Title: Improvements in Brakes for Bicyles.
Inventor: EDWARDS EDMUND
Filed: 1903-12-11
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 27,164. Edwards, E., [West, W. W., and Gilbert, H.]. Dec. 11. Brakes ; bicycles.-In a backpedalling brake for bicycles, levers L, G are fixed to a horizontal spindle K, which is capable of rotating in bearings N carried by the crank bracket. The lever L is connected by an adjustable forked rod 0 to brake blocks M of the usual kind. Two parallel cams A, kept apart by shouldered pins B, C, are pivoted at C to an arm F carried by the lever G. The rotation of the cams is limited to the small arc of recess in them, by a pin on the arm F. The cams normally rest against the circular part E on each side of the sprocket-wheel H, but on back-pedalling, they are rotated into the position shown in Fig. 1, and the pin B is operated by the wheel to rotate the spindle K through the lever G, and so apply the brake blocks to the rim.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for "Setting" the Lids on Boxes for Holding Preserves, and the like
Inventor: ASCHE OTTO
Filed: 1904-07-12
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 15,506. Asche, O. July 12. Metal, sheet, beading, moulding, and joining.- The lids of boxes and like metallic receptacles, of rectangular, oval, or other shape, for holding preserves '&c., are secured in place by pressing and milling, or by pressing alone. Fig. 4 shows a section through the parts for interfolding the edges, and Fig. 23 the milling-mechanism in operation. The machine for interfolding the edges comprises two concentric formers p, q, which are moved vertically by cams keyed on a shaft driving a horizontal circular table carrying superposed rails which govern the radial movements of the clamps a, b, c. The box B, with its cover C upon it, having been placed upon a central spring plate, the former q descends and enters the recess in the cover C ; the clamps a, b, c advance, turning in the lower edge of the cover beneath the projecting flange of the box ; the former p descends, pressing the parts together, and then rises a little until the clamps a, b retire, when it again descends, turning the interlocked parts of the cover and box flange down on the inclined face of the clamp c. The covered box is then removed and the joint secured by milling, or, for some purposes, the formerp is raised until the clamp c has retired, when the former again descends, forcing the interlocked parts against the sides of the box. The milling-apparatus comprises two vertical shafts V, V<1>, which carry milling- wheels and are always connected by toothed wheels fixed to their upper ends. The shaft V is pivoted and is forced against spring pressure towards the shaft V<1> by means of the rotary cam J. At the end of the milling operation, the indented part of the cam J comes opposite the roll I and the shaft V is swung outwards. The box is carried on a table Q, which is raised or lowered by operating a handle. A ring X may be placed in the-cavity of the lid.

Abstract: 2773. Dodd, E. H. Feb. io. Blind -stitching machines; feed; work-supports. - Relates to improvements in blindstitching machines in which the work is bent round the cloth-plate K in the plane of the needle. The upper feedroller B is mounted in spring trunnions C on the underside of the table, and is driven positively from the lower roller shaft D' by spur-gearing F, G through a swivel link I. The clothplate K may be adjusted to and from the needle by an eccentric. The eccentric is integral with a worm-wheel and can be rotated by a milled-headed screw P which gears with the worm-wheel. Slidingly mounted in the workplate are cloth and needle retarders h, g. These are pressed towards the work by springs k, l, adjustable by screws i, j. The lower or needle retarder g is provided with a roller m mounted in a spring frame swivelling on a pin o. By it the needle is properly positioned for the loop-taker and is prevented from blunting or breaking. The cloth retarder h has a pivoted guide which bears upon the cloth and holds it in position. It can be withdrawn by an eccentric-stud t pivoted on the slide and bearing against a pin s. Needle-bars, vibrating laterally; needles.-The needle-gate is vibrated from a quadrant a by a rod b. The amount of vibration can be varied by means of the screw d and block e. The needle is bevelled on the side away from the work only, and the groove on that side is very short, as shown in Fig. 5. Presser -feet. - The presser-bar carries two presser-feet v<1> which are pivoted to a yoke w pivoted to the pressure bar. The feet are held in position by springs w<1> and are guided by a yoke v<3>.

Abstract: 4370. Carter, M. J. D. March 2. Stencils.-Stencil sheets of waxed paper for use in typewriters, with a backing-sheet and a thin front protecting-sheet, are impregnated with wax coloured with an oil ink or other colouring-matter, so that impressions or proofs of the matter typed on the stencil are made on the backing-sheet and on the thin protecting-sheet, through which latter the matter is visible. If desired, one proof may be taken on a sheet of paper placed between the stencil and backing sheets, instead of on the backing-sheet itself. The Provisional Specification refers to Specification No. 21,741, A.D. 1901, and also states that the sheets may be used with an ordinary hand stylus.
Patent GB-190507791-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or in connection with Doors or Lids of Gas Retorts and the like.
Filed: 1905-04-12
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 7791. Dempster & Sons, R., and Toogood, H. J. April 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Gas retorts are provided with sliding lids, and when the retorts are set close together the mouthpieces are arranged to prevent the lids from fouling each other or the adjacent mouthpieces on opening. The lid a is carried by a cross-bar b, supported by rails d, k, rollers c being provided at the top and if desired at the bottom. The lid is tightened against the mouthpiece e by means of a screw f, or in some cases eccentrics or cams may be used. A plate p, secured to the lid a by studs passing through slots and provided with a groove which fits over the neck of the screw f, is held by a pin s passing through the cross-bar b. When the pin s is withdrawn, the plate p may be raised and the cross-bar b detached from the lid. If desired, the cross-bar and lid may be lifted bodily from the mouthpiece. A tar guard may be attached to the cross-bar b or the rail d to prevent tar from dropping from the upper retorts on to the lids of the lower, or the tar guard may be attached to the bottom of the mouthpiece e, as shown in Fig. 3. When the retorts are set close together, the mouthpieces are formed at an angle to the front of the bench, as shown in Fig. 9, or the mouthpieces may project different distances as in Fig. 10, so that the lids are not obstructed during opening. The invention enables the stoking-machines to be brought closer to the retorts than is possible with hinged lids, and the lids may be opened with the charging-machines in position.
