Title: Improvements in Stoves.
Inventor: BECKER MAX
Filed: 1902-01-17
Granted: 1902-02-27
Abstract: 1326. Beoker, M. Jan. 17. Air-heating gas &c. stoves; air-moisteners; ovens. -The stove is enclosed within a casing h, which is provided with inlet openings m for air to be heated, outlets n for heated air and gaseous products of combustion, a door leading to the oven d, and tubes i for introducing water to the water seals f. Within the casing is a receptacle a, forming a grate or a space for the gas burner, above which are placed in succession the hollow drums b, c, e. Each drum has at its bottom a short open-ended tube dipping into a water sealmounted on the top of the next lower drum. The largest drum is provided with the hot chamber d for baking, boiling, warming, or the like. If gas is used, the heated air and products of combustion, mixed with water vapour, escape together into the air, and may be drawn off by a fan rotated by the escaping vapours. If solid fuel is used, the heated air and products of combustion are kept separate, the latter being led to a flue.

Title: Improvements in "Crisping" or Doubling Cloth and other Fabrics
Inventor: MCKEAN JAMES
Filed: 1902-08-05
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 17,248. McKean, J. Aug. 5. Folding; measuring; straightening or spreading. -Machines for crisping or doubling fabrics are constructed with an inclined triangular saddle or table fixed to a frame d provided with transverse slats h across the back and top. The fabric is drawn from a pile a along the slats h and over a table, whereby it is folded, and the attendant, standing below the table, keeps the selvages a<1> together as the fabric passes from the rounded apex o of the table and is directed under a hori- zontal guide or crisping roller j placed at one side of the apex. The folded fabric next passes between a pair of rollers which serve to draw it through the machine, these rollers being suitably driven from the folder. The frame d is mounted on rollers, which may be adjusted on rails f so that the fabric when folded passes below the central part of the roller j. The roller j may serve to measure the fabric by fitting an indicator to it and covering it so as to prevent slip. When the fabric is to be folded, the drawing-rollers deliver it into a recep- tacle where a sufficient quantity is maintained to allow for the intermittent action of the folder. When desired, the fabric is wound on a flat board or roller which replaces the drawing-rollers and is driven at the required speed. Crisped or doubled fabric may be opened or straightened out by drawing it the reverse way over the table.

Title: Improvements in Belt Fasteners.
Inventor: HERWIN WILLIAM RUFUS
Filed: 1902-10-23
Granted: 1903-03-05
Abstract: 23,093. Herwin, W. R., and Canny, H. Oct. 23. Belt and band fastenings.-Plates are cut from sheet metal, provided with apertures, and bent to the form shown in Fig. 2, after which they are attached to the ends of the belt to be joined and connected by a link, such as J, which enters the blots B. The links are secured by pins or the like, which are retained in place by bending over the ears or projecting pieces D. In the case of wide belts, wide plates with several slots and corresponding links are employed. The links, however, may be dispensed with, in which case the projections on the one end of the belt enter recesses on the other, a pin being passed through to form a hinge joint, and the retention of the pin being effected by the turning down of the ears as before. The inner surfaces of the clips may be roughened to grip more effectually the belts to which they are attached. For connecting belting of truncatedcone or like section, as used for example upon motor cycles, the plates may be broader above the belt than below, and of sufficient widths to embrace the surface of the belting. The lower parts of the fasteners may be covered with leather to prevent slip.

Two sleeves f, g, which may be engaged by the sliding clutch h, are provided with pinions k, mgearing directly with the faceplate n and, through a train of wheels, with the pinion o on the spindle p, which rotates and is movable longitudinally in the faceplate spindle. The spindle p is socketed at r for a drill or centering- tool, and the plate n is provided with a tool-box s, which is moved radially by means of the screw t, bevel pinions u, v, the spur-wheel z<1> on the loose sleeve v, the fixed pinion w, and either of the pairs of differential wheels y, z, according to the direction in which the tool-box is to be moved. The wheels y, z are mounted on a slide x. The work is fixed in self-centering vices, and then operated on by the facing-tools, and afterwards by the centering-tools, but, when one headstock only is used, the work must be turned round when one end is faced and centered.

Title: Improvements in Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
Filed: 1902-11-13
Granted: 1903-10-08
Abstract: 24,926. Jardine, E., Watchorn, E., and Dalby, J. Nov. 13. Lace machines.-Relates to means for supporting and adjusting the comb-bars of "go-through" or other " Levers'" lace machines. The comb-bars E are provided with brackets or feet F having curved lower faces resting on corresponding surfaces on the brackets B, C which project inwards from the end standards. Two additional points of support are thus obtained. Additional catches G pivoted on the rod H are employed for holding the combbars in their raised positions or in their normal positions. The comb-bars are longitudinally adjusted and held in position by means of a bolt and nuts. The bolt has a projection, which can slide in a groove D' and which engages a groove F<1> in the foot of the bracket F resting on the ordinary central support. Whilst free to move on the support D, the comb-bar is held longitudinally at the centre instead of at the ends ; expansion is thus allowed, and the bar has no tendency to buckle.

Abstract: 11,003. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin Fabrikation]. May 14. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphurized dyes, which dye cotton bright-green tints of great fastness, are produced by boiling an aqueous solution of alkalipolysulphide, or sodium sulphide and sulphur, in the presence of copper sulphate or other salt, with indophenols of which the simplest is that derived from p-amidophenol and #-naphthylamine. The indophenols derived from homologues of p-amidophenol, or o-chlor-p-amidophenol and alpha-naphthylamine or alpha-naphthylamine sulphonic acids having no sulphonic acid group in the para position to the amido group, may be used. The dye obtained from the simplest indophenol is a dark-green powder insoluble in water, easily soluble in alkali sulphides, and slightly soluble in caustic alkalies to greenish solutions and in concentrated sulphuric acid to a bluish solution. The leuco compounds of the indophenols may be used.
