Patent GB-190510629-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved System or Apparatus for Automatically Releasing Electric Telegraphs.
Inventor: DUCRETET EUGENE
Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 10,629. Ducretet, E. May 22. Telegraphs.-Relates to means for automatically releasing and stopping the paper-feed mechanism of telegraph receivers by a line current at the beginning and end of a message. In the Morse receiver shown in Fig. 2, the armature of the electro-magnet E is pivoted at X and carries a stop d, which, when the armature is attracted, raises two catches l, l<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, adapted to engage the toothed portions 1, 2 of the ratchet-wheel R. The catch l normally retains the wheel R, but when raised allows it to turn under the influence of the weight P, until the stop A releases the pin g of the wheel movement V. The catch l<1> engages the jointed lever L, terminating in an inclined plane, on which acts a cam C rotated by the wheel movement V. When current no longer flows through the electromagnet E, the cam C acts on the lever L and causes the catch l<1> to return the ratchet-wheel R and stop A to the normal position. The axis of the pin g has a spring brake f to avoid a sudden stop of the wheel movement. The automatic mechanism is mounted on a plate, and be thrown out of action by the lever shown projecting through the upper part of the casing.

Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 11,505. Jonsson, C. P. J., and Janson, E. C. June 1. Sale apparatus ; delivery mechanism. -The articles are carried by a turntable 18, divided into radial compartments, and are obtained on e by one by freeing a hinged door 1 in the circular casing. The door is closed again by turning the turntable to bring the next article behind it. For these actions, the door 1, having two short arms 4, is linked to a nearly vertical lever 7 by a bow-like cross-head 5. After prepayment, a spring 11, pressing on the lever 7, throws it past the dead-centre, so that the door falls open, while rollers on the turntable re-set the lever by wiping against the cross-head. Coin action.-When the door 1 is closed, a pawl 8 on the lever 7 and a gravity detent 10 below are engaged with opposite ends of an intermediate lever 9 which has a spring tail 14 by which it is pulled to the vertical position by a pin 15 on the pawl 8. The coin 12 disengages the detent 10, leaving the levers to the action of the throwing-spring 11.

Title: An Improved Process for Making Emulsions of Mercury or other Conducting Substances, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: LEDERER EMIL
Filed: 1905-09-13
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 18,513. Lederer, E. Sept. 13. Emulsions, m a k i n g.- Emulsions of metals, such as mercury, or of other conducting - substances, such as oxides, sulphides, &c., for use as metallic soaps and salves and for other purposes, are produced by electric disintegration in media, such as vaseline, paraffin, tallow, lanolin, coco-nut oil, palm oil, &c., which set on completion of the process. The disintegration may be produced either by a make-and-break contact, operated by the current, or by Hertzian waves. According to the former process, a wire-bush 4, Fig. 1, of iron, copper, silver, &c., according to the metal being disintegrated, is attached by a non-magnetic metal bar 3 to the spring-mounted core 2 of an electro-magnet 1 and rests on an electrode plate 5. The current passes through the electro-magnet and the brush, and the sparking produced disintegrates the cathode. Several devices of this kind may be arranged on a frame, with resistances, such as incandescent lamps, and an ammeter, and the brush 4 may be attached to a spring-controlled armature or to a pivoted rod attached to a horizontal core. For disintegration by Hertzian waves, the secondary circuit of an induction coil 16, Fig. 7, of which the primary circuit is fed by an alternating current, contains a capacity 17 and sparking-apparatus 18, a spark-gap 19 being arranged in parallel.

Filed: 1905-09-25
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 19,366. Schauer, P. Sept. 25. Vacuum cleaning-apparatus.-The apparatus is operated by a water-jet pump in combination with a closed air chamber and a valve. A jet suction device b is screwed to a water tap and is connected by a pipe c provided with a cock d to a closed vessel f. This vessel is connected by a pipe with the valve i and nozzle h. The valve i being closed and the valve d opened, the air is partly exhausted from the vessel f. When the pressure within this vessel is low enough, the valve i is opened and the dust-laden air drawn through the nozzle, pipes, and vesself and mixes with and is conveyed away by the water jet. Or the valve d may be closed and the vessel disconnected from the tap so that the apparatus may be removed and used anywhere, the air and dust being drawn into the vessel f on opening the valve i. If a long suction pipe is used, of considerable capacity, the vessel f may be dispensed with. The cock d may also be dispensed with. The air nozzle h and the suction pipe may be disposed side by side and connected by a pipe.
