Title: Improvements in and relating to Die Heads for Screw Cutting.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1899-10-05
Granted: 1900-09-08
Abstract: 19,980. Smith, W. J. Oct. 5. Screwing; tools.-A die-head for use in a turret latbe or automatic screwing machine has a tubular shank a to fit the turret holes. The chasers are secured to blocks b sliding in guideways in the head a<2> of the shank. A cam ring c<1>, operated by hand or by the rotation of the turret by means of handles c<4>, opens or closes the dies. A sleeve d on the shank a carries a bolt g with an eccentric head g<3> engaging a recess c<8> in the cam ring. The sleeve is held against rotation by three screws d' passing through slots in the shank and serving also to hold an adjustable stop p. The bolt g passes through holes in plates l, m and a slot in the sleeve flange d<1>, allowing its position on the sleeve to be adjusted by means of clamping- bolts c7, Fig. 10, to regulate the final position of the chasers. The plate m has a pointer m<1> passing over a scale on the sleeve. Independently of this adjustment, the bolt g can be partially rotated by a handle g' to either one of two positions, corresponding to a roughing and finishing cut. The handle is locked by a spring bolt g<4> engaging holes in the plate m. When the turret has advanced to cut the desired length of thread, the work abuts against the axially-adjustable stop p, and pushes back the sleeve d till the bolt g is disengaged from the cam ring. The ring is then rotated to open the chasers by a spring i between the ring and an annulus h secured to the shank. The sleeve is returned by springs f<1>, surrounding bolts f screwed into the annulus.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Electrical Fuzes for Blasting and Mining Purposes.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1900-05-04
Granted: 1901-05-04
Abstract: 8274. Haddan, H. J., [Fabrik Elektrischer Z³nder G. m. b. H.]. May 4. Blasting-fuzes.-To make the fuze-head, a flat strip 1, Fig. 4, of electrically non - conducting material, such as cardboard, has its sides covered with a conducting material 2, Figs. 3, 4, such as metal foil, and is tipped with a priming composition 4 which forms a bridge between the two coatings. To make the fuze-heads upon a large scale, a sheet of the non-conducting material is first coated with the conducting material, and is then stamped out to the comb-like shapes shown in Fig. 5. The shapes 8 are then suspended by their ends in a bath 12, Fig. 7, through which the priming composition flows, and, after the tips have been formed, they are dipped into a waterproof composition and dried, and the shapes are cut up into separate fuze-heads. Two conducting wires 18, 19 are then attached to the metallic coatings on each fuze-head, the connection being made either by soldering or by means of a clip formed by a sliding ring. The fuze-head is then inserted into a tube 22, Fig. 10, and supported by a block 23 while sulphur or other rapidly congealing material 26 is poured in to fix the fuze-head to the tube. The block 23 is then removed and replaced by a detonator 27, Fig. 18. Instead of a single strip with metal foil on its sides, two strips with foil on one side only, and secured back to back or face to face may be employed. In another modification, Fig. 19, the metal coatings are connected by a wire 31 which passes through the priming composition 32. In this construction the shapes 28, Fig. 13, are stamped differently, and wire 38 is wound across, as shown, and secured by solder 43, 44 to form the bridges 31, the surplus wire being afterwards removed, the shape bent across the middle and secured back to back, and then treated like the forms 8, Fig. 5. The bending process may however precede the mounting and soldering of the wires. In the modification shown in Fig. 23, the mouth of the fuze carries a block 51 of fusible material, such as sulphur, in which is supported an india - rubber tube 55 containing an igniting thread 54 and its primer 52.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Water to Steam Boilers.
Inventor: FLEUSS HENRY ALBERT
Filed: 1901-03-21
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 5983. Fleuss, H. A. March 21. Feedwater, supplying and controlling.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which, when the level is low in the boiler, water is transferred from one to another of two contiguous chambers, one of which is in connection with the boiler, by means of a cavity in a reciprocating or rotating plug or plunger, and consists mainly in maintaining the water in the supply chamber at a pressure equal to, or slightly greater than, that in the boiler. Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of such an apparatus, a being the boiler, band c the two chambers, of which the former is in communication with the boiler, and e a pump supplying water to the chamber c, whence it is transferred to the chamber b, when the water level falls therein, by means of a cavity in the reciprocating spindle d. When the water level is high enough to keep the cavity immersed, no transfer of water takes place. The pump e is constructed to deliver slightly more water than is required to feed the boiler, the excess being returned to the tank through a loaded valve i. This valve is preferably loaded by a plunger exposed to the pressure of steam from the boiler, but it may be weighted or loaded by a spring to the desired pressure. Fig. 2 shows the chambers b, c in section to an enlarged scale, d<1> being the cavity in the spindle and d<2> inclined ports opening into it. The position of the ports at the top of the stroke of the spindle is indicated by dotted lines. The packing for the spindle at the top of the chamber C and the bottom of the chamber b is arranged so that it is surrounded by water ; a sleeve l prevents leakage between the chambers. In a modification, the two chambers are connected by a tube through which the spindle passes, and the cavity in the spindle is correspondingly elongated and provided with two sets of ports, one at the top and the other at the bottom. The chambers may be arranged horizontally, instead of vertically. Fig. 5 shows one arrangement, in which a rotating plug o, with cavities p, is employed ; the plug may be vertical instead of horizontal.
