Title: File for Binding Papers, Letters, Invoices, and the like.
Inventor: BOUGHTON HERBERT WALTER
Filed: 1904-03-16
Granted: 1904-11-17
Abstract: 6347. Boughton, H. W. March 16. Filing papers &c. - Fig. 1 is a plan view of a file for binding papers &c., showing the covers open. Fig. 3 is an end view of the binding - parts. A piece of cardboard b is cut out to the shape of i, Fig. 1, and above it are placed batches' of leaves, c and f, with a free space e between, produced by interposing a cardboard strip d. A cardboard strip g is also placed at the top of the sheets, and the whole pierced by holes j, and bound together by steel wires h. The covers a are gummed or pasted to the back of the cardboard b, and are bent or jointed on the lines k to allow the upper part to fall over the filed papers. The upper surfaces of the sheets c are gummed, and to file a paper, its edge is damped, and stuck down on one of the gummed surfaces, by which means the paper is held in position and kept clean by the covers a.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Incandescent Electric Lamps
Filed: 1904-04-27
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 9658. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 27. Incandescent lamps.-In machines for making bulbs, for uniting stems and bulbs, and for similar purposes, the glass tubes or other parts to be worked are mounted on a rotary frame at the focus of a number of blowpipe flames, and compressed air may be supplied to the inside of the tubes through the bearings of the frame. The invention is especially applicable to the manufacture of small telephone and ornamental lamps. The frame consists of an upright bar 5 and two bars 6, through the ends of which pass hollow shafts. The upper shaft revolves in a bearing in an arm 4 carried by a standard 2, and the lower shaft 7 in two hubs 3 in a forked bracket. Between the hubs 3, this shaft carries a pulley 8, connected by a belt 9 with a loose pulley on a horizontal driving-shaft 11. By means of a pedal (not shown), links 15, and levers 16, a pin carried by a clutch-member 13, splined to the shaft 11, can be moved into engagement with one of a series of holes in the loose pulley, so as to drive the pulleys and rotary frame. The frame carries spring clips 32 for holding the glass tubes to be worked, and flexible tubes 20, 21 connect the glass tubes with the hollow shafts. A tube 22 supplies air to the bearing in the arm 4, and a cap 18 connected to a second supply pipe 17 is pressed against the end of the hollow shaft 7 by a spring. In a horizontal portion of each of the pipes 17, 22 is a hole which reduces the pressure in the pipes practically to that of the atmosphere, except when closed by the operator's finger. The gas burners and blowpipes 28 are supported by a hollow ring 24, which is partly broken away to afford access to the glass which is being treated. The pipes 25, 26 which supplv gas and air to the ring are provided with a double valve 29, connected to a pedal by means of which the operator can control the heating of the glass.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Feeding of Sheets to Printing and like Machines.
Filed: 1904-11-23
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 25,532. Hodgkinson, F. E., and Printing Appliances and Engineering Co. Nov. 23. Feeding sheets. - Relates to side-registering devices for sheets fed to printing and like machines. A curved cam or weight a, or an eccentric roller or disc, is freely pivoted on a lever or arm b on a bracket c adj ustably fixed by a screw m &c. to a reciprocating bar d arranged flush with the feedtable. The lever b may be adjustable by a screw e and spring f for varying the pressure of the cam or arm a on the sheet. The cam a may be provided with weights l on a pin k for the same purpose. As the slide moves forward over the sheet g, the inertia of the arm or cam &c. a causes it to rise as shown, but on the return movement it descends and grips the sheet against the bar d, drawing it against the side lay h. The device may be used at either side of the board. If desired, the cam &c. a may be so arranged as to grip and move the sheet during the forward instead of during the return motion of the slide. The side lay h may be provided with curved pins i, Fig. 4, which engage over the sheet and prevent it from buckling as it is stopped.

Title: Improvements in Warp-stop Motions especially applicable to Looms
Inventor: RICKETSON HARRY J
Filed: 1906-01-29
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 2217. Ricketson, H. J., and Chesborough, F. D. Jan. 31, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom stop-motions ; lease-rods ; yarns, warping.- In a warp stop-motion, specially applicable to looms, each detector e is made to straddle over the loops formed by twisting together two contiguous warps in such a manner that it drops when either warp breaks. The warps may or may not be crossed by means of lease-rods G. The detectors are preferably made of thin metal, with long legs e slightly flared at their lower ends and with shoulders e<3> to contract the entrance to wide but shallow eyelets, which prevent the detectors from jumping up and down on the threads. The detectors rest on a wooden, hard-rubber, or other thin and deep insulating guide-bar F, mounted adjustably on brackets N and provided with electric terminals M. A fallen detector connects the latter, thus completing a circuit and stopping the loom. The lease-rod G is mounted in sliding pieces g on the brackets N, and is supported by a spring g<1> and limited in its upward movement by a screw g<2>, so that the leaserod can yield to the downward pull of the warp. The bracket N is adjustably mounted on the loom framework by the aid of slots n, n<1> on the former and slots j, j<1> on the latter or otherwise. The invention is applicable to a mechanical stopmotion.

Title: Improvements in Carding Engines
Filed: 1906-07-10
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 15,559. Witham Bros., and Lord, J. July 10. Guards, controlling by movable parts of machinery.-Relates to the mechanism described in Specification No. 26,010, A.D. 1905, for locking the cylinder cover of a carding-engine so as to prevent it from being opened while the belt is on the fast pulley, and consists in providing means to prevent the cover from being opened until the moving parts of the carding-engine have actually come to rest. Surrounding the locking-stud e is a sleeve f on which is adjustably mounted a lever i carrying a finger or catch j shown resting on a strip of metal secured to the pedestal m. A leg i<3> working in a slot in the strip of metal serves to steady the sleeve and its connexions. When the pin e is pushed into the slot in the arm b, it carries the sleeve f with it, and the catch j slides over the metal strip l and falls into the position shown in dotted lines. Projections o, secured to the end of the cylinder n and a projection l<1> extending backwards, prevent the catch j from being raised during the rotation of the cylinder. The belt-fork may therefore be moved to shift the belt from the fast to the loose pulley but the cover is kept locked until the cylinder comes to rest, when the catch j may be raised, the sleeve f drawn out of the slot in the arm b, and the cover opened as usual. As shown in Fig. 4, the stud e is secured to an extension of the belt-fork d and the arm i works in a slotted bracket k. The catch j, which rests on the framework p when the machine is idle, has a projection j<1> which limits its motion. The door a is locked by the sleeve f which engages a slot c in a finger b attached to the door. A blank or lug q<1> connected to a lever q is brought into the track of the stud e and sleeve f when the cover is opened, thus preventing the movement of the belt from the loose to the fast pulley. When the door is closed, the lug q<1> is pushed into the position shown in dotted lines. In Fig. 5 an arrangement is shown in which the sleeve f is dispensed with. The stud e is made integrally with a cross-piece t, adapted to slide on the shaft or spindle t<1> upon which the belt fork slides. An arm u, also integral with the cross-piece t, carries the lever i to which is attached the catch j. A lug q' prevents the movement of the belt on to the fast pulley when the cover is open as before. According to the Provisional Specification, the catch j may be maintained in its lower position by notches or projections in the flange of the fast pulley or other suitable disk or wheel.
