Title: Improvements in Manufacture of Coke ir Retort Ovens.
Inventor: WILCOX JOHN FLEMING
Filed: 1903-01-08
Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 536. Wilcox, J. F. Jan. 8. Coking.-Charges for retort coke ovens are formed with one or more passages or divisions, which serve as gas passages and obviate the vanation of texture obtained when the gases have to force passages, and also allow of expansion of the charges. The passages are formed during the usual ramming of the coal into cake or briquette form before charging, and may extend through the charges, or may be closed at the lower ends. The passages may be formed by the use of partitions or diaphragms, which are removed before or after charging. An oven is shown in section with the charge 2 and a diaphragm 4 inserted on the bottom 5 of the ramming- apparatus ; the parts 4, 5 are withdrawn before firing.

Title: Improvements in Brakes for Vehicles
Inventor: NACKE EMIL HERMANN
Filed: 1903-03-23
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 6738. Nacke, E. H. March 23. Brakes. - A flexible brake ring d is arranged inside the rim of the chain-wheel a, and consists of a replaceable outer layer, and an inner ring furnished with lugs e, g, h, i. The ring d is suspended by means of the lug e on an arm f pivoted on the fixed wheel-axle. The arm is prevented from slipping endwise by a groove and screw-pin k, and is kept in a vertical position by a rod l attached to a bracket m. A pin n, passing through the lugs g, has its eccentric middle part grasped by the forked end o of a rod which is adjustable in length, the other end of the rod being pivoted in the lug h. When the lever q, fixed on the pin n, is pulled by means of the rope r, the ends of the brake ring d are forced apart and the brake thus put into action. Releasing-springs are fitted between the lugs i.

Patent GB-190401793-A (GB)
Title: Improved Deep Boring Mechanism.
Inventor: KOSTER JAN
Filed: 1904-01-23
Granted: 1905-01-23
Abstract: 1793. Koster, J. Jan. 23. Dee p - boring.- Relates to arrangements for securing a maximum speed of descent for the cutting-tool in a deep-boring mechanism. The bar a is supported by a pivot b, and is oscillated by a crank rod c. Above the bar is an arm e which works on a pivot d at one end. The arm e carries the boring-rod h, the free end of the arm resting on springs f carried by the bar a. When the outer end of the bar a rises, the springs fare somewhat compressed, the arm e lagging behind the bar a in rising. When the bar a begins to descend, the springs expand and delay the starting of the arm e on its downward stroke. When the arm does descend, it does so under the influence of its own weight, and its speed becomes accelerated. In order that this speed may attain a maximum at the moment the chisel strikes, the pivot d of the arm e is made adjustable in its highest position. If the pivot is raised so that the arm occupies the inclined position shown in dotted lines, the springs are put out of action consecutively. The pivot d may be supported on a spring bearing. Weights may be adjusted on the arm e to bring the centre of gravity of the arm, tool, &c., at the proper distance from the pivot d to give the maximum speed of descent just when the chisel strikes.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Carburettors for Internal Combustion Motors.
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 28,362. Albion Motor Car Co., and Murray, T. B. Dec. 27. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. An improvement in carburetters, in which the air inlet is controlled by a governor, as in Specification No. 13,034, A.D. 1904, is effected by having a second auxiliary air inlet working in unison with the usual throttle valve. In Fig. 1, K is the auxiliary air inlet used in the carburetter mentioned above, and a second inlet is formed at A and controlled by the port B in the piston throttle valve D which controls the supply of air to the motor through the passage E. The ports A, E are closed or entirely uncovered simultaneously. It is stated that, if one-third of the total extra air (i.e., the air admitted by the inlet ports K, A together) required at the highest speed and maximum load is controlled synchronously with the throttle valve, the object desired will be attained. Hence the area of the port A is made one-half the area of the port K. The invention may be applied to various other forms of carburetter in which an auxiliary air inlet is controlled by the speed of the motor. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the port A opens into a chamber formed by partitions C, the remainder of the circumference forming the port E. The throttle valve D works as before. In that shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the throttle valve D rotates, and has formed in its periphery ports E, B. The additional air valve, instead of forming part of the throttle valve, may be suitably operated from it by levers, gearing, and the like.

Abstract: 6831. Cooper, T. March 31. Pile fabrics carpets ; rug.-Tufted pile fabrics, such as Axminster or Moquette carpets and rugs, are woven in such a manner that the pattern is the same on the back as on the face, and the fabrics resemble Turkey or Oriental carpets and rugs. The threads forming the fabric comprise an approximately-straight warp a, preferably of cotton, two straight warps b, preferably of jute, and a linen binding-warp c, which passes between the two warps b. With these warps there are interwoven three wefts d<1>, d<2>, d', which pass over, between, and under the warps a, b respectively. The binding-warp c passes over the weft d<1> and under the weft d<3>, and the tuft yarns e are doubled under the weft d<3>, the doubled portions being free to spread out to form the pattern on the back of the fabric. The warps may be composed of other materials ; thus the warp a may be of jute, in which case it is straight.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Operating the Warp Threads in Gauze Weaving for the purpose of Forming the Shed.
Inventor: PESTALOZZI HEINRICH THEODOR
Filed: 1905-08-21
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 16,904. Pestalozzi, H. T. Aug. 21. L o o m healds ; shedding-motions.- In looms for weaving gauze, each ground warp thread S and whip warp thread D, Fig. 3, is drawn through two or more doups or gauze - half - healds o<1>, o<2>, u<1>, u<2>. When the guide-heald F<1> is pulled downwards, by one movement of the treadle, the warp S is pulled. down to the left of the warp D under the action of the doup o<1>, as in Fig. 4, the doup o<2> offering no resistance to its movement. The warp D rises under the action of the doup u<2>. Similarly, on the other movement of the treadle, when the heald F<2> is pulled downwards and the heald F<1> rises, the warp S passes to the right of the warp D. The necessity of a back harness, or, with jacquard weaving, of mails for the back harness, is thus dispensed with, and fine fabrics can be produced, the shed being effected on both treadle movements exclusively by the gauze-half-healds.
