Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
Filed: 1904-11-05
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 23,979. Parsons, C. A., and Turnbull, J. Nov. 5. Steam &c. turbines.-Relates to a piston valve for a turbine engine, the object being to admit steam to the ahead' or astern' turbine without leakage and without the use of packing-rings. Steam is admitted by the pipe g, Fig. 1, through a controlling-valve (not shown) to a tubular sliding valve a, passing through holes c in the casing to the 'ahead' ports d. On the valve a being slid to the other end of the casing by an actuating-rod h, steam passes through holes e to the ' astern ' ports f. In order to obviate leakage from one set of ports to the other, an annular shoe k at one end of the valve contacts with a seating m on the casing. A similar pair n, o is located nearer the middle of the valve and casing ; to admit of reciprocatory motion, the valve and casing are, at the points of attachment of the shoe and seating respectively, divided into two portions of different diameters, the homologous parts being interfitting. The shoes may be made integral with the valve and another shoe and seating arranged to prevent leakage from port f to port d.

Title: Improvements in the Reciprocating Bed Motions of Printing and Analogous Machines
Inventor: CLEATHERO EDWARD THOMAS
Filed: 1905-01-12
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 612. Cleathero, E. T. Jan. 12. Converting rotary into reciprocating motion.- Relates to bed-reciprocating mechanism of the type having a reciprocating spur-wheel in gear with the bed, and alternately driven by one of two segmental toothed wheels, as described in Specification No. 14,268, A.D. 1897, [Abridgment Class Punting, Letterpress &c.], and consists in slowing down and reversing the motion of the reciprocating wheel at each end of the stroke by means of a slide gearing with a crank-pin on the wheel. The wheel u, in gear with the rack v on the bed c, is alternately driven, through the pinion t, by the segmental toothed wheels l, m, having toothed portions for one-third their circumference and turning in opposite directions. During the one-sixth revolution of the segments at each half-revolution in which they are not in gear with the pinion t, the pin w on the wheel u engages with one of the slots y in the reciprocating slide z and is thereby slowed down, and reversed, in time for the pinion t to gear in with the right segment. The slide is actuated by a block D, pin C, and crank disk E to make three reciprocations to every one of the bed and may be in another position, or may be replaced by a rocking sector or the like.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Spinning or Twisting and Winding or for Winding Yarn and the like.
Inventor: HUBBARD CHARLES WELLS
Filed: 1905-03-13
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 5183. Hubbard, C. W. March 13. Spindle apparatus ; winding-machines; bobbins, spools, reels, and balls of thread.-Relates to apparatus similar to that described in Specification No. 5180, A.D. 1905, for spinniog or twisting and winding or for winding only, in which the thread mass is built up continuously from one end in layers which are arranged transversely to the axis of rotation instead of parallel to it as usual. The thread is coiled in heart-shaped loops and in layers one upon another on a felt-covered plate 20 by means of a winding-plate 31 carrying a radially-sliding thread-guide 39. The thread mass and an encircling casing 24 which rests upon the thread are rotated continuously and at a uniform speed by bevel-gearing 19, 10 and the belt pulley 9, while the winding- plate 31 is caused to rotate with and slide upon a central spindle 27, which is driven from cone pulleys 1, 2 through teeth 13 in the shaft a, an epicyclic pinion 12 mounted on the face of the wheel 10, an internal wheel or ring of teeth 14 secured to the back of the bevel-wheel 15, and the bevelwheels 15, 16 and shaft 17. The spindle 27 is secured to the shaft 17 by a bayonet joint which is readily detachable. The rotating winding-plate 31 carries an epicyclic pinion 32 which engages with two rings of teeth 33, 34, of which one ring is secured to the casing 24 and the other to the underside of the cam-plate 35 for traversing the thread-guide 39. The numbers of teeth in the rings differ slightly, so that the effect is to cause the cam-plate 35 to rotate slightly faster or slower than the winding-plate, and each successive heart-shaped coil of yarn to be laid in a slightly different position. The winding is effected through the difference in speeds of the thread mass and the winding-plate 31, and when these are equal no winding takes place. Above the cam-plate is a retaining or cover plate 43, having a radial slot immediately above the slot in the winding-plate 31, and held in place by a ring 45 secured to the eating 24 and a nut 46 on the upper end of the sleeve 30 secured to the winding-plate 31. Fig. 2<a> shows a number of twisting and winding mechanisms driven from a common shaft.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Decomposition of Chrome-iron Ore by Alkaline Carbonates.
Inventor: ROEMER PETER
Filed: 1905-04-22
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 8642. R÷mer, P. April 22. Alkali chromates; iron oxide.-The decomposition of chrome-iron ore by means of alkali carbonates is carried out by fusing the ore first with a quantity of carbonate insufficient to effect complete decomposition, lixiviating, and then fusing the residue with the theoretical amount of carbonate required. In an example, 100 parts of finely-ground ore are fused with 50-70 parts of finely-ground sodium or potassium carbonate in a reverberatory furnace at a red-heat. Samples of the fused mass are analysed from time to time, and when there is no further increase in the amount of chromic acid, the mass is removed, cooled, lixiviated, and filtered. The residue is then mixed with the theoretical amount of carbonate or solution of carbonate, and is heated again with an oxidizing- flame in a reverberatory furnace. The chromate solutions can be converted into bichromate in the ordinary way, while the iron-oxide residue can be used as a paint.

Abstract: 15,610. Fletcher, F. T., and Fletcher, W. G. July 31. Speed indicators.-Attainment of a predetermined speed by motor-cars and other vehicles is indicated by means of a pivoted tell-tale arm, which is raised against gravity or a spring by a part moving correspondingly to the speed, and drops from this moving part at a definite speed, having to be reset by baud. In one form, Fig. I, the tell-tale arm rests upon a disk moved by centrifugal weights 5, and is mounted on a slidable base 17, which can be adjusted so that the arm drops at any desired speed, shown by a scale. The arm may in dropping complete the circuit of an electric bell by engaging a contact-piece 10 on a support. The bell circuit may also be completed before the arm drops, by a bent lever 18, pivoted to the base, so that if speed is reduced at once, the arm does not drop. The device is specially applicable to detecting attempts by drivers of heavy motor road vehicles to make up by increased speed for unwarranted delay. In another form, Fig. IV, a moving pointer 22 of a speed indicator carries a hinged arm 23 normally resting on a stop 24, adjustable on the casing against a scale. This arm drops at a predetermined speed, and may complete a circuit as before. This form may be varied by mounting the hinged arm on the casing and attaching a support for it to the pointer.

Title: An Improved Slide Crank Gear.
Inventor: NAEGELI RUDOLF
Filed: 1906-06-07
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 13,223. Naegeli, R. June 7. Crank linkages; converting rotary into reciprocating motion.-Relates to a slide-crank gear by means of which a reciprocating or oscillating member may be caused to move backwards and forwards once or twice during one rotation of the driving-element. The device is described in a form adapted to operate the batten of a wire-gauze loom. The batten l, pivoted at z or otherwise, is connected by a link i to a crank a fixed upon the shaft x. Upon the shaft x is another crank o, fixed thereto in an adjusted position by a bolt and flange. This crank is connected by a link m with a disk u which is driven by a shaft v.. As the point h rotates with the disk u, the crank o travels, in the case shown, from b to b<1> carrying the crank a from c to c<1>, and causing the batten to oscillate from y to y<o> while the crank a travels from c to c<o>, from y<o> to y<1> and back as the crank travels from c<o> to c<1> and back, and from y<o> to y as the crank returns to its starting-point upon the completion of the rotation of the disk u. The nature of the strokes imparted by the batten can be varied by adjusting the relative positions of the cranks a, o while the intermediate or second movement of the batten ceases when the cranks are arranged so that the crank a does not pass the position c‹. In this case, the extent of oscillation of the point y is maintained the same by shortening the crank a from a<1> to a<2> and lengthening the link from i<1> to i<2>. Intermediate adjustments may be obtained by means of slots. The driving-disk u &c. can be arranged in any suitable place around the shaft x. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the effective length of the crank o can be varied by altering the connexion of the link m therewith between the points b, b<1>. The member m is linked at h to an angular piece u' oscillating on the fixed pivot w<1>, and connected by an adjustable link s to the disk u. By shortening the link s, a longer dwell is obtained at each extreme of the movement of the batten l. This allows time for the movement of the shuttle. In Fig. 4, another form is shown in which the rod m is linked to an angular piece o<1>, a<1>, fixed upon an auxiliary shaft x<1> and linked by adjustable rod s to the auxiliary crank o seated upon the shaft x in the same manner as before. In both the latter cases, the body l oscillates once or twice during a revolution of the disk u according to the slide rod m is connected to the points b or b<1> respectively. The batten l may have a resilient connexion with the link i, an adjustable spring being conveniently arranged for the purpose in a slot either in the link i or in the bearing of the pin y.

Abstract: 14,261. Kalle & Co. Akt.-Ges. June 26, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyes, artificial ; o-carboxy phenylthioglycollic acid; thioindoxyl carboxylic acid.-A red colouring-matter, having probably the constitution : is prepared by heating equimolecular quantities of sodium thiosalicylate and sodium chloracetate in aqueous solution with a salt having an alkaline action, a solution of the sodium salt of o-carboxyphenylthioglycollic acid resulting. The free acid is precipated with mineral acid and is melted with caustie alkali, giving thioindoxyl carboxylic acid, which, on treatment with potassium ferricyanide in alkaline solution, gives the dye as a red precipitate. The dye is a red powder in the dry, insoluble in the usual solvents, but yielding with chloroform a red solution with a yellow fluorescence. With reducing-agents, e.g. sodium hyposulphite (hydrosulphite) in the presence of caustic soda, or sodium sulphide, it forms yellow solutions from which by contact with the air the red colouring-matter is reprecipitated. Specifications Nos. 22,736 and 23,316, A.D. 1905, are referred to.
