Title: Improvements in Revolving Hook Sewing Machines.
Inventor: ANSCHUETZ PAUL
Filed: 1904-07-07
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,229. Ansch³tz, P., and Bickelhaupt, G. July 7. Lock-stitch hook sewing-machines. - A crank arm Q, fixed to an oscillating shaft, carries a loop-taking device or hook N and a loop spreader, which oscillate around a stationary bobbin F. The loop spreader is attached to one end of a small shaft, passing through an eye in the crank Q, and to the other end of this shaft is fixed a rod P' which slides in a pivoted sleeve P<2> so as to give a partial rotary motion to the loop spreader. The loop taker N is attached to a collar, which is mounted freely on the loop-spreader shaft, and it is given a similar rotary motion by being attached to a bar R. When the needle is in its lowest position, the crank Q has carried the looping-devices above the bobbin and to the rear of the needle, so that, on its return, the loop taker engages the thread loop. This loop is retained until freed by the rotation of the loop taker, caused by the bar R, when the loop passes on to the loop spreader, as indicated in Fig. 6. The latter then carries the loop round so that it may be pulled over the bobbin case by the take-up. The bobbin case I is provided with a cross-rib I' which engages with the spool-case carrier and while allowing sufficient movement to permit the passage of the thread loop, prevents rotation. To acilitate the passage of the thread loop from the spreader, a central rib P is bifurcated at i and a V-shaped groove of increasing depth is formed between the branches. The nose of the loop spreader is correspondingly bevelled and, by mounting the shaft, carrying the crank arm Q, and the bobbin eccentrically, the spreader is brought into close proximity to the bobbin case at the time when the loop is released. The bobbin is retained in the bobbin case by a spring I<8>. The bobbin case is held in a frame or carrier attached to the frame of the machine. The front part is hinged to the body, to permit the removal of the bobbin case, and is normally held closed by a spring. In a modification, the arm Q performs complete revolutions. Governing under thread.-The thread passes out through an oblique slot I<5>, then under a spring, and finally emerges at I<7>.

Windows and the like, cleaning.-In apparatus of the type wherein the outside of the window is cleaned by a pad reciprocated over it by means of cords passing over the top of the window sash, the board, carrying the pad b, Fig. 1, by clips or otherwise, is provided on its back with brackets extending downwards and bearing a weight d. At the top of the board is a strut e to which a cord f may be fastened, or the cord may pass through an eye in the end of the strut and be attached to the board, as shown. Another cord is attached centrally near the bottom of the board, and, by varying the relative tensions of the two, pressure is exerted on either end, or the board may be tilted to pass over a window bar. Fig. 5 shows a support for the upper sash. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, two padded boards are employed, hinged on rods k, l connected by a bar m. The upper rod carries a strut, and the lower rod a pair of arms supporting a weight or weights. Cords are attached to the strut on the rod k, and to a yoke n secured to the rod l. Figs. 4, 6, and 7 show means for guiding the cords. A trolley fitted with antifriction rollers p, q, concave guide-rolls r, and guide-hoops s enclosing them is placed on the upper sash. The spindles of the rollers q are suspended in blocks adjustably secured on pins t, so as to fit sashes of different sizes ; they are also supported by a frame u. Wire or other brushes may replace the pads for rough surfaces. According to the Provisional Specification, a metal shield of #-shape, in some case fitted with a roller for the cords, may replace the trolley.

Title: A Negative Frame with Triple Plate-holder for Colour Photography.
Inventor: FRACHEBOURG JEAN
Filed: 1904-10-13
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 22,077. Frachebourg, J. April 11, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Dark slides.-A dark slide takes the form of a frame containing holders for three plates with their colour filters. The three plate-holders 1, 2, 3, Figs. 1 and 2, are pivoted on trunnions c, f, i and the plates are exposed in succession. When the shutter a<1> has been opened and the plate exposed, the projection n on the holder 1 is released from the catch o on the rod p by means of the pneumatic bulb q or the push s. The hook lever z limits the fall of the holders. The spring m then forces the trunnions f along the sector slot g and the holder 2 into position. When released, this falls into the position shown in Fig. 4, and the holder 3 is forced along the slotj into position for exposure. The plates are raised by the arm w, the stud x on which actuates a pin x<1> to turn the spindle y and so raise the lever z. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the coloured filters are mounted in frames 5, hinged at 6 to the holder and held in position by clips 7. The plate3 are initially in a slanting position and are released in two stages. By pressing the knob 9 or actuating the bulb q, the frame 5 is released from the catches o, causing the holders to assume a vertical position. On releasing the knob or bulb, the holder is released and the plate falls over. The holders fall into hooks 3<a> which are controlled by springs 11, 15, to deaden the fall. The plate-holders 3 can be released from the fingers o by the handle 16. To adapt the dark slide for stereoscopic work, folded partitions are suitably attached between the successive holders.

Abstract: 22,221. Warwick, B. W. Oct. 15. Exposures, determining; developing.-An ordinary alarm clock is converted into a timing-appliance for photographic processes. A spring stop-finger K, Fig. 2, for the balance L is applied or released by a lever H having a lug I on its hub J. Alarms.-The spring of an alarm train provided with an anchor P and hammer Q, Fig. 2, is wound up, when the clock is started, by the starting-lever H, and the train runs down when a spring stopfinger T' is pressed back by a lever F<1> so that its turned-up end is clear of a tail S projecting from the anchor P. The alarm is set to strike when the desired number of minutes have elapsed after the movement is started. This is done by turning back a hand B, Fig. 1, on the minute-arbor. When the hand regains zero, it operates the releasing-lever F<1> by striking a protruding companion lever F. The hand may be set in the dark by touch, or by hearing, as it sticks over nipples E on the dial. The starting-arm, in returning, may operate a distant bell or shutter pneumatically or electrically. Using a movement from which the balance has been removed, the setting-hand of the above alarm makes a revolution in one minute, and, by the provision of the ratchet-wheel G', Fig. 9, eight revolutions are allowed, the arm E<1> turning with the hand B and wiping the ratchetwheel. In order to use only two turns of the mainspring in the going-barrel A', Fig. 2, the arbor is provided with a finger B' and the barrel with a piloted fork C<1> between banking pins D<1>.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Pumps and the like
Inventor: BRYANT GEORGE WALLACE
Filed: 1905-10-14
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 20,815. Bryant, G. W. Oct. 14. Annular-chamber type of rotary pumps or motors with rotary abutments. To a central shaft i, Figs. 1 and 2, are secured two hollow sleeves h<1>, each of which carries a hollow piston h, rotating in an annular chamber e. Two crescent-shaped abutments j' are made integral with a central cylindrical part j<3>. The outer curved surfaces of the abutments are provided with teethjl, which mesh with teeth h<3> partially encircling the piston sleeve. The construction shown allows the piston to extend beyond the axis of the abutment chamber. The action as a pump is as follows :-The piston h, Fig. 2, is rotated counter-clockwise. The fluid in front of the piston is driven through the port d' into the discharge pipe d. The suction behind the piston causes fluid to flow up the suction pipe c, through the port h<4> in the sleeve h<1> into the interior of the piston, and through the port h<5> into the chamber e, ready to be discharged through the port d<1> when the piston passes the abutment. When the teeth on one pair of abutments and piston pass out of mesh, the teeth of the other pair pass into mesh, so that continuous rotation of the abutments is secured. The pistons proper never actually touch the abutments. When the apparatus is used as a motor, the pipe c is the inlet and the pipe d is the exhaust. A single-cylinder modification is described, the construction being similar to the above except that the second piston and abutment are omitted and the casing modified accordingly.
