Title: Improvements in Holders for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1899-03-28
Granted: 1899-05-13
Abstract: 6693. Thompson, W. P., [Meyberg, M.]. March 28. Incandescent lamps.-A holder consists of a top part A and a sleeve H, loosely c o n - nected by their bent edges and by the heads of screws which are inserted into the part A and an insulating-disc B. The lamp cap I is smaller than the holder, and is secured by a locking-device on the disc B, while the bulb is held by the slotted edge h<11> of the sleeve H. The locking-device may be arranged tn allow the lamp to be turned in the holder, to switch it off or on. For this purpose, the lamp has a central conducting-stem, which may be constructed as shown in section in Fig. 4, and which is connected to one end of the filament, the cap I being connected to the other. The stem enters a tube C carried on the disc B, and in the form shown a pin g' on the stem enters a bayonet-slot in the tube, as a locking-device. The bayonet-slot has two notches in which the pin may rest, one higher than the other. When the pin is in the highest notch, the cap I is in contact with a conducting-spring D, carried by the disc B, but when the lamp is turned so that the pin is in the lower notch it is disconnected. The two notches may be at the same height, in which case the spring D makes contact with a projection on the cap I, in one position. The stem may otherwise screw into the tube C.

Burnishing; ornamenting.-Relates to machines for edge-setting and top ironing, and for applying ink or other stains to the edges of soles and heels. Fig. 1 shows a plan, and Fig. 2 an elevation of the head of a top-ironing machine, driven by a band running on fast and loose pulleys on a spindle B. From this spindle is driven, by means of a belt, the vertical spindle carrying the top-iron, which is shown as of the type described in Specification No. 11,212, A.D. 1895. An arm E, Fig. 3, bolted to the framing of the machine, carries a vessel D containing the wax or stain. An air space G is provided, in the manner shown or otherwise, to prevent the overheating of the vessel D, which is attached, so as to be easily removable, by a screw through a slotted lug D<3>. A hinged cover R excludes dust &c.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Speed Gears
Inventor: PELLANT ALFRED
Filed: 1900-12-06
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 22,202. Pellant, A. Dec. 6. Toothed gearing; clutches.-Relates to speed gear for cycles of the kind described in Specification No. 22,342, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Velocipedes], and has for its object to provide a free wheel when the high gear is in action. The hub 2, which carries the pinions 9 in gear with an internal ring of teeth on the chain-wheel and with the pinion 6 loose on the axle, is formed with an internal ring of teeth 3 to engage a sliding clutch 1. This clutch is in two parts a, b connected by ratchet and pawl, or by friction ratchet, adapted to allow the inner part to overrun the outer in the forward direction. The bore of the inner part is toothed to engage with the loose pinion 6 and with a fixed pinion 8. In the position shown, the outer part of the clutch is locked to the hub and the inner part to the loose pinion 6, and the parts rotate together when the chain-wheel runs in the forward direction. When the chain-wheel is arrested, the pinions 9 continue to run on and rotate the pinion 6 at a higher speed, the ratchet clutch allowing this. The low speed is obtained by shifting the clutch out of gear with the hub ; its toothed inner periphery then locks the pinion 6 to the dead wheel 8.

Title: Improvements in Antiseptic Compounds and Methods of Producing the same.
Inventor: PAGE RALPH HUGH
Filed: 1902-03-04
Granted: 1902-12-04
Abstract: 5360. Page, R. H. March 4. Antisept i cs. - Acetyl - hydrogen peroxide, CH3CO.O.OH, which is a powerful antiseptic but is non-poisonous, is produced in solution by placing benzoyl-acetyl peroxide in water. Dibenzyl peroxide is thereby precipitated, and acetic acid and acetyl-hydrogen peroxide go into solution. The reaction is represented by the equation- 2 (C6H5-CO-OO-COCH3) + HOH= C6H5- CO.O9COC6H5 + CH3CO9H + CHaCO.O.OH. Less advantageously, diacetyl peroxide may be used in place of benzoyl-acetyl peroxide, and probably other peroxides containing the acetyl group may be employed.
