Title: New or Improved Motion-reversing Mechanism.
Inventor: EWING ROBERT
Filed: 1899-11-14
Granted: 1900-01-06
Abstract: 22,692. Ewing, R. Nov. 14. Reversing-gearing.-The driving - pulley C fits over the edges of discs B, B', to either of which it may be connected by clutch segments b, b<1>, carried by the discs and coupled by links d, d' respectively to rings D, D<1> fitted in a grooved block E, movable axially. The disc D is fixed to the shaft, from which motion is transmitted by a pinion A<4>; the disc B<1> is loose, and has on its boss a pinion which drives through a double pinion K, whereby the motion is reversed. The block E is moved by means of a pin, which projects through a slot in the shaft into an annular groove in the block, and is fixed to a rod F, fitted in a longitudinal hole in the shaft and engaging at its projecting end with an arm F<1> in which it is free to rotate. The arm engages with a reversing-plate G provided with a weighted handle ; the plate may be moved by hand to set either clutch in gear, or to disconnect both ; or it may be tilted to engage a rocking arm H, formed with an opening to engage a crank-pin on the worm-wheel I, which gears with a worm J formed on the pulley, whereby the reversal is effected automatically. In one modification, the pulley is arranged to enclose the clutch discs ; in another, the pulley itself carries the clutch segments, and the discs are formed with flanged rims.

Title: Improvements in Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: WILSON CHARLES EDWIN
Filed: 1900-08-28
Granted: 1900-11-03
Abstract: 15,298. Wilson, C. E. Aug. 28. Wireless telegraphy. -Relates to an arrangement of wireless telegraphic apparatus suitable for signalling between floating objects. The apparatus is so arranged that normally a received signal operates an annunciator and sends a reply signal in the form of a continuous electric discharge. The aerial conductor a is connected through a receiver b with a mova b l e conductor c, normally in contact with the stop e, which moves over to the stop d on receipt of a signal. The conductor c is connected through two switches j and l with an electromagnet M and the secondary S of an induction coil respectively. The magnet M normally keeps open the annunciator h, the circuit of the battery f, excepting the shunt circuits through P, including the opposing batteries F, f. The transmitter K is provided with two switches k, o, which control the circuit of the battery F and primary P of the induction coil. A chemical recording-receiver is described in which the stylus connected with the aerial line is separated from the paper strip by a small air gap, so as to allow of a spark or silent discharge.

Title: New or Improved Apparatus for the Exhibition of Pictures, and the like, or Articles for Advertising, or other purposes.
Inventor: FUHLENDORF WALTER
Filed: 1900-10-12
Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 18,149. Fuhlendorf, W. Oct. 12. Advertising; displaying.-Pictures or other articles are exhibited for advertising o r other purposes by apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The pictures &c. are mounted on frames 370, Fig. 2, having projections 39 which rest on bars 35, 36, Fig. 2, thus forming two sets of frames. The projections 39 of the upper set engage with the worms or threads of right-handed screws or worms 1, while the projections 39 of the lower engage with lefthanded screws or worms 4. The screws are actuated by a toothed segment 17 through a pinion 22 and chain gearing, as shown in Fig. 1. The segment, which is constantly rotated on a stud 16, actuates a pinion 22 when it escapes from the pinion 12, thus causing the bands 33, which pass over pulleys as shown, to be moved a step. The rotation of the screws 1 causes the movement of the frames to the left, and the rotation of the screws 4 the movement of the frames to the right. The frames which escape from the screws drop on to projections 34 on the bands, and are thus carried from one set of screws to the other. The pictures &c. are observed through windows 45, 46, 56, 57. In a modification, the bands 33 take up the frames at one end only of the screws, the frame dropping along guides at the other end.

Granted: 1901-02-16
Abstract: 23,427. Sargent, C. E. Dec. 21. Lubricators for gas, naphtha, or gasoline engines, air-compressors, vacuum pumps, or other mechanism in which the pressure falls below that of the atmosphere during the suction stroke. A cylindrical oil cup A, provided with a cap B and base B<1> secured by a bolt C, communicates through passages d with an oil cavity D in the base B'. The cavity D communicates with a tubular chamber G by means of a tube fitted with a needle valve F for controlling the oil supply. The ends of the chamber G are closed by glass plates G', so that the dropping of the oil into the chamber may be visible. An opening in the bottom of the chamber is closed by a valve H' pressed upwards by a spring resting at the lower end on an adjustable plug I which controls the tension of the spring. The nipple part of the base B<1> is attached to the cylinder or to a pipe leading thereto. During the suction stroke, the pressure in the supply pipe falls sufficiently to allow the valve H' to open and permit the oil to be fed from the chamber G to the cylinder. The oil is supplied to the cup A through a hole b in the cap, a plate b<1> pivoted at the bolt C serving as a cover for the hole.

Abstract: 15,467. Bose, J. C., and Bull, S. C. July 30. Coherers are rendered automatically sensitive by occasional "annealing," i.e., heating by means of a surrounding coil of wire carrying an electric current. In a modified arrangement, the coherer may be partially exhausted. Some substances, such as galena, are said to automatically remain sensitive, but these may be treated by the above methods. The Provisional Specification also refers to employing restoring methods, imparting a unidirectional twist ; enclosing the substance in an elastic medium ; employing an irritant vapour or the occlusion of gases ; and adjusting the pressure by a micrometer screw or adjusting the electromotive force until the critical point is reached.

Abstract: 15,991. Lux, H. Aug. 8. Incandescent vapour lamps.-To allow of the use of a long mixing-tube M while maintaining only a small difference between the levels of the burner orifice and the vaporizer K, the mixing-tube M is curved, and the part L thereof is utilized as the upper wall of the vaporizer. The tube R conveying the vapour from the vaporizer K to the nozzle D of the burner may be arranged to pass near the flame to superheat the vapour, which then, in passing through the mixing-tube M, imparts a portion of its beat through the wall L to the vaporizer. The lamp may be started either by means of an independent flame or by an auxiliary burner H, to which just sufficient combustible to effect the starting may be supplied by the pump P.

Granted: 1903-03-05
Abstract: 8295. Beauchamp, E., and Dalboni, C. G. April 9. Tables.-Relates to expanding dining &c. tables. The top is divided into two parts e carried by guide-bars g, h which slide on fixed bars c. On pulling out the part e, fingers v engage projections 4 on a sleeve carried on bearings on a sliding nut r, and traverse it in guides ; this causes the rotation of a shaft j on which is a quick-threaded screw q. Carried on the shaft j is a leaf f hinged at i and resting on rollers m under the table top, when the top is closed up as shown in Fig. 3. The rotation of the shaft j causes the leaf to unfold automatically, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. The part e is then pushed back a little, to allow dowels w to engage the leaf ; during this backward motion the sleeve carrying the projections 4 turns and allows the teeth 3 of pivoted catches to pass. The sleeve is then turned back by a spring. In order to close up the table, the part e is first pulled out slightly and the catches 3 slip over the projections 4, and, when the part e is pushed in, the catch 3 comes in contact with the projections 4 and moves the nut to the left, and so rotates the leaf back to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 3. The catch 3 is prevented from rotating during this motion by a slide z, which is moved to the right by coming in contact with the edge of the leaf f, and is locked in that position by a spring catch. This spring catch is unlocked when the top is moved back to the closed position by a projection 15 engaging an inclined part of the frame.
