Title: Improvements in Coin Freed Water Delivering Apparatus.
Inventor: HEARSON CHARLES EDWARD
Filed: 1907-07-08
Granted: 1908-07-08
Abstract: 15,662. Hearson, C. E. July 8. Measured quantities, delivering.-The apparatus is adapted to supply a measured quantity of water after prepayment, but the supply can be cut off, if required, before the full amount is delivered. A lever 40 is tilted by prepayment to remove a pin 39 from a notch 38 in a sector 34, which is carried by a cock 32, permitting a spring 55 to force down a link 35 and turn the sector and cock to put a passage 33 into communication with passages 26,28. Water then flows from the main supply by a pipe 3 into the lower part of a chamber 4 and thence by passages 26, 33, 28, 29 into the upper part of the chamber, forcing open a valve 6 and passing to the purchaser by an exit pipe 10. The duration of the supply is determined as follows. Simultaneously, liquid also passes from the chamber 4 through a perforated partition 23, port 22 in a flap valve 21, and passeges 17, 18, 19, into the lower part of a second chamber 43 below a piston 46. The pressure of the water raises the piston and with it an arm 53 working in slots 44 and having an extension 53<1> working on rods 35, 58 and between springs 54, 55 which embrace the rod 35. The upward movement of the piston continues until the extension 53', by engaging a projection on the rod 58, the latter being connected to the lever 40, lifts the pin 39 from a second notch 37 in the sector, permitting the spring 55 to return the sector and cock and put the port 33 in communication with the passages 27, 28, cutting off the supply from the chamber 4. The piston then descends, the valve 21 opening and the water in the chamber 43 passing to the purchaser by the passages 29, 28, 33, 27 and pipe 10. The operator can reverse the sector and cock before the piston has reached its highest position, by raising a rod 50 attached to the piston. The diaphragm 23 prevents entry'of foreign matter to the passage 18, and an adjustable screw 20 enables the passage 19 to be more or less constricted. A hollow indiarubber sphere 14 is provided in the valve stem 8 to prevent rupture by frost.

Patent GB-190802061-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Locking and Releasing Railway or Tramway Point or Signal Levers, or the Operating Connections of Points or Signals, by Train Tablet, Train Staff or its equivalent.
Filed: 1908-01-29
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 2061. Brettell, J. O., and McKenzie & Holland. Jan. 29. Controlling traffic on railways, staff and ticket systems for.-A locking-bolt on a hand-lever is operated positively without springs or counterweights in both directions by means of a lock into which a staff or tablet is inserted and serves to connect the lock handle operatively with a cam which actuates the catch-bolt. The lock is an improvement on that described in Specification No. 1795, A.D. 1898. The tablet is locked up in the lock while the catchbolt is lifted and the lever is moved from its normal position. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the tablet is dropped into a pocket 18 through a slot in the casing 1<a>, the pocket being pulled forward by a handle 20 against the pressure of a spring 19. A cavity on the edge of the tablet engages a tooth or projection 23 in the pocket, and a projection 8 of the same size and shape as a slot in the tablet is provided on a cam 5. By these means, when the proper tablet is inserted and the pocket 18 is moved back by means of the spring 19, the cam 5 may be turned by the handle 20. The cam 5 moves in a slot 4 in the catch-bolt 3 and lifts it, thus causing the end 27<a> of a projection 27 to prevent forward movement of the pocket 18. A projection 9 on the cam 5 moves in a slot in a lock-piece 10 pivoted to the back portion of the lock, the slot being suitably shaped to hold the cam 5 against accidental displacement by shaking &c. The lock-piece 10 is positively replaced by an arm 14 acting on the lower edge of a slot 13 in the plate 10. The lock is divided into two chambers by means of a plate 30 pierced to allow the projections 8, 14 to pass through. In a modification, a hinged door, which can only be opened when the lever is in its normal position, the lever being locked when the door is open, is used in place of the sliding pocket. In another modification, a holder for a staff is included.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Quebracho Extract.
Inventor: REDLICH ALBERT
Filed: 1908-02-26
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 4358. Redlich, A., and Pollak, L. Feb. 26. Tannins and tannic liquors.-Quebracho liquors are clarified and the phlobaphenes, or slightly soluble tanning-substances, which they contain are rendered soluble by treatment with 'small proportions of alkali, such as potash or soda. The mud is separated from the liquid obtained by the ordinary hot extraction, and is heated and stirred for several hours with a small proportion of alkali until it forms a liquid which has a pure red colour when cool. A portion of this liquid is then added to the previously separated liquid and the resulting flaky deposit is separated for treatment with alkali as above. The clear liquid may be concentrated and is a pure quebracho extract which gives a clear solution in cold water. The balance of the red liquid is treated with tanning-materials of high acidity, such as sumach or other easily soluble leaves or bark, whereby the phlobaphenes contained in the mud are converted into a form easily soluble in cold water. Acetic or other acid may be added to the bark &c. if this be deficient in acid. During this treatment of the red solution, a deposit is formed consisting of insoluble substances which are useless for tanning; these are separated from the treated mud extract and rejected.
