Title: Improvements in Machines for Inserting Cotton in Cigarette Wrapper Tubes
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1902-04-02
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 7747. Newton, P. A., [Patterson, R. L.]. April 2. Cigarette-making machines; cigarettes.-Relates to apparatus for inserting a plug of cotton or other material into cigarette-wrapper tubes, which may be used in connection with a machine for making cigarette - wrapper tubes with fringed mouthpieces, such as described in Specification No. 5422, A.D. 1901. Fig. 1 shows a plan and Fig. 2 a side elevation. A sliver of cotton led from the tank 29 over the trough 26 under the bifurcated spring 30, and between the shears 16, 18, is held by the cam-actuated clamps 40, 41. As the reciprocating rod 1 moves to the left it operates the lever 4 by the adjustable rod 3, and the wrist-pin 9 in the fork 10 moves the slide 12 to the right and with it the plate 20, causing the slide 23, trough 26, and spring 30 to move to the rear, and remain stationary while the pin 22 traverses the horizontal part of the cam-slot 21. The movement of the plate 11 to the right, by means of the groove 14 and pin 15, operates the movable member 16 of the shears to cut off a piece of the cotton. The bifurcated rod 32, operated by means of the slide 31, bell crank 33, 37, cam-groove 35, and pin 34, and lever 4, moves to the right and catches the detached piece of cotton, released by the raising of the clamp 41 by a rotary cam, and pushes it through an aperture into the wrapper tube held in the V-shaped head 176. As the rod 1 moves back to the right, the rod 32, slide 12, and plates 11, 20 move to the left, the cam-groove 14 raises the movable shear-member 16, and the cam-groove 21 brings forward the slide 23, trough 26, and spring 30, again advancing the cotton between the opened shears 16, 18 to the clamps 40, 41.

Title: Improvements in Knocking-off Mechanism of Looms for Weaving
Inventor: HOMFRAY HENRY JAMES
Filed: 1902-10-15
Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 22,396. Homfray, H. J., and Lorimer, W. H. Oct. 15. Loom stop-motions.-Comprises operative connections between the knocking-off lever and the knockeroff at the end remote therefrom, to be used in addition to the ordinary mechanism for stopping the loom when the shuttle fails to enter the shuttlebox. A cranked arm i is attached to the knockeroff d, and is provided with a buffer h. When the knocker-off is operated, the buffer h strikes a similar buffer g on a cranked arm f, and turns a rocking shaft a, which is suitably journalled, thus causing the pin k on a cranked lever j to actuate the knocking-off lever e, and stop the loom in the usual manner.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Vulcanizing and Moulding Rubber.
Inventor: SMITH RICHARD HALE
Filed: 1903-01-13
Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 868. Smith, R. H. Jan. 13. Type.-Sheets of rubber type are moulded or vulcanized in a hot press consisting of a closed boiler A, Fig. 2, having a flat upper surface and shelf p, and a steam box B having a flat lower surface, between which surfaces a plate x with the mould and rubber can be introduced, and then compressed to a definite thickness by toggles s, r operated by a handle r<4> on a stand C. The handle r<4> connects two levers r, which are pivoted at r<2> to lugs in the ends of the stand C, and at s<2> to links s ; the links are attached to rods q, which slide in guides on the boiler A and carry the box B. The boiler is adjustable vertically by screws a<1> supporting it on lugs in the stand C. A gas burner may be placed within the stand, which forms a nearly-closed casing to prevent waste of heat. The bottom of the boiler is deeply corrugated to increase its heating-surface. The boiler is connected with a joint piece, which carries a filling cock and funnel, a draw-off cock, a pressure gauge, and a safety-plug. The steam box B is connected to the boiler by two brass tubes g, which extend from end to end of the press and are sufficiently flexible to allow the necessary relative movements of the box and boiler. The tubes are secured rigidly at their ends by loose sleeves o<3>, Fig. 4, which are screwed into the boiler or box so as to force shoulders n, brazed on the tubes, against lead or other packing in bevelled recesses in the boiler or box.

Patent GB-190312484-A (GB)
Title: Means for Transforming Electric Waves, applicable to Wireless Telegraphy and the like.
Inventor: BRAUN FERDINAND
Filed: 1903-06-02
Granted: 1903-09-24
Abstract: 12,484. Braun, F. June 2. Telegraphs.-Relates to arrangements for increasing the electric wave energy transformed in apparatus such as the transmitters and receivers used in wireless telegraphy, without altering the frequency of the oscillation circuit. The transformer coil being in unison with the oscillation circuit, changes in the coil to admit of an increase in the energy transformed must be accompanied by corresponding changes in the circuit to maintain the unison. By using two similar transformer coils b<1>, b', Fig. 2, exactly in resonance and in parallel in the oscillation or spark-gap circuit, the self induction is reduced, and this reduction is compensated for by the use of a doubled capacity c, thus maintaining the frequency at the same value, as originally. The secondary transformer coils d<1>, d<2> are placed in series in the secondary circuit, to increase the tension in this circuit. The application of this arrangement to a transmitter is shown in Fig. 3, the tuned primary coils b<1>, b<2> being in parallel in the primary circuit I, and the tuned secondaries d<1>, d<2> in series in the earthed air-conductor s. At the receiver the air-conductor is divided into three branches in parallel containing the condenser and the two primary transformer coils ; the secondary coils and coherer are in series. In another arrangement, the tuned primaries b<1>, b<2>, Fig. 5, are kept in the oscillation circuits I, I<1> to which they are tuned, and these circuits I, I<1> are connected either in series, as shown, or in parallel. The secondary coils d<1>, d' are correspondingly arranged in series or in parallel in the air-conductor s.
