Title: Improvements in or relating to Yarn Warping and Beaming Machines.
Inventor: KELLETT BENJAMIN
Filed: 1901-09-25
Granted: 1902-08-28
Abstract: 19,114. Kellett, B., and Barker, H. Sept. 25. Yarns, warping and beaming.-The swift A, of ordinary construction, is driven by gearing B<1> from a shaft C which carries a friction pulley D engaging with a friction disc J, driven from the main shaft A. When the machine is to be started, the pulley D, which is free to slide along its shaft, is traversed by means of a screw E until it is opposite the central part of the disc, which is then forced against the pulley by means of a hand-lever F<1>, shaft F, levers K, and cam of ordinary construction. After the machine has been started, the pulley D is traversed towards the outer part of the disc, thus causing an increase of speed without unduly straining the threads. In order to obtain a quick change in the gear for driving the warp beam which receives the combined sections from the swift, one of the beaming-shafts L<1> is provided with a wheel L, driven by a change-wheel K<2> on the shaft H, and an intermediate wheel K<3> supported by a radial arm M ; the wheel K<2> is held on the shaft H by a fork projecting from the arm M. When a required length of yarn has been wound, the machine is stopped automatically by means of a lever W, on the shaft F, actuated by a spring bar U, which is released by a toothed wheel Q mounted in sliding bearings. This wheel gears with a wheel P, and arms R, S are secured adjustably to the wheels P, Q respectively. When the arms come into contact, as the wheels rotate, the wheel Q is forced backwards, and the spring bar released. To facilitate the leasing of the threads, they pass through a reed mounted upon an oscillatory frame carrying cross-bars adapted to depress or raise the threads at the back of the reed, when the frame is oscillated ; the reed is vertical, and remains so during the oscillation. A narrow movable reed W<1>, mounted upon a bar W<2>, is employed for facilitating the work of finding and piecing broken ends.

Patent GB-190227660-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for the Manufacture of Horse Shoes and the like
Inventor: CAREY JOHN NOEL
Filed: 1902-12-15
Granted: 1903-12-15
Abstract: 27,660. Caray, J. N., McKenzie, J., and Belcher, G. G. Dec. 15. Bending; rolling.-A machine for making horseshoes &c. comprises a pair of rolls and a bending- apparatus. The bar, after passing through the fullering-rolls a, b, is bent round the former i by a lever k rotating with a roller and a segmental supporting-plate s. On the roller leaving the end of the bar, the plate passes from under it and the shoe falls through a recess o. The rotation of the bending-lever and of the rolls may be derived from the shaft r ; a clutch q<5>, disengaging the bevel gearing p, j, may be provided for putting the forming-mechanism out of operation. For making shoes of different size and shape, the roller is radially adjustable in the lever. The curvature of the side of the former i is less than that of the corresponding part of the shoe, so that the greater proportion of the strain is borne where the roller passes round the fore part i<7>, Fig. 3<a>, and the bar is thus locked in the holder i<2> during the operation. The bars are fed to the rolls by a cross-bar u<1> which slides over a flanged feeding-trough v and is adjustable on a rod u carried by an arm t suitably fixed on the spindle c of the upper roll. One of the rolls has an adjustable part b<3>, Fig. 5, while, for forming the tips or flanges, the groove b<5> is diverted inwardly at one or more points a<8>. A hand forming-mechanism consisting of a lever k<4> turning on the spindle of the former and having a roller k<5>, may also be provided.

Patent GB-190303596-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Low Power Telescopes and in Objectives therefor.
Inventor: KOENIG ALBERT
Filed: 1903-02-16
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 3596. K÷nig, A. Feb. 16. Telescopes. - In low-power telescopes of the prismatic type, with a large field of view, the necessity for the employment of large prism elements is avoided by fitting prisms, as shown, partly before and partly behind the objective. The light rays entering the prism a are totally reflected into the objective, from which they pass into a second or Amici-prism d, on the vertical face of which total reflection again takes place. The lateral rectification of the image is effected by reflection from roof surfaces meeting in the edge d<1>, d<0>. The image is finally formed in the focal plane BE of the eyepiece e f. In a modification, one part of the objective system is placed behind the second prism d, In another, shown in Fig. 3, both prisms are placed before the objective, and the entrance-pupil EP occurs between them. This unusual position of the entrance-pupil, in conjunction with a large field of view, necessitates an objective with a large relative aperture and giving an anastigmatically-flattened image. Such an objective system is shown in Fig. 3. The necessary numerical optical data are given in the Specification.
Patent GB-190311624-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Vaporizers and Burners for Hydrocarbon Oils.
Inventor: PERILLAT CHARLES DESIRE
Filed: 1903-05-21
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 11,624. Perillat, C. D. May 21. Vapour lamps and burners.-Relates to a vaporizer and burner for kerosene and other hydrocarbon oils. The mixing-tube a, Figs. 4 and 5, is surrounded by a tube b carrying perforated diaphragms c, d, Fig. 4. A hollow boss h, Fig. 5, on the casting e, which supports the tubes, communicates with the space i between the tubes, and also communicates by a pipe j and chamber k with the space s, Figs. 4 and 5, between tubes r,p, which surround the vaporizer 7. The upper end of the vaporizer fits into a tube g on the casting e, air tubes 31, Fig. 4, being also carried by tubes f on the casting. The cap 8 of the vaporizer has an orifice, which is controlled by a needle valve 9, which works in a guide-tube 10 secured liquid-tight to a nut 12. The valve may thus be withdrawn without escape of oil. The nut screws into a fitting 13 having an oil inlet 14. A stud 21 on the tube 7 is attached by a bayonet joint to a boss o on the cap plate m. A set-screw passes through a slot in the collar 23 into the boss o and locks the vaporizer in position. The needle is locked in position by a set-screw 18 on a frame 17, which screws on to the nut 12. The entire vaporizer may be withdrawn from the burner, for cleaning purposes, while the burner is in position. A projection on the plate m, Fig. 5, fits over the end of a gas or other bracket 36, and is secured by a nut 35. The ignition maybe started by means of gas or alcohol. When gas is used, it passes through a tube 33 and is ignited inside the casing 30. A shield 40 is arranged inside the casing, opposite the gas inlet, and reflects the flame back on to the vaporizer. When alcohol is used, it is placed in a cup 45, Fig. 4, and passes to a chamber q surrounding the auxiliary burner t, where it is ignited. When the vaporizer is hot enough, the vapour passes through the cap 8 into the tube a, air being drawn through the tubes 31. Some of the vapour and air ascends, and is ignited at the cap d. Some descends and passes out through the auxiliary burner t, where it is also ignited. The gas or alcohol is then turned off.

Title: Improvements in Fenders for Tramway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: HIPWOOD GEORGE
Filed: 1903-06-16
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 13,443. Hipwood, G. June 16. Wheel guards and obstruction - removers. - A fender for tramway and like vehicles consists of a main horizontal fender 23 and a vertical swinging portion or bumper guard 48. When the fender is not to be used, the vertical part is folded down on to the main fender, and the parts are slid along the rails 10 and housed under the car. Fig. 1 shows the position of the parts when they are drawn out and arranged for use. The main fender 23 is pivotally supported at 22 by arms from a longitudinally-travelling plate 11, and has extensions 39 provided with spindles 40 extending horizontally inwards for a limited distance. These spindles have webs 43 and sleeves 41 connecting them with the corner pieces 44. Each corner piece is practically a socket from which extends a stud 45 passing into a hole in a cam-plate 54, a side bar 46 of the swinging portion of the fender, and a cam-foot 50 which, resting on the part 39, holds the front end of the main fender in a raised position. The fender is locked in its normal position by a bolt 59 passing through a slot in the cam-plate 54 and a suitable hole in the plate 11 into a notch on the stop 18 fixed to the rails 10. A series of shoes 32 are held in advance of the fender by intermediate springs 31, and are supported by U -shaped rods 28 moving horizontally in the fender. On pressing a pedal 87, a disc lever 83 is rotated against a spring 88 and a link 81 turns a crank-plate 75, Figs. 4 and 5, which pulls down a bolt 79 and releases the bail 93, thus allowing the bumper guard to swing forwards and the main fender to drop on to the track. To slide the fender under the car, the chain 94 is detached and the bumper guard is folded down upon the main fender. In this movement, the studs pull forwards and downwards the plates 54, until the notches 58 bear on and press down the spindles 40, thus lifting the front of the fender. The cams 57, extending horizontally from the plates 54, press out the forward ends of the springs 60 and withdraw the bolts 59, the fender then being free to slide under the car. When to be put into use, it is drawn forwards as far as the stops 18 will allow, and the bumper guard swung up. This allows the springs 60 to push the bolts 59 into the notches on the stops, lifts the plates 54 off the spindles 40, and forces up the front of the main fender by the camfeat 50 pressing down the parts 39. The bail is caught over the upper end of the bolt 79, which is forced up by the spring 88, and the fender is then ready for use.
