Title: Improvements in Bottle Filling Machines or Apparatus
Inventor: RAMSEY JOHN
Filed: 1906-01-24
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 1829. Ramsey, J., and Carter, J. H. Jan. 24. Bottling; stuppering; stoppers, internal.-Relates to an apparatus for filling bottles with aerated liquids or beverages under pressure, and consists essentially in an arrangement whereby the bottle is filled with the air or gas substantially as soon as it is placed on the filling-tube and before any liquid is admitted, the pressure being the same as that in the liquid supply tube so that the subsequent filling is effected without foaming, and without loss of time. The apparatus is especially applicable for filling bottles fitted with stoppers having valves which are antomatically closed after the filling operation. The liquid under pressure is admitted to a cylinder 10 to fill the supply pipe a, the displaced air rising through a pipe t to an air or gas receptacle s. The liquid rises in the cylinder until the pressure of the air &c. above it equals the pressure of the source of supply, when the latter is cut off. A float 16 rises with the liquid and closes a vent tube 60. The bottle is then slipped over the filling-tubej, which is carried by the part h of a split collar g, h mounted to turn on the pipe a. The valve 55 of the bottle stopper is carried away.from its seat by the end of the tube j; as shown in Fig. 6, and the bottle neck engages the end 33 of a pivoted lever 26 having attached to it the spindle 18 of a small lift valve n. This opens the valve and allows air or'gas to flow from the receptacle s through a pipe r, Fig. 1, and passages p, o, Fig. 5, to a chamber 23 beneath a diaphragm 21 attached to the spindle 18, then by way of a port 45, Fig. 4, recess 43, and passage 44 to an annular space 41 round the tube j, then through a port 40 into a chamber formed by a partition 38 in the tube j, and finally through a port 50 into the bottle. The filling-tube carrier g, h is then turned until the inner end of the tube j registers with a port k in the supply pipe, when the liquid flows through the chamber 37 of the tube j and port 51 into the bottle. The air &c. displaced from the bottle during filling returns to the receptacle s, and escapes through the vent tube 60, which has been opened by the falling of the float 16 as the liquid' fills the bottle. The carrier is then moved back and the bottle withdrawn, carrying with it the valve 55. The recess 43 is fitted with a small float valve 46 which normally rests on a ledge 70, but should any liquid find its way into the recess the valve rises and seats against the port 45. The apparatus is provided with a bottle rest 66, and with stops 75 for limiting the movement of the filling-tube carrier.

Abstract: 6935. Sepulchre, V. March 25, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Producers.- A' gas - producer is constructed without a grate, after the manner of a blast furnace, and is adapted to be used in the extraction of metals or metallic compounds. The shaft a of the producer is supported on pillars b above a crucible or hearth d, and contains a retort which is adjustably suspended from the cover k of the producer by means of screws m and is provided with a seal o, p; the outer envelope g of the retort encloses an inner envelope i suspended on a block i<1> to distribute the charge. In operation, air is injected through a lower row of tuyÞres x, and steam, hydrocarbons, or distillation vapours from the retort through an upper row of tuyÞres y ; the vapours may be conveyed from the retort to the tuyeres by means of a pipe z containing a blower l. The gas collects in an enlarged space q at the upper part of the producer and passes away through an opening f. Limestone or other flux may be added to the fuel in the hearth in order to fuse the cinders and separate metallic matts or pigs. Oxides of certain metals may be reduced, while sulphides fuse and form mattes with any reduced metals. In the case of iron pyrites occurring in mineral fuels, a part of the sulphur is driven off and iron protosulphide is formed and accumulates in the crucible. In some cases, the gases from the retort may be separately treated, and afterwards returned to the producer.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 23,677. Johnson, J. Y., [Fabbrica Italiana Audomobili Torino, F. I. A. T.]. Oct. 24. Gas and like engines. - Reversing is effected by shifting longitudinally the cam shafts actuating the inlet and exhaust valves, respectively, so as to bring different cam-swells under the valve stems. One of the cam shafts b drives, through screw gearing g, h, the shaft of a rotary distributing- valve q for supplying compressed air through pipes j<1>, j<2>, j<3>, j<4> and check valves to the four cylinders during the working strokes to start the engine in either direction. The longitudinal motion of the cam shaft b gives an angular displacement to the valve q so as to bring the port r into a suitable position for starting in the reverse direction. The valve q is raised from its seat by a spring s when the compressed air is cut off, the valve spindle l being connected to the shaft p by a collar u keyed to both and connected to the spindle by a pin. The collar also limits the lift of the valve by coming against the stop z. The invention can be applied to engines with other numbers of cylinders.

Patent GB-190701759-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Radio-telegraphy.
Filed: 1907-01-23
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 1759. Barker, E. Raymond-, and Amalgamated Radio-Telegraph Co. Jan. 23. Telegraphs.-Wireless signals, instead of being made up of long and short elements, are composed of equal time-value elements. The signals are produced by waves of different lengths, the sending- apparatus being arranged to transmit oscillations of two or more different wave lengths, and the receiving-apparatus being adapted to receive the same. The system is intended for use with apparatus which allows of fine tuning, and is described with particular reference to the Poulsen system of radiotelegraphy. In Fig. 1, one form of transmitting apparatus is shown in diagram. The two arcs F are fed with current from the mains G, and each arc is shunted through a key A, A' by an inductance C and a capacity D. The inductances and capacities in the two shunt circuits are arranged to give oscillations of different wave-lengths, so that the antenna B when placed in circuit with one arc by the key A, will emit a wave of different wavelength from that emitted when the antenna is in circuit with the other arc through the key A<1>. When the keys are in their normal position, they complete shunt circuits through inductances C' and capacities D', forming oscillatory circuits of feeble emissive power but of the same periods and damping rates as the antenna systems. These second circuits are thrown into the arc circuits when the antenna is cut out by releasing the keys. In other methods of arrangement of the transmitting-apparatus, one or more arcs are used ; and means are shown whereby signalling can be effected by hand or automatically through the operation of electromagnetic sounder transmitters. In one method, signalling is effected by short-circuiting a non- inductive resistance which, when in the circuit, is sufficient to keep down the oscillations. The arrangement of the receiving-apparatus is shown in Fig. 5. The antenna B' is connected to earth through two inductances C<5> and two condensers D<5>, all arranged in parallel. Each of the inductances C<5> acts inductively on another circuit, the inductance C<6> and the capacity D<6> of which are so adjusted relatively to the main receiving-circuit that through the action of a ticker P' or like device, each telephone P responds only to waves of the proper wave length. In a method of recording the signals received, the coherer in each circuit is provided with vibrating tongues, which, alternately make contact with the capacity and inductance circuit and with the relay circuit. Besides receiving messages in the ordinary way, other telegraphic operations, such as the automatic retransmission of messages from one long distance circuit to another, may be effected.

Title: Improvements relating to the Mixture of Gas and Air.
Filed: 1907-02-09
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 3303. Akt.-Ges. f³r Selas-Beleuchtung. Feb. 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Mixing-gases.-In apparatus for mixing air and gas in which the gases are drawn into the apparatus and forwarded for consumption by a pump or the like, the valve that regulates the supply of gas and air is actuated directly by the pressure of the gas, without the intervention of a bell, membrane, or the like. A rotary pump 1 draws gas and air into the chamber 4 through the inlets 2, 3, respectively, and delivers the mixture to the supply pipe 6. The inlets 2, 3 are regulated by a hollow piston 14, moving in the chamber 4 and provided with openings 15, 16 in its sides. The piston 14 is actuated bv the pressure of the incoming gas, which is admitted to the underside thereof by the pipe 19. The gas is preferably admitted through a pressure regulator 9 of the known type, and a regulating device 11, also of known type, is provided to place the service pipe 6 in communication with the suction pipe when the pressure in the former becomes excessive. The base of the valve 14 may be broader than the upper part, and may operate in a corresponding part of the chamber 4, or the valve may be inverted and the air and gas pass through channels in its sides. Fig. 5 shows a form in which the air and gas are mixed within the piston 14 and pass into the chamber 4 by an opening 26 controlled by the wall thereof. In this case the openings 15, 16 may be so arranged as always to give access to the interior of the valve. As it is desirable that the proportions of the air and gas inlets should be altered as their sizes change, the valve 14 may be caused to rotate as it rises by means of an inclined bar 27 passing between the projections 28 in the valve. The same effect may be produced by making the openings 15, 16 narrower above than below. A reciprocating pump may be substituted for the rotary pump 1 in which case the valve 14 may serve as the inlet valve.
