Title: Improvements in Button Blank Cutting Machines.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1899-12-12
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 24,738. Thompson, W. P., [Pendry, W. A.]. Dec. 12. Sawing.-Relates to a machine for cutting button blanks. The blank is cut by a cylindrical cutter J, secured to a mandrel F rotated by bevel gearing F<3>, B' and a hollow die a<6> mounted on a table A<7> which can be adjusted on its support A<6>. The table A<6> can be adjusted vertically by turning a screw 5 so as to depress one end of a lever 1 pivoted at 3 and connected at the other end to the table. The mandrel F is depressed so as to bring the saw J, which is secured to the mandrel by conical surfaces f and a clamping- ring f<1> into action by a lever K connected at one end to the mandrel, pivoted at k and actuated at the other end by a cam secured to a shaft c', which is rotated through a worm and wheel from the main shaft. To allow of this motion, the bevel-wheel F<3> is loosely mounted on the mandrel, and is connected thereto by a pin f<4> and slot f<3>. The blank is supported, when in action, by a rod R secured to a lever R<1> pivoted to the table A<7>, and connected by a link R' to a slot in a bell-crank lever W, one arm of which engages a cam V on the shaft c<4> so as to withdraw the support when the blank has been cut. A hollow tube G is then caused by a cam E on the shaft c<4>, acting through a lever n, and a rod N<1>, and a lever L connected to a yoke M secured to the head of the tube G, to descend and force the blank into a sieve, where bits &c. are washed away by water which may descend the tube G or may be otherwise supplied. A long tubular saw is preferably used, and is supported at its upper end by a screwed plunger H, which is normally secured in place by a screw F<2> engaging the threads. On releasing the screw F' and turning the plunger through a quarter of a turn, it can slide longitudinally on a keyway to effect rapid adjustment. The cam shaft c<4> can be slid longitudinally by levers connected with a treadle q so as to throw the cams out of gear. Similarly, the depression of a treadle P' operates a clutch on the shaft B, and disconnects the wheel B<2>.

Patent GB-190101467-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Glandular Extractive Products Consisting of the Active Principle of the Supra-renal Glands, and the Process of Producing the same.
Inventor: TAKAMINE JOKICHI
Filed: 1901-01-22
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 1467. Tahamine, J. Jan. 22. Medicines.-The active principle of suprarenal glands, called by the inventor adrenin or adrenalin, is separated as a crystalline substance having astringent and hemostatic properties, forming salts such as sulphate, chloride, &c., producing with ferric chloride a green colour when acid and a carmine red when alkaline, and with iodine a green colour, and reducing solutions of gold and silver salts. It is soluble in excess of fixed alkalies, in acids, and in water, and is insoluble in ammonia. To prepare it, disintegrated glands are repeatedly extracted with water, the liquid being warmed and air being excluded. The combined extract is evaporated in a vacuum pan, a little hydrogen &c. being admitted to prevent oxidation. Alcohol is then added, the precipitated albuminoids and mineral salts filtered off, and the alcohol distilled off in vacuo. The extract is next rendered alkaline with a fixed alkali, the excess being neutralized by ammonium chloride or carbonic acid, or ammonium hydrate may be used, the liquid being allowed to stand until adrenalin crystallizes out. The crystals are purified by dissolving in acids or alkalies, precipitating mineral and colouring matters by alcohol and ether, and reprecipitating by adding ammonia or neutralizing. Adrenalin separates out from aqueous solutions on cooling. A crude extract is obtained by simply concentrating the aqueous gland extract after treatment with alcohol.
Patent GB-190101821-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Registers or Apparatus for Controlling or Regulating Ventilation or the Passage of Air
Inventor: BROOKES ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1901-01-26
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 1821. Brookes, A. G., [Ridgway, H. N.]. Jan. 26. Ventilators; gratings; valves.-For controlling the passage of air for ventilating or warming, the register shown in plan in Fig. 1 is employed, Fig. 2 representing a left-hand end view of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a section on the line 5-5, and Fig. 7 the method of coupling together the two parts of the actuator which opens or closes the bars or valves of the ventilator. Each bar B of the ventilator is formed with two faces, Fig. 3, one of which is gridded while the other is plain. In Fig. 1, a bar is shown with its gridded face uppermost, the remaining two bars presenting closed faces. The frame of the ventilator is formed on its underside with depending lugs, to which offset portions of a guide or track 17, extending transversely of the frame, are detachably secured. This guide, which constitutes a convenient support for the two-part actuator, carries studs 20, which form pivots for one end of the bars B, the opposite end of the bars being supported on pivot screws tapped into a flange depending from the frame. To provide for operating one bar independently of another, the actuator, Fig. 7, is employed. It is composed of two parts 30 and 31, each part of which is capable of sliding independently upon the guide 17, lugs 32 and 33 upon their inner faces embracing the lower edge of the guide. Pins 35, 36, 37, and 38 assist in securing the actuator in position upon the guide. These pins also serve to swing the pivoted bars alternately in opposite directions to bring their open or closed faces uppermost The sidewise movement of the actuator is prevented by a flange upon one of the end bars of the frame. The pins on a movement of the actuator operate the bars by entering slots formed with flaring mouths in offsets at the end of the bars. For securing together the two portions of the actuator, a coupler, such as E, is employed, whereby two of the bars may be simultaneously actuated. The coupler consists of a lever with a rounded fulcrum, which seats itself in a recess in the part 30 and a hook 56 for engagement with the part 31. A projection 59 is formed upon the lever in such a way that, by pressing the projection towards the footpiece 52, the hook of the lever is disengaged and the two portions of the actuator disconnected.
