Title: Improvements in Flushing Cisterns for Closets and other Purposes.
Inventor: ADAMS MOSES JAMES
Filed: 1899-06-09
Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 12,027. Adams, M. J. June 9. Water-waste preventers, tipping-tank. The ball cock discharges into a tank G, which can be tipped by a handle H into a hopper D. The tank G overflows into a compartment W, in which the ballcock float K works, and in which is fitted the discharge siphon M.

Patent GB-189924748-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture or Production of Sulphuric Anhydride and Means to be Employed therein.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/79
Filed: 1899-12-12
Granted: 1900-09-22
Abstract: 24,748. Johnson, G. W., [Verein Chemischer Fabriken and Clemn, A.]. Dec. 12. Sulphuric anhydride. - Consists in combining two known methods of manufacture, namely passing sulphurous-acid gas over (1) divided platinum, and (2) burnt pyrites or similar substance containing ferric oxide. The latter process is described in Specification No. 17,266, A.D. 1898. The gases obtained by roasting pyrites with the admission of previously-dried air are passed once over the heated burnt pyrites or like substance, and then, after dry filtering, over the divided platinum. No cooling is necessary in the latter stage. To filter the gases, they are passed through granular porous substances or fibrous or felted fabrics of acidproof and fireproof material, such as of pumicestone or asbestos. The platinum contact mass is preferably used as a platinized grating or network or fabric carried by a frame or frames within the contact chamber.

Title: Improvements in Filters.
Inventor: REED RUDOLPH CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1901-01-08
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 427. Reed, R. C., Judig, H., and Hirsch, S. Jan. 8. Pressure filters; cleansing; filters of similar filterang-units.-The filter comprises a series of porous plates having the opposing faces formed alternately with straight passages 3, and ribs 7 forming tortuous passages. The water is supplied to the latter passages by slotted pipes 8, and, filtering through the plates, is discharged by the passages 3 into slotted pipes 4 connected to the discharge 6. When the supply is at sufficient pressure, the filtered water may be led into a tank under air pressure, and is then available for a reverse cleansing flow, the wash-water being discharged by pipes 10. In cleansing the channels 3, the wash-water is discharged by pipes 11. The joints between the stones, and the stones and pipes, are made by cement. In a modification, the plates are held together by pressure, one of the sides of the casing being detachable and under the pressure of a screw. The plates may be rectangular, as shown, or circular. The plates may be made of infusorial earth.

Title: Improvements in Staple Forming and Driving Mechanism
Inventor: HYDE GEORGE THOMAS
Filed: 1902-06-10
Granted: 1902-09-04
Abstract: 13,159. Hyde, G. T., [Benjamin, A. N.]. June 10. Bending.-Relates to mechanism for making and inserting wire staples. Box hinges are formed by driving in two staples at right-angles to one another by duplex mechanism such as that shown in Fig. 7. The wire is fed through a hole 41 between the channelled guides 13, 14 so as to lie transversely to these guides. The guide 13 is fixed to the bedplate 1 and the guide 14 slides longitudinally in the channel 3 against the action of a spring 17. The wire is bent against the end of the guide 14 by the blade 21, Fig. 4, on the lever 19 pivoted at 20 to a reciprocating block 7 sliding on the bar 6. On the first motion of the block and lever 19 backwards, the guide 14 also moves backwards till it reaches a stop 16, the wire is then bent to staple form and the guide 14 is pulled forward by the spring 17. The blade 21 is now raised from the slot 12 and placed behind the staple to act as a driver. This is done by actuating the lever 19 by a tripping-device 23, 24. The mechanism on the left of the Figure is slightly varied to drive its staple s at right-angles to the first. The blocks 7, 7<1> are reciprocated by links 40 connected to the bell-crank lever 37, 38 on the rock-shaft 36. The wire is cut off by a knife actuated by a cam or a rock-shaft provided with a forked arm against which the roller 33 strikes.
