Patent GB-190928838-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Water Supply or Flush Tanks.
Inventor: WANGELIN FRIEDRICH GEORG
IPC: E03D1/20
Filed: 1909-12-09
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 28,838. Wangelin, F. G. Dec. 9. Seat-action water-waste preventers; tipping- tank water-waste preventers.-Provision is made for varying the filling position by means of an adjustable stop and also for retaining the vessel in the empty position when used for irregular flushing. The tilting vessel c is supported in stable equilibrium within the flush tank a, upon the rear side of which is a frame d carrying an adjustable screw g. With this construction a continuous supply of water to the tilting vessel gives an automatic and periodic discharge from the flush tank of a character dependent upon the position of the screw g. When the discharge is not periodic, the frame d carries a fork-shaped lever e, an inlet pipe i, a valve h, and a supply pipe j. The supply valve is operated by a lever l having at one end a weight k and at the other a vessel m with a hole in the bottom. The lever has a lifting-device p which is pivoted to a latch o. When the seat is not in use, the tilting vessel is in the tilted position and is locked by the latch o engaging its rim at w. At the same time the supply valve is closed as the right-hand side of the lever l is down. When the seat is used, a rod-system r operates the fork-shaped lever l and thereby disengages the latch o, so that the tank moves back into its filling position as determined by the screw g. During this movement, the hook p engages with the lever l. The parts remain in this position while the seat is in use. After use, the rodsystem r moves the shaped part of the lever e causing the hook p to raise the lever l and open the valve h. The vessel c fills, tilts over and discharges into the vessel a; and the discharge from m causes the valve lever l to close the valve, this being possible because the lever p has been displaced by the tilting movement.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 4337. Rosculet, V. Feb. 21. Solidified oils and spirits.-Petroleum, petroleum ether, benzine, &c. are solidified by dissolving in them a small quantity of a neutral fat which has been heated with an acid, as described below, and by then adding to the heated solution a hot saturated solution of sodium hydrate in alcohol or carburetted alcohol. The following known processes are referred to: (1) treatment with fatty acid and hydrochloric or other acid, with subsequent addition of alkali; (2) treatment with aniline and formaldehyde; (3) saponification with resin, and addition of hydrochloric acid ; (4) treatment with glue &c. and formaldehyde or the like. Fats, treated with acid. A neutral fat, such as stearin, is heated for several hours at 100-120‹ C. with a concentrated acid. Gaseous hydrochloric acid is preferred, but sulphuric, phosphoric, and nitric acid may also be used. The product is soluble at the ordinary temperature in liquid hydrocarbons.

Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 5162. Rowe, H. C. March 30, 1909, [Convention, date]. Connecting uppers to insoles and soles.-The sole of a turnshoe is constructed of two layers of leather in the fore part. A tap-piece b, cut to the shape of the fore part of the sole and skived upon its flesh side at its rear end, is cemented to a complete outsole a with the flesh side of each in contact. The two parts are rounded together, and the fore part of the outsole is channelled on the grain and fair-stitched to the tap-piece. The insole channels are then cut right round the composite upper surface and within the line of fair-stitching in the fore part. The upper is lasted and stitched in the usual way to this combined sole, and the shoe is turned. The grain side of the leather of the tap-piece, being uppermost, permits the extension edge to receive a finish equal to that of the ordinary welted shoe; when the sole has been worn, it may be replaced without interfering with the upper stitches, and these stitches are not affected by the wear of the sole.

Abstract: 7421. Kelly, G. B. Oct. 31, 1910, [Convention date]. Winding-mechanism; tune-sheets. - A device for guiding the tune-sheet comprises a handcontrolled lever, which is adapted to shift the delivery-roll laterally and co-operates with a line on the tune-sheet to indicate correct alinement. The line 17 on the tune-sheet normally registers with the lever 18, which is pivoted at 14. If the tune-sheet deviates from its proper course, the operator moves the lever 18 towards the line 17. The movement is transmitted through the link 12 and lever 9 to the spool 1, which is moved laterally against the action of the spring 4. The operator is enabled to tell when the tune-sheet is in the desired alinement by the correct playing of the notes. The spring 20, against which the end of the lever 18 bears, is so shaped that the lever 18 returns to the normal position when released. The top of the lever 18 is hinged at 14' so that it can be folded down.

Abstract: 12,141. Johnsen, J. A. May 19. Telephonic relays; telephones; microphones.- The moving coils of telephonic and similar transmitters, receivers, and relays are supported in very intense magnetic fields formed by special forms of electro-magnets which concentrate the lines of force. The member supporting the coil is fixed at its centre and connected at its free ends with the coil. In the telephonic relay shown in Fig. 5, the line coil 3 is held between a conical pole 1 and an annular pole-piece 2 fitting in the pole 13. The coil is connected to a spatula - shaped member 15 immersed in granular carbon, which may be connected differentially to the transformer 17,17<a>. Various methods of supporting the coil 3 and connecting it to the member 15 are described. In the transmitter or receiver shown in Fig. 6, a hemispherical coil 3 is mounted between similarlyshaped pole-pieces 1, 2, which are cut away as shown at 12, 30 to concentrate the field. The diaphragm 23 is connected to the outer ends of the member 29 supporting the coil, which member is connected at its centre by a pin 28 to a fixed diaphragm 27. The coil 3 can be formed of aluminium or silver wire wound in layers on a hemi-spherical mandrel, magnetic material being inserted between the layers. In one form of magnet, a hollow, recessed, conical pole-piece embraces a conical pole, so as to form an annulus in which the coil is placed. In another form, one conical pole opposes two like poles which are arranged obliquely and are cut away so as to present pole surfaces parallel to the first pole.

Abstract: 12,248. Werner, J. A., and Green, C. W. Nov. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Cash registers with operating - means and levers for special transactions &c.-Relates to improvements in multiple - counter mechanism for differentially - set independently - operated machines. The multiple-counter reel is of the kind described in Specification 2943/01 and is shown applied to a lever-set machine of the kind described in Specification 21,213/03. The required special counter is brought into position by a lever 2 attached to a segment 26 gearing with a segment 27 having an arm pin-andslot geared to a rack 30 gearing with the reel, which is carried by the usual slide 111 operated by a cam on a main shaft 59. The counter selected is brought up into gear with segments 24 which are attached by meshed sleeves on a shaft 18 to yokes 21, which carry pawls 20 so as to be set differentially thereby. The pawls lie between circular arms 133 fast to the shaft 18 and disks 19 attached to pinions gearing with racks attached to the usual vertical differentially - set racks of the machine. On setting the amount levers, the pawls 20 are set correspondingly and with them the segments 24 and subsequently, after the special counter has been brought into position, the shaft 18 is rocked so as to return the pawls 20, yokes 21, and segments 24 to normal and thus actuate the special counter; this is then disengaged and the shaft 18 rocked back again. The disks 19 and arms 133 are recessed and shouldered so as to ensure proper action of the pawls. To ensure that the special counter is correctly in position, the thumb-grip 45 of the special-counter setting-lever causes a justifying- stud 48 to depress a plate 50 carried by a pair of levers, one of which is pin-and-slot geared to a lever 55 which locks the main shaft 59 while the justifying-stud 48 is away from one of the positioning-notches in a plate 38. Operationcounters 139 are provided, as described in Specification 2943/01, actuated by spaced arms 146 on a shaft 147 rocked by a pitman 150 and a cam on the main shaft. The shaft 147 is slid longitudinally, so as to bring the proper counter into action, by means of gearing 160, 159, 153 from a segment 152 fast with the special setting- lever 2. Special segments attached to the same lever also set an indicator-operating rack 65 and a rack 75 for setting the special type-wheel.
