Title: Improvements in Electric Lifts, Hoists, Capstans, and the like.
Inventor: SOAMES ALFRED
Filed: 1897-11-26
Granted: 1898-10-15
Abstract: 27,875. Soames, A. Nov. 26. Hoists; capstans; lifts, electricallyactuated. A shaft, on which is mounted a pulley A, is driven continuously by a n induction motor actuated b y a n alternating current. Open and crossed belts B, by means of a shifter E, are made to drive the lift shaft C through a fixed pulley C<1>. In the position shown, a band brake D is kept on by a weighted lever, but, when the shifter is moved in either direction for lifting or lowering, the brake is taken off by one of the cords G, which pass over pulleys H and are attached by their lower ends to the brake lever. Preferably the motor described in Specifcation No. 7772, A.D. 1897, is employed. On starting the lift for the day, the current is switched on through both coils I and J. When speed has been got up, the switch K is moved over to the right, after which the current passes through the coil J or I according as the brake is on or off, that is, as the lift is at rest or at work. In this way the motor is driven continuously without serious waste of energy. The switch may be arranged to pass the current through a choking coil when the lift is not in use ; or there may be two sets of coils in parallel for work and in series for light running. The Provisional Specification states that a transformer may be employed to reduce the pressure with the same object.

Granted: 1898-10-22
Abstract: 17,674. Weaver, H. M. Aug. 16. Tables, card. The table is specially adapted for playing " duplicate whist." Fig. 2 shows a vertical section through part of the table top. Four equidistant openings B<4> are provided round the table. These lead to boxes (say 80 in number) arranged round the edge nf the disc F. When the table is charged (say with 20 packs, comprising 80 hands), at each turn of the handle H an arm R<6>, previously raised horizontally, pushes a hand of cards, introduced by the player into the vacant box before him, snugly home, the disc F is turned one step, and the pusher R pushes a fresh hand from the next box in order. The table may be charged by introducing each hand after it has been played, no fresh cards, of course, being delivered from the table. In the example chosen, after playing 20 hands the players would have their opponents' cards in succession. The mechanism consists of a spur-wheel A<1> gearing internally with a wheel B which has four teeth engaging with a wheel C as in the Geneva stop mechanism. A wheel D on the shaft of the wheel C gears internally with the loose wheel E carrying the disc F. The card-shifting rods R are actuated by a cam K on the shaft I.

Patent GB-189819420-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Lock Mechanism.
Inventor: RILEY JAMES
Filed: 1898-09-13
Granted: 1899-07-15
Abstract: 19,420. Riley, J. Sept. 13. Locks, key.-Relates to a locking-mechanism in which the parts require a particular adjustment before the insertion of the key, and the key requires a complex movement in order that it may unlock the lock. The invention is shown as applied to padlocks, but it is equally applicable to other locks. The shackle B is locked by the usual sliding bolt C. A disc a, Figs. 4 and 9, capable of a limited rotational movement on a central stud b riveted to the back of the case, carries two key pins d, e, the pin d being a false one. Two more discs f and h are secured to the disc a by pins and distancepieces i, leaving spaces each large enough for the rotation of the key bit. Keyholes d<1>, e<1> are formed in the disc f and h to correspond with the pins d and e. The three discs can be turned from outside the lock by means of the keyhole cover or guard l, Fig. 9, which is fixed to a spindle k passing through the discs h andf and having an arm k<1> which engages pins on the disc f, to move the discs in one direction or the other with an interval of rest. When the guard l is moved only to the horizontal position, the keyholes d<1> remain opposite the outer keyhole as shown in Fig. 7, the discs being held in this position by a spring catch s. The key can then be inserted and rotated without affecting the bolt. To bring the true keyholes e<1> opposite the outer keyhole as shown in Fig. 8, the guard l must be turned to a nearly-vertical position. The key must then be pushed right in, and its bit turned in the space between the discs a and f, rotation in the space between discs f and h being prevented by a stud, not shown ; it must then be drawn back through a slot e<3> in the disc f, and turned backwards in the space between f and h. In this space there is a lever p pivoted at q to the disc h. The key bit engages the forked lower end p' of this lever, and causes its upper end to withdraw the bolt C. A slot p<1> in the lever for the passage of the spindle k allows sufficient freedom of movement for the operation of the key, but, when the discs are rotated to displace the keyholes by turning the guard l back over the outer keyhole, the lever p is carried round with the discs, and the bolt again shot into place.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of Combined Pianofortes and Harmoniums.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1898-11-01
Granted: 1899-01-21
Abstract: 22,966. Thompson, W. P., [St. Paul, V. C. P. D. de]. Nov. 1. Pianofortes ; harmoniums.- Relates to a combined pianoforte and harmonium. Each wind-chest A, provided with a set of reeds 16, has a stop or register 4 connected with it, the pulling out of which brings the corresponding part of the harmonium into action. This is effected by the lever 5 striking an off-set plate 7 on a spindle 9 and causing the spindle to rock. Arms 17, 8 then act respectively upon a rod 18 and a crank 10 on a spindle 11, and by means of the connections shown open a valve 22 to admit wind to the wind-chest and raise the key pistons 2, 2<1> into position to be operated by the pianoforte keys 3, the pistons then actuating the reed - valves. The spindle 11 is common to all the registers, so that, on pulling out any one, all the key pistons are brought under the keys, although one wind-chest only comes into action. The harmonium pedals are linked to levers having at their other ends rollers pressing on the bottoms of the bellows so as to actuate them in one direction with less expenditure of power. The levers are returned by springs. Each pianoforte pedal acts upon a lever connected to a long lever placed at right-angles and controlled by a spring. To the long arms of these second levers the wires, for actuating the loud pedal action and the dampers respectively, are attached.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Tying, Knotting, Looping, or Twisting Together Two Threads, specially applicable for Binding or Securing Hanks of Yarn.
Inventor: NORDMANN MAX JULIUS
Filed: 1899-07-31
Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 15,649. Nordmann, M. J. July 31. Reeling-machines.-Relates to a method of and apparatus for tying, knotting, looping, or twisting together two threads, specially applicable for binding and securing hanks of yarn. The hanks of yarn III having been wound on the reel, the ends of the binding-threads I, II are made fast to hooks thereon, the under thread I being carried by a spring reel D and the upper thread by a reciprocatory shuttle B. By means of a pair of forked fingers A', A', provided with subsidiary hooked fingers a, a', the under thread is drawn between two hanks and formed into a loop as shown in Fig. 26<a>. The shuttle carrying the upper thread is now passed through the loop, and the threads are drawn tight against the frame z by the lever and guide C. In the next reciprocation of the fingers A<1>, A', the loop is formed by twisting the forked fingers in the opposite direction, and, the shuttle being also passed through the loop on its return journey, a double knot such as that shown is formed when the loop is released. If desired, a strand of yarn III may be bound between the two portions of the knot. Figs. 30, 31, and 32 represent various methods of securing together a number of hanks of yarn. In Fig. 30, a tight knot is shown as formed on each side of each skein or hank. In Fig. 31, loops are formed on the lower thread, through which the upper thread is passed, a tight knot being formed at each end only. In Fig. 32, the threading of the upper thread through the loops of the lower one has been effected in such a manner as to produce the effect of twists or loops on each side of the hank threads. Mechanism is provided for operating the several parts, and for automatically moving the tying or knotting mechanism along the length of a reel. Fig. 15<c> shows another arrangement of rotating and reciprocating fingers v for forming a loop in the lower thread for the passage of the shuttle W carrying the upper one. The shuttle is carried through a loop by a bow-shaped oscillating and sliding guide, the opposite ends of the bow being provided with catches for engaging with the shuttle. Normally the catch at one end only is engaged with the shuttle. When the free end of the shuttle has passed the lcop, the catch at this end engages with the shuttle, while that at the rear end is released, after which the shuttle may be drawn completely through the loop. Fig. 39 shows a " net knot," which is formed by passing the shuttle first through a loop U', Fig. 36, and then in the opposite direction through this and also through a second loop U', two sets of loop-forming fingers being required when forming this kind of knot.
