Patent GB-190429582-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Reeling Machinery.
Inventor: STUBBS WILLIAM THOMAS
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 29,582. Stubbs, W. T., and Stubbs, J. H. Dec. 31. Reeling-machines.-The pivoted and weighted or spring-pressed lever m for operating the brake band a which surrounds the brake pulley g fixed on the shaft h carrying the swift b of a reeling- machine is formed with an arm r controlled by a cam s fixed to, or formed on, the rod f carrying the strap-fork c for the driving-belt. An adjustable screw z in the arm r bears against the cam, in which a notch with inclined sides is formed. When the belt is on the fast pulley, the screw z bears against the higher part of the cam at one side of the notch and holds the brake band out of action, but when the rod f is moved to carry the belt on to the loose pulley, the screw descends into the notch and allows the weighted lever to apply the brake. Further movement of the rod f moves the belt along the broad loose pulley, and the screw z rides up the incline to the higher part at the other side of the cam notch, thereby easing the brake band so that the swift can freely turn as the hanks are removed.

Abstract: 5869. Hicks, F. G., and Bickham, J. March 20. Roofs; ceilings.-A roof f ram ework of metal, intended to be lifted bodily into position, is constructed on the ground of a ridge bar a, rafters b, tie-bars g, l, and wall plates e, connected together by lugs, pins, bolts, straps g<1>, and cotters g<2>. The lower edges of the slates are bevelled to fit in V-shaped clips j<2>, which are formed with strengthening cross-ribs and connected by cross-strips to parallel strips j to form supporting- frames. Angular lugs j<1>, fixed to the strips j, engage with notches in the rafters. The gutter k is formed of sheet metal bent to extend under the slates and bear against the wall. The ceiling is constructed of plain or rabbeted slabs m resting on the flanges of #-iron cross-ties l. The slabs may project below the bars as shown in Fig. 11, and the joints may be filled in with plaster, or the bars and slabs may be moulded with ornamental patterns. Instead of facia boards for the end walls, sheet-metal strips are bent under the slates, and the ridge bar may extend through the strips. In case of fire, the roof framework remains to the last supported by the end walls.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to Apparatus for Preventing Lateral Slipping of the Wheels of Mechanically Propelled and other Vehicles.
Inventor: MACBETH GEORGE
Filed: 1905-03-21
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 5920. Macbeth, G. March 21. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-Lateral slipping of vehicles is prevented by means of serrated disks which are adapted to grip the road surface when slipping occurs. The disks f are mounted on a spindle e and are normally raised clear of the road by a wheel c. The spindle e is carried in inclined slots b in arms a attached to the axle or other part of the vehicle.

Title: An Improved Method for Obtaining a Uniform Firmly Adherent Coating of Metallic Powder on Bands of Paper or Fabric, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1905-09-05
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 17,958. Thompson, W. P., [Wickels Metallpapierwerke Ges.]. Sept. 5. Bronzing.-Relates to means for forming a firmlyadherent coating of metallic powder on bands of paper or fabric by means of a layer of resin. The paper band a, provided with an unfinished coating of metallic powder in the ordinary way, passes over guide-rollers b and round a roller c above which is a feed-nozzle e for water, the slot of which extends over the whole width of the band. The water removes the excess of powder and is assisted by a brushing-roller f having a covering arranged in strips. The band then passes between a guide-roller d and a brushing-roller h which removes most of the water carried up by the band. An internally-heated roller i dries the band and renders the coating firmly adherent.

Title: An Improved Internal Combustion Engine
Inventor: SEELEY FREDERIC GEORGE
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 22,308. Seeley, F. G. Nov. 1. Gas and like engines. - A twostroke-cycle engine has the air-pump cylinder in line with the power cylinder and of about twice its cross-section. Part of the compressed air enters the cylinder during the latter half of the power stroke, to complete the combustion, and another part sprays the fuel into the cylinder. The Figure shows in section the airpump B with inlet valve B<2> and outlet valves B<3>, B<4>, the former leading to an air port A<4> and the latter communicating with the fuel-supply device. During the first half of the in-stroke, air pumped through the port A<4> scavenges, out the products, and during the remainder of the stroke the air in the cylinder is compressed. At the same time, air is compressed into the port space B<2> until the valve B' is raised, when fuel is sprayed into the cylinder. Ignition is effected in any suitable manner, the heat of compression serving to vaporize the fuel. When the port A<4> is uncovered during the power stroke, the air enters as stated above to complete combustion and assist in driving the piston.

Abstract: 25,579. BlomÚn, A. L., and Ewerl÷f, P. S. Dec. 31, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Pneumatic.-Relates to air-guns having an airressrvoir and air-pump, and consists in a valve acted upon by a trigger device and adapted to close and open the passage 19 between the reservoir and barrel 1. In the example shown, the valve is retained in the closed position by the spring 11 acting upon the valve-stalk 7 and having its rear bearing against the sleeve 9, which slides upon the end of the stalk 7, a screw 10 being carried by the stalk to serve as a stop for the rearward movement of the sleeve 9 relatively to the stalk. The valve is closed by pushing the cap 17 of the sleeve 9 forward against the action of the spring 16 until the shoulder 12 of the sleeve is engaged by the trigger-operated pawl 14. When the sleeve 9 is released by pulling the trigger, the sleeve moves rearwardly and the valve spring 11 keeps the valve closed until the sleeve 9 engages the stop screw 10 and opens the valve suddenly. The valve opens when the pressure in the reservoir rises beyond a certain point.

Title: Apparatus for Actuating Bulk-head Doors.
Inventor: GUEMBEL LUDWIG CARL FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1906-06-06
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 13,086. Guembel, L. C. F. June 6. Door opening and closing apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for simultaneously opening and closing bulkhead doors hydraulically from a central station, the water under pressure led to the hydraulic cylinders for the different doors being regulated from a single reversing-cock. The controlling- mechanism for the individual doors, which allows them to be opened or closed locally, consists of a piston provided with waterways and capable of being reciprocated in a cylinder by means of a handlever. The apparatus is shown diagrammatically under various conditions of service in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. The cock 5 on the bridge is connected with a water-pressure reservoir 3 and a wastewater tank 4, and with each separate door by pipes 1, 2. Fig. 1 shows the direction of flow of water from the reservoir 3, when the doors are closed from the bridge, and Fig. 2 indicates the direction on opening, the position of the cock 5 being as shown. A peg 10 locks a hand-lever and keeps the piston 7 at the bottom of the cylinder 12. When the doors are opened from the bridge, as shown in Fig. 2, and it is desired to close one door locally, the peg 10 is removed, so that the piston 7 is forced up, the pressure is reversed in the cylinder 6, and the door closes. When the lever is brought back to its former position, the door opens. When the doors are all closed from the bridge, the apparatus is in the position shown in Fig. 1, and a door can be opened by removing the peg 10, and moving the lever and piston 7 against the pressure to the position shown in Fig. 3 ; the door then closes automatically on release of the band-lever, as the pressure forces the piston 7 down into the position indicated in Fig. 1.
