Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Cooking Fruit and other Articles by Steam.
Inventor: ROBERTS FERDINAND CHARLES
IPC: A47J27/04
Filed: 1909-06-26
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 14,894. Roberts, F. C. June 26. Steam cooking-apparatus.-Fruit, vegetables, &c. are cooked by steam passed through each article from the inside. The apparatus comprises a steam-generator 1, fitted with a steamtight cover 6 having a rim 10, which supports a preferably glass casing 11 closed by a lid 12. The cover 6 is formed with a socket 13, in which telescopes a perforated tube 18 provided with a cap 20; it supports a perforated shelf 15, and is furnished with drain-holes 14. When the apparatus is used, the fruit &c. is cored so as to fit closely around the tube 18, and the cap 20 is pushed in to close all holes above the fruit. In a modification suitable for steaming rice and other substances in bulk, the tube 18 is replaced by a small perforated cap, and the shelf 15 by a screen having arms, to steady it against the casing, and a raised centre to fit the cap. An apparatus for cooking several articles simultaneously is also described. The steam may be obtained from an outside source connected to the tube 18.

Title: An Improved Device for Grinding and Sharpening the Teeth of Abrasive Files.
Inventor: NOTCUTT WALTER PERRY
IPC: B24B19/18
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 15,322. Notcutt, W. P. June 30. Disk aad wheel apparatus. - A machine for grinding and sharpening the teeth of files in which the teeth are in the form of arcs of circles comprises an abrading-disk mounted on a pin arranged m a plane parallel with the face of the file, and supported in such a manner as to permit of its adjustment towards or away from the file by a longitudinally adjustable member, which is arranged at right-angles to the axis of the abrading-disk, and is revolubly supported from the frame of the machine. The disk g<1> is mounted on a spindle, one end of which is secured between plates f and the other end in a head d' of a rod d; the rod is rotatably mounted in a sleeve c' carried by an adjustable arm c mounted on a pillar b<1> arranged on the machine frame. The plates f support a vertically-movable rod h carrying the adjusting- plate h' to ensure proper engagement of the disk with the file teeth, and also carrying the guide h<4> for the belt which rotates the disk through the drum g ; the rod h is vertically adjustable by means of a screw h<6>. The file x is mounted on a carriage i running on wheels i<1> on the machine bed a. The rod d is adjusted to be perpendicular to the line of centres of the teeth, and the disk is adjusted to follow the arc of the teeth ; it is then traversed across the teeth, being movable about the vertical axis d. The apparatus may be adapted to sharpen curved teeth on half-round files by mounting the disk so that its vertical axis is in a line with the vertically rotatable rod d, Fig. 7, and the file is mounted on a rotatable bed l, Fig. 10, which may also move longitudinally. When being sharpened, the file is so moved as to pass a tooth under the disk, which rotates about its vertical axis to follow the edge of the tooth.

Patent GB-190917086-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Casting Stereotype Printing Plates.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: B41D5/00
Filed: 1909-07-22
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 17,086. Lock, W. H., [Wood, H. A. W.]. July 22. Stereotype.-Apparatus having an upright core and drag, for casting curved stereotype plates, is adapted to deliver the cast plate with its straight edges downward. The device comprises a frame 10 formed with rails 11 for accommodating the rolls 12, which support the water-jacketed concave mould-member or drag 13. The drag 13 is moved to and from the casting position by a toggle 17, 18 actuated by a handle 16, as described in Specification 13,938/05. The mould core is furnished with rockers 25 which bear on ways 26 on the frame, and is controlled in its motion to and from the casting position by a cycloidal slot 27 in engagement with a roll 28 on the frame. The core is held in the casting position by a latch 21 engaging behind lugs 23 on the framing, the handle 24 serving both to unlock the mould and move the core. After a plate has been cast, the drag 13 is moved away from the core to free the matrix from the cast plate. The core is then turned over on its rockers 25 into a position in alinement with a series of rollers 44 for receiving the plate. As the core reaches this position, an arm 30 contacts with a stop 31, and, by means of a bell-crank 34 and a rod 35 releases the mould wall 36 from the bottom of the plate. At the same time, an arm 40 operates a series of rollers 43, which engage the edge of the plate and lift it clear of the ribs on the core. The plate then runs by gravity on to the rollers 44, when it is arrested by a stop. On the return of the core into the casting position, the rollers 43 are re-set by roller 47 engaging a stationary cam 49.

Abstract: 19,371. Ostermann, H. C. Aug. 23. Hand actuation.- The vertical brake-operating shaft of railway or road vehicles is arranged to be turned down into an horizontal position, and is adapted to be operated in either position, the invention being specially applicable to flat cars so as to permit the loads thereon to project out beyond the ends of the car without interfering with the operation of the brakes. The operating-shaft 1 with the usual hand-wheel 2 has its lower end mounted in a bearing 4, which is adapted to rotate in a bearing on the car, so that the shaft may be turned to the position shown in dotted lines. The shaft passes through holes 16, 17, Fig. 5, in a plate 10, which is of the shape shown and has notches 12, 14 to engage a curved guide-rod 7. The shaft is retained in the extreme positions by the engagement of the plate 10 with a notch at the upper end and a loop 9 at the lower end of the rod 7. The plate 10 carries a pawl 18 engaging a ratchet-wheel 8<1> keyed to the shaft.

Abstract: 25,646. Manners, S. Nov. 4. Colour photography; chromo - gelatine processes.-The temporary paper support used in re-assembling multi-coloured prints is cut so that its greatest stretch, when wet, is across its narrowest width. For large prints the temporary support consists of two pieces secured at right - angles. The temporary paper support consists of white demy paper coated on one side with a solution of: -gelatine (Coignet's) one part, hard gelatine (Heinrich's) one part, sugar or glycerine one part, and water about twenty parts, the sugar or glycerine being added to make the paper pliable when dry. This paper is first soaked and then squeegeed on to each coloured carbon print in the usual manner. For large prints, or prints with full details to the edges, when the soaked temporary paper is squeegeed on to the first carbon colour print, another piece or strip of paper, similarly treated and soaked but cut so that its longest stretch will be at right-angles to the first piece, is then squeegeed on to the first piece. Cloth or muslin may be used in place of the second piece of paper. Temporary paper supports may be manufactured in two pieces adhering together with their longest stretch at right-angles by using Agar-Agar, gum, or other colloid rendered insoluble to water by adding bichromate of potash and exposing to light, or by using simply gelatine or chrome alum.
