Title: Pneumatic Brake for Cycles and other Road Vehicles.
Inventor: REXWORTHY HAROLD SIBREE
Filed: 1898-01-08
Granted: 1898-11-26
Abstract: 598. Rexworthy, H. S., and Girod, E. Jan. 8. Compressing in connection with pneumatic brakes for cycles and other road vehicles. The Figures show the application to a bicycle. The air is compressed by means of the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, consisting of an elastic ball t provided with an inlet valve and passage 1, and a passage 2 fitted with a non- return valve y. On compressing the ball t with the hand, the air contained in it passes through the passage 2 to a passage 3 and tube x leading through the frame to the brake, the valve y preventing its return. The pressure is released by pressing inward the spindle 4, thus opening a valve z and allowing the air to escape round the spindle. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which a piston pump formed in the handle-bar stem is used to compress the air. The piston p<1> has a cup-leather q<1>, and is operated by means of a rod s which is normally pressed upward by a spring s<1> as shown. On depressing the piston the air is forced through a passage 6 into the tube x, a ball valve 7 preventing its return. The pressure is released by still further depressing the piston so as to force downward, against the action of the spring shown, the conical piece 5 in which the passage 6 is formed, thus allowing the air to escape through openings 8.

Abstract: 5311. Sackville, J. A., and Swallow, J. H. March 4. Printing fabrics.-Both sides of a length of calico or other fabric may be printed upon by two printing-rollers, and corresponding bowls covered with india-rubber or other elastic material, which may be cleansed by apparatus of the form shown in Fig. 3, or by apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 796, A.D. 1897. A similar machine may be used for printing in discharge colours. The cleansing-apparatus shown in Fig. 3 comprises a squeegee M secured to a trough L which is mounted within slotted arms N, attached to the bearings of the bowl axle. The squeegee is forced against the bowl by a spring or screw R<1>, and the trough can be adjusted within the slots Q of the arms N, by means of a screw R. The trough may be in one piece with, or be connected to, similar troughs used for cleansing the ends of the bowl, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3, or the trough L may have its extremities turned inwards against the ends of the bowl. A spray pipe T, and rotary or reciprocating brush U, may be employed, and the trough is kept full of water, which may overflow through a pipe V.

Title: Improvements in Machinery or Apparatus for the Manufacture of Corrugated Furnace Flues and Analogous purposes.
Inventor: BOOKER JOHN IRELAND
Filed: 1898-04-04
Granted: 1899-02-18
Abstract: 7962. Booker, J. I. April 4. Corrugating.-Parallel or conical furnace flues or other tubes are corrugated by rolls 2, 2<a> carried in housings 1. Guide-rolls 20, Fig. 2, are used to steady the tube X. For parallel tubes the rolls are parallel, but for conical tubes conical rolls are used with their axes meeting in a point as described in Specification No. 14,796, A.D. 1897. Conical main rolls 3, 3a are shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The upper roll can be slid back by hydraulic pressure &c. on a bed 5, and the bearings of the lower roll are carried by toggle pieces 17 on crank levers 10 operated by a hydraulic cylinder 12 and connecting-rod 14. When the rod 14 is arranged horizontally the lower roll is maintained in a horizontal position while being raised and lowered, but, by transferring one end of the rod to the hole 16<a>, the lower roll is moved to an inclined position for conical corrugating. The guide-rolls 20 are mounted on levers 21 pivoted at 21<b> on the housings, and simultaneously advanced to or retracted from the main rolls by the links 22, quadrant lever and worm 25<a>, pinion 26, and rack 26<a>, operated by a hydraulic cylinder 27. The guide-rolls are driven by belting from the main driving-shaft.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Obtaining Synchronous Movement at the Ends of Submarine Cable or other Telegraph Lines.
Inventor: BROWN SIDNEY GEORGE
Filed: 1898-05-31
Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 12,201. Brown, S. G. May 31. Synchronous movements.-Relates to apparatus for obtaining synchronous movement at the ends of submarine cables or other telegraph lines. The apparatus employed at each end is shown in Fig. 1. The rotating contact-maker D has a toothed iron periphery formed in segments J, K, and is driven by the electromagnets C which receive periodic currents from a battery W. The contact-breaker B is governed by the tuning-fork T kept in vibration by the electromagnet N. The pendulum H at the centre of its swing makes momentary contact with the mercury globule M, and allows the passage of a current from the battery X through the brushes G, H. This should happen exactly at the time when the brushes E, F bridge the gaps between the segments J, K ; if they do not, the current passes through the polarized relay R and actuates mechanism to raise or lower weights W on the arms of the tuning-fork T, thus altering its rate of vibration.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal Wheels.
Inventor: CANDA FERDINAND EUGENE
Filed: 1898-06-07
Granted: 1898-08-06
Abstract: 12,734. Canda, F. E. June 7. Casting ; welding.-Metal wheels for railway cars, locomotives, &c. and belt pulleys are made with caststeel hubs 2 and rims 1 connected by spokes 3 composed of tough welding metal and welded to the rim or hub, or both. The spokes 3 are formed separately, and are placed in a suitable mould 4. Metal is first poured into the rim mould 7, which is provided with two gates 7<x> pening into the bottom thereof and with a number of vents. After the rim has solidified, metal is poured into the hub mould 8 provided with a gate and vent as shown. The cope 4<11> and drag 4<1> have radial partitions 5 and rings 6 to prevent the destruction of the hub mould during the contraction of the rim. The spokes are welded to the hub and rim by the action of the high temperature of the molten metal, and the pressure resulting from solidification. The wheel is finally annealed by raising it to a cherry-red heat, and allowing it to cool very slowly. The hub may be made of cast iron, when the spokes are merely mechanically attached thereto. The spokes may have holes 9 in their ends.

Title: A New Waterproofing Process.
Inventor: GOLBY FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-03-30
Granted: 1900-05-05
Abstract: 5994. Golby, F. W., [Hepburn, G. G.]. Marxh 30. Waterproofing ropes.-Ropes and other goods are waterproofed by means of combinations of insoluble tungstates with (a) acids obtained from fixed or fatty oils, (b) soluble salts of these acids, (c) sulpho-derivations of these acids and salts of the sulpho-derivatives, (d) fats, fixed oils, and waxes, and (e) resin soaps. The tungstate may be formed on the material by impregnating it with a soluble tungstate, and then treating it with a metallic salt which forms an insoluble tungstate. In this case the fatty acid or other compound is afterwards applied to the material by dissolving it in a suitable solvent. A second method involves the use of tungstatts which can be dissolved, for instance the tungstates of copper and zinc which form soluble compounds with ammonia. In this case the solution of the tungstate may be mixed with a soluble salt of a fatty acid or the like, and the material impregnated with the mixture. A third method consists in mixing a soluble tungstate with a soluble salt of a fatty acid or the like, and treating the material first with the resulting mixture and afterwards with a metallic salt which forms an insoluble tungstate.
