Patent GB-190723011-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Dipping Pottery or other Articles in Liquid Preparations.
Inventor: WIBBERLEY FRED
Filed: 1907-10-18
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 23,011. Wibberley, F. Oct. 18. Pottery; enamelling.-Relates to apparatus for dipping pottery, metal, or other vessels into glaze, paint, or enamel. A tank A containing the glaze or other liquid preparation supports vertical frames C on which slide counterbalanced holders B, each consisting of a tubular framing B', a hollow base B<2>, and one or more interchangeable, open-ended, vertical pipes B<3> fitted with rests B' which carry the vessels to be dipped. The holders B are lowered and raised in turn into and out of the liquid, sufficient holders being provided to allow the vessels on the first holder to dry by the time the last holder has been dipped. When the insides of the vessels are to be coated, the vessels are mounted on the pipes B<3> in the inverted position, as shown at K, and as the vessels are immersed the contained air passes through the pipes B<3> and escapes by an outlet J at the top of the framing B<1>. The outlet J may be fitted with a cock by means of which the liquid can be prevented from rising beyond a certain point within the vessel. Any liquid that enters the base B<2> during the dipping operation may be afterwards returned to the tank by opening a drain cock N. When only the outsides of the vessels are to be coated, the vessels are supported on the rests B<4> in the upright position, and are immersed up to the rim. Sealing- pads M may be inserted between the rests and the bottoms of the vessels. The rests B' are preferably mounted on the pipes B<3> on ball bearings, so that the vessels may be spun round after being dipped, to remove superfluous liquid.

Abstract: 14,343. Del Mar, H. July 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Steam-generator furnaces; baffles; smoke-consuming.-In a water-tube boiler having npper and lower headers connected by cross water-tubes 11, the tubes are divided into groups by vertical baffleplates, which compel the products of combustion to take a vertically zigzag course among the tubes. In the boiler shown in Fig. 1, the tubes are divided by baffle-plates 19, 19<a>, which form the side walls of a combustion chamber 19<b>. The gases from the furnace pass upwards among the first group of tubes, over the top of the baffle 19, and then downwards through the combustion chamber to the inlet 20<a> to the second group of tubes, among which the gases pass upwards to the outlet 21. In a modification, the combustion chamber is dispensed with, and the outlet 21 is placed at the bottom of the second group of tubes. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the gases are first sent to tLe front of the boiler by a horizontal baffle 22, and then pass upwards over a baffle 23 and downwards through the front group of tubes to the uptake 26.

Title: Improvements in Speed Changing Mechanism for use with a Driving Shaft and a Driven Shaft.
Inventor: ANGOSTO JOSE LUIS DE BRIONES Y
Filed: 1908-07-25
Granted: 1909-09-27
Abstract: 15,852. Briones y Angosto, J. L. de. July 31, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to variable-speed and reversing gearing of the class in which a group of planet-pinions carried by the driving- shaft mesh with a sun-wheel on the driven shaft and with h a series of sun-pinions connected to brake drums, any one of which may be held by a single movable band brake. The planet-pinions F, B3, B<2>, &c. are formed in one with a rotary planet shaft A journaled in a relatively light frame C secured to the driving-shaft D. The pinion F meshes with a wheel G fast on the driven shaft H, and the pinions B<3>, B', &c. mesh with loose pinions P, I<3>, &c. connected by sleeves running on ball bearings to a series of brake drums J<4>, J<3>, &c. A casing P surrounds the toothed gearing and brake drums. The brake is formed of two semicircular bands K, the movable ends of which are fastened to eccentric pins O, Fig. 2, upon a pair of bars L, Fig. 3, which pass out through the casing P. The bars L are moved longitudinally to shift the brake from one drum to another by a yoke consisting of two levers R hinged at T to a shaft S. The shaft S is pivoted at S' upon the casing P, so that turning the shaft S shifts the brake K. A longitudinal movement of the shaft S then turns the rods L sufficiently to apply the brake K. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a number of alternative combinations of driving and driven elements linked by a group of planet-pinions and a series of brake drums. Brake drums with internal gripping - surfaces appear. Internally-toothed rings and bevel-wheels are used, not only as fulcrum elements, but also as transmission elements. Gearing of "helicoidal" and " hyperbolic" types may also be used, and the application to automobiles is mentioned. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1910-06-13
Abstract: 13,842. Ridings, W. R. June 12. Arc lamps.-In an inclined electrode magazine lamp each pair of electrodes in turn is engaged and fed by a device attached to a carrier which is driven by a single endless chain. The mechanism is shown in elevation in Fig. 1, and Fig. 7 shows a plan view of the carrier and other parts. Each magazine 6 is a flat box open at one edge and having a gap in the adjacent face and a slot 8 in the opposite edge. The last electrode is pushed forward by the long arm of a lever, the short arm of which compresses a spring in a casing at the top of the magazine. The burning electrodes are engaged by clutches 61 and are fed by pawls 56, pivoted to carriages 49, which slide on rods carried by the magazines and bear by means of rollers on a bar 48. This bar is attached to an upturned lug on the carrier-plate 38, which is forked to embrace a frame-rod 4 and carries rings on a second rod 3. The chain passes twice through a bole in the carrier 38 and carries a cross-pin 37, which may be furnished with rollers. As the pin 37 descends, it engages the edges of the hole, but in ascending it passes through a wider part of the hole and engages in wardly-projecting arms 43 of a lug on the carrier. One form of chain is shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The projecting ends of pins 26 of triangular section engage a double driving-wheel on a shaft 20, and arms 36 embrace a guide-bar 33 extending from the driving-wheel to an idler 28, which may be mounted on an adjustable bracket 29. If the idler is toothed, the guides may be dispensed with. The shaft 20 carries a ratchet-wheel 23 driven by a pawl which is oscillated by an electro-magnet.

Abstract: 19,824. Soc. Anon. "Astra." Feb. 24, [Convention date]. Motor or power units. - In an airship provided with two sets or groups of motors driving two propellers or groups of propellers, a differential mechanism is arranged between the motors and the propelling shafts so that (1) both motors may be connected to drive one or both of the propelling devices, (2) one motor may drive both or either of the propelling devices. In one arrangement, two motors a, b drive, through clutches e, f and gear wheels g, h, the shafts i, j, which are connected to the spindles of a differential gear k. The outer toothed rim l of the differential gear k gears with a toothed wheel m, which drives the propeller shafts p, q through clutches n, o. When both motors are driving, the clutches e, f are in gear, and either or both of the shafts p, q may be driven by putting the clutches n, o into gear. When only one motor is driving, the clutch e or f of the other motor is disengaged, and the shafts i, j are connected together to obviate the action of the differential gear. The clutches e, f may be dispensed with, and the gear wheels g arranged to slide on the shafts i, j in order to disconnect the motors. The motors a, b may be arranged with the starting-handles on the outside, the crank-shafts of the motor being directly clutched to the shafts i, j; or the motors may be arranged parallel to one another; in which case the pinions g, h, Fig. 3, drive the differential k operating the shafts p, q of the propellers.

A kinematograph may also be associated with the chamber to record simultaneously the actions of the performers for subsequent combined reproduction. The chamber a is built-up of wood, metal, or masonry, but preferably of wooden planks a<1> connected together by battens a<2> and supported in frames a' upon standards a'. A platform r, of which the height may be adjusted, is placed in the mouth of the chamber a, and a hood c<1> used to prevent the escape of soundwaves, the height of the platform being so arranged that the vocalist may direct the sounds along the axis of the tapering chamber a to the connecting-tubes d, c leading to the recording- gramophone b.
