Title: Improvements in Means for Atomizing Oil for Burning in Furnaces.
Inventor: WILLIS PERCY RICHARD JULIUS
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 29,526. Willis, P. R. J., [Chace, A. F., Appleton, F. H., and Appleton, F. H.]. Dec. 31. Spray burners.-Relates to means for atomizing oil and producing an intimate mixture of oil and air for burning. The oil passes through the tube d, the supply being regulated by the needle valve i, and is forced through small holes in the end section d<3> into the chamber e, which is enclosed by a wire gauze screen 7. This chamber is mounted upon the oil-supply tube, and is rotated by the action of the air current, delivered through the pipe b, upon the wind-wheel f. The oil, atomized by the rotation of the screen, is carried by the air current to the burner-supply outlet. A modification is described in the Provisional Specification, in which the air passes through the tube d and the oil is drawn through the screen.

Title: Improvements in Connectors for Electrical Conductors.
Filed: 1905-05-11
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 9908. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 11. Couplings for connecting granular conducting- bodies such as carbon brush blocks to flexible metallic conductors are made as shown in Fig. 1 by drilling a hole through the upper part of the brush and countersinking each end as shown at 4 ; a channel 5 is then by preference cut so as to form a receptacle for the shank 8 of the terminal eye on the " pig tail " 2. A tube of conducting-material such as copper is then inserted in the hole, and the end of the brush, including the projecting ends of the tube, is electroplated with copper or the like. The terminal eye is placed over one of the projecting ends, and both ends are then expanded so as to make a secure joint. Instead of using an eye terminal, the flexible conductor may be passed through a hole 12 in the clip shown in Fig. 5; the clip is then sprung out so that the projecting ends of the tube can pass into the elongated holes 13, and the ends are riveted over as before. In another form, the tube going through the carbon block and the shank'holding the flexible conductor are made in one piece, the blank for this form being shown in Fig. 7.

By means of this device, emall quantities of steam, air, and water are allowed to escape incessantly, but the full discharge of water takes place only upon abnormal accumulation.
Patent GB-190601866-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway and like Signalling Systems and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: HAWKINS LAURENCE ASHLEY
Filed: 1906-01-24
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 1866. Hawkins, L. A. Jan. 25, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Automatic systems; semaphore signals; controlling and locking signals.-In an automatic electric system, three-position signals are controlled and operated without the use of line-wires by means of a non-polarized and a polarized relay on the track and a multiple contact and a reversing-switch actuated by the signal arm. Fig. 6 shows three semaphores and their connexions in three positions ; Fig. 3 shows the switches actuated by the semaphore arm, which is operated by the rod F pinned to the disk E on the shaft D, which is driven through reducing-gear and a magnetic clutch from the motor A. The locking-magnet K when energized moves the lever I into the notches e, e<1>, to hold the arm at 'caution' or 'clear.' The arm O and the switch arm L carrying the contact-pieces m, n are fast on the shaft D. The arm P is loose on the shaft D and is joined by a tension spring to the arm Q and is moved by it so as to reverse the switch S as the semaphore moves between "danger" and "caution." The train passing on to the section R<3> de-energizes the relays T, T<p> connected to that section, thus breaking the circuit of the locking - magnet K and allowing the signal to go to " danger " under gravity and to reverse the switch S in the track circuit of the section R<2>, thereby energizing the non-polarized relay T but not the polarized relay T<p>. The circuit is thus completed through the motor A of the section R', clutch coil C, contacts m<1>, m<2>, and the tongue of the relay T. The signal is moved to 'caution' and contacts n<1>, n<2> are joined, closing the circuit to the locking-magnet K through the lower tongue of the relay T and the tongue of the relay T<P> on its lower contact. The switch S at this post is reversed by the movement of the semaphore, and connects the battery b to the track .in such a way as to energize the relay T<P> of the section R<1>, thus closing a circuit from the battery to the motor A, clutch coil C, contacts m', m<3> and the tongue of the relay T<p> on its upper contact, at the same time breaking the circuit to the locking-magnet and thus allowing the signal to be moved to 'safety.'

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Carrying and Exposing Dry Sensitive Photographic Plates or Films in the Camera.
Inventor: BALLANTINE ROBERT

Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 5926. Ballantine, R., Ballantine, A., Ballautine, H., and Linstrum, J. March 12. Dark slides; envelopes. -Means for carrying and exposing plates and films comprise an adapter containing an inner sheath holding the plate or film, an outer cover sheath open at both ends, and an envelope shutter provided with manipulating- tabs for withdrawing it through the side of the adapter to expose the plate and drawing it back again after exposure. The inner sheath B, Fig. 8, has a double light-tight cap b, and is enclosed in a cover sheath D, Fig. 14, open at both ends. The cap b overlaps the edges at one end of the sheath D. The envelope shutter C, Fig. 12, is withdrawn through the side a, Fig. 5, of the adapter by the short tab and is redrawn after exposure by the long tab c extending through the recess a<3>. This long tab c is threaded through slits d', b<1>, Fig. 14, in the sheath D and cap b respectively, and can be bent over and inserted in the slit d to prevent accidental exposure. The stop c<4> on the envelope prevents the complete withdrawal of the envelope, and indicating marks are made on the long tab c.

Abstract: 14,968. Wilson, J. H. June 29. Bottles, non-refillable.-The neck of a clear glass bottle, shaped as shown in Fig. 1, is fitted with a glass, aluminium, or white metal tube 12 through which the liquid is poured. This outlet tube is surrounded by a clear glass tube 10 forming the outer wall of a chamber 8 which contains a roll of test paper 14. The tubes are separated at the bottom by a ring of cork or rubber 19 which prevents the ingress of liquid. The tube 7 is flared as shown at its mouth 9 and is separated from the upper end of the tube 10 by a wire ring. This wire ring has projecting arms 13 which serve to separate the tubes but allow liquid to pass into the chamber when the space 4, between the tube 10 and the neck of the bottle, is filled. The mouth of the bottle is fitted with a cover 46 perforated with numerous holes 47 for the passage of the liquid when pouring. A screw 53<a> passes through the centre of the cover, and carries at its lower end a casing 36 carrying a stopper 34 of cork, rubber, or the like. The flange 37 of the casing 36 is turned downwardly, as shown, in order to prevent any liquid that may lodge on the casing from running down the stopper and entering the bottle. If any attempt is made to refill the bottle, the liquid first fills the space 4 and then enters the chamber 8, causing the paper 14 to change colour. In a modification, the test paper or dye substance is contained in small tubes attached to the outer surface of the outlet tube.
