Title: Improvements in Pressing, Drawing, Rolling and like Operations for Forming Metallic Hollow-ware and other Malleable Metal Articles.
Inventor: DYMOND GEORGE CECIL
Filed: 1904-08-17
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 17,904. Dymond, G. C., [Sloman, E. H.]. Aug. 17. Rolling; stamping.-Metallic hollow-ware, such as bath tubs and other malleable-metal articles, are formed by drawing and rolling &c. in apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 2 and 3. On a bed 26, adapted to be reciprocated vertically on standards 17, are rollers 44, on which the matrix 45 is reciprocated. On a plate 19 carried on the standards is mounted a rocking punch or die 21, having a lower surface 54 adapted to co-operate with the matrix in forming the article. The table and matrix are raised to the die by toggles 23 which are actuated by right and left handed screws 27, geared together by a pinion 28. The matrix, which is preferably in sections, has a concave interior, corresponding with the shape of the article to be formed. It is reciprocated from a crank shaft 10 by means of links 9. The die is oscillated from a crank shaft 59 by means of links 56, the links being connected with the die through a cross-bar 55, which is permitted to move slightly without moving the die. The matrix being moved upwards towards the die, the blank is placed between both, and, by the reciprocating and upward movement of the matrix and the oscillating movement of the die, a pressing, rolling, and drawing &c. effect is produced to form the article exteriorly to the shape of the matrix and interiorly to the shape of the die, having regard to its oscillating movement. The end thrusts of the matrix are resisted by shoulders 62 on a plate 16 within which the die oscillates, and by moving the plate 19 and die upwards or downwards the thickness of the ends of the article is regulated, the thickness of the bottom being regulated by adjustment of the bottom plate 4<a> by means of nuts 20<b>. The article being partially formed, the upper section of the matrix may be replaced by another, and the operations continued. The apparatus is also adapted to turn and shape the rim part of the article.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Weaving Looms.
Inventor: GRAF EMIL
Filed: 1904-12-17
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 27,604. Graf, E. Dec. 17. Shuttleless looms; forming and protecting selvages. - Relates to a picking - motion, used in weaving narrow and other fabrics, for introducing weft yarn from a fixed spool, and to means for binding the yarn to form a selvage. A lever 1, Fig. 1, is oscillated by a bolt 5 on a disc 3, and is connected to a rack 2 which, by means of gearing 11, 12, 13, traverses a toothed or perforated rack 14 through the shed. The rack 14, which carries the weft thread, is, to save space, made flexible or in several links, and, by duplicating the gearing 12, 13, two racks 14 may be driven from the same shaft 10. The binding-thread 17<a>, Figs. 5 and 8, is carried on a bobbin jammed in a toothed cylinder 35 provided with a hollow space, in which the guide 39 on the rack 14 projects, and with an orifice 38 for the thread. The thread from the stationary spool passes through holes in the guide 39. A stud 26, Fig. 7, acting on a chamfered lever 19, turns the latter, bringing the end of the slot 20 in the rod 21 against a stud 23 on the rod 22. The shaft 24 to which this rod 22 is fixed is thus turned, and, by means of the arm 30, stud 31, segment 33, and intermediate wheels 34, the toothed cylinder 35 is turned round and the selvage thread 17<a> is wound round the weft thread 17. Springs 27, 36 return the parts to their initial positions. A lever 40, on a bracket 32 on the lay, urged upwards by a spring 41, pulls the selvage thread taut and prevents it from being drawn into the shed during the return of the rack. The lever 40 is pulled down by a band 42 connected to the warp beam, when the lay arrives at its backward position. The toothed rack 14 is guided by fingers projecting into the shed.

Title: Improvements in Steam Superheaters.
Inventor: ANDERTON RICHARD
Filed: 1905-03-03
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 4416. Anderton, R. March 3. Superheaters, steam.- Consists of a number of chambers a n d heating- tubes so combined and arranged that the steam in passing through the superheater is subjected to more than one or to several heating processes before it finally leaves the superheater. Fig. 1 shows one form of superheater, and Figs. 7 and 8 two views in sectional elevation and in plan, with the cover removed, of another form. As regards Fig. 1, the steam enters the superheater by the mouth 3, and thence descends by the inner tubes 5 of the depending tubes 7. It then ascends round the inner tubes, enters the lower chamber B, and descends the tubes 8 in order to ascend the inner tubes 6 to the chamber 2, from which it is discharged by the outlet 4. In the second of these two superheating processes, the steam is directly subjected to the heated gases emerging from the boiler flues. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the steam undergoes four superheating processes. To effect this, the upper chamber is divided longitudinally and also transversely for half its breadth. The lower chamber is divided into two chambers 16 by a transverse division. By this arrangement, the steam entering the chamber 11 passes through four groups of tubes before reaching the outlet 15, the steam finally being subjected to the heated gases coming direct from the boiler flues. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications Nos. 6459, 13,537, and 17,261, A.D. 1902, and Nos. 18,584, 20,199, and 21,950, A.D. 1903.]
Patent GB-190505233-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Bicycle Gearing and Controlling Mechanism therefor.
Inventor: MAYNES HYLA FREDERICK
Filed: 1905-03-13
Granted: 1906-06-13
Abstract: 5233. Maynes, H. F. March 13. Variable-speed gearing.-Relates to a two-speed driving-gear for bicycles, in which the changes of speed are effected by back-pedalling ; a brake may be operated by a still further backward rotation of the driving-wheel. As shown, a ball clutch 19 is in operative position, the balls 20 of the low-speed clutch being within pockets in a sleeve 5, and power applied to the driving-member 7 turns the sleeve 5, so that planet wheels 17, moving round a stationary wheel 16, impart motion to a gear ring 14 and a high-speed sleeve 12. The clutch 19 locks this sleeve to the hub 3. A slight backward rotation of the cranks moves the lowspeed sleeve until a pawl 34, Fig. 2, engages the front of a slot 36. During this motion, the sleeve 39 of a clutch controller, which is formed by the parts 39, 41 connected together by a channel ring 40 carried by the sleeve 39, is moved backwards with the low-speed sleeve, while the ratchet ring 38 is held stationary by the pawl. This pawl is locked by a clutch 23, 21 for a lug 31, Fig. 6, upon a pawl-carrier 30, tending to ride up a notch 32 upon the loose member 21, forces this member into engagement with the fixed part and so holds the parts against movement. The sleeve 39 will thus be moved with respect to the ratchet ring through a distance equal to that between notches 45, 46, Fig. 5, on the sleeve, so that teeth 48 on the ratchet ring are moved into engagement with notches 46, and, assisted by a spring 44, the part 41 is forced towards the high - speed clutch, its fingers 42 retaining the balls within their pockets in the high-speed sleeve and keeping the clutch out of action. The change of gear has now been effected, and, upon forward movement of the sprocket-wbeel, the sleeve 39, through teeth 40<1>, is moved forwards with the low-speed sleeve, and through teeth 48, carries round the ratchet ring until the next tooth is brought into engagement with the pawl 34, which, now picked up by the rear wall of the slot 36, once more turns the pawlcarrier, releasing the loose clutch member. Driving is now effected directly through the low - speed clutch. When the high-speed gear is in operation, the clutch 20 is overridden and is rendered inoperative. By a similar back - pedalling motion, the teeth 48 are brought into engagement with the notches 45, when the endwise motion of the controller due to the cam-surface 47 releases the highspeed clutch balls and brings the high-speed gear again into effect. By turning the pedals backwards to a greater extent than that necessary to change the gear, a brake may be applied.

Patent GB-190519976-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Vacuum Brakes.
Inventor: CROSS JAMES WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 19,976. Cross, J. W. Oct. 3. Brakes. - In vacuum brakes in which the capacity of the vacuum reservoir of the brake cylinder is increased by a supplemental vacuum reservoir, a valve is employed which, when the brakes are about to be released by equalization of the pressure on both sides of the brake piston, serves to cut off the supplemental reservoir from the cylinder reservoir until the pressure in the latter has been reduced to approximately the pressure existing in the former. The valve is shown at 16 in the Figure, combined with a known form of valve device 5, 8 for connecting the two sides of the brake piston. The valve 16 is normally held open by a light spring 17 to establish communication between the additional reservoir at 15 and the reservoir end of the brake cylinder at 2. When the pressure at the train-pipe end of the brake cylinder at 3 is reduced to release the brakes, the decrease of the pressure above the diaphragm 8 is more rapid than the decrease below the diaphragm caused by leakage through the connecting-passage 13, and the valve 5 is consequently lifted and seats the valve 16. The valves 5, 16 are provided with piston extensions 19, 20 having ports 21 so arranged that the ports of the valve 16 are closed before those of the valve 5 are opened, the vacuum in the supplemental reservoir being thus preserved. When the valve 5 is reseated in consequence of the equalization of the pressure on the two sides of the diaphragm 8 through the leakage passage 13, its extension 18 uncovers a port 27 in the valve 16, so that the pressures in the additional reservoir at 15 and in the reservoir end of the brake cylinder at 2 are slowly equalized through the passages 27, 26, 25, and the valve 16 is reopened by its spring.
