Title: An Improved Single Chain Grab.
Inventor: BOYER SAMUEL WILLIAM
Filed: 1898-05-28
Granted: 1898-07-30
Abstract: 12,195. Boyer, S. W. May 28. Grabs.-The jaws or buckets B of a single-chain grab are connected by links D to a crosshead C arranged to slide in vertical guides of the frame A, and the operating-chain is wound on a large barrel E provided with smaller side barrels F on which are wound chains G connected to the crosshead. The barrels F are arranged to slide in vertical guides in the frame A, and carry a swinging stirrup H which engages with a fixed catch K, and locks the bucket in a closed position. To open the grab for the purpose of discharging its contents, the frame A is supported, or the grab is allowed to rest on the ground ; the operating-chain is slackened ; and the stirrup is detached from the catch by a cord l, from a weight L, attached to an arm of the stirrup. When the barrel is lowered into the position shown in dotted lines, the stirrup is caused to engage automatically with the catch by the weight and cord. On hauling in the operating-chain, the grab jaws are closed, and the weight of the grab is suspended by the stirrup and catch.

Abstract: 23,830. Brown, B. Dec. 31. Sale apparatus; delivery mechanism.-An article is removed from the bottom of a well a by means of a drawer b having handles i or operated by a hand-lever k. Coin action.-The coin is inserted at a slot c between a pair of sliding jaws z, which, being pressed by springs t<1>, catch it again in front of a plunger p projecting forward from a bracket o on the back of the drawer. A pair of horizontal arms s, pivoted at the front of the casing and pulled towards each other by a spring t at their rear ends, are formed with shoulders which normally obstruct the bracket o on the drawer.

Abstract: 14,460. Deacon, A., and Bond, T., [trading as Deacon, Bond, & Co.]. July 16. Bending.-Spring plugs, employed for attaching knobs or other ornaments to rods or tubes, are formed from metal blanks. In the form of plug shown in Fig. 3, the blank is bent round at each end, and is then bent nearer the centre into the form shown, the ends coming together and forming a spring. A hole is provided in the base portion for the attachment of the knob, and the plug is compressed for insertion in the rod or tube, the subsequent expansion causing the plug to press against the walls of the tube to retain the knob in position. In the plug shown in Fig. 5, the arms are bent almost at a right-angle with the base, and are then curved, as shown, to bring the ends together to form a spring. The knob is screwed into the hole in the plug, or takes upon a screw secured in the hole.

Title: Improvements in Magnetic Ore Separators.
Inventor: SALWEN ANDERS ERIC
Filed: 1901-11-23
Granted: 1902-11-22
Abstract: 23,823. SalwÚn, A. E. Nov. 23. Magnetic separators.--In a form of magnetic separator shown in Fig. 1, a set or sets of magnet poles 1, 2 are arranged opposite each other, and between them are two parallel non- magnetic plates 3, 4, separated by one or more cross-walls 5. The polarity of the pole or poles 1 is of opposite kind to that of the pole or poles 2. Either the plates 3, 4 or the poles are put in motion, and, when ores are fed into the space between the plates, the non-magnetic portions fall straight through, but the magnetic portions are retained until they are pushed out of the range of the magnetic field by means of the cross-walls 5. When the plates 3, 4 are thick, wires or plates of iron or other material may be inserted in transverse apertures in the plates. In a modification, the plates 3, 4 may be concentric cylinders. In another form, shown in Fig. 4, the plates 3, 4 are concentric conical shells, and the pole-pieces 1, 2 are radial arms inclined similarly to the plates 3, 4. The polepieces 1 are secured to or formed in one with a nave 7 mounted loosely on a fixed shaft 8 of magnetic material, and the pieces 2 are fixed to, or in a piece with, a nave 10 loosely mounted on the shaft. The lower part of the shaft 8 is hollow, and communicates with the space between the plates 3, 4 by means of two channels 16, 17, near the upper ends of which are two crosswalls serving to direct the magnetic material into the channels. The non-magnetic material falls into an annular channel 20. In a second form of magnetic separator, shown in Fig. 7, pole-pieces 1, 2 are secured to discs 21, 22, fixed to a rotary shaft 23 which may be of magnetic material. The plates 3, 4 form the sides of a water-tight vessel through which the shaft and magnet coils 13 pass.

Title: Improved Button-hole Sewing Machine.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1902-04-11
Granted: 1903-04-09
Abstract: 8489. Thompson, W. P., [Fabrik f³r Spezialnõhmaschinen Akt.-Ges.]. April 11. Buttonhole-sewing machines; buttonholes, barring; multiple-needle machines; feed.-Relates to machines in which the two sides of the buttonhole are stitched simultaneously by means of two needles, and consists, chiefly, of improved means for barring. At the beginning and end of the buttonhole stitching, the needle-bar guides 5 are moved closer together, so that the two sets of stitching interlace and form a kind of bar, Fig. 8. This relative position of the guides 5 is controlled by a rocking-frame 7, operated through a crank and connecting-rod 53 from a cam on a disc 50. This disc is rotated by a pawl 45, Fig. 3, and ratchet 46 gearing with the disc 50. Simultaneously with the engagement of the stud on the rod 53 with the cam depression 52, and the consequent approach of the guides 5, a projection 51 on the disc 50 engages a lever 57, which pushes forwards a cover-plate 60 towards the pawl 45, so that the feed of the ratchet-wheel 46 by the pawl 45 is reduced. The work is fed by feeddiscs 29, which are also moved to and fro laterally to effect the depth stitching. To this end the shaft 30 carrying the discs, is reciprocated by a' vertically-moving pin engaging in an oblique slot 32 in a disc 31 connected with the shaft. The shaft is rotated by a ratchet-wheel 39 which, in the reciprocation of the shaft, is carried to and fro under fixed pawls. The length of buttonhole is determined by the rate of rotation of the disc 50, and this depends on the position of the coverplate 60, which can be altered by a cam 61 engaging the lever 57. Stopping-gear; stopping, automatic.-While the machine is running, the two parts of the driving- clutch are pressed together by a spring-actuated frame 70, Fig. 9. On the completion of a buttonhole, a pin 62 on the disc 50 releases a latch 63, thus allowing a bolt 65 connected with it to be moved to the left by a spring to draw a spring plate 66 into the path of the frame 70, which is thus pulled away from the clutch, and then engages a stop 67, thus stopping the machine in correct position. Chain - stitching machines ; ornamental sewing machines; needles, hook, threading-devices for. The loopers 15 which co-operate with the hooked needles 8, are fixed on a shaft 16 which is oscillated and reciprocated from two shafts 26, 19, one within the other. By throwing the pawl 45 entirely out of action, the machine can be made to stitch a continuous ornamental seam. Needle shields.-The needle guides 10 are reciprocated on the needle-bars in accordance with the movement of the needles.

Abstract: 15,172. Beechey, C. G., and Keizer, C. E. July 8. Driving-mechanism; motor cycles.-Relates to an arrangement for preventing slip of the driving- belts of motor cycles. The belt passes over a twogrooved pulley on the motor shaft, then over a pulley the position of which can be adjusted, and back again over the motor-driven pulley. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of an autocycle fitted with the pulley i pivoted at the end of one arm of a bell-crank lever l which is fulcrummed at m on a bracket n secured to the frame c of the cycle.
