Title: A Device to Prevent the Fraudulent Refilling of Bottles.
Inventor: GREEN MEREDITH ROBERTS
Filed: 1903-10-21
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 22,792. Green, M. R. Oct. 21. Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-A device for preventing the fraudulent refilling of bottles comprises an oval-shaped thimble b which is fitted in the bottle n e c k and is closed below by a plate c, in which seats f, g are formed for valves h, j respectively, the latter being for the passage of air, and the valves being separated by extension tubes m, p of different lengths arranged above the valves as shown. A flexible wire or cord k, attached to short extensions of the valves, supports a weight l which limits the rise of the valves when the bottle is inverted, by abutting against a bevelled ring e supported by a frame d depending from the thimble b. The latter, which projects slightly above the bottle neck, is formed with a small lip, and is ribbed or roughened on its outside to enable it to be firmly secured in the bottle neck by cement, sealing-wax, &c., a cork n being inserted in the open end of the thimble. A pin o, passing through the thimble as shown, prevents the valves from being tampered with. In another form, the thimble b is made solid, and passages for the air and liquid are bored out, and in addition the extension frame d and ring e are dispensed with, two separate weights being used to control the valves, and arranged so that they strike against the curved base of the neck of the bottle when the latter is inverted.

Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 26,133. Andrevert, C. Nov. 30. Tyres, pneumatic.-In an apparatus for facilitating the placing in position of the outer covers and air tubes of pneumatic tyres upon the rims, a plate a, adapted to hook over, or be otherwise attached to, the edge of the rim, is formed with side grooves b in which slides a bracket c. The upper part of the bracket consists of a flat surface d, preferably inclined, on which the edge of the cover rests. The bracket is raised by means of a lever l which, resting on a tooth of the rack g formed on the piece a, bears against a spindle e mounted on the bracket, and on which a spring pawl f is pivoted to secure the bracket in position. To facilitate the insertion of the valve into the hole formed in the rim, the outer cover may be raised sufficiently high by means of an additional curved piece m, Fig. 5, jointed to a piece n which engages the inclined plane d. The bracket may be locked by means of a cam or eccentric piece which wedges when the bracket tends to fall; or the bracket may be raised by means of a screw.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Heating Systems or Apparatus.
Inventor: GOLD EGBERT HABBERTON
Filed: 1904-08-20
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 18,104. Gold, B. B. Aug. 24, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Heating.-In apparatus for heating by steam circulation, especially applicable to railway and tramway vehicles, the supply of high-pressure steam from a train-pipe to radiators located in each car and open to the atmosphere is controlled by a thermostatic arrangement which is actuated by the changes in temperature of the fluid leaving the radiators. A casing A is connected to the outflow pipe from the radiators and to a drip pips 7 open to the atmosphere. Within this casing is arranged a compartment having one port H open to the steam-inlet pipe 2 leading from the train-pipe, and another port open to the valve-controlled inflow pipe 5 leading to the radiators. The port H is fitted with a nipple forming a seat for the valve J. The stem of the valve J, which is provided with a collar j, surrounded by a packing-ring, passes up through a nipple L to the underside of an expansion chamber O. The chamber 0 is held on its upper side by an adjustable screw-threaded spindle Q, and is provided on the underside with a collar N into which the stem of the valve J passes. A spring M tending to force the valve J off its seat abuts against the collar N and the nipple L. When the valve in the inflow pipe J is closed, the steam pressure in the pipe 2 forces the collar j and the surrounding packing to make a tight joint, no steam thus passing through the radiators. As steam flows through the radiators to the casing A, it heats the expansion chamber O, which, when the temperature rises too high, closes the valve J.
Patent GB-190418124-A (GB)
Title: A Mechanical Divider for Reaping & Mowing Machines and Self Binding Harvesters
Inventor: BIRTWISLE WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-08-22
Granted: 1905-08-22
Abstract: 18,124. Birtwisle, W. Aug. 22. Reaping, mowing, and harvesting machines.- The outside divider is fitted with a reciprocating knife and a rotating board or roller, to insure the complete separation of the cut and uncut crops. The apparatus is carried by a tube c mounted on the divider board A. It may be adjusted by rotating the tube. The ordinary divider point is covered by a casting D to which a point E is adjustably bolted. The casting E is pivoted to a bracket F by means of straps and may be left free to follow the inequalities of the ground, the perforated bar M moving in a slot in a lug on the point D. The knife H works in a groove in the casting E and is reciprocated by means of a crank enclosed in the box casting F. This crank is connected by bevel gearing to a shaft J, which is driven by a chain or belt, or by the gearing shown. The shaft J is parallel to the knife H and carries the board or roller L. The knife passes through the extreme point of the casting E and thus keeps it clear. The edges of the board L may be smooth or rough, and the sharp upper edge of the knife H may be plain or serrated. The driving-gear shown consists of a double-jointed and telescopic shaft N, a pinion V, and a gear ring 0 bolted to the grain wheel B. A pin is passed through the shaft N and a spring presses it against the boss of the loose pinion V. When the machine moves forward, the pin passes into a recess in the boss and the shaft is driven ; but, when the machine moves backwards, the inclined side of the recess forces the pin out and the shaft does not rotate. The shaft may be lifted and held out of gear by means of a lever X. The ring 0 is enclosed by a cover, which carries the pinion V and is prevented from rotating by a rod bolted to it and fitting into a groove in the casting K. This rod is placed in front of the shaft N to protect it from loose straws.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 22,946. Boudreaux, L. Nov. 11, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Brushes.-Metal brushes for dynamo-electric machines are made self-lubricating by coating the sheets of metal constituting the brushes with a layer of a suitable lubricant, such as graphite, talc, and the like, upon a first layer of a siccative oil or fat such as linseed oil, the layer of graphite &c. being applied before complete desiccation of the first layer has taken place. In order to obtain a very thin layer of siccative oil, a solution of the oil in spirit of turpentine &c. is employed. To increase the lubricating effect of the oil, it may be mixed with vegetable, mineral, or animal fats or oils such as castor oil, beef fat, valvaline, &c., and the desiccation of the oil effected in a heated kiln or stove.

Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 23,091. Nelson, I. T., and Murray, J. Nov. 10. Bookbinding.-End-papers, and, if required, strengthening-strips, are attached to end signatures of books by the machine shown in Fig. 1. The end-papers are formed from a roll a of paper, from which the web is drawn by continuouslymoving feed-rollers driven by a friction disk and wheel from the main shaft t, slack being taken up by looping-rollers 10. The web is folded by a suitable folder c, shown as a triangular plate, whence it passes over a pasting-wheel f to a table g. An attendant places the signature h against a fixed guide i and a movable guide j, and presses it against the stripe of paste on the web. A strengthening-tape k may be drawn from the roller l over guide-rollers and a pasting-roller n, and may pass with the end-papered signature through rollers n ; if the strip is to be folded, the curved plate o may be used for the purpose. The intermittent feed-rollers q, driven by a ratchet and pawl by the connecting-rod w from the variable crank on the shaft t<1>, serve to draw the web along and to stop it at intervals to facilitate the exact placing of the signature. A guillotine knife r cuts the web and strengthening-strip as the signature passes to the collecting-table s, which is held up by a spring 7 against the ratchet teeth on the bar 6, and is gradually depressed as the number of signatures beneath the presser-bar 9 increases.
