Title: Improvements in Lace and in the Methods of Producing the same.
Inventor: DUDSON JOHN EMANUEL
Filed: 1897-08-16
Granted: 1897-10-02
Abstract: 18,895. Dudson, J. E. Aug. 16. Lace and lace-making.-The object is to produce on a curtain machine lace having a pattern or clothing with a cross-net between but not under the pattern as at present, and to produce a lace with cross-net and combination effects. The machine is provided with three guide-bars and jacks or interceptors, which are selected at the back and front motions, instead of at one motion only as at present. This allows the crossings to be made in the middle of adjacent meshes, as shown in Fig. 2, the ordinary method being indicated in Fig. 1. For producing cross-net with combination effects, the back or No. 1 guide is supplied with thick spool threads which are pillared except when clothing or patterning. The other bars, Nos. 2 and 3, are filled with warps which form the crossings in the net and combination work. In some cases a fourth bar is used, supplied with warp threads which pillar with the spool threads when not clothing or patterning. The spool threads can be used for patterning or clothing only, the threads between two clothings being clipped. For making cross-net with clothing or patterning similar to the lace known as crossground Swiss lace, four guides are used, No. 4 being supplied with warps from a beam, and the other three with spool threads which do not pass round a tension roller. Fig. 3 represents the crossnet, s being spool threads and n, o, u, r warp threads ; the various motions are indicated by the Figures such as n<1>, n<2>, &c. At each half motion of the machine the guide-bars are moved twice, the interceptors being selected between the movements. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, e are the interceptors, and f, g, h the guide-bars. At the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd half-motions the odd jacks enter as far as m, and the even to k. At the 4th, 5th, and 6th, all the jacks enter to m. At the 7th, 8th, and 9th, the odd jacks enter to k, and the even to m. At the 10th, 11th, and 12th, all enter to k. For producing combination effects the selected jacks for two consecutive motions enter to m, and for the next two to k.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Nailing Machines.
Inventor: MORGAN HENRY WARD
Filed: 1897-08-27
Granted: 1897-10-16
Abstract: 19,770. Morgan, H. W. Aug. 27. Nailing boxes. The nails are fed from a receptacle down shoots s, Fig. 8, until they arrive at a turn plate 74, Figs. 1 and 8, which removes the end nail by a notch 73 to the channel 70. In its motion the nail head and shank strike respectively against the surface 77 and the projection 75 which ensure proper delivery. The nail now falls into the vertical channel c, Fig. 9, in the block 45, in which it is held by spring fingers until driven into the work. Should clogging occur, the section 64 of the channel opens out against the springs 66 on the rods 65 and prevents damage. The blocks 45 are arranged in two sets ; one set is carried by the fixed bars 46, Fig. 1, and the other by the movable bars 47 which can be adjusted so as to bring all the nails into line or otherwise. The two sets of driver bars 51, Figs. 1, 4, and 6, are similarly adjustable beneath the driver head 3<x>. The drivers have flanged heads engaging with adjustable bars 58 and 57. The bars 57 are carried by bars 54, which may be slid beneath the head 3<x> so as to come into line with the other bars. The driver head is reciprocated by a connecting-rod 4 and crank on the shaft 5. The boards forming the box are supported on the piece 2<x>, and the bars 31 of the uprights 30 on the work table 2. The height of the table is adjusted by a screw 11 engaging the table and a worm 12 on the shaft 14. This shaft is connected to the shaft 18 by a belt 6<x>. The shaft 18 is rotated in either direction by pulling over a lever 19 which brings one of the two friction-wheels 25, 22 in contact with the friction-wheel 23 on the main shaft 6, suitable gearing being interposed, as shown. When the nails are driven transversely through cleats t, Fig. 4, they require clinching. This is done by a slide 32, Figs. 1 and 4, forced upwards by a projection 34 rigidly connected to the lever 36 jointed to links 37 and 38. A cam 41 on the shaft 5 acts on the link 37. For supporting the cleats during nailing, a support 80, Fig. 4, is employed. This is adjustable vertically by a screw 82, as shown. The machine is adapted to drive one set of nails and then stop automatically, any suitable clutch between the shafts 5 and 6 being used for this purpose.

Inventor: BRIERLEY WYNFORD
Filed: 1898-01-08
Granted: 1898-11-12
Abstract: 571. Brierley, W., and Foster, R. Jan. 8. Signalling and communicating on trains.-Relates to electric couplings for connecting up the passengers' communication apparatus, or the electric lighting leads &c., between railway carriages fitted with vacuum brakes. On each brake coupling a is mounted a ring or clip b, which is made in two halves hinged at one side and secured by screws b<3> at the other, the position of the ring on the brake coupling being determined by suitable stops. The electric leads d, d' pass through a flexible casing b<5>, and are connected, as shown, to the spring contacts c, c<1> mounted on the ring b, so that the act of coupling the brake pipes also completes the electric connections. When the wheels and rails serve for the return connection, only one lead and one contact are necessary. When the two-wire system is employed, the coupling may have four symmetrically-arranged contacts, of which the upper two are connected to one lead and the lower two to the other. This arrangement allows any of the carriages to be reversed, without affecting the manner of making the connections.

Title: Improvements in Steam Engines.
Inventor: BEAUMONT WILLIAM WORBY
Filed: 1898-01-20
Granted: 1898-12-10
Abstract: 1558. Beaumont, W. W., and Holt, H. P. Jan. 20. Multiple - expansion engines ; valves and valve gear.-Relates to high-speed multiple-expansion engines, and consists in grouping two, three, or four single-acting cylinders on two crossheads and cranks, and also of an arrangement of rotary valve serving all the cylinders, and of means for starting and reversing. Figs. 1 and 2 show a side elevation and plan respectively of an engine with four cylinders, and Fig. 3 an end elevation showing the disposition of the cylinders. Two of these A, C work on one crosshead E, and the other two B, D on another crosshead F. The two crossheads work on opposite cranks, the lines of action converging on the crank shaft as seen in Fig. 1. The rotary distributing-valve is situated in a chest K', shown in section in Fig. 4, arranged transversely at the back of the cylinders, and is driven by chain gear M, M', N from the crank shaft. The steam-supply pipe is at L, and the final exhaust outlet at n. A pipe L' is provided for admitting live steam directly to the second-stage cylinder for starting. The valve may be kept in place by end-on steam pressure, and may run on a thrust ball bearing at the other end. It may also in some cases be given a slight endwise movement as it rotates to avoid scoring. This may be effected either by means of a cam G<1> and lever W<1> as shown in Fig. 10, or by steam pressure acting intermittently against a spring. In order to reverse the engine, means are provided for giving the valve an angular adjustment relatively to the engine crank shaft. For this purpose the chain-wheel M is loose on the crank shaft and is driven by a stud bearing against one or other of two stops. For shifting the valve there may be furnished either a rack and handle, as shown in Fig. 1, or a friction-grip hand-lever as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. In this, a flexible belt W attached to the arms X, X<1> is capable of being made to grip a collar V when the lever is grasped. The collar V, and thereby the driving-stud P, can thus be shifted so as to effect the desired adjustment of the valve.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Vacuum Brake Apparatus for Vehicles or Trains Propelled by Steam, Electricity, or other Motive Power.
Inventor: GRESHAM JAMES
Filed: 1898-07-06
Granted: 1899-06-10
Abstract: 14,896. Gresham, J., and Gresham, H. E. July 6 Brakes, vacuum. Fig. 1 shows two train-pipes e and f, which communicate through flexible pipes e<2> and f<2> with the lower and upper sides of a brake-operating piston c' working in a cylinder c carried on trunnions c<1>. The pipe always communicates through a passage g<8> with a port g<6> leading to a vacuum reservoir, from which air may be withdrawn by an exhauster, driven by the vehicles or by a separate electric or other motor and connected to a port g<7>. When a port g<5> in a hollow conical plug g registers with the pipe e, air enters through the holes g<4> in the bottom of the plug, and passes the underside of the piston c<2> and applies the brakes. When the plug occupies the position shown, the pipe e communicates through a port g<9> with the vacuum chamber, and the pressure on each side of the piston being equalized the brakes are released. Ball valves f<4> are placed in the halves f of the pipe couplings to prevent access of air when the pipes are uncoupled ; fingers f open these valves. Figs. 2 and 3 show a device which enables the pipe f to be dispensed with. It is placed between a ball valve b and the cylinder c. The upper side of the piston communicates through the way a<2>, the chamber a<5>, and the valve b with the train pipe e; and the under side of the piston through the way a<4>, which also communicates with the chamber a<6>. Diaphragms d<3> and d<7> are secured to the casing a by caps having apertures for the inlet of. air, and to the valve d as shown. When the space a<6> is supplied with air at atmospheric pressure, the valve d is pressed against its seat and prevents the access of air to the chamber a<5>. When the chamber a<6> communicates with the vacuum reservoir, the external pressure on the diaphragm d<7>, which is larger than the diaphragm d<3>, opens the valve d and allows air to leak between the spindle d<1> and the aperture in which it works, so as to equalize the pressure in the two chambers. Fig. 6 shows a modification, in which the communication between the chambers a<5> and a<6> is controlled by a spring-pressed valve d<9>.

Granted: 1899-07-20
Abstract: 15,827. Allen, J., and Glazebrook, W. I. July 20. Oil-lamp reservoirs.-The risk of explosion is minimized, and the escape of oil in the event of the lamp being upset is prevented by enclosing the wick d in a tube c which only communicates with the reservoir a by a small orifice c<1> and the feeding-wick e, and by closing all communication between the interior of the reservoir a and the atmosphere other than that by the small-bore tube g. This tube admits air to replace the oil consumed, and permits the escape of any vapour generated in the reservoir when the pressure therein exceeds that of the atmosphere. Slight modifications in the details of construction, such as the substitution of a valve for the orifice c<1> and the attachment of the tube c to the reservoir, are described.
