervals so that communication may be made between the supply tank and pump or ram cylinder for the purpose of rendering the movement of the rams independent of the movement of the pump piston at any given time. Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a press, the tank 12 of which is connected to the pump 2 or the rams 1 by the pipes 20, these being provided with a valve 3 which automatically closes during the discharge stroke of the pump. The valve may, however, be raised and held open by the roller 5 on the cross-head 4 acting on the adjustable cam 8 mounted on the rod 7, which is pivoted to the levers 6. The valve 3 is thus held open while the crank passes over the arc x y, and during this time the rams remain at rest and the table of the press is rotated. In one modification, the cross-head is connected directly to the lever 6 of the spindle 9. A modified form of apparatus for operating the cam 8 during the working of the machine is shown in Fig. 3. In the form shown in Fig. 5, two mechanically-operated valves 3, 30 are shown between the ram and the pump. Cams 24, 25 worked from the crank-shaft operate the valves through weighted levers 26, 27. In the form shown, the cam-disks make one complete revolution to each three strokes of the pump. The object of this is to raise the ram by steps in accordance with the curve shown in Fig. 6. In a modification of this apparatus, the valve 30 is arranged so as to be automatically closed by the pressure in the ram cylinder. In the form shown in Fig. 8, communication is established between the pump cylinder and the tank by means of the cam disks 24, 25 and the valves 3, 30 at the moment of highest pressure so that at that movement only a piston 100 of smaller diameter exercises the pressure required, so that smaller power is required for the same speed of working.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Fixing Lace Flies or Flaps to Paper Boxes.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1906-03-23
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 7062. Lake, H. W., [Stokes & Smith Co.]. March 23. Feeding sheets.-Flies or lace papers are attached to paper boxes by means of the machine illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, and 6. A pack of previously cut flies is supported on a table 56, Fig. 2, normally pressed upwards by a spring, and is kept in place by side and end gauges 60, 61. Hooked leaf springs also slightly ovehang the uppermost fly. The gumapplying stencil 9 is then coated with gum by means of a roll 26, mounted on a shaft 27 in a carriage 28, Fig. 1, which is reciprocated from the cam-operated rock-shaft 51. The roll 26 receives its supply from a roll mounted on a shaft 40 and rotating in a tank 32, an adjustable evener-roll being provided on the shaft 35. The plunger 6 carrying the stencil 9 is then depressed by means of a lever 12, operated from a cam 19 of the main shaft 20, thus gumming one edge of the uppermost fly, the pack of flies being held by the flat face 67 of the clamping-lever 66. As the plunger ascends, the gummed edge of the fly is slightly lifted, and a clamping-anvil is caused to move in under it. The anvil consists of a number of blocks 90 with hooked ends 91, Fig. 6, and inclined faces 92, removably fixed to a carrier 94 by set-screws 99, and is operated from a cam-groove in the disk 74 by means of the rod 106, bell-crank 103, and links 101. The box A is then placed over the anvil with its inner wall on the gummed surface of the fly, and the presser 79 is moved to secure the attachment of the fly. The presser-blocks 79 are removably attached to a head 75 carrying two hollow rods 76 passing through bosses.77 projecting from the clamping-lever 66. After the fly has been attached, the clamping-lever 66 is moved upwards by means of the arm 70, link 71, and the arm 72, operated from a cam-groove in the disk 74. The box is then removed , the clamping-anvil holding the pack of flies in place.

Title: Improvements relating to the Preparation of Paper Pulp.
Inventor: FLEURY EMILE MAURICE VALENTIN
Filed: 1906-05-11
Granted: 1907-05-11
Abstract: 11,103. Fleury, Baron E. M. V. Oct. 6, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Processes ; materials, fibrous ; raw materials, treating.- Theobject is to separate pecto-cellulose or utilizable fibres in the straw of flax and other plants from the ligno-cellulose or wood. Advantage is taken of the fact that, when flax and other straw is treated with bases and oxidizing-agents, oxidation of the cement uniting the fibres and of the woody matter or ligno-cellulose takes place first, and that the oxidation can be stopped before the fibrous portion or pecto-cellulose is changed. The straw is crushed and fanned on gratings to remove dust &c., submitted to a retting treatment or to the action of steam and air to dissolve the cement, and then treated with a hypochlorite such as bleaching- powder until the ligno-cellulose is completely transformed. The oxidation is then stopped and the material immersed in a bath containing caustic soda, sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate, and sodium sulphite at a temperature of 150‹ C. The resulting product is washed and filtered through metallic gauzes. The pecto-cellulose remains on the sieve and is transformed into paper pulp by the ordinary processes. Tne woody matter passing through the sieve may be collected by decahtation and used in the manufacture of cardboard and packing-paper.

Title: A Device for Controlling Dobby Looms by Cards
Inventor: SCHWABE GEORG
Filed: 1906-07-02
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 15,038. Schwabe, G. July 2. Loom dobbies.-Crompton dobbies are controlled by means of perforated cards p on an intermittently-rotated cylinder q. The knife-lever shaft c is rocked by crank action from the loom shaft, and by means of a crank d and rods e, k rocks two levers f, m pivoted on shaftsp, n respectively. Two-armed pin-levers o are pivoted on the shaft n, and small springs ensure the contact of the pins with the cards. Lifting-levers g are pivoted to the arm f and have pivoted to them dogs h, which are adapted to engage a bracket i on the lever f and to be held in engagement therewith by springs. When the cylinder q is about to turn, the levers m, f are drawn away therefrom, and a pin l on the lever m acts upon the arms of the levers o and removes the pins from the cards. The movement of the lever f, carrying the levers g and dogs h, allows free movement of the levers o. The movement of the knives u, v takes place at the same time, and the jacks t move over the levers g without being raised thereby. When the levers m, f are returned, the pins on the levers o pass through holes in the cards or are stopped by blanks, and the other arms of the levers o strike the levers g, or the dogs h, so that the levers g are raised or the dogs h are disengaged from the bracket i and the levers g fall. The jacks t, which are pivoted at the point s<1> to the levers s, are thereby set in their upper or lower positions. The pressure of the levers g or the dogs h on the levers o is transmitted to the shaft n, so that there is no pressure on the cards.

Title: Improvements in and pertaining to Electric Controllers.
Inventor: VOLK FERDINAND
Filed: 1906-08-14
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 18,227. Volk, F. Sept. 12, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-Relates to means for preventing the too rapid actuation of electric controllers, and to a cap for preventing the wearing of the upper part-of the controller shaft. The controller carries a plate 1 formed with a series of staggered lugs 2, which form a sinuous path for the spring - pressed pawl 18 carried by the controller handle. Over the controller shaft is placed a plate 10, provided with an elongated opening 11 to permit movement relatively to the shaft 3 and plate 1, and having a pointer 12 formed on it. The plate carries the spring- pressed pawl 18 and two walls 16, 20 between which the lever 4 passes. The controller shaft is formed square at its upper end, and is furnished with a cap provided with downwardlyextending parts 24 to engage with the plate 10. A screw 25 is provided to remove the cap when required. The operating - lever 4 fits over the cap, and is provided with a revoluble handle 30 having at its lower part a lug 31, which engages with a cam opening in a second lever 23, which is slidably connected with the lower side of the lever 4 by a screw 33 and slot 34. The other end of the lever 23 carries a pin 22, which enters a socket 21 in the pawl carrier. To turn the controller in the direction of the arrow, it is necessary to rotate the handle slightly so as to move the lever 23, which then moves the plate 10 radially through the pin 22, and thus allows the pawl to pass the lugs 2. To allow the controller to be moved in the opposite direction so as to shut off power without turning the handle 30, the lugs are formed with bevelled faces 36, and the pawl tooth is bevelled off to permit its riding the lugs. A form of cap for ordinary controllers, in which the pointer is combined with the cap, is shown in the Specification.
