Title: Improvements in Tables for General and Gynaecological Surgical Operations.
Inventor: ARNOLD JAMES ERNEST
Filed: 1906-04-09
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 8484. Arnold, J. E. April 9. Tables for genera' and gynµcologica surgical operations have the usual hinged sections 4 5, Figs. 1 and 2 counterbalanced by means of weight! 12, 16, which slide upon guides 11, 15 attached to extensions 7, 8 of the parts 4, 5 respectively. Normally, the weights 12, 16 are approximately beneath, the common axis 3 of the hinged parts 4, 5, but, when either part is raised, the corresponding weight automatically travels along its guide away from the axis, assisting the movement and serving to hold the part in its raised position. The weight slides back when the part is again lowered, thus assisting the motion as before. Spring buffers 25, Fig. 7, may be employed to facilitate the commencement of the motion of the weights. To attain the " Trendelenburg " position, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, pairs of bolts 17, screw-threaded in opposite directions and united by right and left hand screwed ferrules 19 having handles 22, are passed through the outer framework 1, through a slotted plate 20, Fig. 3, fixed to, or carried by the frame 1, and through a slotted rocker-plate 21, Fig. 5, carried by the axis 3. When the handles 22 are turned, the bolts 17 are tightened, causing spring-controlled washers 23 to be drawn tightly against the plates 20, and clamping the parts 4, 5, which then turn together on the axis 3. The surfaces of the washers 23 and plates 20 may be serrated or toothed to facilitate engagement, while the slotted part 20 controls the angular movement of the table sections. The usual water jackets 6 for heating may be provided.

Patent GB-190629134-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Textiles.
Filed: 1906-12-21
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 29,134. Calico Printers' Association, and Fourneaux, E. A. Dec. 21. Dyeing.-So-called " conversion " effects are produced on cloth or other textile materials, prepared mainly with #-naphthol, by printing or otherwise treating with an #-methyl-sulphonic acid, obtained by suitably treating aromatic amino-compounds with a formaldehydebisulphite, and then overprinting, padding, or dyeing with a suitable azo-dye component. In an example, the prepared cloth is printed with a solution of British gum and alphanaphthylamine-#-methylsulphonate, and is dried, covered with diazotized-p-nitraniline printing-colour, washed in cold water, and soaped at about 60‹ C. Red and purple respectively result where the diazocompound comes in contact with the naphthol only and with the #-compound. In another example, ammonium chloride is added to the printing-solution, and diazotized benzidineprinting-colour is used for covering. The material is then steamed, washed, and soaped. White or coloured resists may be printed simultaneously with, before, or after the #-compound, and the material may be printed instead of prepared with #-naphthol. Saponification of the compounds on the fibre, e.g. with acids or alkalies, gives further effects ; thus, the purple shade of the first example turns brown and may then be diazotized again and coupled with amines or phenolic compounds, e.g. #-naphthol, which gives a different and deeper shade of brown. The saponifying-agent may be added to the w-compound preparation as in the case of the ammonium chloride in the second example.

Inventor: PERILLARD JULES EMILE
Filed: 1907-04-11
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 8450. PÚrillard, J. E. April 11. Motor-cycles; convertible bicycles. - Comprises a construction of motor wheel which can be fitted in an ordinary bicycle frame, and is provided with means for disconnecting the motor from the wheel so that the cycle may be driven by the pedals. As shown in Fig. 1, the motor M is mounted between the forked inner ends of the divided axle A, on which the hub of the road wheel is adjusted by means of ball bearings f. The width of the motor is reduced so that the wheel can be fitted into an ordinary bicycle frame, and the fuel is supplied through the one half of the hollow axle A. The motor pinion g drives a loosely-mounted spur-wheel h forming one element of a friction clutch which meshes with a sliding disk i. The disk i is rotatably mounted on a sliding hub p, and also slides on short spindles l carried by a laterally-extending cap on the road wheel. To disconnect the motor, the disk i is withdrawn from the wheel h against the action of the springs l<1>. This is effected by rotating the cam-disk o, thereby causing camsurfaces on the member q to force the member o and shaft n outwards. A projection m on the shaft engages the sliding hub of the member i. The cam-disk o is attached to a lever o<1> connected to a handle which is under control of the driver and is provided preferably with a suitable locking- device. The sprocket-wheel r, which is preferably of the free-wheel type, is connected to the pedals in the usual way and may be used to drive the machine independently of the motor or as a means of starting the motor.

Indicating condition of bridges etc.; semaphore signals; audible signals.-The occurrence of a land or snow slide is signalled to approaching trains by means of cables attached to a guard fence and operating lamps and semaphore signals at both ends of the section. Cables 2, 3 pass through staples in a guard fence 1, and are attached respectively to a lever 10 pivoted at 9 and to a lever 28 pivoted at 27. If the cable 2 is dragged down on the collapse of the fence, the lever 10 is drawn up and releases a detent 12 from a pivoted disk 16 bearing a lamp and a semaphore, which swing round to danger' under the influence of a spring 19. If the cable 3 is dragged down, the lever 28 is swung round horizontally so that a wire 30 releases from a pin 24 a coil of wire 23 connected to a balance weight 25. The lever 10 is then overbalanced by a weight 11, and releases the detent 12 as before. At the same time, contact is made between parts 39 and 40, and an audible signal is given in a station or elsewhere. In case only one end of the guard fence collapses and the signals at one end only of the section are operated, a wire 32 is used to connect corresponding levers 28, so that the signals at both ends are operated together. A weight 33 keeps the wire 32 taut.

Kilns.-A gas-fired kiln for drying or burning ceramic ware is provided with means for controlling the supply of gas and of air to each part of the kiln, and with special arrangements of air-heating flues in the floor of the kiln. In the circular form of up-draught kiln shown in Figs. 1 and 2, producer gas from an annular flue 1 passes to the bags 10 and to radial passages 11 through a flue 2 provided with a damper 4. Air for combustion enters dampered openings 5 and, after passing towards the centre through radial flues 7, returns through flues 9 and meets the gas from the flues 2. When applied to a down-draught kiln, the mixture of gas and air passes through the bags 10 only, and the waste gases escape through openings 13, Fig. 3, to radial passages leading to outlet flues 14 in the kiln walls. To effect a more regular distribution of the gas, it may be led to a central chamber 16, Fig. 5, from which it passes through radial flues 17 to meet air heated in radial passages arranged as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The central gas chamber 16 may also be provided in a down-draught kiln, the air-inlet passages and waste-gas flues being arranged as shown in Fig. 3. In an oblong kiln, the flues are arranged parallel to each other instead of radiating to a common centre.
