Abstract: 11,414. Pinkert, G. May 19. Incandescent o i l lamps.-In an incandescent petro - leum burner, the upper end d of the outer wick-tube a is smaller in diameter t h a n the lower p a r t, the inner wick-tube b being of a uniform diameter. A tube e surrounds the upper end d, the edge of the tube e being somewhat higher t h a n the edge of the tube b, so that the upper surface of the wick forms a conical surface c<1>. The tube e also prevents petroleum from flowing along the outer wicktube. The air passing up through the inner wick-tube is heated by a cylinder f having radial partitions. The flame is directed towards the mantle h by a cap g fixed to a pin g<3>, which works in a tube i in the inner wick-tube. The cap has perforations g<1> and its edge g<2> is turned up parallel to the sloping wick surface. To light the lamp, the cap is raised by a lever k, and is kept in its raised position by a catch l. The mantle h is supported by a wire, preferably square in section, fixed by means of a set-screw n'. The lower part of the mantle is held in position by a cone o, which forms a prolongation of a cone p connected to the outer shell of the burner, which is provided with perforations r. If the wick is properly adjusted, the flame burns quietly, but if not, the flame begins to smoke and the burner becomes noisy, thus giving an alarm.

Patent GB-190316403-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding Yarns.
Inventor: GIRDWOOD HENRY MERCER
Filed: 1903-07-25
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 16,403. Girdwood, H. M. July 25. Winding-machines.-Relates particularly to machines for winding wet linen yarns into cops for use in loom shuttles. The yarn passes from the bobbin 5, through a clearer 6, and beneath a stud 21 on a stop-lever 17 to the oscillating guide 22, and from thence to the cop, which is wound preferably on a perforated paper tube. The guide 22 is carried by the oscillating shaft 28 and the spindle is raised intermittently during the winding operation. In order to maintain the tension of the yarn uniform during the oscillations of the guide, a pivoted brake spring 8 is pressed on the lower flange of the delivery bobbin by a stud 11 on an oscillating bar 9, which is operated from the rocking shaft 28 in such a manner as to apply the brake with a gradually-increasing force as the guide approaches the nose of the cop. The spindle 24 is driven by a loose boss 15 resting upon the wharl, from which it is driven by friction. The upper end of the spindle is mounted in a bolster carried by a slide 26 suspended from a lever 38, the free end of which is depressed as the winding proceeds by a cam 36 rotated intermittently by the ratchet and spur gearing shown operated from the rocking shaft 30. When the cop is completed, the spindle is raised out of the boss 15 and the winding ceases. Should the yarn break or fail, or slacken from any cause, the stop lever 17, being unsupported by the yarn, falls, and its fall is emphasized by a sliding weight 20, thereby bringing a projection 16 on the lever beneath a flange on the boss 15 and raising it out of contact with the driving-wharl. The opposite end of the lever simultaneously engages with an adjustable stop 48 on a rod 46 and lifts the driving-pawl 44 out of engagement with its ratchet, so that, when the end is pieced, the building may be resumed at the point at which it was interrupted.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Inventor: RODRIGUEZ EMILIO
Filed: 1904-07-25
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 16,446. Rodriguez, E. July 25. Steam traps.- The expansion and contraction of a pipe a, of copper or any other metal highly sensitive to change of temperature, controls the action of the liftvalve n, through which the condensed water is forced. Steam enters the trap through a separator b, shown in section in Fig. 3, and is deflected by the baffle-plates c so that the condensed water is thrown down the pipe a into a spherical vessel d, secured to the bottom of the pipe. As the vessel and pipe become filled with water, the pipe cools and contracts, and the rods k at its sides, engaging with the levers l, lift the valve n, thus allowing the water to be forced, (through the internal tube f), out of the apparatus by the steam pressure. When steam again fills the pipe a, it becomes heated and expands, thus permitting the valve n to fall. The bottom of the water-delivery pipe f is provided with a strainer s, and has, at its upper part, a control cock g. The valve and valve box n, and also the levers l, may be attached to the lower vessel d, and the rods k secured to the head b.

Title: An Improved Method for Providing Hollow Wrought-iron Bodies with Linings of Cast Metal.
Inventor: SCHUETZE PAUL
Filed: 1904-08-04
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 17,117. Sch³tze, P. Aug. 4. Casting and moulding.-Relates to the lining of hollow wrougbt-iron bodies used in chemical factories with cast metal, such as cast iron, so that the expansion of the wrought-iron body shall not destroy the mould. Fig. 1 shows the position of the wrought-iron body 1, the core 3, and the mould 2. The molten cast iron is poured down the gits 4, 5, and fills the hollow space 6 between the body and core, the air escaping up the sides. The spaces 7, 8 allow for expansion of the body caused by the molten cast iron. In this way, a lining of uniform thickness is obtained so that the said thickness can be reduced to a minimum. The cast-iron lining is partially case-hardened owing to the chilling action of the cold wrought iron. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the wrought-iron jacket is placed eccentrically with regard to the mould 2 and core 3 in such a manner that the distance between the core and one part of the wrought-iron jacket is reduced to an extent corresponding to the extent to which the wrought-iron jacket will expand, thus securing a uniform lining. The wrought-iron jacket may be cooled by suitable means during the casting.

Abstract: 21,635. Kingsley, A. T. Oct. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Double-door fastenings; sash and like fastenings ; turn buttons; locks, key; keys. Relates to a hasp fastening for sliding and swinging doors. The hasp 10, Fig. 1, is attached to the door by the staple 12 and has at its free end the lock case 19. Through slots in the revolvable discs 20, mounted in the sides of the case 19, passes the stud 16, which is adapted to engage with the socket piece 13 on the door frame. The nature of these engagements allow the hasp body to hang in a downwardly - inclined position, and so prevent snow or rain from entering the lock. Inside the case 19 is mounted the sliding lock-bolt 23, Fig. 5, which is made from a sheet-metal blank as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The two turned-up sides 27 form springs which bear against the hat sides of the stud 16, which passes through the opening 24 in the bolt 23, and retain it in either the locked or the open position. The opening 24 is provided with projections 25 to limit the motion of the stud 16 to a quarter-turn, and also with the slot 26. By using the key shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, the spring tumbler 28 is raised, and thereby released from the fixed projection 42 on the case, and the bolt 23 is at the same time moved so as to engage the stud 16 in the slot 26, and thereby lock the fastening.

Title: Improvements in Safety Locking Devices for Lifts or Elevators.
Inventor: WHELAN ANDREW
Filed: 1904-12-13
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 27,152. Whelan, A. Dec. 13. Safety suspending-apparatus ; overwinding, preventing.-In the event of the cage descending at excessive speed, the resulting upward air pressure raises a light flap 20 and causes it to release an arm 24, which then swings forward about its pivot 7 under the action of a weight 25, and thus engages a pinion 26, which it carries, with a fixed rack 30. The pinion 26, through the bevel gearing 8, 9 and a pawl and ratchet 31, rotates a shaft 10, oppositely tapped at its ends into nuts 16, 18 connected to U-bar grips 13, 14, which are thus tightened on the guide cables 3. The shaft 10 may also be rotated by the engagement of a pinion 36 with a rack near the top of the well to prevent overrunning; and a pedal may be provided for releasing the arm 24 on emergency. By releasing the pawl acting on the ratchet 31, the grips can be released by hand. To limit the area of the flap, it works in an open-bottomed casing, and to allow the escape of air from above it the bottom of the cage is perforated. On the cage nearing the bottom of the well, a catch may be automatically dropped over the flap 20 to lock it against movement. In a modification, a spring is inserted between the shaft 10 and one of the grips, the rack pinion is separate from the pinion 26 and so can have larger teeth, and the bracket 24 is raised by a spring instead of by a weight.
