Title: Improvements relating to Rings Ring Holders and Travellers for Spinning, Twisting and analogous purposes.
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 28,882. Boyd, T. A., Boyd, H. A., and Boyd, J. & T. Dec. 30. Spindle apparatus, ring and traveller. Relates to means for lubricating rings and travellers and for facilitating the placing of certain kinds of travellers upon the rings and preventing them from falling away from the rings when in use. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, in which a ring 2 is secured in the ordinary manner in the ring rail 1, a reservoir l<2>for ring grease or solidified oil is formed in a boss opposite each ring,'and the lubricant is forced by a screwed plug 4 through apertures l<3> in the rail and the ring. When each ring is carried by a separate holder, as shown in Fig. 3, the reservoir is formed in the holder. According to the Provisional Specification, the plugs 4 may be perforated and provided on the insides with valves which will allow of the reservoirs being filled through the apertures ; and they may be fitted with worm-wheels so that a number of plugs may be operated simultaneously by worms on a shaft which is actuated by hand or automatically. When travellers which require to be held up to the lower side or edge of the ring are employed, the holding-plate 6, Fig. 1, may be secured by screws 7 near the front edge of the rail, so. that the plate may be sprung downwards for the application of the traveller to the ring. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a circular plate 6, provided with a handle 6<1> and with an eccentric aperture, turns in a circular recess in the lower part of the holder 3. In one position of the handle 6<1>, the aperture in the plate is concentric with the ring, while, in another position thereof, the aperture in the plate is moved to one side sufficiently to allow of the application of the traveller to the ring.

Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 28,957. Vicente, N. Dec. 30. Slide valves ; valve chests and casings.-Steam is distributed to a steam engine by one or more separate flat or curved steam and exhaust valves for each end of the cylinder. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, exhaust chambers T, T' are formed at each end of the valve-chest R. The two admission valves p, p<1> mounted on the rod r and controlling the ports h, h<1> slide inside the valve-chest. The exhaust valves p<2>, p<3> mounted on the rod r<1> and controlling the ports h<2>, h<3> slide on the other face of the bottom of the valve-chest. The passages A, A<1> leading to opposite ends of the cylinder are separated by a partition w, in a circular opening in which a piston on the rod r' slides. The rods r, r' are attached to a crosshead H. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 6, there is a single exhaust chamber TT<1> separate from the valve-chest R. In another arrangement, the chamber TT<1> forms the valve-chest and the chamber R the exhaust chamber. The admission valves work inside the chamber TT<1>, and the exhaust valves work outside the chamber R. A separate steam chest R, Fig. 9, and exhaust chamber T with a single admission valve p and exhaust valve p<1> may be arranged at each end of the cylinder.

Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 10,102. Boult, A. J., [Spengel, H. G.]. May 13. Fire-bars and grates.-A furnace fire-grate consists of a series of transverse members a, Fig. 2, which are tipped simultaneously, or nearly so, upon pins b to transport the fuel from the hopper c to the rear end of the grate, such tipping operation also resulting in the ignition of fresh fuel which is supplied to the grate. Each grate member a is provided with a rib d which, when the grate members are raised, forms with the adjacent member a groove for the accumulation of incandescent fuel. After the lowering of the grate members to the horizontal, some of the accumulated fuel will fall on to the next grate member, while the other portion will fall back to effect the ignition of fresh fuel. The tipping of the members may be made in two stages, and each member may be tipped to a different extent. According to a modification, shown in Fig. 5, the members are pivoted to pins arranged below the grate surface to protect them against the action of fire.
