Patent GB-190001431-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: MICHAUD JULES
Filed: 1900-01-23
Granted: 1900-11-24
Abstract: 1431. Michaud, J. Jan. 23. Cutting and delivery apparatus; folding paper.-Relates to means for delivering sheets in counted batches. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the web or webs of paper, longitudinally folded or not, pass between rollers 1, 2 to the cutting and folding cylinders 3, 4. The sheets are cut off by blades 5, 6 and grooved blocks 7, 8, and are folded alternately by the blades 11, 12 and by the blades 16, 17, the alternate sheets passing from the cylinders 13, 4 along the tapes 14 and 18 to the roller 15. The lengths of the paths of the tapes is such that sheets carried by them arrive together at the roller 15 and are associated. The sheets then pass down the tapes 19, and are delivered by a fly 20 against one of the partitions 21, 22, 23 on an endless band 24 on drums 25, 26. The band 24 is moved so as to collect the required number of copies between each two partitions. The arrangement of the band 24 &c. is such as that described in Specification No. 6362, A.D. 1893. A gatherer or accumulator of known form, such as is shown in Fig. 2, may be used in the apparatus. In this arrangement, the sheets are cut and folded by the cylinders 3, 4, and are carried by the tapes over the roller 27. The tapes have movable tubes 28, 29 which are moved to direct some of the sheets to one set of tapes 30 and some to another set 31, by which they are brought together at the roller 15 and passed to the delivery band. The sheets or copies carried by the different sets of tapes may, if desired, be directed to separate delivery apparatus.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Taking and Viewing or Exhibiting Cinematographic Pictures
Inventor: HATTON GEORGE FREDERIC
Filed: 1900-07-16
Granted: 1901-05-18
Abstract: 12,820. Hatton, G. F., and Whitehead, A. N. July 16. Kinematographic a p p aratus.-Relates to kinematographic apparatus for taking or exhibiting pictures. The invention is described as applied to projecting-apparatus, but is applicable also to binocular or other directvision apparatus. The film is moved continuously, but the pictures are rendered apparently stationary by means of two plane mirrors which oscillate on a common axis and are actuated by cams. A cylindrical or other shutter serves to alternately cut off the mirrors during their return movement. Fig. 3 shows a plan view of one form of the apparatus. The film a passes from the supply reel 8 under adjustable guide-rollers H, K to the driving-drum 10, from thence it passes to the receiving-reel 9. The part of the film between the rollers H, K is viewed by light reflected from the mirrors M<1>, M<2>, pivoted on the axis 0 and oscillated through arms m<3> by suitably-shaped cams n, n<1>, the levers being held against the cams by springs m<4> or by solenoids. A cylindrical rotating shutter S<1>, provided with alternating openings s, serves to cut off the light from the mirrors. The supply and receiving reels 8, 9 are geared with conical pulleys 13, round which a cord 12 passes, the cord carrying a weight 11. The various parts of the apparatus are connected by driving-bands with the drum 10 &c., so as to ensure their synchronous movement. In a modification, the rollers H, K are replaced by a large wheel with thin pins on its face, the film passing over the pins. In this case the shutter is preferably made in the form of an endless band running on guide-pulleys. In another arrangement, the shutter is of disc form with circumferential openings. The film can be driven by friction or by pin-wheels as usual. The receiving-reel is sometimes driven by a cord arranged on a conical drum to compensate for the varying thickness of the film. The reel can ba disconnected from the pulley to facilitate rewinding.

Title: Improved Means applicable for use in Operating and Controlling Electrically-propelled Trains or Tramcars.
Inventor: SHORT SIDNEY HOWE
Filed: 1900-12-12
Granted: 1901-11-23
Abstract: 22,679. Short, S. H. Dec. 12. Switches.-Relates to the control of eiectricallyoperated vehicles and trains by pneumaticallyoperated motor controllers governed by an electric master controller. The series-parallel switch drum C in the motor controller is geared to a drum C<2>, which is advanced by a pneumatic pressure or vacuum cylinder C<1>, and is returned to the off position by a spring. The piston and the spring are connected to this drum by chains C<3>, C<5>, and the drums C, C<2> may be on the same spindle but the gearing is preferred. On the drum are a number of stops, spirally arranged, which engage one after the other with levers c, and these are successively withdrawn by electromagnets f excited from the master controller so as to advance step by step. The levers are interlocked so that the withdrawal of any stop lever ensures the withdrawal of those placed before it in order. The reversing- switch C<6> in the motor controller has a pinion engaging a rack on a piston working in the pneumatic cylinder b, and air is admitted to one or other of its ends through the pipes B<1>, B<2>, by valves operated by electromagnets, Fig. 9, excited from the master reversing-switch. A small dynamo or a battery supplies current, separate from the main supply, for the controllers through a number of insulated wires in a cable through the train with suitable couplings. The air supply is drawn from a reservoir which supplies the brakes.

Granted: 1903-05-20
Abstract: 11,494. Majert, W. May 20. Medicinal preparations.-Stable bromine and iodine compounds of fats and fatty oils and of ethyl and methyl eaters of unsaturated fatty acids which contain the groups CH,.CHBr and CH2.CHI are produced and have the same physiological properties as the products containing the groups CHI.CHI and CHI.CHBr and the like, by acting upon the fats, oils, and esters with hydrobromic or hydriodic acid in the ordinary state, or in the nascent state as they are formed from phosphorus bromide or iodide. The acid is allowed to react in the gaseous condition, or in solution in water or glacial acetic acid, directly upon liquid fats &c. or upon solid fats in solution in ether, benzol, ligroin, chloroform, &c. Complete absorption of hydriodic acid is effected in 3-5 days, and of hydrobromic acid in 15-25 days. Examples are given in which sesame oil, lard, and methyl esters of the fatty acids of olive oil are thus treated, and products of a vaseline-like consistency and solid products are obtained. Products containing both bromine and iodine are produced by employing both hydriodic and hydrobromic acids.
