Title: Improvements in Methods of Producing Vessels or Cases with Thin Tapering Sides, and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: MAUSER ALFONS
Filed: 1902-09-29
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 21,180. Mauser, A. Sept. 29. Corrugating.- Vessels, casks, baskets, or cases with thin tapering sides, for carboys, bottles of acids, &c., are formed from thin sheet iron, aluminium, or the like by means of apparatus such as is shown in Figs. 10 and 13. The body 1 is first made into a cylindrical form, as shown in Fig. 2, and it is then tapered at one end by means of corrugations 2, Fig. 3, or, in the case of casks, at both ends, the corrugations serving also to strengthen the vessel, and thus permitting thin, metal to be used in its construction. To corrugate the cylinder, it is placed on a core 3, Fig. 10, which is adapted to be raised by rotating a threaded spindle 14, which is effected, through gearing 15, 16, by rotating a hand-wheel 17. Movably mounted in slots 8 in a frame 9 attached to the core are levers 6 corresponding in number to grooves in the core. When the core is lifted, the levers, which terminate in rollers 7, are guided towards the core by a conical cover 11, as shown in dotted lines, and thus the corrugations are formed. The corrugations, instead of being formed simultaneously, may be formed in succession. They may be also formed by sliding the ends of the levers over the cylinder and core, an arrangement for effecting this being shown in Fig. 13. The core 3 is mounted horizontally on the carriage 19, which is brought into position by a screw 36. The operating-arms 20, terminating in rollers 21, are pivoted to a disc 24, which is moved to and from the core by a screw 33, actuated by a hand-wheel or nut 34. The levers are guided in effecting the corrugations by a ring 25 provided with ball bearings. When the operation is completed, the arms are again brought into the original expanded position by links 29 connected thereto and to a disc 30 on a rod 31 within the hollow screw shaft 33, the rod having a handle 32 for being pushed inwards. In making casks, the core is in sections to facilitate removal.

Title: An Improved Method of Increasing the Discharge Energy of Electrical Vibration Systems.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1904-03-01
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 5104. Thompson, W. P., [Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraphie]. March 1. Telegraphs.-Re lates to transmitting - devices for wireless telegraphy, wherein the discharge energy of electric vibrating systems is increased, while retaining a given wave - length, by arranging a number of spark gaps in series, the spark gaps being connected with capacities or other electric means for distributing potential in such a way that each separate gap has conveyed to it the potential which corresponds with the resistance over which the sparks are to spring. Each open or closed vibration circuit is fed with the same energy from a source of high potential. In Fig. 5, A represents the aÙrial conductor, C', C<2>, C<3> separate condensers, f<1>, f<2>, f<3> separate spark gaps, L', L<2>, L<3>, L<4>, L<5>, L<6> coils, and E the earth. In this case, the aerial conductor and the earth are inductively coupled to the closed vibration circuit. The separate systems must be such that each separate circuit, for instance the circuit C<1>, L<1>, f<1>, when discharged through a short-circuit yoke k, yields the desired wave-length. In Fig. 6, the three coils L', L<2>, L<3> of Fig. 5 are shown combined into one coil L. Fig. 7 represents an open (socalled Hertzian) vibration system, with three sparking gaps f<1>, f<2>, f<3> connected in parallel with three condensers c<1>. c<2>, c<3> of small capacity. These condensers may be switched on in parallel by means of wires of high resistance or high self-induction. In Fig. 8, the aÙrial conductor A and earth E are shown inductively connected by coils L to a closed system containing condensers C<1>, C', C<3> and spark gaps f<1>, f<2>, f<3> in series, together with small condensers c<1>, c<2>, c<3> in parallel with the spark gaps.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Spinning and Twisting Yarn
Inventor: FOULDS ALFRED JOHN
Filed: 1904-07-19
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 16,003. Foulds, A. J., and Foulds, H. A. July 19. Spindle apparatus; combined drawing and twisting arrangements; doffing-arrangements ; flyer frames. -The object is to provide a machine by which yarn may be spun and wound into finished cops ready for the shuttle at one operation, thereby obviating the trouble and expense of re-winding. The slubbing 47 is fed from the spool 38 by the drum 39, and passed through rollers 40, 41 to the twisting and winding apparatus. This consists of a rotating shell 17, driven by a belt &c., and carrying at its lower end a slit cone 24 within which the cop is wound upon a spindle 23. Within the shell is a spur-wheel 19 gearing with a spurwheel 21 on the upper end of the spindle, which is driven independently of the shell through the cone drums 35, 37. The material passes through the shell, through a guide on the outside of the cone 24, and through a traversing guide 26 to the slit in the cone, the guide 26 being traversed as shown by a crank-pin 31 on the wheel 19, and held during the traverse in proper position with relation to the slit by a link 42. The rate of winding and the speed of the traverse are both regulated, therefore, by the relative speeds of the shell and the spindle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the yarn is wound on the short portion 23 of the spindle, and, as the cop increases in length, it is gradually forced downwards on to the portion x thereof, which is from ten to twenty inches long and is secured at its lower end by a latch bolt 33 in a socket-piece 34. When the cop is completely wound, it is drawn downwards on to the portion x of the spindle, which is disengaged from its socket at the lower end for the purpose of removing the cop. In a modification, the shell 17 is mounted in ball bearings, and the spindle is mounted to slide in rocking bearings and is pressed upwards by weighted cords, so that, as the cop is built up, the spindle is forced downwards out of the cone 24, and, when the cop is completely wound, the spindle may be swung forwards to facilitate doffing.
