Title: Improved Means for Sealing Jars, Pots, Bottles and similar Receptacles.
Inventor: GALE RONALD
Filed: 1905-05-02
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 9222. Gale, R. May 2. Stoppers, vacuumclosing.-Relates to means for sealing jars, pots, bottles, &c., p a r t i cularly those containing preserved f o o d s &c., and in which the lids are held closed by atmospheric pressure. The mouth of the vessel is formed with ai inclined ledge a' bounded by an inner bead, and provided with a washer b, upon which an annular projection b<1> on the lid is adapted to seat. The inner side of the lid is formed with a cavity b<2>, to afford additional space for creating a good vacuum. To open the vessel, the vacuum is destroyed by puncturing the lid, if of metal, or, in the case of a glass lid, by passing a knife through a gap a<3> in the lip of the vessel and forcing it through the washer. A metal clip C may be used to retain the lid in its sealed position. Or the neck may be screwthreaded to receive a screw ring or cap adapted to bear on the lid near its circumference. In a modification, the lid may be formed with the ledge, and the receptacle with the annular projection.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Dobbies of Looms for Weaving
Inventor: MOXON WILLIAM JAGGAR
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 3942. Moxon, W. J., and Paterson, T. A. Feb 17. Loom dobbies, - In a dobby, the operating- mechanism is constructed in such a manner as to prevent jamming or sticking of the parts, and to permit the use of pattern cards instead of lags and chains. The invention is described as applied to a Hollingworth dobby. Each pivoted vibrator lever V is connected by a link K to a loosely-pivoted piece K<1>, to which is pivotally connected a lever L having notches L<1>, L<2> on its upper and lower sides. These notches are adapted to be engaged by upper and lower bars C', C, which are reciprocated horizontally in opposite directions by suitable mechanism actuated by a cam on the vertical shaft which drives the upper and lower cylinder shafts J, F. The positions to which the lever L is pushed or pulled determine the positions of the vibrator lever V. The levers L are guided between projections M' on a fixed cross-bar M, and their upper or lower positions are determined by pins P, which are guided by passing through the bar M and a lower bar O<2> and are raised by blank parts on the pattern cards on a vertically-reciprocating cylinder G. This cylinder is mounted on a guided slide, which is raised and lowered by suitable mechanism actuated by an eccentric on the shaft F. The cylinder G is partially rotated intermittently by the action on a wheel G<2> on the cylinder shaft of another wheel mounted on the cylinder slide. The latter wheel is driven by bevel-gearing from the shaft J, and the shaft transmitting the motion is made telescopic to permit the reciprocation of the cylinder slide. The pins P have collars which normally rest on the bar O<2>.

Abstract: 5863. Fahrne, P. J. March 10. Toy animals; ropes or cords, suspended, toys travelling on.-A toy animal &c. is adapted to travel on a suspended cord &c., and to have movements simulating natural movements imparted to it. As shown, the toy represents a horse, its body 1, Figs. 1 and 2, being hollow and formed of one or two parts. Two wheels 3, preferably flanged, are mounted in spacing blocks or hangers 6 inside the body, and travel on the cord 14, which passes through the body. The legs 7 are formed with outer projecting portions 9, which are pivoted to the body, and with inner upper parts 11 having arms 12, which are acted on by pins 13 fixed to the wheels 3, in order to oscillate the legs, as the body travels along the cord. The pins 13 project laterally from each side of the wheels 3, and may be arranged so that the legs are oscillated simultaneously, or independently. The cord 14 is held in the hand, and is raised or lowered to cause the animal to move forwards or backwards. Each of the flanges is formed with a series of openings, in any one of which the corresponding pin 13 may be placed, so that, by suitable adjustment of the pins, the animal may be made to imitate the movements of galloping, trotting, or pacing.
