Title: Improvements in Discharge or Outlet Valves.
IPC: C13B25/02
Filed: 1910-10-14
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 23,869. Fletcher & Co., G., Finney, R. J. G. F., and Marsh, R. H. H. Oct. 14. Sluice valves.-A discharge or outlet valve for sugar-boiling pans &c. comprises a valve proper c mounted on rollers in inclined guides k formed on a carriage e rolling upon rollers g in guides h adjacent to the discharge outlet a. A spring l normally tends to pull the valve c down the inclined guides. In closing, when the valve c has been brought into position by manipulation of the rod n, a tie-rod m arrests the motion of the valve, and continued movement of the carriage c lifts the valve against its seat by the movement of the rollers j up the inclined guides k. In the opening movement, the carriage first releases and allows the valve to drop away from its seat. The guide-grooves k may be formed on the valve c, and the rollers j fitted to the carriage.

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 25,801. Baldwin, A. Nov. 7. Combined switching and distribution systems. -The current through a thermal switch and a relay is reduced by placing them in shunt with a resistance, the parallel circuits being in series with one or more incandescent lamps across the supply mains. The relay controls the circuit of a solenoid, which controls a valve in the manner described in Specification 4678/08, [Class 135, Valves &c.]. The thermal mercury switch T and relay 10 are placed in shunt with a resistance 5, and in series with one or more lamps 4 across the supply leads 1, 8. When the mercury in the switch T rises to complete the circuit of the relay 10, the armature 14 of the relay places the solenoid 16 across the supply leads 1, 8.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Colour Screen Plates and Films for Colour Photography.
Inventor: PALMER HENRY WILLIAM HAMBLIN
IPC: G03C7/08
Filed: 1911-03-13
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 6279. Palmer, H. W. H. March 13. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Colour photography, screens and screen plates for.-In a modification of the method described in Specification 16,273/10 for producing very fine particles for colour screens, an aerograph or similar spraying-appliance is used for producing the fine particles which are caught in an elongated chamber fitted with a sloping enamelled floor, down which the solidified particles roll into a receiver. The size of the particles is regulated by the size of the nozzle or needle perforations and the air pressure used. The process is applicable for roll films and kinematograph films. A number of spraying-devices may be used, each of which sprays a liquid of different colour in the desired proportion to form the required mixture of coloured particles. Solutions of gelatine, gums, celluloid, or molten coloured glass having a low fusing-point may be employed for forming the particles. Specification 22,228/07 is referred to in the latter connexion. The coloured particles mixed in their proper proportions may be suspended in the emulsion which is floated upon the plates or films; or coloured cellulose or colloid particles may be separately or collectively sprayed upon a celluloid film while it is in a plastic state, so as to become embodied in the material of the films during the finishing stage of the process of manufacturing the film.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 12,450. Soc. Anon. Le DÚtective. May 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Alarms operated by expansion of liquids and gases.-Relates to alarms of the kind in which the expansion of air and the vaporization of a volatile liquid or solid contained in a sealed expansible vessel are utilized in combination to actuate a lever and bring about the closing of an electric circuit. A metallic vessel 1 is provided with a flexible diaphragm 2 having a stud 3 which bears against an adjustable screw 16 carried by a lever 15, the free end of which is formed with a notch, normally engaged by a roller 12 at the free lower end of a U-shaped lever 10. When the diaphragm 2 lifts the notch of the lever 15 out of engagement with the roller 12, a spring 13 draws the lever 10 inwards, and the roller 12 runs along an incline 17<1> on the lower face of the lever 15, which is thus raised so as to bring a contact blade 18 on its upper surface between two contact blades 8, a frictional contact being thus made. The device is reset by pulling a knob 14, which also serves to indicate when the alarm has operated. If the device fails to act, a fusible wire connecting two of the terminals is subsequently melted by the heat of the fire to break a closed circuit and give an alarm.

Abstract: 8084. Mugg, J. Oct. 3. Stream-cutting machines; extrusion machines. -In a screw extrusion machine for cattle food &c., the material is forced through apertures 5 in a die-plate 6 and is severed into short lengths by a cutter 15 rotated about its spindle 14 by a pinion 16 engaging a pinion 17 held against rotation by a bar 18, and also about the axis of the screw by a bracket 13 carrying the spindle 14, which bracket is keyed to an extension 12 of the screw 3. In a modification, the pinion 16 engages a fixed internally-toothed pinion. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the spindle of the cutter 23 is mounted in a bracket 22 extending from a sleeve 29 loosely mounted upon a stub shaft 21 screwed into the die-plate and driven through a sprocket-wheel 28; the pinion 25 on the cutter spindle gears with a pinion 26 loosely mounted upon the sleeve 21 and separately driven through a sprocket-wheel 27. The casing 1, Fig. 1, is fitted with a sleeve or liner 2, and in order that the worm 3 may be readily removed for cleaning &c., it is driven through a key and recess connexion 11 from a plate 10 mounted upon a spindle 9 passing through the end 7 of the casing. The plate 10 is backed by a ball thrust bearing 8. To equalize the feed through the die-plate, a. plate is secured to the end of the worm, which is steeply bevelled in the direction of motion and relatively more gradually bevelled in the opposite direction along the worm thread, the plate being also bevelled from the outer edge to the inside and extending to the centre of the worm, or only along a certain part; this plate directs the material, which tends to accumulate at the outside edges of the die-plate towards the central perforations.

Inverting-bottle apparatus. -Relates to apparatus for delivering measured quantities of liquid from bottles &c. wherein the measuring- chamber 1 slides on the outlet tube 22 and has inlet and outlet valves 26, 27 opened and closed by the sliding movements. The chamber is rotatable and is fitted with an air-valve 32 which is closed by the impact of liquid passing from the chamber through the aperture 50. When the bottle is erect, a pivoted catch 29 on the sleeve 21 secured to the chamber 1 engages a collar 20<a> fixed to the bottle stopper so as to allow the chamber to fill when the bottle is inclined. On inversion of the bottle. a pivoted weighted arm 30 falls, and by striking the tail of the catch, releases it from the collar so that the chamber can descend and discharge. The weighted arm ensures the maintenance of the air-valve on the upper side of the chamber independent of the direction in which the bottle is tilted. In the modified form of air-valve shown in Fig. 4, the spring 33 is dispensed with, and the valve may be forced from its seat by a pivoted arm 33<a> which swings across the bevelled edge 48 of the casing and depresses the valve stem.
