Title: A System of Devices for Giving Warning of Heating in Engine Bearings and the like
Inventor: THRELFALL RICHARD
Filed: 1901-12-27
Granted: 1902-10-02
Abstract: 26,401. Threlfall, R. Dec. 27. Crosshead guides; stop gear.-Relates to devices for giving warning of the heating of engine &c. bearings and guides. Fig. 1 shows the application to a crank-shaft bearing. A hole A is drilled through the cap and brass, and terminates near the bearing-surfaces at the point of maximum pressure. The signalling-mechanism consists of a steel tube E, Figs. 1 and 2, secured to a cylindrical head G, which screws into the cap C. A rod H extends through the tube E, and is connected to a guide I sliding in the head G and pressed outwards by a spring L. Fusible metal M is placed in the end of the tube E, which is closed by a plug. The metal is melted, and the rod H is forced down into it against the tension of the spring, and may be retained by a pin placed through a hole N. The metal is solidified by plunging the tube in cold water, and the rod H is gripped by the metal. The inner surface of the tube and the end of the rod are undercut or roughened to enable the metal to make secure contact. The tube &c. are inserted in the brass B. Should the temperature rise sufficiently high to melt the fusible metal, the rod H is released and the end J of the guide I is forced outwards and serves to close an electric current by pressing the spring-supported contact-piece S against the contact piece 0. The contact-pieces are mounted on a crosshead secured by rods to a clip R on the head. The closure of the circuit may be employed to sound a bell, light a lamp, or bring an electromagnet into action to close a valve and cut off the steam supply to the engine. A suitable fusible alloy consists of bismuth, lead, tin, and cadmium, to which mercury is added. According to the Provisional Specification, mechanism of the selfsetting type, as described in Specification No. 5079, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Cooking &c.], may be employed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Mechanically Changing Shuttles in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SMITH ALFRED
Filed: 1902-02-01
Granted: 1903-01-01
Abstract: 2622. Smith, A., Jackson, S., and Hudson, C. Feb. 1. L o o m shuttlechanging mechanism ; stop - motions. -The feeler 13 is connected to an arm 8 secured to a shaft 5 mounted upon a frame 1 having studs 4, 4<a> serving as guides for a slotted sliding plate 6. This plate is actuated by means of a rod 18 connected at one end to the loom frame 20 and at the other end to the plate. A cam-like portion 21 of the plate 6 engages with a finger 7 fixed to the shaft 5, and rocks the shaft, which is encircled by a coiled spring 12 connecting the finger 7 to a sleeve 9 loosely mounted on the shaft. By this means, the shaft 5 and the sleeve 9 are oscillated during the beat-up and return stroke of the lay 16. The sleeve 9 carries a finger 10 connected by a rod 23 and arm 24 to a shaft 25 carrying a finger 26, which normally strikes a supplementary weft fork 27 and raises it out of engagement with the weftfork hammer 28. An arm 11 is attached to the sleeve 9 and, as long as there is sufficient weft on the bobbin b, the arm strikes a plate on the feeler 13, at every alternate beat-up, and the finger 26 consequently forces the fork 27 into its inoperative position. In a modification, the feeler slides through an aperture in the front of the shuttle, and the finger corresponding to the finger 26 is mounted on the shaft carrying an arm which performs the same function as the arm 11 ; the finger acts directly upon the hooked end of the supplementary weft fork. When the weft is substantially exhausted, the weft fork is engaged by the hammer, and the primary parts of the loom are stopped and the shuttle-changing mechanism actuated.

Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 26,330. Gore, H. R., and Frazer, W. S. W. Dec. 2. Solids, treating with gases.-In apparatus for use in cooling, heating, or otherwise treating goods in a closed chamber, means are provided for minimizing the escape or entrance of beat,vapour,or the like during the insertion or withdrawal of the goods. The goods are contained in cars or carriers, which are attached to endless chains or between wheels, so as to circulate within the chamber in an endless series. When the door of the chamber is opened, shutters cut off connection between the interior of the car and the chamber. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of apparatus in which a car C fitted with trays is arrested opposite a door B in the side wall of the chamber. The cars, which are open at the top, bottom, and front, are attached to cross-bars D, which connect a pair of endless chains and rest on rails F. To a cross-bar, situated centrally above the doorway, is hinged a pair of shutters H which are connected to the door B so as to descend and engage with the sides of the car when the door opens. Another shutter J, hinged below the door, is connected to the shutters H by a cord passing over guidepulleys so as to rise and close the bottom of the car when the shutters H fall. The sides of the car have perforations, which are masked by a pivoted lever M when the shutter J is raised. The lever M is so weighted that, when the shutter J is lowered, the lever uncovers the perforations. The shutters H may be connected by cords passing over guide-pulleys to a bolt K<1>, so as to be held in the raised position when the door is shut. On opening the door, the bolt is released and the shutters H fall. The doorway may also be surrounded by fixed or hinged wings I. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the sides of the cars are slotted and provided with a slotted frame N which may be raised by the shutter J so as to close the slots in the side of the cars. The hinged wings P on opening the door, may be forced against the sides of the car either by cam-shaped wedges Q on the lower shatter J, or by cords connected to the shutters H, which are here shown connected directly to the door. Fig. 6 shows another form of apparatus in which cars held between two wheels T are charged through a door in the end wall of the outer casing. Two hinged shutters S, J, one above and the other below the door, are connected together and to the door, so that, on opening the door, the shutters close the top and bottom of the cars. The slotted sides of the car are closed as before, by a frame N actuated by the lower shutter. On closing the door, the heavier lower shutter J falls, raising the upper shutter. Wings I, actuated in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 4, may also be provided.
