Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Stop Motions for Spinning Machines and the like.
Inventor: FRASER JAMES
Filed: 1899-03-09
Granted: 1900-06-09
Abstract: 5154. Fraser, J. March 9. Delivery, s t op - ping ; stop-motions. -The tension of the yarn Z holds in a vertical position a weighted or spring U-shaped lever A having guide-eyes at the extremities of its arms.

When the end breaks, the lever F turns so that its toothed end F<3> engages with the yarn, and, as the yarn behind the lever F becomes slack, it is pushed sideways beyond the nip of the feed-rollers as shown on the right-hand side of the Figure, and the feed of the yarn is stopped until it is again drawn into a straight line by the application of a suitable tension.
Patent GB-189907076-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cigarette Mouth-piece Making Machines.
Inventor: WHITEHORN THOMAS
Filed: 1899-04-04
Granted: 1900-03-31
Abstract: 7076. Whitehorn, T., and Brady, H. N. April 4. Paper tubes.-Relates to a machine for the manufacture of cigarette mouthpieces by rolling paper blanks on a mandrel and subsequently coating them with paraffin. Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the machine, and Fig. 2 a rear elevation. A toothed disc 2 is driven by a mutilated pinion on the main shaft 4, the disc moving intermittently through a quarter of a revolution. The disc is locked in position during the intervals by the engagement of a pin 53 on the plate 50 with one or other of the holes 54<a> in the tapered strips 54 The pin 53 is withdrawn at the proper moment by the action of the imperfectly-annular flange 46 on the roller 49. The disc 2 carries a tapered mandrel 6 with a slit for the reception of the tongue or lip of the paper blank. A pair of spring-pressed semi-cylindrical jaws 68 are adapted to close on the mandrel while the blank is being rolled, but are subsequently opened apart by the action of fixed cam surfaces 77 on arms 65, 66 projecting from a shaft 64, which terminates in an ellipticallyshaped head adapted to open the jaws 68. The shaft of the mandrel bears a pinion 7, which is caused to rotate intermittently by engagement with fixed segmental racks 11, 12 for the purpose of rolling the blanks. The blanks are carried in a holder 17 provided with a false bottom 100, which moves upwards so as to maintain the topmost blank at a constant level. A frame 23, having a horizontal limb 24 sliding in the block 25, is provided with a vertically-sliding plate 29, which supports a receptacle 30 for gum. A roller 31 is mounted in the bottom of the receptacle, and on the descent of the plate 29 it picks up the uppermost blank, and then advances with it so as to feed it to the mandrel 6. The disc 2 now moves so as to bring the mandrel to the position a, Fig. 2, the blank being rolled during its movement. While in this uppermost position the jaws 68 are open, and a pad 98 rises from a receptacle 80 containing melted paraffin, which is applied to the mouthpiece while the mandrel is rotating under the action of the toothed sector 61. The receptacle 80 is heated by a bunsen burner supplied with gas through the hollow fixed shaft 1. On the further turning of the disc 2, the finished mouthpiece is thrown off by a sleeve 72 controlled by an arm 74, and the jaws 68 again close on the mandrel. In practice, four mandrels are mounted on the disc, and paper blanks are supplied at both sides of the machine. In a modification, the receptacle 30 is mounted on an arm carried by a vertical shaft which is caused to rise and fall as well as to turn axially by means of a two-track cam. The Provisional Specification states that a draught of cool air may be employed to cause the film of paraffin on the mouthpiece to set.

Granted: 1899-07-22
Abstract: 10,087. Dover, H. W. May 12. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to gear cases for motor cycles and motor cars. Fig. 1 shows a part side elevation, and Fig. 3 a sectional end elevation on the line 3-3. A panel A of celluloid, leather, &c. is formed with a flange a, which is fixed between the inner and outer parts b<1>, b<2> of the metal rim and is secured by rivets. The rim and panel extend round the crank axle, but terminate in front of the rear axle. A rib D consisting of two semicircular wires d<1>, d<2> is fixed to the case, and serves as a guide for cutting an opening to allow the passage of the stay G. The case is supported by brackets carried by clips fixed to the stay and suitably bent to engage under the rim. The upper front bracket carries a pin engaging a hole in the rim. The rear brackets f<1>, f<2> simply bear on the rim. The case is locked in position by a detachable metal end-piece C, tongues on which engage between the two plates b<1>, b<2> of the rim and keep the latter down on the brackets.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Use in the Generation of Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: SAULE PHILIPPE CHARLES
Filed: 1899-05-24
Granted: 1899-09-30
Abstract: 10,862. Saule, P. C. May 24. Acetylene.-Apparatus for automatically regulating the supply of carbide. The gas-generating vessel is formed as a bent or inclined tube or funnel g, pivoted at x, and is supplied with carbide, in the form of balls or masses enclosed in openwork metal spherical casings, by a spiral shoot e, from which they are delivered one at a time by a fork a, b attached to the bell c. The balls &c. are normally retained by a catch l. As the fork descends, the prongs a pass behind the first ball. The rod b then depresses the catch l, allowing that ball to escape. The developed gas passes by a connecting-tube u to the gas holder, being prevented from escaping to the air by a baffle-plate m. The lower end of the generator is closed by an airtight cover o. Should gas be generated too rapidly, one or more balls may be withdrawn, by chains r connected to a rake s, through the open top.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Breaking Electric Circuits and Protecting the same from Excessive Currents.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1899-06-19
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 12,787. Thompson, W. P., [Rolfe Electric Co.]. June 19. Cut-outs. - Relates to cut-out devices for use in telephone, telegraph, and like lowtension circuits, so arranged that a considerable gap is made when the device operates, thus preventing arcing. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a plug A completes the circuit between the contacts 1, 1, and a spring C tends to withdraw it to break the circuit. The plug is released by means of a device D operated by an excess current. The construction of one form of the device is shown in Fig. 7. A resistance coil 4 is embedded in a lump of wax 3 secured to a bracket 5, and the coil has a loop 6 which is fitted on a hook 7. In case of an excess current, the wire is heated and melts the wax. In a modified form, the plug is held in position by a fusible wire. In a further modification, the plug is formed of two insulated conductors, and the springs 1, 1 are of different lengths. Figs. 6 and 8 show a double-pole cut-out and lightning-arrester. The contact-plugs 17 are connected by a bridge-piece 18, which is held down against the springs 19 by the loop 6 fitting in a wax or like button 3. The lightning-arrester comprises three carbon contacts E, E, F coated with shellac or the like and each fitted on a contact-plug, such as 17, so as to be removable.

Abstract: 19,847. Ancora, O. J. M. Oct. 3. Tyres, pneumatic ; felloes or rims. - Relates mainly to a tyre having two separately-inflated air chambers, one form being shown in section in Fig. 1. The inner corrugated periphery 14 of the-air tube 9 takes upon a similarly-shaped flap 12 of the outer cover 10, which surrounds the air tube and is connected to it at the part 11. The flap 12 lies in the flat bed of the rim 30, and is provided with edge fasteners 34, which hook over one of the enlarged edges 29 of the rim. The outer cover has lugs 25, which lie in the space 15 between the outer cover and the air tube, and the space between the lugs may be filled with woven wire 26, felt, leather, or the like to prevent puncture, The air tube is inflated through the valve 16, and the space 15 may be inflated through the valve 16<a>. Each inflating- valve comprises a stem 18 secured directly to the inflated chamber, and within the stem a spring- controlled ball 20 is pressed against a diaphragm 19 having an aperture through which the air can be forced, when the cap 17 has been removed. Slipping is prevented by providing the tread surface with projections either square or of the shape shown in Fig. 8. In modifications, the corrugations 14 may be replaced by buttons or spring clips, the air tube 9 may be expansible, in which case the inflated space 15 is dispensed with, as is shown in section in Fig. 5, and the rim 30 may be replaced by one of ordinary shape.
