Title: Improvements in Machines for Balling or Winding Slivers of Fibrous Material.
Inventor: LEE WILLIAM BROADLEY
Filed: 1899-06-13
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 12,270. Lee, W. B. June 13. Balling-machines.-Improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 17,793, A.D. 1898. To prevent the spindle B from working out by vibration, it is surrounded by a screwed sleeve 2, which is split at its inner end and can slide on a conical portion 7 of the spindle. When the wheel B<3> is turned so as to press against a collar 9 on the end of the spindle, the split end of the sleeve 2 is wedged against the inner surface of the sleeve A<2>. To release the spindle, when the ball is completed, the wheel B<3> is screwed against the cap A<8>, the first effect of which is to move outwards the sleeve 2 and afterwards the spindle B. The ratchet-wheel on the driving-shaft is provided with only one tooth 12, and the lever L on the presser shaft G<2> is provided with a projection 15 for engaging with the pawl lever K<3> and with a bevelled spring pin 14. As the lever K<3> is depressed, the bevelled spring pin 14 is pressed inwards until the ratchet is released, when a cam 13 rotating with the ratchet further depresses the lever K<3>, until the spring pin 14 passes over the upper edge of the same and prevents its being raised. The presser G is operated by a system of weighted levers 20, 25, 26, which may be operated for the purpose of relieving the pressure by a lever 33 and segmental gearing 31, 30.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Work Measuring Instruments
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-04-25
Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 7691. Johnson, G. W., [Hartmann & Braum]. April 25. Energy meters.-Induction motor meters a n d electrodynamometers are arranged for use on balanced three - phase alternating - current systems. In a motor meter, Fig. 2, the spindle carries two conductive discs X, Y at some distance apart, both acted on by a principal shunt coil b carrying a current lagging 60‹ behind the pressure between mains I', I<3>. One disc X is also acted on by two coils a, c, placed 90‹ and 180‹ away from the principal shunt coil b, respectively inserted in the main I', and carrying a current lagging 60‹ behind the pressure between mains I<2>, I<3>. The other disc Y is acted on by similarly-placed coils f, d, respectively inserted in the main I<2>, and carrying a current lagging 60‹ behind the pressure between mains I', I<2>. Ordinary retarding and registering devices are provided. An electrodynamometer, Fig. 3<A>, has two stationary coils S', S<2> inserted in the mains I', P, and an axle t carrying three pressure coils s<1>, s<2>, s<3>, which respectively convey currents in phase with the pressures between the mains I', I<1>, I<3> and a neutral connection. The pressure coils s<1>, s<2> are circular, and co-operate separately with the main coils S<1>, S<2>, but the third pressure coil s<3>, containing double the number of turns, surrounds the other pressure coils and co-operates with both current coils. Current is conveyed to the pressure coils through three controlling-springs, and the deflections of the movable part are indicated by a pointer or otherwise on a scale. The pressure coils in these instruments can be supplied either directly through resistances from the mains, or through inductances or capacities producing 30‹ or 60‹ phase displacements from other mains, as mentioned in connection with Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with Wire Drawing.
Inventor: GLOVER WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1900-12-15
Granted: 1901-11-23
Abstract: 22,959. Glover, W. G. Dec. 15. Drawing.-In order to dispense with the immersion of the wire in a cooling-solution after its passage through each die, the drawing-rolls are made hollow, so that they and the wire may be cooled by the admission of a suitable fluid. The roll a, Fig. 1, is built up of side plates v, t and a rim s, mounted on a hollow driving-shaft b. The supply pipe c is connected by a fixed pipe d and gland e to the shaft b, to supply cooling-fluid to the roll through a passage p, the end o of the shaft being stopped. If air is used, it may be discharged through apertures i to act directly on the wire, but, if water is used, it is discharged through a suitable passage j without coming in contact with the wire. The Specification describes the application of the invention to a continuous wiredrawing machine.

Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 13,339. De Pass, E., [Soc. Anon. des Freins "Stop"]. July 1. Brakes specially adapted for long goods trains. The Specification describes continuous friction brakes controlled by compressed air, but the control may be effected by hand or by electricity, steam. or vacuum. Fig. 1 shows the " off " position. When the pipe 1 is vented, the piston r descends, forcing down the loose lever s and applying the roller k to the renewable sleeve p on the wheel axle q. The rotation of the roller k winds in the cord i, and the arm h rocks the lever f and forces the pistons d, b to the right, thereby moving the spring lever a. A second friction roller 2 of steel is carried by the arm 4, which turns on the pin 5 and is flexibly connected to the lever s. When the roller 2 comes against the wheel tyre, the sleeve 8, Fig. 3, on the axle 3 moves to the left, owing to the centrifugal action of the balls 7, and the pull on the spring rod 10 forces down the lever o connected to the arm m so as to keep the roller k against the sleeve p. The lever s, which is connected to the lever o by the spring rod u, has holes z for the attachment of the weight y. The valve of the sand box can be connected to the rod of the piston r, or to one of the levers o. s.
