Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 4541. Elektromilitara Aktiebolaget. March 8, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telephones. - In an arrangement of diaphragms and mouthpiece for long-distance telephony when both transmitter and receiver are mounted on a common handle, in order to eliminate the effect not only of the air waves but also of the local sound waves set up in the hollow handle of the instrument, two diaphragms a, b, between which the carbon c'is placed, are mounted in the central plane of the mouthpiece. The true sound waves will cause both diaphragms to move simultaneously towards or away from one another, while those reflected from the walls of thehandler travel more or less obliquely and move both diaphragms in the same direction. In Fig. 1, the diaphragm a is shown connected to the metal casing d, and the diaphragm b on other hand insulated from it by the ring e. Inside the diaphragm b is mounted a conducting- ring h, and inside this a conducting-ring i having a tongue k. The receiver is in the casing m provided with a contact-pie--e l bearing against the tongue k.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Making Confectionery.
Inventor: KNORPP PHILIP
Filed: 1905-04-11
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 7734. Knorpp, P. April 11. Moulding confectionery.-Paste is fed from a receptacle by means of a plunger through vertical nozzles into moulds supported on a verticallyreciprocating table. The machine may also be used for extruding paste through suitable dies instead of through the nozzles. A standard A', supported on a frame A, is provided with a bracket B', which embraces and supports the paste receptable B. A valved vent pipe Q allows air to escape when the plunger C is being lowered into contact with the paste. The plunger rod C' passes through a guide b, and is operated by a counterbalanced handlever D, pivoted to a pin d which turns in a perforated ear d', thus allowing the lever and plunger to be swung round horizontally when the receptacle is being filled with paste. A pivoted plate b is raised to allow the plunger row C' to leave the guide b. The toothed rod C<1> is guided in a keeper k and actuated by spring pawls k<1>, pivoted at the upper front and lower rear corners of the keeper, respectively. The pawls are kept out of engagement with the teeth, when necessary, by pins. The lever D is forked to embrace the keeper k, connexion being made by pins k' on the keeper, sliding in slots k<3> in the forked parallel portions of the lever to allow the necessary play. During the rising of the plunger, the friction is sufficient to prevent it from descending again between the up-strokes of the lever. The mould table E is mounted on a vertical rod E<1>, guided in sleeves e, e on brackets E<2> secured to transverse supporting-plates E<4>. The table is raised to bring nozzles n, at the bottom of the receptacle B, into the moulds, as shown in Fig. 7, by means of a hand-wheel, which operates a pinion f and rack f<4>. A ratchet-wheel and a pawl, pivoted to lugs on the upper supporting-plate E<4>, lock the platform in position. A weighted lever E<5> tends to lift the platform E, the motion of which is regulated by adjustable stops g<2>. The moulds m, Fig. 6, made of plaster of paris, are arranged on a frame M, which has a raised rim and is retained in proper position on the table E by stationary or adjustable stops x. The longitudinal mould sections are locked in position by wedges m<1>, inserted between the moulds and a front cleat m<2>. By the use of suitable dies in place of the nozzles n, material may be extruded on to confectionery &c. for ornamenting purposes.

Title: Electric Incandescence Lamp with Filament of Metallic Tungsten.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1905-09-18
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 18,814. Thompson, W. P., [Deutsche Gasgl³hlicht Akt.-Ges. (Auer Ges.)]. Sept. 18. Incandescent lamps.-Filaments of tungsten are made in such a manner that, when white hot and using 1À5 watts per candle-power, they have a resistance which is nine or more times as great as at ordinary temperatures, and does not vary much with their long usage. According to one method, tungstic acid is reduced by heating in a current of hydrogen, and the fine metallic powder thus obtained made into a paste with an organic binding-material such as a stiff mixture of gum solution and caramel. Filaments squirted from this paste are heated first to a red-heat, without access of air, to render them conductive, and then electrically in an atmosphere of hydrogen containing small quantities of gases, such as water vapour, which remove carbon at a red-heat, the temperature being increased till a white-heat is obtained. Deformation of the filaments at this stage is to be avoided. A final heating to an extreme white-heat is then performed in a gas of low heat conductivity, such as nitrogen, or in a vacuum.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop-motion Mechanism for Looms for Weaving
Inventor: WOJCIECHOWSKI JAKOB
Filed: 1906-01-30
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 2319. Wojciechowshi, J., and Pluzanski, R. Jan. 30. Loom stop - motions.- Warp stopmotion mechanism comprises a bar 4, which has comb teeth 6 and is mounted across the loom above the warps. A slide 7 is reciprocated on the bar 4 by an attached rod 17 and guided cords 19 connectea to a suitable device, which also serves through guided cords 27 to reciprocate an air tube 22 in unison with the slide below the warps. The tube 22 slides within a fixed tube 25, which has upper and lower longitudinal slots, and compressed air is supplied to the tube 22 through a pipe 23 which passes through the lower slot in the tube 25. The compressed air is blown upwards against the warps through an orifice 24 in the tube 22 and through the upper slot in the tube 25, and if a warp is broken its end is forced between the teeth 6 and between the lower pointed ends of a lever 11, which is pivoted on a pin 10 mounted in extensions on the slide 7, and a looped spring 13 secured to the lever 11. This lever is normally maintained by gravity with an extension 16 upon it pressing a pin 15 on a stoplever 14 against a projection 9 on the slide, the lever 14 bting pivoted on the pin 10 and having its hub formed as an eccentric. When a warp end is blown upwards, it is gripped between the lever 11 and the spring 13 and is drawn tight as the slide 7 moves to the right. The lever 11 is thereby drawn towards a vertical position, and the extension 16 moves downwards and allows the stop-lever 14 to turn, so that its eccentric hub forces a fixed wire 31 against the slide, thus braking the motion of the slide. The stoppage of the slide serves through suitable mechanism to stop the loom, and the operative can from the position of the slide locate the broken warp. In broad looms, two or more slides 7 may be employed, the tube 22 having a corresponding number of orifices 24. The device is stated to be applicable for all kinds of threads, for instance for silk threads in weaving plush and like fabrics.

Title: Improvements in Automatically Controlled Valves for the Discharge of Liquids from Tanks or the like.
Filed: 1906-06-06
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 13,062. Mather & Platt, and Whyte, L. June 6. Actuating valves; liquids, regulating flow of.- Relates to means for automatically operating controlling-valves by means of which a group of tanks can be repeatedly discharged, the height of the liquid in one tank controlling the action of the controlling and discharge valves of a neighbouring tank. The invention may be applied to the type of valve described in Specification No. 2420, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Closets &c.], and is applicable where apparatus described in Specification No. 12,287, A.D. 1901, would not be suitable. In an arrangement, shown in Fig. 1, for two tanks, one tank (not shown) is assumed to be filling, while the tank B is full and awaiting discharge. The first tank is connected by pipes P with float chambers C<1>, C' each containing a float F<1>, F<2>, respectively, operating two valves V<1>, V<2> arranged in separate compartments D', D<2>. As the tank fills, the liquid rises first in the float chamber C<1> and next in the chamber C<2>, thereby operating consecutively the floats F<1>, F<2> and operating the valves V<1>, V<2>. When the valve V<1> opens, fluid from the full tank B passes through the pipes P<1>, P<2>, and through the flexible tube P<3> into a chamber K which is thereby caused to overbalance the weighted lever supporting it and to open the valve in the discharge pipe W. When the valve V<2> is operated, the liquid in the chamber K is drained away and the discharge valve is allowed to close. The floats and valve return to their initial positions as the liquid empties from the chambers C<1>, C' consequent on the emptying of the tank A. In a modification, the floats operate the valves V<1>, V<2> placed on one spindle through one lever only, the lower float after its first movement becoming submerged. The lower valve V<2> is loose on the valve spindle between two stops so as to be operated some time after the valve V<1>. In a further modification, the two floats F<1>, F' are arranged in a single float chamber, the upper float being supported by a stop on the side of the chamber until the liquid rises to a sufficient height to float it.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Means for Automatically Breaking an Electric Circuit in the Event of a Leakage to Earth or giving an Indication of said Leakage.
Filed: 1907-03-11
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 5865. Nalder Bros. & Thompson, Harris, A. F., Jones, R. J. Wallis-, and Cox, o. March 11. i Switches. -In a leakage detector, two coils on the same spindle in magnetic fields are supplied with current from each main, and are normally balanced. When an earth connexion occurs, the balance is disturbed, and a contact is made which closes the circuit of the tripping coil of a cut-out. The two coils a', b<1> are in the fields of magnets a<2>, b<2>, and are connected in parallel with small resistances a<3>, b<3>. The coils are on a spindle, preferably divided and; carrying an arm c<1> on an insulating-piece c. The coils are held in a central position by a spring a<o>,' the arm c<1> being held in the centre of the fork d<1>. When an earth connexion occurs, the torque on one coil is increased, and the arm c<1> makes contact with one side of the fork d<1>, thus completing the circuit of the solenoids f. The solenoids are on a soft-iron core e, pivoted at e<2> and carrying contact-strips e<3> to dip into mercury cups e<4>. When a leakage causes the solenoids to become energized, the core is moved a little way and then carried backwards by the weight e<5>, thus breaking the main circuit. The switch may be closed by jerking the handle h<2>, which cannot reach far enough to hold the switch closed. If the leak still exists, the switch is at once thrown back. The switch may be enclosed in a box. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, the two coils a<1>, b<1> are placed in two gaps in the same magnetic field. Two tumbler switches i, j are connected in the main b, and another k in the lead a. The handles k<1>, j<1> are connected together, and are moved to the #off' position by a spring m when a detent n is tripped by an electro-magnet o. To close the switches, the handle i<1>, which is connected to the handle. j<1> by a slotted link p, is moved outwards. This moves the switches k, j to their ' on' positions, and the switch i to its #off' position. The handle i<1> is then pressed back, leaving the switches free to open if the leak still exists. If desired, the switch may be dispensed with, and the arm c<1> made to act as a pointer to indicate a leak.
