Granted: 1898-08-27
Abstract: 23,254. Davies, P. Oct. 9. Building wheels; wooden wheels; axle-boxes; axle caps; felloes or rims ; hubs ; spokes.-A partial side elevation of the wheel is shown in Fig. 1, and a section of the axlebox in Fig. 4. The hub end a<1> of each spoke a is wedge-shaped, so that, when the spokes are mounted in the felloe or rim b and forced inwards by any apparatus, the wedge-shaped ends engage together and practically form the hub. While the parts are under compression the tyre c is put on, and after the pressure is removed the centre is bored to receive the axle-box d, the ends a<1> being secured by bolts e between the fixed flange d' and the movable flange d<2>. The axle-box may have strengthening-webs d<4>, and the flange d<2> may be connected with the sleeve d<3>, which extends beyond the axle-nut f and receives the screwed axle-cap g. Fig. 5 shows a form in which a filling-piece h is placed between the ends of consecutive spokes, and, by being forced on to a double-wedge shaped metallic piece i, is caused to take into undercuts a<3> in the spokes ends. The felloes may be secured by dowel-pins b<1>.

Granted: 1898-07-02
Abstract: 25,218. Soc. Roger et Gallet. May 29, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Stoppers; capsuling and sealing bottles &c.-Relates to caps for flasks, scent and other bottles, and similar receptacles. The cap is formed from a compound having a basis of gelatine &c., and preferably rendered opaque, and after being placed on the bottle &c. is hardened to enable it to resist the action of heat and humidity. The compound, which may consist of gelatine, glycerine, oxide of zinc, sugar, and water in stated proportions, is made into a hot paste, into which a core or former is dipped. The paste adheres to the core in the form of a film, which, after cooling, is removed and forms the cap a. A hole, of smaller diameter than the plug c of the ordinary stopper b, is then formed in the top of the cap, and into it is forced the plug c. The stopper is inserted in the bottle &c. so that the cap a embraces the neck, after which the cap is hardened by the action of a suitable reagent such as formic aldehyde. The stopper cannot then be withdrawn without breaking the cap.

Abstract: 14,965. Newman, A. S., and Newman & Guardia. July 7. Kinematographic apparatus.-Relates to a machine for punching holes at equal intervals in the margins of strips or ribbons, Fig. 5, used in kinematographs. The ribbon 14, Fig. 4, is moved forward step by step, by two pegs 20 which enter perforations already punched, a rocking movement being imparted to the pegs by an eccentric (not shown) oscillating about the fulcrum 17, which itself moves up and down in the guides 15. After the pegs 20 are withdrawn, other two pegs are pushed down into the last pair of holes punched to correct any irregularity in the feed. The pegs 12 are then forced through the ribbon by a blow from the same reciprocating head 5, to which the adjusting-pegs 11 are attached. The punches 12 are withdrawn by spiral springs 24 when the crosshead 5 is raised by an eccentric (not shown) to which it is connected. The punched film is wound on a reel (not shown) which is driven by a friction clutch, the tension on the ribbon being regulated by an automatic brake. The flanged bobbin 42 where the ribbon enters the machine acts as a lateral guide, being divided into two halves, one of which is fixed and the other pressed against the edge of the film by a spring.
