Granted: 1902-04-03
Abstract: 8519. Adams, R. April 25. Window, ventilator, and like opening and closing apparatus.- Relates to a mechanism for opening and closing fanlights, ventilators, doors, and analogous articles. Fig. 2 shows the mechanism as applied to open a fanlight c. A threearmed lever a is pivoted to the window c at u and to a link d, which is pivoted to the window frame f at e. The third arm of a is pivoted to a link g, which is actuated by a crank h rotated by worm gearing h<2>. A number of fanlights situated one above the other may be actuated simultaneously by mounting a triple lever like a at the top and bottom of the series of windows, and connecting two corresponding arms by a rod, which thus receives a parallel motion. The series of windows are connected by links to this parallel-motion rod.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Carpets, Plushes, or other Pile Fabrics
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1901-09-10
Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 18,044. Hollingworth, E., [Hutchins, G. F.]. Sept. 10. Looms, pile-forming in : beat-up motions; shuttle boxes.-The shuttle box 8, on the side of the loom from which the pile wires are operated, is secured to an oscillating frame 9 mounted loosely on the shaft 4, on which the lay swords are supported. Motion is communicated to the frame 9 from the lay sword 3 by means of cams 16 secured to a shaft 15, which is supported by a girder 12 extending between the loom frame 1 and an auxiliary frame 2 ; the shaft 15 carries a slotted arm 27, which engages with a pin 28 secured to the lay sword. Each cam preferably has two cam-surfaces 16<1>, 16<11>, respectively engaging with inclined parts 17 fixed to the frame 9, and arms 18 pivoted to the frame and controlled by means of adjustable springs 21. By this means, the frame 9 and shuttle box 8 are moved forward with the lay until it reaches its middle position, and the frame and box then remain stationary until the lay has completed its forward stroke and returned, when the frame and box are swung back with the lay to its extreme backward position. The frame 9 and lay are connected by means of a plate 22, which is bolted to the lay and is formed with a curved slot 22<1> for receiving bolts 23, attached to the frame 9. In a modified form of cam, there is only one cam-surface, and the cam is connected to the inclined part 17 by a spring. The mechanism is particularly adapted for looms for weaving carpets, plush, or other pile fabrics.

Title: Improvements in Circular Knitting Machines
Inventor: SALZER BRUNO
Filed: 1901-11-01
Granted: 1902-03-20
Abstract: 22,053. Salzer, B., and Walther, G. Nov. 1. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to means for producing longitudinal stripes such as III, Figs. 10 and 11, all round the leg of a stocking &c. Some of the needles are formed with long butts, and some with short. The cam 8 is made half the thickness of the cams 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and never operates the short-butted, but always operates the longbutted, needles. The cam 7 has a pin with two flanges 19, between which works a fark 21 capable of sliding and held in its two extreme positions by a spring 22 engaging notches 24. By means of a cam 26 controlled by the pattern mechanism, the cam 7 can be moved in or out ; when it is in, plain work is produced ; when out, the long-butted needles follow the course indicated in cross-hatched lines in Fig. 4, and the short-butted needles follow the course indicated in Fig. 5, thus producing stripes III all round the circle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Screw-making and similar Machines.
Inventor: HERBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1902-06-04
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 12,750. H e r - bert, A . June 4. Screwing; tapping; lathes, - Relates to automatic and other machines for simultaneously boring and screwing, boring and turning externally, or tapping and screwing. Figs. 1 and 2 show, respectively, a side elevation and a sectional plan of a machine arranged simultaneously to bore and screw a boiler-tube ferrule E, carried by a chuck F of any ordinary construction. The drill B is mounted in the end of a tubular spindle B', which can move endwise in, but is rotated by, a pulley B'. By means of a screwed sleeve B<3> and a milled nut B<8>, the drill can be adjusted as regards the screw - cutting bead C. The spindle B<1> rotates in bearings on a slide A, which is moved inwards by a cam on the drum K, acting on a bowl J, on a projection A<6>, or otherwise, its movement being controlled by an adjustable stop A<7>. The screw-cutting head is provided with a sleeve C' fitting into the bearing A<1>, and prevented from turning by a key. It has a small amount of endwise movement against a spring, limited by a screw a, and is opened preferably automatically on the completion of the screwing operation. A projection 0 strikes a lug C<3>, and moves the slide endwise to release the cutters. A handle or lever C' is used to rotate the head to close the cutters. This closing operation is effected automatically when the handle C<4> strikes the stop P. Oil is supplied by a pipe Q, the end of which moves in a tubular bracket Q<1>, connected to the tubular projection A<9> on the bearing A<3>. The oil is thus supplied to the interior of the bearing, and through perforations to the interior of the spindle, which conveys it to the drill to lubricate it, and wash away the cuttings. A slide M carries two cutters M<1> to chamfer the ends of the ferrule, and a cutting-off tool N.

Title: A New or Improved Process of Treating Matts and Raw Metals in Reverberatory Furnaces.
Inventor: CONEIN ALFRED LOUIS ADOLPHE
Filed: 1902-10-01
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 21,391. Conein, A. L. A. Oct. 1. Reverberatory furnaces.-Relates to a process for treating mattes and raw metals, especially for converting copper or nickel matte into copper or nickel, refining black copper, obtaining steel and nickel or chrome steels and puddling iron. A scorifying and oxidizing mixture, consisting of superheated steam, air, and silica, or other scorifying substance, is blown on to the bath in a reverberatory or other furnace in which the metal has been melted, or into which molten metal has been charged. Instead of silica, lime or silicate of lime may be used. Liquid hydrocarbons may also be introduced with the blast to raise the temperature. Other additions, such as chrome or titaniferous materials, may be introduced with the blast to produce special steels. In the manufacture of steel, a basic or neutral lined open hearth is preferably employed. The blast is introduced on each side of the furnace by inclined pipes, placed parallel to each other, but not in line, as shown in Fig. 2. Jets of steam, superheated in coils b in the smoke flues, and controlled by valves g, are used to inject the air, scorifying-materials, and oil. Air is supplied through adjustable openings f in the tuyÞre pipes, oil is led in through the hollow valve spindle g, and solid additions are dropped into the pipe from a hopper.

Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 1826. Everitt, W., and Redman, T. Jan. 25. Hinged valves.-Relates to a valve used in an apparatus for extracting tar and other impurities from gas, and in which apparatus it is necessary to vary the velocity and to change the direction of flow of the gas.
