Patent GB-190517888-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Combined Electric Switches and Automatic Circuit Breakers.
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1905-09-04
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 17,888. Holmes, J. H. Sept. 4. switches.-Relates to combined switches and automatic circuit-breakers in which the switch cannot be held on while the automatic circuitbreaker is in action, and, when circuit is broken, the handle returns to the 'off' position ready. for reclosing. The blade of a quick-break switch is moved by a toggle which may be tripped by hand or by the core of an electro-magnet directly or through a second toggle. The hand-lever 4, Figs. 1 and 2, moves the pivot 5, which connects the toggle-levers 2, 3. The switch lever 6 carries a pin 7, which can slide in a slot 8 in the lever 3. The toggle may be tripped by the rod 10, actuated by an electro-magnet &c. on an overload. This lifts the lever 3, and enables the spring 11, or its equivalent, to move the lever 6 to break the circuit, as in Fig. 2. The circuit may also be broken by lifting the handle 4, in which case the pin 7 remains in the slot 8 in the position shown in Fig. 1. The outer lever 2 may be disconnected instead of the lever 3, or the abutment 1 may rock on a centre. The pivot of the handle 4 may be supported by a slider in guides, Fig. 4, a detent 9 engaging a projection 13 on the slider. The detent 9 may be tripped by the solenoid core &c. 10 acting on the lever 9<a>, allowing the switch to be opened by the spring 11. It may be opened by hand without moving the abutment, and a slot 4<a> provides for lost motion and a quick break. In a modification, Fig. 7, the pin 5 carries a slotted link 14, in which works a pin 15 on an arm 16 attached to the handle. The detent 17 engages with a projection 18, and is connected to an arm 17<a> loosely pivoted on the pin of the handle. In another modification, Fig. 10, a supplementary pair of toggle-levers is employed to trip the main toggle, composed of the lever 3 and the arm 2 of the handle. The end of the lever 3 has a notch 9 to engage a pivoted bar 17, and is kept in engagement by the spring 18. The bar 17 is locked by a catch rod 19 with a transverse notch through which the tail of the bar 17 passes when an overload causes the core 10 to turn the rod 19. The movement of the bar 17 unlocks the lever 3, and allows the switch arm 6 to move under the action of the spring 11. The switch may be opened by the handle 4 without disengaging the toggle-lever 3 from the bar 17.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Water Tube Boilers
Inventor: TABOULEVITCH VALDEMAR
Filed: 1905-09-25
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 19,361. Taboulevitch, V. Sept. 25. Instantaneous generators. - A generator using water mixed with oil to prevent spheroidal action, as described in Specification No: 7278, A.D. 1902, is composed of two sets of U-tubes, which are fed independently and have a common steam collector. The tubes of one set pass between and intersect at right-angles those of the other set, as shown in Fig. 2. Figs. 10 and 11 show the two sets and the connexions between the rows of tubes. The upper connecting-bends are restricted in bore or are fitted with nozzles 17, Fig. 13. Fig. 12 shows the stagered arrangement of the tubes. The feed is injected into the most heated rows of each section, and is converted into steam in the two lowest rows. The remaining rows serve for superheating the steam. The tubes are supported at their back ends in channel-irons and at their front ends by flat bars ; the ends of the tubes are fitted with nipples having flats 10, Fig. 7, which fit between the bars. The method of making the joints between the bends and the tubes is shown in Fig. 8. Each bend is fitted with a coned nipple, which engages a similar nipple on the tube. A union nut connects the two parts. The opening leading into the uptake is fitted with steel bars or rods 5; Fig. 3, arranged in staggered order. The apparatus for introducing oil into the feed-water is shown in Fig. 1. The oil tank e is connected with the suction pipe c of the feed-pump below the suction valve:

Title: A New or Improved Process for Converting into a Marketable Product Vegetable or Animal Matter from which Oily or Greasy Matter has been Extracted.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1905-10-31
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 22,242. Haddan, H. J., [Edson Reduction Machinery Co.]. Oct. 31. Gelatine.-Vegetable or animal matter to be treated for obtaining oil, gelatine, &c. is fed into a cylinder A through the upper dome a, and steam under pressure is supplied to the jacket B by pipes d, boiling being prevented by putting the cylinder in communication with a compressed-air reservoir G. The liberated oil rises in the dome a and flows off by the pipe K to a tank J, this being expedited by pumping in water through the pipe l. When all oil has thus been led away, the water containing any gelatine &c. is allowed to drain from the cylinder by the pipe N, the mass being meanwhile treated to obtain a marketable product. Specification No. 18,471, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Oils &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 22,713. Birt, C. S. Nov. 6. Inhalers.-An anµsthetic inhaler is provided, between the air bag and the face piece, with a main tube 1 to which is pivotally connected a carrier 2 for a sealed tube of somnoform or other anµsthetic. The drawn - out end of the tube passes through a hole in the rubber diaphragm 6 and is engaged by the tube 11, which is controlled by a spring 14. The main tube is provided with an air valve controlled by a spring 18 and held open by the arm 3 of the carrier 2 when in the position shown in Fig. 1. When the anµsthetic tube is raised, the end is snapped off by the tube 11 and the anµsthetic is gradually discharged on to lint wound on a carrier in the lower part of the tube 1. The air valve is at the same time released. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the air valve is combined with the pivotal connexion of the tube carrier. The carrier screws into a cylinder 24 working in an external cylinder 21. The cylindersare provided with openings 22, 25 which serve as air-admission ports unil the anµsthetic tube is raised. A friction grip 26 is provided to hold the anµsthetic tube in place when raised. The anµsthetic tube is broken by a tube 31 and the anµsthetic absorbed as before.

Abstract: 26,051. Baron, R. J. F. S. March 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Soap holders. -A cake Z of soap is suspended from the end of a chain T, which is wound on a drum D by the action of a spiral spring E. The drum is enclosed in a casing B, having an opening G through which the chain passes. In order that the pull of the spring shall not interfere with the use of the soap, this opening G has a narrow slot V, Fig. 4, at each side, so that a slight lateral displacement causes one of the links to engage in one of the slots V. The soap Z is held between two disks S, K, by a toothed rod R, passing through the soap into a tubular stem M, where it is held by projections 0 on the spring tongues N. When the soap has been completely used up, the projections 0--are disengaged by means of a sliding sleeve L.

Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 2001. Kauffmann, J. M. Jan. 26. Telemeters.-Two mirrors 6, 8, each capable of rotation on vertical and horizontal axes, are mounted at the ends of a base-bar 2. The distance of an object D situated above, below, or in the horizontal plane of the instrument, is determined by the angle through which it is necessary to rotate the mirror 8 on either its horizontal or vertical axis, according to the way in which the instrument is used, in order to bring the images of the object seen in the mirrors into coincidence. The base-bar may be ranged broadside-on to the object,.and if necessary is turned over on its balljointed support so as to bring the distant object into the normally horizontal plane of rotation of the mirrors. Alternatively, in order to find the distance of an object above or below the horizontal plane of the observer, the base may be directed end-on to the object, so that after the mirrors have been fixed on their vertical axes at right angles to the base-bar, coincidence may be effected by revolving the mirrors on their horizontal axes. The determined angle E 0 D; Fig. 5, may be read off on the base-plate 10 by means of a pointer B, which is slid along the periphery of the plate until it is seen by reflection in the mirror 8 to coincide with the distant object. The base-plate may be graduated to read directly in distances.
