Title: Improvements in Generators for the Manufacture of Acetylene and other Gases.
Inventor: WATSON SAMUEL GEORGE
Filed: 1901-04-06
Granted: 1901-07-06
Abstract: 7234. Watson, S. G. April 6. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus for automatically generating acetylene and other gases. A carbide &c. chamber D is connected by a cock h' and pipe H to a tank A containing water or other liquid, and is also provided with a gas pipe b<4> delivering below an inverted tank A<1> in the tank A. A hollow cylinder B is fixed in the tank A, with its upper open end at the height of the liquid level and its lower closed end extending through the bottom as shown. An extension b<1> of the pipe b<4> passes a short distance up the cylinder B, and is provided with a cap or cover b<2> having openings b<3>. Another cover E, adapted to dip into mercury &c. supplied through a pipe m<1> to the cylinder B, is suspended by a rod e<1> from a hinged or pivoted lever F carrying a friction roller f<3>, which is automatically engaged by the tank A' to raise the cover E and open the gas outlet, or is disengaged to close the outlet. When the outlet is closed, the gas accumulating in the chamber D forces back the liquid through the pipe H, through which also any excess of gas escapes into the tank A<1>. When the outlet is closed, the chamber D can also be recharged &c. In a modification, the liquid-supply pipe is controlled by the suspended cover and mercury trap, and is arranged like the gas pipe described above, but without the perforated cover. The gas pipe then extends above the liquid level in the tank A'.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cutting out Presses.
Inventor: MORRIS FRANK BROOKS
Filed: 1901-04-16
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 7775. Morris, F. B. April 16. Cutting-machines for paper, leather, cloth, &c.- Relates to presses for cutting-out blanks for labels, envelopes, the soles, tops, lifts, stiffeners, and other parts of boots and shoes &c. The knife 7 is provided with flanges or projections by which it is held in a grooved holder 23, being retained therein by a pair of catches 48. The knife-holder, and the plunger 5 with its buffer 6, are normally held in the raised position by springs 28, 51, 52. The knife-holder may be depressed, to facilitate the adjustment of the material on the table, by cam levers 36 operated by a pedal. The same pedal is connected with the rod 15 and levers 14, 11 for moving the eccentric-rod 4 over the shallow or deep depression in the upper end of the plunger 5, according to whether or not it is desired that the plunger shall be operated. Normally the rod 4 is drawn by a spring 19 over the deep depression, so that the plunger is not actuated. The parts are so adjusted that the first effect of operating the pedal lowers the knife-holder on to the material 8 to be cut, so that the latter can be properly adjusted, and then the further movement of the pedal brings the eccentric-rod 4 over the shallow depression 10 in the end of the plunger 5, so that the latter is forced downwards through the material 8 ; 46 are guides between the knife-holder 23 and the buffer 6. The knife may be carried by the buffer 6, in which case the pedal mechanism is caused first to lower the buffer with its knife on to the material to be cut, and then to operate the eccentric-rod 4.

Title: Improvements in Feed Water Regulators, Steam Traps and High and Low Water Alarms.
Inventor: EDEN EDGAR MARK
Filed: 1901-04-27
Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 8729. Eden, E. M. April 27. Feedwater, controlling; alarms, high and low water. -A closed expansible vessel, containing a liquid and its vapour, is so arranged within a suitaole casing that it is surrounded either by steam or water according to the level of water in a boiler or receiver with which the casing is connected. The expansion and contraction of the vessel under the changes of temperature thus brought about is caused to operate a valve, by which the supply of feedwater may be regulated, either directly or by controlling the supply of steam to a feed pump or injector, or the admission of steam to sound a whistle may be controlled. According to the Provisional Specification, an electric circuit may be closed. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus adapted to serve as a feedwater regulator. The expansible vessel 1 is of the kind used in an aneroid barometer; its lower face is fixed, while the upper one is connected to the valve 7. The apparatus is connected at 11 to the boiler. When the level of water is below the line 12-12, the space 9 round the vessel 1 is filled with steam. Although condensation of this steam is effected by the circulation of feedwater through the jacket 13, the temperature is maintained by the entry of fresh steam, while the water drains back into the boiler. The pressure thus maintained in the vessel 1 keeps the valve 7 open. When, however, the water level rises above the line 12-12 the cavity 9 becomes filled with water, which, when cooled, is not so readily replaced, so that the vessel 1 is cooled and contracts, closing the valve 7. In a modification, the jacket 13 is dispensed with, and the feedwater is passed through the lower part of the space 9, entering the boiler by the same passage which admits steam. In a further modification, the expansible chamber is placed above and the valve below, the connections being so arranged that the movement of its upper face is transmitted to the valve. Fig. 4 shows another form of feed regulator, in which the expansible portion 21 of the closed vessel is removed from the main portion 1, being fitted with a diaphragm 3 attached to the valve spindle 6. The apparatus is connected to the boiler at 11 and 25. Either of the forms of feed regulator described may, by suitably arranging the valve and its connections, be adapted to serve as a high or low water alarm.

Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 15,326. Newell, F., Stanton, G. S., and Stanton, F. E. July 29. Cutting-machines for fabrics.-Relates to apparatus for cutting a tube or cylinder of fabric into a continuous spiral strip, which will thus be cut "on the bias." The tubular fabric is wound on a spool 2. carried in a rotating frame 1, and, after passing over a tension roll 3, is passed over an octagonal and cylindrical "spreader" 9, which is rotated at the same speed as the frame 1. The "spreader" consists of a block, which is preferably octagonal at one end and cylindrical at the other, and is mounted on a shaft 10 rotated uniformly with the frame 1. Surrounding the octagonal part of the block are a series of rollers 26, which press upon the block for the purpose of feeding the fabric, and are carried by a toothed ring 20, which is driven by the gearing 23, 22, uniformly with the spreader and the frame 1. For the purpose of rotating the rollers on their axles, they are connected by bevel gearing 27, 28, 30, 31 with a fixed circular rack 16. so that, as the rollers are revolved bodily about the shaft 10, they are also rotated on their axles. The tube of fabric, thus rotated and simultaneously fed forwards, is presented to a pair of rotary cutters 34, arranged at a suitable inclination to the arlvancing tube of fabric, which is thereby cut into a spiral strip and wound on to a reel 39.
