Filed: 1900-01-16
Granted: 1900-11-24
Abstract: 955. Wilson, E. Jan. 16. Hides and skins, tanned or tawed, treating.- Relates to leather-rolling machines so constructed that the weight of the machine itself is utilized by a toggle-like system of levers to exert the required pressure on the roller. The bed A is pivoted on lugs C of the end frames D, so that it can adapt itself to the roller B. The frames D rest at one end on blocks K, Fig. 2, and are supported beyond the vertical plane of the roller by means of projections d, Fig. 3, which rest on levers F. At their outer ends the levers F rest on supporting-posts G ; at their inner ends they carry a bar or shaft E, the bearings of which are connected to the top girder I by rods J. The roller B can be lifted to place work on the bed by means of a lever M which lifts - the bar E, but, when this bar is free, the weight of the frame D and girder I is multiplied in pressure between the roller B and bed A. The pressure can be varied by shifting the position of the fulcrum point G<1>, Fig. 3, which can be effected by means of a traversing-block L as shown in Fig. 4.

Title: Method of Measuring and Delivering Molten Glass from Tanks to Molds.
Inventor: BLUE CHARLES EDWIN
Filed: 1900-02-22
Granted: 1900-03-16
Abstract: 3547. Blue, C. E. Feb. 22. Delivering molten metal.-Relates to methods of delivering measured quantities of molten glass from tanks to moulds. In the machine shown in Fig. 1, the glass is transferred from a tank or pot C to a mould A. The glass is carried by a ladle l provided with a cover m which is closed over it by the action of the fixed pin s on the cam slot q whenever the piston j rises in the cylinder i. The ladle is therefore always closed while in the raised position, but opens when lowered into the tank C or funnel B. The pendulum arm J is pivoted at K, and carries at its upper end a disc M having grooves N in which works a pin I carried by a crank on the driving-shaft. The pendulum arm is by this means given an oscillatory movement with periods of rest at the end of each stroke During these periods a cam operates to open or close valves for the admission of air above and below the piston, so that the ladle is dipped into and withdrawn from the tank C while in the lefthand position, and operate similarly with regard to the funnel B on the other side. During the return stroke from right to left to receive a fresh charge, the ladle is lifted by means of the curved surface r, and allowed to drop into water contained in the receptacle D.

Patent GB-190117658-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Meters.
Inventor: SALDANA FELIPE
Filed: 1901-09-03
Granted: 1902-09-03
Abstract: 17,658. Saldana, F. Sept. 3. Energy meters. -An electric motor 3 drives counting-gear 30 at a speed regulated by a mechanical brake 8 and a contact-device 6 on an electrodynamometer 9, 10, 11, the movable coil 11 of which can turn through a small angle in opposition to the torque exerted on a conductive disc 5 by magnets 1, 2, carried by the motor spindle 3. The mean speed of the motor 3 is thus proportional to the power passing the electrodynamometer. The motor spindle 3 is out of line with an axle 4, which carries the coil 11, the disc 5, the brake 8, and a contact-brush 6, so that, when the axle 4 is turned in one direction, by the action of the coils 9, 10, 11, the brush 6 makes contact with the commutator of the motor, which is thus accelerated. When the axle 4 is turned in the other direction, by the action of the revolving magnets 1, 2 on the disc 5, the brush 6 leaves the commutator, and the brake 8 may be brought to bear against the motor spindle, to check its rotation. The motor 3 preferably contains a quantity of iron, retaining some magnetism to facilitate starting, and either the field-magnet coil or the armature may carry the main current, or part of it, or be otherwise connected ; or the motor may have a permanent field magnet. Either the contact-brush 6 or the brake 8 may be dispensed with ; in the former case the motor armature is permanently in circuit, and the field magnet must be without residual magnetism. The brush may make contact with a ring independent of the commutator of the motor, and an induction motor may be used. A resistance may be connected permanently across the brush contact. The contact-brush may otherwise be connected to close the circuit of an electromagnet 13, which acts as a magnetic brake on a conductive disc 12, attached to the motor spindle 3, or which has a movable armature carrying a mechanical brake to regulate the speed of the motor.

Abstract: 16,413. Shaw, C. M. July 23. Condensers.-The condenser of a s t e a m - propelled vehicle is made so as to form the dash- board. The ex- haust steam is passed into a cast- ing G, Fig. 3, at one side of the car, and part of it passes along the transverse tube C, and up a bent tube B<2>, Fig. 1, forming one end of the condenser. The remainder of the steam passes up a tube similar to B', forming the other end of the condenser. These tubes are connected to the top rail, or to sleeves sliding on it to allow for expansion, and communicate with horizontal tubes CT. From the tubes CT the steam passes through perforations into header tubes HT, and down through the preferably flat tubes E, into the lower cross tubes LOT, communicating at one end with a casting G<2>. From the casting the water of condensation flows into the oil separator OS, and any free steam escapes through a vent pipe. The back and sides of the condenser are formed by plates H, and the front is com- pleted by panels P. The inflowing air is directed downwards by plates F, and a plate K prevents any upward current. The front, between the cross tubes, may be filled with metal gauze, or ornamental metal- work OW.
