Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Lace on Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: CUTTS JOHN
Filed: 1904-08-20
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 18,079. Cutts, J., [trading as Cutts, T. B.] Aug. 20. Lace and lace making.-Relates to the production of twist-lace to resemble closely handmade Valenciennes. To heighten the contrast between the ground and the finings, an extra warp C or, in places, several warps are employed with each bobbin thread D, in addition to the usual righthand twist warp A and reverse twist warp B. The additional warps C are traversed so that they mainly follow the outline of the design. They improve the density of the mesh by interweaving with the bobbin threads D and show up the outline of the design in contrast with the ground. In openwork net or meshed ground, the extra warps twist with the ordinary warps A, B to form the bars or pillars of the net.

Title: Apparatus for Damping and Affixing Adhesive Stamps.
Inventor: VORSTER BASTIAAN CAREL AUGUST
Filed: 1904-09-01
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 18,900. Vorster, B. C. A. Sept. 1. Damping and affixing stamps.- A strip of stamps is wound on a flanged reel 1, Fig. 2, by means of a handle fitting on the squared shaft 29. The strip is passed between a feeddrum 3 and a press roller 4, which is pressed by a spring 35, and is fed the exact length of one stamp at a time by ratchet mechanism described betow, the feeddrum 3 being provided for this purpose with a series of recesses 11 with which engages a holding-stud 12 carried by a blade spring 13. The other end of the spring carries a frictional stud 18 pressing against and controlling the motion of the stamp reel 1. On the forced rotation of the drum, the stud 12 is pushed out of the recess 11, but, after the drum has turned through the length of a stamp, it springs into the next recess and arrests further motion. The end stamp projects between the upper edges of a frame 21, the lower rim of which slides over a water trough 19 and is guided by lateral lugs sliding on two vertical guide-rods 46. Springs press the frame upwards. The line of perforations dividing the end stamp from the remaining stamps is directed over a tongue-piece 14, attached to a sharp-edged transverse bar 43 fixed to the framing. Three wicks 17, dipping into the water, are secured in the trough by means of bars 41 &c. with their upper ends level with the upper edge of the frame 21. Two thin transverse plates 42 extend between the wicks, and serve as a support for the stamp. A stamp-carrying instrument consists of a tubular casing 26, Fig. 4, having a head with two side cheeks 27 and a spring-supported stem 24 carrying a plate 23 through which pass two pios 28 fixed to the base of the casing. This instrument is pressed down through the guideopening 39, and the stamp is thus sheared by the sharp-edged bar 43, penetrated by the pins 28, and pressed against the plate 23. The adhesive underside of the stamp comes in contact with the wicks 17, and the instrument is then withdrawn. The stamp can then be affixed wherever required by again depressing a handle 53. The introduction of the stamp-carrying instrument into the opening 39 also causes the depression of the frame 21. Studs 38 &c. thus move the levers 37, 9, a pawl 8 on the latter sliding over a ratchet 7 fixed to the drum 3. When the frame 21 rises, a spring 10 rocks the lever 9 in the reverse direction and the drum is rotated so as to feed forward another stamp. To regulate the motion of the drum, it is provided with toothed gearing, so that it may rapidly drive a fly 52 carried on a shaft 51.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Closing Swing Doors.
Filed: 1904-09-06
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 19,187. Leggott, R., and Leggott, W. & R. Sept. 6. Door-closing apparatus; hinges. -A door is pivoted on the spindle 2<A>, which has a square or other shaped end 2<B> and is contained in the casing 1 sunk with its top plate to the level of the floor. The spindle 2<A> rests in a footstep of the plate 3, its upper portion being supported by a socket plate 4 of the casing. The socket of a spring cage 5 extends upwards through an opening of the plate 3 and its hexagonal or other shaped end 5<A> engages with a lever 6. A spindle 7 passes through the spring cage socket and bears on the casing 1, its upper hexagonal or like end 7<A> being connected to a lever 8. On opening the swing door in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 2, the lever 2, mounted on the spindle 3, moves out of the forked lever 12, pivoted at 13, so that its bottom antifriction bowl 11 in its movement carries with it the lever 6. This rotates the spring cage 5 and operates its contained scroll spring, the ends of which engage with recesses in the spindle 7 and the circumferential plate of the cage, in such a manner that, when the door swings free, it is closed rapidly until the top antifriction bowl 10 of the lever 2 engages with the forked lever 12. This lever operates the check piston 14 of a pivoted cylinder 15 so that the door then closes slowly. By opening the door in the opposite direction, the lever 8 acts similarly to the lever 6. The position of the closed door is adjusted by means of the adjusting-screws 17 of the levers 6, 8.
