Patent GB-189721801-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Manufacturing Inlaid Linoleums, and other Floor Cloths.
Inventor: THOMSON WALLACE GALREY
Filed: 1897-09-23
Granted: 1898-09-23
Abstract: 21,801. Thomson, W. G. Sept. 23. Coated fabrics.-Relates to the manufacture of inlaid linoleum or other floor-covering material with patterns controlled by jacquard mechanism. The linoleum material is fed into cylinders B, one of each colour, and is moulded into strips by pressure against slotted rollers D<2>. Working within the slots are spring-actuated bars D<3> with transverse cutters which divide the strips into square pellets. On the central axis G<1> there are mounted a number of levers G, armed with pins G<2> at their outer ends, and having their shorter arms jointed to toggle links H acted on by springs H<1>. To bring a given lever opposite to the coloured pellet it is required to take up, the corresponding links Hare first actuated by a cord of the jacquard which determines the side to which the lever is to swing. The spring H<1> then swings over the lever until it stops against one of the arms K which are protruded by the cords K<2> connecting them with a jacquard. The levers G being placed in position, the cylinders B are advanced by cams L so that the pellets are pressed on to the pins. Pellets not required are removed when the rollers D<2> are again advanced, and are returned to the hoppers supplying the corresponding colours. The levers G, carrying the pellets to be used, are collected and brought to the vertical position by bars M<1> on the arms M. The table N, over which the backing P is carried, is raised against the pellets which are removed from the pins by the teeth of a comb S<3>. As the pellets are being placed in position a certain sideway movement is given to the table causing the pellets to be pressed close against the material previously deposited. Suitable mechanism is provided for advancing the canvas, and pressing and finishing apparatus may be combined with the machine. Instead of providing transverse cutters on the bars D<3>, cutting-dies may be placed on the levers instead of the pins G<2>. In this case the levers are made hollow and the pellets are discharged from the cutters by air pressure.

Title: Improvements in Vices.
Inventor: WERNICK HERMAN RICHARD
Filed: 1898-01-13
Granted: 1899-01-13
Abstract: 949. Wernick, H. R. Jan. 13. Vices; clamps.- The tool consists of various clamps which may be arranged in various ways to grip parts of bicycles or other work. Fig. 1 shows one form of clamp, and Fig. 3 shows the same clamp mounted on the top of the rod A. There are two similar pairs of jaws B, B hinged together at F and closed by a screw K with a nut G provided with a hole for a tommy bar. The inner jaws have circular parts toothed at E so that they may be locked with the cylindrical openings M, N parallel or at any angle to one another. In Fig. 3, the rod A is shown fixed in one pair of jaws and the rod C in the other. The lower end of the rod A is fixed by a clamp shown in Figs. 1 and 3, one jaw of which is extended to form a base-plate for fixing to a bench. The rod C is fixed to the pieces O, and is extended to form the screws for the nuts G which press the jaws P, Q together. The jaws are grooved to form tubular openings D, and the jaws Q can be rotated and then fixed by the teeth E as in the clamp shown in Fig. 2. The Provisional Specification states that the bars A, C may be fixed to the central clamp by a wedge actuated by a screw.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fuel Economisers for Heating Feed Water for Boilers.
Inventor: PIMBLEY JAMES TAYLOR STATON
Filed: 1898-02-09
Granted: 1898-07-16
Abstract: 3241. Pimbley, J. T. S., and Pimbley, W. Feb. 9. Feedwater, heating.- Relates to the construction of fuel-economizers and to means for cleaning the exteriors of the pipes. Figs. 4 and 5 show in section one set of economizer tubes as secured to upper and lower boxes B, C, by their screwed and tapered ends. They are provided with screwed caps M. The tubes and boxes are so arranged that there is a forced circulation of water from one end of the set to the other. Fig. 6 shows in sectional plan the economizer tubes with scrapers D fixed to the frames T. The frames T are raised and lowered by means of the rod U which is attached to a chain passing round a pulley. The pulleys, one for each set of tubes, are mounted on an overhead frame, and are rotated by means of suitable worm and toothed wheels and oscillating arms in such a way that reversals periodically take place, thereby causing the ascent and descent of the scraper frames. The Specification describes with the aid of drawings the application of the fueleconomizer with its scrapers to the smoke-box of a marine boiler.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Pumps.
Inventor: VOIGT ROBERT PAUL
Filed: 1898-10-25
Granted: 1899-01-07
Abstract: 22,457. Voigt, B. P. Oct. 25. Annular-chamber type.-The pistons e, f of the pump shown are operated alternately by arms e<2>, f<2> on their shafts, these arms being actuated by a rotating arm i guided by a pin working in the groove l in the cylinder cover b. Assuming the parts are in the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 3 and the casing is primed, on rotating the handle h the arm i knocks aside the spring pawl n, engages the arm e<2>, and moves the piston e to close the support c. In the meantime, the pressure exerted on the water in front of the piston e causes the piston or valve f and arm f<2> to move until the pawl n locks the latter, and this brings the piston f into the position originally occupied by the piston e and uncovers the delivery port d. Further rotation causes the water in front of the piston e to flow out through the port d until this piston covers it, when the arm e' is in the loop of the groove l, and then the arm i releases the pawl and drives the arm f<2>, and the action is repeated.

Title: Means of Automatically Locking Railway Platform Trolleys.
Inventor: TATHAM WILLIAM
Filed: 1898-10-27
Granted: 1899-09-16
Abstract: 22,613. Tatham, W. Oct. 27. Hand-trucks.-Relates to wheel-locking devices for railway platform hand-trucks. Fig. 6 shows a reverse plan of a haulage trolley. When the handle P is pushed back, or lowered to the ground, the bolts F, carried by the weighted pivoted levers G, enter holes in the webs of the wheels. On drawing the handle into its operative position, the radius bar Q turns and tightens the chain M, which causes the levers G to rock and withdraw the bolts. In a modification, applicable to pushed trolleys, pivoted bars at each end are jointed to bars under the vehicle adapted to move in reverse directions and connected together by the operating-chain. Springs may be substituted for the weights of the bolt levers.
