Patent GB-190711876-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Tellurions.
Filed: 1907-05-22
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 11,876. Philip & Son, G., and Stephen, J. May 22. Orreries.-Telluria, combined in some cases with lunaria, are arranged to occupy a small plan area by representing the orbit on a vertical chart, the polar axis of the earth being maintained in correct angular position by gravity. Fig. 1 shows an elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan of the apparatus. A wall-frame a carries a cross-bar a<2> having a spindle c whereon is mounted a sleeve d secured to a rod e. An earth-globe E is mounted on an arm f connected by a part f to a spindle f journaled in ball bearings at the end of the rod e and inclined to the arm f<1> at the angle between the ecliptic and the equator of the earth. The part f<2> is of such length that the globe has little tendency to rotate the spindle f and a weighted arm g is attached to the spindle, so that when the rod e is set in different positions, the arm f <1> representing the polar axis maintains a constant angular position. A counterweight i, which may be slid on the rod e and secured by a screw i<1>, is provided for maintaining the rod in the set position. The eccentricity of the orbit is represented by mounting a sun-globe S on a cranked part h secured to the spindle c. A chart b stretched on the frame a or on rollers a<1> is provided with a graduated circle which represents the orbit of the earth and carries relevant information such as the maximum and minimum distances of the earth from the sun. In modifications, the eccentricity of the orbit is represented by setting the sun-globe on the axis of spindle c and mounting the earth-globe with its centre on one side of the spindle f; or the arm f may be arranged to hang in the same vertical plane as the spindle f. In the latter case, perihelion is represented when the rod e is vertical, and the orbit is represented by a graduated circle turned through a right-angle from the position shown in Fig. 1. The spindle f may carry a curved arm whereon a moon-globe may slide. The arm may be counterweighted or frictionally clamped on the spindle so as to maintain its adjusted angular position, so that by sliding the moon-globe along the arm, it may be placed in correct position relatively to the sun and earth globes. According to the Provisional Specification, the position of the spindle f on which the arm carrying the moon-globe is mounted may be cranked so that the orbit of the moon-globe round the earthglobe may be maintained without sliding the moonglobe ; also the chart may be provided with a graduated ellipse.

Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 21,515. Riley, E. C., and Slatter, D. G. Sept. 28. Gas-holders.-A ladder for spirally guided gasholders is fixed in the interior of a hollow mast erected at the side of the gas-holder. In the form shown, the mast is constructed of four angle-irons a, cross-braced on three sides by bars b and stayed on all four sides by cross-bars c, the side facing the holder having no cross-braces b. A ladder g extends from top to bottom of the mast. At the top of the mast is a fixed platform i with railings k. The bottom of the mast is secured by holding-down bolts e to suitable foundations; and the mast is further secured to the top of the tank A, and may be steadied by guy ropes. A running block m is secured to the underside of the platform i, for raising articles. Portable platforms q can be placed at any desired height, each platform comprising brackets o<1> with diagonal stays o<3>, which hook on to the framework of the mast and carry wooden slabs p having strips secured to the underside for preventing the brackets from closing inwards. Instead of the brackets shown, cantilever stays may be provided, adapted to be supported by the horizontal stays of the mast, or having feet adapted to be bolted to the irons a; or the platforms may be carried on a bracket arranged to slide up and down on the mast and having a stay engaging teeth cut on a separate member secured to the bars a. The usual pipes conveying water or steam to the lutes may be carried by the mast.

Granted: 1909-05-19
Abstract: 10,867. Carew, H. G., and McKay, W. R. May 19. Tyres, pneumatic.-In apparatus for detecting punctures in tyres, and for like purposes, of the kind in which an inflator is provided with an extension or chamber containing smoke-producing combustibles, the chamber is provided with a lining of non-conducting material to prevent injury to the hand when the chamber is used as a grip during inflation. Fig. 1 shows a detachable extension providing a chamber in which a smoke-producing cartridge i is placed. An annular lining h of asbestos or other non-conductor of heat is located between the outer casing a and a metal liner g. Screw-threaded detachable caps b, c with milled or nut-shaped heads are adapted, respectively, to screw into the head of the inflator and to receive the flexible-tube connexion. The cartridge may be made by enclosing a suitable compound in brown paper saturated with a solution of saltpetre. The casing may be covered with felt, asbestos cloth, or other heat-insulating material for additional safety. The cap c is provided with a gauze screen f for preventing particles of the combustible from being forced into the tyre. In a modification, in which the casing is integral with the inflator, the cap b is replaced by a perforated plug which is secured to the wall of the inflator. The metal liner may be dispensed with. Extensions as above may be applied to foot-pumps with stirrups including those having delivery nozzles at the side. According to the Provisional Specification, the casing a may be adapted to contain the delivery valve of the inflator, and may be fitted with a lining of fireclay provided with lugs so as to form on air-jacket for heat-insulating purposes.

Abstract: 12,164. Leslie, W. F. June 4. Impact pulverizers.-In a pulverizer in which revolving toothed hammers c act in conjunction with ribbed surfaces e, f and an adjustable toothed anvil d, the material is fed from the hopper g by a worm j<1> mounted.on a shaft j carrying a wheel j<2> which gears with a worm j<3> on a shaft driven by a belt from the main shaft a<2>. The gearing is enclosed in a casing k having a hinged cover k<2>, and the worm j<1> works in a chamber h separated from the hopper by a partition g<1>; an adjustable screen h<1> may be provided to regulate the opening. A jacket l is formed between the outer wall l<1> of the casing a and the beater chamber, through which a current of air set in motion by the beaters c circulates so as to keep the machine cool. A deflecting-plate m<1> prevents material from falling from the hopper g through the opening m at the back of the casing a. The crushed material falling through the curved sieve a' at the bottom of the beater chamber is received on a reciprocating screen n, partly disposed within the hollow base m<3> which carries the casing a. The screen is carried by supports r<2> and actuated by a rod o from a crank o<3> on a shaft driven by a belt from the shaft a<2>. When the machine is used for wet crushing the screen n is dispensed with, and a curved plate with openings at the ends is substituted for the curved sieve a'.
