Patent GB-190308461-A (GB)
Title: Spring Coiling Machine.
Inventor: KIRK FRANK
Filed: 1903-04-14
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 8461. Kirk, F. April 14. Springs, making. -Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, and Figs. 2 and 4 show details of a machine for coiling metal to form springs. Mounted in the framing A are a number of equidistant heads C, in each of which is a plunger D, having pivoted to it a forked piece carrying a grooved roller d. The heads C have bosses c, movable in holes in the framing, and provided with screwed stems c' of graduallyincreasing pitch from the base upwards. On these stems are toothed nuts 3, gearing with a wheel G, mounted on a spindle and geared to a wheel n. The plungers D have teeth on one edge gearing with pinions 4 movable along, but rotating with, spindles 5, which carry pinions 6 gearing with an internal wheel L. This wheel L can be rotated by hand or otherwise, to adjust the positions of the rollers d and the diameter of the spring being made. The pitch of the coil is adjusted by altering the positions of the heads C by rotating the wheel G. The metal bar or ribbon is coiled continuously to the form shown in Fig. 7, in which the coils at 33 are close together at the ends of the springs, which are formed by dividing the continuous coil at these points. The heads C are adjusted to produce the form of coil shown, by rocking the spindle carrying the wheel n by means of rack and pinion gear actuated by a crank of adjustable length. The wheel carrying this crank is geared to a wheel R, Fig. 1, which is driven by ratchet and pawl gear. This gear can be thrown out by the means shown in Fig. 1, to allow the coils to be made evenly for any length of time desired. On the main spindle is a capstan wheel 10 gearing with a pin-wheel 13, which also gears with a wheel 14. A pin 15, projecting from this wheel 14, rocks a lever 16, and, by means of the levers 20, 21, throws the pawls out of gear, so that the rack-and-pinion gear for altering the pitch is thrown out of action.

Title: Manufacture of Sulphurised Dyestuffs.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1903-05-29
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 12,298. Imray, O., [Soc. Anon. des MatiÞres Colorantes et Produits Chimiques de St. Denis]. May 29. Dyes, artificial.-In a modification of a process described in Specification No. 2839, A.D. 1901, dye-stuffs are prepared by reacting with the product obtained by acting with sulphur chloride upon a phenol, or a homologue thereof, such as o- or m-cresol or commercial cresol, upon indophenols obtained by oxidizing an equimolecular mixture of dimethylphenylenediamine and phenol or o- or m-cresol. Thus, a mixture of the indophenol from phenol with a hot aqueous solution of sodium sulphide is heated slowly, with stirring, to 120-30‹ C. in an iron vessel, and, when this becomes pasty, the product of the reaction of sulphur chloride on commercial cresol is added. The mixture becomes ultimately solid, and is heated for several hours at 130-60‹ C. The resultant mass, to which sodium sulphide may be added if but little was previously used, dissolves in water to a dark - blue solution, which dyes unmordanted cotton fast blue tints.

Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 21,891. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 12. Ball bearings; dust and the like, excluding; hangers.-Relates to ball bearings for line shafting such as that placed beneath the tables on which sewing-machines are mounted in factories. The sleeve e is supported by balls f running in a V-shaped groove formed by the casing a and the adjustable ring c, which is prevented from rotating by the screw i. The projecting portions h exclude dust from the bearing and so hold the sleeve e between the parts a, c that it may be slipped into place, whether the balls are inserted or not, by moving it longitudinally along the shaft. The balls may be inserted or removed by withdrawing the ring c. The collars d enable the lengths of shafting to be enclosed by tubular guards k. The ball-cases a are supported in hangers m having lugs o, n and a set-screw p held by a lock-nut q. When the set-screw q is adjusted, the ball-case adjusts itself on the pointed lug o till it is in alignment with the other ball-cases.

Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Amalgamating and Coating Metals or Alloys of Metals with Metals or Alloys of Metals by the Aid of Electricity
Inventor: JOHNSON HENRY MAURICE WILTON P
Filed: 1904-02-08
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 3087. Johnson, H. M. W. P. Feb. 8. Amalgamating.- Relates to electrolytic c apparatus with a moving electrode for amalgamating metals and alloys. A metal plate a, Fig. 1, provided with bristles or Mexican fibres b, is carried by a hollow shaft c, which is mounted in bearings d, e in a felt-covered handle f. The plate a forms the anode, owing to a spring contact i. The electrolyte passes from a tube n through openings q into the shaft c, which is rotated, as by means of a flexible shaft h, and is thrown outwards by centrifugal action, thereby moistening the fibres b. A spring k keeps the fibres pressed against the surface to be treated, and an india-rubber packing v, w carried by a flange t on the bandle f prevents escape of the electrolyte, the packing engaging the surface to be treated. A gland r and packing s prevents the electrolyte from escaping upwards. In a modification, Fig. 3, for treating curved surfaces, the fibres are replaced by a layer of felt 5, to which the electrolyte penetrates by way of perforations 4. The casing 2 may be of metal, or wholly or partly of ebonite, in which case an auxiliary anode is employed inside the casing. When the plate a, Fig. 1, is of ebonite or the like, a separate anode may be secured inside the casing t.

Title: Improvements relating to the Starting and Control of Direct Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: HEATH WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1905-02-07
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 2401. Heath, W. H. Feb. 7. Switches.-In starters and controllers for directcurrent motors, the rheostat is enclosed in a case along with a main-circuit switch, which must be closed before the rheostat can be turned on. The main-circuit double-pole switch a, Fig. 1, is closed by raising a hand-lever f, connexion being made by a pin-and-slot joint. The common casing of the switch a and rheostat &c. is of cast iron with a suitable inspection window, and may be waterproof. A pinion l, rotatable by a hand-wheel outside the casing, is centred over the pivot of the lever f and gears with a wheel k integral with a pinion j, which on the lever being raised is brought into gear with a toothed sector i, extending from the spring controlled rheostat arm h, and allows the latter to be turned gradually to the full on ' position, where it is held by a no-load release magnet o. On releasing the handle g, the lever f drops to the limit of the pin-and-slot joint and disconnects the gear-wheels from the sector i; while the main switch is held closed by an electro-magnet q. To allow the regulating-arm to be left in intermediate positions, the pin-and-slot joint is replaced by an ordinary pin or other connexion such that the pinion j will be held in gear with the sector i by the action of the electro-magnet q as long as current is passing. An overload release magnet r is adapted to short-circuit the magnets o, q. An addition shown in Fig. 3, enabling the switch a to be closed and the rheostat to be operated by means of the hand-wheel alone, consists of a stud u on the wheel k, bearing, in the lower position, on a stop v fixed to the casing, so that, when the wheel k is turned, the stud rides up the stop, lifting the lever into the circuit-closing position, where it is retained by the magnet q, and is then left free to revolve.
