Title: Improvements in Machines for Finishing Felt Hat Bodies and the like
Inventor: MITCHELL ROBERT JOHN CHADWICK
Filed: 1904-11-21
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 25,233. Mitchell, R. J. C., and Eaton, J. Nov.21. Nap, dressing. -A machine for finishing felt hat cones or articles of like shape comprises an abrading disc or roller which may be applied to an approximately-conical article. A worm-wheel a, Fig. 1, forms a turntable, on one side of which is secured a pedestal for carrying the abrading-disc f, which is driven off the power shaft through the medium of belts and pulleys and bevel gearing i,j. An adjusting-screw g permits radial movement of the disc with respect to the turntable. The turntable a is driven by a worm connected to the bevel gearing 2, which is driven off the power shaft by a suitable transmission gear. The worm shaft is carried by a swivel arm, so that the worm can be thrown in or out of engagement with the turntable, and the rotation of the table be thereby controlled. The cone r carrying the hat body is rotated through a system of pulleys, and is capable of longitudinal movement. The cone r and headstock o may be turned up in a vertical position, to enable the hat body to be placed thereon, by turning the whole about the shaft p. One method of attaching the abrading-material to the disc f is shown in Fig. 6. A sheet of glass-paper or the like is placed over the face of the disc and the edges are clamped down by a ring gx and a screwed outer ring 1. Alternatively, the abrading-material is held by a ring controlled by spring bolts. The arrangement for clamping the hat body to the cone r is shown in Fig. 4. The edge of the hat body is drawn over the groove r<x> and under the hooked ends of the clips s. The cone v of the disc s<X> is screwed against the parts w of the clips, the latter being thereby drawn towards the centre, causing the clips to grip the hat body. A modification is described wherein a cylindrical roller is substituted for the abrading-disc.

Abstract: 10,961. Allen & Co., E., and Warlow, W. C. May 25. Points and switches, operating. Consists in providing means by which a tramway point may be adapted to work either as an automatic spring point or as a handmoved point. Fig. 1 shows a plan, and Fig. 6 a sectional elevation, of the improved point. In a box n, at the side of the point, is pivoted a doublearmed horizontal lever, the armb of which is adapted to work freely in the slot of the rod d fixed to the point tongue e. Nipples f, f<1> and pockets g, g' are provided to allow the spiral spring h to be inserted in either of two positions according to whether it is intended to be a righthanded or a left-handed spring point. When it is desired to work the point by hand, the spring is placed in the rectangular recess or pocket b<1> and arranged so as to press a plunger i, Fig: 3, outwards. The outer end of the plunger is rounded so as to engage a vertical roller j, and thus cause the spring to be compressed when the point is moved over. In a modification, the plunger is formed with a hemispherical recess, Fig. 6, in which a ball k is fitted which works in contact with an undulating path l, Fig. 1. In a further modification, the plunger is fitted with a roller or wheel instead of the ball k. Specification No. 9540, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Title: Process for Coating Paper in Continuous Lengths with Heavy Colours

Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 4590. Newton, P. A., [Dresdner Chromo-und Kunstdruckpapierfabrik Krause & Baumann]. Feb. 25. Paper, coating and colouring.-Paper is evenly and smoothly coated with colours for forming variegated paper, and chromo and art printing- paper by the apparatus shown, which allows thick colours to be applied and so facilitates drying, and in which only smooth surfaces are used so that the apparatus can be easily cleaned. The paper is passed from a roll a<1> over guide-rolls b, c, and then between two rolls d, f, which are ground truly upon each other and the distance between which can be regulated. The roll d is arranged in a colour trough e and rotates at a greater speed than the roll f, so that an accumulation g of colour occurs between the rolls, and the paper is coated by passing through this heap g. Owing to the difference in speeds of the rolls, any lumps in the colour are ground down and a uniform coating of colour is applied. In order to smooth down the colour, it is acted on by straight-edges or rollers h, i, carried by an adjustable block k which enables the edges to touch the layer of colour without pressure ; the edges &c. are reciprocated transversely by eccentrics l, m working in conjunction with springs n, o.
