Title: Improvements in and relating to the Shells and Cases of Air-tight Coffins.
Inventor: ADAMS JOSEPH
Filed: 1898-09-30
Granted: 1899-08-05
Abstract: 20,675. Adams, J. Sept. 30. Coffins.-In building up an airtight coffin, a shell c, of zinc or other metal, with its lid c<3> soldered all round the edge, is dropped into a wooden case a ; or the case a may be lined with zinc, with a zinc lid soldered to the top edge of the lining, or, preferably, the lid is a zinc-faced board made to rest on a bead c<4>. The case a is closed by a wooden lid a<2>. Valves d and e, preferably formed of a disc h faced with yielding material h<2>, with a shank h<3>, and held against a seating-plate i by a coiled spring h<4>, admit of communication to the interior of the shell by screwing in suitable fittings, such as f. Caps g close the valves when these are not in use. The valve d, at the foot, is arranged to withdraw liquid and disinfectants, but gases may also be withdrawn through it, so opening the valve e and admitting fresh air. The valve e is used chiefly for withdrawing gases, but it may also be used for introducing disinfectants, and, by applying a pump, for withdrawing liquid through a depending flexible tube. The connections, pumps, &c. can be so arranged that the withdrawn liquid passes to a receptacle containing disinfectant, while the gases pass to a suitable flue. The valves described in the Provisional Specification are both in the lid, the one at the foot having a tube for withdrawing liquid.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stopping and Re-starting Mechanism for Looms Acting on Failure of Weft.
Inventor: CRANESHAW EZEKIEL GODDARD
Filed: 1899-06-20
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 12,867. Craneshaw, E. G. June 20. Loom stopping and starting mechanism; shuttle - changing mechanism; shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in automatic a l l y. - Relates to means for automatically stopping the operative parts of the loom on failure of weft, supplying fresh shuttles or bobbins, and re-starting the loom. The weft-fork motion C by means of the block C<2> forces the shipper handle B out of its retaining-notch B', and allows the spring to move the belt fork B<2> to the loose pulley A<2>. At the same time the block C' pulls the rod D, and allows a supplementary belt shipper D' by means of a spring D<4> to shift the supplementary belt to the fast pulley D<5>. This by means of intermediate gearing rotates the shaft D<9> for operating the weftchanging mechanism. When the weft has been changed, a cam E acting upon a compound lever E<2> returns the shipper handle B to its notch B', shifting the main driving-belt back to the fast pulley A<1>, and, by means of a horn g on the beltfork B<2>, shifting also the supplementary driving- belt to the loose pulley D<3>. The supplementary belt is driven by a small pulley H on the loose pulley A'.

Abstract: 7315. Ostergren, O. P. April 9. Gas or explosivevapour engines.- Air is compres-ed in the front end b of the cylinder a, and is stored in a reservoir 10, whence it passes to an injector p at the rear of the cylinder and induces a charge of liquid from the reservoir 8, which is ignited in the chamber u behind the ball v. The piston has a displacer end f, which occupies the part d of the cylinder at the forward end of which the exhaust valve 18 is situated. The air inlet valve i to the pump, the exhaust valve 18, and the air-admission valve q to the cylinder are worked by a link-reversing motion through one rod. The fuel valve 2 is operated by a cam on the spindle of the valve q through a lever 3, 6. The air is heated in the cylinder jacket 14, and is hot enough to ignite gasoline or benzine if these are used, but with kerosene an igniter 26 is necessary at starting. The part b of the cylinder is ordinarily cooled by water, but on vehicles or where water is not available the air is cooled in a coil 15 and passes through the whole of the cylinder jacket on its way to the injector. A hand-pump 25 is employed to raise the air pressure at starting.
