Patent GB-190308335-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture of Improved Paint Vehicles.
Inventor: STRANGE EDWARD HALFORD
Filed: 1903-04-11
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 8335. Strange, E. H., and Graham, E. April 11. Paint vehicles.-Vehicles which, when mixed with pigments such as white lead, do not cause thickening or hardening of the paints produced, are manufactured from crude resin oil by adding lime, manganese resinate or other manganese drier, litharge, and a volatile solvent such as petroleum spirit. The resin oil is maintained at a temperature of 160‹-180‹ C., while the lime, manganese resinate, and litharge are gradually stirred in and dissolved in the order named. When the solution has cooled to 50‹ C., sufficient petroleum spirit is added to give it the required viscosity. Sufficient lime is used nearly to neutralize the acidity of the oil, and sufficient litharge to complete the neutralisation. Preferably, the lime and litharge are ground into pastes with neutral refined resin oil before being added. Manganese dioxide or hydrate may be used instead of the resinate, the oil being heated to 200‹-220‹ C. Vehicles which, when exposed to the atmosphere in thin layers, give films of varying degrees of hardness, are manufactured from oil of varying degrees of acidity.

Title: Improvements in Sprinkling Heads or Nozzles.
Inventor: HELLMERS HERMANN JACOB
Filed: 1903-04-17
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 8775. Hellmers, H. J. April 17. Watering-carts.- Relates to the sprinkling heads or nozzles of watering- carts. A throttle valve is fitted to the head, from which the water is ejected in a direction at right-angles to that of the cart. The number of holes above and below the valve are regulated according to the pressure of the water and width of road to be watered. Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the device, and Fig. 2 shows a section on the line A-B. The head or nozzle d is fed through the supply pipe a, and has the throttle valvefso arranged that the water leaves with considerable force from above the valve, and with much less force from under the valve. To promote efficient watering of the road, the number of holes is increased in the vertical direction, either by such a design as shown in Fig. 1, where the head is prolonged in a horizontal direction and contains in these prolongations only horizontally-disposed holes, or by having a nozzle of the shape shown in Fig. 5.

Inventor: VERSCHAVE EDOUARD CHARLES FRAN
Filed: 1904-01-16
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 1202. Verschave, E. C. F. Jan. 16. Making tubes; bending ; welding. -In a method of manufacturing tubes or tubular fittings and frames for cycles, motor vehicles, and for other r purposes, metal blanks are stamped and pressed or drawn into the form of semicircular, quadrantal, or other circular or corresponding elliptic segments, and welded by means of a blowpipe, by electricity, or otherwise, to diametral, cross, or other-shaped cores, any projecting portions being subsequently removed by grinding, turning, drawing, or filing. The method is described in detail in connection with the steering-fork and main framing of a bicycle. When such tubes are used for circulating water, steam, or other fluids, the cores are perforated. The application to cycle handle-bars is mentioned in the Provisional Specification, which also states that a tube with a diametral core may be made by bending and welding a single blank.

Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,713. Paradis, J. B. July 14, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Funnels.-Relates to a funnel in which means are provided for adjusting the funnel for filling bottles having necks of different lengths, and also for venting the spout of the funnel after the liquid supply has been shut off, thus preventing waste in transferring the funnel from one vessel to another. The bowl 1 of the funnel is provided atitslowerendwith a fixed sleeve 2, the flared mouth 3 of which forms a seating for the valve 4. Fixed to the sleeve 2 is a tube 6 forming the spout of the funnel ; the tube 6 is formed with a longitudinal groove 7, and is surrounded by a tube 10 in which a series of perforations 11 are formed, the perforations being arranged spirally around the tube 10 and adapted to register with the groove 7. As the flow of liquid ceases when the opening 11 in communication with the groove 7 is submerged, the funnel may be used for filling bottles having necks of different lengths. A vent tube 8<a> is provided to allow air to escape from the vessel being filled. Any liquid passing into the tube is carried up and returned through an opening 9 to the bowl 1. The funnel is surrounded by an elastic stopper 17, adapted to conform to bottles having badly-shaped mouths ; the stopper is mounted on a sliding sleeve 18, and is connected by a screw 24 to a rod 12, which is connected to the valve 4 by a vent tube 13. When the funnel is placed in a bottle, a washer 25 on the tube 10 comes into contact with a flange 22 on the stopper, and, by this movement, the valve 4 is opened through the rod 12. When the funnel is removed, the valve closes by gravity, and the tube 13 admits air to the stem 6 and allows the liquid retained in the stem to run into the bottle. The funnel contains a strainer 26, and is provided with a handle 27.
