Patent GB-190423772-A (GB)
Title: Improved Steam Trap.
Inventor: PIERON HUGO
Filed: 1904-11-03
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 23,772. Pieron, H. Nov. 3. Steam traps.-The valve is actuated by means of a horse-shoe lever formed of two metal strips 6, 7 of different degrees of expansibility and adjustably attached to the casing by a screw 3. Admission of steam to the chamber causes the lever to open out, thus closing the valve 4. The water of condensation subsequently causes the contraction of the composite lever and opening of the valve.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Insulators for Electric Wires
Inventor: FLYNT SAMUEL BUCKNER
Filed: 1904-12-05
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 26,449. Flynt, S. B., and Maiden, L. A. Dec. 5. Insulators for telegraph, telephone, &c. wires are protected from blows by covering them with an outer case of metal or other material, which is separated from the insulator proper by rubber or 1 ke washers 6. The outer case is made in two pieces 2, 3, which may be connected in any suitable manner, but preferably by bending flexible strips 7, attached to two lugs on one piece, into engagement with corresponding projections 8 on the other piece. The conductor itself, when held by the ordinary binder, also assists in securing the sections.

Title: Improvements in Stands for Displaying Small Articles and for Advertising Purposes.
Inventor: TIMINGS SAMUEL
Filed: 1904-12-07
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 26,641. Timings, S. Dec. 7. Advertising; displaying and storing. -A collapsable stand for displaying small articles, such as tobacco, chocolate, &c., is formed by placing a box-like structure 4 on a hollow base 1. The structure 4 consists of sides 6, 7, 8, 9 hinged to a top 5, and fitting over upwardlyturned tongues 11. Fence-like pieces 17, Fig. 3, are arranged around the base of the structure 4, being secured by projections 18 engaging slots 19 in the piece 1. The ends 20 of the pieces 17 abut against the sides of the structure 4 and prevent it from collapsing outwards. Four triangular spaces 12, 13, 14, 15 are thus left on the base 1 for the display of the articles. One or more similar but smaller structures 22 may be similarly arranged upon the top of the structure 4 so as to form a stand. Fig. 8 shows an alternative method of securing the sides 6, 7, 8, 9 to the base, projections 29 on these sides registering with slots in the base. The sides may be flat or bent in any suitable way, as shown in Fig. 1, and the box-like structures may be hexagonal, triangular, &c., instead of square. The stand may be made with a straight back, so as to abut against a wall, as would be the case if the stand shown in Fig. 2 were divided vertically along either of the lines X-X, Y-Y; or it may be made to fit a corner, in which case it would be like a quarter of the stand shown in Fig. 2. Advertisements may be placed on the sloping sides 3 of the base 1, and on the vertical faces of the box-like structures.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1905-02-27
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 4056. Newton, H. E., [International Steam Pump Co.]. Feb. 27. Gas and like engines.-In a doubleacting, compound engine working on a four-stroke cycle in which the high and low pressure cylinders are arranged in tandem pairs in the manner shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the cranks are arranged 180 degrees apart. The explosion cylinders A, A<1> are supplied with air and gas from the chamber K through the passages 1, 2 respectively, the mixing-valve d and the cylinder inlet valve c being operated by the cam shaft 13. The explosion cylinders exhaust into the low-pressure cylinders through cam-operated valves e, the low-pressure cylinders exhausting through valves h. The two remaining strokes of the low-pressure pistons serve to draw in air through the valves f and compress it into the chamber K through the passage N and lift valve g. Governing is effected by cutting off the air and mixture supplies to the cylinders B, B' and A, A' by means of tubular or other valves k, i connected to the governor. In Fig. 3, shafts 30, 31, under the control of the governor, are shown operating arms 5, 6 carrying trip-levers 7, 8 which operate the valves. Reservoirs; reservoir pressure, regulating.-The vessel K has a pressure-regulating piston 16 which separates the respective air and gas chambers 17, 18 communicating with the passages 1, 2 leading to the mixing-valve d by passages 14, 15. Gas from the chamber 19 is admitted to the chamber 18 when the piston engages the rod 20 of the inlet valve 3. The air pressure in the chamber 17 is relieved when the piston opens the valve 4.

Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 22,624. Abzug, A. Nov. 4. Hinging, methods of.-Relates to doors hinged on both sides so that they can be turned on either set of hinges by first withdrawing the hinge pins of the other set, the operating handles also operating the latches. The door is pivoted about the side rods f, Figs. 1 and 5, which pass through the socket d, e attached at each side to the door and the door posts respectively. The side rods are connected by a cross-bar k provided with slots i in which the rollers h work. When the handle 4 is depressed, the cross-bar is moved to the left, a pin of the lever arm l bearing on the shoulder n of the cross-bar. By this means the left and right band side rods f are, respectively, withdrawn from, and forced into, their sockets d, e. The lever arm is then free to move over the curved parts of the shoulder n until a pin t on the lever arm p strikes the end of the bow-piece v and withdraws the latch r against the action of the spring s, as shown in Fig. 5. The cross-barf is normally kept in its central position by the bolt of a lock y which engages between the projections z. This position is indicated when a spring 2 engages a notch 3 of the bar. By a similar movement of the handle 5, the door can be opened at the right-hand side. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, the side rods are continuous. They are connected by a pivoted rod h<1>, the latch bolts r having their ends formed as toothed guides 6 gearing with the toothed wheel 8 so that they are operated simultaneously. By this arrangement, either rod can be withdrawn from its sockets, and both latches withdrawn together against the action of their springs. In another arrangement of this modification in which the handles operate the side rods and latches together, the latches are not connected.
