Title: Improvements in the Cutting Mechanism of Button-hole Sewing Machines.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1902-01-13
Granted: 1902-12-18
Abstract: 927. Imray, O., [Rowley, A. V.]. Jan. 13. Buttonhole-sewing machines; buttonholes, cutting. -Consists in cutting the hole by means of a hollow knife or otherwise, so that a piece of material is removed, and the necessity for drawing apart the edges of the slit is obviated. The knife takes the form of a hollow punch 3, widening out above the cutting-edge, in order to facilitate the removal of the cuttings. This removal is effected by an ejector lever 8, 9, pivoted at 10 and pressed upwards by a spring 15. On the rising of the cutter arm 6, a finger 11 thereon raises the tail of the lever 9 until a latch-pin engages the hole 19. This latch is released, to allow of the upward movement of the plate 8 under the pull of the spring 15, by means of a reciprocating finger 22. The positions of the parts may be reversed, the hollow knife being fixed with its edge upwards, and the work carried down against it.

Title: A New or Improved Coin Freed Apparatus for Playing a Game of Skill.
Inventor: HOLLINGS THOMAS EDWARD
Filed: 1902-01-28
Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 2271. Hollings, T. E. Jan. 28. Games of skill, apparatus for ; actuating-mechan ism.-In a coin freed apparatus for enabling two players to have a game of table tennis, the table A, having a net a and enclosed by a glazed casing X, is shaped so as to prevent the ball from coming to rest on it. Two racquets or battledores B are preferably fixed to arms b carried by shafts b<1> operated by handles B' outside the casing. The racquets may be carried by two figures representing players. If the ball falls through an aperture C it is lost to the players, and if it falls into an aperture D the coin is returned. If the ball falls on to a cup-shaped receptacle f on the delivery trigger f<1> it can be brought into play again. Money shoots; coin action.-When the ball is lost to the player, it is led by inclined guides Z to a cage h<1>, which prevents its passage to the receptacle f. This cage is pivoted to the casing and connected by a link h<2> to an arm g<2> on a spindle g<1> carrying the lower pivoted part G<1> of the coin shoot. This part of the shoot is normally held against a stop e<2> by a spring and has a slot through which an arm F<1>, fixed to a shaft E and normally held against the stop e<2> by a spring e<1>, can pass freely. When a coin is inserted at a slot g it slides down the coin shoot until it rests against a stop f on the arm F<1>. As the trigger f<1>, carried by the shaft E, is now depressed, the coin tilts the shoot G<1> and operates the cage h', so as to allow the ball to enter the receptacle f. On releasing the trigger, the ball is thrown into play. Coin tipping or discharging mechanism ; returning coin.-After falling clear of the shoot G', the coin is led by a shoot J to a centrally-pivoted platform I connected by a link i<1> and levers i, l to a rocking shaft L normally held in the position shown by a weight l<1>. This shaft carries flaps c, d projecting under the apertures C, D. If the ball falls on to a flap c, the coin is tilted into the bottom of the casing, and if it falls on to a flap d the coin is tipped into a shoot K and delivered to a receptacle k<1> outside the casing.

Title: Manufacture of Products Soluble in Water from Ortho-Nitrophenyl-beta-lactic Acid Methyl-ketone or its Homologues.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1902-05-20
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 11,522. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. May 20. Dyeing.-Products soluble in water which are stable and suitable for use in dyeing and printing indigo are prepared from o-nitrophenyl-#-lacticmethylketone, or its homologues, by thoroughly mixing the pulverized substance with a pulverized alkali salt of benzylaniline sulphonic acid, or its homologues or substitution derivatives, such as chlorobenzylaniline sulphonic acid. The minimum quantity of the sulphonate employed is one molecular proportion to two molecular proportions of the ketone. The mixture is soluble in cold water and yields indigo on treatment with alkalies.

Title: A New or Improved Process of Manufacturing Fatty Substances from Fats, Fatty Acids and Fatlike Substances of Animal and Vegetable Origin and of Fatlike Substances of Mineral Origin.
Inventor: LIEBREICH OSKAR
Filed: 1902-06-06
Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 12,957. Liebreich, O. June 6. Paint vehicles.-Relates to the production of fatty substances suitable for the manufacture of wax-colours &c. by treating fate, fatty oils, fatty acids, and fat-like substances of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin with aromatic bases ; in some cases glycerine is also produced. The fats &c. are converted into acidyl derivatives of aromatic bases by heating with aniline, bases of the naphthalen series, aromatic diamines, &c., or with mixtures of salt of the aromatic bases with alkalis, and the anilid, napthalid, &c. of the fatty acid &c. thus produced is separated and may be mixed with fats, fatty oils, fatty acids, paraffin, vaseline, &c., the general result being the production of a fatty substance of high melting point and capable of absorbing a large quantity of water. When fats are heated with aniline &c., anhydrous glycerine and the anilid of the fatty acid are produced. Instead of mixing the anilid &c. with a fatty substance &c., an excess of fatty matter may be used in the preparation of the anilid &c.

Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 14,818. Boult, A. J., [Hildesheimer Sparherd- Fabrik, A. Senking]. July 3. Gas burners.-Relates to a gas burner or stove for cooking and heating, in which the mixture of gas and air is burnt at the inner circumference only of the burner head. An outer casing a, provided with a pipe for supplying a mixture of gas and air, forms with an inner ring b a gas chamber closed by an upper plate c. The inner side of this plate c has rectangular openings, through which the mixture of gas and air escapes, and serves to protect the burner head. Air is admitted through a rotary disc valve g on the underside of the burner. Several burner heads may be arranged in juxtaposition, or several ring burners may be arranged one within the other. The mixture of gas and air may be supplied to each burner separately, or the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 may be adopted, in which the inner and outer casings are connected by a pipe d. The ignition of separate burner heads is effected by providing a series of ignition holes in the cover plates so that the flame will jump to all the burners as soon as the gas has been ignited at one hole.

Abstract: 3785. Foerster, N. Feb. 15. Loom shuttles; tubes.-The spindle of the shuttle is composed of two members A, B, Figs. 3 and 5, swaged, soldered, or riveted together at one end and adapted to spring apart at the heel so as to hold securely the cop, paper quill, or tube N, which may be free from grooves, projecting ribs, or other locking means, and prevent its displacement during the running of the spindle. The two members A, B, which are further pressed apart by a spring D, are closed when the spindle is in a raised position by the upper edge M of a spring L, or by other means, so that the paper quill can be readily slipped on. The member A is provided with a longitudinal groove H and the member B with a corresponding tongue J, the spring D entering recesses in the heels of the two members, whereby the relative positions of the latter and the spring are preserved. In an application to shuttles adapted to control the mechanism for stopping the loom or supplying new weft when the thread is exhausted, the paper quill N<1>, Fig. 6, is provided with a slit P at its base. normally held closed by the surrounding thread, overlying an arm sand holding it within the groove formed by two grooves Q, R on the members A, B. The arm S is connected to a pin T extending transversely through a hollow shaft K<1> of the spindle. When the thread is exhausted, the spring D spreads the base of the quill N', opening the slit P so that the arm S escapes and affects the loom - stopping mechanism &c.
