Title: Improvements in Acetylene Lamps.
Inventor: MOELLER JULIUS CARL HERMANN
Filed: 1898-11-07
Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 23,385. M÷ller, J. C. H., and Schaefer, C. W. C. L. Nov. 7. Acetylene lamps. - Water from the reservoir A, controlled by a screw valve c, traverses the tube d, the openings f<1>, and the rods f<2>. From these rods the water drips upon the calcium carbide, which is contained in an open-mouthed receptacle a to permit of the increase which occurs in the volume of the calcium carbide during decomposition. The acetylene normally ascends the pipe g to the burner h, but any gas generated in excess of that consumed enters the cylinder i, and, lifting the bellj, operates the lever e<1> of the cock e, and cuts off the supply of water until the consumption of the surplus gas allows the bell j to fall and to re-open the cock e. Any gas which may find its way past the liquid seal S escapes through pipes l', l to a secondary burner l<1>, where it is ignited from the main flame. An opening m gives access to the working parts, the water chamber A is provided with a screw cap b<1> for filling purposes, and the calcium-carbide container d is detachably secured to the base C.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Assembling Eyes and Rivets, and Securing them to Corset Steels.
Inventor: HENIUS MAX WOOLF
Filed: 1901-01-01
Granted: 1901-03-09
Abstract: 64. Henius, M. W. Jan. 1. Riveting.-A machine is arranged to assemble eyes and rivets and to feed forward each eye with two rivets in place for riveting to corset steels, the machine having a riveting-hammer. The rivets are contained in a rotating barrel q, from which they can fall through two holes into double troughs v, w, arranged and formed to feed the rivets to double shoots 4, 5, down which they pass with heads inside and shanks projecting as shown in Fig. 6. Defective rivets, or those not properly arranged, fall into a box 3. The shoots pass into vertically-reciprocating boxes 7, sliding on the face of the reservoir 8 containing the eyes n, which is mounted on a bed-plate m secured to the base of the machine. A driving-shaft d, carrying the necessary cams, is mounted on the base, and operates a slide to push forward the eye to receive the lowest pair of rivets, which are released by an escapement action controlled by two rods vertically reciprocated from the driving-shaft and connected by springs to the boxes 7, to reciprocate them and rock the troughs to ensure a constant feed of the rivets. The eye with two rivets in, heads uppermost, is pushed forward to a fefd-wheel 13, Fig. 5, on a shaft 14 intermittently operated by a ratchet lever 19. The feed-wheel has recesses 15, formed to keep the rivets in the eyes while turning them over and depositing them on an anvil f. The operator then places a p rforated steel over the shanks of the rivets, and draws the eye forward till it engages a stop h, Fig. 9, when the hammer heads 29 upsets the rivets. The hammer 25 is pivoted on the shaft 14 and operated by the driving-shaft. An electric circuit is arranged in connection with the eye reservoir 8, to ring an alarm should an eye be doubled up or prevented from being fed forwards.

Granted: 1902-01-15
Abstract: 1017. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Moody, W. S., and Emmet, W. le R.]. Jan. 15. Transformers.-Relates to means for cooling transformers, and particularly to improvements upon n the means described in Specification No. 6693, A.D. 1900. Instead of having the secondary conductors tubular for the circulation of a cooling- fluid, spaces are left between the sections of coils for the insertion of thin drawn brass tubes A through which the fluid circulates. The tubes are so arranged that the induced electromotive forces neutralize one another, and no external current is produced. The tubes are in parallel groups a, a, a, connected by tubes G. A divided reservoir K serves to supply the fluid and to receive the overflow. The outlet pipe M is connected to a coil C for cooling the oil in the chamber. The thin tubes a expand when the insulation shrinks, and so prevents movement of the coils. The chamber K and its connected pipes are supported by a yoke fitted with lugs U<1>, V<1> resting on the frame.

Feb. 5, Moulding butter &c.-Butter is forced through holes, slits, or tapered apertures in a die-plate D by a plunger B operated by a handle F and an internally-threaded bush H, within which a screwed rod of the plunger works. The expressed butter is cut off into the required lengths by a knife or wire G, operated by hand, or automatically by toothed wheels g<2>, g<1>, a cranked spindle g, and a spiral spring g<7>. A pin g<3> of the wheel g<1> comes in contact with a pin g<4> of the spindle, and carries the spindle with cutting-wire round until the crank g<6> is in its uppermost position. The spring then comes into action, and pulls the cutting-wire through the butter with a quick motion.

The shaft 19 of the circular saw 22 is mounted on the free end of a radial frame 20 rocking on the shaft 21, so that the saw can be lowered down to cut the boards of a floor, the depth of the cut being regulated by an adjustable gauge-plate 23. The saw is driven from the toothed wheel 16 through an idle pinion 17, the wheel 16 being driven by a belt 33 from the band wheel 31. Movement is communicated from the axis of the wheel 16 by worm gearing to a shaft 11, and thence by bevel gearing to the carriage wheels on the axis 3. One of the wheels on the axis 2 is grooved so as to run on a guiding rail fixed on the floor. The saw can be raised when not in use by a lever 25 connected to the gauge 23.
