Title: Improvements in Label-affixers.
Inventor: HOWARD GEORGE E
Filed: 1903-06-13
Granted: 1904-06-09
Abstract: 13,272. Howard, G. E. June 13, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Affixing labels.- An instrument for affixing adhesive labels to meat is provided with a long handle 2, which is screwed to an inclined nipple 1 on the bottom of a box containing a packet B of labels and a spring-operated pusher 8. The open front of the box is fitted with inwardly - projecting wire &c. fingers 3, which retain the labels against the action of the spring 10, but allow the outermost label to slip out when attached to the meat. Pins or lugs 9 projecting outwards from the sides of the box engage in the meat to prevent the box from slipping over it while a label is being affixed. A door 4 for the introduction of labels to the box is held closed by spring catches with bevelled heads 6 on opposite sides of the box. A sponge for damping dry surfaces of the meat and for rubbing over affixed labels may be secured to the back of the box.

Title: Improvements in Braiding or Plaiting Machines.
Inventor: NAGEL ALFRED WALTHER
Filed: 1903-10-02
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 21,157. Nagel, A. W. Oct. 2. Braiding-machines.-Relates to machines for plaiting or braiding, in which the lace or other braided work is carried on a mandrel and subsequently cut longitudinally and wound up in a flat form. As the material is plaited, it is fed along the mandrel a by a number of pairs of spring grippers b carried by adjustable endless chains c driven by chain gearing. The shape of the grippers corresponds with that of the mandrel, and they are hinged on bolts d carried by projections on the links of the chains, suitable projections on the grippers engaging with guidestrips k on the carrying-frames i. At least two pairs of grippers are in operation at the same time, so that the material is carried, without distortion of the pattern, over the knife V, which cuts the threads connecting the edges of the material. These edges are plaited over the usual plaiting-needles, which extend upwards from the usual fork-shaped thread gatherer, and lie in the angles between the mandrel a and the jaws of the grippers. The mandrel may be of various forms in section at different parts of its length.

Patent GB-190526094-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Alternating Current Dynamo-electric Machines.
Filed: 1905-12-14
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 26,094. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Dec. 15, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets; sparking, preventing.-The commutation of alterna. ting-current motors, having a transverse magnetic field f, Fig. 1, in addition to the main field F, is improved by providing a suitable magnetic field at the points where the rotor coils are short-circuited. One method consists in making the air gap between the stator and rotor either greater or less at those places where the rotor coils are short-circuited according as the commutation is arranged to take place at high or low speeds, or the magnetic saturation of the stator may be made greater or less at those places. An auxiliary coil may be employed upon the stator, the field of which may be either in phase with the field f, dependent upon the current to be commutated, or dependent upon both. In Fig. 4, this field is produced by an auxiliary coil H excited by an adjustable shunt transformer T and regulated by a variable resistance W. In modifications, the coil H may be excited by both shunt and series transformers, or it may be short-circuited either on itself or through a variable resistance W to weaken the fields f or F at the desired places, as shown in Fig. 6. In those cases in which the maximum field strength occurs at the places where the coils are short-circuited and where the field is weakened by the last-mentioned arrangement, the hysteresis loss is simultaneously reduced.
Patent GB-190601977-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Gases for Gas Turbines
Inventor: WILSON LIDA
Filed: 1906-01-26
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 1977. Wilson, L. Jan. 26.. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gas turbines.-Combustion products for driving a turbine are cooled before use by being made to generate steam in the jackets of the combustion chamber and connecting-tubes. The combustion may be effected in a chamber enclosing the tubes of a locomotive-type boiler, and the gases may be cooled further after they leave the chamber. Fig.1 shows diagrammatically the fuel and air supply pipes K, J, with non-return valves L, the boiler B, and the combustion chamber. The valves L are made of incombustible material such as quartz. From the combustion chamber the gases pass through tubes I, which are surrounded by a number of independent water chambers H, to regulate the degree of supplementary cooling. The steam generated rises through pipes D to a chamber C. After leaving the pipes I, the furnace gases pass to the turbine through a pipe U, a receptacle T being provided for catching soot and similar matter. In a modification, the water-tubes through the combustion chamber are dispensed with. For timing the ignition, the valve K has a tapered stem which determines the closing of the igniting circuit.
Patent GB-190603651-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Raising and Lowering Loads
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE CRANSTON
Filed: 1906-02-14
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 3 6 5 1 . Fairweather, W. C., [Electro- Mechanical Works Co.]. Feb. 14. Loading-appliances.-Relates to pneumatic apparatus for raising and lowering ammunition on board war-ships, in which the load is carried on a piston fitting closely a vertical or inclined tube and raised by admitting air through an orifice beneath, the descent being regulated by an airoutlet orifice. The loading station comprises cylinders a, a<1> of the same diameter as the elevator tube B and movable about an axis b. In other forms of loading station, a single cylinder is pivoted at its centre and the projectile is fitted with a guiding cap, or a number of cylinders are arranged on a circular table moving about a vertical axis so as to feed one or two elevator tubes. The piston C and its load are placed in one of the cylinders, which is then moved until its axis coincides with that of the tube B. In this position, the air-admission orifice c is a prolongation of the radial orifice e in the pivot b. Leakage at the joints between the tube and cylinder is prevented by screwing down a sleeve f, which simultaneousiy opens a valve I and admits air from the reservoir by the pipes v, w to a cylinder u carrying a piston t and rod s. The pipe w is throttled at v, and the piston consequently moves down against the action of a spring and opens the main valve, and the load rises. The pipe v is throttled to such an extent that the main valve is automatically closed when the load reaches the desired height. The sleeve f is locked when the load is being raised by a pin enclosed in a casing M being forced out by fluid pressure communicated through the pipe j. The pipe B has orifices z at the discharge stations, and the orifice corresponding to the particular discharge station is opened so that as the load rises above it the air escapes and the piston is caught on the catch m. Pivoted sections l of the elevator tube constitute discharge doors. When these move about their axes k into the open positions, projections on them engage stops so as to close valves K arranged in the main pipe x and so effect the - closing of the main valve L. The valve Z opens to the atmosphere when the sleeve f is loosened. When the apparatus is used with descending loads, the exit of the air is regulated by a valve N.
