Title: Improvements in Filters and Arrangements and Apparatus or Plant connected therewith.
Filed: 1897-02-13
Granted: 1897-12-18
Abstract: 3966. Candy, F., and International Water and Sewage Purification Co. Feb. 13. Filters of large capacity; cleansing; gases, separating and discharging in.-The filter consists of a conical vessel a containing a medium which is kept in place by some heavy substance or by an adjustable plate d on its surface. The liquid enters a chamber i which surrounds the filter through a pipe h, and passes through holes c into the filter and, after filtration, collects in a chamber k above it, whence it is discharged through a pipe l. Air or gases are discharged through pipes j. Should the filter become choked, the liquid rises in a pipe r, overflows into a vessel s, and thence through a siphon t into another vessel q containing a float p. The float in rising closes a supply valve h' and opens a discharge valve m<1>, and the filtered liquid in the chamber k returns through the filtering- medium and cleanses it. The taper shape of the vessel a causes the returning liquid to proceed more quickly towards the bottom, where the deposit is densest. The liquid is delivered into the body of the filtering-medium by a pipe n having inlet branches o fitted with floating valves which only allow a downward flow. When the liquid in the chamber k falls, it carries down with it a float u, which opens the discharge tap q<1> of the chamber q, a lever in which is weighted so that it is normally closed. The float p now falls, opens the valve h<1>, and closes the dirt discharge valve m<1>, and the filtration proceeds as before. The arrangements for operating the float p may be somewhat modified.

Granted: 1898-02-26
Abstract: 30,656. Thompson, W. P., [Sears, C.]. Dec. 28. Linotype and like machines.-A machine for producing type-bars by casting upon the edge of previously-prepared slugs or blanks a thin strip of type metal bearing characters produced by a previously-prepared matrix. The type blanks J and matrices I are placed in two compartments of a hopper b, from the bottom of which they are removed by the forked end of a reciprocating plate c to a plate D, so that a shallow rib d thereon is between the blank and matrix. Spring feet g<2> in a top plate G prevent the blanks and matrices moving further than they are positively pushed. The blanks and matrices are then moved towards each other up to the rib d by pins d<3> on one side operated by a lever T and cam U, and by a bar E on the other side actuated by links e<2>, levers e, a lever Q, and a cam S'. End gates R, with knife edges at the bottom, are then moved downwards by cams on a shaft N so as to close the ends of the mould, and the top plate G is moved down by the cam n. The whole casting-box is next moved by a lever W actuated by a rotating arm p towards the hopper b, so that a fixed conical nozzle L passes into a hole r<2> in the front gate R opposite the end of the space between the blank and the matrix in the mould. Molten metal injected through the nozzle fills the mould and casts a type-bar practically free from blow-holes. The continued action of the mechanism returns all the parts to their original positions, and repeats the cycle of operations as long as the supply of blanks and matrices lasts.

Granted: 1899-04-22
Abstract: 15,179. Delmouly, E. March 29, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Acetylene lamps. -Generators in which the water supply is automat i c a l l y regulated are formed of a carbide vessel J detachably connected to an upper water vessel A. The water vessel has a central charging - tube D having openings d, and a conical closed lower end E, whereby the opening to the tube C depending from the bottom B can be closed at will. The tube C is either a capillary one, or it contains a wick. The carbide vessel is provided with a tube H, perforated with holes a at its central part and covered externally with a cotton wick or the like. It fits within a cylindrical groove or recess I fixed on the base of the vessel J. The carbide is mixed with capillary matters, such as yarn, blotting-paper, &c., and charged into its vessel, the water vessel is screwed on to the vessel J, the tube C entering the tube H, and the tube D is screwed upwards, its upper end being closed by a cork or stopper F. Water then begins to run down the tube C, and up the annular space between the two tubes, finally becoming diffused into the carbide, and generating acetylene, which passes around a shield N to an outlet M having a burner and reflector R. If gas is generated too rapidly, the pressure prevents the further supply of water. Two modifications are described, in each of which the carbide container is surrounded by water, and the water passes into the feeding-tube from below. In the first there is only one tube, which contains an internal wick, is perforated at the tube H, and is similarly surrounded by another wick. In this case, the burner is mounted on the top of the water vessel. In the second, the closed carbide vessel is placed within a cone, which is itself surrounded by the water vessel.

Title: Improvements in Moulds for Linotype Machines and in the Linotypes and Leads Cast therein.
Inventor: WHITTAKER MATTHEW HENRY
Filed: 1900-03-01
Granted: 1901-03-01
Abstract: 3955. Whittaker, M. H., and West, C. H. March 1. Linotype machines.-Relates to the casting of linotypes or "leads" 7 having tapered ribs 6 so that, when set up in column, they may be adapted to fit on the curved surface of a printing-cylinder or in a fudge box. For this purpose, the cap-plate of the mould, which is shown in inverted plan or interior view in Fig. 3, is formed with tapered grooves 5 in which the ribs are cast. On the upper surface of the cap-plate, i.e., remote from the observer in Fig. 3, are springs 9 carrying hemispherical buttons 11 which project through openings in the grooves 5 and produce small pits 13 in the cast ribs. These prevent the tapering character of the ribs from producing a tendency of the linotype to leave the mould before the ejecting-blade acts upon it. The trimming-knife' on the ribbed side of the linotype must be moved out of the working position when the tapered ribs are required. In addition to the tapered ribs, the customary non-tapering or " leading " ribs may be formed on the linotype by providing grooves on the bottom plate of the mould. Reference is made to Specification No. 14,582, A.D. 1890.
