Abstract: 14,608. Lake, H. H., [Hammer, O., and Hammer, G.]. June 16. Net-making.-The warp threads pass through guides F, Fig. 3, between the rollers E, E<1>, E', round a tension frame G, and guides 19 through the eyes of the needles D, to the shifting-bar B, shown also in Figs. 11 and 12. Hooks 3 on the bar B and flaps 5 on the endwise-movable bar 4 hold the knots and enable them to be tightened. The spool threads are carried by a spool I running in a ring 44 carried in toothed shuttles H, bearing in grooves in the rollers 35, 36, 37, one of which 35 is toothed to drive the shuttles. The spool threads pass through arms 46 on the rings 44 to the knotforming edge of the bar B. In making a mesh the corkscrew or helicoidal loop formers C descend on the spool threads and rise again as shown in Figs. 15 and 18, and form a loop which hangs on the point 60. The warp threads are brought up by the needles through the loops ; revolving fingers 49 catch the loops and take them down till they engage the teeth of the shuttles ; the revolution of the shuttles carries the warp threads round the spool threads; the loops of the warp threads slip over the arms 46; and the loop is tightened. Fig. 13 shows the knot. The parts are moved by cams and levers. The work passes over the bar B and rolls 52, 53 to the work roll 54. The screw propeller 56 holds the net stretched.

Patent GB-189729205-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Whistles, Horns, or like Instruments.
Inventor: MILLER JOHN
Filed: 1897-12-09
Granted: 1898-09-24
Abstract: 29,205. Miller, J. Dec. 9. Steam whistles; foghorns.-The steam valve of a whistle, horn, or the like is arranged to permit of the automatic ejection of the water which condenses in the supply pipe, prior to the admission of steam to the instrument. Valves C, D in the supply pipe are normally closed by a spring I, but can both be opened by sufficiently operating a lever E, the end E' of which engages a recess in the stem C' of the valve C. This stem is continued upwards and has a lug C<4> loosely engaging in a recess D<2> in the stem of the valve D. A passage F is formed just below a cylindrical surface D', Fig. 2, on the stem of the valve D. By slightly operating the lever E, the valve C only is opened and water is discharged through the passage F, but further movement of the lever causes the valve D to open also, admitting steam to the whistle, the surface D<3> closing the passage F. A cylindrical surface C' is formed on the stem C<1> to prevent escape of steam past the lever. A second lever H may be provided, having a stop H<1> which prevents it from operating the valve D, the valve C being first opened by this lever, and then both by the lever E. The Provisional Specification states that these levers may be interlocked to ensure them being operated in the correct order.

Patent GB-189809940-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Distribution Valves for Hydraulic Pumping Engines.
Inventor: MOORE JOSEPH
Filed: 1898-04-30
Granted: 1899-03-04
Abstract: 9940. Moore, J. April 30. Hydraulically-actuated pumps.-Relates to the distribution valves, and is described as applied to a pump in which the pump ram is between two power rams, the three working in cylinders at each end and being connected centrally by a crosshead. The four distribution valves C, D, E, F, of which C, E are the inlet and D, F the exhaust valves, are carried on plungers H which are a little larger in area than the valves. The spaces above the plungers are connected by pipes J with a valve casing, Fig. 7, containing four valves K<1> (two only shown) opened in pairs by a lever L actuated by a projection on a tappet rod L<2>. Of the two valves K<1> open together, one connects the supply K<2> with the pipe J connected to, say, the valves E, D, while the other connects the pipe J connected to the valves C, F with one of the two exhaust pipes K<3>. If the valves E and F or C and D moved simultaneously, a small quantity of pressure water would pass direct to the exhaust.. To prevent this, valves P, Fig. 8, normally closed by springs, are interposed in the pipes K<8>, so that the pipe K<3> opened by one of the two open valves K<1> is still closed until the valve P in it is opened by a tappet Q on the valve F or D which is just closing. In a modification, the plungers H are replaced by one double-acting plunger which may operate the valves C, D, &c. through levers in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 6 of Specification No. 20,185, A.D. 1897.
Patent GB-189812160-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Receiving Coin, and Displaying Stereoscopic or other Pictures or Effects in Exchange.
Inventor: WOOLFE HENRY
Filed: 1898-05-28
Granted: 1898-08-20
Abstract: 12,160. Woolfe, H. May 28. Stereoscopes.-The skeleton drum which winds an endless band of views is driven by a going barrel under the control of a flyer. The gear which gives an intermittent motion for changing the view and allowing it to rest for inspection is a pinion S with alternate long and short teeth s, s<1> and a disc P with two teeth Q, R flanking a notch. The mainspring has to be wound up every time (by turning the barrel arbor H) in order that the detent L which holds the barrel may be disengaged by a lug G<1> on the click wheel G. The winding can only be performed after prepayment, because normally a lug G<1> on the click wheel G is obstructed by a lug M on a hanger J, but the coin J', dropped down a shoot I, tilts the hanger against a spring. As the winding - arbor is turned by its handle, the lug G<1> passes over the curved side of the lug M, and so displaces the hanger sufficiently to release the coin.

Patent GB-189820125-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Pneumatic Lifting Apparatus for Water, Sewage and other Liquids, the Regulation of Flow of Same, and their Partial Purification.
Inventor: SHONE ISAAC
Filed: 1898-09-22
Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 20,125. Shone, I., and Ault, E. Sept. 22 Raising liquids by aÙrating ascending column.- Consists chiefly of means for minutely subdividing the air and intimately mixing it with the liquid, thus allowing the air to expand isothermally, and therefore efficiently, in the liquid column, and increasing its oxidizing effect on the sewage or other liquid raised. The air tube terminates in an annular orifice C, Fig. 1, from which the air is forced across the orifices E through which the liquid rises. In a modification, Fig. 3, the orifice C is adjustable in a socket F having an inwardlycurved lip. In another modification, Fig. 2, a horizontal orifice C<2> coacts with an inclined one D or there may be one or more horizontal orifices such as C'. In the case of the available air supply being at too high a pressure, the chamber from which the sewage &c. is raised has a downwardly-extending pipe into which the delivery pipe extends, so that the air can be introduced at a level where the head corresponds with the air pressure, economical working being thus obtained. When the supply to the well or collecting-chamber is irregular, the air-supply valve is controlled by a rod carrying two floats, one above the other, so that the air is cut off when the liquid in the chamber is beyond two predetermined levels.

Granted: 1899-09-09
Abstract: 1764. Baron, B., [Ackerman, O. W., and Malmstrom, P. E.]. Jan. 25. AÙrating liquids.-Fig. 2 shows a plan of the apparatus, which consists of a gas supply 4 with the usual valves 5, 6, a water supply pipe 8, and two strong cylinders 1, 2 connected together through the intermediancy of a pipe 10, cooling-coil 11, pipe 12, and filter 13. The aÙrated liquid is drawn off through the pipe 14 and valve 15. Fig. 4 shows a vertical section of a special valve 16 which is placed on the gas supply pipe 3<a>. Water is first passed through the pipe 8 to the cylinder 1, and the lever 33, Fig. 2, of the valve 16 is operated to raise the spring plunger 25, Fig. 4, so as to allow gas to pass through the ways 17, 18, 20, 19, and pipe 3 to the cylinder 1. The liquid and gas then flow through the coil 11 and filter 13 into the cylinder 2, the liquid and gas becoming commingled in the porous substance in the filter. Back flow from this cylinder is prevented by a check valve 10<a>. The lever 33 is then operated to lower the plunger 25, and thus shut off the gas supply, and then the pin 41 is moved downwards to uncover the passage 39, and the gas in the cylinder 1 escapes through the pipe 3, ways 19, 20, 20<a>, 38, 39, and then through the spout 40, Fig. 2. Water then enters the cylinder 1 from the supply pipe 8, and when it commences to flow away through the spout 40 the pin 41 is screwed up and the series of operations is re-commenced.

Granted: 1902-03-11
Abstract: 5154. Cutler, H. A. March 11. Liquid levels, indicating.-As a wheel bearing four blocks F and four pivoted arms G turns in one direction or the other with the rise or fall of a float, the arms in falling strike a rocking self-righting and preferably mercurial electric contact-maker H on the right or left, and so transmit a positive or negative current to a distant indicator. Owing to the sides of the blocks F converging towards eccentric points, the end of an arm sweeps out a protruding curve on the wheel in falling from one block to the next, and so encounters the contact-maker, although in rising with a block it does not reach so far. The apparatus may be modified by the use of a pair of double contact-tubes at each end of the frame, in order to allow of a single battery instead of two being used.
