Patent GB-190108469-A (GB)
Title: A New Organ Stop to be applied to Pipe and other Organs Enabling the Performer to Execute a True Musical "Slur" from the Manual of the Instrument.
Inventor: HANSON JOHN TREADWAY
Filed: 1901-04-25
Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 8469. Hanson, J. T. April 25. Organs. - The invention consists of means for enabling a slur to be executed. The keys are divided into groups, and to each group a pipe A, or a reed or the like, is allotted. The pipe is slotted at C, the slot being covered by a slide D which is attached by cords E, F to a sector Q pivoted at I. The board M, which forms the upper part of the sector, is notched at Z, and a pair of adjustable wires X, Y pass through opposite slots, and are connected to levers S corresponding to the keys. A lever S and pair of wires X, Y corresponds to each key, so that several pairs of wires are attached to each of the boards M. The depression of a lever S shifts the slide D an amount determined by the length of the wires, and appropriate to the note which it is desired to produce. The depression of the lever S is effected by a rail m actuated by a bellows s, which is put into operation when any key is depressed. The rail m and the bellows are connected to the whole range of keys. The selection of the levers S is effected by the movement of a block b, which is carried by each of them and which is moved underneath the rail m by the key which is depressed. This movement is effected by stickers in the keys which engage with levers g. These levers act upon projections f, connected with the blocks b, which are thus moved. The wind is admitted to the pipe A by a pallet c<1> common to each group of keys. A slur effect is produced if the movement of the lever S takes place after the pallet c' is opened. If it takes place before, a staccato effect is produced. Thus, if the end g<1> of the key acts on the tail f<1> of the pallet c<1> through a rail h<1>, it moves the pallet sooner than if the rail were not there, as it then has further to move before it could operate the pallet. The effect thus depends on the position of the rail h<1>. To enable the slur to be carried to the next pipe and corresponding group of keys, a flap l<1>, pivoted at m<1>, overlaps the keys of each group, and has slickers n' which set the blocks b of the highest and lowest notes of adjacent keys. No sound is produced, however, until these last-mentioned keys are depressed, as their pallets are not open. A slur can be executed in like manner on a reed by altering the length of the vibrating part.

Title: An Improved Speed Measurer for Rotating Shafts.
Inventor: HEYDE JULIUS
Filed: 1901-05-03
Granted: 1901-08-31
Abstract: 9207. Heyde, J., and Guth, A. May 3. Speed indicators.-The shaft, of which the speed of revolution is observed, bears a worm b to which a similar worm c sliding on a parallel shaft acts as a nut. The second shaft is geared to a third shaft, which bears an epicyclic train in a cradle p. The epicyclic train ends in a small disc o, which is driven by the face of a large disc k turning at a uniform speed. The cradle p of the epicyclic train bears a concentric toothed sector i, which is in gear with a toothed sector h on a tumbler shaft, and the latter bears an arm g extending to the sliding worm c. Thus, any movement of the sliding worm along its shaft shifts the epicyclic train over the surface of the disc, and so changes the speed at which the sliding worm is rotated. When the speed of rotation of the sliding worm is equal to the speed of the worm on the observed shaft, it is no longer shifted along the shaft, and the speed of revolution is indicated by its position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HASELWANDER FRIEDRICH AUGUST
Filed: 1901-05-14
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 10,002. Haselwander, F. A. May 14. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-Two cylinders are employed, a working cylinder z<1> and a displacer cylinder z<2>, connected by two ports m<1>, m<2>. In a four-stroke cycle engine, Fig. 1, the air charge having been drawn in through the valve v<1> and compressed, the piston k<2> closes the port m<2> and forces the air remaining in it through the port m<1>, which carries with it into the cylinder z<1> a charge of oil admitted to the passage m<1> through the valve u. Exhaust takes place through the valve v<2>. According to the direction of running the engine may ignite at constant volume or constant pressure. When using gas, the gas is drawn in through the valve v<1> either before or after the air, according to whether the engine is erect or inverted ; or the cylinder z<2> may be made of suitable dimensions to serve as a gas pump. The engine may be made to work on a two-stroke cycle by providing it with a third port g for the passage of compressed air entering through the valve v<1> at the end of the out-stroke. The engine shown in Fig. 2 is designed to work on a twostroke cycle. The exhaust port a is uncovered by the working piston k<1>, and both cylinders are flushed with air admitted from the crank chamber through the port l. The combustible is forced into the working cylinder as in the four-stroke cycle engine. The principle of working may be applied to engines with cylinders differently disposed and of different relative dimensions. The passages may be fitted with spraying-devices, and may be heated for vaporizing the oil. Vaporizing-plates may be made red hot and placed in the cylinder z<1>.

Title: Improvements in Means for Automatically Unrolling the Warp in Power Looms
Inventor: JANSSON JOHAN AUGUST
Filed: 1901-06-01
Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 11,291. Jansson, J. A. June 1. Loom let-off motions.-The unwinding of the warp threads from the warp beam of a power loom is regulated by means of a spring q connected to a lever f attached to a shaft b, which supports a parallel rod d. The warp threads pass beneath the shaft b and over the rod d. A pawl i engages with the teeth of a ratchet-wheel k carried by a shaft to which motion is transmitted intermittently from the warp beam a by means of gearing n, m. The pawl i carries a piece with two horns h, p, respectively adapted to engage with a shoulder g on the lever f and the teeth of the wheel k; the pawl, together with its horned attachmeLt, acts as an escapement. When the tension on the warp threads increases, the lever is oscillated until the shoulder g strikes the horn h, and causes the release of the pawl i from the wheel k, which then rotates through one tooth space. A modification of the let-off motion, for use in ribbon looms, has the ratchet-wheel, corresponding to the wheel k, mounted directly on the warp beam, and the warp passes beneath a pulley connected to one end of a lever which controls the action of the pawl of the ratchet-wheel.

The tobacco roll t is carried forwards to the paper tube by lateral and base belts, as in the previous arrangement, but the base belt 3 does not pass through the mouthpiece 9, being led downwards over guide-pulleys 4, 5. The tobacco roll is carried forwards through the mouthpiece 9 into a wrapper tube placed on the tubular guide 12 by intermittently-actuated grooved rollers as shown. A space is left between the end of the mouthpiece 9 and the guide 12 in which the knife works, this knife being carried by an oscillating lever actuated by a cam. The wrapper tubes are fed from a grooved drum 19, and are placed on the guide 12 by any suitable mechanism. The completed cigarette is removed by a hook 21 mounted on a pivoted frame 22 carried on a sliding piece 24, which receives a reciprocating motion from a rocking lever 32 actuated by a cam-operated arm 33 and pin- and-slot mechanism. An oscillating lever 28 carries a roller 29, which bears on the frame 22, and depresses it, when in its advanced position, so as to cause the hook 21 to pass through a slot in the guide 12 and engage the cigarette, which is drawn off as the carriage 24 moves back. The rod 37 on the arm 33 is adjustable vertically, so as to move the pin in the slot and thus regulate the movement of the carriage 24 &c.
