Patent GB-190527024-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steam Generators.
Inventor: GRILLE CHARLES JOSEPH ANTOINE
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 27,024. Grille, C. J. A. Den. 27. Water-tube boilers.-In boilers of the Solignac- Grille type, a system of baffles is fitted for the purpose of mixing the gases which have been cooled and extinguished by contact with some of the tubes with burning gases at a high temperature. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement. An arch or screen a directs the gases to. the back, where they divide into two currents, one of which passes amongst the tubes below the baffle c. The other current passes into the space b and thence upwards between the tubes to the space e, where it mixes with and re-ignites the gases of the first current. The gases then pass round the baffle f and again divide into two currents, which circulate in the direction of the arrows 3, 4. The screen a and baffle f may be carried by generating-tubes ; or the screen a may consist of metal block with passages for superheating steam or of metal tubes with or without a refractory covering. If desired, openings leading directly into the space b may be formed in the screen a. For still further raising the temperature of the gases, the air supply to the ash-pit may be heated in vertical passages formed by a corrugated plate j or other suitable device inserted between the casing l and the brickwork k. The casing l is ribbed or beaded on its outer surface.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Ornamental Metal Articles.
Inventor: COWPER-COLES SHERARD OSBORN
Filed: 1906-03-09
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 5745. Coles, S. O. Cowper-. March 9. Ornamenting metal surfaces.-Ornamental metal articles are manufactured by making a mould in wax of the article enclosing or surrounding by a line or incision those parts of the article to be thrown into relief, obtaining an electrotype of the wax mould, and using this electrotype as a "stripping" mould for the production of electrotypes with the enclosing line sunk into the metal. Those parts of the electrotype to be made of a different colour from the body of the article, which may, for example, be of copper, are covered with 'another metal by electrolysis or by baking in zinc dust or other metallic powder. The sunk outline is then filled with coloured enamel or other composition of low melting-point to throw the design into relief.

Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 6226. Willis, P. R. J., [Worthington, E. A.]. March 14. Safety suspending- apparatus. - T h e cages of lifts, and the vehicles of inclined cable railways, are prevented from running down at excessive speed by means of a governor-controlled brake acting on the shafs of a worm, carried on the cage and engaging a fixed rack. Adjacent to the lift guides are secured two racks 2, 3, one of which drives a spur-wheel secured to a bevel-wheel 11 which rotates a vertical shaft 5. This shaft is mounted in bearings on a bracket 4 secured to the cage, and carries on a feather key a worm 6 arranged between buffer springs and meshing with the second fixed rack 2. The bevel-wheel 11 also drives an horizontal shaft mounted in suitable brackets and carrying a centrifugal governor, which is adapted to raise, when the speed is excessive, a vertical catch 20 engaging a sliding rod 16. When the catch is raised, a spring 23 presses the brake block 17 into engagement with a drum on the vertical shaft, thereby causing the worm 6 to jam in the rack 2. A handle 32 serves for re-setting. According to the Provisional Specification, a clutch is provided, and is automatically released when the brake is applied.

Abstract: 19,834. Helme, E. T. Sept. 5. Variable-speed gearing; clutches.-In change-speed gearing of the constantmesh type for motor-vehicles, a form of clutch is used in which a pair of spring jaws pivoted on the shaft are expanded into an elliptical recess in the gear &c. There is a driving-shaft K, a driven shaft L in line, and a countershaft M with fixed gears as usual. Elliptical recesses Q, Fig. 2, are formed in gears 3, 4, 5, 6 loose on the shaft L and in a part such as P secured to a gear N loose on the shaft K. The clutch jaws 11, 12, Fig. 2, are pivoted upon studs 13, 14 projecting from flanges 15, Fig. 1, of sleeves 16 secured to the shaft L, and are normally held inoperative by springs 19 between their lower ends 11<a>, 12<a>. The clutch is engaged when the upper ends 17, 18 of the jaws are thrust outwards by the inner end 22 of an elbow-lever 23, Fig. 1, pivoted upon one of the sleeves 16 and passing through a flange 15. Blocks 27, sliding on feathers on the sleeves 16, have flanges carrying hooks 32 engaging the levers 23 and operating the clutches when the blocks are moved from side to side by forked elbow-levers 38, 39, 40 pivoted upon a fixed casing A.

Patent GB-190723639-A (GB)
Title: Motor Vehicle with Three Axles.
Filed: 1907-10-25
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 23,639. Soc. Anon. des Automobiles E. BrilliÚ. Nov. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor road vehicles.-A six. wheeled motor road vehicle, in which the middle wheels drive while the front and rear pairs of wheels are connected for steering, is provided with h a system of equalizing-levers combined with the springs of the driving and rear steering-wheels, and a system of steering-connexions adapted to effect the convergence of the wheel spindles to a common centre. Fig. 4 shows a plan of the vehicle, and Fig. 2 a section of the driving and rear steering-wheels. The adjacent ends of the springs on each side of the two rear axles are connected by links to balance levers o, n pivoted to the frame, and adapted to put a greater load on the driving-axle than on the rear axle. With this construction, the vertical displacement of only one wheel, a rear one for example, and the consequent tilting of the spring on that side would tend to twist the axle. This is avoided by connecting both springs to the rear axle by pivots r<1>, the axle being maintained in position by two links u anchored to the frame, one link being connected to the axle by a vertical pivot, and the other by an horizontal pivot. Instead of the above' arrangement, the axle could be maintained in position by pivoting only one of the springs to the axle, the other being fixed to it. This system of spring connexions could be applied also to the driving-axle. The swivelling axles of each pair of wheels are connected to one another by cross-rods 15, 16, and the front and rear pairs are connected by longitudinal rods 9, 13 to arms 10, 12 on a transverse shaft 11, the angle of displacement of the back wheels being less than that of the front wheels. As the rods 9, 13 are connected to the front and rear wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle, the arms 10, 12 are arranged at an angle to one another sufficient to compensate for the wheels towards the inside of the curve being deflected more than those on the outside.

Title: An Improved Process for the Manufacture of Pure Nitrogen from Combustion-gases.
Inventor: FRANK ADOLPH
Filed: 1908-08-12
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 16,963. Frank, A., and Caro, N. Aug. 12. Nitrogen is prepared pure by passing combustion gases over a material having both an oxidizing and reducing action, such as a mixture of a metallic oxide and the corresponding free metal, which is oxidizable by oxygen and of which the oxide is reduced by carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The flow is regulated so as to convert completely the carbon and oxygen present into carbon dioxide, the mixture of metal and its oxide being maintained. The carbon dioxide is then absorbed from the mixture of that gas and nitrogen obtained. The combustion gas preferably used is producergas burned with a secondary supply of air. The combustion gas is passed directly, or after cooling and scrubbing, through a retort containing copper and copper oxide &c. If traces of oxygen appear in the final product, the secondary air supply is throttled for a time ; the reverse is done if too much carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon passes into the retort. The carbon dioxide originally present may be absorbed before treatment in the retort.
