Abstract: 42. Hall, E. S. Jan. 1. Bedsteads couches.-A bedstead or couch has folding framework at the head and foot, which may be extended so as to raise and support a bed 4, Fig. 1, and provide additional accommodation on a bed 3 underneath. At each end of the bed are two posts 20, shown in a partly raised position in Fig. 4, each of which is provided at its lower extremity with a roller 21 moving in a grooved bar 8, and is raised by a pivoted lever 22, which is itself raised by a thrust-bar 24 having at one end a nut 19, moved laterally by a screw 15. The grooved bars are fixed at each end to brackets 7, which support fixed end posts 6, and are clamped to the side bars 2 of the bedstead. When in the vertical position, the parts fit into each other as shown in Fig. 8, so that a rigid support is obtained. The screw shaft 15 has two oppositely threaded sections, and is supported by the end posts, and also at the middle by a yoke 17 fixed to the grooved bars. The shaft is turned by a handle, and a sprocket-wheel 18 and chain connect the two shafts. The frame is strengthened by brace bars 10 and plates 11, 12, these plates serving to conceal the framework when in the closed position. A modified form is described in which each thrust-bar is replaced by a chain, moving over guide - rollers attached to the nut and to the end post.

Title: Improvements in Sterilizing Liquids of Organic Origin and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: DESMAROUX JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-03-23
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 6438. Desmaroux, J. March 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 7907]. Beer, preserving.-Liquids such as beer are sterilized by first treating with ozonized air or oxygen, then subjecting to the action of a vacuum, and finally heating to about 115‹ C. wbi'e under pressure and out of contact with the air. The liquid is drawn into a vessel C, through which a current of ozone &c. is maintained, and in which the liquid falls in a shower, and passes to a vessel D which is exhausted through a condenser E. When the cock e is closed, a fraction of the liquid is distilled without heating, and the liquid is then put under pressure by fluid admitted above a flexible diaphragm D' and is forced through a heat-exchanger G and sterilizer H to an exhausted vessel I, from which, on the admission of nitrogen &c. through a valve x, the liquid is run into bottles which have been steam-sterilized and filled with nitrogen &c. under pressure. The liquid may be homogenized during the process. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the treatment of the liquid with nitrogen or other gas in place of ozone &c., and also the omis3ion of the preliminary treatment with gas and of the diaphragm D'. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Signalling to the Driver of a Locomotive when in Motion.
Inventor: JELF-REVELEY EDWARD PETIT
Filed: 1908-10-12
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 21,520. Reveley, E. P. Jelf-. Oct. 12. Contacts, mechanical. - Signals are given on the engine by a track contact operated with the semaphore, which engages an engine contact to close a signal circuit. The track contact consists of a cam-rail 1 with sloping ends 7 which is kept in a normally raised position by the forked end 24 of a counterweighted lever 10 pivoted on a bracket 11, contacting with the lower casing of the rail 1, which is supported on vertical rods 3 passing through tubular guides 23. The rail 1 is lowered against the action of the counterweight 14, when the semaphore is at safety, by a connexion 5 to the semaphore operating-rods. On the engine, a lever 8 is pivoted in such a position as to contact with the rail 1 when in its raised position, a roller 18 being provided on the end of the lever to make the contact. When the lever 8 is raised, its other end is depressed and passes on to and presses in a button 19 in a block 17 ; this button governs the circuit 20 of an electric bell or other signal, such as a miniature semaphore, on the engine. The lever 8 may be arranged to be latched in its lower position to keep the bell circuit 20 closed, a resetting-cord 21 being provided for the driver. Besides warning the driver of the state of the signals, the apparatus may be used to give notice of approach to dangerous curves, level crossings, &c.

Patent GB-190912309-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Appliances for Submarine Sound Signalling.
Inventor: GARDNER JOHN
IPC: G01S1/72
Filed: 1909-05-25
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 12,309. Gardner, J. May 25. Subaqueous sound signals.- A microphonic device for the reception on ships of submarine soundsignals comprises a reed or strip A, Fig. 1, preferably tuned to the frequency of the sound - waves t o be received, fixed either directly or indirectly to the wall of the ship, or to a suitable diaphragm, and parallel thereto, and carrying at its free end an electrode D of a microphone. Lateral vibrations of the ship's plate or diaphragm cause the strip to vibrate and thus alter the distance between its ends, thereby varying the resistance of the microphone. The other electrode of the microphone may be suspended by a flexible connexion from the reed itself, the microphone then acting by virtue of the inertia of the electrode; or this electrode may be carried on the end of another reed. The signals may be retrahsformed into sound-vibrations in a telephone; or the current oscillations in the microphone circuit may act on a vibratory relay, the alteration of the contact resistance of which causes a second relay with which it is in series to close a local circuit through a suitable indicating - device, as described in Specification 11,021/06. The armature of the vibratory relay is a reed N, Fig. 8, on which rests a contact O carried by a slow-moving pivoted lever P. The vibration of the reed N, which may be tuned, varies the contact resistance or causes an intermittent circuit-break at the contacts O. The direction of the sound propagation may be estimated by noting the difference in the loudness of the sound transmitted to two telephones from microphones suspended on opposite sides of the ship, or the same telephone may be alternately switched into the circuits of the two microphones. In order to damp out interfering sound-vibrations, a resistance may be placed in the telephone circuit, or the distance between the telephone diaphragm and magnet may be increased for the same purpose. Specifications 15,298/07 and 16,472/07 are also referred to.

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 18,191. Dawson, A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Aug. 6. Projectiles.-Relates to driving-bands adapted to receive augmenting-strips which are employed to compensate for the wear of the charge chamber of the gun. According to the invention, the driving- band B is constructed with a cylindrical projection having one or two ribs b<x>, and the augmenting- strip is secured in the groove formed between the two ribs, Fig. 3, or against the one rib C, Fig. 4. This construction avoids the weakening of the driving-band, which results when a groove is cut in the band itself to receive the augmenting- strip.
