Patent GB-190801884-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Brewing Processes.
Inventor: BREKER HERMANN
Filed: 1908-01-28
Granted: 1909-03-01
Abstract: 1884. Breker, H. Jan. 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Brewing.-In order to prevent turpidity of beer due to albuminoids, the mash or wort after the boiling operation is treated with a peptonizing- enzyme to render the albuminoids soluble. Malt is mashed at 38‹ C., heated to 75‹ C. to convert the starch, and boiled. The mash or the wort drained therefrom is cooled to a temperature below 69‹ C., preferably 62-64‹ C., and a clear extract of malt containing the ferments, peptase, and diastase, or other solution containing a peptonizing-enzyme, is added. The malt extract may be taken from the main mash at 38‹ C., or may be separately prepared. The mash or wort is subsequently heated to 73-75‹ C., a further quantity of malt extract is added to complete the saccharification of the starch, and the mash or wort is boiled. The process enables glutinous barley to be used in the brewing process. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a process in which malt is masbed at 38‹ C. with only a little water, heated to 75‹ C., and hoiled. The thick mash is cooled by being mixed with a malt extract, containing peptase diluted w:ith a large quantity of cold water, so that the temperature of the mixture becomes 62-64‹ C. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted. Specifications No. 4927, A.D. 1893, No. 17,246, A.D. 1896, No. 28,579, A.D. 1897, No. 12,660, A.D. 1898, and No. 2384, A.D. 1902, are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro-magnetically Controlled Switches.
Filed: 1908-07-14
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 14,967. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 14. Switches.-An electro-magnetic switch, applicable in connexion with systems of motor control in which a number of switches operate automatically in succession to cut out resistance in the motor circuit, and of the kind described in Specification No. 16,195, A.D. 1906, is provided with means, comprising a circuit in inductive relation to the actuating-coil, whereby the operation of the switch is retarded after the energization of the actuating- coil. The switch, which opens its own actuating- circuit after operation, comprises a solenoid 3, magnetic core 4, a contact disk 11 of magnetic material, and contacts 16, 17, also of magnetic material. These contacts 16, 17 are secured by bolts 20, 21 of magnetic material, which are surrounded by solenoids 18, 19 permanently in series with a solenoid 30 in inductive relation to the actuating-solenoid 3. When current in the circuit of the solenoid 3 is building-up to operate the switch, the core 4 is sucked up, but does not move the disk 11, since the latter is held magnetically to the contacts 16, 17 by the flux due to current passing through coils 18, 19, which is supplied by the solenoid 30 and produced inductively by the varying current in the solenoid 3 ; hence the plate 11 is retained on the contacts 16, 17, and the extension 15 of the core 4 rises against the action of a spring 14, which spring causes a rapid break of contact at 16, 17, when the current in the solenoid 3 becomes steady and there is no induced current passing round the coils 18, 19. The contacts may be silver-plated.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: MYCOCK SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-09-19
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 19,707. Mycock, S. Sept. 19. Steam-traps.-A trap, wherein the fall of a float caused by entrance into it of water standing in a tank opens the drainage valve by means of a quickthreaded screw or a cam, is fitted with a doublebeat drainage valve, the two parts of which are of different diameters. A full-way passage is thus procured through the valve and the trap. Fig. 1 shows one construction in plan. The ball i, which has a small water inlet at the bottom, and a large outlet pipe i<1> floats in water in an open tank a, provided with an inlet b and an outlet j. The inlet b is closed by a double-beat valve, the two parts of which g<1>, g<2> are of different diameters, and which is held on its seat by bars g<4> extending from the end of a pipe h, which supports the ball i and leads into it. The pipe h is provided with a steep screw-thread which screws into a similar thread on the interior of the valve casing e. When the ball sinks through water entering from the tank, the valve is opened, and water of condensation flows through the inlet b, a sediment chamber c, gauze d, the valve, the ball, and the outlet i<1> into the tank. When steam enters, the ball rises and closes the valve.

Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 529. Ogden, J. E. L. Jan. 8. [Cognate Application, 3148/09.] Lift valves; actuating valves; seats.-A valve g in a steam-trap is provided with two seatings, of which one e is moved away from the valve by the contraction of a tube d, thereby allowing the pressure of water in the tube d to act over the whole surface of the valve g and force it from a stationary seat f. The movable seat e, Fig. 1, slides in a fixed sleeve f forming the stationary seat. The valve, which may be flat, conical, or grooved, is held by a spring h supported by a screwed cap m or by steam pressure acting on a diaphragm or piston r, Fig. 3. In the form shown in Fig. 3, a pipe t connects the steam-pipe with the space above a piston r connected by a spring h with the valve. A rod s enables the valve to be blown through. A layer of liquid may lie above the piston to prevent the piston being subjected to great temperature variations. In another modification no spring is used, and the balancing-piston is fixed to the lower end of the rod u, the valve g being carried at the upper end. According to the first Provisional Specification a hollow valve may be balanced by steam pressure acting on a flexible sleeve fixed to the valve by a wedge-shaped ring; and to neutralize excessive expansion the tube d may be in contact with the framework. Specifications 286/04 and 23,829/05, [Class 64, Heating], are referred to.

Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 4315. Smith & Sons Wagon Co., and Smith, G. H. Feb. 22. Tipping carts and wagons.-The body of a cart, wagon, truck, or other vehicle is tipped by means of a bell-crank lever, the movement being started by one arm of the lever and continued at a quicker rate by the other arm, which is preferably the longer. Two pairs of arms 3, 4 are mounted on the ends of a shaft 5, which carries a worm-wheel 6 adapted to be turned by a worm shaft 9 and a detachable handle 8. The arms 4 are connected to the body, which is hinged to the underframe at 2, by links 10; and the arms 3 are provided with rollers 13 for engaging the lower edges of plates 14 secured to the body. Tipping is started by the rollers 13 pressing against the plates 14, the links 10 being slotted at 15 to allow for the unequal vertical movement of the ends of the arms 3, 4, but as the movement continues, the thrust is taken by the link 10 and the arm 4 which complete the tipping at a quicker rate. The ends of the arms 3, 4 of each bell-crank are connected by a link 12. According to the Provisional Specification, the end of the short arm 3 works in a slotted link pivoted to the body, and bears initially against the upper end of the slot.
