Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 5224. Schnaier, M. March 2, A.D. 1903, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Disinfecting andfumigating.-A portable apparatus for disinfecting and fumigating buildings, also applicable for testing plumbing work, consists of a cylindrical receptacle 10 containing a fire-pot 14, communicating at the top with a spherical receptacle 21 containing a receptacle 43 into which the formaldehyde or other fumigant is introduced by means of a pipe 49. A spraying-device consisting of an annular tube 54 with an annular slit, surrounds the outlet pipe 44 from the fumigating-receptacle 43, and rests on the receptacle 21. The fire-pot has an inclined bottom 15, and is charged and discharged by means of pipes 17, 19 provided with screwed caps 18, 20. Air is forced through a pipe 66, into the fire-pot from which a valved branch 68 leads to the upper part of the fumigating-receptacle. When used for disinfecting and fumigating, the receptacle 10 is filled with water, and paper and charcoal placed in the fire-pot and ignited. The water sprayed on to the receptacle 21 is drawn off by a valved pipe 12 at the bottom of the receptacle 10, and the air introduced by the pipe 68 forces the vapours out through the outlet 44, whence they are led away by a hose. When the fumigant employed is in the form of a powder, it is moistened by means of steam or water, introduced through a pipe 70 forming a branch of the pipe 68. A valved pipe 52 attached to the bottom of the fumigating- receptacle, enables the condition of the receptacle to be ascertained. When employed for testing plumbing work, a suitable smoke-producing agent is placed in the fire-pot and ignited, the smoke being forced out through a valved pipe 23 at the top of the receptacle 21, which is fitted on one side with a gauge-glass 31, connected to the receptacle by valved pipes 27, 28, and on the other side with a trap 37 and pressure gauges 39, 40 ; during the operation the fumigating-receptacle may be filled with water and the outlet opened so as to prevent it from being overheated. The outlet 44 from the fumigating-receptacle is connected by a valved pipe to the pipe 25 into which leads the outlet from the receptacle 21.

Granted: 1904-06-30
Abstract: 9758. Hartley, W. G. April 28. Looms, pile-forming in. -In looms for weaving carpets and other pile fabrics, the pile loops are formed by crossing the pile warps C' over longitudinal pile wires E alternately from one side to the other. The pile warps C' may be raised and lowered by jacquard, dobby, or cam shedding- mechanism. The pile wires E are supported by depending legs E<1> pivoted on fixed shops 9, Fig. 10, and their front ends rest on the woven fabric. The wires E have protuberances E<3> at the bends to prevent the pile warps from slipping back on the wrong sides of the wires as they are being lowered. The pile warps are guided over the wires E by cranks or off-sets F' on pivoted wires F, which are partially rotated by pins H<1> on a sliding bar H acting on their bent endsf. The bar H is moved in one direction along a fixed bar G by connection with the jacquard, dobby, or other mechanism, and is returned by a spring. The wires F may be pivoted at the sides of the legs E<1>, as shown in Fig. 1, or behind the legs E<1>, in which latter case horizontal pins projecting from the lower part of the bar H act directly on the cranks F<1>. The guide-wires F may be flattened and have upper hinged portions F<1>, which guide the pile warps and are operated by pins from the reciprocating bar H, as shown in Fig. 10. The pile warps may otherwise be guided by flexible wires or cords depending from a movable bar. When the wires F are pivoted behind the legs E<1>, the pile warps are prevented from being carried too far to one side by guide-bars 14, pivoted at 15 on the shoes 9 and having their upper ends held loosely in a bar 14<a> resembling a reed in construction,

Title: Governing Mechanism for Batteries of Turbines.
Inventor: WILKINSON JAMES
Filed: 1904-12-28
Granted: 1905-04-27
Abstract: 28,578. Wilkinson, J. April 20, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Steam &c. turbines.-A governing-device for a battery of elasticfluid turbines i s shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A number of turbines 1 are arranged in a battery, and each turbine has an independent governor 8 actuating through a valverod 14 a suitable throttle valve regulating the fluidpressure supply to the turbine. Each valve-rod carries a piston valve working in a controller cylinder, and the controller cylinders are connected together so that, when all the turbines are started at a friction load, and the load increases, they are successively advanced to full load and then successively take on the overload. The controller cylinder 17 for the first turbine has an oil or other fluid-pressure inlet 23 and an outlet 57. The piston valve 16 has an outlet channel 22 passing downwards from its central cut - away part. Channels 36 in the cylinder wall lead to cylinders 26 containing pistons 28 adapted to operate spring - pressed detents 31, 39 which lock the piston valve in the full load and overload positions respectively. Each of the intermediate turbines has a controller cylinder 17<a> with a detent 46 to lock the piston valve in the friction-load position, and detents 31<a>, 39<a> for the full and overload positions respectively. The controller cylinder 17<c> for the last turbine has detents 46<c>, 31<c>, for locking the piston valve at friction and full load respectively. The controller and auxiliary cylinders are connected by pipes 50, enclosed in a casing 58, Fig. 1, and the arrangement is such that, starting at a friction load, the piston valve of the first turbine moves downwards to the full-load position, where it is locked, and the valve of the next turbine then moves downwards similarly, and so on, until the last turbine is at full load, when fluid pressure releases the full-load detent of the first turbine. The piston valves then successively advance to the overload position. When the load decreases, reverse actions take place.

Title: New or Improved Manufacture of Guaiacol Sulphonic Acids and Salts thereof.
Inventor: ELLIS REGINALD EATON
Filed: 1905-08-17
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 16,723. Ellis, R. E., [Chemische Fabrik von Heyden Alct.-Ges.]. Aug. 17. Guaiacol sulphonic acids. - In sulphonating guaiacol with sulphuric acid at 70-80‹ C., as described in Specification No. 14,376, A.D. 1897, a mixture of o- and p-monosulphonic acids is stated to be obtained. These acids are converted into basic salts of alkaline earth, earthy, or heavy metals, and the insoluble p-salts are separated. The salts are then converted into free acids or into alkali salts. In examples, the calcium and lead salts are used for the separation. The o-acid differs from the p-acid by forming with potassium a salb more soluble in water and crystallizing in needles containing water instead of anhydrous octahedra, in giving no precipitate when ammonia plus calcium or barium chloride is added to its aqueous solution, in giving no precipitate hut a red colour when nitric acid is added to its aqueous solution, and in forming a brick-red instead of an orange azo compound with diazobenzene. The azo compounds yield a,mido bodies when reduced.

Title: Improvements in connection with Electrostatic Watt and Watt-hour Meters.
Inventor: WILSON ERNEST
Filed: 1905-12-19
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 26,512. Wilson, E., and Wilson, W. H. Dec. 19. Electrometers.-Electrostatic watt and watt-hour meters for alternating current systems are arranged so that the two potential differences applied to the parts of the instrument are proportional to the rates of change of the main current and electromotive force respectively. Connexions to highpressure parts can thus be avoided. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the pairs of quadrants n, m are connected to the ends, and the case l to the .middle, of the secondary coil e of an air-transformer, the primary coil d of which carries the main current ; -the needle o and case l are connected to the ends of a non-inductive resistance g in series with a condenser f between the mains. The capacity or the resistance should be small, and for extreme accuracy they should bear definite proportions to the resistance of the coil e and the capacity of the instrument. The case may be connected to one end instead of the middle of the coil e, and the connexions of the quadrants and needle may be reversed. The readings may require correction for variations of frequency, and for this purpose a frequency meter, graduated in terms of the corrections to be applied, may be placed near the scale of the electrometer. Or the number of turns of the coil e, connected to the instrument, may be varied by means of a switch, which may be automatically operated by the frequency meter itself. The point k being on the low-pressure main, the only high-potential part is one plate of the condenser f, and this may be made inaccessible. In the arrangement for this purpose shown in Fig. 6, the main b is connected at y with a plate 2 enclosed in a box 3 with an insulating bushing 4, the box forming the low-potential side of the condenser. Or a plate may be bent round the insulation of the main and enclosed in a protecting- casing, the plate being the low-potential surface and the conductor itself the high-potential part of the condenser. The electrometers described in Specification No. 27,201, A.D. 1904, may be used, and the invention may be applied to polyphase systems as described in Specifications Nos. 2707 and 5582, A.D. 1904.
