Title: Improvements in Gin-saw Filing Machines.
Inventor: WOOD ALBERT ALONZO
Filed: 1899-03-07
Granted: 1899-06-10
Abstract: 4998. Wood, A. A. March 7. Saws, sharpening; filing-machines.-Relates to a machine for sharpening the saws of cotton gins. Either of two files 20, 21 fixed in a holder is pressed at a suitable angle against the sides of the saw teeth and reciprocated by a crank and connecting-rod 87. Each file is mounted so as to file opposite sides of the teeth. The crank shaft is rotated by a crank handle 99, to which it is geared by bevel gear 35. The stand or fixed frame 2 of the machine rests with its bifurcated end on the distance-pieces 3 between the saws. The swinging-frame 13 which supports the crank shaft is fulcrumed on the axis 98 of the crank handle, and is connected to the fixed frame by links 14 and 12 so that it can be adjusted to operate on a saw tooth. Before feeding, a retaining-pawl 23 on the end of a lever fulcrumed at 28 is disengaged by the action of a stud on the bevel-wheel 35 on the end of the lever, the inner end of this lever at the same time raising the file clear of the teeth. The feeding-lever 50, fulcrumed to the frame 13 by a link 52, is now raised by the cam 60, and by the action of the pawl at its inner end feeds the saw on one tooth.

Granted: 1899-06-24
Abstract: 5638. Korytowski, G. March 15. Phonographic apparatus.-Phonographs, gramopnones, &c. are arranged with the driving-mechanism provided with release and re-setting mechanism. A detent disc B, making one revolution for the whole travere of the record cylinder A or disc, is provided with a notch c in which a coin-actuated lever n can engage, and has also a cam d for re-setting the spring-controlled lever q. The cylinder A or disc is provided with a recess f, or projection, at the end of the record, and when the reproducer h reaches this point it bears on a bell-crank lever n which frees the lever q. This lever on rising raises the reproducer, and allows of its return under the action of the spring &c. y. When the recess f is replaced by a projection, the release of the lever q is modified as the lever n moves in the reverse direction.

Title: Improvements in Type-writing Machines.
Inventor: HIGUCHI MONNOSUKE
Filed: 1899-07-18
Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 14,805. Higuchi, M. July 18. Type -writers. - Relates to differential spacing- mechanism for type - writers, the carriage being moved through one, two, or three units according to the width of the letter last printed. Each key lever is provided wit h a projection 11, which actuates one of the three frames 4, 5, 6 when the lever is depressed. Cross - pieces 12 connect the frames with three vertical rods 35, of which one is attached to a finger-piece 16 on a detent-plate 15 pivoted horizontally in a bracket 14 on the frame of the machine, and the others are attached to levers 19, 20 pivoted on the axis of the detent-plate. On the detent-plate is pivoted a dog 25 constantly urged by a spring (not shown in Fig. 2) towards a spring stop 29. When a key lever such as 8 is depressed, the frame 6 is actuated, and the finger 16 pulled down, so as to turn the detent-plate and throw the dog 25 out of engagement with the rack 3 of the carriage. The dog 25 then moves over to its full extent under the tension of the spring above mentioned, and, when the key is released, engages with the rack at a position removed three teeth from its former one. The detent 15<a> immediately afterwards drops out of engagement with the rack, and the carriage spring then moves the carriage so as to draw the dog 25 back to its normal position (in alignment with the detent) against the tension of its controlling-spring. If a key lever such as 9 or 10 is depressed, the corresponding lever 19 or 20 is pulled down, but, before the detent-plate commences to turn, the upturned end 33 of the lever rises through an aperture in the detent-plate 30, as to limit the movement of the dog 25 to a distance corresponding to two teeth or to one tooth respectively.

Inventor: NEUMAN MAXIMILIAN
Filed: 1899-09-22
Granted: 1900-10-22
Abstract: 19,128. Neuman, M., and Strasser, A. Sept. 22. Motor road vehicles. - Consists of a tractor. vehicle in the form of a two-wheeled frame carrying the motor with all its accessories, the wheels of which, though both driven by the motor, are capable of turning independently for steering on short swivelling axles. This vehicle is securely coupled to the fore-carriage of any ordinary vehicle which is to be drawn, in such a manner that it can be easily detached but is capable of only vertical displacement. Fig. 1 shows in plan the connection of the vehicle with the fore-carriage of a drawn vehicle, and Fig. 2 a back view. The motor apparatus may be of any kind. As shown, four cylinders a drive a crank shaft b, whence motion is transmitted to the driving and steering wheels l through a countershaft d and bevel gear h. The latter is arranged on the frame c so as to be co-axial with the pivot of the short steering-axles. The frame is provided with a coupling-device o, which is secured by bolts r in the fork p on the forecarriage. The fore-carriage wheels may be driven by chain gear. The invention is shown in the Specification as applied also to omnibuses, vans, gun carriages, ammunition carts, and heavy size gun mountings.

Inventor: BRAZIER FREDERICK JAMES
Filed: 1899-10-27
Granted: 1900-10-27
Abstract: 21,493. Brazier, F. J. Oct. 27. Ball and float valves.-A float valve for cisterns, flush-tanks, and other purposes is shown in Fig. 1. The float B slides vertically on the end of the outlet pipe A, and is connected by levers C, D, pivoted to a. casing G on the end of the pipe to a lug K fixed underneath the valve I. The vertical movement of the float is transmitted on a reduced scale to the valve which seats against the outlet A<1> of the pipe. The float may slide between guides.

Title: A New Process for the Production of Dinaphthylamine Derivatives.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-11-15
Granted: 1900-09-15
Abstract: 22,804. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Nov. 15. #-Dinaphthylamine and its derivatives are produced by acting upon #- naphthylamine or its derivatives with sulphurous acid or its salts, ammonia being eliminated. An example is given in which a symmetrical disulphonic acid of #-dinaphthylamine SO3H.C10H6.NH.C10H6.SO3H is produced by heating the sodium salt of #1- naphthylamine-#4-sulphonic acid with sodium-bisulphite solution at 90‹-100‹ C. Nitrous acid in acid solution converts the product into nitrosamine. In another example a symmetrical dioxy- #-dinaphthylamine disulphonic acid SO3H.(OH).C10H5.NH.C10H5.(OH).SO3H is produced from #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-monosulphonic acid. #-Naphthylamine itself is preferably acted upon in alcoholic solution.
