Patent GB-190810885-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Filaments for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Filed: 1908-05-19
Abstract: 10,885. Wolfram - Lampen Akt - Ges. Nov. 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Incandescent lamps.-Filaments are coated with tungsten by heating them electrically to 1000- 1200‹ C. in the vapour of tungsten halogen compounds without admixture of a reducing-gas. The base filaments, which may be of carbon or tantalum, or of tungsten made for instance by a paste process and requiring to be equalized, are placed singly, or connected in parallel or series, in a vessel in which the compound, such as tungsten hexachloride, is vaporized. The process is best effected under reduced pressure.
Patent GB-190814154-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating, Checking, and Registering the Quantities and Values of Liquids Measured and Distributed from Supply Vessels.
Inventor: KING ALAN WATERSTONE
Filed: 1908-07-03
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 14,154. King, A. W. July 3. Sales, systematic arrangements for effecting and controlling.-Relates to means for checking and recording the sale of liquid in measured quantities actuated by the size of the measures employed. The measure is inserted under the delivery spout C and pushes back one or more of the slides A ... A<3>, which have cam slots to open out a pair of levers F pivoted at F<1>, which set by means of levers G, H, I, L the segment 4 with type corresponding to the measure used. At the same time, the slides push back a spring-controlled lever V guided in a fixed slotted plate M and linked to a rocking frame Q, R, the upper transverse bar Q of which engages a slot S in the type carriage which is pivoted at 20, and so depresses the type against the record sheet 2, a lever 6 engaging the rod Q at the same time so as to withdraw the ink-pad 5 from the type. The type carriage is movable transversely by means of the spring-controlled notched rod 9 and bell-crank arms 11 linked to the sliding plate X. This plate is slotted to take the type carriage in its various positions across the wide record sheet, and a narrow strip is provided to the left-hand side of the sheet for the customers names in usual order of service. A pawl 14 feeds the record sheet at each depression of the type-carriage except when held off by the pin 12 on the vertical shaft operated by the spring rod 9. The lever V engages the fork ends of bent levers W so as to bring rods W<1> in the end of the same into contact with the measures employed. The record sheet is divided into main columns, one for each round of service, and a notch 22 of the plate X corresponds to each of these columns and is engaged by a sliding catch on the handle 24 on the type carriage. The subdivisions of the main columns are for "ordinary," "extra unpaid" and extra paid" supply, the throw-out for the feed pawl 14 by the adjusting- bar 9 allowing entry to be made of extra supply to any customer without moving, the record sheet. A counter for totalizing the quantity delivered may be operated from one of the levers F. A casing 17 is fitted, being hinged at 18 and secured at 19.

Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 16,253. Coggan, F. July 31. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Envelopes.-An envelope blank is shaped as shown in Fig. 1. The side flaps c meet at their tips e and have extensions a, which are folded inside the envelope, leaving a space b through which the contents may be grasped to admit of postal examination. The side flaps are cut out at f, and portions are removed so as to leave an even surface d, when folded, for typewriting the address. The top flap is shaped as shown, marks being preferably impressed at j to facilitate the folding of the projections, so that the flap may enter the slit h in the bottom piece after this piece has been stuck down at the gummed parts g, g'. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the bottom piece a is first brought over and the side flaps b are then stuck down, so as to leave a central passage through which the top flap can pass when folded.

Title: Improvements in Adjustable Gate-hangings.
Inventor: QUINCEY JAMES EDWARD
Filed: 1908-08-14
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 17,153. Quincey, J. E. Aug. 14. Hinges.-A gate-hanging is constructed so that the gate can readily be restored to the horizontal position without altering the position of the gatepost. The head b of the gate-hook a is slotted at c and is provided with teeth or serrations d, e on its upper and lower faces. The hinge pin f, on which the gate-band is mounted as usual, is formed with a square portion g and a shoulder h, the underside of which is serrated. The hinge pin passes through the slot c and is provided with a serrated washer l, which is forced against the under face of the gatehook by the nut k. The gate is initially slung with the pins f locked at the opposite extreme ends of the slots c. When sagging takes place, the nuts k are loosened and the pins shifted until the gate is horizontal.

Title: An Improved Anaesthetiser.
Inventor: OCEJO JOSE OCEJO Y
Filed: 1908-10-31
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 23,244. Ocejo y Ocejo, J. Oct. 31. Anaesthetics, administering. - An anaesthetiser comprises a chamber r with a cover consisting of two plates p, p<1>, of which the upper one p<1> can be displaced on the lower one p for the purpose of varying the proportions of pure and anaesthetised air admitted to the inbaling-chamber l. The plate p has two apertures with which register apertures v<1>, v<2> on the plate p<1> when the two plates are superposed. A chamber m on the plate p<1> covers the aperture v<2> and a third aperture v, so that when the plates are superposed all the air inhaled passes into the anaesthetic chamber r through the slot v<1>, enters the chamber m through the slot v<2>, and passes through a valve in the chamber l and thence to the patient. The exhaled air closes the valve in the chamber l, passes along the duct m<1>, and out of the inhaler through a valve in a chamber l<1>. When the plate p<1> is displaced the slot v is correspondingly opened to pure air and the coincidence of the two sets of slots in the plates is proportionally diminished, so that any desired proportions of pure and anaesthetised air can be admitted to the chamber m.

Abstract: 18,711. Dunn, T. Aug. 13. Tyre attachments to rims.-A detachable tyrecarrying rim, which is secured on the felloes or at the side of the wheel, is divided circumferentially near the inner edge, and an annular pocket is formed on the inner part to receive the outer part, by securing thereto metal bands c, d on the outer and inner sides respectively. The parts are locked together by pins g projecting from a security band f, which is of hard rubber or granulated cork covered with waterproof fabric, into holes e drilled through the outer part of the rim and the metal bands c, d. The band f is preferably made in two parts, the valve stem passing through the centre of one part and a countersunk screw through the rim into a central socket in the other part, and the pins g are arranged to slope away from the radial direction at the ends of the parts of the band. The joint between the two parts of the rim, when adapted to be secured at the side of the wheel, is made tight by a thin channel ring h and a rubber cord or tube j. When the invention is applied to a rim already provided with clamps k for securing it at the side of a wheel, the inner ring d and the channel ring h are made in sections lying between the clamps. When the rim is to be secured on the felloes of the wheel, the channel ring h, of metal, hard rubber, vulcanized fibre &c., is coned to fit a coned ring on the felloes. The channel ring h may be secured to the rim by small screws or by cement.
