Granted: 1898-12-31
Abstract: 20,740. Thompson, W. P., [Lenz, O.]. Oct. 1. Incandescent gas &c. Lamps.-An incandescent mantle is prepared by first impregnating a mantle of textile fabric with a known solution of an oxide or oxides of metals or of earths, destroying the fibre by combustion and subsequently treating with a solution of nitrate of cerium or a product thereof. The latter process may be preceded by treatment with a solution of a salt of chromium or uranium, or both, or an oxide or oxides of metals capable of developing illuminating power when heated. By adding a small quantity of yttrium to the coating-fluid the mantle is rendered very hard. The mantle may first be impregnated with a solution containing 30 parts of nitrate of zirconium, 3 parts of nitrate of calcium, and 1¢ parts of nitrate of magnesium, then dried, subjected to combustion and treated with a mixture of 0À04 per cent. of chromic acid and of 0À06 per cent. of nitrate of uranium, and subsequently coated with a stiffening-fluid containing nitrate of cerium, to which a small quantity of yttrium may be added.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Clutches and Brakes.
Inventor: BURCHELL ERNEST
Filed: 1899-10-10
Granted: 1900-10-10
Abstract: 20,287. Burchell, E. Oct. 10. Clutches ; brakes.-Relates to a free-wheel clutch for bicycles &c. adapted for back-pedalling, or for applying a brake. The chain or gear wheel 5, loose on the hub 2, carries, on a disc 14 fixed to it, a pivoted block 8. This block is formed with a tooth 12, adapted to engage with a stationary toothed wheel 4, and with a dog having two driving- surfaces 9, 10 adapted to engage with a toothed wheel 3 fixed to the hub. When the wheel 5 is at rest, the block 8, under the influence of the spring 11, assumes a central position, and the wheel 3 is free. When the wheel 5 is driven in either direction, the block is tilted by the engagement of the tooth with the stationary wheel, and the leading end of the dog is depressed into gear with the wheel 3, which is thereby rotated. The dog may, however, be formed so as to drive in one direction only, and it may also be modified to act by friction against a plain wheel. When it is desired to apply a brake by back-pedalling, the wheel 4, instead of being fixed, is allowed to rotate to a certain extent under the control of a spring ; the brake is connected to the wheel, and may also be adapted for hand operation.

Title: Improvements in Dental Chairs.
Inventor: READ LAWRENCE
Filed: 1900-04-09
Granted: 1901-02-09
Abstract: 6638. Read, L., and Sonnex, R. W. April 9. Chairs, dental. The seat is carried on the upper end of a plunger D working in a cylinder C which works in a cylinder B screwed to the bottom of the base A, which can rotate in the fixed ring-shaped foot V. Fixed to the upper end of the plunger is a guide cylinder F working in a similar cylinder G, which in turn works in a cylinder H. Radial projections F<1>, G<1>, H<1>, &c. prevent the guidecylinders from rotating. Wedges J bear on flats on the guidecylinders, to ensure a tight and good fit. Fig. 1 shows a section of the parts in the lowest position ; by operating the pump P by the pedal Q<2>, oil is forced into the cylinder B; the cylinder C first rises till the valve E, which opens upwards, closes, when the cylinder C and plunger rise together until the cylinder is arrested by the annular projection B<1>, after which the valve E opens and the plunger D rises. Cushions K on the guide-cylinders F, G, H strike against annular projections G<3>, H<3>, on the next outer cylinders, which are drawn upwards in succession. The lower cylinder H has radial projections H<2> working on suitablyshaped guides on the part A. Suitable springs and stops limit the upward and downward motion of the parts and prevent jar. When the seat has reached its highest position, the oil escapes out of the holes C' in the cylinder C, and is deflected down to the reservoir by a collar 0. To depress the seat, the valve S is operated by a foot-piece U and a lever T ; oil now runs out of the cylinder B, and the parts C, D descend together till the stem of the valve E strikes the base and opens the valve, and so allows oil to run out of the cylinder C and the plunger D to descend. The part A carrying the raising and lowering mechanism can be rotated in the ring V, and can be clamped in any position by operating a lever W<2> on a vertical axis W.
