Title: Improvements in Siphons for Dispensing Liquids.
Inventor: KLEINFELDT ARTHUR
Filed: 1909-09-27
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 22,020. Kleinfeldt, A. Nov. 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Siphon bottles.-Relates to a siphon head comprising a compressed-gas reservoir and means for admitting gas to the interior of the bottle' during the discharge of the liquid contents. The gas valve consists of a flexible diaphragm m held against the gas pressure by a piston p operated to raise the piston and allow passage of the gas by a lever r and finger-lever j, simultaneously with the operation of the siphon outlet valve t. The gas valve is adjusted by a projecting screw r<1>. The gas passes by passages l<1>, l<2> into the bottle. A spring flap valve k<4>, normally open is fitted over the end of the passage l<1>, and is partly closed by the pressure of the gas when excessive flow from the reservoir takes place. The discharge tube h is connected with the discharge passage in the siphon head by a telescopic connexion consisting of a sliding sleeve h<2> and a rubber sleeve h<3>, and is fitted with a foot-piece having projections which rest on the bottom of the vessel. The gascontainer, the siphon head, and the sleeve on the bottle neck are connected by a cord b<9> passing through eyes to prevent unauthorized detachment. The siphon discharge valve t may be opened, without opening the gas valve, by inserting a fork-shaped appliance beneath projections t<2> on the valve plunger.

Abstract: 5659. Hollings, T. E. March 7. Targets. -Relates to means for causing disappearing or moving targets to appear or move at irregular intervals. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, targets 1 ... 8 are connected by link-work suspended from two fixed pivots 10, 11, and receive a compound vertical and horizontal motion from levers u, s, x and cams w, y, which are driven by a motor z<3>, worm gearing z, and an endless chain 30 at different speeds so as to produce a variable movement of the targets, which appear at irregular intervals at windows, or apertures in a screen. Springs h<1>, s<2>, w<3> keep rollers on the cam levers bearing against the cams. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the two central front targets 34a, 35a are carried by vertical levers 38, 39 rocked by a cam w, while the outer front targets are similarly mounted and rocked by a cam y and levers 31<a>, 32<a>. The rear targets are operated similarly to, and independently of, the front targets, by cams on the shaft y3. The targets are pivoted to the vertical levers so as to fall back when struck, and are returned to an upright position by cords 45 operated by a crank pin 47 and levers. Fig. 6 shows an electric contact-making device for use with the figure targets shown in Fig. 2. When a shot passes through the mouth of the target a, it strikes a bell-crank lever 41 carrying a segmental contact piece 42, which slides between the prongs of bifurcated spring terminals 43.

Title: Machinery for Printing Plans from Colloidal Films.
Inventor: HALL BENJAMIN JAMES
IPC: G03B27/06
Filed: 1911-04-19
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 9497. Hall, B. J. April 19. Copying documents; rotary machines.-In a machine for reproducing plans, drawings, manuscripts, &c. from a gelatine or other colloid film, the gelatine film is carried on an endless band or bands 5 of india-rubber or linoleum passing around rollers 6, 7 on a frame 1 centrally pivoted on trunnions 2. The roller 7 is rotated to drive the band by an electric motor 8. To coat the band 5, the frame 1 is turned on its trunnions until the roller 6 dips into a trough 4 containing a gelatine solution, and the motor 8 started. The frame 1 is then returned to the horizontal position, and when the film is dry, the document, prepared in the usual way in an ink adapted to cause the parts of the film with which it contacts to take up printer's ink, is passed between the band and a pressure roll 10. The part of the film bearing the impression is then advanced over the adjustable table 14, and an inking-roller is passed over the impression. The band is again fed forward until the impression is about to pass around the roll 7, when a sheet of paper is fed between the rollers 7, 10. When the required number of impressions have been printed off, a scraper is advanced against the endless band 5 and the film peeled off. Instead of being mounted on a swinging frame 1, the band 5 may be provided with a third roller for depressing the band into the trough 4. Automatic inking-apparatus may be provided. For use in warm temperatures, cooling-means such as cold water, or ice chambers, may be provided below the band. The Provisional Specification also states that the roller 7 can be driven by a chain from a wheel on the trunnion 2.

Explosions, minimizing in mines; sprinklers, automatic.-Relates to apparatus for arresting explosions in mines, of the kind in which a liquid shower or screen is produced by the action of the blast of the explosion upon pivoted flaps or doors, which are adapted to open a valve to admit the liquid to a spraying-device The flaps s, Fig. 4, are mounted in recesses in the gallery or air-way, and may be provided with wings s<1>, which are adapted to turn so as to close the passage-way, as shown in dotted lines. One of the wings s<1> is connected by a wire to a bolt adapted to be withdrawn from a sliding rod, which then drops into a mercury cup and closes the circuit of a solenoid. The core h, Fig. 2, of the solenoid is connected by a lever i to a stop k, which is turned to free the stem l of a valve m, thus allowing a spring n to open the valve. The water escapes through an annular or like system of pipes adapted to discharge sheets of water forming the sides of one or more cones or pyramids directed towards the side on which the explosion may occur. In a modification, the hinged flap is arranged to lower a rod into mercury contained in a U-tube, thus closing the circuit of the solenoid.
