Title: Improvements in Means for Admitting Gas to Closed Vessels Containing Liquid.
Inventor: CRICK EDWARD HERBERT
IPC: A62C13/00
Filed: 1912-11-07
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 25,572. Crick, E. H. Nov. 7. Direct gas-pressure apparatus, non-automatic.- For admitting gas to a closed vessel for delivering the liquid contents under pressure, a gas-container 7 is supported by the stopper 1 within the vessel, and the valve of the gas container is opened by hand by pressure on a flexible diaphragm 4. If the pressure inside the vessel is too high, the diaphragm 4 becomes distended so as to prevent the valve from being opened.

Patent GB-191228198-A (GB)
Title: Machine for Picking Out the Auxiliary Threads from Lace.
Inventor: BUSCHER HERMANN
IPC: D04C3/48
Filed: 1912-12-06
Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 28,198. Buscher, H. Dec. 6. Lace.-Relates to a machine for cutting and drawiug-out the threads connecting the edges of lace made on braiding-machines. The fabric 1 is gaided step by step over a mandrel carrying shears 2 which cut the drawthreads and convert the tubular fabric into a flat fabric with loose threads and loops adjacent the selvedges. The fabric passes the flattened rear end 3 of the mandrel and under a longitudinal clamping-bar 6 carrying a rubber strip. The selvedges pass between the jaws of two series of grippers 5, which are caused periodically to advance to close on the fabric and to withdraw, thus pulling out the loose threads. The lower jaw of each gripper is integral with a rear portion, which is guided in supports 8, 9 and advanced horizontally by arms 18 operated by eccentrics 17 on shafts 14, 16. The upper jaw of each gripper is operated by cam 19 through levers 21 pivoted at 20, a series of bell-cranks 24 on the axle 20, rods 22, and saddles 23. The ends of the levers 21 and the bell-c anks 24 are connected together by bars 25 and adjustable springs 11 so that the jaws of the grippers close resiliently. The grippers also seize the uncut loops of the drawthreads and draw them across pairs of comb-like shears 12. When the grippers come to rest and the bridge-piece 6 rises to allow the lace to be fed forward, the shears 12 rise also, and one shear blade of each pair is also moved horizontally to cut these loops. The hanging threads are subsequently drawn out by the grippers.

Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 12,831. Alcock, F. A. June 2. Time checks and time registers. - Relates to a pneumatic arrangement whereby the removal of an obstruction from a billiard table starts a clock which, besides timing the game, actuates a counter for registering the total hours the table is in use. The obstruction B which may be the table cover is attached to one side of the table and terminates in a plug B' which is inserted in the socket of a pneumatic push appliance at the other side of the table. The plug pushes back a spring-pressed piston B<3> which by means of a pneumatic tube C brings a spring brake C' into contact with the balance wheel C<3> of the clock and renders the latter inoperative. A hand-operated catch B' retains the plug in position. On withdrawing the plug, the spring-pressed piston B<3> and the spring brake C' are retracted and the clock is set in operation. A counter E<1> is moved once every hour by means of gearing connected to the hour gear of the clock.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
Inventor: BARNUM THOMAS EDSON
IPC: H01H71/68
Filed: 1914-11-12
Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 22,435. Barnum, T. E., and Date, W. E. Nov. 13, 1913, [Convention date]. Electro - magnectic switches.-A switch is operated by two separate and opposing electro-magnets excited by the same line current and having different characteristics, so that the contact member closes when the current is between certain limits and is held open when the current is above or below the limits. In the construction shown, a pivoted switch member 1 carrying a contact 5 is attracted on the closing side by a solenoid 2, and on the opening side by a solenoid 3. The magnetic circuits of the solenoids are so designed that the effect of the solenoid 2 predominates at lower excitations, and that of the solenoid 3 at higher excitations. When no current is flowing in the line, the switch assumes the open position under gravity, and when a strong current flows, above the designed limit, the preponderating effect of the magnet 3 holds the switch open. If the current gradually falls off in strength, the point is reached at which the upper magnet preponderates, the switch then closing. The open position of the member 1 is determined by a stop-lug 13, and the armature 21 of the electro-magnet 3 is mounted on a screw-threaded stud 22 which can be turned in its socket so as to vary the air-gap, thereby varying the current at which the switch closes. Switches constructed according to the invention are employed as contactors in a motor control system for progressively short-circuiting resistance sections in a known manner.

Abstract: 23,814. Jaconelli, J. Dec. 9. Tivoli billiards and the like.-An open-ended tube p, pivoted intermediate its length at q, is adapted to be rocked by the player from an external knob 4 in order to catch a ball, previously projected by depressing a handle j, as it descends between deflecting-pins n, and to conduct it to a fixed cup o leading to a prizedelivery mechanism. The rotary knob 4 is connected to the tube p through a crank 2, link z, bell-crank lever x, and linkage w, v. A weight 5 normally serves to maintain the tube vertical. The insertion of a coin serves to withdraw a stop e permitting the ball or balls to pass to a sliding stop g, which is raised by rotating a hand-wheel h to permit the balls to pass one by one to the projector j. If the operator is unsuccessful, the ball passes by a. slope r to the stop e; a winning ball, however, returns through an aperture u to the stop g so as to permit a further operation of the apparatus.

Abstract: 7335. Baumann, K. May 15. [Cognate Application, 9144/15.] Feed-water, heating.- In a direct-contact heater having a barometric leg, a float valve is provided in the feed-supply pipe to prevent flooding of the heater and of the source of low - pressure steam should, say, the discharge pump fail. The valve 13 in the feed-supply pipe 8 is so operated by a float 14 in a chamber 15 in communication with the steam and water spaces of the heater 5 as to reduce or cut off the feed - supply when the water level in the heater rises above a certain height. The feed then passes through a by-pass 18 fitted with a non-return valve, to the discharge pipe 12 of the discharge pump 11. In a modification in which the heater has an atmospheric discharge, the by-pass 18 dips into the water seal at the bottom of the barometric leg. As an additional safeguard against failure of the discharge pump, the heater may be provided with an overflow pipe fitted with a float or loaded valve and opening into the condenser or other part under vacuum in the system.

Abstract: Quick determination of sex in papaya at seedling stage can be carried out by using 3 reagents viz., 2 drops of 5 M KOH solution + 2 drops of folin phenol reagent as identification reagents whereas 1 drop of phenolphthone reagent as confirmation reagent. Tissue of petiole of papayas seedling react with these reagent to produce test reaction within 3-4 minutes for female plant and within 7-8 min. for male plant. Such biochemical test is not available to determine/identify/differentiate sex in papaya. This biochemical test can be used by papaya seedling growers or papaya farmers to identify the male or female plants at seedling stage itself and therefore has commercial value and therefore needs patent.
