Granted: 1900-06-02
Abstract: 15,720. Crompton & Co., Hodgson, A. J., and Tubbs, C. F. Aug. 1. Arc lamps. - A clutch lamp has a lever q pivoted centrally and linked at p to the movable cores of two vertical solenoids l, m, or to the core of a single solenoid and a balance weight, and one core or the weight is also directly attached to an arm r of a movable central tube c, carrying a washer or other clutch. The lever q may be either over or under the solenoids. The upper carbon is guided in the clutch tube c by a socket described in Specification No. 6276, A.D. 1897. The piston e of an air pot is carried on the top or an arm of the tube, or on one core. The solenoids may be series and shunt connected, or either series or shunt, one core being above and the other below when two series or two shunt solenoids are used.

Patent GB-189924560-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Machines.
Inventor: REISERT MICHAEL EDUARD
Filed: 1899-12-09
Granted: 1900-11-24
Abstract: 24,560. Reisert, M. E. Dec. 9. Automatic-feed weighers.-The invention relates particularly to the feeding-devices of the automatic-feed weigher shown in Fig. 1. The beam b carries the receptacle d by means of suspending- arms a. The grain or other material to be weighed flows from the hopper f into the receptacle until the weight is nearly balanced, when the scale is tilted by the weight of the upper flap g, which rests on one end of the beam. The flap closes, and being notched it allows a trickling feed to complete the weighing. The lower flap h is simultaneously freed from its catch o, and is moved when the weighing is complete by an arm b<1> on the beam bending a toggle-lever r. The lower flap now closes, and the catch u is lifted so as to free the receptacle, which tilts and discharges. The receptacle then rises, and thus opens the upper flap, the lower flap then being opened as the receptacle swings back to its upright position.
Patent GB-190001888-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Factories for the Manufacture of Explosives.
Inventor: BENEKE GEORGE
Filed: 1900-01-30
Granted: 1901-01-30
Abstract: 1888. BenekÚ, G. Jan. 30. Ball mills.-Relates to a portable explosive factory in which all the operations of manufacture are carried on, the factory being fitted on a road wagon or boat. The wagon body is provided with a double-walled top 3 to serve as an oil tank for the oil motor 4, and with a water tank 7, the water in which is heated by circulation through the jacket of the motor cylinder. The exhaust gases from the motor are led by a pipe 9 to a junction box 10, whence they pass to the box 15 and thence to the open air, or directly to the open air by the pipe 17. The motor 4 drives the horizontal shaft 34 by the strap 35, and rotates the drum 21 by the strap 26. An eccentric 45 on the drum shaft works the air pump 20 for forcing air into the pipe coil in the box 15, where it is heated. The air from the coil is conducted either by the pipe 38 to the trunnion 24 of the drum, whence it passes to the jacket space 22, or by the pipe 39 to the hollow shaft 29, whence it passes down the shank 41 of the stirrer and out through perforations in the arms 42. Nitrate of ammonia, for example, is placed in the drum, and the stirrer 42 rotated by connecting its shank through gearing with the cross shaft 34. While the stirring proceeds, hot air is permitted to pass into the mass. When the nitrate has become dry and pulverulent, the hot-air supply is cut off, the stirrer 42 is removed, and the other ingredients are placed in the drum with mixing or grinding balls. The manhole 28 is then closed, and the drum rotated to mix the ingredients.

Title: Improved Means for Packing Tea and the like into Chests.
Inventor: APJOHN JAMES HENRY
Filed: 1900-02-13
Granted: 1901-02-09
Abstract: 2914. Apjohn, J. H. Feb. 13. Packing tea &c.-Tea or the like is packed into chests by placing the chest into an adjustable box E on a carriage which runs on a circular railway having filling, pressing, and removing stations. The chest is preferably lifted in a canvas sling into the box E, the sides of which are made of bars which overlap each other at the ends and are moved together by diagonal screws b engaging angle-irons a, until they meet the sides of the chest. A cord passing round the angle-irons is tightened by a pulley on the spindle e after the slack at the other end of the cord has been taken up by a winch n. The screws b are operated by chain gearing h, i, j, g and bevel gearing, from a hand-wheel k. A false top placed on the chest holds the surplus tea before pressing, and the carriage is supported on springs which yield to the pressure of the plunger and allow the carriage to be pressed down on to blocks on the track. The press may lift the chest against a plunger.

Title: Improvements in Bottle Stoppering Machines.
Inventor: NEALE GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1900-04-04
Granted: 1901-03-23
Abstract: 6297. Neale, G. H. April 4. Stoppering.-Relates to stoppering-mechanism for bottling-machines, and is more particularly applicable to screw stoppers. The Figures illustrate the application to turn-over machines. The filling-head a<1> is formed with a conical mouth a<2>, to receive the washer a<3>. The washer is compressed round the bottle mouth, during filling, by the gland F<1>, Fig. 2, which is actuated by the shoulder of the bottle under the pressure of the controlling-spring of the bottle rest H. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the washer is compressed by the sleeve or gland J, which is connected by adjustable spring-controlled rods to a loose sleeve on the rest. The stopper-gripper B, Fig. 4, is carried by the spring-controlled spindle b<1>, provided with a pinion E, which gears with racks, such as e<1>, e<2>, to extract and re-insert the stopper. The outward movement of the spindle, necessary for extracting the stopper, is effected by the flange of the pinion E engaging the cam e<5>, Fig. 2, the return movement being effected by the controlling- spring b<2>, which serves also to cushion the spindle. A single rack may be employed, the frame P being oscillated instead of being rotated. The machine may be driven by power, instead of, as in the form illustrated, by hand.

Abstract: 1839. Naef, P. June 27, A.D. 1900, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Cylinders, cooling locally to reduce friction.- Consists in a method of and means for cooling the internal faces of steam, gas, or vapour engine cylinders after each stroke, in order to prevent them from becoming iso hot as to interfere with the smooth and easy working of the piston or to cause a waste of lubricant. The Figure shows one form of the means employed in connection with the engine cylinder, which, otherwise, is of any usual construction. The cylinder A is made with ports 5, 6, each at a greater distance from the end than the thickness of the piston B, which ports communicate with valve-chests C, D, provided with spring-closed valves 8, 9. The valve chest C has a branch connecting it to a source of supply of cold gaseous fluid, and the chest D has an outlet branch connecting it to the exhaust. The valves 8, 9 are normally closed, but at the end of each stroke they are opened for a short time by cams 17 so as to allow the cylinder to be flushed by cold fluid passing from the valve-chest C to the valve-chest D. A small quantity of vaporous liquid may be injected into the cylinder in place of the cold gas, or finely-divided liquid may be injected into the gas before it enters the cylinder.

Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 14,930. Parsons, J. July 23. Electric railways and tramways with overhead conductors. Collectors.-The trolley pole is held up by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, which is automatically released if the wheel escapes from the wire, so that the pole may drop clean, and at the same time the swivelling standard is locked. Fluid under pressure from the pipe a is admitted through the inlet valve e' and pipes f<2>, f<3> to the cylinders g, g<1>, and is exhausted through the valve h. The valves e<1>, h are on the same spindle i, which is surrounded by a spring k<1> and is connected by a cord p to a bell-crank lever o on which the swivelling trolley spindle rests. The pressure from this spindle or a pull on the trolley rope u acts through the bell crank and cord to open the supply valve ; otherwise the spring opens the exhaust valve and closes the inlet valve. The piston r in the cylinder g pulls down the tail end p' of the trolley pole through its crosshead p<6> and links p<5> when air is admitted. The piston s in the other cylinder g at the same time turns a rocking shaft t to release the screw brake t<3> bearing on the fixed part t<2> of the swivelling standard. The brake is applied when air is released by a second spring-operated piston (not shown) connected to the rocking shaft t.
