Filed: 1909-02-24
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 4604. Vallat, R. Feb. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Column stills and rectifiers ; evaporators and condensers in structural combination. - Rectifying and distilling columns are provided with condensing- hoods F provided with a dish G at the top. The liquid from an upper plate flows into the dish by way of an overflow E and then flows over the surface of the hood, thus condensing a portion of the vapours in contact with the lower surface of the hood. The condensing action may be improved by cooling a regulated portion of the liquid in a coil O before it is discharged into the dish. The condensed liquid may be collected in gutters H, and is removed by pipes I provided with regulating valves J. Bubbling rings may be formed on both the outer and inner sides of the gutters H. The overflows E may be placed in other positions than that shown, the liquid being led therefrom to the dish by means of gutters. The hoods may be channelled and may be covered with substances which ensure the spreading of the liquid over the surface of the hood. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the provision of condensing-hoods of smaller dimensions and their use in place of the bubbling hoods B, and also the addition of a collecting- gutter to the cooled heads of the ordinary brandy stills ; this subject-matter does not occur in the Specification as accepted.

Patent GB-190912698-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Actuating Signals on Engines on Railways and the like.
Inventor: YOUNG JOHN ANDREW
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1909-05-29
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 12,698. Young, J. A., and Ainsley, R. May 29. [Cognate Application, 17,869/09.] Track apparatus actuating signals on trains; miniature signals and indicators. - A pivoted vertically-moving track contact actuated from the signal wire raises a verticallymoving rod on a passing train through a contact lever, and operates engine signals pneumatically. A whistle on the engine sounds at every track contact, and in addition, a miniature semaphore moves to 'safety' when the track semaphore indicates 'safety' ; a separate visual indicator continually shows the working order of the apparatus. The track contact comprises a curved bar 2 mounted on a pivot 3 and raised by a portion 8 of a sliding bar 6 when this is moved by the signal wire 7 to the 'safety' position. The engine contact comprises a lever 13 mounted on a pivot 14, and actuated by contact of a roller 15 with the track contact to raise a vertically moving rod 18 and actuate a double piston valve 21 in a cylinder 20. Compressed air or steam is, in the normal position of the apparatus shown in the drawing, in communication through the ports 27 and pipe 28 with a cylinder 29, the piston of which actuates an indicator disk 38. If the apparatus is not in working order, for instance, if the rod 18 is bent or broken, the piston 21 falls, and cuts off the supply to the pipe 28, and the indicator 38 falls. When the train passes over a track contact in the lower or 'danger' position, the piston 21 is raised slightly, and fluid passes from the port 27 to an uncovered pipe 30 to blow a whistle 31, and a locking-bolt 48 slips into a notch 24 to retain the piston 21 in its raised position. If the track contact is raised to the 'safety' position, the piston 21 is raised sufficiently to allow fluid to pass from the port 27 through a pipe 32 to a cylinder 33, the piston of which moves a miniature semaphore 46 to 'safety' and the locking-bolt 48 slips into the notch 25. The bolt 48 may be withdrawn to allow the piston valve 21 to fall to its normal position by opening a valve 55 when pressure fluid passes through a pipe 54 and actuates a piston 50.

Title: Improvements in Locks.
Inventor: FEOLA RAFFAELE
IPC: E05B67/36
Filed: 1909-10-11
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 23,214. Feola, R. March 5, [Convention date]. Padlocks; locks, revolving- barrel; bolts. - In a padlock which completely covers the staples and fits close against the door &c., a bolt is provided which carries the locking-mechanism and when in the locking position, lies wholly within the casing, the end being flush with the outside of the casing. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the bolt 17 is of telescopic form, the inner sleeve 20 being under the control of a spring 26 within the outer casing, and being provided with a locking-lever 22 which, when the bolt is pressed home, engages a shoulder 16 on the lock casing and retains the bolt in the locking position. The lever 22 can be released by a key B, after which the inner sleeve is pressed out by the spring 26, and the bolt can then be withdrawn, a screw limiting its motion in the lock casing. In the form of bolt shown in Figs. 9 and 11, the spring locking-catch 60 co-operates with a bayonet slot in the padlock casing and, when in locking position, has to be turned to release the inner sleeve 43. The stem 47 which carries the catch 60 is prevented from turning within the sleeve 43 by a series of tumblers 53, 54, 55 with projections engaging slots 67, 68, 69 in the sleeve after the manner of a Bramah lock. The key 70 presses the tumblers until the projections thereon come within transverse slots 67<a>, 68<a>, 69<a> in the sleeve and thus allow the rotation of the stem 47 and catch 60, the barrel then springing out under the action of the spring 42. Relative motion between the bolt and the casing, and between the inner sleeve 43 and the bolt, is prevented.
