Patent GB-189915585-A (GB)
Title: Improved Permutation Lock.
Inventor: SCHOELLER OTTO
Filed: 1899-07-29
Granted: 1899-12-02
Abstract: 15,585. Schoeller, O. July 29. Locks, permutation.-The bolt A, as shown in section in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is carried in a support B attached to a plate C, which is fixed,for example, to part of a cupboard. This bolt has projections a corresponding to as many pairs of rings R, r surrounding the support B. Each pair of rings is coupled together as shown in Fig. 3, by a spring d having a slightly-raised point or knob f, which causes the inner and outer rings to move together when there is only a small resistance, but allows the outer ring to move independently when the inner one is firmly held. The inner rings have annular recesses g, in which the projections a of the bolt lie when it is shot, as shown in Fig. 2, and they also have notches i which must all be set in line in order to withdraw the bolt as shown in Fig. 1. When the bolt is thus withdrawn, the rings r are firmly held, and the outer rings R, which are marked with numbers, can be set at any desired permutation. In a modification, the rings R, r are arranged side by side, the rings r being fixed, while the projections a are formed on discs rotatable on the bolt.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Street Gas Lamps.
Inventor: JACKSON JAMES
Filed: 1899-10-27
Granted: 1900-06-09
Abstract: 21,457. Jackson, J. Oct. 27. Street lamps. The lighting of incandescent, argand, and other burners provided with glass chimneys is facilitated by forming the upper part K of the lantern with an inner lining 0, from which a separate depending tube P fits over the glass chimney I of each burner. Each burner may thus be independently lit by raising the corresponding hinged and weighted flap S with the igniting- torch, the force of the explosion at the instant of ignition being minimized by the escape of the gases through apertures T formed in the lower part of the tubes P. Normally, the products of combustion ascend the tubes P, pass beneath the deflector R, and escape through the holes k and the bead K without entering the body of the lantern, while the air supply enters through the holes k<1>, and descends round the edges of the reflector U to the burners.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Manufacture of Cement.
Inventor: GOSTLING JOHN CUBITT
Filed: 1899-11-11
Granted: 1900-12-11
Abstract: 22,549. Gostling, J. C., Fraser, J. H., and Booth, R. Nov. 11. Cement kilns.-Relates to apparatus for cement manufacture in which the slurry is dried and burnt while passing through an inclined rotary kiln 1 heated by means of a mixture of combustible gas or vapour and air. The gas &c. is supplied from a main 29 to a passage 30 provided with an opening 32, and the air is directed by a pipe 31 into the preliminary mixing and combustion chamber 4. The regenerative principle is employed to obtain a higher temperature in the kiln. The burnt cement falling from the discharge opening 3 is directed by a hopper 15 into the spaces 13<a>, at the bottom of which are plates or shelves 17 on which reciprocate slides 18 which push the material into trucks 16. The slides are reciprocated by suitable levers and cams from the rotary kiln. The spaces 13<a> are enclosed by walls 6, which may consist either of corrugated air-heating boxes or of gridlike series of tubes. Air supplied by the fan 11 passes through the air-heating devices, which may be fitted with baffle-plates &c. so as to lengthen the path of the air current, and the heated air passes to the nozzle 31 through the pipe 12.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Bevelling Half-tone or like Printing Plates.
Inventor: ROYLE VERNON
Filed: 1900-01-23
Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 1444. Royle, V. Jan. 23. Planing and shaping. - Relates to an attachment for bevelling-machines for operating on the margins of halftone or other plates, to cause them to print one or more marginal lines of a desired spacing. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the table A, clamp C, bevelling-guide B, cutter spindle D, rocking cutter head E, and sector mechanism K, I are of any ordinary construction. The block G carries a turret l<3>, on which are split screwed sockets l<6> with adjustable screwed sleeves m, in which are secured spindles N, Figs. 8 and 9. Each spindle has an arm non which a tool o is clamped by a plate P, the tool, arm, and plate having offsets to aid in securing the tool. The arm is pressed down by a finger-piece n<2> to cut one line on the plate, the depth of cut being regulated by a spring Q engaged by a screw and pin q. The turret is rotated to bring the tools successively into operation to cut lines at different distances from each other or the edge of the plate, the distances being determined by the adjustment of the sleeves m in their sockets. The turret is locked in the various positions by a spring pin operated by a finger lever r<2>. In the form shown in Fig. 15, the rocking cutter support F<1> carries two heads with a furrow-cutter e<2>, and a bevelling-cutter e<3> for cutting down the burr raised by the cutter e<2> and to leave a margin level with or slightly above the bodv of the plate. The swinging arm N' of the channelling or lining cutter O<1> is adjustable transversely, and has a plate adjacent to the tool, adjustable by a screw Q<2> to determine the depth of the cut.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Marking Machines.
Inventor: WAITE HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1900-03-27
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 5733. Waite, H. E. March 27. Rotary machines.-A stamping or marking apparatus for use in marking letters, cheques, and the like, in post offices, banks, and other places, is shown in vertical section in Fig. 2 and in elevation in Fig 3. An impression wheel and a printing-disc 7 are respectively mounted upon shafts 3, 2, connected by toothed wheels 4, 5, the numbers of teeth of which are as one to two. The printing block 8, secured to the disc 7, is inked by means of an inking-roller. The impression wheel is provided with two impression pads 20, pivoted to bent levers 15, which are pivoted to the ends of a bar 13, secured to shaft 3. The outer ends of the levers 15 are normally forced outwards by strong springs 16, the outward movement being limited by means of adjustable stops 18 on the levers co-acting with fixed stops 17 on the bar 13. Springs serve to force the pads against the printing-blocks, the movements of the pads about their pivots 19 being limited by stops 23 which strike against abutments on the levers 15. The letters are fed by hand past a spring-controlled stop and a fixed stop which are inclined to each other. During the marking operation the operative pad is locked by means of a dog 30 pivoted at 31 to the lever 15, and arranged to oscillate with a trip or block 28 which is pivoted at 31 to the lever 15. A spring 29 normally holds the block 28 outwards. The block 28 may be formed with a series of parallel plates or webs which enter recesses between similar plates or webs forming part of a block 35, secured to the disc 7, but when a letter passes between the blocks 35, 28, the block 28 is oscillated and simultaneously the dog 30 locks the pad. In order to prevent inking of the printing-block when no letter is passing, a roller 24 forces the pads inwards when they have not been locked by the dogs 30. This roller 24 is mounted upon a lever 25, which is acted upon by a spring 27, stronger than the springs which force the pads against the printing-blocks, but weaker than the springs 16. After a letter has been marked and the operative pad 20 has passed out of contact with the disc 7, the letter is fed forwards by one of two bent arms 38, pivoted to a bar 36, and forced outwards by springs 39, to an extent limited by means of a screw-stop on the bar 36. The marking-machine may be actuated by means of a handle 6 fixed to the wheel 5. In a modified form of machine, the shafts 2, 3 are vertical, and the shaft 3 is driven by treadle and toothed gearing ; the letters are carried through the machine by an endless belt and the marked letters are stacked, by means of a revolving arm or stacker, upon an adjustable table provided with guides for controlling the movements of the letters.

Alkaline hyposulphites.-A solution of sodium, potassium, or ammonium bisulphite or of sulphurous acid, and a solution of titanous chloride or of the hydrated sesquioxide of titanium, are caused to flow continuously into a small receptacle. Hyposulphurous acid forms in solution, and overflows, before it has had time to decompose, into an aqueous solution of an alkali, whereby the corresponding hyposulphite forms. This is separated by filtration from the titanium-hydrate precipitate. The latter is treated, by known methods, to obtain the original salt or hydrate.
