Title: An Improved Apparatus for Spraying Disinfecting and like Fluids.
Inventor: BRUCE ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1904-03-12
Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 6096. Bruce, A. March 12. Spray-producers.-Consists in an apparatus for spraying liquid disinfectants comprising two vessels containing the liquid and compressed gas, respectively, which are placed in communication so that the liquid is forced out through a spraying- nozzle by the gas. The gas vessel may be charged in a similar manner to gasogenes. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus, the gas vessel b being secured to the liquid vessel a by straps and communicating by means of a tube e fitted with the reducing valve e'. The tube f leads from the bottom of the vessel a to the tube h leading to the spraying- nozzle. Both vessels may be placed in a box j. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a cylinder b<1> containing highly-compressed gas is removably attached to the vessel a. In order to facilitate the spraying operation, the branch pipe k leads air from the vessel a to the spraying-nozzle. In this form of the apparatus is also shown an expansion chamber q at the bottom of the vessel a, into which the gas is led. This chamber is formed by a partition r and the two parts communicate by means of the pipe s, so that the gas may act upon the surface of the liquid. Chemicals may be placed with water in the chamber q for the purpose of generating gas, and thereby dispensing with the cylinder b<1>. One form of nozzle is shown in Fig. 4. The outer case is formed as a handle n surrounding the fluid pipe s and gas pipe p, which are connected with the pipes m, h, respectively. The liquid is thus sprayed by the gas issuing from the chamber p<1>.

Title: Improvements in Commutators for Dynamo-electric Machines.
Inventor: YOUNG FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: H01R39/04
Filed: 1904-04-14
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 8608. Young, F. W. May 22, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Drawings to Specification. Commutators for dynamo-electric machines are built up of composite bars of copper or other usual metal and carbon, mica, &c. insulating-strips separating the various composite bars from each other and from the usual supporting-ring. The copper strips are in advance of the corresponding carbon strips in the direction of rotation of the commutator, so that a high resistance is included in the short-circuit through a brush and an armature coil connected to two adjacent bars before the circuit is opened on the commutator. The thickness of the carbon is sufficient to allow the self-induced current in the short-circuit to die out before the circuit is actually opened, sparking at the brushes being thus reduced. A carbon strip is placed at each side of each copper strip when the machine is intended for rotation in either direction. The brushes are preferably of carbon.

Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Preventing Overspeed and Overwinding in Hoisting Apparatus.
Inventor: WHITMORE FRANK LEONARD
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 29,424. Whitmore, F. L. Dec. 31. Stop gear.-Relates to automatic stop gear for hoisting or winding engines, and consists of means for stopping the engine gradually in the event of excessive speed being attained and suddenly in the event of an overwind. Rotating in unison with each drum is a screw shaft C upon which are mounted nuts E, D, prevented from rotation by means of guides. At the upper end is a spindle S having keyed on it arms h, H, the arm h normally holding an angle-lever J in the position shown against the pull of a spring L acting through a lever K and a rod J'. The governor A, driven from the engine, is connected through an angle-lever o<2> &c. with a claw arm 0 pivoted to one end of a lever N, the other end of which is connected through a lever n<2> &c. to the throttle valve and brake. Should the speed become excessive, the arm 0 is pushed into the path of the rising nut E and engaged by a projection Q thereon and slowly raised so that the engine is gradually stopped. If the engine is not stopped at the limit of its run, the nut D engages a fast collar G at the top of the shaft C and turning with it engages the arm H, thus releasing the lever J and allowing the lever K and spring L to depress the lever N and rapidly stop the engine. To prevent accidental release of the lever J, the arm h is normally held in locking position by a bridle lever R engaging a slot in a segment H<1> keyed to the shaft S. The nut D raises the bridle R before reaching the collar G by engagement with an extension r<3>, and, should the nut D continue to turn after passing the arm H, it engages the back of the extension r<3> and raises the bridle R still higher. The guiding-projections on the nut E are such that on the descent of the nut its projection Q is out of the path of the arm 0.

Abstract: 19,215. Wixford, J. F. Sept. 23, 1904 [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Extracts, decoctions, and infusions.-The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises apparatus for continuously preparing and using, liquid preparations (solutions or mixtures) of reagents used in chemical processes such as water purification. Fig. 4 shows apparatus suitable for the preparation of, say, ferroussulphate solution. A charge of the salt is introduced into the vessel 1 ; a constant stream of water is passed in by the pipe 5 and a continuous stream of solution leaves by the spout 2 and is conveyed to the conduit 4 containing the liquid to be treated with the solution. After a given interval of time, a second charge equal to the first is added to the sulphate remaining undissolved ; this process is repeated until the residual sulphate e is so large in comparison with the added charge f that an amount approximately equal to the added charge will be dissolved in such interval, and the strength of the solution passing out will be practically constant. Fig. 6 shows an apparatus suitable for the production of a suspension of an insoluble or slightly soluble reagent such as lime. Equal charges of lime are thrown at equal intervals of time into the tank 6, hot water being introduced by the pipe 23 and the milk of lime flowing out by the pipe 24. A mixer is provided consisting of a number of curved flexible blades 22 carried bv a bar 18 which is secured by plates to a shaft 10 ; the blades at one end of the bar are staggered with respect to those at the other. The shaft 10 is journaled in bearings 8, 9, the latter of these being carried by a frame 7 which runs across the tank. An horizontal shaft 13 is journaled in bearings on the frame 7 and carries a bevel-wheel 12 gearing with the bevel-wheel 11 carried by the shaft 10. An approximately constant strength of the milk of lime is secured in the manner described before. In either case, the strength of the solution or suspension obtained may be varied by varying the conditions. Solutions or suspensions of any other solid reagents, e.g. alum or iron and aluminium hydrates, can be obtained by the above means. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 1893, A.D. 1876, No. 60, A.D. 1877, No. 3593, A.D. 1884, No. 6459, A.D. 1885, No. 8883, A.D. 1889, No. 22,546.
