Title: Improvements in Camera Indicators.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1901-11-26
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 24,035. Thompson, W. P., [McCurdy, A. W.]. Nov. 26. Roller slides.- Relates to an indicator for roller slides to count the number of exposures. The indicator disc H, Fig. 4, marked with figures, is connected to the escapementwheel G. This wheel is rotated by an escapement pallet K, L, the axis of which is connected to an arm N. In the edge of the film B are perforations between each section, and, when a perforation comes opposite the arm N, the latter is forced through it by the spring M, the pallet being thus swung round into the position shown in Fig. 4. When the film B makes its next advance, the arm N is pressed back by the unperforated part of the film, and the pallet is swung back. The effect of this movement is to rotate the escapement-wheel step by step, and the number of sections of film that have passed the indicator are recorded by the figure which is shown through a perforation in a covering-plate.

Patent GB-190208678-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air and Gas Mixing and Supplying Apparatus
Inventor: BURROWS GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1902-04-14
Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 8678. Burrows, G. H. Nov. 29, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Mixing gases.-Air and gas are mixed in desired proportions, and the mixture delivered to the supply pipe. Air is. forced through a perforated pipe s into a gas holder r, and passes thence to a mixing-chamber a. Gas is also led by a tube e to the mixing-chamber. The supply of gas is regulated automatically by a valve v, operated by levers v<1>, v<2> connected to the bell r<2> of the holder. The supplies of air and gas thus increase or diminish proportionately. If the air is supplied too fast, a spring safety-valve w<1> is operated by the cross-bar of the frame u above the holder, so as to allow some of the air to escape. The mixing- chamber, Fig. 2, is provided with screwed sockets d<1>, d<2> to receive the gas and air supply tubes respectively, and with vertical slots b, c for admitting the gas and air respectively. The inlet b is considerably smaller than the inlet c, preferably only one tenth the size. The mixture passes out to the supply pipe g. The inlets b, c are automatically regulated in size, according to the amount of gas burned, by means of a tubular valve or sleeve i connected to a rod k which passes upwards into a small gas holder j, Fig. 1, in connection with the mixing-chamber. As the pressure in the latter increases the bell j<2> rises, the valve also rising and closing the inlets more or less. Instead of a bell, a flexible diaphragm may be used.

Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Separators for Cleaning Grain, Seeds, or the like.
Inventor: GREENWOOD BASIL
Filed: 1903-03-09
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 5414. Greenwood, B., and Chew, W. March 9. Separating grain &c.-The combined action of an air current and centrifugal force is employed for removing chaff, dust, and other impurities from grain, seeds, and the like. Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation of the apparatus. The grain &c. is fed into a hopper J, and conveyed by a pipe J<1> on to a rotating disc E, which projects it against the sides of the conical casing B. A current of air, drawn through the apparatus by a fan or the like, passes upwards between the disc and the casing, and carries the light wheat, chaff, &c. over into a hopper P, where the light wheat is deposited. The chaff &c. passes on with the air over the damper L, and is deposited in the collector P<1>, which is separated from the hopper P by a partition Q. The cleaned grain passes downwards through the casing B into a hopper C, and is conveyed away by a shoot D. For regulating the feed of the grain to the disc E, the lower end of the pipe J<1> is fitted with a movable sleeve, which may be adjusted near to or farther from the disc ; or a hit-and-miss damper may be fitted at the lower end of the pipe. A damper Z is fitted for regulating the exhaust. Air is also admitted between the lower end of the shaft F and the tube N to keep the shaft clear of dust and grain.

Abstract: 2944. Kupelweiser, P. Feb. 5. Windows.-Windows are constructed with an upper fixed sash b, Figs. 4 and 5, and a lower sliding sash divided into two parts c, d, the latter being carried between the outer guide-rails e of the window frame, and two bars f, which are fixed to plates g, hinged to either side of the window frame so that they can be turned to lie over the parts c, d, as in Fig. 4, or away from them, as in Fig. 5. In the closed position, the bars are secured by clamping-screws h and nuts i, the arrangement being shown in detail in Figs. 6 and 7. A screw bolt h<1>, bearing a nut i<1>, is fixed in the window frame, and the rod f is freed by turning the nut parallel to the slot j. To allow the bar to be pressed tightly against the sash, two inclined bars k, provided with stops l at their ends, are placed on the plate. The upper sliding part c is fixed by hinges o to two guide-blocks n sliding in vertical grooves m in the window frame. The lower part d is hinged to a block q, which slides in a panelled recess r, and the upper end of the part c is fixed to one of the blocks n by a catch y, so that, on releasing the catch, the two parts can be turned down, as shown in Fig. 5, the block q being sup- ported by the bolt v during the operation. The blocks n are connected with the block q by two nickel ribbons s, so that when the spring catch, which holds the two parts together, is released, the part c can be moved up and the part d down. The joints are rendered waterproof by rubber fillets x, and the outer plate z has a sloping longitudinal channel combined with a central one which carries off any water penetrating between the surfaces d, q. The sash d may be hinged instead of fixed.
