Title: Improvements in Kneading Machines.
Inventor: WURSTER CASIMIR
Filed: 1902-07-28
Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 16,712. Wurster, C. July 28. Moving-stirrer apparatus.-Fig. 1 shows a sectional plan of a machine for kneading pasty materials. The screw b turns in a trough a, which is preferably conical, and kneads the material, which is introduced by a hopper and ejected through a perforated plate d. The pitch of the screw diminishes towards the delivery end of the trough, and adjustable screws forming scrapers e prevent the material from adhering to the screw b, which is cut away at parts f so as to clear the scrapers. The scrapers are withdrawn when not required, as when the machine is used for mincing food. Fig. 2 shows the scrapers e fixed to a frame g having end-plates h, which are slotted to take over the ends of the screw b. In another arrangement, the scrapers consist of blades i, Fig. 4, mounted on a spindle carried by a frame k which is introduced into the hopper c ; the rotation of the screw b causes the blades to turn on the spindle. Several of these blades may be provided in the trough itself, being mounted on spindles carried by a plate held in position by screws. Figs. 6 and 7 show screws b arranged to exactly fit the trough a, so that only a small quantity of the paste to be kneaded can be introduced at a time, the threads of one screw fitting between the threads of the other, so that each screw acts as a scraper to the other. The screws may be of the same or of opposite pitch, and may turn in the same or in opposite directions ; they may be geared together, or one may drive the other by friction. The delivery opening may be in an end-plate q, hinged to the machine to allow of the removal of the screws, and may be more or less closed by a plate s held in the desired position by a set-screw t. The delivery opening is so placed that the liquid which is used at the beginning of the operator cannot run out, and the machine may be cleaned by introducing a little dry starch towards the end of the operation.

Patent GB-190305689-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Azo Colouring Matter.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1903-03-11
Granted: 1904-01-07
Abstract: 5689. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 11. Dyes, artificial.-One molecular proportion of a monoalkyl-p-phenylenediamine, or a homologue thereof, is treated with at least two molecular proportions of nitrous acid, whereby bodies are obtained which may be regarded as p-diazomonoalkylnitrosamines. These combine with dihydroxynaphthalene disulphonic acid in the presence of caustic alkali or sodium carbonate or acetate. The new colouring-matters have a nitroso group, and can be fixed on the fibre if dyed in a bath slightly acidulated with acetic acid. They give violet-red colours. If dyed as usual in the presence of a mineral acid, the nitroso group is split off, and dye-stuffs, colouring wool blue shades, result. In this case it is preferable to add sodium bisulphite. The nitroso group can also be split off by saponifying-bodies. In examples given, monomethyl-pphenylenediamine hydrochloride, or the corresponding ethyl body, dissolved in water and hydrochloric acid, is mixed, while cooling, with sodium nitrite. The yellowish-brown solution is allowed to flow into a solution of the sodium salts of 1 : 8 - dihydroxynaphthalene - 3 : 6 - disulphonic acid to which sodium acetate has been added. The colouring-matter is precipitated by common salt. The nitroso group may be split off by treating a solution of the dye-stuff with dilute hydrochloric acid, and boiling for a short time. The saponified solution is cooled, and the colouring-matter is precipitated by common salt.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Preparing Tobacco Leaves for Manufacture into Cigar and other Tobacco Products.
Inventor: ERTHEILER PHILIP HENRY
Filed: 1903-04-15
Granted: 1903-08-20
Abstract: 8534. Ertheiler, P. H. April 15. Tobacco. - Tobacco leaves are prepared for manufacture into cigars and other tobacco products by apparatus which reduces, by pressure, the stems and veins in the leaf to the thickness of the web, without disintegrating the leaf. The apparatus is constructed with a pair of rolls 8, 9, Fig. 5, preferably of chilled iron, mounted in bearings fitting in vertical guides 6 extending from a bed-plate 5, which is fixed to parallel beams 2, Fig. 1, supported on legs 4. The rolls are pressed together by adjustable screws 15 passing through the removable caps 11 of the guides, and bearing against the springs resting on the upper roll bearings. An endless non-corrodible sheet-metal apron 24 passes between the rolls 8, 9, and round rollers mounted in open adjustable bearings at the ends of the frame. Springs draw the bearings outwards to keep the apron tight, and the rollers are driven by chains and sprocket-wheels from the shaft of the roll 8. The apron is supported at intervals by rollers 26 resting in open bearings. Another endless sheetmetal apron 39 passes round the roller 9, over a guide-roller 38 supported in horizontally adjustable bearings carried by brackets fixed to the guides 6, and round a roller 31 mounted in open bearings in a vertically-adjustable frame 28. The frame is pivoted at its lower end, and is adjusted and held in a more or less vertical position by screwed rods 32 engaging with nuts 33 supported by springs on the end of pivoted tubes 34. The roller 31 is driven at both ends by chains and sprocket-wheels from the shaft 27, which is driven in a similar manner from the shaft 68, and the roller 9 is driven from the roller 8, which is driven by wheels from the shaft 68. The tobacco leaves are placed on feeding-boards at each side of the machine, and are opened and transferred by several attendants on to the apron 24, the stems being placed transversely to the apron. The apron conveys the leaves between the rollers, where they are pressed between the aprons 24 and 39. A doctor 43, Fig. 5, mounted in adjustable bearings 44, and vibrated laterally by a cam on the apron-roller shaft, is pressed by a spring 45 against the apron 39, to remove the tobacco adhering to it, and a doctor 48, Fig. 1, similarly mounted and vibrated, bears on the apron 24. Two sets of lifting-tackle 59, suspended from trolleys 60 running on a rail above the machine, are arranged for removing and replacing the rolls 8, 9. To remove a roll, sleeves 57, also shown in Fig. 6, are slipped on the ends of the roller shaft, and projecting arms on the sleeves carry lugs 58, into which the hooks 59 of the tackle take.

Title: Improvements relating to Typesetting Machines.
Inventor: JOHNSON FRANK AMOS
Filed: 1903-05-12
Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 10,797. Johnson, F. A. May 12. Type, setting.-A device for lifting type from the conveyer of a type-setting machine and placing it in the composing-stick, consists of a pair of gripping-arms, rendered operative by a trigger device, and a striker, which forces the type, when raised, out of the arms into the stick. The arms a are rocked between the horizontal and vertical by a shaft b, oscillated by an eccentric. They are pivoted and have springs tending to close them, but are kept apart by a piece i carried by a slide g. Two bell-crank levers s, h are pivoted on the slide g and are connected by a bar j, itself connected to the slide g by a spring k. The type c is brought up by the conveyer, passes between the arms a, and is arrested by a step d on the slide g. The arm f of the lever e is thus pressed outwards, and the arm of the lever h is brought into the path of the lever l, which is constantly vibrated by a cam. The slide g is carried forward by the lever l and the piece i withdrawn from the arms a allowing them to close on the type, which is raised until opposite the composing-stick n, Fig. 4. The striker o, which is operated by an eccentric on the driving- shaft, then pushes the type from the arms into the stick. The composing-stick may be mounted on a vertical pivot and held in the working position by springs.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: STITT WILLIAM RICHARD
Filed: 1903-05-19
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 11,349. Stitt, W. R., and Davidson, A. J. May 19. Loom stop-motions; healds.-In a warp stopmotion, metallic loops a are suspended from the heald wires or cords A, and through the loops pass the lower heald shafts D, and oscillating angle-bars E. When the healds are lowered, the loops a are drawn up by the tension of the warps A<2>, and support the lower members e<1> of the bars E, so that grooves are formed between the shafts D and bars E. When the healds are raised, the loops a dc not support the members e<1>, and the upper members e fall over to close the grooves, thus withdrawing projections e' from under a plate f<3> on a sliding rod F, which is normally at rest, being held down by a spring or by gravity. If a warp breaks, the corresponding loop a falls, and when the shaft of healds is lowered a projection a<1> on the loop enters the groove between the shaft D and bar E, so that, when the shaft of healds is raised, the groove is not closed, and the projection e' lifts the plate f<3> and rod F. When this rod is raised, it acts through levers or flexible connections upon the knocking-off handle, or upon the weft fork, to stop the loom. The rod or the projection e' may be arranged to make contact between two terminals of an electric circuit, to stop the loom by electromagnetic means. Modified arrangements are described, in one of which the bar E is oscillated by a cam on the rod F, and, in others, the bar E is dispensed with, and the shaft D is caused to oscillate until it is locked by a projection on a fallen loop entering a groove in the shaft. A projection from the shaft then fails to enter a slot in the rod F, and the rod F is raised. The arrangements may be applied to the upper heald shaft. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that a catch on the side of the heald frame may be employed to engage the rod F, when the catch is overbalanced by a heald wire or cord falling upon a cord connected to the catch, and extending across the heald frame.

Exercising-apparatus.-Relates to modifications of apparatus for exercising the arms and legs, described in Specification No. 15,687, A.D. 1902, the object being to lessen the travel of the weights at each stroke of the arm or leg. The feet are placed in stirrups s, Fig. 1, which are connected by a single cord z. The cord passes round pulleys r, which are mounted on an axle at the top of the frame g, and thence over guiding pulleys o, and under a weighted pulley l. For exercising the arms, cords z<1> are fastened to the frame at F by hooks H, and passed through hooks in the upper part of the frame. From these they pass under weighted pulleys l<1> and over pulleys r', terminating in handles h<1>. The pulleys r' are mounted on the same axle as the pulleys r, and can be braked to throw additional tension on the ropes. The hooks H may be released and caused to fasten to the top of the frame, the handles h<1> being pulled out. The free rope thus pulled out is passed under fixed pulleys r<2>, thereby altering the direction in which the pull is applied.
