Patent GB-190111672-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of Making Pipe Joints and Apparatus in connection therewith, being specially applicable to the Frames of Velocipedes.
Inventor: WRIGHT EDMUND
Filed: 1901-06-07
Granted: 1901-09-28
Abstract: 11,672. Wright, E. June 7. Casting and moulding.-Relates to the joining of tubes by casting aluminium or an alloy round the joint. The invention is specially applicable, and is described with reference, to the manufacture of cycle frames, but may be applied to autocar frames, hand-railing, or tubing generally. Figs. 1 and 2 show a divided chill mould for making the joints between the bead a and top tube d. The part A is hinged at b<1> to a standard T, the part B being connected to it by cottars N. The mould is held in the vertical position resting on a bracket V by a catch c<1>, but may be turned down for heating by a gas ring or for inserting the tubes, when it rests on a bracket W. The tube a is held up by an adjustable stop L, and the tube d by rods o with an adjustable yoke m, the tubes being further held by collars s. A core M, operated by a screw and handle F, is adjusted in the mould, and pistons i on rods j are inserted in the tubes. The metal is run in through a gate g, pressure being applied by a screw plunger C as the metal commences to solidify. The core M is first withdrawn to prevent fracture in cooling, and then the plunger C, and finally the mould is opened by pinching-screws P after the cottars have been removed. After forming one joint, the head is reversed and the other joint made, the tube d resting in an adjustable stop R. The piston i for the tube a is made collapsable, so that it may be withdrawn through the cast liner c. In joints where a through passage is unnecessary, the movable pistons may be replaced by a metal thimble pinned in place to limit the entry of molten metal into the tubes, the cross-pins also serving to hold the cast metal in place. In the joint shown in Fig. 1, short rivets are placed in the tube end to project both externally and internally into the cast metal. Slightly different forms of moulds are described for casting the fork crown, bottom bracket, and seat lug, that for the bottom bracket being a four-part mould. To prevent fracture of the cast metal by contraction during cooling, the tube ends are coated in bands with borax, glass, or other substance more easily fusible than the metal, this substance being fused and squeezed out as the metal contracts.

Title: Improvements relating to Scales for Automatically Indicating the Price of the Article Weighed.
Inventor: SPAULDING ELIJAH FRANK
Filed: 1901-10-22
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 21,171. Spaulding, E. F. Oct. 22. Value-indicating apparatus.-A computing-scale of the platform type is shown in Fig. 1, and sectional views of the mechanism are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A casing 22 is supported on the standards 21, and encloses a sliding bar 29, which is guided by a slot in the casing and is connected by a bracket 32 to a finger clamp 36, normally closed by a spring and opened by hand, so that its downward projections 38 engage with lugs on the weight poise 16, which is adjusted until the load is balanced. The free end of the sliding bar carries a roller 31 on which rests the lower curved surface of a tilting bar 40, pivoted at one end 41 to the casing. The tilting bar carries a rail 43, on which rests a roller 45 on a vertically-sliding rack 44, which is connected by gearing 58 to two axes carrying pointers 53, 54, which work over dials 52 on one or both sides of the casing 50. The casing 50 can slide along a slot in the top of the casing 22 when a dog 68 is released from the serrated edge of a price-per-lb. scale 70 on the casing 22, so that the vertical movements of the rack on the tilting beam correspond to the rate per lb. for the load being weighed. When the pointers of the dog have been put opposite the required figure, the poise is moved by the finger grip until the load is balanced, and the corresponding movement of the sliding bar tilts the lever 40 and, through the rack and gearing, actuates the dial mechanism, so that the price is shown in dollars on the graduations 75 and in cents on the graduations 53. To lessen the movement of the casing 50, the scale 70 may have a higher rate of figures on its lower ends, as shown, the dials being marked with corresponding graduations.
