Patent GB-190521562-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Burglar Alarms and the like.
Inventor: COOPER GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-23
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 21,562. Cooper, G. W. Oct. 23. Alarms, burglar and like.-In devices of the type in which the alarm is given by a fall or rise in pressure of the air within a safe when a hole is drilled &c., the air is caused to be kept in circulation and at the same time at a slightly different pressure from the atmosphere. The safe or case a is permanently maintained at a constant lower pressure than the air by the water pump h and a small hole e through which a restricted flow of air takes place. If the inside pressure is to be in excess, it may be produced by placing a cylinder of compressed gas inside the safe and permitting it to leak slowly. If, now, the safe is drilled or the leading pipe b is stopped, the pressure in the pipe j changes. This communicates with the mercury U-tube shown, in which a float m makes the circuit of the alarm if the float falls or rises above its adjusted position. If, however, the tube j is stopped, no alarm would be given ; in order to obviate this, another small hole y similar to e is made in the U-tube. Fig. 2 is a modification in which the pressure is arranged to be alternately above and below that of the outside air. A tube 3 is rotated within a sleeve 4 by clock-work 11, and puts slots 7, 8 alternately into connexion with the tubes 5, 6 which cause a decrease and increase in the pressure; the slot 20 is always in connexion with the tube or pipe b. In order to prevent the change in the pressure produced, when the change takes place, from affecting the alarm, a cam on the rotating tube 3 works in a groove 16 so as to lower or raise the contacts at the same rate as the mercury descends or rises in that leg.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rollers.
Filed: 1905-12-22
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 26,756. Gretsch & Co., Hulberle, A., and Hinderer, H. Dec. 22. Ropes, chains, and the like, arranging and guiding. -Rollers suitable for curtains, lifts, &c. are formed in duplicate halves a, b. The portions f, g are cut out and bent up to form arms, each of which may be passed through a slot left in the adjacent half. When two parts are connected by this means, the arms are bent down farther and serve to retain the parts from relative movement. The arms are cut out so that adjacent parts as at f face one another as shown in Fig. 1, and may be bent over to the curved form shown at g', f in Fig. 4. A length e of pipe may be placed between the parts to form a long nave. The adhesion of a rope may be increased by affixing fibre, wood, or leather.

Title: An Improved Interchangeable Heel for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BARNES ROBERT
Filed: 1906-01-15
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 1082. Barnes, R. Jan. 15. Heels ; heel protectors.-Relates to an arrangement of interlocking plates for detachably securing rubber or leather pads to the heels of boots and shoes, in order that the pads may be readily interchanged, or replaced by new ones, when worn. The part built into the heel proper consists of a metal ring D, Fig. 2, having projecting from it a collar E, which is provided on its inner periphery with two studs K. A spring I is passed through a slot F in the collar E, and riveted at J to the ring D, the other end of the spring being free to work in an inverted U-shaped guide H formed by bending upwards a portion of the ring D. The latter is provided with teeth L, to prevent it from turning. The part built into the leather pad, or moulded into the rubber pad, as the case may be, also consists of a metal ring M, Fig. 3, and collar N, the latter being provided with an external groove Q, and with notches O, between and in line with which is a U-shaped metal trough P, Fig. 7. The inside of the collar is completely filled up with vulcanite R, which is afterwards cut away between the sides of the trough P to form a groove S. To fit the pad, it is placed at right-angles to the heel so that the studs K register with the recesses O It is then forced downwards, against the action of the spring I, until the studs are opposite the groove K, when it is turned to bring it into line with the heel, in which position the spring I snaps into the groove S and securely locks the pad, Fig. 1.
Patent GB-190603379-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Drying Apparatus so Erected, Inside Kilns, as to Expedite the Drying Process of Hops, Malt, Tea & the like when Placed on Floors Above.
Inventor: FIRKINS ARTHUR ROBERT
Filed: 1906-02-12
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 3379. Ferkins, A. R. Feb. 12. Kilns.-Relates to a kiln for drying hops, malt, tea, and other goods by hot air, the products of combustion being discharged without contaminating the goods. Fig. 1 shows an interior view of the lower part of the kiln. Air enters the body of the kiln by a single opening A', and passes around a deflector V and through the floor J and the goods placed thereon. A furnace A is arranged within the opening A', and the furnace gases pass around baffles W, X into a flue A, which is carried round the furnace and which, after passing centrally through the kiln and floor, discharges the gases into the external atmosphere in the upper part of the kiln (not shown). A current of air passes through the heated space between the flue A and a pipe B around it, and, striking the underside of the hood E, is deflected upon the goods on the floor J. The hood may be adjusted in position by a chain H. Where the flue A passes through the roof, it is surrounded by an open-ended pipe which conducts the reek rising from the goods into the atmosphere. The reek may also pass into the upper part of the flue A by a small pipe having a damper controlled from below. Air-tight firing and ash-pit doors are fitted to the furnace A, and the air supply for combustion is obtained through dampered pipes R from the reek above the drying-floor. Opening the small pipe in the upper part of the kiln, in addition to increasing the escape of reek, thus serves also to reduce the down-draught in the pipes R, R<1>.

Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 10,361. Wood, W. E., Wood, W., and Bowden, J. May 3. Rotary machines; stopping and starting arrangements.-Relates to machines for printing textile fabrics, floorcloth, paper, and the like, and particularly to an automatic clutch - mechanism for connecting the driving-pinion to, and disconnecting it from, the shaft of the printing-roller at predetermined intervals. To the shaft a of the roller is secured a bush b on which is loosely mounted a box-wheel c. In the eye of the wheel c are formed two or more semicircular grooves c<1>, Fig. 4, and the bush b has a semicircular groove in which fits a half-round key d. The wheel c can be locked to or released from the shaft a by rotation of the key d. To the wheel c is fixed a wheel f gearing with a wheel g, which turns on a stud carried by a slotted arm i. The wheels g gears through wheels l, m with a wheel o mounted loosely on the bush b. An arm e on the key d is connected by a spring u with the bush b. The key is thereby rocked and enters the first of the grooves c' which passes over it. In the wheel o is mounted a pin p carrying at opposite ends arms q, r. The rotation of the wheel o brings the arm q in contact with a projection s<1> on a fixed cam s. The arm r is thereby moved down against the pull of a spring t into the path of the arm e on the key d, which is rocked against the pull of the spring u, and the wheel c is released from the shaft a. The intervals at which connexion and disconnexion occur can be varied by changing the wheels f, g, l, m, o.
