Patent GB-190801459-A (GB)
Title: A Machine for Moulding and Drying Stereotyping Impressions.
Inventor: DERRIEY CHARLES JULES
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 1459. Derriey, C. J. July 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Piston pumps.-Relates to a press for moulding and drying stereotype impressions, and comprises a heated pressing-device, fluid press, and a vacuum pump. The imposing-stone 1 of iron is formed of a number of communicating chambers to be half filled with water, which is heated by burners 4, a safety valve 25 and pressure gauge 26 being provided. The pressure body 1 is rigidly secured to the top of a two-diameter piston 6, 7, which can be raised by water or oil from the tank 14 by suitably arranging valves 15, 16, operated by means of a handle 18 and cams a, b on a cam shaft 17. The pumps are continuously driven from the main driving-shaft 12 by means of a pulley 11, pinion 10, and gear-wheel 9, the shaft 12 also driving a vacuum pump at the top of the machine. When the valves 15, 16 are opened, the water in the tank 14 is sucked through a pipe 18 and then forced through a pipe 19, whence it returns to the tank through the open valve 16, as shown in Fig. 10, without operating the piston 6, 7. When the valves are closed by turning the handle 18 to the position shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the fluid forced through the pipe 19 passes under the piston 7 and raises it, while water is sucked from the reservoir 14 through the valve 18 to fill up the vacuum which would otherwise be produced in the annular space under the larger piston 6. When near the top of the stroke, the fluid operates the wider part 6 and a greatly increased pressure on the imposing-stone is obtained. As the imposing- stone enters an air-tight casing 21, the enclosed air above and below a perforated plate 20, together with the moisture from the wet blank, is drawn out by the vacuum pump which is placed in communication with the casing by turning the cock 24 as shown in Fig. 7. The pressure between the wet blank and form between the parts 1, 20 is continued until the heat from the stone and the suction of the pump have caused the stereotype to dry, whereupon the operation of the cock to the piston shown in Fig. 6 destroys the vacuum, and the opening of the valves 15, 16 by turning the cam shaft 17 allows the press rapidly to descend. A spring attached to the valve 16 and adjustable by the nut c allows the valve to yield when the necessary pressure is exceeded, the excess liquid then returning to the tank.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Means and Apparatus for Obtaining Dry Products from Liquids and Semi-liquids.
Inventor: HAWES DAVID MARC ANDREW GRAHAM
Filed: 1908-02-28
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 4540. Hawes, D. M. A. G. Feb. 28. Liquids, spraying; vaporizing by air currents; evaporating liquids to dryness.-Relates to apparatus for evaporating a liquid or semi-liquid to dryness by introducing it by means of an atomizer j into a chamber where it comes into contact with heated air or gas, and consists mainly in modifications of the type of apparatus comprising a rotary chamber h and described in Specifications No. 1479, A.D. 1906, and No. 17,323, A.D. 1907. Where the chambers h are composed of wire-gauze or the like, two or more of them are mounted in a single casing, one or more pipes being provided for the supply of hot air. The chambers h may however be made of unperforated metal, the outer casing being dispensed with. In this case, air is admitted to the chamber by means of a fixed casing z, Fig. 3, at the upper part communicating with a pipe e, preferably arranged tangentially so that the incoming air may impinge on fan blades m and thus effect the rotation of the chambers h. The receiver x may communicate with a conveyer 10 so as to permit the removal of the product without stopping the apparatus. The screens 4, Fig. 5, used for separating the powder from the air in apparatus having a wiregauze chamber h, are cleaned by means of brushes or flaps 2, rotating with the chamber h and kept in yielding contact with the screen 4 by means of centrifugal force or otherwise. The chambers may be of pear-shape, and may be rotated by means of mechanical power. Internal or external fans or vanes extending more or less from top to bottom of the chamber h may be used in place of the fans m at the top. The air may also be admitted at the bottom of the chamber, and expelled at the periphery.

Title: Improved Device for Preventing Theft of Cycles, Motor Cycles and the like.
Inventor: GROLEAS FERDINAND
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 22,470. Groleas, F. Oct. 22. Motor road vehicles. -A device for locking the wheel or other part of a motor-cycle to prevent theft is attached to one of the frame tubes l by means of a clip r, which carries a casing q, within which a tube v carrying a locking-pad n is adapted to be moved longitudinally by a screw t rotating in a fixed guide u. The screw t is rotated by a key m, which is retained in the device by a spring catch o when the wheel is not locked, but which may be removed on locking since the catch o is disengaged by the longitudinal movement of the piece 1 with the screw. In order that the nuts securing the device to the motor-cycle may not be removed when the machine is locked, the one nut is pinned or riveted, and the nuts 3, 4 have constrictions 6, which are engaged by a slotted bar 2 moved longitudinally by the piece 1 on the screw when the device is locked. In a simpler form of the device, the pan n is carried by a spring-pressed rod bearing on the top of the operating-screw, and the retaining-catch forms part of its actuating-spring.

Inventor: CROSS FRANK LEONARD
IPC: G05D16/18
Filed: 1910-05-14
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 12,009. Cross, F. L. May 14. Pressure - regul a t i n g valves.- Relates to pressure - regulating apparatus for maintaining a constant pressure in the hydraulic main of a gasgenerating plant in which the gas to be regulated is prevented from gaining access to the operating-members of the main and the auxiliary valves or to the auxiliary valve itself. The pipe 2, Fig. 1, from the gas - generator dips into the liquor in the main 1, from which the gas passes by a regulating-valve or damper 4 operated by a gas-bell 5. This bell is operated by an independent gas under pressure, which passes through a pipe 13, fitted with a reducer or constriction 15, and through a dippipe 14 into the main below the liquid level therein. An auxiliary valve 17, operated preferably by a diaphragm 19, is disposed in the pipe 13, and a by-pass pipe 23 leads to the bell 5 from the inlet side of the auxiliary valve 17. If the pressure rises in the main, the resultanL increase of back pressure in the pipe 14 lifts the diaphragm, throttles the passage, and forces more gas through the by-pass 23 to the bell 5, which thereby rises and opens the valve 4 more, and relieves the pressure in the main. In a modification the diaphragm 19 is replaced by a bell 26, Fig. 4, balanced by a weight 10, Fig. 3, and cable 11 passing round a conical drum 12 whereby the increase in weight of the tank as iL rises out of the water seal is compensated.
