Patent GB-189912422-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Bag and other Chutes for Warehouses, Mills, Elevators, and the like.
Inventor: VERNON WILLIAM ALLEN
Filed: 1899-06-14
Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 12,422. Vernon, W. A. June 14. Shoots.-To regulate and check the descent of bags &c., a long board B is hinged above the shoot A with its upper end raised sufficiently to allow the bags to pass freely under it. The lower end, however, is connected to a rod D carrying at its upper end a piston working in an air cylinder E. This cylinder is fitted at each end with a non- return air-inlet valve F, and also with a second regulable inlet and outlet valve. As each descending bag strikes the lower end of the board B, it is checked, and the rise of the board is cushioned by the air in the cylinder E. By manipulation of the valves the checking action is regulated.

Granted: 1901-07-06
Abstract: 12,331. Schellbach, E. July 7. Conduits.-Relates to sectional multiple conduits for electric and like conductors in which an outer casing b is formed of a shell of cement &c. and is provided with variously-shaped grooves or openings b<1> to receive similarly-shaped longitudinal tie-rods c. The interior is filled with lighter material, such as artificial wood &c. moulded with a number of tubular openings a<1>.

Patent GB-190012557-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Sheet Delivery Mechanism for Printing Machines.
Inventor: EVANS WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1900-07-12
Granted: 1901-07-06
Abstract: 12,557. Evans, W. E., [Campbell Printing Press and Manufacturing Co.]. July 12. Delivery apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for delivering the sheets, from cylinder machines, printed side up and without contact of the freshly-printed surface with any part. Fig. 1 shows an ordinary two-revolution machine, of which B is the impression cylinder and C the feed-board. The printed sheet is switched off the cylinder B on to a set of tapes D, carried by pulleys 10, 13 on shafts mounted in the framing A and driven from the cylinder B. Alternating or intermeshing with the tapes D is a second set of tapes G on pulleys 35, 36, in a reciprocating carriage E running on tracks 15 and on tracks 17 at each side of the delivery board F. The tracks 15 are pivoted to the framing as at 18, and are engaged by levers 26 on a shaft 25 having an arm 24 connected by a rod 23 to a lever 22 oscillated by a cam 20. The carriage E is reciprocated by rods 33 connected to arms 32 of a shaft 31 rocked by the arm 30, rod 29, and crank disc 27. When the carriage E reaches the position shown, near the cylinder, the tracks 15 are lifted and the tapes G lift the sheet from the tapes D and carry it over the delivery board F in the movement of the carriage to the right. In this movement the tapes G are stationary. As the carriage moves to the left, the tapes G are moved so as to run the sheet off them on to the board F. This movement by the tapes G may be effected by bands on the tape rollers clamped in a holder movable in vertical slots in a bracket 40. A ratchet arrangement prevents the bands from moving the tapes except when the carriage is moving to the left. In a modification, the bands are clamped only while the carriage is moving to the left. The delivery table F is pivoted at 48, and carries struts 49 by which it may be held in the raised position shown in dotted lines.

Title: Improvements in the Tempering of Armour Plates and other Steel Articles.
Inventor: BENTHALL JOHN LAURENCE
Filed: 1900-07-14
Granted: 1901-10-14
Abstract: 12,752. Benthall, J. L. July 14. Tempering.-Relates to a method of treating armour plate and other steel articles containing nickel or chromium, or both, to harden them at certain parts, while other parts remain soft and tough. In the case of an armour-plate, it is heated to from 1550‹ to 1750‹ F., bent to shape and cooled in the air ; then again heated to from 1150‹ to 1350‹ F. and cooled in the air to prevent cracking during subsequent operations. It is then heated to from 950‹ to 1150‹ F. and cooled in water or oil, after which it is machined to shape. It is then heated to from 1200‹ to 1400‹ F., and cooled in oil or water. The back of the plate is then softened by being heated to from 900‹ to 1300‹ F., and cooled in the air. If the face of the plate is required to be extremely hard, the lastdescribed process may be dispensed with, and the plate softened throughout by being heated to from 1000‹ to 1300‹ F. and cooled in water or oil. Then, while the back is kept cool by being bedded in sand or the like, the face is heated to f om 1550‹ to 1750‹, and cooled in oil or water.

Abstract: 22,600. Hoisington, D. J., and Kessinger, J. W. June 30, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Valves, distributing; reversing.-In a reversible steam engine, either the inner or outer pair of ports b are put wholly or partially into action by a plate F having three ports d, d<1>, and d<11> and working beneath a plate D with ports c corresponding to the ports b. On the plate D works a slide valve C having a recess G, communicating at the sides with the steam-chest B, and ports J and I, and a chamber H in constant communication with a chamber L in a removable cover K, and leading through a side chamber to the exhaust pipe. The plate F is attached to and operated by a pivoted lever S, having a spring catch engaging notches on a segment so as to hold the plate in its closed or any one of its open positions. The plate D has end-notches s, to admit steam to its underside and prevent undue friction, while longitudinal motion is prevented by a strip t adjusted by screws u. The slide valve C has packing r at the top, and may have a flange m at the bottom to keep it from the sides of the steam-chest.

Granted: 1901-10-26
Abstract: 1388. Bloxam, A. G., [Henkels, A. & E.]. Jan. 21. Braiding - machines. -Relates to a circular machine for making patterned lace or braid. The usual spindles G have a pair of discs f, f which work above and below the plates F, F<1> and the discs D. A spindle is brought into action, as shown in Fig. 2, by the flange of a sliding piece E which is raised by the pattern mechanism. On moving out of action the spindle, by its disc f, moves back, against the action of a spring, a sliding bolt H. When the piece E is lowered by the pattern mechanism, the bolt H shoots the spindle into range of the e projections C of the drivers B. These projections C are arranged above or below the surfaces of alternate drivers B. The bolts H prevent the spindles from flying out by centrifugal action when the pieces E are lowered.
