Title: An Improved Cycle Brake.
Inventor: TAFFURELLI LUIGI
Filed: 1899-09-20
Granted: 1900-09-08
Abstract: 18,919. Taffurelli, L. Sept. 20. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to rim and tyre brakes for cycles, motor cars, &c. arranged to be operated by rocking the saddle. The saddle clip, Fig. 5, is attached to the pin 6 by a clamping-bolt 51, and has double washers 55, 56 loosely fitting the side pins 52. The washers 55, 56 grip the side frames 4 of the saddle, and are held in position by the nuts 54 and collar pins 59. The telescopic brake rod 9, 10 is pivoted at 8 to the back of the saddle, and has the returning-spring 34 and its fixings acting either directly on the brake rod or on the saddle. The brake rod carries at its ends a roller 17, and operates a toggle-acting rim brake 31 by a pin 22. In a modified form, the two brakes are carried at the opposite ends of a plate pivoted to the end of the rod 10, the toggle action being omitted. The tyre brake is arranged to act before the rim brake.

Title: Improvements in the Heads of Siphons for Aerated Liquids.
Filed: 1899-09-30
Granted: 1900-07-21
Abstract: 19,643. Idris, T. H. W., and Griffith, R.H. Sept.30. Siphon bottles.-The object of the invention is to simplify the construction of siphon heads, and to prevent the liquid from coming into contact with metal. The head is made up of a metal tube a, Fig. 2, which is screwed on to a split ring c, and of a rubber washer e, which rests on the top of the bottle b, and upon the upper side of which rest both the flanged upper end of the tube d and a block f of earthenware or the like, which has the nozzle g made in one with it and has a central passage h and a groove j at the top. The nozzle g projects through a slot in the tube a. On the upper side of the block f lies a washer k, which acts as a valve, and is normally pressed down by a spring n acting on a plunger m, the whole being held in place by a cap o which is screwed on to the top of the tube a. The valve is opened by a lever p, which passes through a slot in the cap, is fulcrumed on the edge of a ring l, and is engaged with a slot in the plunger n. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the valve washer k is operated by a rotating cap q, which turns a screw r working in a fixed nut in the cap a' and having its end resting on the washer k. Inside the cap q are springs s, Fig. 6, which tend to bring it back again when released and thus close the valve k.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Beating up the Weft in Looms.
Inventor: PANITSCHEK HEINRICH
Filed: 1900-04-25
Granted: 1901-04-13
Abstract: 7682. Panitschek, H., and Herold, C. April 25. Loom beat-up motions; reeds.-The weft is beaten up in front of a fixed lay 1, either by a series of radial combs a on. a rotary shaft 2, Fig. 1, or by a single comb a on an oscillating shaft 2, Fig. 6. In both cases the shaft 2 is carried by bent levers 3, which are mounted on a shaft 4 and operated to raise and lower the combs by a connecting-rod 18 and a lever from a cam on the main shaft. The rotary shaft is driven by toothed gearing 10, 11 and a chain from the main shaft, and the oscillating shaft is operated by a connecting-rod from another cam on the main shaft. In the former case the blades a are arranged in different planes, and in the latter case either the comb a is shifted to and fro longitudinally by a screwed boss on a rocking lever 27, or the fixed comb is similarly moved. Loom shuttles ; shuttle-boxes.-In order to lay the weft as near as possible to the fell, the shuttle is provided with a projection 21, having an eye at the end, and the shuttle box c is formed with a long slit to receive it, and with a strengthening-arch 22. Loom lays.-In Fig. 1 the reed frame has studs 36 to engage with grooves 37, so that it may be lifted and turned down in front, as indicated in dotted lines, to facilitate access to the warp threads when several shafts are arranged one behind another. In Fig. 6 the reed frame is mounted on arms pivoted on studs 40, and is normally held by a lever engaging with a stud 42, but this lever can be released and the frame turned down by a hand-lever 46 and connections 44, 48<1>.

Patent GB-190015325-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery or Arrangements for Preparing and Twisting, and Spinning Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: METCALF AARON
Filed: 1900-08-28
Granted: 1901-11-28
Abstract: 15,325. Metcalf, A., and Sumner, C. J. Aug. 28. Processes; flyer, ring and traveller, &c. frames ; winding machines; bobbins.-Fleece or slivers from a lap a or from cans &c. are fed to a toothed drum b, which is divided into sections by rings b<2> extending just above the points of the teeth and arranged to clear the lower edges of partitions c<1> forming the sides of funnels, the remainder of the cylinder being enclosed in a casing h<1>, which may be arranged so as partially to enclose the feed cylinder a<3>. The fibres which are taken from the lap &c. by the toothed drum are thrown by the latter into the funnels and carried by the air current generated by the revolution of the drum against conical and rotating spindles d, which may be roughened or provided at their ends with twisted points or prongs d'. The fibre is drawn from the spindles d by rollers f, f<1> and passed over a counterfaller wire or arm h<1> and a winding-faller h<4> and wound on to the bobbins g<1> on the spindles g. The upper roller of each set of drawing-rollers may be made conical at one end to facilitate the placing of the threads between them. The bobbin g<1> is made of thin sheet metal and rests on a friction disc g<5> on the spindle. The material may be passed through drawing-rollers before it is supplied to the drum b, and after the thread is formed and drawn it may be passed to an ordinary spinning-spindle of the ring and traveller, flyer, or other suitable type, or be wound into bobbins or balls by means of an arrangement analogous to that used in an ordinary drum winding machine. The spindle d may be arranged in a horizontal, vertical, or other suitable position, and it is preferably enclosed in a hinged box or casing e, formed partly of perforated material for the admission of air during the twisting operation. The winding-faller h' or the ordinary copping-rail is operated for the purpose of winding- on through a vertical rod j, which rests at its lower end on a pair of levers k carried by a horizontally-reciprocated slide k<4>. The levers k are pivoted together at one end, and at their other ends are provided with studs, which engage in curved slots k<3> in upwardly-projecting portions of the slide k' and also rest upon inclined or curved shaper plates k<6>, which are moved intermittently upon the slide k', so as to raise the levers k as the winding proceeds, by means of a screw and ratchet arrangement k<7>, k<8>.

Abstract: 25,549. Prat, L. June 3, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Draught - inducers. - To enable the natural draught of the chimney to be utilized to the full, while using mechanical draught-inducers, a chimney of convergent-divergent vertical section is employed in connection with a fan which draws from the atmosphere or from the flue and delivers into the chimney through an induction apparatus, or direct. In one arrangement, the suction and delivery passages of the fan are shown coned instead of the chimney. Fig. 2 shows a fan drawing from the atmosphere and delivering through a central induction nozzle into the chimney. Fig. 3 shows a fan drawing from the flue band delivering straight into an ordinary chimney, the suction and discharge passages of the fan being coned, and a door a being fitted to stop the direct connection to the chimney when the fan is being used. Fig. 4 shows a fan drawing from the flue and delivering through an induction nozzle, and Fig. 5 shows a similar arrangement in which the fan delivers to the annular space around a central nozzle in the chimney, and in which the connections to the flue b may be adjusted so that the fan may draw both air and furnace gases through the induction apparatus f, i, furnace gases alone, or air alone. In the second case the cone f is adjusted to close the air inlet round the cone i, and in the third case the cone f is adjusted as above and the door l is opened.
