Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding or Beaming Yarns.
Inventor: MCTAGGART DAVID
Filed: 1899-11-30
Granted: 1900-01-20
Abstract: 23,902. McTaggart, D. Nov. 30. Yarns, beaming.-Pressure is applied to the warp, as it is being wound upon the warp beam 1, Fig. 1, by means of a pressure-roll 23, which is carried in recesses of hooked arms 20, 21 from a rocking bar 4 mounted in adjustable supports 7 and capable of being turned uo at either end about a bolt 6. The pressure is adjusted by a pulley-block 29, which can be moved along the bar 26 by a screw, and is connected to a weight 39, Fig. 4, bv a chain 40. passing as shown round pulleys 35, 36, 41, and attached at its other end to an eye-bolt 43. The sections b, c of the chain are connected together by a short chain 46, and the pulley 41 is conneted by a chain 44 to a lever 45. When the sliding block 29 is moved forwards, the weight 39 raises the pulley 41 until the chain 46 becomes taut and causes the entire lifting- strain to be applied to the block. When it is moved backwards, it depresses the lever 45 and slackens the chain 46, so that the force of the weight is applied through the four sections a, b, c, d of the chain. If the block is moved to the further end of the bar 26, the weight tends to raise the pressure-roll off the warp. The feet of the standards 3, 8 fit into oppositely directed dovetail recesses 12, 14 in the floor-plates 10, and are drawn towards each other by a bar 17 and wedge 19, Fig. 1. The roll 23 :is made with a removable section at one end to adapt it for warp beams of different widths, and with a spring- actuated extensible section at the other end, to allow for variation in the distance between the flanges 2. In a modification, the roll is formed of a central tubular portion, with tubular end sections and a series of removable collars to correspond.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Motors.
Inventor: PIEPER OSCAR HENRY
Filed: 1901-11-02
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 22,110. Pieper, O. H., and Pieper, A. F. Nov. 2. Motors, alteonating-current; motors,controlling.- Alternating - current t motors for operating dental engines &c. are provided with field windings 3, armature coils 5, commutator 6, and brushes 8, 18, all connected in series as customary in constantcurrent motors (see Specification No. 7084, A.D. 1900). For the purpose of controlling the speed of the motor, a variable induction resistance 17, wound on a closed ring core, is connected in shunt across the armature terminals. When the whole of the inductive resistance is in circuit, the motor operates at full speed, but, by moving the switch arm 19 to the right, the speed may be reduced as desired. The field windings are designed for a relatively high self-induction or electromotive force, while the armature windings are designed for a relatively low self-induction or electromotive force.

Title: Improvements in Keyless Locks.
Inventor: FITZPATRICK HUGH DONALD
Filed: 1901-12-31
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 26,662. Fitzpatrick, H. D., [Lavery, G. L.]. Dec. 31. Locks, key; latches.-Tbe bolt, Figs. 3 and 4, of a keyless lock is preferably made in two parts, one part forming a reduced fence 6 adapted to engage slots in tumblers 3, 3<1>, 3<11> mounted in a casing 1 secured to a door or drawer. The other part 7 forms a spring- controlled latch, connected to the part 6 by a pin-and-slot connection and operated from the inside of the door by a knob 10. After the tumblers have been turned so that the slots register with the fence, the bolt can be retracted by the knob 12 on the outside of the door to unfasten the same. The bolt is returned by the spring 16. A pointer 20, which moves over a disc 18, is employed for moving the tumblers to the required position. The tumbler 3 is mounted on the polygonal end of the pointer spindle 19, and the tumblers co-operate with each other by means of pins or screws. A spring 25 on the third tumbler co-operates with the pin 24<11> of the intermediate tumbler, so that the tumblers can only be operated in one direction. A screw 22 holds the spindle 19 in place, so that it can easily be withdrawn and re-engaged in a fresh position, with the tumbler 3 to alter the combination. A spring hook-shaped arm 26 on the fence 6 is adapted to engage a pin 27 on the tumbler 3<11>. This pin has an inclined face, which allows the arm to pass into engagement with the pin, when the bolt is withdrawn, without operating the tumbler. When the bolt is released, the arm engages the pin, and rotates the tumbler, thereby carrying the slot therein out of register with the fence. The tumblers 3<1>, 3" loosely surround the spindle 19 and screw 22, and are not normally concentric therewith. By this arrangement, it is not possible to detect the combination by holding the bolt against the tumblers as they are turned to locate the slots in the same. In the modification shown in Figs. 11 and 13, the operating-knob is dispensed with, and the dial 18 has an extension 29 carrying a ccllar provided with lugs 31 to engage a frame 33 forming an extension of the bolt. Atter the pointer has been brought to position, the bolt is withdrawn by rotating the dial, which serves as a knob. When the bolt is retracted, a hooked spring 35 attached to the bolt is adapted to engage a notch in the tumbler to turn the same upon the return of the bolt. Another and preferred arrangement for displacing one of the tumblers is shown in Fig. 15. A hooked lever 39 is pivoted to the bolt, and, when the bolt is withdrawn, a cam surface 41 on the lever comes into contact with the casing, and thereby forces the end 40 of the lever into engagement with a pin 27 on the tumbler. On the return of the bolt, the tumbler is rotated, and the lever is then returned to its normal position by the engagement of the surface 42 with a projecting portion of the casing cover. The dial 18 is formed with radial points conforming in outline to the pointer, so that the latter can be set to the required permutation for unlocking in the dark.

Abstract: 5486. Gilgan, P., and Browne, F. March 5. Gas meters; signals.-The hammer F of an alarm bell D, for giving notice when the gas paid for is nearly burnt, is operated by a main spring E and normallv held out of action by a spring stoppin G. This pin is operated by a lever arm M on a rod N carried by the rod K which operates the gas valve. The spring E is wound by the mechanism which throws the alarm out of action, or by gearing, as shown, connecting it to the meter handle H. When the meter is some distance from the place where the gas is consumed, an electric bell is arranged in circuit with a battery and two terminals R, S, the terminal R being insulated and carrying a contact-piece Q, which completes the circuit through an arm P when the rod K approaches the end or its stroke.
Patent GB-190208680-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1902-04-14
Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 8680. Haddan, H. J., [Quentell, W. P.]. April 14. Type-writers.-Relates to the "actions" of type-wheel machines. The key-levers 10 are fulcrumed at 10<a> on supports 7, 8, 9, and are guided by combs 4, 5. A shaft 16 is formed in two sections connected by a frame 30. Inward extensions of the sections bear sleeves 17 from which extend arms 19 and also shorter arms which are connected by links 19<1> with universal frames or bails 18 extending across the key levers in the two halves of the keyboard. In the frame 30 are journalled two shafts 27, 28 at an angle to one another. On the shaft 27 is mounted a sleeve 29, which drives the type-wheel 1 by means of a disc 48 and pin 26. The tubular shaft 28 carries a disc 21, Fig. 4, provided with shoulders 20 adapted to be engaged by the arms 19. From the shaft 28 also extends an arm 23, which terminates in a segmental rack 24 which meshes with the pinion 25 on the sleeve 29. When a key lever is depressed, one of the links 19<1> is drawn down and the corresponding arm 19 brought against the shoulder 20, so as to rotate the disc 21, rack 24, pinion 25, and type-wheel 1. At the same time, a bevel pinion 37 on the sleeve 29 causes the rotation of a segment 36 and stop arms 39. One of the stop arms ultimately comes in contact with the spring- controlled pin 18<1> which has been projected by the rear end of the depressed key lever, and thus arrests the rotary movement of the type-wheel 1 and disc 21. The continued pressure of the arm 19 on the shoulder 20 then causes the whole frame 30, together with the shafts 27, 28, to swing downwards against the controlling tension of the spring 38, until the type-wheel strikes the platen 2 and makes the impression. The type-wheel is accurately positioned, just before the impression is made, by the engagement of the toothed disc 48 with a fixed arm or horn 48<1>. Extending downwards from the frame 30 is an arm 44 bent on itself to form a locking-recess in which engages a bail 43 which is lifted when a key lever is depressed. The carriage feed is effected by means of a universal bar 50<a>, lever 50, dogs 46, and rack 47. The shaft 27 is shifted longitudinally for change of case by means of a lever arm 55, which can be rccked rearwardly by suitable shiftkeys. In order to prevent re-bound of the arms 39 from the stop pins 18<1>, the arms may be bevelled or inclined so as to ride up on the projected pin until it enters an aperture in the arm, which is then locked. In a further modification, the pins have yielding sections which enable them to snap into the apertures in the arms 39.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Tires and Methods of Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: BLODGETT JOHN WESLEY
Filed: 1902-06-03
Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 12,675. Blodgett, J. W. June 3. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to single tube tyres having an embedded tube of knitted or other fabric. The form shown in the process of manufacture in Fig. 1 is produced by placing a tube d of knitted fabric around a tube c of raw rubber laid upon a cylindrical mandrel a, a tube b of vulcanized rubber being preferably interposed between the mandrel and the tube c. The fabric is made to adhere to the raw rubber, either by softening the rubber with naphtha or the like or by passing the tyre on the mandrel between steam-heated rollers. After removal from the mandrel, the ends of the rubber are joined to form an airtight endless tube, an inflating-valve is secured so as to project between the meshes of the fabric, and the ends of the fabric are connected together either by sewing or crocheting or by luoping a thread e from one end to the other. The rubber is further softened, and the tyre is inflated to a high pressure within a mould or upon the rim, to force the rubber through the meshes of the fabric, and the tyre is finally vulcanized, with or without additional external layers of rubber solutioned on.
