Abstract: 17,251. Gale, R. Aug. 25. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Blowing and moulding bottles.-The neck-mould halves are carried by two arms C pivoted at C' to the machine standard A. The mould halves D, which form both the parison mould P and the finishing-mould F, are pivoted at D<1> to a slide D' operated by a treadle D<5> or otherwise. The neck mould and the parison mould P being in register, glass is introduced and pressed by a plunger, as usual. The mould halves D are then opened, and the slide D<2> drawn forward, so that, on the mould being closed again, the blowing-mould F encloses the parison which is hanging from the neck mould. The blowing is then performed as usual, and the article removed. The catch c of the neck mould has a depending handle or arm c<1>, which, when the neck and finishing moulds are in register, engages the catch d of the mould D, so that both catches can be operated simultaneously. The parison and finishing-moulds are each provided with adjustable, interchangeable cheeks or liners, to adapt the machine for producing articles of different shapes and sizes.

Abstract: 25,314. Hesketh, W. T. Dec. 6. Stroboscopes.-Relates to means for facilitating the observation of the pattern printed on fabrics; wall-paper, &c., while the latter is travelling through the machine at a high speed. The device comprises a carriage e mounted on a transverse screw c capable of being driven in either direction by open or crcssed belts. On the carriage e are mounted a stationary disk i having a single observation aperture i<1>, which may be fitted with a lens, and a rotary disk h having one or more apertures h<1>. The rear disk h is driven by means of a worm k capable of being rotated at varying speed by means of bevel-gearing m, n and a friction roller q, which is feathered on a shaft o and capable of being moved radially on the surface of the rotating disk r by a hand-operated screw t. To view the pattern on the fabric f, the disk h is rotated so that the aperture or apertures in the disk move in synchronism with the objects forming the pattern, or, if it is desired to examine also the intermediate portion of the fabric, the disk is driven slightly slower or faster than the fabric. The part of the fabric under observation may be illuminated by electric light.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Gear Wheels.
Inventor: ATHA HERBERT BURR
Filed: 1906-02-15
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 3768. Atha, H. S. Feb. 15. Toothed gearing ; bevel-gearing. - In a toothed gear-wheel, formed in two parts, an annular band 1 with teeth 4 is cast of steel of such hardness that it cannot be worked by a cutting- tool. The casting is pressed into an approximately true circle and while thus held is accurately ground and preferably slightly tapered as shown at 3. It is then forced on to an accurately turned core or central member and the teeth ground to shape, the friction of the surfaces affording a sufficient grip to hold the band on the core. Internal annular wheels may be formed in the same manner.

Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 13,582. Honegger, A. K³ndig-. June 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sweeping - machines elevating sweepings into receptacles.-The dust receiver 2 is separable from the motor-driven sweeping and collecting tractor 1 which may accordingly operate continuously with fresh receivers without being taken to the discharging- station. The dust is drawn by a fan 8 from the yielding multiple-section brush 5 through a duct 9, whence it passes through a passage 13 to a centrifugal separator 12.- The heavy constituents fall to the conical bottom and are carried by a conveyer 16 to the receiver 2, while the lighter particles pass with the air up the shaft 14 through the curved passage 15. The exit of this passage contaios a spraying-jet 20, fed from a tank 17 by a pump, the water also being used for cooling the motor cylinder. The lighter particles are thus separated , from the heavier, and are mixed with them again after being moistened. The exhaust passes out through an opening 21 in the receiver.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lifting Jacks.
Inventor: LAKE ARTHUR ERNEST
Filed: 1907-12-04
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 14,338. Lake, A. E. Dec. 4. Lifting-jacks are con structed with a lever motion for raising, and a screw motion for lowering Fig. 1 shows a jack in which the load is supported by a crutch E at the top of the rack - bar A. A lever H and spring pawl J are used to raise the load the screwed nut B in the meantime being dis. engaged from the rack-bar by being rotated about its pivot F by the ascending bar. For lowering, the pawl J is disengaged from the rack by means of the chain L, and the screwed nut is then rotated by means of levers inserted in slots B<1>. The bar A may have two racks, one for engagement with the screwed nut and the other for engagement with the lever and pawl. Fig. 2 shows a modified nut which slides out of engagement with the rack-bar on the spindle C' and has the screw-thread formed on its bevelled under surface. Fig. 4 shows a jack in which a racked lifting-bar is engaged by a pinion mounted on the shaft L<1> behind the wheel M. This wheel is rotated, for raising the load, by means of the lever H and spring pawl J, the worm B meanwhile being forced out of engagement against the action of the spring N. The pawl is disengaged and the screw rotated to lower the load, as before. The worm-wheel M may be connected to the shaft L' by a one-way clutch and the worm B may always remain in engagement with it. Fig. 5 shows another form of jack having a circular lifting-bar with a screw-thread of quick pitch arranged so that the nut B will fall by its own weight, when the bar is lifted, and engage the bevelled friction surface C<3>. A sleeve J surrounds the screw and grips the bar A for raising purposes when turned into an inclined position by means of the lever H. When the sleeve J rests on the projection C<2> in the casing, the bar A is released and may be lowered by rotating the screwed nut B. The nut may be made in two parts arranged to move apart when the lifting- bar is raised, as described in Specification No. 6591, A.D. 1905.

Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 27,613. Ransford, R. B., [Soc. Franþaise des Wagons AÞrothermiques]. Dec. 14. Cooling ; heating ; refrigerator cars.-In a system of refrigeration for railway vehicles &c., in which air from a closed chamber is compressed, cooled in a refrigerator n, and caused to do work in an expansion apparatus p, the water in the refrigerator is circulated through a radiator t outside the vehicle by means of a pump w which may be driven from the car axle. The shaft d, which drives the compressor and is connected to the piston in the expansion cylinder, is driven from the car axle. The speed of the shaft d is rendered independent of that of the carriage by any means, such as a centrifugal governor which, according to the speed of the shaft, acts so as to expand or contract the belt pulley through which the shaft d is driven. A valve x, arranged in the pipe r leading from the expansion apparatus, is controlled thermostatically so as to allow cold air to pass by the pipe y into accumulator water tanks as soon as the temperature of the car falls below the desired limit. A threeway cock z allows warm air to pass from the compressor into the car without passing through the refrigerator, so as to heat the car. The shaft d may be driven by a cardan shaft consisting of two parts 2, 3, sliding one within the other and kept apart by a spring. A tension device for the belt consists of two pivoted frames 4, carrying rollers 6 which are drawn together by a spring 8.
