Patent GB-190408426-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Ovens or Stoves.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1904-04-12
Granted: 1905-04-12
Abstract: 8426. Boult, A. J., [Soc. Italiana dei Forni] April 12. Oven furnaces; air supply, heating.-In an oven for baking and other purposes, superposed baking- chambers b contain frames c which are traversed across the chambers by chains and pinions h. Trays d are provided at the corners with balls which roll in guides on the frames. The trays are successively brought in front of the doors and removed on to trestles, for removing and inserting bread &c. Hot gases from a furnace a pass along flues l beneath the lower chamber, flues n, p between the chambers, flues r, s above the upper chamber, along a second set of flues u in the upper part, and thence by downward flues in the front and back to a chimney y. The air supply for the furnace is heated by passage through flues in the structure. Air drawn in at openings 1 passes by flues 2, 3 to flues 5, 6 between the heated flues in the upper part, and returns by flues 8, 9 to the furnace. The flues, along which the air passes, contain steel shavings or iron wire to retain the heat. The furnace flues are provided with doors for cleaning purposes.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Stropping Razors, Knives and the like.
Inventor: TIMINGS SAMUEL
Filed: 1904-04-23
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 9342. Timings, S. April 23. Sharpening.-Relates to stropping-apparatus for razors, knives, &c. A shaft 1 mounted in a frame 4 carries a loop of soft leather 7 and can be rocked or rotated by a handle 6. The razor is inserted through a hole 11 in the frame and held in a pair of clipping-jaws 9, 10 pivoted at 12 to the base of the frame. As the shaft is rocked, the leather flap or wing passes along the side of the razor and eventually passes the edge, the razor being then sprung back into an upright position by springs 14,15. On returning, the leather flap or wing passes along the other side of the razor, thus stropping it. If desired, the handle can be given a certain number of rotations in one direction and then an equal number in the opposite direction so as to strop the razor evenly. A modification is described in which there are two shafts 1, 1*, Fig. 4, connected by gearing to rotate in opposite directions. The razor holder is in this case not pivoted, but adapted to give a little under pressure. As the handle 6 is rotated, first the flap 7 on the shaft 1 wipes across one side of the razor and then the flap 7 on the shaft 1* wipes across the other side. The Provisional Specification states that the shaft may be arranged to be stationary and the razor-holder to be rocked or rotated.

Granted: 1905-04-27
Abstract: 11,951. Blackmore, T. June 11. Bending ; wire.- In apparatus for coiling wire, adjustable pitchblocks 8, 9 mounted in a slot 18 on a base-plate 10 are placed immediately after the giraffe 6 to make all the wires forming the coil of exactly the same pitch, so that they may be woven into a wire fabric as one wire. On the same base-plate, a block 11 with a straight face inclined towards the base is adjustably mounted. The pitch-blocks 8, 9 are preferably of circular section and are fixed in position by set-screws, their noses 22 being brought to V-shaped ends which bear against any particular wire of the coil. For coils with a large number of wires, more than two pitch-blocks may be used.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Treating Sewage and other Fluids.
Inventor: SCHWEITZER WILLIAM JACOB
Filed: 1904-06-21
Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 14,003. Schweitzer, W. J. June 21. Sewage and foul waters, treating; electrolysing; precipitating; aÙrating; straining; scum, removing.-Sewage &c. enters the tank B, Fig. 1, by the pipe A and strikes against the bafflewall C. Semi-solids are broken up as they pass through the screen D into the settling- chamber E, where sand, silt, &c. are precipitated. The liquid is sterilized by electrolysis in the vessel F, which contains electrodes G, H connected to the terminals of a generator. The electrode plates are in the form of a comb with teeth of trapezoidal cross-section, the shorter sides facing in the direction from which sewage is flowing. Each plate has its teeth in staggered relation to those on the consecutive plates. Salt may be added to the sewage to increase the amount of chlorine formed by electrolysis. The electric treatment brings grease and fatty matters to the surface, and these are removed by a skimmer J, Fig. 8, as the sewage passes out over the weir R. The skimmer consists of a metal receptacle provided with a lip K, which is supported just below the sewage level by the air chamber L. It tapers in the direction of flow to a pipe 0, connected by a trough P<1> to a tank Q, in which the greasy matters are collected. The skimmer is supported by a rod h connected at each end to upright rods i, and can be raised or lowered by means of hand-wheels j. The sewage then flows into tanks S, U, W, separated by weirs, which are arranged so that the outflow shall be slow enough to allow of precipitation. The tank W is connected to a settling - chamber X, provided with perforated air-supply pipes Y, and with pipes Z for introducing solution of lime or other precipitant. From the chamber X, the effluent is passed off through a filter a or a filter bed.

Abstract: 21,731. Gerlach, J., and Quaedolieg, V. Oct. 10. Hides and skins, raw, treating.-In a machine for unhairing hides and skins, the knives, arranged in longitudinal rows on the tool cylinder, are secured so as to be capable of yielding resiliently in tangential and radial directions. Intervals are left between the knives in each row, the intervals in one row being opposite the knives of adjacent rows. In the form shown in section in Fig. 3, angle-irons 3, secured to collars 2 on the cylinder, carry plate or blade springs 4 having blunt edges and rounded corners. Preferably, as shown in Fig. 4, the knives are secured by screws 16 to the free ends 14 of spring arms 12 fixed tangentially on the drum 13. The inner edge of the end 14 has a dovetail rib engaging a slide block 21 which is pivoted to a rod 20 guided in a socket 19 in the cylinder 1. A spring 18 mounted on the rod 20, between a collar 23 and the drum, provides a resilient radial support for the knife. In both forms, the knives are set back a little from the radial line of the cylinder so as not to engage the surface of the hide normally.
