Title: Improvements in Trolley Boom Controlling Apparatus for Electric Tram Cars and the like Vehicles
Inventor: HINDLEY SAMUEL
Filed: 1905-12-02
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 24,998. Hindley, S. Dec. 2. Collectors.-A t r o 11 y y boom, on leaving the line, is made to fall by its own weight. The pole socket g, Figs. 1 and 2, is pivoted to the swivelling support c and is braced by rods i to a yoke f which bears on a spring Q in a tube d fixed to the support c. Additional springs k bear against a fixed stop l. The spring Q bears on a sliding block m, shown separately in section and end view in Figs. 6 and 8, in which a doubly y bevelled key n, Fig. 1, is moved transversely by correspondingly bevelled shoulders p, p<1> carried by a rod o. This rod is screwed into the yoke f, and passes through the spring Q and block m, as shown. The key n normally projects into an opening r in the tube d, but, when the trolly jumps the line, the motion to the right, of the shoulder p, retracts the key. The block and key are then forced along the tube by the spring Q, the boom descending at the same time until its downward motion is arrested by the abutment of the upper extension of'the block m on a lug or cross-bar s on the base pivot a. This abutment automatically alines the fallen boom along the car axis, and at the same time a pin x, Figs. 13 and 14, in the cotter u is withdrawn from a hole in the casing over the cotter u. For re-setting, the boom is pushed right up, and the key drawn in until the cotter, under the action of a spring w, enters the passage in the block m, forming a temporary abutment for it, as shown in Fig. 14. The subsequent lowering of the trolly for engagement with the line moves the shoulders p<1> to the left and causes the key to slide into the opening r, from which it ejects the cotter u. The parts are thus restored to the position shown in Fig. 13, the boom being re-set. The Provisional Specification states that a spring may be interposed between the block m and the base pivot to minimize the impact when the boom descends,

Title: Improvements in Corsets.
Inventor: MUNTER CHARLES
Filed: 1905-12-20
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 26,619. Munter, C. Dec. 20. Corsets ; chest-expanders ; bells; suspenders for articles of dress.-A "conformer" or health corset for men, women, and children consists of a back part A, Figs. 1 and 2, provided with shoulder straps B, Figs. 2 and 4, and with a belt D, the two parts 22, 23 of which are connected by crosslacing C with the back parts, as shown. Stays 16 are inserted near the edges of each of the back sections ; otherwise the article is constructed of a pliable fabric. The upper edges of the back sections are shaped to conform to the contour of the base of the neck, and the shoulder straps are adapted to the form of the shoulder blades and the adjacent parts of the body. The inner edges of the shoulder straps are each formed with a convexity at 21, so that when the arms are moved forwards this part 21 will slide upon the arm and prevent the chafing of the arm pits. It is stated that the corset expands the chest, and that the belt serves to lift the body from the diaphragm. To prevent the belt from slipping upwards, hooks 25 attached to the belt, or a suspender cord running over pulleys on the belt and corset, may be attached to the drawers of the wearer.
Patent GB-190606825-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Diffraction Colour Photographs and Mode of Making same
Inventor: IVES HERBERT EUGENE
Filed: 1906-03-21
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 6825. Ives, H. E. Oct. 19, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Colour, photography. - A diffraction method of colour photography is described in which ordinary ruled gratings are used in conjunction with a ruled black and white screen the opaque areas of which are double the width of the transparent parts. The process has the advantages of the method of juxtaposition while obviating the necessity of ruling gratings with alternating lines of three different spacings. The process consists in successively copying the component colour positives on to a sensitive plate through three different gratings and a ruled screen, and shifting the screen through a space equal to the width of the slits after each copying. The line screen should preferably be disposed obliquely or at right-angles to the rulings of the gratings. The effect thus obtained is illustrated in Fig. 3. The gratings used are those which are calculated to send to the eye through the viewing-apparatus light of a colour corresponding to the colour component copied. A composite diffraction grating having three different spacings of strips each of the width of the transparent spaces of the ruled screen may be used. In this case it is necessary to register the screen accurately in copying, and again each grating may be permanently combined with a separate lined screen, the combination being registered in correct position at each copying for the corresponding component copied.

Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Complex Sulphide Ores.
Inventor: BECHI GUY DE
Filed: 1906-04-20
Granted: 1907-04-20
Abstract: 9339. Bechi, G. de, and R³cker, R. W. April 20. Sulphur.-In a cyclical wet process for treating complex sulphide ores carrying lead and zinc, sulphur is obtained incidentally. The ore is very ,finely ground and heated with an acid solution of ferric sulphate. The solution is filtered, and the residue, which contains lead, copper, silver, gold, sulphur and gangue, is distilled to recover sulphur and is then treated by ordinary methods for the recovery of the metals. The filtrate is treated to convert ferrous sulphate to ferric sulphate by oxidation with nitric acid, the nitrous fumes being transformed to nitric acid for further use. The zinc sulphate is then crystallized out of the filtrate and calcined, and subsequently smelted for zinc. Specification No. 7278, A.D. 1887, and No. 3533, A.D. 1889, [Abridgment Class Metals and alloys], are referred to.

Title: Improved Means of and Apparatus for Bleaching or Dyeing Hanks, Cops, and other Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: WILKINSON JONAS
Filed: 1906-05-24
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 12,117. Wilkinson, J. May 24. Bleaching; dyeing.- Hanks, cops, &c. are operated upon by pumping the treating liquor from a tank up through the materials, which are under mechanical compression in a number of rectangular vats. The liquor overflows through a conduit into the tank, and the circulation is continued until the desired effect is obtained. Each vat E is fitted with a false bottom consisting of a rectangular frame F, Fig. 5, notched at its top edge to receive a number of loose round bars G. The hanks or cops are piled up on the loose bars G, and the perforated top cover H is placed thereon and forced down by mechanical means, which may consist of an hydraulic jack X temporarily introduced between the cover H and a cross-piece L supported in the slotted extremities N, N' of two loose stirrup uprights M, M'. The other ends of the uprights M. M' have each a prong or pike O, which is pushed through a recess O<1> in the vat-stand P, Fig. 7. They are also secured by U-shaped clips Q, Q', Fig. 5. When the cover H has been forced down far enough, cross-bars J, J<1> are pushed through slots on opposite sides of the vat and their open ends are covered by swivelling pieces U, U<1>, lined with suitable packing, so as to make a fluidtight joint, and secured by nuts T. The slots on the other side of the vat are permanently covered. A centrifugal pump is then caused to draw the bleaching or dye liquor from a tank A and force it through a pipe or pipes D and branch pipes V<1> connected to the bottoms of the vats E. Each branch pipe V<1> is fitted with a stop-cock (not shown) so that any vat may be cut out. The liquor is thus forced through all the material under treatment and passes out through holes in the covers H and overflows by a shoot E<1> back into the tank A. When saturated, the yarn in the vats can be further compressed. The jack X is again used until stepped brackets W, Fig. 7, can be placed between the cover H and the cross-bars J, J'. The cover H, Fig. 3, is provided with an opening L fitted with a lid L' which may be removed for the inspection of a sample cop &c placed inside. The lid L<1> is secured by a swivel-bar S. A pipe provided with a stop-cock and connected to the main supply pipe may communicate with a large cistern, and, when required, the stop-cocks leading to the vats may be closed, and that to the cistern opened, so that the liquor may be drawn off by means of the pump until again required for use.

Abstract: 24,054. Greenhalgh, H., and Smith, J. H. Oct. 31. Straight-bar knitting- machines.- Sliding latchneedles of two kinds are provided differing in the position of their butts and are arranged in groups and driven by two cam-grooves, 5, 7. The camcarriages 6, 8 and the two corresponding sets of thread - carriers 10, 12 are driven in opposite directions. The traverse of the thread-carriers is such that two adjacent carriers lay thread simultaneously on an end needle of one group, which needle unites the adjacent breadths. Fashioning is done by narrowing on the end groups of needles. The corresponding carriers are mounted frictionally on their driving-rods 11, 13<a> so as to slip when arrested by stops 14, 15. The stops 14 are fixed to a bracket 18, and the stops 15 are mounted on rods 16 which are racked inwardly by means of fashioning-screws or stepped cams. The traverse of the end guide is gradually reduced to zero, the adjacent guide being then similarly operated.
