Patent GB-189801925-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Pneumatic Clocks.
Inventor: YOUNG DAVID
Filed: 1898-01-25
Granted: 1898-06-25
Abstract: 1925. Young, D., [Hahl, A L.]. Jan. 25. Pneumatic clocks; escapements; remontoirs mechanism.-A spring motor A giving a crank B intermittent semi-revolutions every minute operates oppositely each of two bellows E, E<1> connected to distant indicators. The intermittent action of the motor is determined by what might be called an inverted duplex gravity escapement having the pendulum replaced. by an ordinary clock the mainspring of which is wound by the motor at each escape. The gravity arms also open and close atmospheric valves for the bellows. The details of construction and action are as follows: - An endless chain running round equal wheels communicates power from the crank shaft of the motor to the clock mainspring. Two independent bell cranks H<1> and H<3> on the same axis H have their lower arms attached to the air valves of the bellows, and their upper arms furnished with self-setting feelers h<2>, h<3> for opposed semicircular notches j<1> in an arbor J of the clock which revolves once in two minutes. Each air valve is preferably a bell M' dipping into a liquid seal round the open pipe of the bellows. Normally an arm F which extends from the last arbor of the motor train is locked by a pallet G<1> on a counterweighted lever G', pivoted at G, which is itself locked because a passing click G<4> on it bears under a lug h on one of the bell cranks. When this bell crank escapes through the notch in the arbor of the clock, it opens the corresponding valve and releases the locking-lever G<2>, which accordingly upsets and in turn releases the arm F, One of two cams N, N' on the crank shaft then resets the other bell crank, and after half a revolution a lug P or P<1> on the crank-shaft wheel strikes a rod g<3> extending from the mediating lever G<2>, and resets it in dependence on the reset bell crank The arm F then again encounters the stop pallet G.

Patent GB-189811551-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pianofortes and similar Instruments.
Inventor: KNAPTON HARRY
Filed: 1898-05-23
Granted: 1899-04-29
Abstract: 11,551. Knapton, H. May 23. Pianofortes; instruments with strings. - Consists in providing a set of sympathetic strings tuned in unison with, and vibrated at the same time as, those which are struck by the hammers. On each side of the framing are two soundboards e, e, which are made from three thicknesses of wood, the grain of the middle layer running across that of the others. The wrest-plank is situated at the top, and has the usual pins d, which may either be directly inserted into the wood, or into sockets sunk in the wood. Each pin has two holes to receive the ends of the string a, which passes round the frame, of which the underneath part is shod with metal to prevent the string from sinking into the wood. The string which is struck by the hammer, and the corresponding sympathetic string, are thus formed from one piece of wire. Each set of strings is provided with dampers i, those of the sympathetic strings being made in one continuous piece,if desired. These dampers are operated by a separate pedal, knee swell, or stop. The other dampers are situated on the opposite side of the strings from the hammers and at the same level. The soundboards are provided with the usual bridges, and have also soundholes and are connected by sound-posts as in violins. The treble strings, being shorter, instead of passing round the frame as in the case of the others, may pass through metal-lined holes provided for the purpose.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Writing Bottles.
Inventor: CHAMBERS ROBERT MARTIN
Filed: 1898-06-21
Granted: 1899-07-21
Abstract: 13,803. Chambers, R. M., and Chambers, C. E. June 21. Wiring bottles.-The bottle, when placed on the rest 18, Fig. 1, acts through the rods 19, 16 on a catch, which releases the weighted lever 13 on the crank shaft 10, and so, through the rod 11, operates a c l u t c h connecting the driving- pulley 1 to the shaft 2, to start the machine. When the wired bottle has been discharged, the clutch is automatically disengaged, to stop the machine. The bottle rest is carried by the bracket 24, which is reciprocated vertically by togglelinks 25 from the cam h. As the bracket rises, the weight 37, acting on the arms 36 of the levers 34, causes the levers to grip the bottle. The wires, four of which are employed in the arrangement illustrated, are drawn from the reels 161 through the tension arrangement shown in Figs. 10 and 11, where they are gripped at the proper times between the spring- controlled wedges 57 and the sides of the boxes 56. The tension is released when the boxes are moved to the right by the cam-actuated lover 64, Fig. 10. In operation, the ends of the wires remain twisted together, where they have been severed from the wires of the preceding bottle. As the bottle rises, the ends of the wires are caught by the cam-operated hooks 66, Figs. 18<a> and 21, and are drawn above the bottle, while the bottom pair of wires are drawn apart by the hooks 90, Fig. 18<a>, to permit the passage of the bottle neck between them. Before the bottle comes into position for wiring, a capsule or disc of wood &c. for protecting the top of the cork, is automatically carried from the magazine 130, Fig. 10, by the pan 141 mounted on the slide 160 on the swinging bracket 40, and is picked up from the pan by a spiked plunger &c., which is slotted to pass over the top pair of wires. The bottle is then raised against the protecting-disc on the plunger, the upward movement of which is limited by a stop, so that the cork is compressed in the neck. The hooks 66, and the perforated sleeve 69, Fig. 18<a>, through which the wires pass, are then rotated to secure the wire on the bottle, after which the twisted portion of the wires between the bottle and the sleeve 69 is severed by a cam-actuated cutter. A pair of levers are then depressed to bend the ends of the wire and the loop, which was engaged by the hooks 66, down against the bottle neck, and, finally, the bottle is removed from the grips 34 by the pivoted flaps 46, Fig. 10, on the bracket 40, and discharged into a suitable chute &c. The operative parts are returned to their normal positions by their respective cams, or by springs &c. When one chamber of the magazine 130 is empty, the magazine is automatically rotated to bring the next chamber into position.

Granted: 1899-06-29
Abstract: 14,394. Antony, W. June 29. Slabs.-Relates to the manufacture of metalfaced slabs for use as wall and ceiling coverings and in the making of doors, furniture, partitions, and the like. Asbestos boards are coated with water-glass and sprinkled with glass or emery powder. When quite dry, metal plates are attached under pressure by cement composed of casein, hydraulic lime, chalk, emery powder, and burnt magnesia. The edges of the boards are then coated with some waterproofing-material, and the edges of the metal plates, which were left projecting, are then turned down. Slabs which are to be subject to water or moisture are steeped in a bath of chloride of magnesia dissolved in alcohol, before being coated with the water-glass. If the slabs are required to be highly fire-resisting, iron or steel metal plates are used, but otherwise softer metals such as zinc, nickel, aluminium, or brass may be used.

Abstract: 23,110. Schmid, W. Nov. 20. Couplings, disconnectible; ball-and-socket joints.- Relates to flexible metallic couplings for steam heating-pipes, applicable also for the compressedair and vacuum-brake pipes of railway vehicles. In the coupling shown in Fig. 5 for steam and air pipes, and in that shown in Fig. 6 for vacuum pipes, the tight closing of the joint is made by membranous sleeves of rubber or like elastic material. The coupling shown in Fig. 5 consists of the double cup-shaped shell a, two outer spherical nuts b, two inner rounded ones c, the elastic sleeve d, and the spring e which is fastened to the nuts c. To unfasten the coupling, the pipes f with the outer nuts are moved within the cups of the shell a, so that the membranous sleeve d is compressed on one side, and stretched out on the other. The coupling may have both the shell a and the sleeve d in one part, and the insulating or protecting material between the spring and the sleeve may be dispensed with. For vacuum brakes, the cups a, b, Fig. 6, are screwed to the pipes, and are kept together by the bolt f. The elastic sleeve d is nipped by the outer nuts g, and is surrounded by the casing h.
