Title: Improvements in Dyeing Machines.
Inventor: PASS ERNEST DE
Filed: 1903-02-21
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 4142. De Pass, E., [Vacuum Dyeing Machine Co.]. Feb. 21. Dyeing.-A. machine for dyeing warps or yarns in one continuous length at one operation is described. Within a suitable vat 1 and journalled in hollow standards 2 are arranged a number of hollow transversely-grooved rollers 4, formed with perforations 6 in the bottoms uf the grooves. The warp thread enters between a pair of tension rollers 11, and is passed backwards first round the left-hand pair of superposed rollers and then in a similar manner round the right-hand pair, being guided into the grooves in each roller by suitablyarranged spools 13. From the last of the rollers 4 it passes between a pair of drawing or squeezing rollers 9, 10 and thence over a guide-roller 14. The roller 10 is connected with a lever 17, provided with an adjustable counterweight 18 for regulating the pressure. In operation, the vat is charged with dye liquor and the rollers are rotated by the gearing shown. At the same time, the liquor is circulated by a pump, which draws it from the vat and forces it into the hollow standards 2, and thence into the hollow rollers 4 and through the perforations 6. The perforations over which the warp thread is not passing, for the time being, are closed by an internal valve 19 supported by the stationary shaft 21.

The roller is mounted in sliding bearings, which are fitted with springs, the tension of which can be adjusted by vertical screws with hand-wheels 29. The thickness of the sheet rolled is determined by the vertical adjustment of the table. Divided collars 5<a>, Figs. 3 and 5, are detachably secured to the ends of the roller by screws 5<b>, Fig. 5. A series of collars are provided of thicknesses corresponding to the required thicknesses of the glass sheets to be formed. One surface of the bed may be plain, and the other formed with a pattern to produce figured glass. The bed is provided with lugs at the ends, by which it can be raised by a crane &c. to allow its reversal.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Mantles and the like for Incandescent Gas Lighting.
Inventor: BOULLIER JOSEPH ARMAND ERNEST
Filed: 1903-08-22
Granted: 1903-10-29
Abstract: 18,166. Boullier, J. A. E. H. Aug. 23, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Incandescent gas lamps.-In the manufacture of mantles, filaments of nitro-cellulose are rendered capable of fixing incandescent compounds by treating the filaments with liquids which cause them to swell without being dissolved. Such liquids are formic, acetic, and nitric acids, or alcohol mixed with commercial ether, ether salts, or acetone, or generally with any liquids or substances which are capable of dissolving nitro-cellulose. Thus filaments of nitro-cellulose, or mantles woven or knitted therefrom, are immersed in nitric acid until they become transparent or opaline, when they are removed, washed, and treated in a centrifugal machine. The filaments, preferably undried, are then immersed in a solution of the nitrates of the rare earths, treated in a centrifugal machine or squeezed, and dried at a gentle temperature. Subsequently the filaments are treated with hydrated sulphate of ammonia or de-nitrated by one of the processes at present employed in the manufacture of artificial silk. One gramme of nitro-cellulose treated as described is sufficient for the production of one mantle, thereby greatly reducing the cost.
Patent GB-190319512-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Workmen's Time Recorders
Filed: 1903-09-10
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 19,512. Palmer, A. N., Kimball, W. W., and Syracuse Time Recorder Co. Sept. 10. Time-checking apparatus for workmen. In a time recorder, the clock which rotates the typewheel also moves it axially, the type-wheel being adjusted and held during printing. The lateral positions of the times printed on the record sheet are thus functions of those times. The minuteprinting wheel 1 is feathered on the spindle 2 rotated through the universal joint 7 by the clock 8. An arm 16 hangs loosely from the sleeve 15 of this wheel, and carries the hourprinting-wheel 17, which is turned by the pin 18 engaging with teeth 19. The upright arm 24 engages with the hub and forces it to follow the carriage 23 as it is moved along the guide-ways 22 by the link 26 and horizontal levers 29,25, engaging by means of toothed sectors 27, 28, and driven by the clock-actuated cam 38, so as to come back to position in twenty-four hours. The motion may be gradual, or by steps, and the return may be effected by the cam or by a spring 32. To print the time on the record sheet, the rack 46 is moved, and thence by means of the cam 45 and pin 49 the rod 11 is caused to lift the forked lever 9 pivoted at 10 and thereby to depress the type-wheels on to the platen 3. Simultaneously, the rod 48 rises and operates the escapement lever 50, Fig. 5, pivoted on the carriage at 43. Pallets 5, 6 on this lever engage with interior teeth 4 on the minute-printing wheel 1, and hold it in position while the impression is made.

Title: Improved Automatic Safety Mineral Oil Lamp.
Inventor: DAVIS FRED
Filed: 1904-12-17
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 27,544. Davis, F., and Jinks, F. Dec. 17. Oil-lamp reservoir fittings; extinguishing.- Relates to automatic means for preventing the passage of oil along the wick or the wick-tube d, for closing the ventilating-valve 15 of the oil reservoir, and for operating the shutter extinguisher, when the lamp is upset. A movable leather-faced casing 6, mounted in the neck of the reservoir c and acted upon by a spring 27, is connected through a bell-crank lever 4 and sliding rods 16, 19 with a spoon-shaped lever 22 within the hollow base of the lamp, and the leather-faced cap valve 15 for closing a ventilating-opening 13 in the reservoir is attached to the rod 16, the shutter extinguisher l, k being connected through levers m, n to the rod 19. When the lamp is upset and the upward pressure of the lamp support on the lever 22 is destroyed, the spring 27, assisted in some cases by a spring 25 on the rod 16, forces the casing 6 against a leather casing 1 fixed under the burner, so as to grip the wick, the valve 15 and the extinguisher being simultaneously operated. The leather face of the casing 6 is recessed for the reception of the wick when the two casings are forced together, and the faces of the leather in the casings 1, 6 are inclined at slightly different angles, so that they are forced upwards against the underside of the wick-tube when they meet. The burner is attached to the reservoir by a bayonet joint 11, 12, Fig. 6, a leather washer o being interposed between the burner and the reservoir. The automatic mechanism is prevented from acting, when the lamp is moved about, by the hand grasping an arm 24, Fig. 1, nn the rod 19. Instead of using the spring 27, the lever 22 may be weighted.
