Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Flexible Tubing and for the Covering of Cores.
Inventor: DOUGHTY HENRY JAMES
Filed: 1899-03-25
Granted: 1900-02-03
Abstract: 6466. Doughty, H. J. March 25. Flexible tubing. - Relates to the manufacture of rubber or other flexible tubing and coverings of cores, such as are described in Specification No. 989, A.D. 1899, and to means whereby the joints or seams may be made tight when naphtha or other suitable solvent is used. The ordinarily-joined material is brought under the operation of travelling bands, which are so guided as to approach each other as they travel, and thereby to force the joined edges tightly together. One arrangement is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Guide-plates D with converging grooves are mounted on a bed-plate B. These plates carry converging bands h and belts H which pass round rollers e, g, driven through rollers E, G. The material J is passed between the bands hand H. In another arrangement, there are no guide-plates and the converging bands are passed round two rollers provided with guides or flanges. The tube former or shaper shown in Fig. 10, provided with converging grooves u, may be substituted for the guide-plates or rollers. The tube is drawn within the shaper between the travelling band and a mandrel or core.

Title: Improvement in Devices for Locating Sunken Articles.
Inventor: MORIARTY THOMAS JOSEPH
Filed: 1899-11-07
Granted: 1900-01-06
Abstract: 22,226. Moriarty, T. J., and Reagan, J. T. Nov. 7. Fastenings. -Relates to means for locating sunken objects by releasing a buoy from a casing when the object to which the casing is attached, such as a torpedo, fire-arm, lobster pot, &c., has sunk to the bottom, the release being effected, if desired, after the lapse of a certain time. In the form shown, the casing A is fitted with a lid D secured by two bolts E, F. The bolt E is drawn back, after a determined period, by ordinary ' alarm' clock mechanism H, the wheel G of which gears with a rack on the bolt. The bolt F is similarly geared with a toothed sector N connected by a link M with a spring piston J, so that, when the casing sinks, the water pressure, forcing down the piston J, releases the bolt. When the lid is free, the spring R throws up the buoy, which rises to the surface, but is connected with the casing by a cord C. The buoy is preferably telescopic, as indicated. A hook fastening, operated by pressure only, is also described for releasing a buoy from a compartment formed in the stock of a small-arm.

Street and like lamps.-To prevent the entrance of draughts and to minimize shadow in incandescent gas and other lamps, the central cone C, Fig. 1, of the head of the lantern is surmounted by a curved baffle D, and the products of combustion escape between curved plates b, b<1>, which extend beyond the outer casing A. When this casing is perforated, a conical baffle E is arranged between the cone C and the casing. The glass panes I, Fig. 2, instead of being pattied, are secured in grooves by asbestos or like packing-material i, and the joint between the door G and the lantern frame H is formed by channelled edges g, h, which may be fitted with soft packing J. In lanterns having opaque bottoms K, the light is reflected laterally by a raised opal or other frame L, which may be formed with an opening for lighting the lamp. A glazed bottom with a metallic sliding- door for lighting purposes is, however, described, the use of the opal frame being then unnecessary.

Abstract: 16,359. Lake, H. H., [Scheidel, A.]. Aug. 14. Metals, extracting.-Relates to a process and arrangement of plant for lixiviating finely-divided ores. The ore is crushed in a stamp or other mill a to which the solvent is supplied. If the ore is to be very finely divided, it is passed into a second mill b, to which solvent is also supplied. The slimes &c. then flow on to a filter e, of a construction described in the Specification, the solution being drawn off through a drum, and the tailings transferred to a mixing-vat i in which solvent is conveyed. The mixture is carried to a second filter l, and the residue to another mixer o, and then to a third filter p. The solutions obtained from these filters may be enriched by treating fresh masses of ore.

Title: Improvements in Selective Systems for Electrical Communication
Inventor: REED SYLVANUS ALBERT
Filed: 1901-11-13
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 22,921. Reed, S. A. Nov. 13. Signals, electric.-Relates to a party line selective system for alarm signalling or other purposes. Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically the principle of the invention. The circle is divided into four parts representing the four arms of a wheatstone bridge. Across the opposite sections M, N galvanometers are arranged as bridges. A battery F may be bridged across the other section m, n, and by the proper selection of the battery contacts any particular galvanometer can be rendered inactive the others all being excited, The system may be modified by having a fixed battery and a single movable contact, in which case the galvanometers and the contact connect to line and earth. In practice, the circle is twisted and folded back to form a double crossed loop, so that the two parts M, N form the parallel wires of a circuit bridged by the galvanometers. The portions m, n form a bridging double loop for the selecting station, and a selecting bridging battery is used therewith. Each station is provided with a selective bridge which can be plugged into the circuit, the circuit being normally closed. Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the apparatus at one station. The bridge circuit O has a number of plugs arranged in connection with the battery to throw the battery to line after the plug Z has been pushed in to insert the bridge 0 into the main loop M, N. The galvanometer T is permanently bridged across the loop, and a polarized relay is connected in one line, a resistance 10 being in the other line to balance the relay. The relay has a balanced armature L, one arm of which carries an indicator signal and a detent which acts as a stop when the galvanometer is excited. The other end of the armature carries a spring 26, which controls the contacts 15, 14, short-circuiting the instruments, and inserting the battery. The plug Z may be arranged to co-act automatically with the battery reversing switch 29, or may be arranged separately. A detent 27 is also arranged to block the action when the galvanometer is excited.
