Patent GB-191113255-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Mode of and in Apparatus for Manufacturing Roofing and the like Tiles.
Inventor: HEATON JAMES
IPC: B28B11/12
Filed: 1911-06-02
Granted: 1912-06-03
Abstract: 13,255. Heaton, J. June 2. Stream-cutting machines; moulds; pressing plungers and dies; processes. -Relates to a method and apparatus for making roofing-tiles. Sheets of clay are cut from a block having the dimensions of the length and breadth of the tiles, and these sheets are then pressed between a pair of plates having means for producing the nibs and nail holes. The bar of clay B, produced by extrusion, is placed upon a board A which is furnished with a rack a<1> meshing with a pinion D operated by an adjustable ratchet device d<4>, and is fed to a cutting- frame E. The frame E is operated by a counterweighted treadle e<6>, and an oscillating movement is imparted to the frame by arranging the stem E', which connects the frame to the treadle, asymmetrically. A rugous or wrinkled appearance is imparted to the tiles by yieldingly securing the cutting-wire e<1> at one end through a spring e<2>. The cut tiles are then placed between a pair of plates F, G, Figs. 7 and 8, uf which the plate F is furnished with perforating-pins f<1> carried by a spring plate f<3>, and the plate G is formed with recesses g<1> to produce the nibs. The plates F, G, with the cut-off clay sheet between them, are run along bars H, Fig. 4, which forces the clay into the recesses g<1> and forms the nibs. A knife h<2> arranged at the end of the bars H removes the excess of clay, after which the plates are pressed against a cross-bar h<3> to cause the pins f<1> to perforate the tile. The cutting-apparatus and the tile-forming apparatus may be combined with an extrusion machine, the forming-plates being supplied mechanically; instead of separate plates, a combined front and rear plate may be employed. Specification 13,970/10 is referred to.

Patent GB-191117802-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Regulating the Temperature of Rooms Heated by Central Heating Plants.
Inventor: MARTINI CLARA HEDWIG
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1911-08-04
Granted: 1912-08-06
Abstract: 17,802. Martini, C. H. Aug. 4. Air supply, regulating.-In connexion with a boiler for central heating, the admission of air to the furnace is under the joint control of the temperature in the rooms to be heated and of the boiler pressure. The valve K' controlling the furnace air supply is carried by a rod L, on which are mounted three adjustable tappets m, h, n. An arm f adapted to engage either of the tappets h or n is carried by a balance weight connected to a float S moving in a tank having a connexion t with the boiler. A weight R<I> slides on the rod L, but is normally held up by a hook c controlled by an electromagnet d in series with the controlling-thermometers in the rooms and with a normally closed switch on the tappet n. In operation, on a rise of boiler pressure to the predetermined maximum, the arm f engages the tappet hand closes the valve K', while a fall of pressure to the predetermined minimum causes the opening of the valve by the engagement of the arm f and tappet n, the switch on the tappet n being at the same time opened. On the subsequent rise of the boiler pressure, the arm f drops the tappet n, allowing the switch thereon to re-close, and if then the controlling-thermometer is at the predetermined maximum, the electro-magnet d is energized, and the hook c withdrawn, and the weight R<1> thus allowed to drop and close the valve K<1>. The weight R<1>, in falling, opens the thermometer circuit by means of the switch h<2>, so restoring the hook c to its operative condition. On the subsequent fall of the boiler pressure the arm f eventually engages the tappet n, and the float S opens the valve K<1> and again lifts the weight on to the hook c. The valve K<1> is connected to a valve K, which opens when the valve K<1> closes in order to admit cold air to the boiler room and accelerate the cooling of the furnace and boiler.

Title: Improvements in Door Stops.
Inventor: LUDWIGSDORF EGON VON SEIDLITZ
IPC: E05B45/06
Filed: 1911-08-10
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 18,120. Seidlitz und Ludwigsdorf, E. von. Aug. 10. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Burglar and like alarms.-A door-stop of the kind that permits the door to be opened only sufficiently for the introduction of letters, newspapers, &c., is arranged to close an electricalarm circuit while the door is open, so as to prevent forcible entry. The stop comprises two superposed curved arms a, b fixed, concentric with the door hinges, to the door frame and door respectively. The opening of the door is limited by the engagement of a bolt e with the end of a slot g in the arm b. The bolt e slides vertically in a hole in the arm a and is carried by a spring f fixed to the arm a and provided with a contact-piece l, which, while the door is open, closes an alarm-bell circuit, the terminals of which are connected to the spring f and to a contact-piece k carried by, but insulated from, the arm a. The lower end of the bolt e and one end of the slot g are correspondingly inclined so that, when the door is shut, the bolt is lifted and the circuit broken. By means of a cord m connected to an eye on the bolt, the device may be rendered inoperative. By altering the positions of the arms, the device may be applied to an inwardly-opening door.

Title: Improvements in Feathering Wind Sails or Propellers applicable in Wind Mills, Air-ships and other purposes.
Inventor: ANDERSON JOHN
IPC: F03D3/06
Filed: 1911-11-13
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 25,190. Anderson, J. Nov. 13. [Addition to 19,430/10.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Current motors. - Relates to the wind-sails, paddle-wheels, and aerial propellers described in the parent Specification, which are provided with feathering vanes actuated by mechanism in such a manner that the vanes do not revolve uniformly but through about 150 degrees during the working part of the wheel's revolution and about 30 degrees during the inoperative part, and consists in modified forms of mechanism for effecting the feathering of the vanes. The framework A, A', Fig. 1, of the wheel revolves about a fixed shaft B carrying a spur-wheel b. As the wheel rotates, the fixed spur-wheel b rotates a spur-wheel d through intermediate gearing d<3>, d<4>. The spur-wheel d is mounted upon a countershaft D carrying a pinion D<2> geared to a gear-wheel f. The wheel f is consequently uniformly rotated. The gear-wheel f is connected to a hollow shaft h by a crank and connecting-rod g. The shaft h, which is consequently rotated at a varying speed, is connected to the vane C by bevel-gearing. As shown in the lower part of the Figure, sprockets and chains replace the bevel-gearing, and one intermediate spur-wheel d<2> replaces the two spur-wheels d<3>, d<4>. In a modification, the central spur-wheel A, Fig. 4, gears with a spurwheel A<1> mounted upon the same countershaft as an elliptical gear-wheel C, which in turn gears with another elliptical gear-wheel D mounted upon the same countershaft as a sprocket E, connected by a chain to a sprocket F mounted upon the vane shaft.
