Inventor: PISKO EMANUEL
Filed: 1898-05-12
Granted: 1899-04-08
Abstract: 10,880. Pisko, E. May 12. Cigars.-Relates to rolling-tables for making cigar bunches. The rolling-table H is mounted to slide on guides I on the framing, and is connected by a rod S to a lever R operated by a rod U and cam W on the shaft F. The bunching-roller M is carried by the upper end of a lever frame K operated by a rod N and a cam P. The levers R and K are pivoted at J.

Title: An Improved Thread or Wire Winding Machine, applicable for Making Hosepipes, Belting, and other Articles.
Inventor: HUBBARD JOHN
Filed: 1898-06-01
Granted: 1899-05-27
Abstract: 12,342. Hubbard, J. June 1. Hose and other flexible pipes.-Relates to machines for winding thread or wire in a spiral direction on endless rings or loops to produce hose pipe or other flexible tubes, layers of pneumatic tyres, and fabric bands for tyres and the like. The machine is shown in plan in Fig. 1. The endless belt F passes round a large part of the mandrel circumference, so revolving the mandrel G. The tubes or mandrels on which the threads or wires are wound may be of wire or steel strip, of rubber or other tubing, and may be inflated with air or filled with sawdust, s a n d, or otherwise distended, so that they may be easily removed. The revolving winder H is operated by spur gearing, and may be readily removed and replaced. The threads or wires are laid down parallel, and the threads of one layer cross those in another. The reversing-motion is brought about by means of the clutch arrangement c<6>. The angle at which the thread or wire is wound is regulated by expanding or contracting the driving-roller shown in Fig. 4. By turning the handle d<8> of the driving- roller in one direction or the other, the conical discs d, d' expand or reduce in diameter the elastic band d<3>, so providing means for effecting a minute change in the speed of the driving-band. The tubes or bands produced may be covered with rubber. In the Provisional Specification it is mentioned that the movements of the winder and mandrel may be derived the one from the other by means of a stiff spiral.

Title: A New or Improved Toy Gun.
Inventor: CALKINS WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1898-11-22
Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 24,689. Calkins, W. H., Lindberg, C. A., Butts, W. M., and. Wheeler, A. K. Nov. 22. Toy guns.-The magazine toy air gun is shown in section in Fig. 1. The barrel a' is contained within an outer tube A which is secured to the stock by an easily-removable key. The actuating- mechanism consists of the pivoted lever F, F<1>, the shorter arm of which engages one end of the rod E which, passing through the rear of the two pistons C<11>, C', retracts the pistons against the spring D until they are caught by the sear G. The same movement draws back the slide K, into which, when the barrel is downwards, a shot from the magazine N drops and deposits the shot in the barrel through the port P<1>. On this taking place, the continued retraction of the pistons causes a release of the slide, which is then drawn back by the spring M to its normal position, ready for the receipt of another charge. The movement of the slide may be made by hand instead of being effected automatically. The magazine is carried in bands n, n<1>, and is held from sliding longitudinally by the rim of the cap o<2> entering a notch in the barrel.

Title: Improvements in Travelling Flat Carding Engines.
Inventor: TAYLOR ROBERT
Filed: 1898-12-09
Granted: 1899-10-14
Abstract: 26,012. Taylor, A. Dec. 9. Carding-engines.-Relates to means for connecting and disconnecting the flats from the chains. Between the links 1 of the chain is a shank or distance-piece 4 carrying a tube, of which the lower half is cut away for the greater portion of its length and the remainder is cut away for only about a third of the diameter of the tube, so as to form inwardly-directed projections 5. A stud 6 of two diameters is screwed into the end of the flat, and, when partially withdrawn as shown in Fig. 3, can be detached from the tube of the shank 4, but when in position and screwed up into the flat is locked to the tube by reason of the larger diameter of the stud engaging with the projections 5. The stud in the flat may have flattened sides, as described in Specification No. 14,750, A.D. 1898, in which case the tubular part of the shank would have only a third part of its diameter cut away throughout its whole length. Or the links of the chain may be pivoted together by means of internally-threaded bushes into which studs for engaging with the ends of the flats are screwed.

Title: Improvements in Asphaltic Fluxes and in the Manufacture thereof.
Filed: 1899-06-05
Granted: 1899-07-08
Abstract: 11,687. Wise, W. L., [Calmer, G. F., and Culmer, G. C. K.]. June 5. Asphalts.-Relates to fluxes derived from petroleum residues for incorporation with natural asphalts to form asphaltic cements for paving and roofing purposes, lining water reservoirs, coating iron or other metal pipes, &c. Petroleum residuum of about 18‹ to 22‹ BÚ sp. gr. is heated in an open kettle to from 300‹ to 450‹ F., watery vapours being given off during the process. Air is then forced through the liquid in considerable quantities, the temperature being maintained constant. The resulting oxidation causes the proportion of asphaltine, as determined by extraction with carbon bisulphide, to increase from a small percentage to one-fourth of the whole amount, the specific gravity remaining, however, almost unchanged. The flux so prepared is combined in the proportion of 50 to 80 per cent. with Trinidad asphalt, uintahite, gilsonite, wurtzelite, elaterite, or other bituminous materials for the purposes named above. Heavy crude oils, such as are found in California, may be substituted for the petroleum residuum.

Granted: 1899-08-26
Abstract: 13,338. Marks, G. C., [Larson, A. L.]. June 27. Brakes.-Relates principally to motor vehicles. The brake apparatus comprises a brake drum and brake shoes, Fig. 17, and a foot-lever for operating the same, Fig. 19, furnished with a locking-device. The brake drum 32. is on the motor shaft, and the brake shoes 37, 37 are separately pivoted to the motor casing. The brake shoes have extensions pivoted to the lever 42, and are provided with a releasing-spring 39. The lever 42 is connected by a line or cable passing over a pulley on the vehicle body with the foot-lever 45. This carries a pedal plate 46, with a prolongation 48 forming a detent capable of engaging with a fixed ratchet sector 49 so as to lock the brake. Suitable springs are provided for acting on the lever 45 and pedal plate 46 to keep the parts in engagement, except when suitably operated by the foot.

Granted: 1900-07-04
Abstract: 13,773. Thompson, S. P., and Walker. M. July 4. Electric railways and tramways on a road contact system, with switches operated by magnets on the vehicle. Conductors; switches.-In Fig. 2 the car carries two skates 25, 26 in tandem, and the studs 1 are normally connected to the low-potential main 22, but are connected to the high-potential main and then restored to the low-potential by the passage of car magnets 23, 24 over them. These magnets act through vertical moving plungers 6 under the studs 1, and the plungers move the switch arms 17 by means of ratchet gearing and crank discs 13 or otherwise. In some cases an exposed stud 27 is lifted by a magnet on the car, as shown in Fig. 3. This stud is carried by a lever 28 pivoted at 29 in an insulated mounting 30 under the non-magnetic lid of the box, which is provided with a drip flange 38. The flattened part of the lever 28 works between lugs 31 on the cast-iron box to reduce the magnetic reluctance. The pivot 29 may pass into a water-tight box to carry an arm which makes contact with a feeder from the main. Or, as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 7, this arm 47 may close the circuit for a shunt current from the skate 49 through a magnet coil 50 to earth or return to lift an armature 56, which completes the circuit from the main 55 to the stud. The Provisional Specification also states that a switch armature may be moved parallel to the road by an inclined magnet on the vehicle.

Abstract: 16,422. Sayer, W. Sept. 15. Kilns.-The damper chamber or smoke flue C of a continuous kiln for burning bricks and the like is enlarged to form a drying-chamber or tunnel into which loaded trucks may be run. Beneath the drying-chamber is a flue D<1> into which the gases are discharged through a series of openings, any one or more of which may be covered by damper plates. To retain a sufficient amount of moisture in the gases to prevent the too rapid drying of "difficult" clays, the chambers of the kiln in which preliminary heating takes place are charged with partially-dried bricks.
