Title: Improvements in Textile and other Yarns and Mechanical Processes for Producing the same.
Inventor: RILEY WALKER
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 29,243. Riley, W. Dec. 31. Yarns and threads; processes.-The object is to produce at one operation on the spinning-machine, yarns having the properties of two-fold, threefold, or other kinds of doubled yarns. To produce a yarn which is similar in character say to a two-fold yarn, the rovings y<1>, y<2>, drawn from separate bobbins a<1>, a' in the spinning-frame, are passed separately through guides g<1>, g<2>, as far apart as practicable, and are separately drawn by the rollers b<1>, b<2>, c<1>, c<2>, after leaving which they pass together to the twisting and winding spindle. By this arrangement, part of the twist which is imparted by the flyer &c. is shared by the separate strands before they are combined together. In a similar manner, yarns corresponding to three-fold, four-fold, &c. yarns may be produced. Also in any of the operations previous to the spinning operation, in which a twist is imparted to the material, the twist so imparted may, if desired, be in the opposite direction to that which is given in the spinning-frame.

Title: Improvements in Self-acting Mules.
Inventor: HOUGET FERNAND
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 29,632. Houget, F. Dec. 31. Mules.-Relates to improvements in the pneumatic apparatus described in Specifications Nos. 12,584 and 12,721, A.D. 1904, for regulating the movements of the counterfaller during the backing- off and winding-on. The apparatus described in the prior Specifications is modified in such a manner that it may be used (1) for simply avoiding the shock on the yarn when backing-off, or (2) for avoiding the shock during backing-off and regulating the tension of the yarn during winding-on. The pneumatic cylinder 1 is carried by a pivoted lever 10, which may be raised and lowered as the carriage moves in and out by reason of a roller 12 moving on a rail 13, or it may be clamped to the carriage by means of a pin or peg 14. The lower valve 3 of the cylinder is provided with removable weights 8 instead of a spring, and the piston-rod 5 is connected with the arm 17 on the counterfaller shaft by means of a pin-and-slot arrange. ment 6, 16. A pin 15 is also provided for holding the pin 16 at the lower end of the slot 6 when desired. When the apparatus is used only for avoiding the shock on the yarn during backing-off, the pins 14,15 and also the weights 8 are removed, so that the lever 10 carrying the cylinder 1 rises and falls with the varying level of the rail 13, which is so arranged that for a large part of the traverse the stud 16 occupies the middle position of the slot 6 and is free to rise and fall. During backing-off, the rise of the counterfaller and the descent of the piston in the cylinder is resisted by the pneumatic effect of the air in the cylinder. For avoiding the shock during backing-off and also for regulating the tension of the yarn during winding- on, the lever 10 is locked to the mule carriage by means of the pin 14, and the pin 16 is locked in the lower end of the slot 6 by the pin 15, while the valve is weighted as described above. By this means, the shock to the yarn during backing-oft is avoided in the manner described above, and, in addition, the depression of the counterfaller during winding-on is resisted by the rise of the piston, the extent of this vacuum being regulated by the weights applied to the valve 3.

Title: Improvements in Illuminated Signs.
Inventor: URRY FRANK HARVEY
Filed: 1905-05-31
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 11,423. Urry, F. H. May 31. Drawings to Specification. Signs.-In illuminated signs or advertisements the illuminated words or the like change colour continuously and without apparent movement. In the front of a light-tight case is fixed a front screen of ground glass, or other convenient material, in which the portions surrounding the letters &c. are blocked out with opaque paint or otherwise. A little behind this is fixed a colour screen of glass, or the like, ruled in narrow, parallel, preferably vertical, bands of equal width, say 16 in., of transparent colour, preferably red, blue, and green alternately, although more or less colours or tints may be used. As close as possible without actual contact behind the colour screen is placed a dissolver consisting in a third sheet of glass or the like ruled in parallel, vertical, opaque bands, or a sheet of metal or the like pierced with parallel slits. Each band is as wide as two of the coloured bands and is separated by a space equal to the width of one colour band. The dissolver is swung upon links or otherwise moved to and fro behind the colour screen, by clockwork, electric motor, or other suitable means, a distance equal to the width of four of the colour bands, at a variable speed but preferably slowly. At the back of the box and behind the means of illumination, preferably a number of incandescent electric lamps, is placed a reflector of any suitable material. Supposing that in the normal position of the dissolver light only reaches the front screen through the red bands of the colour screen, then, upon the dissolver slowly moving, equal portions of the next or blue bands are uncovered, so that the colour of the letters or designs on the front screen gradually dissolves from red through all the tints resulting from the mixture of red and blue into pure blue, and so on. Portions of the dissolver may, of course, be so altered that different parts of the sign always exhibit different tints. The mcst effectual distance between the colour and front screens is such that the opaque bands of the dissolver cease to cast any shadows on the front screen and the words &c, there exhibit an even surface of coloured light. Opaque lines between one or more colour bands on the colour screen may be provided, giving the appearance of a gradual fading and reappearance of the coloured lights. In a modification, the dissolver may be fixed between the front screen and the colour screen, which is moved behind it.

In either form, the cap 1 may be receesed so that the inner cap lies flush with the outer cap. The inner cap is non-corrosive, and easily punctured to open the vessel, and, as its lower flange rests on the mouth of the bottle, it protects the packing-ring from the contents of the vessel.
Patent GB-190523423-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for Mitigating Jolts of Vehicles of all kinds.
Inventor: MANS ALBERT
Filed: 1905-11-14
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 23,423. Mans, A. April 27, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Springs. - The recoil of vehicle springs is checked by the compression of air in a cylinder fixed to the vehicle body, by a piston connected to the axle. The cylinder- 1 is divided into two parts by the piston 4 and communicates by a tube 16 to a reservoir 15 partly filled with liquid. The piston is provided with a valve 9, which communicates from the chamber 2 to the chamber 3 and is mounted on a hollow piston-rod in which is made an aperture 12 the effective area of which is regulated by a pintle 13. In the normal position of the vehicle spring, the piston 4 is near the bottom of the cylinder and, during compression of the spring, the piston rises and air flows from the chamber 2 to the chamber 3 by way of the aperture 12 and valve 9. When the vehicle spring recoils, the piston moves downwards, the valve 9 closes, and a valve 10 opens and the air in the chamber 3 and reservoir 15 is compressed, the communication by way of the aperture 12 not being sufficient to equalize the pressure in the chambers 3,2. The piston descends until it engages with the tube 16, which is slotted at 17 to provide for a gradual cut-off between the chamber 3 and the reservoir and chamber 2. On the recoil of the piston due to the compressed air in the chamber 3, the pressure is rapidly relieved by the reservoir 15 and the upper chamber 2. When the piston is at the top of the cylinder, the aperture 12 is closed by the stuffing-box 18, and, as the piston descends, air is drawn into the cylinder through the valve 10. In the do wnward movement, as soon as the orifice 12 is open, air passes from the chamber 3 and closes the valve 10. Thus, at each compression additional air is admitted by the valve 10, and the pressure in the cylinder 1 is increased. The pressure in the cylinder is limited by a relief valve 11. The cylinder may be placed in an horizontal position and the piston connected to the axle by a flexible band, in which case the piston is pushed towards the cover of the cylinder by a spiral spring and by the internal pressure in the cylinder.
