solved.",GB189423852A,1894,1
"The object of our invention is to give or create an alarm or ringing, on a person
entering or leaving a room by the door; the act of turning the knob or handle for
withdrawing the latch bolt gives the alarm and indicates an exit or entrance. Or

attention to the fact, that a person is clandestinely entering; so that by constructing
and arranging ringing alarm locks and latches as indicated, a person is unable to
make an entrance through a door without creating an alarm or calling attention.",GB188607099A,1886,0

boards.",GB188001513A,1880,0
"""Heretofore in printing these goods the color rollers and their accessories have been mounted in the general fixed framing of the machine, thereby causing a great waste of time when changing the colors from one part of the machine to another, in changing the coloring of a design, or in changing the design altogether, as in that case the color rollers and their accessories have to be separately taken from their bearings and removed to their respective places in the altered design intended to be printed necessarily occupying much time. By the use of the portable color frame, the color rollers and their accessories are removed and, replaced at once by simply lifting from one part of the machine to another when it is necessary to alter the coloring of any design, thereby economising time and rendering the operation much moro cleanly. It has been usual in printing these goods to apply the coloring matters on to the upper surface of the printing rollers or cylinders, thereby preventing the possibility of applying more than a very limited quantity of colouring matter without liability of the color flowing down into the carved or engraved parts of the design and causing defects in the work. But by means of the adjustable radial arms and adjusting worms carried in the color frames the endless color cloths can be adjusted at various angles to the printing surfaces. Wo find that the best results are produced by bringing the color cloths into such a position or angle that the color shall be applied from below or to the under side of the printing rollers, whereby larger quantititics of color can be applied without danger of its flowing into the carved parts of the design, thus obviating many defects in the printing and at the same time producing greater brilliancy of color. These moveable segmental pattern blocks may be cut or carved in the usual manner or they may be constructed with stereotype surfaces, as is well known, and attached by dovetails and grooves to the central cores, by which contrivance large and claborate designs can be obtained at less cost than by the usual method of forming the printing cylinders. By this arrangement greater accuracy of register is secured and a much larger amount of colouring matter can be applied to the printing surfaces and consequently greater brilliancy of design obtained than heretofore.""",GB187100577A,1871,1

"To obtain with the least possible fuel the greatest amount of effective power of the steam. To obtain these advantages this system of application and mechanism consists,-
1. In the employment of superheated steam as a transmitting agent for heat to create, by mixing it with saturated steam at a stronger pressure than it possesses itself, a new superheated steam of proper temperature with relation to its pressure, called rational superheated steam.
2. In imparting a useful heat to the steam with regard to its pressure, that is to say, such an amount of heat, that with the amount of expansion possible with such pressure, the exhaust has just sufficient pressure to overcome the counter pressure of the atmosphere, and thereupon retains only the smallest amount of heat necessary to produce this effect.
3. In arranging the superheating apparatus in such place that the greatest useful effect for superheating is obtained with the smallest space. 4. In arranging the parts in such manner that water can be circulated in the superheating apparatus while steam is being got up, which water is taken from the boiler and returned thereto until the requisite pressure is obtained, and also that saturated steam can be circulated therein the engine is stopped, in order in both cases to protect the apparatus against the effects of excessive heat.",GB187900763A,1879,0

It is attached to the inside of the drum for the purpose of receiving the steam which enters the machine through the hollow axle E, and serves to distribute and convey the steam between and beneath the clothes within the machine, the steam being thus made to rise through the clothes, steaming them without more water in the machine during this operation than was necessary to moisten and to soap the clothes, the effect of steam under moderate pressure upon the clothes being far superior to that of boiling water.",GB187601215A,1876,1

"The object of my Invention is to furnish a railway car axle, simply and cheaply constructed, which shall revolve as in the present system, but upon which the wheels are loosely mounted, so as to avoid the torsion or twisting and slipping occasioned by running on a curve or irregularity of the track, or whith wheels of unequal size, but so adjusted that the wheels shall turn on the axle only sufficiently to accomplish this purpose, thus avoiding the great friction and wear upon the shoulder otherwise incident to a loose wheel, that is, an axle so constructed as to combine the advantages of the loose wheel and of the present revolving axle, with none of the peculiar disadvantages of either, and also so constructed that in case of the breakage of the wheel another may be readily substituted away from the shop, and without the use of the hydraulic press. With this object in view my Invention consists in forming near each end of the axle, by forging or otherwise, in the simplest possible manner, a bearing larger than those at the ends, upon which the wheel is slipped till it strikes a shoulder raised around the inner end of the bearing, and is retained in in place by a nut or cap screwed upon the axle till it strikes against the wheel.",GB187600074A,1876,0
"As regards more especially the transport of fresh provisions on board ship, to counteract the passing in of heat by the contact of the sea with the sides of the vessel and the contact of the outer air, and the radiation from the sun in the tropics, it is necessary to form around the bulk of the goods a sort of envelope which shall be energetically cooled, and even to introduce into the midst of the mass of goods cold surfaces to maintain the requisite low temperature for the perfect preservation of provisions. To ensure a systematic circulation of the uncongealable liquid, and to obtain a uniform exchange of heat at all parts of the surface of the apparatus, divisions formed of strips of wood for example, about 50 millimetres thick, are placed between the two cylinders. It is above all in respect to economy in original outlay, and small amount of space occupied in a vessel, that apparatus of the above kind is advantageous. It permits also of maintaining a circulation of liquid sufficiently cold to ensure the maintenance of the low temperature necessary for the proper preservation of provisions.",GB188001365A,1880,0

"In charging a reverberatory furnace with iron or steel billets the common practice has generally been to place each billet singly, either directly on the furnace bottom by hand, or to use a long charging bar known as a peel, for the purpose. This method of charging is necessarily slow, the operations of the furnace are greatly delayed and the manual labour required for charging is heavy and expensive. With my improved method the number of men required for working the furnace is very much reduced, and the operating of the charging trough involves little or no manual labour, and consequently materially reduces the cost of working.",GB189914073A,1899,1

And also to arrange two or more brakes, (preferably two), to act on the brake wheel of the impression cylinder, and connect them together in such a manner, that when in operation, they will give equal pressure on the brake wheel of the impression cylinder, so as to prevent uneven wear of bearing, and to reduce the hitherto variable pressure of the brake caused by the raising or lowering of the cylinder, and reduce the extraordinary friction caused by using one brake alone. Our object is also attained by running the sheet to within a short distance f its destination, and the tapes or delivery mechanism retaining hold of the latter portion until the cylinder and delivery mechanism starts again, the motion used for reciprocating the bearing portion being disconnected and the said bearing portion being fixed in any desired position, according to the size of sheet being delivered.",GB189707364A,1897,1
The object of the present invention is to produce the necessary adhesion without sensible reaction at the bearings.
