Patent GB-190005381-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Paper Holding Device for use in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: BODEMANN JOHANNES
Filed: 1900-03-21
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 5381. Bodemann, J. March 21. Type - writers.-Relates to a paper-holding device for use with a long roll of paper which is subsequently to be divided into sheets. The device is adapted to be clamped on to the carriage above the platen 31, and is decribed as applied to the Remington machine. The frame plates 1 are hinged at 35 to the clamps 34, and are provided at the rear with feet which rest on the rail 36. The roll of paper is wound on a cylinder 5 carried on a shaft 2 provided with a handle 7 and a brake 40. The paper passes over the rubbercovered roller 8, round the platen 31, and thence upwards to the cylinder 9, to which it is fastened in any suitable manner. A sleeve 11 on the shaft 4 of the cylinder 9 rotates with the shaft, but can be moved longitudinally against the tension of the spring 15, so as to throw the pinion 10 out of gear with the toothed wheel 20. The cylinder 9 can then be turned by the handle 19 to unroll the paper for the purpose of making a correction &c. The toothed wheel 20 forms part of a clockwork train which tensions the cylinder 9 sufficiently to take up slack when the platen is turned for line-spacing. A pawl 24 can be brought into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 23, so as to lock the clockwork train against movements when securing the paper on the cylinder 9 &c. Before turning the carriage over to the rear to inspect the written line, it is necessary to turn the frame 1 forward on its pivots 35, as the height of the frame would otherwise prevent the carriage from being turned completely back. To effect this, the operator grips the fixed handle 41 and the pivoted handle 42, bringing them together, and thus causing a detent 46 to lock the clockwork train before swinging the frame on its pivots. This prevents unwinding of the paper from the cylinder 9, the requisite unwinding taking place wholly from the cylinder 5. When producing duplicate carbon copies a number of cylinders 5 are provided, which are supplied with writing-paper and carbon paper alternately. The clockwork tram need only be released at the moment that line-spacing is being effected, the pawl 24 being linked with the line-spacing pawl 39 for that purpose.

Granted: 1901-04-06
Abstract: 18,015. Asmore, A., and Nelson, J. Oct. 10. Ploughs ; manuring and fertilizing.-Relates to the construction of an implement for ploughing land and distributing manure in one operation. The plough share 6 is pivoted to the rear end of the beam 1, and is adjustably secured in position by a bar 7, passing through a hole in the beam 1, and secured by a pin 10. The coulter 19 is mounted in a holder 11, adjustably secured to the beam 1 by a pin 15. Springs 20 are arranged to bear on the ends of the spindle of the coulter 19, and keep it down to its work, while allowing it to yield before an obstruction. A fertilizer hopper 21 is carried on bent arms 22, pivoted at the rear of the share 6, and supported by a fork 32 attached to a series of bell-crank levers, by means of which the arms 22 can be raised or lowered by the ploughman. A pin 38 may be passed through the handle of the bell-crank lever and through one of the plough handles to hold the arms 22 raised. The hopper 21 is formed with an adjustable slot in which a distributing-disc 31 works. The disc 31 is driven by chain gearing from the axle of a driving-wheel 25, carried by the arms 22 in such a way that, when the arms are raised, the wheel 25 is clear of the ground and no fertilizer is distributed.

Patent GB-190104525-A (GB)
Title: A Method of and Means for the Manufacture of Fringes on Fabrics.
Inventor: TUROWSKI STEFAN
Filed: 1901-03-02
Granted: 1902-03-01
Abstract: 4525. Turowski, S. March 2. Fringing.-The threads b, Fig. 1, are twisted, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5 to form fringes, as shown in Fig. 6, by apparatus such as that shown in Fig. 13. The twisters consist of cords 22, 23, passing over guide-pulleys in the twister heads 25, u, and over an actuating-disc or pulley 14. The disc 14 has on one side holes 19 to facilitate the adjustment of two pins on the face of the disc. The disc is loosely mounted on a shaft 15, and on the same shaft is loosely mounted a disc 20 having a nose 21 adapted to engage with one or other of the pins. The disc 20 is connected by a band 16 with the pulley 13 mounted on the shaft 7, which also carries a pulley 11 over which passes a band 8 connected with the treadles 9. Thus, by working the treadles alternately, the cords 22, 23 are moved in opposite directions. The upper twister-head 25 is movable so that the two cords can be moved to and removed from one another. The head 25 is actuated by a lever 26, pivoted at 27, and connected at its free end by a rod 28 with a lever 29, pivoted at 30, and carrying a friction roller 31, which presses against a cam 32, the cam thus serving to actuate the head. The downward movement of the head is limited by a stop 41 placed under the lever 26, the stop being rotated or adjusted by a rod 40, which is raised or lowered by rotating a disc 39 having a spiral edge. On the shaft carrying the cam 32 are a series of cams which act on projections or noses 42 on pivotedrods 43 carrying a series of spreaders n, r, and also dividers and a uniter. Some of the projections 42 are pivoted so that the corresponding rods 43 drop immediately when the cams are oscillated in a certain direction. To twist the fringes, the threads are placed in positions between the twisters. Suitable dividers, carried on some of the rods 43, are projected upwards to separate the threads into two strands, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5, spreaders, similarly operated, serving to separate these strands from one another and from other strands. The first two strands being twisted, a uniter, consisting of a plate having a vertical slit, serves to bring the two strands together, one over the other, which are then twisted in the reverse direction to form the fringe, Fig. 6. The rod 43, carrying a uniter, operates a disc 36, which, through the rod 37, adjusts a stop 38, to limit the descent of the head 25 while twisting the double strand. The rods 43 which are not refined are lifted into an inoperative position. The other fringes are similarly formed, and all are then cut.

Pivoted on the beam B at b<1> is an arm B<1> adjusted in position by screws b<2>. The end b<3> of this arm contacts with a stationary piece on the frame D'. The sheets are raised into contact with the pens at the intervals required by the ruling, by a bed E mounted on arms F pivoted at F<1>. On the arms F are lateral flanges, under which engage arms on the ends of a shaft G, which is rocked, to raise and lower the bed E, by means of cams D', D<3>, adjustable in position upon a revolving disc D. An arm K on the shaft G engages an adjustable stop screw G<2>, to limit the downward movement of the bed. An arm J on the shaft G is engaged by the cams D<3> to raise the bed, and, when it is so raised, another arm L on the shaft G is engaged by a projection on a latch N pivoted on the frame and pressed outward by a spring M<1>. On the latch is a projection P engaged by the cams D<2> to move the latch to release the arm L, whereupon the bed E drops and remains in its lower position until again raised by a cam D<3>. One or more of each of the cams D', D<3> may be used, in any required position, on the disc D.

Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 24,516. Gordon, W. C., and Gary, J. Dec. 2. Valves and valve gear.-Relates to doubleacting reversible steam engines, and consists chiefly in the construction of tappet valves and valve gear and means for reversing. Fig. 1 shows a portion of the engine in side elevation. The valve V consists of two tubes 13, 13<1> sliding through a steam-chest S and having open ports sliding over cylinder port faces, which are furnished with ports 14, 14<1>. This valve is connected to a tappet bar 4 sliding on a guide-bar 2, and through the medium of the lever 6 to a tappet bar 4<1> sliding on a guidebar 2<1>. The two tappet bars 4, 4' thus move in opposite directions. They are acted on only one at a time by the engine crosshead H, one being brought into action and the other put out of action by a lever 11 acted on by the adjusting-rod 22. By this adjustment the movement of the valve is altered suitably for reversing. At the same time, through the action of a lever 21, a reversing- valve in the steam-chest S is correspondingly adjusted, so that the flow of the steam, supplied by the pipe 18 and exhausted at 19, is charged from one of the pipes 13, 13<1> to the other.
