Title: Improvements relating to Telephone Transmitters.
Filed: 1906-05-05
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 10,603. Lake, H. H., [Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Co.]. May 5. Telephones.-In telephone transmitters of the microphone type, in which the electrodes are arranged side by side, the electrodes are secured to an auxiliary diaphragm of mica or the like, to which the main diaphragm is rigidly connected. The main framework comprises a front wall 1, a cover 3, and a bridge-piece 2 having its central portion offset to receive the electrode-chamber 6, which, by means of a projection 15 thereon, is adjustably secured in place. The electrode chamber consists of a back-plate 14, screwing on a ring 18, and clamping a carbon plate 20, the front being formed by a mica diaphragm 21, held in place by a ring 19, and rigidly secured to the main diaphragm 7 by a connecting-piece 23, terminating in a plate 22. The electrodes 35, 36 are conductively mounted on semicircular or segmental plates 29, which are insulated by a ridged plate 27, and are provided with screwed projections 33, securing them to the diaphragm 21 and the supporting-plate 22, and also serving as connexions for the battery wires. The projections 31 are insulated, if necessary, from the plate 22, and are connected to terminals 40 on the bridge-piece. In a modification, the electrode chamber is reversed, the plate 14 being secured to the diaphragm 7. The carbon plate 20 may be mounted on a third flexible diaphragm, and the electrodes may be movable relatively.

Patent GB-190625727-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Furnaces.
Inventor: GREIS JACOB
Filed: 1906-11-14
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 25,727. Greis, J. Nov. 14. Air supply, regulating.-Means are provided in connexion with a turbine-driven airsupply fan for cutting off the supply of steam to the turbine after a certain period. The apparatus is mounted on the fire - door of the furnace, and the turbine and the fan a are carried on the same shaft e. Steam from a pipe o passes through a valve i and pipe to a channel c formed in the fan casing b, the air passing through the fan being thus heated before injection into the furnace. From the channel c, a portion of the steam passes into the furnace through a valve f and nozzle g, while the remainder is supplied to the turbine through a pipe p. Exhaust steam passes out through a pipe q and may be used for cooling the fire-bars. After the fire-door has been closed, a lever k is lifted on to a screw-threaded drum l, allowing the spring-controlled regulating-valve i to open. The turbine is set in motion, driving the fan a, and operating worm gearing s, t, u, v, to the last wheel of which the drum l is fixed. The lever k thus moves slowly along the screw, and eventually falls, closing the valve i. The time during which the valve remains open is determined by the initial position of the lever k on the screw l. When the fire-door is opened, a valve o<2> operated by its hinge spindle cuts off steam from the valve i and admits it to a pipe o<5> above the fire, in order to prevent smoke during stoking.

Patent GB-190709045-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Loading Guns of Large Calibre.
Inventor: MARZARI ETIENNE CHARLES LOUIS
Filed: 1907-04-18
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 9045. Marzari, E. C. L. April 18. Loading - appliances; ordnance breech mechanism.-The rammer consists of a bent arm a mounted so as to slide in the breech of the gun, and connected to a rod d which bears at its forward end upon the spring c. During the recoil, the rammer a is carried rearwards, the spring c is compressed, and, at the same time, a latch k springs into position to prevent the return of the rammer with the gun. To effect the loading, the rammer is turned by the hand-lever e, from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, into line with the bore of the gun. An arm f which rotates with the rammer effects the release of the latch k so that the rammer is free to be shot forwards, to throw the projectile into the breech, by the spring c. At the forward end of its stroke the rammer engages with, and releases, the latch h, which retains the parts in position for loading, whereupon the rammer is again swung aside by the spring g.

Abstract: 15,358. B÷ttcher, A. F. C. July 3, 1906, [date applied for, under Patents Act, 1901]. Rope railways.-In rope railways for workshops, storeyards, or slipway crane apparatus, where the suspending-posts must lie farther apart than the supporting-ropes, the latter are suspended at each end by pairs of ropes, fixed to, or secured with variable length to the posts. Figs. 4 and 5 show the latter arrangement, the supporting-ropes a being suspended by ropes f, g passed round pulleys D, u and secured to sliding blocks m<1>, m<2>. These blocks are caused to approach or recede from one another by a right and left handed screw spindle s operated by an electromotor e through worm gearing, thereby adjusting the distance between the ropes a.

Title: Apparatus for and Method of Bottling Malt and other Liquors.
Inventor: HOWORTH FRANKLIN WISE
Filed: 1907-11-18
Granted: 1908-12-18
Abstract: 25,545. Howorth, F. W., [Globe Machine and Stopper Co.]. Nov. 18. Hand-pumps.-Relates to a hand pump applied to bottling-apparatus of the type described in Specification No. 9146, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Stoppering &c.]. The lower end of the filling-tube 35, Fig. 1, is closed by a plug, above which are lateral ports adapted to direct the beer &c. against the sides of the bottle and so prevent foaming. The ports are opened and closed by a sliding valve 41 during the reciprocation of the tube. The filling-tube is loosely connected at its upper end to a sleeve 50, Figs. 1 and 3, adapted to be operated by a bell-crank hand-lever 58, a pin 56 on the short arm of which is adapted to engage a hook 55 on a link 54 depending from the sleeve 50. The hub of the hand-lever has a ratchet face by which it may be thrown into gear with a ratchet 62 on the shaft 59 on which it is mounted, and which is formed as a pinion adapted to engage a rack on the die-stock 17. In operation, the hand-lever when moved in one direction, engages the hook 56 and draws down the filling- tube, pushing the bottle capping-die aside. When the lever is reversed and returned to its normal position, it raises the filling-tube again, allowing the die to come into operative position, and then releases the hook 55. Further movement of the lever in the reverse direction engages it with its shaft 59 and lowers the die-stock 17, by the rack and pinion gearing, to effect the capping operation.

Abstract: 25,506. Falconer, J. Nov. 5. [Cognate Application, 28,975/09.] Knobs, attaching.-A door knob a, Fig. 1, is secured to an unscrewed square spindle g by providing it with an irregularly-shaped flange b, which is passed through a similarly-shaped opening f in a division plate e of a rose-plate d. The rose-plate is then turned sufficiently to prevent the parts from being disengaged by the turning of the handle, thus causing the division plate e to take into a groove c behind the flange b. The rose-plate is then secured by screws. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the handle is secured rotatably to the rose-plate, and is provided with a squared recess h<1>, which engages a separated part of a collar j<1> having a flange i<1> similar to the flange b. The collar j<1> is first screwed on to the spindle, the corners of which are threaded, until it is close up to the door and has its faces parallel with those of the spindle. The knob and rose-plate are next slipped on, and the rose turned, to allow the flange i<1> tu pass through the spring f, and then given a further turn and secured to the door. The modification shown in Fig. 6 is similar to that shown in Fig. 3, except that the rose and knob in this case are also secured by an irregular flange and hole as shown in Fig. 1.
