Patent GB-190424514-A (GB)
Title: Improved Gearing for Automatically Opening and Closing the Gates of Hoists and Lifts.
Inventor: STEVEN JOHN ALEXANDER
Filed: 1904-11-12
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 24,514. Steven, J. A. Nov. 12. Lifts. - Comprises means for automatically opening and closing the well doors of hoists and lifts by the motion of the cage. Figs. 1 and 2 show the general arrangement of the apparatus, with the well door connected by a rope or chain b passing over pulleys c, d, e to a balance weight f, which slides on the guide g and is sufficiently heavy normally to maintain the door in a raised position. A lighter weight i sliding on a separate guide h is provided with a pivoted projecting catch j pressed against the guide at the rear by a spring, and is connected also to a still lighter weight o on the guide g by means of a cord or chain m which passes over the pulley n and then passes freely through the main balance weight and the tensioning-springs z<1> to the weight o. While the cage is ascending, the pivoted bell crank k on the cage, which is normally kept with one arm in a horizontal position by means of a spring, engages the projecting catch and raises the weight i until the recess g<1> in the guide is reached. The spring then draws the catch into the recess and releases the weight which, in falling, raises the weight o and causesit to impin ge against the balance weight f and raise the latter, with the result that the gate is lowered. On descending, the projections j, k slide over one another, and an inverted projection p on the weight o is engaged by the projection q on the cage. The weight o is consequently lowered from engagement with the balance weight f, leaving the latter free to draw up the door again. When the recess g<2> in the guide is reached, the weight o is liberated and the door thereby closed again. The projections on the cage are connected by levers w, w<1>, w<2>, w<3> to a handle x so that the gear may be thrown out of action. Buffer springs z are provided on the weights and projecting brackets of the cage to lessen the concussion ; also, other forms of engaging mechanism may be used. The mechanism may be arranged to operate a horizontally-sliding gate.

Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 2272. Whiteley, J. B. Feb. 6. Winding - machines.-A s top - motion, specially applicable for splitdrum winders, in which two or more threads are wound simultaneously on to the same cheese c, is constructed with a lever m mounted on a pivot n and engaging at its upper end with a movable stripper plate k, and by a pin p at the lower end with an L- shaped slot in a movable lever d carrying a detector wire e for each thread. When a thread breaks, the corresponding wire e falls, and a rotating wiper g acts against it to move back the lever d and consequently advance the plate k to stop the winding. The cradle h can then be lifted, by means of a handle t, to engage a notched rod v which supports it during piecing. This movement of the cradle acts through a rod s to lift the lever d so that the lever m can be moved, by a knob w, back to its normal position owing to the pin p entering the horizontal slot. To restart, the cradle is lowered and the lever d drawn forward by a 'knob x.
Patent GB-190502611-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Gloves.
Inventor: RICHARDSON JAMES
Filed: 1905-02-09
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 2611. Richardson, J., and Marr, A. Feb. 9. Gloves; glove trees.-Relates to waterproof gloves for domestic use made from two hand-shaped pieces which may be provided with long and enlarged wrist-pieces. One method of manufacture is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The two pieces A, B are cut from thin fabric coated with unvulcanized rubber, and are placed with the rubbered sides inwards. A hand shaped piece C of paper of smaller size is placed between the two pieces and pressure applied, when the edges of the fabric will stick together as shown in Fig. 3. After vulcanization, the tree C is withdrawn and the glove turned inside out. Powdered soap, stone, or the equivalent may be used instead of the paper tree. Alternatively, the glove is made by placing the pieces with the waterproof sides outwards and by turning the edges inwards as shown in Fig. 4 and pressing them together as before. No tree is then required. In the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the pieces are secured together by rubber strips D, D<1> ; the Figures showing the positions before and after adhesion respectively. Fabric coated on both sides may be used, if desired. Instead of a flat tree, a hand-shaped tree may be used in-conjunction with external moulds with cutting-edges. The tree may be hollow for the admission of steam during the operation of vulcanizing. A special tree may be used for turning inside out the gloves made by the first method. This tree is hollow, and apertures are made at the finger tips. The interior of the tree is partially exhausted, causing the tips of the glove to adhere to the tree so that the glove is readily turned. It is stated that a suitable waterproofing-composition consists of a solution of celluloid in amyl acetate with the addition of sufficient castor oil or equivalent to obtain the required flexibility. The seams may be first stretched and then cemented.
