Title: Improvements in Gearing Trains for Producing Intermittent Motion, applicable to Counting Registers and the like.
Inventor: BEAL ALBERT REYNOLDS
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 19,996. Beal, A. R. Oct. 3. Current meters.-A snap action in a train of gearing is described as applied to a counter in which the uniform motion of a meter spindle is transformed into intermittent motion of the indicating-wheels. The spindle 11, Figs. 2 and 4, rotates uniformly and drives counter-clockwise a wheel 13 fast upon the spindle 14 and carrying a pin 16. Starting from the position of Fig. 4, this piu is inoperative until it reaches the opposite end of a circular slot 17 in a segmental locking-disk 15 co-operating with the geneva-stop wheel upon the next spindle 19 of the train. Meanwhile, a coiled spring attached at one end to the spindle and at the other to a tooth 21 has been wound up, and, directly the geneva wheel is unlocked by the motion of the segmental disk, this tooth forces it forwards and carries the locking-device round through the greater part of a revolution so as to lock the next concave surface of the geneva wheel. The tooth 21 is loose on the spindle and has preferably two shanks, one on each side of the locking- disk. The remaining wheels of the train have, as shown in Fig. 2, a number of teeth co-operating in each transfer step. The train may be applied to meter registers, voting-apparatus, and counting- apparatus generally.

Title: Improved Means for the Purification of Water.
Inventor: WILSON JAMES
Filed: 1907-03-14
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 6220. Wilson, J. March 14. Water, purifying; filters, cleansing.-Water is supplied by a pipe 12 to a tank 1, the bottom of which is divided into compartments by low partitions 2. Each compartment has two outlets 3, the ratio of which can be be varied but is the same in the several compartments. The main part of the water is thus passed by the trough 4 and pipe 5 to a mixing-tank 6, while a regulated proportion is led to the mixing-tank through a trough 8, a lime tower 10, and pipe 11. The tank 1 may be provide 1 with a third series of outlets, from which a part of the water is deliverad through vertical tubes 16 to a vessel 17, Fig. 6, containing alumino-ferric or other reagent. The strength of solution can be regulated by adjusting the height of the tubes 16 and of a flexible discharge pipe 19. When only a very small quantity of water is required for the reagent, the water parsing through the third series of outlets may be passed into a pivoted scoop 20, Fig. 7, delivering against a partition 22. The water from one side of the partition is returned to the main body of water in the pipe 5 or to the mixing-tank. The treated water passes from the settling-tank 25 through the pipe 26 and upward through the filter 27. When the filter is clogged, water overflows from the tank 25 through the pipe 29 to a receptacle 30 at one end of a counterbalanced lever connected to a valve 32 at the bottom of the filter. The receptacle in moving downwards, opens the valve 32 and by means of a chain 33 closes a valve 35 on the pipe 26. A backward cleansing-flow through the filter follows, the overflow from the settling tank passing through an aperture 36 to the space above the filter. The receptacle 30 is emptied by a siphon.

Title: Improvements in Means for Preventing Inductive Disturbances in Telephone, Telegraph and other Electrical Circuits
Inventor: SCOTT CHARLES FELTON
Filed: 1907-06-26
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 14,752. Scott, C. F. July 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs; telephone systems. - Relates to systems for neutralizing by means of transformers the inductive disturbances produced in a telephone, telegraph, or other line by an alternating-current power system or other neighbouring circuit. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show an earthed telephone line 5, protected in this way from the disturbing effect of a railway system having an elevated trolly wire 1 and earthed rails 2 for a return conductor. (1) Each transformer is provided, as shown in Fig. 1, with a main primary winding 8 in series with the trolly wire 1 and with a subsidiary primary winding 9 in series with the rails 2, the winding 9 being wound in opposition to the winding 8 to correct for changes in the distribution of the return power currents through the earth and in the rails 2. (2) When a transformer has a single primary winding and a number of secondary windings for neutralizing disturbances in a number of circuits, mutual induction between the secondaries is prevented by winding each on a separate branch of the transformer, as shown in Fig. 2, or on separate cores having a common primary. (3) The windings in the protected and disturbing circuits may be on separate transformers connected by intermediate windings, as shown in Fig. 3, the intermediate windings being earthed ; this arrangement obviates the dangerous effects of a breakdown in the transformer insulation. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 states also that the effect of two or more disturbing circuits may be compensated by transformers having several primary windings, and that the invention is applicable to the Van Rysselberghe system of combined telephonic and telegraphic transmission in which the outward and return wires of the telephone circuit act as one of the lines of the telegraph circuit. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1908-08-24
Abstract: 16,782. Reck, A. B. July 22. Heating buildings; heating water; thermostats. -In steam water-heaters used in connexion with hot - water circulating systems, and specially adapted to be heated by low-pressure steam, a bypass, closed automatically or by hand, is arranged to direct a portion of the heated water from the pressure to the suction side of the heater, thus preheating the inflowing water and enabling the heater to work k noiselessly. Specifications No. 454, A.D. 1871, [Abridgment Class Injectors &c.], No. 14,474, A.D. 1899, No. 21,406, A.D. 1903, No. 3797, A.D. 1904, and No. 2045, A.D. 1905, are referred to. Steam is passed through a pipe D into a heating-chamber H, whence the mixed steam and water pass by a rising pipe M to a tank E. The heated water passes by a pipe N to radiators &c. V, and thence back to the heating-chamber H by a pipe S. The by-pass R connects two points on the main circuit, between which are included the heating chamber H and the circulating-device consisting of the rising pipe M or a pump. To cut out the by-pass when the inflowing water attains a sufficiently high temperature, a chamber l containing a volatile liquid is fitted in the inlet pipe, and closes a valve X in the by - pass by means of a movable diaphragm d' operating a lever b<1> ; or the pressure of the steam in the tank E may actuate a similar diaphragm. Steam escaping from the tank E may be used to heat the cold water, by passing through a condenser arranged round the inlet pipe, or by being directly passed into the cold water. According to the Provisional Specification, the steam may act with injector action.
