Title: Improvements relating to the Operation of Vapour Electric Lamps.
Inventor: THOMAS PERCY HOLBROOK
Filed: 1906-09-18
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 20,730. Thomas, P. H. Sept. 27, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Vacuum tubes.-An alternating-current vapour lamp has steadying-resistances in circuit with one or more, but not with all, of its anodes, and is connected to a transformer in such a way that the effect of the resistances is compensated for by the application of higher voltages to the circuits containing them than to the other anode-circuits. By this means, the lamp can be adapted for use with various voltages. In one arrangement for singlephase working, the supply mains 2, 3 and anodes 5, 6 are connected symmetrically to a step-up autotransformer, a resistance 11 being in series with the anode 5 ; the cathode 7 is connected through an inductance coil 8 to a point in the transformer winding unsymmetrically placed with regard to the anode connexions, preferably to the point of connexion of the main 3. An analogous arrangement may be employed with a step down transformer, the mains being in this case connected to the ends of the transformer winding, and the anodes and cathode to intermediate points.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Filling and Exhausting the Pressure Cylinder or Cylinders of Hydraulic Presses whilst under Pressure.
Inventor: ASTFALCK WILAND
Filed: 1906-11-01
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 24,451. Astfalck, W. Nov. 1. Hydraulic presses.-In apparatus for filling and exhausting the pressure cylinder or cylinders of hydraulic presses while under pressure, the filling- water is taken directly from a separate pump connected to the ram or piston, and is led back to this pump. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. The pressure cylinder a communicates by a channel b with the pump cylinder c, the respective pistons d, e being directly connected. A hand-operated valve g is placed in the passage b, and from the pump side of this valve a pipe h leads to a storage tank l; from the other side, a pipe k leads to the high-pressure system. The supply pipe q leads to the retracting-cylinders m. On the downward stroke of the plunger d, the water passes from the cylinder c to the cylinder a, the surplus passing up the pipe h. When the plunger d has finished its idle stroke, the valve g is closed, and the valve i in the high-pressure pipe k opened to allow the pressure water to complete the effective stroke. On the return stroke, the cylinder c is filled, partly with water forced from the cylinder a and partly with water drawn from the tank l. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which an ordinary non-return valve is substituted for the hand-operated valve. The high-pressure branch pipe k<1> may then either lead to a discharge pipe or to the high-pressure pipe k, and a special valve n is fitted in the pipe h. This valve is adapted to be opened by pressure on the piston r in the cylinder x. Fig. 5 shows another modification, in which one cylinder only is employed, one side of the piston d being used as a pump and the other side as a pressure chamber. The two sides communicate by a pipe h, which is fitted with an exteriorly. operated valve, such as g.

Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 26,771. McMahon, P. V. Nov. 24. Spray-producers.-A spraying-nozzle is formed as a cup-shaped or conical cavity, the apex of the cone forming the bottom of the cavity into which air or exhaust gas is forced. The air used for spraying is preferably supplied by a small pump at a pressure of about 1¢ to 2 lb. per sq. in. The petrol or other liquid may be supplied by a pump of variable capacity or by a tank under the control of a cock. The circular cavity b, Fig. 1, is surrounded by a trough c to which liquid is supplied by the pipe e. This liquid forms a thin film over the hole d, through which air under pressure or exhaust gases pass from the pipe b<1>. A series of holes may be formed at the bottom of the cavity. A multiple spraying-device is shown in Fig. 6 ; the jets are arranged in a circle, and the liquid is supplied to each cavity by the cock n, which allows the jets to be brought into action similtaneously or consecutively. Liquid enters by the pipe e and air or gas by the pipe b<1>. A modification of this device in which an air regulator is used is also described. A form of sprayer for use in horizontal positions is shown in Figs. 9, 10, and 11 ; any number of air holes d may lead from the air inlet b<1> to the cavity b, and instead of a series of holes a narrow slit may be used. In the sprayer shown in Figs. 17 and 18, six cavities are formed in the plate y which can slide over the plate y<1> containing air openings of different lengths a', a<2>, a<3>. Liquid is supplied by the pipe e.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Grinding Cams and other Irregularly-shaped Objects.
Inventor: WADKIN JOSEPH WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-12-20
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 29,103. Wadkin, J. W. Dec. 20. Surfacing; copying.-Relates to an attachment suitable for ordinary cylindrical grinding - machines and other machines adaptable for grinding purposes, by which cams, glands, and like irregular-shaped objects can be accurately copied. The attachment may be used to produce any regular or irregular external or internal shapes, and is specially adapted for grinding cams for valve-gears for motors. The attachment comprises a crescent-shaped frame 1, Fig. 3, pivoted on centres 6, constructed as shown in Fig. 7, and mounted on the sliding table 7 of the grinding-machine. The shaft 3 carrying the pattern cam 14 is mounted in bearings 2 on this frame, and is rotated through a pulley 15 and gearwheels 41 by a belt from the ordinary overhead gear. A disk or arm 22 is fixed to the shaft and carries a spring-operated catch 23, which engages with slots in a dividing-plate 25 loose on the shaft. The pattern cam or cams, which are mounted on a keyed sleeve 38 carded by the plate 25, are by this means angularly adjustable. The inner end of the shaft 3 is provided with a steel centre 21, or is externally threaded to carry a chuck. The shaft 4, Fig. 6, carrying the cams to be ground is rotated by the shaft 3, and is mounted coaxially with it on the centre 21 and on an adjustable centre which slides on ways 18 on the frame 1. The spiod'e 4 is supported between its ends by pieces 31, Fig. 6, adjustable in a pivoted adjustable bracket 39 carried by a bracket 40 mounted oa the frame 1. The pattern cam is held in contact with a roller 13', by a spring 29 or by a suitably-disposed weight. The roller 13 is mounted on an arm 12 carried in an adjustable bracket 11 pivoted on an axis 10, which is mounted in the bracket 9. The roller can be adjusted towards the shaft 3 and longitudinally along the axis 10 to bring it into engagement with anyone of the dummies, if more than one is used, and is secured in position by setscrews 34, 35. As the pattern rotates in contact with the roller 13, it causes the frame 1 to oscillate about the centres 6, and to so move the cam to be ground in relation to the grinding-disk that it is ground to the required pattern. Cylindrical necks may be ground on the cams, while they are mounted in the oscillating frame 1, by holding the frame stationary. The attachment may be fitted upon a special frame, provided in a self-contained manner with a grinding-wheel and with means for driving it and for making the necessary adjustments.

Granted: 1908-03-02
Abstract: 5128. Lake, C. S., [representative of Lake, H. H.], [Pradel, G. J. L.]. March 2. Glucose and like carbohydrates.-Peat is digested under pressure with dilute sulphuric acid so as to saccharify the gummy and starchy matters in the peat without saccharifying the cellulose. The mixture is neutralized with calcium carbonate, or with the mud which occurs at the bottom of many peat beds, and which contains calcium carbonate, clay, and sand, and also small quantities of phosphoric acid, magnesia, and nitrogen, which serve as a yeast food. The material is cooled to 35‹ C., and fermented either with ordinary yeast or with yeast obtained from the berries growing on peat bogs. A part of the fermented liquid is decanted, and is used for the digestion of a further quantity of peat, the acidity of the liquid rendering a smaller addition of acid necessary. The vapours of alcohol and of ether formed by the action of the acid, and the aromatic vapours from the peat, which are evolved from the digester, are condensed.

Act, 1907., Dyes, artificial ; thionaphthene derivatives; thioglycollic acid derivatives.-Dyes of the thioindigo series are obtained from m- or p-aminophenylthioglycollico - carboxylic acids or their acidyl derivatives (1) by condensing them by means of caustic alkali and oxidizing the m- or p-aminooxythionaphthene or their carboxylic acids ; (2) by heating them with a solution of bisulphite to about 150-180‹ C. ; (3) by heating them with sulphur ; or, according to the Provisional Specification, by heating the said acids with nitrohydrocarbons. The dye-stuffs produced from the p-derivatives dye cotton and wool black tints, whereas those produced from the m-derivatives dye cotton and wool brown shades. The m- and p-acetaminophenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acids which serve as parent materials are produced by diazotizing the corresponding acetaminoanthranilic acid, treating the diazo compound with a solution of potassium xanthogenate and sodium carbonate, boiling the filtered solution with chloracetic acid in caustic alkali solution, and precipitating by means of hydrochloric acid. By heating m- or p-aminophenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acid or their acidyl derivatives with caustic alkali solution, and extracting the mass with a little water, the sodium salt of the corresponding aminooxythionaphthene carboxylic acid is produced, and by acidifying the aqueous solution of the mass with acetic acid, the free acid is precipitated. On boiling with hydrochloric acid, the corresponding aminooxythio - napbtheue results. By treating the dye-stuffs obtained as above with bromine, chlorine, or substances yielding them, other dye-stuffs are obtained, that from the m-acetamino compound dyeing cotton and wool pure orange tints, and that from the p-acetamino compound dyeing these substances fast black tints.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanism for Raising and Lowering Theatre Scenes, Curtains and the like.
Inventor: HART JOHN
Filed: 1907-09-09
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 20,084. Hart, J. Sept 9. Window blinds.-Each scene, curtain, or the like is independently raised by power and falls by gravity. The ropes supporting the scenes are wound on drums, riding loose upon a driving- shaft, and thrown into engagement with the shaft by suitably-operated clutch mechanism f, Fig. 1. At the top of each scene is a steel bar, to which three ropes are attached, the ropes being either taken to a ring or separate ; in the former case, the rope on the winding-drum is secured to the ring, and in the latter case the three ropes are each taken to the drum. The intermediate guidepulleys have the requisite number of grooves. To check the motion of the sheet, a ratchet-wheel n, Fig. 4, attached to the drum, engages with a spring-pressed pawl o pivotally mounted to a fixed part of the apparatus. The pawl is operated by a hand-lever s which is pivoted at t and secures the ends of a brake strap r working on a brakedrum q attached to the winding-drum. Instantaneous or gradual stoppage of the descent of the screen can thus be obtained by bringing respectively the pawl or brake strap into operation. Another and more silent method consists of a brake - strap r combined with a hand - operated eccentric v, Fig. 3, mounted on a shaft parallel to the shaft of the brake-drum and provided with a gripping surface w to engage the brake-drum as the eccentric is oscillated. A weight x urges the eccentric into the gripping position, and a stop 4 attached to an arm y on the eccentric limits the movement of the eccentric. A stop, attached to a rope wound on a drum attached to the winding- drum, engages a fixed plate when the scene reaches its lowest position, a spring attached to the stop serving to cushion the blow on the stop engaging with the plate.

Title: Improvements in Sealing and Capping Bottles, Jars or the like
Inventor: BOND SAMUEL CANEDO
Filed: 1908-09-15
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 19,393. Bond, S. C. Oct. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Capsuling.-In a method of applying sealing- caps to bottles, the bottle and the capping-head are moved relatively and the cap is applied by force exerted peripherally on its flange without any pressure being applied to the top of the cap, and without the use of compensating-devices. The cap-applying means which is described in Specification No. 19,394, A.D. 1908, consists of V-shaped fingers 14 pivotally supported in one form by rings 15, Fig. 2, in a grooved block 12 which is held in place in the capping-head by an annular plug 13. The fingers are all retained in normal position, and are caused to act simultaneously and to the same extent, by a sleeve 16 which normally rests on a shoulder 18 of the block 12 and is adapted to move freely in the shell 11 of the capping-head. In operation, the caps are first engaged by the corners x of the fingers 14, and when the cap is arrested by the bottle, the fingers are shifted upwardly, the points x moving inwards until the portions y of the fingers bear against the side walls of the cap above the flange. The fingers are then locked, and during tre continued downward movement of the cappiughead the flange of the cap is wiped towards, but not close against, the neck of the bottle, for no part of the fingers passes under the bead and so room is always left for an uncapping-tool. The downward pull on the cap is continued until the flange breaks down, when the fingers drop back to normal position and entirely out of contact with the cap. In the above form of the invention, the caps are fed to the capping-head through a slot 19, Fig. 2, when they will rest on the edges 20 of the plug 13 until engaged by the bottle, or, the plug may be provided with spring-catches to retain the caps. In a modification, Fig. 5, the fingers 14 have a pivoted bearing on a shoulder 22 of the plug 13 and are retained in normal position by an annular weight 24 with a depending flange 25. In this form, the corners x of the fingers form a yielding ring adapted to hold a cap until engaged by the bottle.
