Patent GB-190519771-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Telemotor Apparatus.
Inventor: BROWN ANDREW BETTS
Filed: 1905-09-30
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 19,771. Brown, A. B. Sept. 30. Hydraulic transmission of power.-Relates to improvements in the hydraulic transmission apparatus for steering- gear &c. described in Specifications No. 14,456, A.D. 1888, and No. 12,232, A.D. 1898. Instead of the two ends of the transmitting-cylinder being connected, when the piston is in its midposition, by means of a by-pass device, they are connected with valves, which do not communicate with one another, but which control communication between the cylinder ends and the make-up tank. The cylinder is thus of the same diameter throughout and of a smooth bore. Ports at each end of the cylinder communicate with the valvebox D through the pipes B', C<2> and the valves B<3>, C<3>. The valves, which are spring-loaded and do not open under normal pressure in the cylinders, are simultaneously raised from their seats when the apparatus is in its mid-position by a shaft G operated by a cam G<4> on a disk G<5> driven from the indicator mechanism. The valves B<3>, C<3> ordinarily act as relief valves, only opening individually when the pressure on one side of the system is excessive. The valves may also be simultaneously raised by the handle G<2>. Specification No. 17,847, A.D. 1902, is referred to.
Patent GB-190521663-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Ore Separators.
Inventor: ADAMS PHINEAS HAZEN
Filed: 1905-10-24
Granted: 1906-10-24
Abstract: 21,663. Adams, P. H. Oct. 24. Separators for granular bodies.- Relates to separators for ores and similar materials of the type in which the material is fed into the annular space between two conical drums 15, 16, rotating at different speeds, the inner drum 15 being movable longitudinally. The inner drum or deflector 15 is of sufficient length to cover at all times the inlet and discharge apertures 10, 7, which are placed at such distances from the ends of the drum as to allow of this. The material, mixed with water, enters the apparatus through a chamber 8, in which are helical passages terminating at the inlet 10. The discharge openings 7 are formed around the edge of an enlargement 6 in the outer drum, and open into an annular trough 14, into which the material and water are discharged by centrifugal force. The spindle e of the deflector is moved longitudinally in its bearings c by the journal e<1>, which is carried backwards and forwards by a screw k, connected as shown in Fig. 2 to two oppositely rotating pulleys v. The material enters the annular space 11 when the deflector is at the smaller end of the drum, and, as separation proceeds, the space is gradually enlarged, the heavier materials collecting on the surface of the drum 16, and the waste materials being forced through the separator to the discharge. During the time that the deflector is returning to the inlet end of the separator, the supply of ore &c. is stopped, and a current of fresh water is sent through the annular separating space to wash out the separated heavier materials.

Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 25,027. Appleby, W. H., and Le Maitre, J. B. Dec. 2. S t a y s.-Relates to stays for the hoods of motorvehicles, carriages, and the like. The inner sockets S<2>, S<3>, Figs. 3 and 4, of the hood are pivoted at s to outer sockets S, S' mounted upon a pivot P provided with a squared portion which carries an arm A. To the outer end of the arm A is pivoted a lever L provided with a handle H and with a slot l<1> having a recessed end l<2> and engaging with a pin s<1> on the socket S<1>. The hood may be locked in various positions by means of a number of recesses such as l<2> provided along the slot l<1> or by a fly-nut on the pin s<1>. In modifications, the arm A may be dispensed with and the lever L pivoted to the socket S or vehicle frame. An extension at the end of the hood carried by a rod R, Fig. 4, may be provided with a similar device, or with a sleeve F arranged to slide on an extension of the socket S<1> and to be fixed by a screw f<1>. The invention may be applied to the ordinary rule-jointed stays of vehicle hoods, the two parts R<1>, R<2>, Fig. 6, of the stay being hinged at P<1>, and one part being fitted with a slotted quadrant plate r which engages with a pin r<2> on the other part. A stop on the end of the arm R<1> engages with a lug on the attaching plate r<4> and prevents the arms from falling when m the closed position.

Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 24,402. Adamson, J. Nov. 1. Gauges.-The depth of water in a ship's bilge or ballast tank is ascertained by lowering vertically thereinto a graduated celluloid tube into which the water can flow through a non-return valve, so that when the tube is raised again the quantity of water in the tube indicates the depth. The celluloid tube c is mounted, by means of the hollow conical screwed plugs shown, within a framework formed by the upper and lower chambers a', e, to which a metal tube a with longitudinal slot b is screwed. The upper chamber is provided with apertures a<2> for the escape of water and air, while in the lower chamber there is a lift valve e<1> i, the spindle of which is attached to an external sliding casing g normally forced downwards by a spring so as to keep the valve shut. When the apparatus reaches the bottom of the tank, the casing rises, abutting against the flange e<3> and thereby excluding dirt, although the water can still pass to the open valve through small passages in the flange and the space between the casing and the lower chamber.

Abstract: 2586. Soc. Anon. des Etablissements Poulenc frÞres, and Fourneau, E. Feb. 1, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dimethylaminodimethyloxyacetic acid and its ethers and their acidyl derivatives.-The abovementioned acid is prepared by heating chlordimethyloxyacetic acid with dimethylamine in benzene. After drying, and evaporating completely in vacuo, the residue is taken up with absolute alcohol, and the resulting solution is treated with acetone. The acid, which slowly separates out, is dried and recrystallized from a mixture of absolute alcohol and acetone. The ethylic ether of this acid is prepared by saturating its solution in absolute alcohol with gaseous hydrochloric acid. The solution is then heated on the water-bath. The alcohol is distilled off in vacuo, water and sodium bicarbonate are added, and the amino ester is extracted with chloroform or ether. The ester is a mobile liquid. Dimethylaminodimethyloxyacetic ethyl ester is also prepared by beating chlordimethyloxyacetic ethyl ether with dimethylamine in benzene. Or, again, dimethylamioodimethyloxyacetic nitrile is prepared by treating dimethylaminoacetone with absolute alcohol and dry hydrocyanic acid with cooling. After some days the action is complete, On treating the product with absolute alcohol and dry gaseous hydrochloric acid, dimethylaminodimethyloxyacetic ethyl ether is formed. This ether may be saponified with baryta. By mixing benzoylchloride with this ester in benzene, the benzoyl derivative is produced.

Abstract: 11,301. Gaudin, A., and Tellier, E. May 14. Lighting gas.-In a pilot burner, the end of the pilot tube 6 is surrounded by a carburetting- chamber 1 provided with air holes 14 regulable by a sleeve 5. Gas for the mixture is supplied by a small side hole 8. The mixture is ignited by an electric or a catalytic igniter 10, and the ignition is transmitted to the pilot burner 7 and to the small jet 8. The igniter 10 is situated close below the burner 7 and far above the jet 8 so as not to be deteriorated by heat. One pole of the electric igniter is insulated by a bush 31. The device is applicable to upright and inverted incandescent burners, and may be used in connexion with automatic devices for actuating the gas valves. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, the pilot tube 6 is dispensed with, a gaseous mixture from the main burner is supplied to the carburettor by a passage 16, and air is admitted by short tubes 18. When applied to upright burners, this form is placed centrally therein and the tubes 18 project outside. For inverted burners, the device is placed at the side above the level of the burner, and, in the case of the modification shown in Fig. 5, a bellmouthed tube collects the gases and leads them to the passage 16, and a cap is fitted above the chamber 1.
