Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Use in Disinfecting Apartments and the like.
Inventor: TRENNER SIMEON
Filed: 1902-10-30
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 23,761. Trenner, S. Oct. 30. Disinfecting; vaporizers.-Relates to apparatus for giving off vapours for disinfecting apartments and the like. A solution of a disinfectant, as, for example, formaldehyde, is placed in a vessel or retort C, which is suspended, as shown, in a casing A, open below to allow a spirit-lamp to be inserted. The top of the retort is fitted with a cap i, to which is secured a metallic pipe j, connected by a flexible tube l to a nozzle k, capable of being inserted in a keyhole or the like. The lower part of the retort, which is of the shape shown, is furnished with a conical plate H, slotted or notched above and below, which acts to cause a circulation of the liquid being heated. The lamp has an annular wick, or has a series of round wicks arranged in a ring. The air supply enters the casing A by perforations a<4>, and passes between the reservoir B and a plate b<2> to a central tube b<1>, from which it spreads laterally to the wick, thus spreading the flame and, at the same time, keeping the central part of the bottom of the retort cool, to facilitate circulation of the liquid. The wicktube b is widened above for the reception of asbestos d<1>, which protects the cotton wick from carbonization. The asbestos is covered over by wire gauze d<2>, and wire gauze is preferably placed below the cotton wick in the tube b and round or partially round the part of the wick in the tubes b<7> which connect the tube b with the reservoir. A trough be contains asbestos or the like to absorb spirit for starting the lamp. When single round wicks are employed, they are formed as shown in Fig. 7, the cotton wick d being surrounded with wire gauze, which also covers the layer d' of asbestos or other porous and incombustible material on the top of the cotton wick. The protecting- late b of non-conducting material rests upon flanged sleeves b<3> surrounding the wick-tubes b<7>. Its underside is covered with sheet metal to conduct heat from the tubes b<7>.
Patent GB-190303705-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Single Phase Alternate Current Motors.
Filed: 1903-02-17
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 3705. Crompton & Co., and Goldschmidt, R. Feb. 17. Armatures.-Relates to single-phase alternating- current motors, the object being to obtain a good starting-t o r que. The motor r is based on the principle that a closed coil in an alternating field tends to turn until it encloses the minimum number of lines of force, i.e., it is a repulsion motor. Fig. 1 shows in diagram one arrangement. Instead of a commutator, a collector rotating with the coil and consisting of two quadrants P, P is employed, and the coil is opencircuited, or partially so, when the coil C is between the field poles F, F, the brushes B, B being adjusted to effect this. The poles F, F may be split and formed with a non-magnetic gap, or fitted with short-circuited coils. In order to be independent of momentum for obtaining continuous rotation, several coils with suitable collectors and brushes may be mounted on the armature. The machine may be constructed like a direct-current machine, or an induction motor, &c., and may have two or a greater number of field poles, and either the armature or the field may rotate.

Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 7287. Dr÷sse, H. March 28. Shavers.-The usual scythe-like action of the blade is replaced by a shearing action. A spirallygrooved roller a, Figs. 1 and 2, is mounted on an axis x, and fixed blades b are provided with lugs y and a roller t. Below the roller is a movable block q, having an adjusting-screw n, and carrying the blades b, the reinforcing-blade u, and the roller t, the whole being arranged to oscillate about the axis x between the stops 2. Figs. 4 and 6 show a modification consisting of a roller a mounted on an axis x between the plates p, connected by bars c on which a knife l and a protecting-piece mare journalled by lugs i. The plate m is pressed upon the knife l by a spring g engaging with a flap o<2>, the pressure of the knife on the roller being regulated by the screw h, which passes through the transverse support k. The shaft x is mounted in side cheeks k<1> so that the whole device may oscillate. Both modifications are operated by the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which consists of a toothed wheel o<1> fixed to the sleeve 3, carried on an axis 4 journalled in the frame. A ratchet-wheel 5, engaging with a pawl 6, is connected to the other end of the shaft, and between it and the sleeve, and fixed to both is a spiral spring 7. A cord 8, fastened to the sleeve, passes round a cam 9, the movement of which on the axis 9<1> is limited by the stop 12. On pressing down the plate 10, the roller is rotated, the return motion being effected by the spring.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Valves
Inventor: SCHMIDT AUGUST HERMANN
Filed: 1903-04-09
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 8316. Schmidt, A. H. April 9. Pump valves. - Relates to valves applicable among other things to pumps. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form in which 1 is a cylindrical hollow body having holes 2 and forming a seat for a flexible strip 3. There may be any number of these strips, and they are gripped by screws 5 between a seating and a stop 4, which is also provided with holes. In a modification, the seat is outside the flexible valve and the stop inside it. The application of these valves to a pump is shown in Fig. 10, which also shows how they may be removed for renewal or repair. Water passing through the pump deposits any impurities it may contain in the valve casings. Fig. 5 shows a modification, in which the seat 8 and stop 10 form portions only of cylinders. The flexible strips may be either separate or connected by a narrow central strip. This form of valve is applicable to a pump for producing a high vacuum, in which it is desirable to reduce the clearance as far as possible. Figs. 8<a> and 8<b> show another form suitable for air compressors, in which a large number of small strips 57 are used as valves. They are partly covered by stops 55 which hold them down in grooved seats by means of screws. Fig. 14 shows the application of a valve resembling this last modification to an air pump in which the clearance is very small.

The chain runs over an inclined bed, and over wheels 5, being supported on tracks 6 during its upward return. The retort is heated by furnaces and passages 11, 12, the volatile products escaping by an aperture 15, and the partially-coked charge falls through a shoot 8 on to a conveyer 9 leading to the moulding press 10. The briquettes are, preferably, coated with treacle or syrup.
