Patent GB-191023193-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pressure Gauges.
Inventor: ELLIS EVENIO
IPC: G01L17/00
Filed: 1910-10-07
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 23,193. Ellis, E. Oct. 7. Pneumatic-tyre pressure gauges consist of a gauge A of any construction attached to a cylindrical body B having a hollow connecting- arm C. When the arm C is attached to the tyre-valve a projection E opens the valve. Air from the tyre then forces back a rubber disk F attached to a cup leather G, and enters the body B, which communicates by means of an opening H with the gauge. When the apparatus is disconnected from the tyre, the air in the body B is trapped and the indication of the gauge may be noted. Upon releasing the air from the body B by means of a push-valve D, the gauge is re-set.

Title: An Improved Appliance for Charging Metallurgical Furnaces.
Inventor: GOTTLIEB EMIL
IPC: C22B19/06
Filed: 1911-06-13
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 14,027. Gottlieb, E. June 13. Charging.-Relates to apparatus for charging muffles in metallurgical furnaces of the kind in which the charge is fed into suspended buckets which are swung towards the furnace and discharged, and consists in providing means whereby the buckets are swung forwards and upwards towards the furnace, and upon being arrested the charge is lifted and thrown off the buckets in a solid mass into the furnace. Fig. 3 shows one of a series of hoppers and buckets arranged upon a carriage A. The charge is fed from the hopper T by a rotary pocketed drum, driven by a motor O, and passes down the shoot L into the bucket S, which is suspended by rods E, F, pivoted to the bucket and the supporting - framework. Each bucket is swung forward by two cams such as G mounted on a shaft H driven through belt gearing by the motor O. The cams bear against the rods F, which are kept in contact with them by springs W connected at one end to the supporting-framework and at the other to the parts of the rods extending beyond the pivots C. The shape of the cams is such that the acceleration of the buckets increases slowly at first and then more rapidly as the buckets get nearer the furnace muffles M until the position of the bucket shown in dotted lines is reached, when the return movement commences which is rapid at first and then decreases until the initial position is reached, whereupon the buckets remain stationary for sufficient time to be refilled. The charging - appliance may be raised or lowered to the level of the row of muffles being charged. A discharging-rake forming the subject-matter of the applicant's co-pending application 883/12 is shown in the Figures and briefly referred to in the description.

Patent GB-191208679-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Dyeing Hanks of Wool, Cotton or Silk and the like.
Inventor: GILLET LOUIS
IPC: D06B3/08
Filed: 1912-04-12
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 8679. Gillet, L. April 12. Hank type.-In apparatus for dyeing &c. wool, cotton, silk, &c., in hanks, these are supported on channelled carriers having openings in their sides so that dye liquor runs into the carriers and flows down the hanks into a trough which is fitted with graduated semicircular guards arranged one over the other, step-wise, to secure a regular downflow from the hanks Each carrier f, Fig. 9, comprises a longitudinal channel f<1> covered by two battens f<2> of triangular section which carry the hanks on their apices and leave openings f<3>, f<4>, f<5> for the flowing liquor. In a modification, Fig. 10, the battens are dispensed with. Each carrier f, in use, rests with its closed end upon a bar g, fixed to one wall a<1> of the trough a containing the guards j, Fig. 5, at a level lower than that of the open end, which engages with an opening h in the opposite wall a<2>. These openings h can be closed, more or less, bv plates h<1> attached to a sliding rod controlled by a hand-wheel h<2>, Fig. 3. The carriers are arranged in two rows in staggered relation. The dye liquor is prepared in a separate upper tank e, Fig. 2, passes through conduits n, n<1> into an upper trough b, which is provided with a division wall l and a steam pipe k, and is thence distributed to the hank-carriers f, flowing along them and down the hanks into the trough a and, through openings a<3> between the guards j, into a side trough c. An overflow channel m, fitted with a lower perforated plate m<1>, to prevent a heavy direct discharge on to the hanks, is provided in case the upper trough b should become too full. When the liquor is high enough in the trough a, the supply from the tank e is cut off and circulation is started by means of a pump d connected to the upper part of the side trough c by a suction pipe o and to the upper trough b by delivery pipes n*, n<3>. When the operation is over, the liquor may be returned from the bottom of the side trough c via a pipe p, suction pipe o, pump d, and pipes n*, n to the tank e, or run out through a plug hole p<1>. Instead of introducing the liquor to the trough a via the hanks, it may enter at the bottom, through a pipe r, it being advisable first of all to damp the hanks. If it is desired to use a moistening-bath already in the trough a for the dye bath, the dye may be introduced in the upper trough b. An extra inlet s may be provided in the trough a for introducing liquids for preliminary or subsequent treatment, say, boiling, scouring, rinsing, soaping, fixing, developing, washing, &c., and a valve-controlled pipe is also provided for emptying the upper trough b into the side trough c. Sectional covers u are provided for the trough a and upper trough b.

Abstract: 18,609. Mathys, A. W., [Miller, C. R.]. Aug. 15. Party - line systems; telephones, mounting and supporting. - Relates to a party - line system with means for locking out a third party. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of a substation, and Fig. 2 the contacts actuated by the switch-hook. When the receiver is removed, the knob 35 on the rod 12 mounted by the spring - arm 11 on the hook 6 in rising first presses the contact spring 40 against the spring 33, so connecting the magnet 18 to the battery 3, while at the same time the end part 17 of the rod 12 holds the armature 19 against the magnet 18, so that it is polarized ready to be actuated should there be a lock-out current on the line. The crook 16 then pulls the frame 23 and the armature 19 that carries it away from the magnet, and the spring 40 is released. The knob 35 then presses the contacts 33, 29 together, so bridging the magnet 18 across the lines, while the armature 19 is again pressed against the magnet by the crook 47. Should there be a lock-out current on the line, the armature will be held by the magnet and the rod 59 will strike against the outside of the V-shaped depending portion of the frame 23 and hold it away from the contact 48; but should the line be free, the armature will spring away from the magnet and the rod 59 will force the frame against the contact 48, so closing the speaking circuits. Should it be desired to lockout other stations, the push-button 72 is pressed, forcing the springs 74 together and bridging the battery 3 across the lines; the springs 74 are held together by the hook 76 until the receiver is replaced on its hook 6. An emergency call to central may be made when the station is locked out by pressing the button 82, so connecting the magnets 2 to the earthed spring 79. In case of a breakage of the line-wire, by pressing the button 86 an earth connexion is provided over which conversation may take place.
