Title: Improvements in Fabric Printing Machinery.
Inventor: MATHER WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-10-07
Granted: 1904-10-07
Abstract: 21,595. Mather, Sir W. Oct 7. Printing fabrics.-In a machine for printing scarves and similar fabrics, the cross - border - printing-rollers g, Fig. 2, and the body-printing- rollers g<1> are moved into and out of printing contact with the fabric on the impression cylinder at the required intervals by a cam c, the surface of which is formed of spring- controlled transversely slidable blocks b. Suitably-placed tappets on a chain i are caused by a guide i<1> to press against and displace sideways to a greater or less degree certain of the blocks b, which thereby engage one or more of the interchangeable shoes on swinging pieces p. Through cords u and bell-crank levers k, clutches are thrown out of engagement with the cross-border rollers g for a suitable time, to cause the rollers to be in the right position for printing. The printing-rollers g g<1> are kept out of contact with the fabric by rollers mounted on sliding blocks d working in guides d, and bearing against the blocks b, except where the latter are displaced into the correct transverse positions. A fixed guide returns the cam blocks b into their normal positions for redistribution by the tappets. To change the length of the scarves or the position of the cross-borders, the tappets on the chain are re-arranged, or a fresh chain substituted.

Title: Improved Miners Safety Lamp.
Inventor: THOMAS THOMAS
Filed: 1905-06-09
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 12,053. Thomas, T., and Thomas, D. E. June 9. Miners' safety lamps.-Relates to the locking, lighting, and air supply. The pillars T, connecting the rings E, D, are hollow tubes, and the glass B is held in position by a ring D<1> screwed in the ring D. The reservoir A, when screwed in the ring D, is locked by a rod N which passes down holes 0, O<1> and drops in a recess R. The ring F, to which is riveted the bonnet C, is then screwed down on the ring E ; this prevents the removal of the rod N. The final operation of locking the lamp is thus made to consist in locking the two rings E, F together. This may be done by a magnetically-released bolt L or in any other way. A conical chimney I is carried by the ring E and is completely surrounded by wire gauze K. Air to support combustion is admitted by openings H, and passes through gauze-covered slots G and down the tubes T, and is supplied to the bottom of the flame through the central opening in the ring D'. The lamp is lighted by a fusee tape t from a coil on the spindle h being drawn between a curved guide g and a knife-blade k, by winding up the ratchet d by means of a button placed outside the lamp. This lighting-mechanism is placed in the space M in the reservoir, the knife-blade k being level with the top of the wick.

Title: Improvements in Cooling the Cylinders of Internal Combustion Engines and in Apparatus therefor
Inventor: KENNEDY RANKING
Filed: 1905-11-02
Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 22,390. Kennedy, R. Nov. 2. Gas and like engines.-The cylinders are cooled by a current of air, drawn from outside the bonnet of a motor road vehicle, and produced by an ejector action of the exhaust gases. The cylinder is formed with helical ribs like a many-threaded screw, and is surrounded by a metal jacket, the air flowing through the spiral passages thus obtained. Fig. 1 is a view of one arrangement, showing the helical ribs K, jacket N, and exhaust nozzle F. The gases, flowing from the nozzle through the cone G, induce a current of air, which enters at H, flows down to the space C, and thence through the tube D to the outlet. In a modification, the nozzle F communicates directly with a port in the cylinder wall. The mixed air and gases flowing from, the cone. G may pass through a silencer.

Abstract: 22,603. Markel, K. E., and Roberts, H. Nov. 4. S e t t i n g s ; steam receivers ; supporting ; superheaters, steam. - Relates more especially to that class of boiler in which a steam drum is enclosed in the heating space in such a way as to act as a superheater. The external flues of a Lancashire boiler are arranged so that, as shown by the arrows in the Figures, which represent different sections, the gases enter the side flue o, pass to the front, return by the side flue p, ascend to the flue u which encloses one of the drums e when two drums are employed, and returns by the flue k which encloses the other drum, to the outlet v. When one drum only is employed, a diaphragm of brick or iron separates the space surrounding the drum into two flues. An elongated U-shaped drum may be substituted. The gases preferably pass the drums in the reverse direction to that in which the steam proceeds in the drums. Thus, in the case of two drums, the steam leaves the boiler by the outlet b and enters the second drum by the junction d in order to be drawn off by the steam-pipe f. Supporting- brackets are shown at l. The settings permit of an easy examination of the flues by the provision of man-holes &c. The drums may be provided with internal fins or radiators.
