Title: An Improvement in Sizing Paper.
Inventor: WURSTER CASIMIR
Filed: 1901-06-22
Granted: 1902-05-08
Abstract: 12,769. Wurster, C. June 22.

Granted: 1902-02-06
Abstract: 17,188. Lane, E. J. Aug. 27. ironing-machines; mangling and wringing machines.-Relates to safety gear for machines in which goods &c. are fed between rollers such as ironing-machines, calenders, and wringers. Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the apparatus as applied to a Decoudun ironing-machine. Standards 32 at each end of the machine are provided with bearings to support a tubular shaft 37 carrying end levers 36 connected by rods 35 to levers 33 secured to a shaft journalled near the bottom of the standards. The lower lever 33 at the driving-end is connected to a lever 28 forming a bell-crank combination secured to a trip piece 20 supporting a second trip piece 44 attached to a weighted lever 18, which stops the machine when in its mid position, and allows it to run forward when upright, and backwards when in its lowest position. A strip of brass 39, adjustably secured to the tubular shaft 37, held in front of the feeding-mouth C, operates the weighted lever 18 to reverse the machine directly it is pushed towards the roll A. The handle 47 carries a catch 45 pivoted to the bell crank which supports the weighted lever 18. The catch is normally held clear of the lever 18 by the weight 48 ; by pulling the handle forwards the catch is brought under the lever 18, and the machine may be stopped or reversed according to the amount the handle is moved. The driving-gear preferably consists of loose pulleys 5, 6 driven by open and crossed driving-belts, either of which may be locked to the hollow shaft 4 by the expansible friction-ring clutches 7, 8 operated by the sliding rod 13. The weighted lever 18 is secured to the shaft 14 which carries the forked lever 16 provided with set-screws 17 to engage the block 19 on the rod 13, so that the latter is free to rotate with the shaft 4. To prevent reversal of the machine by the ordinary pressure of the attendant's hand against the strip 39, an adjustable spring 53 is attached to the lever 28 and to the piece 51 which carries a set-screw 52 to regulate the distance the trip piece 20 projects under the trip piece 44.

Title: Improvements in Sight-feed Lubricators.
Inventor: LAMPLOUGH HETTIE
Filed: 1901-10-10
Granted: 1902-07-03
Abstract: 20,260. Lamplough, H., and Lamplough, F. Oct. 10. Lubricators, sight-feed, for steam engines. Condensed steam is supplied to the oil reservoir a through a pipe b, communicating by passages c, c<1>, controlled by a stop valve c<2>, with the boiler. The oil, on being displaced, passes through passages c<3>, c<4>, controlled by a valve c<5>, and through water contained in the sight-feed tube d to a chamber c<7>, the entrance to this chamber being controlled by a valve e. This chamber has connections by means of an opening c<8> with the boiler, and by means of a minute orifice c<9> with the valve box of the engine. The oil supplied to the chamber is carried by the steam to the parts to be lubricated. The passages leading to and from the reservoir are formed in a casting C, and the reservoir a is screwed to this casting, so that it can be readily removed for draining, refilling, or cleaning. This arrangement enables the lubricator to be more conveniently attached to a wall, or the splash board of a car, &c.

Granted: 1903-02-25
Abstract: 2034. Baggett, H. Jan. 25. Arc lamps.-A clutch lamp is provided with an improved movable carbon socket, clutch, and means for holding and closing the globe. The carbon socket is made of the form shown in Fig. 2, with a loose segment 25, which is held by a helical spring placed in a groove 27<a> ; the opening in the socket is flared at its lower end to admit the carbon readily. The socket slides in an insulated vertical tube, in the lamp, and has an arm 26<a> projecting through a slot in the tube, to make connection with a flexible conductor. The clutch, Fig. 3, consists of two short tubes held together by a hinge or metal strip 30 at one side, and pressed apart by a spring 31 at the opposite side, adjacent to an arm 17. The clutch is placed in the vertical tube ; the arm 17 projects through the slot therein, and is linked to a regulating lever, which carries cores below series and shunt solenoids, and the piston of a dash-pot. A clutch-releasing stop 24, Fig. 5, is carried on a disc 22 at the lower end of the vertical tube 1. The lower carbon-holder is supported by side rods 20 carried within the globe by porcelain insulators on the disc 22. A helical wire resistance is laid round radial porcelain insulators at the top of the lamp.

Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 12,000. Philippi, O. E., and Bisset, D. L. May 27. Surfacing and polishing knife blades &c. Fig. 2 shows a plan of the machine, and Figs. 3 and 4 the work-holders. The blades &c. b are clamped against the blocks 6 and the adjustable abutments 7 by levers 6. The blocks 5 are carried on each end of the reversible carrier 8, so that the workman can fix a pair of blades while another pair is being ground. The carrier turns on the shaft 9, but can be fixed to it by a clutch 12 operated by a hand-lever 17. The shaft 9, and with it the carrier 8, is rocked and traversed so as to present every part of the article to the grindstone 1. It is rocked by a lever 13 operated by an eccentric on the shaft 27 provided with a driving-pulley 28. The shaft 9 is traversed axially by a link 24, lever 23, and crank disc 22 on the shaft 21 connected to the shaft 27 by bevel gearing. The work carrier 8 and its operating-mechanism are carried by a slide 11, which is reciprocated, so as to carry the work to and from the grinding-wheel, by a screwed spindle 19 connected to a roller 11<4> acted on by the cam 16 on the shaft 16<1>. Motion of the spindle 19 away from the grinding-wheel is effected by a roller which is carried on the cam 16 and acts against a strap 11<3> provided with a cam-like surface. The shaft 16<1> is connected to the shaft 21 by worm gearing 31 and spur gearing 29, 29<1>, the wheel 29<1> sliding without turning on the shaft 30. The slide 11 may be advanced with respect to the spindle 19, to compensate for the wear of the grindstone, by means of a hand-wheel 20 which actuates a nut on the spindle through worm gear- ing 18. The wheel is trued by a roller 33 made of corrugated discs of hard material. This roller is advanced against the wheel by a hand-wheel 37, which operates worm gearing and bevel gearing 36, screws working in nuts 34' carried by the roller frame. The roller is traversed laterally by a crank, connecting-rod 39', rocking frame 38, and connect- ing-rod 35<1> attached to the frame of the roller.

Abstract: 12,959. Lake, H. H., [General Electric Co.]. June 6. Wire, covering by winding. - Relates to a machine for winding insulating- tape on electric coils, such as those of transformers and generators. Figs. 1, 3, and 5 show the apparatus as applied to taping a rectangular coil. The inclined table 2 for supporting the coil 45 is straight in front and circular at the back, and is provided with rollers 25 adapted to be rotated by gearing 26 and the travelling chain 28. The tape-winder or bobbin-carrier 3 is supported on three rollers 5, 6, 7, the roller 5 being carried by a bracket 8. It is driven from one of the rollers, and is provided with a hinged part 4 for the passage of the coil. A travelling belt 10 is arranged to move the coil while the bobbin-carrier rotates, the moving parts being operated from a motor 21 through gearing arranged to produce the desired speed relation. When winding the corners of the coil, the feed-belt 10 is stopped, and the cylindrical or coned rollers 25 caused to rotate simultaneously by operating a clutch. The clutch is so arranged that the belt 10 and the rollers cannot both move at the same time. Adjustable guide-rollers 41 are provided to keep the coil in position. Fig. 4 shows a modified arrangement for winding cylindrical coils. The coil is supported on rollers 43 driven by a common central wheel 49. The bobbin 54 is carried by chains 56 having detachable links for inserting the coil. The carrier 57 is adjustable in guides 58. Endless-chain belts, such as shown in Fig. 4, may be substituted for the annular bobbin-carrier 3 shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 5.
