Patent GB-190825647-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Copying Documents.
Inventor: SOENNECKEN FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1908-11-27
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 25,647. Soennecken, F., and Magnus, E. C. Nov. 27. Clutches. - In a ratchet mechanism for driving the winding-on roll of a copying-machine, a ratchet-wheel 24 drives the roller in one direction through pawls 25, and for reverse rotation a disk 30 carrying pins 31 is rotated and both raises the pawls 25 from the ratchet-wheel and rotates the pawls and arms 26. The pawls are held in contact with the wheel by springs 28.
Patent GB-190908070-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Clocks and Watches.
Inventor: CURTIES WALTER WILLIAM
IPC: G04B19/22
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 8070. Curties, W. W. April 5. Geographical clocks.-A map of the world, projected on a disk or dome-shaped surface A with one of the poles as the centre, is loosely mounted on the pipe carrying the hour-hand, and is made to rotate, by. suitable gearing, once in twenty-four hours. The map is surrounded by a concentric dial B, bearing, in addition to the usual 12-hour divisions, an inner ring C of twenty-four divisions, by which the simultaneous times of all places marked on the map are indicated. The dial B is suitably shaded and tinted.
Patent GB-190909891-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valve and Valve Gear for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BAUDUIN ALFRED
IPC: F01L7/02
Filed: 1909-04-26
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 9891. Bauduin, A. April 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Plates, securing pipes to. - In an internalcombustion engine, a rotary admission and exhaust valve d is held in place by a plate s<1>, and the inlet pipe o is connected to this plate by a union t forming with the plate an oil reservoir for lubricating the valve.
Patent GB-190910265-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Removing Soot from the Fire Tubes, or Water Tubes, of Steam Generators.
Inventor: GRUENWALD TEODORO
IPC: F28G1/16
Filed: 1909-04-30
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 10,265. Gr³nwald, T. April 30. Cleaning, fluidpressure processes for. - Soot is removed from boiler tubes by a jet of hot air and steam delivered through a nozzle m, the steam pipe h being b e n t at rightangles a short distance from the nozzle, which is introduced through an opening in the walls of the smokebox, and successively brought opposite to the tubes to be cleaned. To facilitate positioning the nozzle, the opening in the wall of the smoke-box preferably comprises a circular orifice d, from which extends a straight slot c having notches e to indicate the positions of the rows of tubes, and the steam-pipe h has graduations n. Or a frame o, on which is painted a diagram of the arrangement of the tubes, may be mounted over the openings in the smoke-box, the steam pipe h having a pointer p. When used for cleaning the exteriors of water-tubes, the nozzle m may have a tubular extension, which enters between the rows of tubes. The openings in the walls of the smoke-box may bo closed by pivoted covers f.
Patent GB-190911716-A (GB)
Title: Wave Motor.
Inventor: EDWARDS CHARLES ERNEST
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 1909-05-18
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 11,716. Edwards, C. E. May 18. Wave mills. - Comprises a wave motor having a number of power units, each being of the type in which there is a vertically rising and falling vane attached to an oscillating arm and adapted to be moved to and fro by the waves. Each unit is carried by a fixed frame 1, in which is located a smaller frame which can be turned on rollers 10 and locked in any desired position. This smaller frame carries a shaft 9 adapted to be moved by a buoyant vane 15 on the arm 14. Mounted on the shaft 9 are two gear segments 16, 17, which mesh with pinions 18 loose on the shaft 8. Pawls on the pinions 18 engage a double ratchet-wheel 20 fixed on the shaft 8, whereby a one-direction movement is given to this shaft, and consequently to the main power shaft 3, with which it is connected by bevel-gearing
Patent GB-190911894-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Reversing Gear for Steam Engines.
Inventor: STANLEY WILLIAM
IPC: F01L29/02
Filed: 1909-05-20
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 11,894. Stanley, W. May 20. Eccentrics.-Consists in gear for reversing the engine by shifting the eccentric transversely across the shaft. The eccentric b is in the form of a ring, and is adjustably mounted on the cover o of a drum c keyed to the shaft by studs s, t, which slide in slots in the cover of the drum. The stud t is secured by a forked rod j to one or two disks l pivoted on arms on the drum. The disk or disks l are connected by a rod f to a reversing-sleeve d. When the sleeve d is moved along the shaft, the eccentric is moved across the shaft by means of the links f, j, and the disk or disks l.
Patent GB-190913291-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Smelting of Sulphide Ores and the like.
Inventor: RUTHENBURG MARCUS
IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 1909-06-07
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,291. Ruthenburg, M. June 7. Matte processes.-Complex sulphide ores &c., or mixtures of other ores with ores containing sulphur, are melted without fluxes in an electric furnace, air being admitted to form sulphurous acid, and care being taken that enough sulphur is present to prevent the copper from becoming oxidized and entering the slag. The residue in the furnace consists of a matte of iron and copper containing a large proportion of the gold and silver, and a slag containing silicate of iron &c. The matte may be suitably treated for the recovery of the contained metals.
