Patent GB-190115083-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Cinematographs
Inventor: FEHLING PAUL
Filed: 1901-07-24
Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 15,083. Fehling, P. July 24. Magic-lantern apparatus.-Relates to kinematographic apparatus driven by a spring motor with a special friction arrangement for winding up the exposed film. Figs. 1 and 2 show the vertical sections at right-angles. The film is fed past the spring 10 by the pin drum u, driven intermittently from the driving-shaft k through an eccentric pin and radially-slotted wheel s as usual. The exposed film is collected on a drum 15 which rotates on a pin 8 carried by bearings 7 on depending shafts 1, upon which are mounted friction discs 4 free to move longitudinally and engaging with the end of the drum. The discs 4 are connected by a cross-piece 5, in a projection from which rollers 18 are mounted, which are kept in contact with the film by springs 26. The shafts 1 are driven by spurwheels m, n from the shaft k. As the diameter of the coiled film on the drum 15 increases, therefore, the driving-discs 4 move radially outward, so that the film is wound up at a constant rate. The shutter 24 is driven by spur gearing from the shaft k.

Filed: 1902-09-19
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 20,474. Blaisdell, H. W. Sept. 19. Conveyers ; elevators.-Fig. 4 shows diagrammatically the way in which a main conveying-belt 28 is discharged upon an auxiliary belt 23 at rightangles to it. Figs. 1 and 3 show elevations of the apparatus. The main belt 28 runs upon an upper series of guide-rollers 29 and a lower series 27. The discharging-structure carrying the rollers 33, 35, Fig. 4, is fixed to a travelling bridge 8, Fig. 1, upon which the auxiliary conveyer 23 is also mounted.

Patent GB-190302361-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cash Registers.
Inventor: POCOCK STEPHEN HARRY
Filed: 1903-01-31
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 2361. Pocock, S. H., Russell, A. G., and Barr, A. J. Jan. 31. Receipts, checking and recording.-In the cash register shown in Figs. 1, 6, and 7, the amount indicated by the operated levers or keys pivoted loosely to the horizontal bar 19, connected to the sides 2, 3 of the machine, is registered by the units, tens, and hundreds numeral discs 32, 33, 34, and is indicated on the tables 115. All the operating- keys work in a similar manner. When a hundreds unit key 18, Fig. 6, is depressed, the lifting-rod 100 is lifted, the roller 28, together with the frame 27, is raised by the lip 102 of the rod, a toothed segment on the rock-frame 27 rotates the spurwheel 48 of the numeral disc 34, and the coupler 20 is lifted together with the double rack 76. The rack 76, when lifted to its limit, is thrown over the guide 80 by the spring plunger 82. The wheel 75 is then free to finish a half-revolution by means of the spring-pressed roller 72 ; this allows the adding-device spur-wheels 48 to drop out of contact with the toothed segments by means of the depression in the cam 89 and a pulling- spring secured to the frame 38 and to the bar 4. The arm a of the coupler 20 engages and holds the adding-device frame 38 at normal position. All the numeral discs are brought to zero by the handwheel 43 on the shaft 37 through the medium of dogs in recesses in the numeral discs. The frame 38 rocks on the transferring-shaft 45. The arms 53 pivoted to the transferring -levers 51 engage the ratchet-wheels 49 of the numeral discs to revolve them when the levers 51 are actuated by the arms 47 of the transferring-sleeve 46. The shaft 58 has a spur-wheel 63 and a retaining-cam 64 with diametrically-opposite depressions on its periphery to receive the roller 66 of the lever 67. The spurwheel 63 and its shaft 58 are revolved a halfrevolution by the descent of the key-coupler 20. This revolution is transferred to the shaft 45 by gear-wheels. To indicate the purchase when a key is depressed, the bent slidable rod 101 is raised by the rear end of the key. The bent end 105 of the rod raises the indicator rod 114 by means of levers. In the mechanism for retaining or locking a drawer, shown in Fig. 16, the end of the coupler, when raised, engages with the lip of a bent lever, to which is pivoted the vertical rod 134 which, when raised, releases the lip 137 of the drawer 130.
Patent GB-190309281-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Shackles for Hauling Purposes
Inventor: REES JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-04-24
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 9281. Rees, J. April 24. Shackles. - Relates to a method of securing a shackle-pin in position and preventing it from rising before the coupling is unfastened. The pin P passes through eyes E, E<1> in the shackle A, and, at one end, has a tongue T to pass through a groove a, when in the position shown in dotted lines T<1>. A collar C, cut away as shown, is shrunk or welded on the pin, the ends C', C<2> acting against a stop S<1>, welded to the shackle, when the pin is in the extreme positions. A spring S, screwed, riveted, or welded to the shackle in a groove g enters a recess r in the collar to prevent it from turning when fastened, and the spring is depressed by means of the button b when it is desired to turn the pin to bring the tongue T<1> into line with the slot a. Cheeks d are placed on each side of the spring to support and protect it. A ring is passed through the hole H to facilitate handling the pin.
Patent GB-190311184-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Continuous Reading Range and Azimuth Finders and Predictors
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1903-05-16
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 11,184. Justice, P. M., [Bethlehem Steel Co.]. May 16. Range-finders.-Relates to range-finding apparatus for directing the fire of a battery. A telescope 15 at a station B is kept constantly directed to the distant object or ship C. The angle in azimuth indicated by an arm 12 on a scale 10 is transmitted telephonically to a second station A, at which an arm 29 is kept parallel to the telescope 15 by the constant setting of the transmitted azimuth angle on a scale 80. Simultaneously a second telescope 20 on an arm 28 is kept directed on to the object C. The arms 28, 29 are connected by a travelling joint 31. In this way, a triangle 31, 23, 22 is kept similar to the larger triangle formed by the object C and stations A and B, respectively. To indicate the range, a properly proportioned scale, in the form of a graduated tape 40, is secured by one end at 42 near the pivot 23 and passes round a pulley 41, carried by the pivot 31, to a spring drum, upon which it is wound. To correct the range thus found for the increase or decrease which will accrue during the time of flight of the projectile, a number of fingers 55, corresponding to the number of guns, are mounted above the tape in such a way that they can by a cam be coupled for any given time to the under and travelling run of the tape, to indicate the necessary correction. A correction of the azimuth angle is effected by similar mechanism.

Granted: 1903-10-08
Abstract: 12,278. Burnard, A. May 29. Cooling liquids.-Water from an elevated storage tank a is cooled by passing through a cooler c, and serves as the cooling- agent in the milk cooler or coolers e, or in other apparatus for cooling liquids. It then flows to a tank g, whence it is forced back to the tank a by a pump h. The cooler c is filled with a " freezing-mix- " ture," preferably composed of crushed ice and " freezing-salts," which form a brine employed for keeping storage vessels cool. Stop cocks c', j' serve to drain the cooler c, when not in use.

Abstract: 17,662. Kanty, C. Aug. 14. Butt and flange joints; clip and sleeve joints.- Relates to joints for pipes of ing-ot iron without using welded flanges. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a pipe joint. The pipes have rims a bent up at right-angles to the axis of the pipe. Divided rings b,baving coned outer seating- surfaces, and also a flange b<1> to cover the joint,fit tightly against the surface of the pipe. The joint is made by passing the flange rings c over the rims a, and then screwing up the bolts d. The under surfaces of the flange rings c are coned to fit the surface of the divided rings b, so that the rings 6 press on the pipe more than on the rims a, between which a packing-ring of caoutchouc with imbedded wire gauze or copper is placed.
