Title: Improvements in Lubricating Devices for Horizontally Mounted Shafts, Eccentrics, Trunnions, and other like parts of Machinery.
Inventor: FREITAG ANDREAS
Filed: 1900-04-03
Granted: 1901-03-02
Abstract: 6225. Freitag, A. April 3. Journals; lubricating.-Relates to lubricating- devices for horizontally-mounted shafts, eccentrics, trunnions, crank-pins, &c. Fig. 2 shows the application of the invention to a horizontal shaft. An oil reservoir c is formed in the bearing d, and communicates with the shaft a by passages f. The ends of the bearing form chambers enclosed by overflow edges e, which take into grooves b in the shaft, thereby permitting the lower part of the shaft to dip into the oil bath, the oil being carried round or sucked up by the rotating shaft. The sharp edges h on the shaft return the oil to the reservoir. The oil is distributed by the lubricating- channels g, and is supplied through apertures closed by a screwed stopper i, and in the end chambers are holes, closed by screw stoppers, for cleaning purposes. In Fig. 4, the invention is shown as applied to a crank-pin and connecting- rod end. The crank-pin l is formed with a collar m for retaining the end n of the connecting-rod. A channel in the lower portion of the end acts in conjunction with chambers c to form an oil reservoir. The chamber nearest the crank is formed by a divided plate o, having a central aperture the edges e of which take into an annular groove b in the crank-pin. The other chamber is formed by a plate covering the outer end of the crank-pin. Oil is supplied, through an opening closed by a plug q, to a ring groove s surrounding the collar and communicating with the oil reservoir. An eccentric may be similarly lubricated from a reservoir within the strap, formed by overflow edges entering annular grooves in the eccentric.

Title: Improvements in the Art of Making Flat Knit Caps (commonly called Tam-o-Shanters) and also in Implements for Carrying out said Art.
Inventor: KAHN NATHAN ELAI
Filed: 1901-02-11
Granted: 1901-05-04
Abstract: 2929. Kahn, N. E. Feb. 11. Caps.-Relates to a method of making the flat knitted caps known as Tam o'Shanters, and to an implement to be employed in their manufacture. A piece of flat knitted fabric with top and bottom selvages is formed into a tube, Fig. 2, by stitching the two longer sides together. The selvage, which is intended to form the rim or band of the cap, is turned in and stitched so to form a double selvage C', Fig. 2. The tube is then passed through a brushing-machine to raise a nap upon its outer surface, after which the edge at the top of the tube is gathered about the central axis, and sewn so as to close the upper end as shown in Fig. 4. The cap is then shaped by inserting into it a "former," shown in plan in Fig. 7 and in use in Figs. 9 and 10, which illustrate two stages in the manufacture. The " former " consists of six plates F, F<1>, F<2>, F<3>, F<4>, F<5>, hinged to a central disc E provided with a handle D. Three of the plates F, F<2>, F<4> are hinged nearer to the centre of the disc E than the others, so that the former will fold within the latter to permit the appliance to collapse into small radial dimensions.

Title: Improvements in Metal Cutting Tool Holders and Tools, the Invention being applicable to Saw Blades and the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR FREDERICK WINSLOW

Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 5044. Taylor, F. W., and Newbold, S. March 9. Sawing; tools and tool-holders ; planing and shaping.-A metal-cutting tool is secured in its holder by the use of fusible metal, such as type metal or spelter, the tools being preferably of self-hardening steel. The invention is particularly described with reference to the attachment of saw teeth C, C', Fig. 1, to the blade A. The blade has ribbed recesses A<1>, in which fit holders B, Fig. 4, resting on set-screws a' and held in place by a wedge I and screw a. The tooth C, Fig. 6, has a grooved face C<3>, held against the face B<5> of the holder by a screw H in a hole B'. Both internal faces of the holder, and the faces C<3>, C<6> of the tooth are grooved, so that fusible metal may be run in to fill the spaces at E and hold the tooth laterally. Figs. 9 and 10 show a holder for lathes, planers, shapers, &c., in which the holder has a grooved face F<2> on which the tool rests, and a bridge-piece F<1>, leaving an aperture through which the fusible metal may be tamped. The tool has a hooked shank G<2>, and grooves g, g<1>, opposite grooves f<2> f3 in the holder, to receive fusible metal. Fig. 12 shows a parting-tool in which the holder Bv has a cross-slot J to receive the tool K, which rests on a hard-metal facing L run in between the tool and the face K. Fusible metal is run in at E to fill the cavity.

Title: Improvements in Hydro-carbon Vapour Burners
Inventor: BLANCHARD ARTHUR
Filed: 1901-05-23
Granted: 1902-08-22
Abstract: 10,680. Blanchard, A. May 23. Vapour burners. -The object is to prevent the jet becoming choked up. This is brought about by superheating the vapour, filtering out any solid particles, and then cooling the vapour slightly before it is ignited. Fig. 1 shows the device applied to an incandescent lighting mantle. The oil (preferably a hydrocarbon oil of high flash point) is forced from a supply tank, by means of a handpump attached thereto, up the tube C, and passes by the tube a to a small chamber b in a block or support c fixed inside the burner casing D. The vapour formed, by the h e a t of the flame if the burner has already become hot or, before that, by burning spirit, rises between a superheating-chamber d screwed on to the support c and an inner centrally-arranged tube f, and is filtered by means of a packing of metallic gauze n contained in the annular space. The superheated vapour escapes from the top space d<1> by passing down through the tube f, also packed with gauze, to a tube g, and thence out through the jet orifice h. Openings i in the casing D allow air to enter, and the mixture of vapour (now somewhat cooled) and air passes downwards through a tube j, and thence ascends through the annular space k, vertical passages on each side of the block c, and the gauze diaphragm m, above which it is ignited. The lower part D<1> of the casing D is made telescopic, and may be lowered to the position shown in dotted lines (a bayonet arrangement D<3>, D' maintaining the parts in either position), so as to act as a receptacle for spirit to start the vaporizer. No chimney is required with this form of vapour burner. In a modification, an incandescent lighting- lamp, shown supported by the tube C leading upwards from a reservoir, is provided with a globe. In another modification, the reservoir, in addition to carrying the burner, is provided with supports for holding a kettle or the like over the burner. In this case, instead of a mantle, a spreader or deflector is carried upon the top of the superheating-chamber. Such a burner may be used to beat incandescent heating-bodies.
