Title: Improvements in Self-acting Mules for Spinning.
Inventor: STOTT JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 24,279. Stott, J. Nov. 24. Mules.-The adjustment of the strapping-motion is rendered automatic by leading the usual chain a, which passes from arms on the faller and counterfaller shafts c, h respectively round the bowl d on the pivoted catch lever e on the mule carriage, and over a stud k mounted on a nut j automatically adjustable on a screw h<1> carried from the counterfaller finger g, through a slob l in which the stud projects. The nut carries a ratchet-wheel m and is rotated to shorten the chain as required by a pawl n actuated by levers and links from the shafts c, h, such an arrangement comprising a link o pivoted to the collar p on the shaft c and to a lever q on a stud r carrying another lever t to which a slotted link u embracing the pawl lever v is pivoted. The lever v is freely mounted on the nut j. During the normal operation of the faller shafts, the end of the slot in the link u acts on the pawl lever to rotate the ratchet-wheel and nut, thereby carrying the stud k towards the shafts to shorten the chain, a weighted chain x retaining the pawl when the counterfaller finger g descends, so that the operation can be repeated until the cop attains its full diameter. Adjustment of the links and levers may be made at several points. The screws. h<1> may be rotated instead of the nut, to traverse the stud k.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Mode and Means for Burning Tar and like Fuel in Furnaces
Inventor: BALLARD STEPHEN
Filed: 1906-01-20
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 1559. Ballard, S. Jan. 20. Gas retorts.-To burn tar and the like in retort, steam-boiler, refuse - destructor, and like furnaces, the tar is fed from a tank into retorts c<1>, c<2>, c<3> by means of steam injectors F<1>, and is heated by the waste beat from the retort or other furnace or by a separate fire-place c<4>. The tar is thus vaporized and led off by pipes p<1>, p<2>, p<3> to a main P passing to the ash-pit of the furnace. The retorts c<1>, c<2>, c' have their front ends, to which the tar injectors are attached, made in two parts, namely, a fixed upper part c<5> and a removable lower part c<6> to facilitate withdrawal of residues. Tar flows from pipes f into cups f<2>, Fig. 6, on the injectors and thence to nozzles f through which it is driven by steam from the pipes f<5> and nozzles f<7>. The nozzles f<7>, f<8> may be removed for cleaning purposes by screwing down the nut f<11> upon the shoulder of the body part f thus lifting the part f<9> containing the nozzles.

Title: Improved Combined Means for Treating Trade Effluents.
Inventor: BROADBENT BENJAMIN
Filed: 1906-02-24
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 4537. Broadbent, B., and Broadbent, A. Feb. 24. Fats and fatty oils, recovering. Trade effluent, refuse soap suds, &c. are supplied to the trough 3 through the pipe 2, sprayed with acid from the pipe 4<1>, and directed through a hinged or sliding door into one of the tanks 1. The acid and sud are thoroughly mixed by agitators 5<1>, 6<1>, the blades of which are either arranged so that both sets give the liquid a downward motion or so that the upper set tends to turn the liquid downward while the lower tends to move it upward. Solid impurities are then allowed to settle, and the water is drawn off from beneath the grease through a trap 12 consisting of a chamber with V-shaped slots surrounding a pipe 13. After the removal of the water, the grease is again agitated to allow of its removal through the pipe 15. Specification No. 555, A.D. 1899, is referred to.

Title: Improved Method and Means for Working Telegraphic Installations Composed of Rapidly and Slowly Working Lines.
Filed: 1906-03-09
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 5744. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 11, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs.-A telegraphic network is rendered economical both as regards labour and expense of installation by the following arrangement of circuits and apparatus :-Main stations I, II, III, IV, are connected by rapidly-working lines, and from them branch slowly-working lines to the less important stations 2, 3, &c. The transmitting- apparatus at the main stations is of the perforated strip type both for the rapidly and the slowly working lines, the strip-punching receivers and strip-operated transmitters being of known type. Thus, if Hughes' apparatus is used on the slowlyworking lines, the receiving-apparatus at the main stations for messages sent from a branch station is arranged to produce perforated strip suitable for use with the high-speed transmitters, and the receiving-apparatus at the distant end of the highspeed line produces perforated strip of a character adapted to control the transmitter on the branch line to the receiving Hughes' instrument.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Change Speed Gears for Bicycles and the like.
Inventor: PLAYER JOSEPH WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-03-30
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 7674. Player, J. W. March 30. Variable-speed gearing.-The planet-pinions K of a cycle threespeed epicyclic gear, always in mesh with a sun-pinion G which is adapted to be held stationary or allowed to rotate, also gear with either or both of two internally-toothed rings D, F upon the driving and driven members, respectively. Owing to the sides of its teeth bearing against the carrier J, H, the freely-mounted sun-pinion is prevented from lateral movement relative to the carrier. For the low gear, the sun-pinion is held stationary by the engagement of clutch parts G', M, and the hub is driven through the teeth D, the pinions K, the carrier part J, and the teeth J<1>, F. By sliding the carrier and pinions towards the left into the position shown in Fig. 1, the sun-pinion is set free to turn and the planet-pinions are brought into gear with both sets of teeth F, D, so that the hub is driven direct. Further movement of the gear members brings the clutch parts G<2>, N into engagement to hold the sun-pinion stationary, and then the hub is driven at high speed through the teeth D, H<2>, pinions K, and the teeth F.

Abstract: 11,395. Lamure, P. May 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Carburetting.-The vapour of oil or other liquid fuel is drawn by means of a pump through a porous vaporizer 3 with radial ribs 4, which also serves as a filter, and is forced through a porcelain retort heated by the exhaust of an internal-combustion engine, where the vapour is fixed, and thence through an air-mixing chamber to a surface cooling-apparatus 22, where it may mix with more air before entering the engine cylinder. The pump is worked through a Stevenson link-motion controlled by the governor, or it may be dispensed with and the engine piston may draw the charge through the apparatus, the admission valve being worked mechanically. The cooler 22 is constructed as shown in section in Fig. 5. The combustible mixture may be collected in a reservoir under pressure and be used for starting or for lighting and heating purposes in a motor-car.
