Title: Improvements in or connected with the Manufacture of Wire from Rolled Gold Plate, Gold or other Metals.
Inventor: PENNELLIER AUGUSTE DESIRE
Filed: 1902-03-22
Granted: 1903-02-26
Abstract: 7091. Pennellier, A. D. March 22. Wire; soldering and brazing. - Wire which is required to be cut into short lengths, the ends of which are to be united by soldering, is formed with a core of solder, to render the separate application of solder unnecessary. The wires may be formed from rolled gold plate, gold, or other metal, and is suitable for the manufacture of articles of jewellery, such as chains, rings, brooches, &c. In one method of manufacture, a tubular blank is filled with solder, and the whole is drawn down to the desired gauge. In another method, a disc is coated on one side with solder and is then pressed and drawn into hollow or solid wire. If the disc is of rolled gold plate, the films of gold and solder are arranged on opposite sides of the disc of inferior metal. The tube produced from the disc by pressing and drawing may be drawn over a rod of inferior metal, the rod being solid and coated with solder, or hollow and filled with solder, and the whole being drawn down together. In another method, the hollow rod a, Fig. 14, of gold or other metal is fluted internally and filled or partially filled with solder, the whole being drawn to a tube of the desired gauge. The rod may be drawn over a core e, Fig. 19, of inferior metal, which may be fluted and filled in with solder instead of the hollow rod, or the shell a may be formed from rolled gold plate.

Title: Improvements in Looped and Cut Pile Fabrics and Looms for Weaving the same.
Filed: 1902-04-05
Granted: 1903-04-02
Abstract: 8012. Southwell, H. & M., and Lowrie, J. April 5. Looms, pile forming and cutting in; carpets; pile fabrics.- Brussels carpets and other pile fabrics are produced with a warp pile but with the ribs or tubes, formed by the pile loops, running in the direction of the warp. The ground warps 1 pass over a beam 2, then through healds 3 and a reed 4, and o v e r the breast beam 5, after having been woven into the cloth. The pile yarns p pass from the frames 8, between guides 9, and through eyes 10 carried by harness cords 11, which pass round fixed bars 12, 13 and have their ends connected to hooks 14 attached to the upper ends of needles 15. These needles pass between the bars of a movable grating 16, and through the perforations of a comber-board 17. Beneath the board 17 is a rotary and vertically - movable cylinder 18 carrying the chain of pattern cards 19. Pile wires 21 are secured to the bars 12, and are provided at their lower ends with attachments or bars tapering at both ends 22, 23. If the pile is required to be cut, the lower ends of the wires may be trough-shaped and have blades fitted in them. During the weaving process, a shed in the ground warps is first formed, and the cylinder 18, comberboard 17, and grating 16 are raised. In consequence of these movements, some of the needles are lifted so as to cause their corresponding pile threads to travel over the bars 12 from one side to the other, and the other needles are lifted to a less extent by means of projections 20 on the needles being lifted by the comber-board. A pick of weft is next inserted and beaten up, the pile loops being formed by the wires 21. The cylinder, comberboard, and grating then descend, and the pile yarns, previously lifted over the bars 12, are brought up to the bars by the grating 16, which engages with projections 20 on the needles. A second pick of weft is next inserted and beaten up. The cylinder, comber-board, and grating then descend to their lowest positions, the grating bringing the pile yarns back to their original position, and thereby forming a second series of loops. By these means, a single pile warp is doubled on the surface of the fabric, and a two-ply surface is produced ; also a four-ply and a six-ply surface may be formed by two-ply pile warps, and three-ply pile warps, respectively. In a modification, the needles are actuated by a jacquard apparatus, the comberboards being above the jars 12, and the grating below. Doable pile fabrics, to be afterwards cut apart, may be woven in a loom of the type shown in Fig. 1, with two sets of ground warp threads, the pile loops being formed by the transfer to and from opposite sides of a fixed vertical bar to which the pile wires are attached. The harness cards may be actuated by needles or by a jacquard apparatus. For weaving tapestry carpets, the card cylinders and cards are not used, but the pile is formed over fixed wires.

Patent GB-190312101-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Arc Lamps
Filed: 1903-05-27
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 12,101. Angold, H. E., Hill, A.. W., and Maxim Electrical and Engineering Co., Sir H. May 27. Arc lamps.-In an enclosed arc lamp, the rubbing spring contacts usually employed are replaced by a flexible metallic conductor attached to the upper carbonholder. Two metal tubes a form the main support for the lamp and also act as guides for the carbon-holder B. Attached to the tubes a are three metal plates a<3>, a<4>, a<6>, of which a<3> supports the top of the lamp, a<4> the solenoids D, D', and a<6> the metal ring a<7>, which is insulated from the plate a<6>, and supports a covering (not shown) for the whole mechanism. The lower carbon-holder F is supported by springs and rodsfrom the plate a<4>, and serves to press the globe a<8> against the plate a<6>. A flexible metallic conductor is attached to the tube a, passes round the under part of a weighted pulley in the tube a and then through the slot a<2>, and is fixed to the carbonholder B. The conductor is of such a length that, when the carbon-holder is in its lowest position, the pulley is below the point of attachment of the conductor to the holder, and is thus kept taut by the weighted pulley. Attached to the cores d, d<1> of the solenoids is the rocking lever d', pivoted at its centre and attached by the link d<6> to the lifting- projection e of the clutch ring E. One end of a thrust rod e<2> is pivoted to the lifting-projection e at a point between the centre of the clutch and the point of attachment of the link d<6>, while the other end of the rod e<2> is attached by a spiral spring e<3> to the link d<6>. When the link d<6> is raised, the spring e<3> forces the releasing-end e<1> of the clutch downward until the clutch grips the carbon, when the carbon is raised and the arc struck. In a series lamp, the solenoid D<1> is connected across the arc and, when the arc has reached a certain voltage, the pull of both solenoids is balanced. As the carbon burns away, the clutch descends, until the releasing- end e<1> of the clutch touches the plate a<6> and allows the carbon to feed. In a parallel lamp, a dash-pot replaces the shunt solenoid, and the pull of the series solenoid is balanced by the weight of the core, carbon-holder, and carbon. A choking-coil is arranged in series with the lamp, and there is also a resistance equivalent to that of the arc, through which the current is directed if the lamp fails to act properly. In alternating-current lamps, the solenoid and core are mounted on springs.

Abstract: 13,438. Ross, W. June 16. Supports for vehicles not in use.-Stands for raising the back wheel of motor bicycles, and for lifting carts and other vehicles, are formed of two side frames connected at the bottom by cross-bars. The legs a, b of the frames are pivoted at c and have their upper ends inclined from each other, the cross-bar d being prolonged and curved downwards. The stand being tilted so that the free end of the bar d rests on the floor, the bicycle is backed up to it, the steps on each side of the back wheel rest in the V's formed by the upper ends of the legs and tilt the stand back. The stand is made collapsable by securing the bar d to the leg a by a thumb-screw. By forming a series of holes in the leg a to take this screw, and another series in the leg b to take a thumb-screw at c, the stand may be adjusted for bicycles of different sizes. The frames may be replaced by sides k, Fig. 3, having slots l, m and connected by a base.

Granted: 1904-01-21
Abstract: 16,122. Braselmann, G., and L³nnemann, F. July 21. Moving-beater apparatus. - Re - lates to apparatus for heating or cooling liquids generally, and more particularly applicable for heating mush-tuns. It comprises an agitator in the form of an ordinary screw propeller, having passages in the blades for the circulation of the heating or cooling agent. Two forms of the invention are described. In one form, Fig. 1, the propeller is carried by a vertical shaft 2 passing downwards through the centre of the tun and mounted in bearings at its upper and lower ends. The blades 16, which may be two, three, or more in number, are made hollow, as shown in Fig. 4, and divided into two compartments by a central partition 17 extending from the boss 15 to within a short distance of the point. These compartments communicate with separate ports 18, 19 provided in the boss and leading to central passages in the upper and lower ends respectively of the shaft 2. Steam, supplied by a pipe 5, enters the upper end of the shaft 2 from an annular passage 4 in the sleeve of the bearing, and passes through the ports 18 into the blades 16, where it circulates outwards on one side of the partition 17 and back on the other side, finally escaping through the ports 19 into the lower end of the shaft 2. An annular passage 4 is also provided in the sleeve of the lower bearing for leading the exhaust steam to the condenser 7. A pipe 11 fitted with a valve 12, operated by a shaft 13, serves for the charging and emptying of the tun. If desired, the blades may be fitted with partitions projecting alternately from the point and the boss 15 or from the sides to make the steam take a sinuous course. The upper end of the shaft 2 is fitted with a protective sleeve 20 to prevent burning of the mash. In the second form, the propeller is carried on the end of a shaft projecting upwards through the bottom of the tun. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of the ports and passages then used for the supply and exhaust of the steam. This second form may be modified so that the shaft enters the upper part of the tun and carries the propeller on its lower end.
