Title: Improvements in and relating to telautography or photo-telegraphy
IPC: H04N1/23
Filed: 1925-12-17
Abstract: 262,943. Bartholomew, H. G. Dec. 17, 1925. Copying-telegraphs.-Relates to a system of the kind described in Specification 195,577, in which several representations of a picture, each showing the distribution of a different depth or intensity of tone, are transmitted and after reception are superimposed to reproduce the original picture. Each representation is divided into a similar set of elements, and the mechanism is such that a signal is transmitted indicating the tone depth of a particular point in each element. According to the present invention, the styli or other "readers," each of which controls the transmission of one of the representations, are displaced in relation to one another, so that the particular point of each element, from which the tone depth of the latter is registered, occupies a different position in the element for each representation. These positions may be diagonally related to one another, or their relative displacement may be horizontal or vertical, or not uniform.

Title: Improvements in and relating to amusement devices
IPC: A63G31/00
Filed: 1937-11-22
Abstract: 486,913. Amusement apparatus. CRANSHOFF, (nee BOUWENS), M. T. Nov. 22, 1937, Nos. 32165 and 32166. Convention dates, Nov. 20, 1936 and May 26, 1937. [Class 132 (i)] An amusement device for creating optical illusions comprises a stationary structure limiting the field of vision of a spectator in all directions and having a sloping floor relatively to which all other visible parts of the structure are in their normal and usual positions, and means of access to the inside of the structure arranged so as to prevent the spectator visually realizing the slope of the floor so that objects in the structure appear to behave contrary to the law of gravity. Fixtures seemingly vertical or horizontal are really inclined, whilst truly vertical or horizontal objects seem to be inclined. Thus, balls can be made to appear to remain stationary on a slope, or run on a horizontal surface without motive force. A truly vertical ladder 18 is thus in unstable equilibrium, whilst a flap 19 hinged at its lower edge 20 is in stable equiblibrium, when in each case the opposite appears so. Similarly water seems to find a natural surface inclined to the horizontal. Means are provided for the spectators to enter the inclined room without being aware of the inclination, as for example an endless chain lift 30, Fig. 12. The structure may be in the form of a sloping gallery 24, Fig. 3, winding round a cone.

Title: A device for checking the oil feed from a pump to a lubrication point
IPC: G01F1/20
Filed: 1957-10-16
Abstract: 828,493. Indicating rate of fluid flow. PEDERSEN, A. Oct. 16, 1957 [Oct. 17, 1956], No. 32358/57. Class 69 (1). A device for checking the oil feed from a source of lubricating liquid to a point of delivery of the same comprises a cylinder structure 15 provided with inlet and outlet openings respectively and enclosing a freely-movable plungerlike member 16 adapted to perform a floating movement along the length of the cylinder at the rate of flow of the liquid passing between the said inlet and outlet openings, and displacement indication means associated with the plunger 16. The plunger is provided with a rod 17 which extends through the top wall of the cylinder and, at the free end, is moved along a scale 18. The plunger is provided with flow openings 20, 21 of which the opening 20 is closed by a ball valve 19 which is under the action of a spring 22, the bias of which is so chosen that the valve is kept closed when the plunger is moved upwardly under oil pressure. The indication is effected by initially moving the plunger to the bottom of the cylinder whereby the oil in the cylinder passes freely through the openings 20, 21 from one side of the plunger to the other. When the plunger rod is released the plunger will be moved upwardly by the oil passing into the cylinder 15. The distance covered by the plunger may be observed on the scale and is indicative of the oil volume which forces the plunger upwardly. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, the lower portion of the plunger is made with a slightly decreased diameter and the cylinder wall is provided with a longitudinal recess of a length greater than that of the top portion of the plunger. This allows the oil flow to pass through the recess when the plunger is in the higher positions. The plunger is provided with a valve 23 which may open downwardly by means of a valve rod extending through the plunger rod and being under the influence of a spring 18<SP>1</SP>. This enables the plunger to be carried downwardly when recording of the oil quantity is to be effected. In a further modification (Fig. 3, not shown), the cylinder is provided with supply passages to the upper and lower sides of the plunger, respectively, so that the plunger may record the oil quantity when moving in either direction.

Abstract: 618,196. Filters. CANDY, F. P. Nov. 1, 1946. No. 32436. [Class 46] For the operation, backwashing, and air-scouring, of filters of discrete materials, there are provided water nozzles having openings which are larger than the sand grains and which are protected by a packing layer, and air nozzles having openings which are smaller than the sand grains and which discharge the air into the sand above a sufficiency of the packing, the air nozzles having hollow stems which depend into the common supply of water and air and have apertures for the entry of the air. As shown in Fig. 1, a combined air and water nozzle located in a reticulation pipe 2 comprises a slotted dome 3 attached to a central member 4 screwing on to the common stem 7 and provided, with holes 5, the dome base being closed by a disc 15. The stem 7 has water openings 6 in the lower part and air openings 8, 8A in the upper part above a partition 16, the air passing out through openings 9 into an annular space 10 between the stem and a ring 11. The ring is provided with projections on its upper and lower surfaces and preferably also around its periphery to allow the air to escape but prevent the ingress of sand. The floor 1 of the filter is covered with packing material which may extend half way up the air nozzle, a layer of filtering sand being laid on top, for use with a filter having a false floor instead of a pipe reticulation system, separate air and water nozzles are provided, each having a relatively long stem, the air nozzles being set with most of the stem above the floor, the lower end being closed and lateral air-holes provided below the floor-level. The water nozzles have only the domed part above the floor-level, and the stem is open at the bottom only. This arrangement may be adopted when reticulation pipes are embedded in e.g. a concrete floor. An alternative arrangement combining air and water nozzles is shown in Fig. 4, where waste water enters by the bottom open end of the stem 7 and air by holes 8 and 8A into the stem 7A. A further combined arrangement is shown in Fig. 3, in which water enters the open end of the stem 7 and air enters through holes 8 and 8A. Specification 534,312 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Improvements in and relating to screens and screen rake mechanism for use in the treatment of sewage or other flows
Inventor: HARTLEY CYRIL JOHN
IPC: E02B8/02
Filed: 1960-09-22
Abstract: 921,546. Sifting-apparatus. HARTLEYS (STOKE-ON-TRENT) Ltd. Sept. 22, 1961 [Sept. 22, 1960], No. 32514/60. Class 117. A sewage screen has upright channel members 30 at each side and a travelling rake mechanism mounted on carriages 25 having inner wheels 27 which move up and down in the channels, each carriage carrying a pivoted lever mechanism on which the screen rate 32 is supported and which has operating rollers 37 which move in and out of the channels at suitable points in the travel and thereby impart a rocking movement to the levers by which the rake is moved in and out of engagement with the screen. The carriages 25 are secured to the ends of a cross-bar to which the lower ends of chains 22 are attached, these chains passing over sprockets 21 driven from a reversible motor 17 and over idling sprockets 51, their free ends having weights 52 attached, to balance the rake mechanism. The motor 17 is controlled by a limit switch 41 which is actuated by a tappet 40 carried by one of the chains. When the rake 33 is in its lowest position the operation of the limit switch reverses the motor 17 in a direction which raises the carriages 25. The rake 33 is carried on the ends of arms 32 of three-armed levers which are pivoted, one on each carriage, at 31. A second arm 34 carries a weight 35 which biases the rake towards the screen. On the end of the third arm 36 is a roller 37 which strikes a pivoted catch plate 46 near the top of the travel of the rake. The plate 46 is pivoted so that it allows upward movement of the roller 37 but, on the return, downward, movement, it deflects the roller 37, which passes through a suitably placed gap 45 in the channel, and pivots the three-armed lever in a direction to move the rack away from the screen. The return downward movement is caused by operation of the limit switch 41 and consequent reversal of the motor 17. Near the bottom of the travel the presence of a further gap 48 in the channel allows the weight 35 to restore the three-armed lever to its first position. The three-armed lever on the carriage at the other end of the cross-bar is similarly controlled, whereby the rake is moved to and fro as desired. When the rake is at its top position refuse may be swept into a receiver 54 by a rotary brush 55.
