Title: Improvements in or connected with Roller Blinds and their Fittings.
Inventor: PARKES EDWARD HENRY
Filed: 1904-02-13
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 3659. Parkes, E. H. Feb. 13. Window blinds.- A window blind is connected, at the top and at the bottom, to rollers by means of longitudinal undercut grooves so that the blind may be easily disconnected from the rollers and reversed or turned end for end. For this purpose, the top and bottom edges of the blind a, Fig. 5, are each formed with a hem a' which is inserted in the groove b<1> and held by a rod a<2>. The rod in the upper roller b is held against longitudinal movement by means of the cord pulley and one of the brackets. In the lower roller c, which is used instead of the usual lath, the rod may be held by means of a knob fixed at one end and a knob pivoted eccentrically at the other end of the roller. The blind is preferably formed with an openwork or lace insertion along oue end ; this insertion, when arranged immediately under the top roller, acts as a ventilator. An ornamental edging may be affixed by means of a second groove cut in the underpart of the lower roller c. Instead of using a hem to contain the rod and fix the blind to the roller, the end of the blind may be wound several times round the rod so as to fit tightly into the groove.
Patent GB-190411846-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Attaching Fibrous Material to Cigarette Mouthpiece Blanks.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1904-05-24
Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 11,846. Newton, P. A., [American Tobacco Co.]. May 24. Cigarette-making machines; cigarette mouthpieces. -The object is to attach cotton or other fibrous material to the blanks of mouthpieces intended to be inserted in the ends of cigarette tubes. The cotton &c., which is attached without being pasted, forms a plug which prevents the tobacco from being pushed too far into the tube, and at the same time purifies the smoke. The mouthpiece blanks are fed through the machine as a web a which passes over the guide-roll 10 to the upper and lower guide-plates 16, 15. Holes in the lower plate 15 correspond with one or more punches 21 mounted on brackets on the bar 23. The lever 27, actuated by a cam 25, raises the punches against the action of the spring 28. A guide 30, through which the cotton sliver enters the machine, is mounted on the sliding carriage 31. By the action of a spring on the carriage, the end of the sliver is placed under the punches and forced into the web by them, being held there while a cam 34, acting on a lever 35, draws back the carriage 31. A pawl 38, which holds the cotton in the guide 30 during the forward motion of the carriage, slides over the cotton during the return motion and allows it to be drawn through the guide 30. At the end of the return motion, the cotton is severed by the fixed and movable shear blades 40, 41, the latter being actuated through the links and levers 44, 45, 46 by the cam 43. A spring 47 raises the blade 41 after each stroke. As the projecting portions of cotton are drawn out of the holes in the plate 15, they are flattened against the web. The travel of the carriage 31 can be adjusted by moving the cam 34 along the shaft 26. The web, carrying strips of sliver, passes round the guiderolls 11, 12, and through the feed-rolls 13, 14 to the mouthpiece-forming mechanism.
Patent GB-190417792-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Incandescent Electric Lamps
Inventor: CANELLO JEAN MICHEL
Filed: 1904-08-16
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 17,792. Canello, J. M. Sept. 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Incandescent lamps.-In a process for the manufacture of conductive filaments, for use in a vacuum, consisting mainly of oxides of rare earths, threads of cotton or other porous material are impregnated with a solution of rare earthy salts, allowed to dry, and wound upon small formers. After being calcined by an oxyhydrogen blowpipe flame, and cut to desired lengths, they are dipped in a solution of peroxide or other salt of ruthenium or osmium, through which a current of sulphuretted hydrogen is passed. Alternatively, they may be immersed in a current of hydrogen carrying vapours of ruthenium or osmium, while also providing a suitable hydrocarbon to reduce the metallic vapours. To render the deposits on the filaments uniform, they are put on a high-voltage circuit in an atmosphere of inert gas, while a stream of hydrogen carrying vapours of ruthenium or osmium is caused to act in conjunction with the vapour of a suitable hydrocarbon. The filaments are attached to the leading- in wires by means of a solution of metallic salts which do not act on the oxides or form fusible alloys. The whole surface of the filaments is finally coated with a uniform film by heating it in an inert atmosphere, and passing a stream of hydrogen carrying vapours of some suitable thorium organic compound, or by obtaining an electrolytic deposit from a solution of thorium nitrate.

Abstract: 18,229. Wood, G. S. Aug. 23. Vestibules, c o l - lapsable, connecting cars. - The vestibules have the folds stiffened by strips c, Fig. 3, of wood veneer, metal, cotton belting, or other rigid material inserted between the two layers C', C' of fabric of which the vestibule is composed, the bends being further stiffened by several rows of sewing, rivets, or staples. To prevent injurious matter from lodging in the folds, a hood is attached, consisting of a sheet of fabric preferably incombustible and weatherproof, and wider at the ends than the middle. This is attached to the vestibule as shown in Fig. 1, by sewing, riveting, or stapling at points along the folds of the vestibule fabric, the middle being flush with the folds, and the edges sagging, as shown, to throw off rain and snow. The hood is also attached to the face-plates and may be of enamelled or waterproof duck or canvas, or a coating of paraffin may be applied.
