Granted: 1905-08-19
Abstract: 18,037. Peignon, J. Sept. 21, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Fencing.-Faling fencing is made in the machine described. Wire in coils is placed between adjustable hooks of arm supports 2, Fig. 3, arranged in pairs with arms 10 bent to approach one another as shown. The wires pass through guides 12 on the weighted chain 11 supported by the arms 10, and then through a tension-regulator 14 comprising pairs of rollers 16 between which are mounted oscillating pulleys 15. The wires, after passing through the hollow boss of this regulator, pass around pulleys 22, Fig. 11, in a frame 20 and out through orifices 26 in the arms 24, which are retained by springs 25 in the forked arms of the frame. The ends are suitably secured, and a paling 63 is then inserted between the wires in the frame 20. Pushers 38. Fig. 1, actuated by rotation of the wheel 52, force the paling through the jaws 24, which are then held by a grip-device actuated by depressing a treadle. The twisting-frame is rotated from the handle 29, thus securing the paling, which is fastened in hooks of the sprocketchain 58, and then traversed the distance required, by rotation of the wheel 56.

Title: Improvements in Distributing Apparatus employed in Filtering Sewage and other Liquids.
Inventor: BATTISCOMBE CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1905-01-02
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 65. Battiscombe, C. A Jan. 2. Spray-producers and spreaders.-Sewage &c. is supplied to filter-beds by rotary distributing- apparatus supported above a central supply pipe 1. An annular channel 3 is formed around the top of the pipe by an outer wall 2 and a U-shaped ring, dipping into the channel, provides for an intermittent siphonic discharge from the pipe. The liquid passes from the channel along radial arms 5, through the bent ends of which it is discharged into a trough or turbine ring 12, which is thus caused to rotate. The bottom of the ring, which is fitted with curved blades, inclines to openings 15 communicating with open distributing- troughs 16. The troughs 16 are attached to the turbine ring, and both are supported by tension rod s 11, 20 fixed to a cap 8 revolving on ball bearings at the top of the column 7. The troughs 16 are also supported by struts and ties 21. The boss of the ring is fitted with roller bearings. One side of each trough has notches 22, Fig. 6, increasing in size outwards along the trough, while the bottom and sides are inclined so that the cross - section decreases. The notched side of the trough has a pendent edge 25 corrugated or otherwise. Wind vanes 28 may be provided to regulate the speed of rotation. They are mounted at the ends of the troughs on vertical axes 20, which are not at the centres of the vanes, and their motion is limited by projecting pieces 30. Perforated metal plates may be fixed horizontally in the troughs to ensure a level liquid surface.

Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 23,866. Taylor, S., and Berry, J. Nov. 20. Pumps with air cushions between pistons and liquids. -Relates to pumps for raising corrosive liquids and the like of that class in which there is an air space between the piston and the liquid, so that no liquid can enter the barrel within which the piston works. Such pumps are provided with mechanically-operated valves for distributing the air to the pump barrel, and with a float to prevent the liquid from entering the barrel. The valve box c is fitted with the usual suction and delivery valves d, d' and is provided with a float valve f which serves to cut off communication with the pump barrel b. As the piston a ascends, a vacuum is created in the chamber c and liquid is drawn in until the chamber is full, when the valve f closes. When the piston is at the top of its stroke, air is admitted to the barrel b through a cam-actuated valve e, whereupon the compression stroke commences and the liquid is forced from the chamber c through the delivery valve d'. The compressed air within the chamber b is allowed to escape at the proper moment through the valve e<1>, which is actuated by a cam g<1>, whereupon the suction stroke commences again.
