Title: Improved Process for Insulating Electrical Conductors.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
Filed: 1904-01-12
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 758. Heys, W. G., [Ammon, W. E.]. Jan. 12. Conductors, insulating.-Flat or ribbon wire is insulated by the longitudinal application of an envelope of paper or other suitable fabric, such insulated ribbon being adapted for winding directly into electrical coils in which the convolutions hold the folded paper on the wire. A strip of paper x, about twice the width of the wire, passes from a reel between the pressure rolls a, Fig. 1, the upper one having a smooth periphery with guiding- flanges a<1>, while the lower has two annular V- shaped ridges, which score the strip along the lines on which it is bent or folded round the ribbon. The strip then passes through the passage-way formed by the two parts e', e<2>, the edges being gradually turned over until nearly folded in, as shown in Fig. 2. After being pressed close by the rolls, the envelope passes over a table f where the edges are lifted up at right-angles to the body portion by the wedge-shaped nose f<1>. In this condition, which is maintained by a similar but reversed nose f<2>, the strip passes under the guide-roll c round which the flat wire y, travelling at the same rate as the strip, is led to the opened strip. The edges of the strip are pressed flat on to the ribbon by the pressure rolls d, immediately on leaving the table f and nose f<2>. The insulated wire is then coiled on to the receiving-spool g. The wire may be inserted in the paper at the time of folding it into an envelope.

Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 6634. Farmer, J. T. March 23, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Regenerative steam-generator &c. furnaces.-The regenerators L, M, situated beyond the uptake K of the tubular boiler shown partly in plan in Fig. 1, are filled with a mass of thin wires 11, Figs. 8 and 9, made in lengths and bent double in the centre. These lengths hang loosely with the bends in grooves 13 cut obliquely in the bearers 12. The valves at both ends of the regenerators are operated automatically by a weighted lever h, Fig. 4, pivoted at j and rocked to and fro by a continuously-driven rod l. The end of this rod is slotted as shown to permit the lever h to fall by gravity after it passes the highest position. Slots are also provided in the ends of the rods q, n of the dampers to allow of an interval of time between the reversals. Passages c, d in the setting convey the heated air to the ashpit. Any dust &c. accumulating on the wires is removed by steam from the perforated pipes 14. A soot pan is arranged beneath the regenerators. In some cases, more than one pair of regenerators can be employed.

Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 7921. Davies, G., [Charnock, H. H.]. April 6. Mules.-To effect the lubrication of mule spindles and to prevent the escape of oil, the spindles revolve in an oil reservoir made in sections, each of which receives a number of spindles. The sections are made in a single piece of cast or malleable iron, brass, or other metal, and consist of a number of tubes f, Figs. 1 and 2, connected by cross-tubes h and a longitudinal channel d, through which the oil circulates. The sections are connected together to extend throughout the length of the carriage frame, and a spindle a revolves in each tube f, bolsters g screwed or otherwise secured into the top of the tubes forming an upper bearing, and recesses e in the bottom of the channel d forming a lower bearing. A sleeve b carrying the wharl is fixed to each spindle and takes over the top of the tube f. Oil is supplied through a tube i, and allowed to escape through an opening closed by a screw k. Slotted lugs j, which, like the tube i, are formed in one piece with the sections, are provided for securing the sections to the frame. Separate footsteps e screwed into the bottom of the channel d may be employed, or the lower ends of the spindles may revolve in long perforated sleeves fitting into the tubes f.

Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 18,386. Simpson, W. M. Aug. 24. Gas and vapour burners.-Relates to oil, spirit, or gas heating-lamps and furnaces, and principally to burners for them. Fig. 1 shows an annular burner consisting of a trough-like chamber, in the upper part of which is supported by pins a, alternate plain and corrugated metal plates forming passages for the mixture of air and gas or vapour and for preventing lighting-back. The passages b may be otherwise formed, for instance, by a wire b<2>, Fig. 11, wound on a strip b<1>, which is then placed in the trough. The mixing-chamber is fitted with vertical baffles arranged alternately on its inner and outer walls, and with a plate F, Fig. 1, the upper edge f of which is turned over and serrated. The flame-forming parts of circular and rectangular burners may be constructed similarly, and a burner with a row of such jets is shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the air inlet d being fitted with a wire-gauze guard e, which may consist of a box or casing with a wire-gauze end. The burner shown in Fig. 9 is particularly adapted for Serpollet steam generators ; it consists of a closed vessel with burner jets b<3>, similar to those described, passing through a shield Z, preferably covered with asbestos, for keeping cool the chamber A, and for forming a closed forced-draught firebox. When burning paraffin or other heavy oil, the vaporizing-tubes C are initially heated by petrol or other light spirit supplied by an auxiliary reservoir Y, Fig. 10, attached to the oil reservoir X, and connected to the oil-supply pipe x and the compressed-air supply pipe x<1>. When the vaporizer is sufficiently hot, the reservoir Y is isolated by the cock y', and the air and oil supply valves x', x<3> are opened to begin the ordinary working.

Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 24,847. Gilbert, G., and Mushing, E. Nov. 16. Motor cycles ; driving-mechanism ; axles, supporting.- Relates to a twospeedepicyclic toothed gearing applied to the crank brackets of cycles, motor cycles, motor cars, and the like. The chain-wheel A is mounted in ball bearings B, C between the bracket on the right and a disc D on the left mounted on the crank spindle E. The spindle E is supported by the bearing C and by an adjustable bearing on the right of the bracket. Planet-pinions F pivoted on pins A<1> on the wheel A are constantly in mesh with an internally-toothed ring D<1> on the disc D and with a sun-pinion G sliding and rotating upon the spindle E. The pinion G may be moved so as to engage also with either a ring of teeth H on the disc D or a similar ring J on the bracket. The pinion G is for this purpose provided with a sleevelike extension G<1> with flanges G<2> engaging a lever K operating against the action of a spring L. The spring L normally keeps the pinion G in mesh with the ring of teeth H, when the gear rotates as a whole, giving the high speed. By means of the lever K, the pinions G may be moved to engage the fixed ring of teeth J, when the pinions F roll round on the pinion G, and the low speed is imparted to the wheel A.

Several shades may be suspended one below the other from the same pivot, the supporting rod in this case having several joints. The lamp support and shade support may be formed in one, or secured to one stand. The upper part of the case may be fitted with a partition, which is perforated to receive the fan and serves to direct the air currents through the fan. Exposed signs, such as that shown in Fig. 7, may be fitted with an enclosing cylinder i extending from the fan down to the shade c. The lamp d may be fitted with a shield h, Fig. 7, of iron or other suitable material, and slit radially into sections, vanes, or wings, which may be enamelled or otherwise blackened to absorb and radiate heat. This device is stated to strengthen the upward current of air. Reference is made in the Provisional Specification to Specification No. 5278, A.D. 1904.
