Patent GB-190225876-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process for the Extraction and Recovery of Fatty Matters and the like from Liquid or Semi-liquid Material containing them.
Inventor: GARFIELD JOSEPH
Filed: 1902-11-25
Granted: 1903-10-08
Abstract: 25,876. Garfield, J. Nov. 25. Fats and fatty oils.-Fatty matters and the like are recovered from sewage sludge, and from soapy or other grease-bearing liquids or semi-liquids, such as the magma from wool scouring. The superfluous water is preferably first removed by means of heat. The fatty matters are then distilled from the residue, if necessary in the presence of superheated steam. Any permanent vapours, left after passage through the condenser, are conveyed to the furnace and burnt.

Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 3230. Roger, J. H. Feb. 11. Moulding india-rubber and gutta-percha balls.- A golf ball is made with a vulcanized rubber core 1, Fig. 1, shaped so as to have a brambled exterior 3 inside a shell of guttapercha 2 with a similar interior surface 4. The projections 3 are made by moulding in hemispherical moulds under pressure, and the prujections 4 by a mould or die in three sections, on to which the outer cover of the ball is pressed in two hemispheres separately. The die is afterwards removed in sections. The die is previously heated by steam, to prepare the two shells for joining when afterwards put under pressure.

Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 4220. Number, Ltd., Eason, F., and Sansom, J. Feb. 23. Clutches. - R elates to friction clutches for motor cycles, tricycles, or motor cars and the like, and consists of a clutch which will automatically disconnect w h e n the motor backfires, and will tend to tighten when running forward. This is accomplished by having pins fixed to a sleeve on the motor shaft, working in spiral slots in one of the clutch members. Fig. 2 shows a sectional view, and Fig. 1 a perspective view of the clutch. The member D has spiral slots D<3>, in which slide the pins A<5> fixed to the sleeve A rigidly connected to the motor shaft, and drives the sprocket - wheel B through the medium of an internally-coned spring ring C, which prevents the jamming of the two members B, D. The handle B, in the boss of which the screw G works, operates the fork F for sliding the member D in and out of engagement.

Title: Improvements relating to Coin-freed Telephone Apparatus
Inventor: SEM GABRIEL
Filed: 1903-05-22
Granted: 1904-05-21
Abstract: 11,739. Lake, H. H., [Sem, G.]. May 22. Telephone systems.-A switch, Fig. 4, is set to complete the ringing, call, or signal circuit of a telephone by the coinaction and is reversed to break the circuit by means of an electromagnet 2, Fig. 1, acting on an armature 22 which rocks with the switch. According to the system with which the apparatus is used, the current for the electromagnet may be sent either by use of a press-button or by means of a contact-arrangement connected to the arm on which the receiver is hung, or the operation may be effected from the telephone exchange. Where, as in Fig. 5, the receiver on being replaced after a conversation depresses a spindle g having a shoulder h bearing upon a pair of levers i, j with springs s, s', one of these levers is connected by a spring l to a long lever d which has a flexible foot m resting on a fixed stud n. When the generator is turned and so makes its usual axial movement, a disc o upon its shaft p dislodges the foot of the long lever so that, under the control of a dash-pot r, it completes the circuit of the re-setting-electromagnet 20. The coin conveyed by a shoot 1 turns a light wheel 2 formed by a pair of discs between which are two pins to receive the coin, and it drops away while a pin 8 strikes a stop 9. Alternatively, the coin bridges a gap in a local circuit and another electromagnet and armature turn the wheel and switch.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Chrome Iron Stone for the Production of Potassium Chromate
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-08-13
Granted: 1904-05-12
Abstract: 17,589. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron]. Aug. 13. Potassium chromate is produced from chrome iron stone by heating a mixture of the finelypulverized ore with a solution of caustic potash of 50‹ BÚ., under free access of air, to from 300 to 500‹ C. The melt is lixiviated, and the solution freed from impurities by adding lime. After filtering, the liquid is evaporated, the potassium chromate separating in a nearly pure form. The excess of potash remaining is used either to treat fresh quantities of ore or for other purposes.

Title: Process of Perfecting Cast Steel Ingots
Inventor: HUNT ROBERT WOOLSTON
Filed: 1903-11-03
Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 23,821. Hunt, R. W. Nov. 3. Ingots.-When casting steel ingots, especially those used for rail manufacture, a steel bar, rod, or piece, preferably heated, and of superior quality, is forced axially into the ingot just before the mould is stripped therefrom, so that the bar becomes incorporated with the ingot. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the rod B is held in a groove in a piece 10, preferably by tongs 11, operated by a weight 17, and is partially forced into the mould by the weight of the stripping-machine acting through a hydraulic plunger 8. The tongs 11 are then released by raising the weight 17 by means of a fluid-operated device 19, and the piece 10 is withdrawn from the top of the mould into the position shown by dotted lines by an engine 13 acting through a rod 12 guided by spring-supported rollers 14, rollers 16 turning the piece 10 into the horizontal position ready for the insertion of another rod. The stripping of the mould from the ingot, and the complete insertion of the rod, are simultaneously effected by the further movement of the plunger 8, as shown in Fig. 5, the operations being assisted, in some cases, by the vertically-adjusting cylinder at the upper part of the machine.

Title: Improved Method of Cutting Coal, Rock or the like in Mining.
Inventor: KIRSCHNIOK JACOB
Filed: 1904-04-14
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 8559. Kirschuiok, J. April 14. Undercutting &c. ; quarrying ; hydraulic mining; laying dust in mines.-In mining and quarrying operations, grooves are cut by means of fluid jets or fluid jets with sand or small stones in suspension, thus inter alia obviating the raising of coal dust and utilizing in the case of deep seams the natural pressure of the water. As applied to a coal seam k, grooves s may be cut by means of jets of high-pressure water issuing from nozzles a, b, c. Experiments have shown that with a pressure of 30 atmospheres a jet of one-eighth of an inch diameter gives a good result. Sand and the like may be added to the jet, the nozzle being formed like an injector and communicating with a reservoir containing sand, or the sand may he added to the water under pressure. Instead of a jet of water and sand, a jet of compressed air and sand may be used in combination with a jet of water or of water and sand.

Abstract: 29,031. Edwards, E. Dec. 30. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-In vertical engines in which a charge is compressed in the crank chamber, some of this compressed charge is retained in the crank chamber to balance the weight of the piston, an adjustable escape valve being provided to regulate the compression. Cycles; valves; pumps, governing.-Two-strokecycle engines in general, and the engines described in Specifications No. 20,760, A.D. 1902, and No. 16,940, A.D. 1903, in particular, work like the four-stroke-cycle engine described in Specification No. 7241, A.D. 1892. A charge of pure air is compressed in the cylinder on the in-stroke, and during the out-stroke gas or oil-spray is injected and burns as it enters. Fig. 4 shows the end of an engine described in Specification No. 16,940, A.D. 1903, in which the valve q between the air pump a and combustion chamber r has its lift controlled by a set-screw 4 in addition to the spring 2. The oil is injected into the combustion chamber by a pump 9, the plunger 10 of which is raised by a spring 13 and depressed by the air pressure in the chamber r acting on the piston 11. The delivery valve 17 is supported by a spring 18 which is retained by the spraying-nozzle 19. Modifications in the construction of the piston 11 and the position of the spring 13 are described. A throttle valve 20 may be placed in the suction or delivery pipe of the pump. The admission of oil to the pump may be controlled by a governor. Governing may also be effected by throttling the terminal exhaust ; the exhaust pipe and throttle valve may be water-jacketed. A cam-actuated pump may be employed to deliver the oil to the combustion chamber, and its delivery controlled by a needle valve 20. The pump-rod is made in two parts and held together by springs.
