Title: Improvements in Steam Engines
Inventor: MILLAR MARGARET
Filed: 1902-03-12
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 6078. Millar, M., [Sinclair, J. C.]. March 12 Cycles or systems of working; valves, distribu- ting; valve chests and casings,-Relates to the " steam reversion type of engine, such as is described in Specification No. 1712, A.D. 1901. Fig. 1 shows one form in section. The arrange- ment is such that when the valves p, r move to the left, steam, admitted at m, passes through the port j to one side of the piston while the steam from the back of the piston is allowed to escape by the ports j<1>, i<1> to the exhaust pipe l<1>. At the same time, steam is admitted by the valve p<1> through ports k, k<1>, k<2> into the " reversion" chest or chamber n, where it is looked up.and, if desired, subjected to a re-heating process. During the succeeding stroke, the steam on one side of the piston is exhausted through the port j, the port k is closed, and the steam in the reversion chamber is admitted by the valve r to the other side of the piston. All three valves are connected and worked together by crossheads t, t<1> and side rods outside the cylinder. Fig. 2 shows another form of the invention, in which the valve-chest h and reversion chest n are of cylindrical or annular form, and the valves p, p<1>, r are in the form of rings surrounding the cylinder.
Patent GB-190208199-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Furnaces
Inventor: GROBET GEORGES
Filed: 1902-04-08
Granted: 1903-04-08
Abstract: 8199. Grobet, G., and Bernasconi, C. April 8. Dampers, operating. Relates to apparatus for opening the flue damper of a steam-boiler furnace by the action of closing the firedoor, and for allowing it to close gradually under the control of a cataract cylinder or dash-pot. The opening of the firedoor a does not affect the apparatus, by reason of certain spring tappet-pieces and cams in the mechanism shown in Figs. 2 and 3 ; but, on closing the door, the valve e is opened to admit steam to the cylinder d and depress the piston in it, in order to raise the damper by means of a chain or cord 29 attached to the piston-rod. The cataract cylinder b allows free movement in the downward direction, but checks the return movement to a variable extent according to the adjustment of the screw-valve 44 in a bye-pass connection between the ends of the cylinder ; a valve 43 in a branch of the bye-pass may be opened, however, to allow a free return movement whenever desired. The valve e is locked in its open position by a spring detent 39 engaging a catch 40, but, on the completion of the downward motion of the pistons, the catch is released by a stop on the piston-rod striking a collar 32, and thus, by means of the lever 33, raising the detent 39. The valve e, being thus released, is closed by the action of the spring 9, and the cylinder d is opened to exhaust ; the damper then begins to fall slowly under the control of the dash-pot. An alarm bell 31, or the like, is sounded by a tappet affixed to the chain when the damper has become closed. The spring-tappet and cam mechanism above referred to is constructed and arranged as follows :-On the spindle 6 of the door hinge, which moves with the door, is fixed a forked arm 2 carrying a sliding tappet-piece 3, which is pressed outwards by a spring. Above the arm 2 is a loose crank-arm 5 with a downwardlyturned flange having a cam-shaped inner surface 10. On opening the door, the cam 10 presses the tappet-piece inwards and the crank-arm is not moved, but, on closing the door, the tappet-piece engages the end of the flange, and the crank is moved to open the valve e. After moving a certain distance, the tappet-piece comes in contact with a fixed, but adjustable, cam-piece 6, which presses it inwards, so that it escapes the end of the flange on the crank.arm, which is thus no longer moved with the arm 2.

Patent GB-190212551-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Boxes with Matches or other Articles
Inventor: DININNY FERRAL CARLTON JR
Filed: 1902-06-02
Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 12,551. Lake, H. H., [Dininny, F. C.]. June 2. Measured quantities, delivering.-The apparatus is particularly applicable for filling boxes with match splints, but may be used for other splints and articles, such as tooth-picks. The matches are carried along a runway 1 in blocks 3, Fig. 11, being held d therein by gripping plates 5, 6. As each two rows of matches come over the carrier 31, they are released by a cam acting through a shaft 39 and levers 34 upon the plates 6, and are then thrust downwards by two rows of plungers 29. The carrier is then turned into the position shown in Fig. 12, and deposits the two rows of matches into boxes carried on a chain 85. One side of the recesses in the carrier is closed by swing doors 59 operated by a rack 61 and pinions 60, the ends of the rack working in cam-grooves 62. The end of the carrier is closed by a door 49 operated by a toothed sector 50 and pinions 56, 55. There is a certain amount of lost motion between the sector and the carrier, allowing the pinions to be operated. The matches are expelled from the carrier by plungers 63 operated by a cam-groove 67 and lever 66. The box chain is operated by the mechanism shown in Fig. 4. It comprises a ratchet 77, operated by the match-feed mechanism and driving a star-wheel 75, which operates a pinion 74 on the chain wheel every five strokes of the ratchet. The pinion is locked by discs 83, 84. After being filled, the boxes are raised out of the chain by the mechanism shown in Fig. 7. The loose bottom 88 of each link is raised by a plunger 100 until the box, steadied by the plunger 90, reaches the level of the table 102, when it is thrust on to the latter by a plunger 103. The plungers 100, 103 are operated by cams 91, 106 on the shaft 76. The boxes are fed into the chain by similar mechanism at the other end of the machine. The empty blocks 3, Fig. 11, are carried up an incline and switched by hand on to a return runway, along which they are moved mechanically.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Drying and Tentering.
Inventor: GESSNER ERNST
Filed: 1902-07-24
Granted: 1903-07-24
Abstract: 16,479. Gessner, E. July 24. Stretching and tentering.-Relates to mechanism for automatically impaling the cloth upon, and releasing it from, the pins of drying and tenter- ing machines. The chains are constructed with links a, a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, &c., Fig. 2, connected by pins I, which are alternately at right - angles to one another to permit movement of the chains in two planes, and the alternate links a<1>, a<3>, &c. are provided with openings A to engage the support- ing and driving sprocket-wheels, and with a grooved flange C, Fig. 1, which runs against a guide-bar d as the chains travel between the guides D, D<1>. Two arms E<3> projecting from the inner side of the links a', a<3>, &c. of each chain terminate in a bar B supporting a plate B<1>, the plates B<1> constituting almost continuous bearing- surfaces for the selvages of the cloth. Each link a<1>, a<3>, &c. has other projecting arms E carrying a spindle E<2>, on which a swinging yoke E<4> carrying a pin-plate G<1> is mounted. A continuous row of pins G is thus arranged at each side of the machine. The guide-bars d and the sprocket- wheels at the feed end of the machine are set in converging planes, so as to bring the chains nearer together to receive the fabric, the selvages of which are fed over the plates B<1>. Feelers H fixed to the yoke E<4> rest on the fabric and keep the pins clear, but as the chains diverge, the cloth is drawn from below the feelers, which then fall through openings in the plates B<1> and allow the pins G to engage the cloth. The further diver- gence of the chains allows the pins to fall, through openings in the plates B<1>, to the position shown in dotted lines, where they are held by a finger f<2> on the yoke coming against stops e<1> on the arms E, and the chains then move parallel to one another to convey the cloth backwards and forwards in superimposed tiers through the drying or tentering chamber. The chains, on emerging from the drying-chamber, converge, to allow the cloth to be stripped from the pins, and a cam-bar afterwards engages the fingers f<2>, to return the parts to their original position. The guide-bar d and flanges C also protect the cloth from being spotted with grease or oil. In a modification, applicable when list curl occurs in the cloth, an uncurling-plate of angular form is carried by arms pivoted on each spindle E<2>, and one face of the plate is parallel to the plate B<1>. As the chains diverge, the cloth is straightened out by the plates preparatory to being impaled on the pins. Slots are made in the uncurling-plates to allow the feelers to work. In another modification, the uncurling-plate is pivoted on an axis nearer to the chain than, or at the opposite side of the chain to, the spindle E<2>, and is raised by engage- ment with the feelers, or the feelers may be shaped to act as the uncurling - plate. The arrangements are also applicable to other clamping- devices.
