Patent GB-189909221-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Racking Beer.
Inventor: COLBY HARRY WILMONT
Filed: 1899-05-02
Granted: 1900-02-03
Abstract: 9221. Colby, H. W. May 2. Filling with liquids.-The liquor is allowed to flow by gravity from the tank into the cask through a pipe 5 which slides through a sealing- collar 7 that fits over the bunghole and connects the barrel with the air space of the tank through a side tube 21. The pipe is pushed down by a piston in a hydraulic cylinder 10 within a second cylinder 15 and the collar by an annular piston with two piston-rods 12 in the interspace between the cylinders. The frame 4 which holds the cylinders and guides the piston-rods hangs from hinges 75, so that it can be swung aside, the dipping-pipe having an elbow head which is connected to the tank by flexible piping. The distributing-cocks for the hydraulic pressure are controlled by hand-levers connected by links 67, 68. The head of the dipping-pipe is attached to the central piston-rod by a pair of knucklejoints 43 subject to straightening-springs 44, and a valve 6 at the bottom of the pipe is connected to the piston-rod by a rod 8 which passes through a stuffing-box in the head. The joint pins 47 of the knuckle-joints bear against cams 45, which slide on the side piston-rods and strike the bottom of the frame slightly before a block 49 on the pipe strikes, so that the joints are bent and the valve 6 at the bottom of the pipe is opened. A roller 35 on the crosshead of the central piston acts on a lever 31 to open a cock between the tank and the dipping-pipe. A glass section of the air tube is adjusted to contain the volume of liquid displaced by the feed-pipe, so that, when this is withdrawn, the cask is left full of liquid. The barrel 25 is rolled up an incline 57 to a rocking frame 52, bearing rollers 51, which is propped by a toggle-lever 54. The toggle joint 55 rests in a hinged foot 59, which can be lifted by a foot-lever 53 to discharge the cask.

Abstract: 21,772. Rabe, H. Oct. 31. Anemometers; logs.-The apparatus is designed for determining the flow of liquids or gases through pipes. Fig. 1 shows a means by which the flow is determined. A throttling- valve b interrupts the flow along the pipe a to any extent required, as shown by an external indicator, and the rate of flow is shown by the difference of height of the liquid in the arms of the U-tube f connected by passages e, d to the pipe a. In the case of gases, the U-tube is modified in shape, or inverted, and provided with an indicating liquid.

Patent GB-189924934-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Photo-lithographic Printing Plates.
Inventor: SCHMIEDER HERMANN
Filed: 1899-12-15
Granted: 1900-03-03
Abstract: 24,934. Schmieder, H. Dec. 15. Lithographic and like printing.-The lithographic stone or metal plate, which is to be treated to receive a design by exposure under a negative, is first roughened or grained, preferably by means of a very fine sand blast, and is then treated with a weak solution of nitric acid. The surface is then warmed and coated with a gelatinous substance. When the surface is dry, a solution composed of specified quanties of distilled water, albumen, and saccharic acid is applied to it, and, when this is dried, a solution consisting of specified quantities of distilled water, chloride of zinc, chrysaniline, bichromate of ammonium, and bicromate of potassium, is poured on it, and dried. The surface is then exposed under the negative, and it is afterwards rolled with ink consisting of lampblack, wax, Venetian turpentine, lithographic ink, and oil of lavender, melted together and mixed with asphaltum, colophony, or resin, and pure beef fat. The picture is then developed by sponging with water, and is afterwards coated with gum arabic to protect it from dust. The gum arabic is subsequently washed off and the ink removed by turpentine, and the surface washed with dilute nitric acid to decompose the sensitive film. The surface is again inked, and finally subjected to the ordinary acid treatment. For some of the ingredients referred to, others may be substituted, and coloured inks may be used.
Patent GB-189925624-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Delivery Mechanism for Printing Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-12-28
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 25,624. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Dec. 28. Delivery apparatus. -Relates to apparatus more particularly adapted for cutting, associating, a n d delivering products having small-sized sheets. The web passes from the printing - mechanism between the two cylinders or carriers A. The carrier A has a plurality of cutting-blocks 1, between which are surfaces corresponding with the length of sheet. On the carrier B are cutting - blades co-operating with the blocks 1. Mounted in the carrier A to the rear of each cutting groove is a set of carrying-pins X, and also a set of pins or plungers 21 for lifting the sheets from the cylinder. On the carrier A are also radially movable folding-blades 9, which fold the sheets into the gripper jaw 29 of the cylinder D. The pins X are operated to release the sheets by a cam 2 carried by an arm of a pivoted lever 3 pressed by a spring 5 and connected to a rod 8 operated by a cam 6 on a shaft 7. The cam 2 is adjustable on the lever 3 by slots and bolts 4, so that it may be moved into the position shown to release the sheets for folding by the blades 9 &c., or into position to release the leading ends of the sheets for delivery unfolded over the cylinder D to the tapes 26, 27, a stripper 28 being provided for directing the sheets off the cylinder D to the tapes. The arms 22 for projecting the pushers 21 are on shafts 23 operated by lugs 24 engaged by lugs 25 on the shafts which operate the pins X. When associating, the shaft 7 is driven from the cylinder B at the required speed, so as to move the cam 2 into inoperative position at the necessary intervals to prevent the operation of the pins X and to collect the desired number of sheets on each surface of the carrier A. The folding-blades are also caused to operate in a corresponding manner by means of a three-armed lever 16 operated by the spring 17, rod 19, and cam 18. The arm 20 of this lever 16 operates to cover the depression in the cam 15 and prevent the operation of the blades 9. The blades 9 are operated by arms 11 on shafts 12 having arms 13 with bowls 14 running on the cam 15. The folded sheets are delivered by the jaw 29 to the grippers 32.
