Patent GB-190523561-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electricity Motor-meters
Inventor: HOOKHAM GEORGE
Filed: 1905-11-16
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 23,561. Hookham, G. Nov. 16. Quantity meters. - A mercury motor meter is provided with a single driving and braking magnet, having pole surfaces in close proximity to the armature and amalgamated and insulated metal plates or caps upon them. The speed of the armature is thus reduced and a correction for fluid friction is rendered unnecessary. The pole-pieces e, f are attached to the poles of a magnet of the form shown in Fig. 1, and the pole surfaces project beyond the inner surfaces of the ebonite blocks l, m. The pole surfaces may be formed on wrought-iron screws g, Fig. 3, for purposes of adjustment. The pole tips may be reduced as shown to increase the braking effect. A thin iron cap q is separated from the pole by insulating-material, and is amalgamated preferably after depositing copper upon it. The range of the meter may be increased by providing a correcting-coil t, Fig. 1, wound upon an iron core partially bridging the pole-pieces or projecting from one of them. Temperature errors may be compensated by means of a platinoid shunt and an iron wire series resistance, as described in Specification No. 3237, A.D. 1900. Reference is also made to Specification No. 4064, A.D. 1891. The mercury chamber is completed by a band o of india-rubber, leather, or other flexible material, on which a metal band p is clamped. The Provisional Specification describes an arrangement in which the poles are divided into separate braking and driving portions, the former having greater clearance, and in which the pole surfaces themselves may be amalgamated.

Abstract: 613. Maisongrande, E. Jan. 9. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to lamp attachments in which the lamps are automatically set in the direction of travel by flexible cables 19 connected to the axle supports of the front wheel as described in Specification No. 14,182, A.D. 1905, and consists in varying the angle of direction of the lamp by changing the point of attachment of the cable to the cross-bar 28, and in simplifying the mode of attachment of the extremities of the cables. The cross-bar 28 is pierced with two series of holes 29, 29<a>. The ends of each cable are secured to rings 30 by means of nuts screwing on a conical split socket. One of these rings is attached freely under the head of a pin or bolt fixed by a suitable nut into one of the holes 29, 29<a>. The ends of the outer flexible covering are connected to sockets 16, of which one is secured to a fixed bracket 15 and the other to the attachment shackle of the springs.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Dyeing Bobbins and the like.
Inventor: WANSLEBEN CONRAD
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 3194. Wansleben, C., and Wansleben, R., [trading as Wansleben, Geb.]. March 1, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyeing cops and the like is effected with a machine in which they are carried on an endless band which is provided with hollow members to receive the spindles and runs above a suction chamber for the dyeliqnor and, immediately on leaving the dye bath, above a second suction chamber for dry air. The cops c<1>, carried by suitable hollow members, such as nipples n attached to the band b, travels through a dye beck a over a bottom chamber h provided with longitudinal slots which register with the nipples n. A suction pump draws the liquor through the cops to the chamber h, returning it to the beck a. A workman sets the cops on at one end A, and the band b slowly passes them through the liquor, being driven and guided by sprocket-wheels which gear with chains furnished at its sides. Shortly after leaving the liquor, the band b drags over another slotted surface d of a second suction chamber c, and here the liquor is sucked out of the cops. As soon as the cops reach the end of the slot, the suction ceases and a second workman at the other end B of the machine removes them and their spindles from the nipples n.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Incandescence Bodies for Electric Lamps from Tungsten Compounds.
Filed: 1906-05-16
Granted: 1907-04-04
Abstract: 11,409. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 16. Incandescent lamps. - Tungsten filaments are prepared from nitrogen compounds of the metal, which decompose on heating. Threads squirted from a mixture of such compounds with a carbonaceous agglutinant, such as glucose, are heated, e.g. in a resistance furnace, to 200-300‹ C. to render them conductive and to carbonize the agglutinant. The filaments produced, which may be mounted on stems by means of the same mixture, are then sealed in globes, which may be the lamp bulbs, and are quickly raised to red heat by passage of current. This decomposes the tungsten compounds and leaves tungsten filaments containing carbon. These may be flashed in a mixture of hydrogen and the vapour of tungsten oxychlorides. The residual carbon may also be removed by admitting a little air or oxygen to oxidize the surface of the filaments while they are run at a low red beat, and then raising them to white heat in a vacuum, when the carbon reduces the oxidized surface. The filaments may be finished by heating them almost to melting-point by a current. The nitrogen compounds employed preferably do not contain oxygen, and may be obtained by treating any of the oxides, the metal, or its chloride or oxychlorides, with ammonia. Tungsten nitridamide, for example, is obtained as a blacK powder by passing ammonia over tungsten hexachloride at a red heat. Tungsten trioxide, from which the compounds employed are obtained, is prepared pure from the commercial variety.

Abstract: 26,659. Schar, F. Nov. 23. Making chains. - Chains are calibrated for finishing to size by feeding them hot, link by link, between sets of dies a, b arranged vertically and horizontally. The dies b are pivoted about pins c, and the dies first approach to enclose the link and are then closed by means of a lever operated slide g, the closed position being shown in Fig. 6. The links are thus compressed into the requisite size. When the links require to be lengthened, dies i, k, n, Fig. 12, are employed, the dies i, k first surrounding the link and the die n being then lowered to flatten out the link. The chains are fed through, a guide f by suitable means such as a hook d.
