Title: Improvements in and relating to Collars and Ties.
Inventor: WATSON JAMES YEAMAN
Filed: 1902-11-03
Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 23,974. Watson, J. Y. Nov. 3. Collars; neckties. - Relates to double-folded collars, and has for its object to render easier the tying of the tie sufficiently tightly to prevent the ends of the collar from gaping apart at the top. For this purpose, two slits 10 are made in that fold 11 of the collar which lies next the neck, and the neckband of the tie is passed through these slits, instead of being passed right round the collar as is usual. Removable U-shaped pieces of metal or celluloid may be clipped on to that edge of each slit 10 against which the neckband bears. With this construction of collar a shorter tie than usual can be worn. In a modification, two loops are attached to the inside part 11, and are situated near the top of the fold so that, when the neckband is fastened in the usual manner, the tendency of the ends of the collar to gape [apart will be lessened.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Refrigerating Apparatus.
Inventor: SCHOU HANS HENRIK
Filed: 1903-12-16
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 27,607. Schou, H. H. Dec. 16. Refrigerating.--Relates to an ammonia-absorption refrigerator in which the regulating-valve, instead of being arranged between the vessel containing the ammonia and the evaporator as hitherto, is arranged between the evaporator and the absorption receiver, so that only vapours of ammonia, and not liquid ammonia, passes through the valve ; by this arrangement the cooling-pipes are kept at a uniform temperature throughout, and also at any desired temperature. Liquid ammonia flows from the vessel c, through the pipe d and valve f, into the horizontal cooling-pipes b, which are arranged within the cooling-chamber a, and are partly filled with the liquid ammonia. A pipe g allows the vapour to escape from the pipe b through a cock k and regulating-valve i to the absorber h. The cock k is used to start or stop the cooling-action, and the regulating-valve i is adjusted according to the temperature which has to be maintained in the cooling-chamber. The pressure in the evaporator pipes may, by the aid of the valve i, be maintained slightly greater than in the absorber.

Title: Improvements in Music Leaf Turners.
Inventor: CLARKE IRA J
Filed: 1904-09-26
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 20,704. Clarke, I. J. Sept. 26. Leaf-turners.-Each leaf of a music book is held between two transparent fingers carried on an arm, which, on releasing a catch, is caused by springs to turn from right to left. The music book rests on a shelf 2 of a lyre-shaped back 1, and is held by a pin 5 and a hook 6 bent twice at right-angles at the top and fitting rather tightly in jaws 7. The shelf 2 is bent down at right-angles to form supports 3, 4 for a leaf-turning mechanism. The apparatus, backed, if desired, with felt &c., may be attached to any instrument by causing a sliding jaw carried on a screw, at the back of the part 3, turned by a hand-wheel 11, to grip part of the instrument between the jaw and the shelf 2. A series of arms 12 are pivoted on a pin 13 and each carries at its outer end a pair of fingers 16 of celluloid or other transparent material, rather tightly pivoted to the arm by rivets 17. Each arm passes through a slot in a casing 14 and is pulled from right to left by a spring coiled round the pin 13 and attached to the arm. The arms enter slots in a casing 19, and are released one by one by a pin 18 sliding in the casing 19, and pressed upwards by a spring contained in a casing 20 which is secured to the part 4 of the back. To provide for the depression of the pin 18 sufficiently to clear one of the arms 12 and thus allow it to turn and carry with it one of the leaves of music, a rod 22 is carried in guides 23 and a ratchet or clutch ring 24, with an internal diameter slightly greater than that of the pin 18, is pivoted to the rod 22 at its upper end 25 and passes over the pin 18. The clutch-ring is pressed upwards by a spring 26, but is normally held out of contact with the pin 18 by a fixed stop 31. By depressing a button 27, the clutch is brought into action and the pin 18 is also depressed through a distance sufficient to clear one of the arms 12, this distance being fixed by a collar 28 coming into contact with the upper guide 23. The rod 22 is restored to its original position, when released, by means of a spring 29 confined between a collar 30 on the rod 22 and the lower guide 23, and when this has taken place, the pin 18 is free from the constraint of the clutch 24 and is held by another similar clutch-ring 32 which is pivoted and pressed upwards by a spring 26<a>. Thus each time the button 27 is depressed, the pin 18 clears one of the arms 12, and is held in position by the clutch-ring 32. To return the arms 12 to the right side, a frame 34 is pivoted on the pin 13, and is held on the left side by springs coiled about the pin 13 and attached to the frame. When the frame is turned over to the right, the arms are carried with it and forced into the slots in the casing 19 and a sloping projection 38 engages a projection 32<a> on the clutch-ring 32, thus raising it and releasing the pin 18 and re-setting the apparatus.
