Title: Improvements in or connected with Gramophones.
Inventor: SANDERS JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-10-14
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 20,875. Sanders, J. Dec. 13, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gramophones.-A number of gramophone records are run synchronously in order to greatly magnify the intensity of the reproduction. The frame formed of the three uprights 2, 2, 3 supports the shaft 7, which is set in the bearings 6, 6<1> and is easily removable. This shaft carries a number of turntables 8, Fig. 3, which are locked in their correct position by the screw 10 and a longitudinal groove in the shaft. Each turntable possesses a pin 13 adjustable to suit various sizes of records. A modified form of turntable consisting of three arms is shown in Fig. 4. The records employed must be identical, that is each must be obtained from the same matrix, which at the same time impresses upon them an initial notch 12 in which the pin 13 is placed. Secured to the upright 3 are a number of arms 17 with a collar 18 and socket 19 arranged for supporting the trumpet and soundbox in the usual manner. For economy in space, these arms are arranged alternately on opposite sides of the upright 3, and the pins 13 are therefore arranged on corresponding opposite sides. The whole shaft may be rotated by a pulley 16, and during the reproduction another shaft may be filled with a new set of records to continue the performance without an interval. To assist in placing the reproducers on the first groove, a wide and smooth leading-in groove 11<2> is provided.

Title: Improvements in Motor Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: RALPH OTHO HOOD
Filed: 1905-10-31
Abstract: 22,211. Hood, R. A. Nov. 11, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Turning-gear.-A motor-vehicle, driven by a gas engine, is provided with an auxiliary electromotor, the armature shaft of which is geared down to the driven axle. The electromotor is used to start the gas engine, and drives through a magnetic clutch, which may be automatically released when the speed reaches a certain limit. The exhaust valves of the petrol engine are electro - magnetically operated, the circuits of the magnets being open when the vehicle is to be started. The sparking- circuit is closed and the sparking advanced by the movement of a foot-lever, which also controls the operation of the exhaust valves. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the driving-gear. The four-cylinder engine f drives a longitudinal cardan shaft, connected directly to the differential gear o. The auxiliary electromotorp is connected to the longitudinal shaft by gearwheels 12, 13, the latter forming the armature of an electro-magnet, the winding 15, Fig. 3, of which is connected by brushes 23, 24 with the cells of a storage battery. The wheel 13 is arranged to slide on its shaft and is normally kept out of contact with the attracting disk by springs. As shown in Fig. 3, the clutch circuit is controlled by a hand reversing-switch 28, the wires to the battery being so arranged that, when the current is reversed to release the clutch, the voltage is lowered. An automatic cut-out 120 is also arranged to open the circuit when the speed reaches a certain limit by centrifugal means.

Title: Improvements in Refuse Destructors
Inventor: GOFFIN JOSEPH
Filed: 1906-01-31
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 2468. Goffin, J. Jan. 31. Refuse -consuming furnaces.-Refuse is supplied to an incinerating-cham ber 2 by a hopper 3, which is closed by a cover 6 having an hydraulic seal, and is provided at its lower end with a watercooled slide 4. The furnace gases escape through apertures 7 into superposed horizontal flues 8, 9, 10 and a central passage 11, and the furnaces in the same row may be connected or isolated by dampers 18. Vapours from the upper part of each hopper pass through flues 12 to the flues 8. Access to the flues 8, 9, 10 may be obtained through inspection holes 25, 26, 27, and the passage of the gases through the flues may be regulated by a damper 28. Dust carriedby the gases to the flue 11 falls through a passage 14 having a slide 15 into a channel 13, through which water circulates and which contains a screw conveyer 16 or equivalent device for removing the ashes. Vapours from this channel are drawn off by a fan and delivered to conduits 17 provided with branches 19, 20, which communicate, respectively, with perforated ducts 21 at the lower part of the furnace and with a box 22 having a perforated fuel-supporting surface. At the end of this box, a hollow slide 23 is arranged to allow ashes to fall into the channel 13.

Title: Improvements in Extraction with Volatile Solvents.
Inventor: BREWIS EDWARD THEODORE
Filed: 1906-04-11
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 8744. Brewis, E. T., and Allen, G. S. April 11. Extracts.-In the extraction of seeds, drugs, bones, &c. by volatile solvents, the material is percolated in a rotatable vessel, and the exhausted matter is obtained in a dry state by distilling off the volatile solvent by means of a heating - disk &c. in the same vessel, the heating- means serving also to aid extraction. The apparatus comprises a drum &c. A rotatable about a shaft B and provided with a perforated diaphragm 2. The shaft B is made in two sections and supports a disk &c. 3, one section carrying pipes 4, 5 for supplying heating or cooling medium to the disk 3, and the other section having a screened opening 6. In operation, the drum A is rotated during extraction, the extract is then drawn off through the diaphragm 2 and cock 7, and the solvent is distilled off through the opening 6 during the rotation of the drum by steam &c. admitted to the disk 3. Percolation may be facilitated by the admission of inert gases.

The sockets 1, which are provided with webs 14, are integral with plates 16 having extensions 2, which may be deep, as shown, or project a small distance only beyond the inner edges of the felloes. The plates 16 are provided with webs similar to the webs 14, which engage the felloes, and, in some cases, with a large central web which extends into the felloes and provides means for attaching the sockets thereto. The intermediate spokes take into sockets 23 on the hub and are attached to the felloes by the sockets shown in Fig. 13, which have webs 14 and extensions 2 strengthened by brackets 18 and webs 17. In another form of socket for intermediate spokes, shown in Fig. 16, the socket is secured to the felloes by transverse bolts through a central web 15, which may have curved stays 17, and by radial bolts through tubular ends formed on the web 15. In a modification, the web 15 is separate from the socket and is made from sheet metal, looped to form the tubular ends, and is secured to the socket by a locking-device. In other forms, the sockets for intermediate spokes have bosses projecting into the felloes and are secured to the felloes by radial bolts passing through the bosses or by tubular dowels which are expanded in conical radial holes in the felloes.
