Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of an Adhesive Material from Casein.
Inventor: BERNSTEIN ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-09-01
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 19,557. Bernstein, A. Sept. 1. Cements.-A glue substitute is formed by adding to an alkali or alkaline salt solution of casein, a soluble silicate and a salt capable of decomposing thesilicate. Thus, to an aqueous soda solution of casein is added, with constant stirring separately or together, an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride, and ordinary commercial sodium or potassium silicate. If the product is deprived of water, it swells in cold and dissolves in hot water like ordinary glue. An addition now made to ordinary glue for various technical purposes may be made to the substitute. Other salts, such as those of the alkaline earths, may be used, e.g. calcium or barium chloride.
Patent GB-190623422-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Regulation Devices for Electric Currents.
Inventor: CABALLERO ERNESTO
Filed: 1906-10-22
Granted: 1907-10-22
Abstract: 23,422. Caballero, E. Oct. 22. Switches; cut-outs.-An electric cut-out consists of a tube containing mercury and provided with air bulbs A, A<1> at each end. The tube is pivoted at its middle point, and the bulb A' contains a platinum resistance p connected to conductors c, c<1>, which engage with cups V, V<1> containing a conducting-liquid. A cotton plug g is inserted into the tube to prevent the mercury from flowing into the bulb A'. When the current through the wire p exceeds a predetermined amount, the air in the bulb A<1> becomes heated and expands, thereby forcing the mercury into the left-hand half of the tube, and causing the latter to tilt and break the circuit at the cups V, V. A registering appliance for indicating the number of times an excess of current has occurred may be added to the cut-out, and consists of a ratchet-wheel R rotated by the pawl a<1> and held in position by another pawl a. When the pin 'r, after a certain number of interruptions, engages with a rod T<1>, it prevents the circuit from being closed. A modification is shown in Fig. 4, in which the bulb B contains a resistance H, and the bulb A a dissociable substance a which produces a gas at a certain temperature. By this arrangement, a compensation for external temperature is obtained. By shunting a portion of current in the external circuit, an apparatus designed to act at one current strength may be used for a current of greater intensity.

Granted: 1907-11-16
Abstract: 26,070. Charlton, F. J. L. Nov. 17. Driving-mechanism.-Relates to change speed gearing suitable for motor - cycles. A wheel C, slidably mounted on the engine shaft A, is connected to a wheel D for the direct drive by clutch members C<1>, D<1>. The wheel D may be secured to the belt pulley &c. B. A second speed is effected through gears G<2>, G<1> rotating together upon an eccentric &c. sleeve I<2>, which is turned about a fixed stud E to advance these gears into mesh with the wheels C, D, respectively. The wheel C has a groove C<2> receiving the jaws of a striking-lever H, which is pivoted at one end H<1> and engages at the other end H<2> in a cam-groove I' on the member I<2>. The lever H and consequently the clutch are operated simultaneously with the gears G<1>, G<2> by actuating an arm F secured to the sleeve P. To avoid shocks, the wheel C may be made slidable upon a sleeve J, which screws upon a thread K upon the shaft A. The screwing action is resisted by a spring L. Or the wheels G<2>, G<1> may be coupled by ratchet teeth, so as to allow relative movement under the action of a spring. A three-speed gear is described in which geared drives are obtained through two sets of gearing, the countershafts being carried by cranks taking the place of the eccentric sleeve I<2>.
Patent GB-190629616-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Incandescent Electric Lamps containing Mercury-vapour or the like.
Inventor: HOPFELT ROBERT
Filed: 1906-12-29
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 29,616. Hopfelt, R. Jan. 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Incandescent lamps contain vapour of mercury, potassium, sodium, &c., and also a little incondensable gas, which by conveying heat from the filaments to the bulb prevents condensation of the mercury &c. The filaments are composed of materials, such as carbon or carborundum, that are not attacked by the vapour. The incondensable gas may be nitrogen ; for example, a little air may be left in the bulbs and the oxygen removed by combination with the mercury or with phosphorus, or gas may also be introduced after exhaustion.
Patent GB-190701184-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for Denicotinizing Tobacco.
Filed: 1907-01-16
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 1184. Soc. des Tabacs DÚsintoxiquÚs, (ProcÚdÚs du Dr. Parant). Jan. 25., 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Tobacco is denicotinized by a process of diffusion and dialysis. When a bundle of tobacco leaves is placed in a dialyzer containing water, the nicotine and other crystalloid constituents thereof are dissolved and traverse the porous diaphragm into the adjoining vessel. The degree of denicotinization may be regulated by altering the relative capacity of the two vessels, or by renewing the water in the second vessel. The water in which the tobacco is suspended may be replaced by tobacco juice, and that in the second vessel by petroleum spirit or other solvent that dissolves the nicotine alone, the latter being subsequently recovered from the petroleum solution by means of ammonia. In a preferred method, the dialyzer contains tobacco juice, which has been denicotinized so that the tobacco can only yield up nicotine to the liquid in which it is suspended, and only nicotine can pass through the porous diaphragm into the outer vessel. The tobacco juice, in the outer vessel of the dialyzer, is denicotinized by treating it with ammonia, and two or three times its weight of petroleum spirit, and causing it to rotate slowly in large casks. A convenient form of dialyzer is that used in sugar works, and consists of two series of wooden frames separated from one another by parchment paper. The tobacco is placed in one of the series of frames, all of which are arranged to enable the liquid to maintain a constant circulation from below upwards. The liquid denicotinized by petroleum spirit issues from a high level tank to the dialyzer, from which it emerges enriched in nicotine and is directed into revolving casks to be deprived of its nicotine by means of petroleum spirit. The tobacco may be hung in large wooden vats into which the liquid denicotinized by dialysis is conducted. When the tobacco is sufficiently exhausted of nicotine, the liquid is run off and the tobacco dried by suitable ventilation in the vats in which they are suspended. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the use in the dialyzer of an artificial liquid, that is to say, an aqueous solution of the crystalloid principles contained in the tobacco. By the use of this liquid the composition of certain tobaccos may be modified, for example deficient combustibility may be rectified by using an artificial liquid deficient in lime salts. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Recovering Lubricating Oils in Marine Engines.
Inventor: BIBOLINI GIOVANNI BATTISTA
Filed: 1907-01-17
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 1272. Bibolini, G. B., and Baulino, C. Jan. 17,. Lubricating-oils, recovering. In apparatus for recovering oil from the water from a ship's well and for separating oil from feedwater, of the kind described in Specification No. 19,488, A.D. 1904, the water-tight compartments of the ship, preferably the compartments of the double bottom of the engine-room, are utilized as oil-separating tanks. The compartment a is fitted with an horizontal water-tight partition o with inspection openings. The upper part of the compartment is fitted with vertical partitions h; r with perforations at their bases. Water from the well passes through an opening m and the partition h, and through the tank with a low velocity. The foul water passes through the partition r and is pumped through a pipe t into the sea ; air is withdrawn by a pipe s. The oil collects in the upper part of the tank and may be heated by a coil, and is withdrawn through a pipe v. Water which does not contain oil is fed by a pipe q and discharged through the pipe t without passing through the tank. In separating oil from condensation water, the separating-tank is divided into two parts which are fed alternately, so that the water may remain at rest for a short time to facilitate the separation of the oil.
