Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 6724. Ford, J. D., and Kinmond, J. G. March 30. Preserving meat &c.-Meat and similar goods are preserved by wrapping in cloth which is rendered antiseptic by impregnation with an acid of the phenol series, such as carbolic acid, with boracic acid or its salts, formalin, or any combination of these substances.

Patent GB-190507711-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Motor-car Radiators, Steam Condensers, and the like.
Filed: 1905-04-11
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 7 7 1 1 . Lamplough, F., and Albany Manufacturing Go. April 11. Condensers.-Relates to improvements in the construction of the air surface coolers or condensers-described in Specification No. 18,953, A.D. 1901. Gills, C, Fig. 11, formed by bending from stampings preferably of the shape shown in Fig. 5, are soldered to flat tubes a, which may be constructed from sheet metal as shown in Fig. 2, the edges being sweated or soldered to ensure a tight joint. Channel - shaped filling - in pieces or "headers" e, Fig. 11, are placed between the ends of the flat tubes, thus forming a continuous surface to which the tank of the radiator may be secured. The filling-tube or nozzle f is adapted to serve also as a safety-valve. Balls g<2> are pressed outwards by springs g<1>, so that they project slightly through holes in the cylindrical portion of the filling-cap g, and beneath a flange f<1> on the tube f. Increase of pressure within the radiator causes the cap to lift, and opens passages cut through the flange f<1>.
Patent GB-190510219-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Graduating the Striking of the Keys in Mechanical Piano Playing Apparatus.
Inventor: WELTE BERTHOLD
Filed: 1905-05-15
Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 10,219. Welte, B., Welte, E., and Welte, M., [trading as Welte & S÷hne, M.]. May 20, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Automatic instruments.-In pneumatic pianoplayers the striking of the keys is graduated by the regulation of the air suction either automatically from the tune sheet or by hand. The passage between the main bellows a, Fig. 1, and the regulating-bellows d is controlled by the slide valve c, which is connected by a cord passing over a pulley g to the bellows d, so that, for a given position of the pulley, the pressure remains constant in spite of variations in the amount of air required. The pressure, however, varies according to the position of the pulley g, which may be regulated directly by hand, or indirectly by the bellows e controlled by hand, or automatically by the regulation of the bellows e by the relay system shown in Fig. 2 and operated from the tune-sheet. A rapid closing of the bellows e, resulting in a sudden forte, is effected by the relay r' controlling the large pipe l; this condition is maintained by the action of the relay r<3>, which is always used in connexion with the former for forte passages. The relay r<3> when used alone effects a gradual exhaustion of the bellows e through the very narrow pipe p, and thus provides a crescendo effect. A rapid opening of the bellows is produced by the relay r', which governs the opening of the orifice o by means of the pneumatic n, the relay r<4> which disengages the crescendo relay being simultaneously actuated. A mezzo-forte effect is produced by the action of the relay r<5>, which governs the pneumatic h and interposes a stop i in the path of the roller g and holds it in a mid-position. Various different changes are produced by suitable operations of the several relays. The relays are maintained in their raised positions until the neighbouring relay is operated by means of the air passages t, v, thus rendering long holes in the tune-sheet unnecessary for this purpose.
Patent GB-190510707-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Switching Devices for use in Electric Flash Advertising.
Inventor: JOB LEONARD KINGWILL
Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 10,707. Job, L. K. May 22. Switches for electric lamps for flash advertising comprise bimetallic strips or similar devices placed in proximity to a'lamp, the heat of which causes them to be actuated and break the lamp circuit, or break the circuit of a series of lamps. The bimetallic strip e, Fig. 1, such as is described in Specification No. 21,131, A.D. 1904, is placed near the lamp a, and controls the circuits of the lamps i. Attached by insulation g to the bimetallic strip is a strip d, provided with a contact f which bears against the bimetallic strip. The current passes from the main c through the filament b, arm d, contact f, and bimetallic strip e back to the other main, the lamps i being connected in parallel with the lamp a through the contact f. The lamp a heats the strip e, which bends away from the contact f, breaking the circuit of the lamps i. The switching-device may be arranged at the back of a reflector l, Fig. 2, which partly surrounds the lamp and is mounted upon the socket k. The heat radiation from the lamp passes through a slot in the reflector, which is covered at the back with asbestos fabric to prevent too rapid heating, while the bimetallic strip may be surrounded with asbestos for the same purpose. The application to a talking sign is showm in Fig. 3, in which the bimetallic strips e of the lamps a', a<2> bend towards the contacts f, while the last strip e bends away from its contact f. The current first passes from the main c through the filament of the lamp a, contact f of the lamp a<3>, and back to the other main. The lamp a<1> causes its strip e to bend and make contact, thereby lighting up the second lamp a<2>. This action continues until the last lamp ia reached, when its strip breaks contact and disconnects all the lamps. The bimetallic strips may be replaced by flattened tubes containing gases or devices of similar character. The Provisional Specification states that the bending of the strip may operate a relay which controls the circuit of any number of lamps.

Title: A New or Improved Process for the Ornamentation of Metal Articles particularly of Oxydized Steel, with Photographic Metal Pictures.
Inventor: JABULOWSKY EMIL
Filed: 1905-07-12
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 14,410. Jabulowsky, E., and Bourquin, A. July 12. Ornamenting metal surfaces.-Metal articles particularly of oxidized steel are ornamented with photographic metal pictures, which are deposited directly on the metal and melted on to it. A sensitized layer consisting of 6 grammes of gum arabic, 10 grammes of manna, dissolved in 45 grammes of distilled water, 45 grammes of cold saturated potassium chromate solution, and 12 drops of glycerine, is placed on a glass plate, which is dried and exposed in the usual manner under a negative. The picture is then powdered with pure white silver and covered with collodion of 2 per c nt. After the collodion has dried, the picture'film with the collodion layer is cut to size and removed from the glass in a bath of 300 grammes of distilled water with 10 grammes of ammonia. The loosened film is spread on the metal surface, which is then heated until the collodion layer is removed and the picture united with the metal.
