Title: Improved Devices for Coupling Two Bicycles
Inventor: KYNASTON JOHN
Filed: 1902-08-28
Granted: 1903-08-28
Abstract: 18,885. Kynaston, J. Aug. 28. Bicycles; coupling, arrangements for; quadricycles.-Means for coupling two bicycles side by side comprise a parallelsteering arrangement A, a bar B pivoted to hinged clips on the lower frame tubes, a strut C which may serve as a step or a carrier for a motor or luggage, and two diagonal stays D reaching from the strut to the saddle pillars. The steering- mechanism consists of two rods 1, 2 pivoted to cross - pieces mounted on axes at rightangles on the steering- posts. One cross-piece may rotate in a lug 7 at the top of the post while the other may rock on a cross-pin, but both cross-pieces may, if desired, be alike. The rod 2 forms a second handle. The ends of the strut C thread on to parallel bars 12 supported by brackets 15 and socket-pieces 13 which screw on to the steps or rear-axle ends. The strut may joint directly to the piece 13, when the bar 12 and bracket 15 may be dispensed with. The ends of the stays D pass through the plate C, and may be tightened by wing-nuts. According to the Provisional Specification, the two parallel rods of the steering - mechanism may connect brackets, below, on, or above, the fork crowns, and a yoke, retaining the steering-heads in a parallel vertical position, may be swivelled to brackets on the stem of each handle-bar. The stays may be attached to the rear axles, and their upper ends may be connected to a clip on the saddle pillar. The eyes of the clip may receive a bolt, or they may be almond-shaped and carry the trunnions of blocks bored to receive the ends of the stays. In coupling two tandem bicycles, the forward seat pillars are connected by the yoke.

Filed: 1903-04-09
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 8292. Steljes, W. S., and Typewriting Telegraph Corporation. April 9. Telegraphs.-In a type-writing telegraph receiving-instrument, the type disc c, having two or more annular series of letters, numerals, or signs upon its periphery, is moved longitudinally upon its fluted spindle b, and held in its printing position, by the flat pin a pivoted to the bell-crank lever f and situated over the projection d on the oscillating printing-lever e, and by the flat spring m on the spindle b carrying the roller n to engage with a cone stud or pin fixed to the hub of the type disc. An equivalent detent is formed by the spring m having the projection and the hub carrying the roller n. The bell crank f passes through a slot in the spindle b and is attached to the hub of the type disc by the link h. The rising printing-lever shifts the type disc longitudinally on its spindle, and the cant of the type disc is kept as small as possible. One or other end of the pin a is set towards the printing-lever by the transmitter.

Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 17,941. M÷ller, M. G. W. Aug. 19. Actuating valves and cocks; handles.-To enable a pump, which is employed for promoting circulation in ships' boilers during the raising of steam, to work from the suction chest to the discharge chest, or from the suction chest to the boiler, or from the boiler back to the boiler, supplementary pipe connections and valves are interposed between the pump and the suction chest, and between the discharge chest and the boiler. A cock 17 in the suction pipe 15, is connected to the pump 8 and the suction chest 10. Another cock 20 in the boiler discharge pipe 1 is connected with the discharge chest 12 and the pump 8. The cocks are placed side by side and have handles 23, 24, one of which has a projecting finger 25 so that the handles can be parallel, or diverging, but cannot cross one another. The ports in the plugs are L-shaped, so that, when the handles are in the position shown in Fig. 2, the pump is in direct communication with the boiler. When the handles are set as in Fig. 3, the pump works from the suction chest to the discharge chest. By setting the handles as shown in Fig. 4, the pump is caused to work from the suction chest to the boiler directly. The cocks may be placed in alignment so as to face each other. Circular lift valves or slide valves may be employed instead of the above cocks.

Granted: 1904-09-01
Abstract: 23,563. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. Oct. 30. Dyeing with sulphur dyes. Leather is protected from the detrimental action of alkaline sulphides by treating the material previous to the dyeing operation with solutions or the vapours of formaldehyde.

Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 6650. Lovekin, L. D. March 18. Cushioning reciprocating parts.-The weight and inertia of vertically-reciprocating piston valves A<1> of marine engines are counteracted by steam pressure in a dash-pot C, the admission of steam being controlled by the dash-pot piston D. The steam port is in the middle of the length of the cylinder, as shown at H in Fig. 1, and steam is admitted to the bottom of the cylinder when the valve is at the top of its stroke and is compressed on the downstroke. The steam above the piston expands on the down-stroke until the ports F, H coincide and then expands again ; it is compressed in the reverse order on the up-stroke. Other arrangements are shown in which the steam is admitted to the top of the cylinder at the end of the up-stroke as in Fig. 4. This Figure also shows a ball-andsocket connection M between the piston and its rod B, and a laterally-moving packing-ring N in the stuffing-box to allow of self-alignment of the rod. The balancing is explained diagrammatically in the Specification.
