Title: Improvements in Sheet Metal Seaming Machines.
Inventor: NORTON EDWIN
Filed: 1898-09-13
Granted: 1899-04-08
Abstract: 19,455. Norton, E. Sept. 13. Metal, sheet, seaming and joining. - Relates to a sheet-metal seaming machine for seaming the covers on cans. A suitable framework A, Fig. 4, is provided with an adjustable table (not shown) on which the can X rests. A slide C, vertically movable in guide C' by a cam or foot-lever, carries a yoke C<3> and a rotating shaft G'. A clamping-ring B, Fig. 5, split at b, is connected by arms B' with the yoke C<2>, having a small vertical movement on the bolts c. A lever D is pivoted at d on the clamping-ring, and has a cam slot d' engaging a pin d<2> on the ring, the outer end of the lever being pivoted at d<3> on the frame A. As the ring descends, the lever D causes it to close and grip the top of the can. The shaft G' has a head H and a feathered sleeve G, normally forced against the head by a spring. Levers F' carrying seaming-rollers F are pivoted at f in lugs on the sleeve, which has antifriction rollers g<1> bearing on the clamping-ring. One arm of each lever F<1> engages in a groove in the head H. A collar g<2> on the shaft G<1> is engaged by the slide c when the latter is depressed, the operation being as follows :-The yoke C<2> is depressed to cause the clamping-ring to grip the top of the can. The antifriction rollers g<1> bear on the ring, while the rotating shaft G<1> is still further depressed, causing the seaming-rollers to be moved outwards and seam the cover X<1>, Fig. 7, to the can as shown at x, Fig. 7. The operations are reversed during the raising of the slide. A clutch, Fig. 8, may be provided on the shaft K, which carries the operating-cam, causing it to be automatically stopped after one revolution. The clutch comprises the driving-pinion m<7>, loosely mounted on the shaft K and having ratchet teeth m<8>, and a collar m<10> fixed on the shaft and provided with a spring pawl m<9> with a projecting pin m<15>. A cam lever m<11> can be interposed between the pin m<15> and a shoulder on the collar. To start the cam shaft, the cam lever is raised by hand, and then allowed to fall. This allows the pawl to be shot into engagement with the ratchet teeth, and the shaft makes one revolution, the pawl being then again withdrawn by the cam lever, and the shaft stopped with the parts in the position shown.
Patent GB-189826778-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Starting Apparatus for Shunt and Compound Motors.
Inventor: THORESEN JOHAN JETMUND
Filed: 1898-12-19
Granted: 1899-06-17
Abstract: 26,778. Thoresen, J. J. May, 20, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Motors, controlling.-Relates to starting-apparatus for shunt and compound-wound motors, and consists of means for breaking the circuit in case the current ceases or becomes too great. A switch lever E is acted upon by a spring G, which tends to draw it over the isolation plate D, but, while the current is of normal strength, the lever is held in its working position, as shown in the Figure, by the attraction of an electromagnet K, in a shunt circuit I, upon an anchor H carried by the lever. When the current becomes too strong, the magnet K is short-circuited by an auxiliary magnet L, which, by withdrawing its anchor M from a lever N, allows this lever to swing against a contact O. When the lever E is over the plate D, it still makes contact with the rail B, and as this rail is connected through the first segment of the rail A with the starting-resistance C, demagnetization of the shunt and consequent sparking are prevented.
Patent GB-189900037-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Typewriters.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ROBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1899-01-02
Granted: 1899-02-25
Abstract: 37. Phillips, R. E., [Hillard, F. W.]. Jan. 2. Type-writers.-Relates to improvements in the escapement or spacing mechanism, and is illustrated as applied to the Remington type-writer. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the rack 1, shown in transverse section in Fig. 3 and indicated in plan by dotted lines in Fig. 4, is normally in engagement with the dog 5 pivoted by the screw 11 to the rocker frame 4. The dog 5 is tensioned by a spring 12 normally overpowered by the main carriage driving-spring, but serving to move the dog backward for re-engagement with the next tooth of the rack whenever the frame 4 is rocked forward by the depression of one of the keys so as to throw the rack into engagement with the dog 6. The dog 6 has a vertical shank free to turn within the lug 14. Its working face is normally in the same plane with that of the dog 5, and is so held by the action of the spring 20, the bent-over end of which engages with the projection 28. When, however, the dog 6 is in engagement with the rack, it swivels, as shown in Fig. 4, and the inclined face acts then as a cam-plate, the pressure of the rack tooth upon it tending to throw back the rocker frame 4 and so restore the key lever and type-bar to their normal or inactive positions. The spring 20 is supported by a plate 21 secured to the frame of the machine. The swivelling dog allows the feed of the carriage to start before the re-engagement of the rack with the dog 5, producing a smoother and more rapid action of the spacing-mechanism. Fig. 7 shows a similar pair of dogs 57 and 58 operating an escapement-wheel 54, which is mounted on a shaft carrying at its further end the pinion 52 engaging with the carriage rack 50. The swivelling dog 58 is controlled by a spring 72, Fig. 10, which tends to keep the stop 67 in contact with the pin 79. Figs. 16 and 18 show views from the back and front respectively of another escapement mechanism. The rocking frame 106 carries the dogs 103, 104, of which the former is normally in engagement with the rack. The carriage driving-spring holds the dog 103 against the stop 118, compressing the spring 117 between the shoulders 114 and 115. When the frame rocks over so as to bring the dog 104 into engagement with the rack, the spring 117 throws back the dog 113 in readiness for re-engagement with the next tooth. The dog 113 will also yield to allow the carriage to be pushed back to its starting point, the spring 117 being then compressed between the shoulders 113 and 116. The dog 104 is pivoted at 120 so as to move between the stops 124, 125. The spring 126 tends to keep the dog against the stop 124 when the key is depressed, for the movement of the rock lever causes a tensioning of the spring against the abutment 127, but the opposing action of the main carriage driving-spring overcomes it sufficiently to rock the dog over towards the stop 125 and, as in the case of the swivelling dog, to start the carriage feed before the release of the key.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Winding Yarn.
Inventor: BERARD SIMEON
Filed: 1899-03-28
Granted: 1899-08-26
Abstract: 6654. Berard, S. March 28. Building-motions and stop-motions for ring and traveller frames &c. The ring rail is connected with a rocking shaft 51, which, during the earlier portion of the winding operation is rocked by a cam 34, slide 65, and chain 63, and during the later portion of the winding operation by a cam 32, slide 37, and chain 48. When the chain 63 is attached to the shaft 51 the chain 48 is weighted, and when the chain 48 is attached to the shaft the other is detached as shown. The cams 34, 32 are mounted to turn and slide on the shaft 9, and a third cam 47 turns loose on the shaft but is caused to slide longitudinally with the others. When the winding operation is begun, the cams are at the extreme right of the shaft 9, the cams 34 and 32 being rotated by the shaft 9, the one to reciprocate the shaft 51 and the other to reciprocate the slide 37, which, besides rocking the shaft 51 when the chain 63 is detached, has the further object of slowly rotating the spiral cam 47, by means of a reciprocating lever carrying a ratchet pawl, a ratchet-wheel 43, and worm gearing 45. By reason of the spiral surface of the cam 47 engaging with a fixed stop 54 on the frame, the whole arrangement of cams and gearing carried by the shaft 9 is moved to the left until the cam 47 has made one complete revolution and the cop or bobbin has been fully wound. The stop 54 then comes opposite a straight part of the cam 53, a stud 56 engages in the spiral groove of a rotary shaft 58, and the system of cams is automatically moved towards the right to the starting position. During this operation a projection 70 on the cam 53 operates a catch lever whereby the spring strap rod is released and the driving-strap is automatically transferred to the loose pulley. The chain 63 may be disconnected and the chain 48 brought into action at any part of the winding operation, or the chain 63 and its operating-mechanism may be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Steam Heating Apparatus.
Inventor: DONNELLY JAMES ALFRED
Filed: 1900-06-28
Granted: 1901-06-28
Abstract: 11,741. Donnelly, J. A. June 28. Pressure - regulating valves. - Relates to steam-heating plant, especially to traps for controlling the discharge of the air and water of condensation from the heaters, coils, or radiating - devices. The automatic differential pressure valves E, Figs. 1 and 4, are located in the outlets of the heating-devices, or between the outlets and the vacuum or exhausting pump employed to keep up the difference of pressure required for working. The outlet b is controlled by the valve d which is operated by the Bourdon spring e, Fig. 1, or by the flexible diaphragm e<1>, Fig. 4, communication being made between the outlet B and the chamber h by means of the duct or tube j. The tube j may be independent of the valve stem. To control the operation of the valve by the conditions existing on the inlet side, the vent l, Fig. 6, of larger area than the duct j, is provided, and is controlled by the water of condensation by means of the float m and valve n. The float m may be arranged in the upper part of the valve body, and the pin valve n may be replaced by a plate adapted to close the vent l. In a modified form of trap, the vent is closed when the float is partly filled with water and sinks. The suction or discharge passage formed by the duct j may be regulated by a small cap having a small tubular orifice. The valves automatically close when the pressure in the radiator is lower than in the return. The difficulties met with in heating-systems, such as, according to the Provisional Specification, that described in Specification No. 13,319, A.D. 1895, [Abridgment Class Heating &c.], are overcome by employing a valve-operating motor worked by the pressure or conditions existing on the outlet side or return and controlled by the conditions existing on the inlet side.
