Patent GB-190504721-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Self-acting Boiler-feeders.
Inventor: BERGMANN CONSTANTIN VON
Filed: 1905-03-07
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 4721. Bergmann, C. von. March 7. Feed-water, supplying.-Relates to modifications in the " Cohnfeld " system of gravityfeed apparatus. Fig. 1 shows a form of apparatus for use with boilers working at a pressure of not more than 4 to 6 atmospheres. The pipes a, b, connected to the upper and lower ends respectively of the lower reservoir A, a r e of comparatively large diameter and both enter the lower end of the upper reservoir B. In this way, the steam is quickly condensed even though the water may be very warm. The upper edge c of the bend in the pipe a should not be lower than the broad part of the reservoir A. A non-return valve d in the upper end of the pipe a ensures an even working in the apparatus. The air which is released during the heating of the water in the reservoir B is allowed to escape at intervals by the device shown in Fig. 3. This consists of an inwardly-opening valve 15 connected to a float 14. During the discharge to the boiler, the float falls and allows the air to escape. A loose valve 10 prevents the entrance of air during the suction and condensation periods of the apparatus. The non-return valves d, g consist of thin metal disks, guided by bolts 4, Fig. 2; stops 5 limit the movement of the valve. A float, consisting of a thin disk of wood, may be placed in the reservoir A to prevent undue condensation of the steam when it first enters. In a modification, for use with boilers working under high pressure, the pipe f, leading from the boiler, has a pivoted extension 20, Fig. 4, in the upper part of the reservoir A. When the apparatus is full of water, a float Q keeps the outlet end of the extension 20 in the upper part of the reservoir. When, however, the discharge to the boiler takes place, the float falls, allowing the extension 20 to descend into the horizontal position so that the steam can pass directly to the reservoir B, where it is completely condensed. For large boilers, the arrangement shown in Fig. 6 is employed. A Bourdon tube z connected to an air reservoir C shuts off the steam from the boiler after each discharge. The reservoir C is connected by a thin pipe v with the reservoir B, and by another thin pipe t with the boiler connexion e below the valve g.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Electro-plating of Metals.
Inventor: SCHIELE JOSEPHA
Filed: 1905-05-13
Granted: 1906-06-13
Abstract: 10,120. Schiele, J. May 13. Metals, pickling by; metals, depositing.-Surfaces of iron, steel, cast iron, and other metals or alloys are coated with an adhering layer of another metal by the following process. The articles are first submitted as anode to electrolytic cleaning in an aqueous mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids, a current of high density, and carbon cathodes of at least four times the anode area, being employed. After the mechanical removal of impurities from the cleaned and porous surface, a preliminary deposit of metal is applied in a bath which has a high density owing to the presence of salts, such as sodium chloride &c., inert or undecomposable under the conditions employed. The bath contains little or no salt of the metal to be deposited, in the latter case a soluble anode being employed. A current of high density is employed, and the anode surface is much larger than that of the cathode. When a thin layer has been deposited, the final coating is plated on in the usual way.

Abstract: 13,249. Tonks, W. H. June 8. Emergency - exit fastenings.- Relates to the Relates to the fastenings described in Specification No. 6917, A.D. 1905, and to means for effecting the automatic locking of the bolts in their shot position. The bolts are withdrawn by means of teeth a<3> on the cruciform stem a<1>, a' of the push-bar knob a, and are assisted in this by plate springs d secured to the vertical web a'. When the bolts are allowed to reshoot, the springs d ensure the teeth a<3> being carried into a position to block the levers e, as shown, so that the bolts cannot be operated from outside. Spring-pressed pins operating in engagement with the horizontal web a<2> of the knob stem, or spring levers, may be employed in place of the plate springs. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the teeth a<3> are replaced by short links i which are normally caused to lie obliquely by means of the spring devices already described, or by having the top bolt made heavier, to prevent the operation of the bolts except by pressure on the knob.

Wire and rod compensators.-An automatic wire compensator inserted at a point midway between the operating-lever and the apparatus to be operated, such as semaphore signals, switch points, or detonator apparatus consists principally of two counterweighted T-levers so pivoted that their counterweights work the apparatus in both directions. Fig. 1 shows the invention as applied to the detonator apparatus described in Specification No. 11,647, A.D. 1904. The hand-lever 5 is in the form of a T-lever to the ends of which the wires 7, 8 are connected. The wire 7 is connected to the upper end 1<a> of the T-lever 1 the other end of which is joined by the wire 7<a> to a rack 14. The wire 8 is connected to the lower end 2<a> of a second T-lever, and the wire 8<a> joins this lever to the lever 9 connected to the rack 14. Motion of the lever from position A to position C slacks the wire 8, allows the weight 4<a> to fall and pull the wire 8<a>, and, at the same time, the wire 7 is pulled lifts the weight 4 and slackens the wire 7<a>, so that the apparatus is operated by the action of the weight 4<a>.
