Title: Improvements in and relating to Corks, Bungs, and the like.
Inventor: BAUER CHARLES
Filed: 1897-03-17
Granted: 1898-03-12
Abstract: 7029. Bauer, C. March 17. Corks; stoppers; cork, treating.-Relates to corks, bungs, &c. for bottles or other vessels containing acids, alkalies, or other corrosive liquids or substances. The corks or bungs, instead of being entirely coated with india-rubber &c., are only coated at their inner ends, either by dipping the ends in a solution, or by attaching a disc or cap of india-rubber &c. to the end by means of cement. The outer end may also be similarly coated, the middle portion being left plain. In dipping the corks, the ends are immersed to a suitable depth in the solution, and, after withdrawal, the ends are scraped on the edge of the dipping-vessel to remove the solution from them, while the solution on the sides is allowed to dry. When the sides are properly coated, the ends are again dipped. By this method, a thicker coating is obtained around the lower edge. The Provisional Specification also states that the corks &c. may be wholly or partly coloured, by dipping them in a suitable pigment before they are coated.

Filed: 1897-10-02
Granted: 1897-12-04
Abstract: 22,625. Voelker, W. L. Oct. 2. Incandescent gas &c. lamps.-Relates to means for producing an intimate mixture of the oxides of calcium and magnesium used in the manufacture of mantles. Equal parts by weight of the oxides, after being ground to the finest powder, are dissolved in nitric or equivalent acid, to which a trace of chromic acid may be added if it is desired to give a ruddy tinge to the light, and the solution is evaporated until the residue possesses a wax-like consistency. The mass, after being maintained for some time at a red heat in a magnesium or calcium crucible, is fused in an electrical or other furnace, and, when cooled, is ground up and treated to form filaments which can be spun into a thread for knitting the mantles.

Title: Improvements connected with Steam Boiler Furnaces for the Consumption of Smoke.
Inventor: COULTHURST ALAMETH
Filed: 1897-11-17
Granted: 1898-10-15
Abstract: 26,848. Coulthurst, A. Nov. 17. Smoke-consuming.-Air is admitted to a steamboiler furnace above the fire by means of valves in the dead-plate opened by the movement of the firedoor. These valves are allowed to close gradually, the time occupied in closing them being regulated by means of a dash-pot or " air-pump." The dead-plate itself may be made to open to produce the same result. In the arrangement shown, two valves, one of which is shown at g<1>, are fitted at either side of the dead-plate so as to admit air to a perforated arch-shaped chamber h<2>, surrounding the firehole. The upper part of Fig. 2 shows a central section, while the lower part shows a section taken at one side. A crank c on the axis of the fire-door engages a slot in a lever e<1>, and opens the valves. When the door is closed the crank-pin moves idly in the slot, and the valves remain open until closed by the weight of the lever l<1> together with that of the piston of the dash-pot k. The valve m of the dash-pot allows air to escape freely during the ascent of the piston, but permits only a gradual return during the descent.

Abstract: 10,810. Bradford, E. S. May 23. Printing from engraved plates.-Relates to wiping and polishing devices for plate printing - presses. Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of the machine, of which A is the impression cylinder and B the printing - cylinder, carrying the engraved plate B'. The plate is inked by rollers a, b of an inking-apparatus such as is described in Specification No. 10,811, A.D. 1899, and is then wiped by the apparatus D. The wiping-apron e is wound on two spools e, and passes over the rollers e<1>, e<3> and round a guide-roller e<2>. The rollers e', e<3> are carried by rods e<4> pressed outwardly from sleeves e<5> by springs e<6>, and adjusted, to properly position the rollers e<1>, e<3>, by nuts e<7>. A tension is put on the shafts d<1> of the spools, by pins d<3> pressed by springs d<4>. The winding-spool shaft is driven by a ratchet e<8>, e<9>, e<10> operated by the rod f and crank arm f<1>. The plate is polished by the polishing-device H. This consists of an apron h<14> passing over a polisher head h<3> fixed on the end of a shaft h<2> mounted to slide in and revolve with a sleeve journalled in a bracket h<5> adjustably mounted on a block fixed adjustably by bolts h<7> in slotted brackets i at each side of the machine frame, so that the face of the polisher h<3> can be adjusted with relation to the surface to be operated upon. The shaft h<2> and head h<3> are pressed towards the plate B' by a spring and are adjusted in position by a lever h<8> pivoted at h<9> and operated by a screw h<11>, h<12>. The shaft h' is rotated by bevel gears h, g<8> from a shaft g<7> rotated from a shaft g by gearing g<1>, g<4>, g<5>, &c.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Drawing-in the warp Threads in Looms.
Inventor: INGERSOLL RICHMOND HAYWOOD
Filed: 1899-06-16
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 12,590. Ingersoll, R. H. June 16. Loom healds, threading; r e e d s, drawing warp threads through.-Relates to machines of the class described in Specifications No. 17,997, A.D. 1891, and No. 3027, A.D. 1892, in which the warp threads e are clamped in a frame and are threaded one by one through the healds H, I and the reed K by a reciprocating hooked needle L, the threading-devices being mounted upon a traversing carriage. In this case the warp.holding frame, Fig. 26, consisting of three sets of clamping-devices 150, 151; 152, 155; and 157, 158 respectively, is mounted by rods 166 upon a rock-shaft 163 in a swinging frame Q<1> in such a way that it can be moved into the position shown by dotted lines and its inclination adjusted by a lever 167. The warp threads pass over a separating-comb Q, composed of a series of thin plates and capable of being withdrawn within the flanges of the bar P, and are straightened by a bar 176 and clamp 178 upon a shaft 175, which can be rotated to the required extent by a hand-wheel. Two oscillating hooks co-operate to supply the warp threads to the hooked needle L. The heald cords of each heald are separated by means of an oscillating arm W, Fig. 8, which is carried upon and rocked by a shaft V, and a rod 57, which has a conical end 58 and is carried by the sleeve 54 of the arm W. The arm W works in forked slides q, q<1>, which are reciprocated in guides 82 in platforms S, S<1> by levers 83 and cams 87. Wedge-shaped slides A', engaging with each other as a tongue and mortise, force the heald cords forward into position between the eye-holding jaws m, k on the platforms S, S', in which position they are held by sliding fingers v, which are pivoted to move laterally against spring pressure and are coupled to other fingers b<1>. The fingers b<1> have an inclined front edge finally to force the cords past the spring fingers v and eject them from the jaws m, k, as shown in Fig. 8.
