Granted: 1899-08-26
Abstract: 12,481. Sterne, A. J. June 15. Lighting gas.-Relates to a platinum igniting- device for incandescent and other gas lamps, which is automatically moved aside after the gas is lighted. A bracket d, secured to the burner by means of a collar c, is provided with a guide-bar w for the levers o and f. The lever f is pivoted at l, carries at its upper end the igniting-device, and is counterweighted at its lower end. The other lever o is pivoted at p, jointed at r to an expanding bar t presented edgewise to the flame, and fits into a notch n in the lever f. When the gas is not alight, the parts occupy the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 3. If the gas is now turned on, it is quickly ignited, and the bar t then expands, rocks the lever o, and pushes aside the igniting - device. This consists of a body i containing finely-divided platinum and having platinum gauze or wires k laid on or wrapped round it. An ordinary thermostatic coil or bow may be used instead of the bar t and lever o.

Abstract: 16,779. Connelly, J. T. July 29. Cleats or holders for ropes and cords. Relates to means for attaching the scroll bands and check bands to the scrolls or carriage of a spinning-mule &c. Fig. 1 represents a pair of scroll bands C, D attached independently on the one hand to the scrolls E, F and on the other to a swivelling T-piece A, which is mounted on an adjustable base B <x> on the carriage. The rope is gripped at the point desired by a split cone G which engages with an aperture in the arm of the T-piece A or in a bracket J on the boss of the scroll. The interior surface of the split cone is made to conform to the shape of the rope to increase the gripping-surface, and its exterior surface is of an oval shape to prevent rotation. The extent to which the T-piece A can swivel is limited by stops Bxx so that should one of the ropes break, the other will remain effective; the ropes may be longer than is necessary as shown in dotted lines to facilitate repair &c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 9, the cone is gripped by a collar L, which abuts against the face of the T-piece or of the bracket J.

Granted: 1903-11-19
Abstract: 8035. Conger, J. B. April 7. Stoppers; refilling, preventing. - The interior of the bottle neck is formed with a tapered part, as shown, in which is fitted a tapered seating-block 4 for a valve 14, the stem of which passes through a central opening 9 in the block. Above the seating-block are arranged three separable parts or rings 5, 6, 7, which are retained in the positions shown, by a contraction in the upper part of the neck. The valve 14, which is of a truncated-cone shape, may be made of metal and coated with agate, glass, or similar material ; or it may be made wholly of glass. The seating-face of the block 4 is provided with a groove 13, and the central opening or passage 9 is provided with a wall 10 separating the cavity 8 underneath from the passage 9. The wall 10 has a central opening, and a number of apertures arranged in a circle round it. The end of the spindle 15 is fitted with a glass ball 16, which is secured by cement after the stem has been inserted through the passage in the seating-block. The next two parts 5, 6 consist of rings each having a central tapered opening, as shown, the upper part 6 being provided with a series of vertical grooves communicating from the interior to the exterior, and opening into a series of vertical grooves 21 formed round the outside of the topmost part 7. The ribs separating the grooves 21 in the part 7 are bevelled at their lower ends to give a wider passage for the liquid. The inner central portion of the part 7 is formed with a hemispherical cavity, as shown. On inclining the bottle to the position shown in dotted lines, the valve falls away from its seat, pivoting on the lower peripheral edge, thus giving passage for the liquid, which escapes past the valve and through the grooves in the upper retaining parts. Should the bottle be inclined further, the valve closes the passage. The ball 16 counterbalances the valve 14 so that it turns on its edge instead of sliding. In filling the bottle, the valve is held from its seat by a wire 24, which engages an eye in the valve spindle and is removed after filling.
