Patent GB-190104282-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cross-winding Machines for Thread and the like.
Filed: 1901-02-28
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 4282. Akt.-Ges. vorm. J. J. Rieter et Cie. Nov. 12, A.D. 1900, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Winding-machines. - Relates to cross-winding machines. Each spindle n is carried by a hollow lever k, which carries wheels o, p, through which the spindle is driven from the loose half l of a clutch usually held in gear with the fixed half i by a spring. The spindle, or the yarn thereon, rests upon a thread-guide 4, all the thread-guides being carried by a longitudinal rod or wire 5, which is reciprocated longitudinally by helical cams at each end thereof. As the wound yarn increases in diameter, the lever k turns upon the shaft e until a projection q thereon operates a catch lever r, and thereby releases a couple of levers t, u, when the lower curved end of the lever t rises and raises the thread out of the notch of the thread-guide 4, while the lever u, which is pivoted to the lever k above the shift e, operates a lever w and disengages the driving-clutch l, i. The levars z, x, connected by the link y, are for partially balancing the weight of the lever k. In order to regulate the speed of the traverse cam with regard to that of the spindles for winding different counts of yarn, the cam is driven through toothed gearing and a pair of cone drums, on which the strap may be adjusted as desired. On its way to the winding-spindle, the thread passes between a pair of friction discs, which are pressed together by a weighted lever 19 mounted on the end of the lever x and acting on the disc through the bent lever 20. By this arrangement, the tension on the yarn is automatically regulated as the winding proceeds.

The detachment of the braces is effected by removing the ring 9 from the clip 11. The appliance shown in Fig. 4 may be modified by securing the clip 11 to the tabs 2 and fastening the loop or ring 9 to the clasp 4.

Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 1134. Bos, F. H. Jan. 15. Keyholes, obstructing; escutcheons, keyhole.-Relates to a device arranged on a combination principle, for obstructing the keyhole of a lock for safes, strong-rooms, money boxes, &c. A number of square steel plates a, connected together by tongues and grooves, are arranged on a door plate d, and are preferably fixed to this plate by screws inserted from the inside of the door. A stem b of a glass, porcelain, &c. knob passes through each of these plates a and is riveted to a rectangular piece e loosely fitting in slots in a plate g, secured to the inside of the door, so as to allow each of the knobs to be slightly turned. The keyhole o is disposed behind one of the plates a, and by displacing certain of the plates may be exposed. Three or more of the plates a are screwed on slides m, n arranged at right-angles, so that by moving the slide m upwards and then the slide n horizontally, the keyhole is exposed. The top plate a of the slide m is preferably formed integral with the next plate, and when withdrawn it projects beyond a bevelled portion on the door plate. The slide m is locked in position by means of bolts l, k actuated by levers v, w fixed on the ends of the stems b of two of the knobs. By actuating the knobs, the slide m may be released, so that it can be moved to obtain access to the keyhole. In order to guard against the arrangement from being discovered by the operation of the knobs, two of the knobs are fitted with levers or bolts p, q, which engage the slide m upon the turning of the knobs. The slide n may be fitted with a similar arrangement of bolts. The slides are secured by guides, and the plates e secured to the knobs in connection with the guides are arranged to engage recesses in the slides &c. The number of slides and the arrangement of the locking-bolts may be varied, and the combination may readily be varied by removing a lever and inserting a longer or shorter lever connected to another knob.

Abstract: 2743. Krause, A. Feb. 3. Magnesium peroxide.-A substance containing a large percentage of magnesium peroxide is obtained by the action of sodium peroxide on a soluble magnesium salt, a minimum quantity of water being used and, preferably, an addition of alcohol being made after the peroxide has been added. The product is dried as quickly as possible, and may be subsequently washed. As an example, a saturated solution containing 6 kilos. of MgCl2 + 6H2O is prepared, and there are gradually added 2 kilos. of sodium peroxide, the temperature being maintained at 20‹ C., or lower during the reaction. One litre of alcohol is then added, and the mixture is allowed to stand for an hour, after which it is filtered and dried quickly at 80‹ to 90‹ C. The dry salt obtained is pulverized, mixed with water filtered, and thoroughly washed. It is subsequently dried at 50‹ to 60‹ C., and pulverized. It contains 27 per cent. of MgO2, and will keep for an unlimited time. Dry ammonium chloride may be added along with the sodium peroxide.

Title: Improvements in Collapsable Camp Stoves.
Inventor: MITCHELL FRED LINDLEY
Filed: 1902-05-22
Granted: 1902-10-16
Abstract: 11,707. Mitchell, F. L. May 22. Cooking stoves and ranges. -A portable collapsable camp stove is formed of a firebox 1, Fig. 1, having a hot-plate 4 for cooking, side water-heaters 29, and an oven 51. The firebox is formed of two side and two end plates 3, 2, and a top plate 4 wherein are the pot openings covered by discs 241. The platesare strengthened by angle-irons. The vertical portions of the angleiron flanges 5, Fig. 7, on the end walls are centrally secured by means of rivets 7 to spring metal plates 8, which are provided with screw-threaded apertures 9 for the reception of bolts 10. These bolts pass loosely through openings 11, 12 in the flange 5 upon the end wall and in the side wall, and receive wing nuts 13. The heads of the bolts bear against the spring plates. When the nuts are released, the spring plates cause the sides and ends to disconnect. The sides are each formed with two slots 32, Fig. 2, strengthened by plates 33, through which pass pivoted hangers 31 carrying the side hot-water tanks 29, Fig. 1. Each end has two openings 15, 17, Fig. 2, provided with hinged doors 16, Fig. 1. The door 16 is provided with two strap hinges 19, the lower ends of which are formed into hooks 21, which pass through openings in the horizontal web of a T-shaped plate 20, the openings being sufficiently large to allow the hooks to slide loosely therein, and thus permit the parts to expand by heat without binding one on the other. One of the doors 16 is let down, and a flue 34 is secured in the opening by upwardly-projecting hooks 37, Fig. 2, and by lateral hooks 38. The flue is formed of an inclined bottom 35, in which may be fitted a damper 39, and two hinged side plates 36. The side plates help to support a plate 40, the overhanging end of which is supported by hinged legs 42. The plate 40 has a central opening 46, and supports an oven casing 43. The latter has internal hangers 54 carrying track rails 53 upon which rest hooks 52. The hooks are attached to the oven 51, which is suspended thereby, and is held down in position by plate springs 55. The oven casing is formed of inner and outer plates 48, 49 with an asbestos layer 50 between, and is provided with a central top outlet 47. The lower draught door 18 is opened on that side of the fire facing the wind, and the opposite upper draught opening 16 is opened to admit the flue. The method of use can be seen from the drawings. When the weather is bad, the oven casing may be removed, and placed on top of the fire casing, to act as a hood to protect the articles cooking.

Abstract: 10,886. Little, A. J. S. B. May 13. Gas retorts. - The sliding doors of the measuring-chambers for feeding inclined gas retorts may be so formed and worked that the rate of discharge into the charging-shoots can be varied at will during the discharge of small or large coal. The measuring-chamber A is fitted, as usual with a door D for admitting the coal from the hopper B, and a door E, through which it drops into the charging-shoot C, and these doors are connected through levers F, G, H, so that, when one opens, the other shuts. The door D has the blank part d<2> longer than usual, and the door E has an additional blank part e<1>, so that, by shifting the doors further than is necessary to completely open the door E, and close the door D, the door E is partially closed again, thus controlling the rate of discharge of the coal, without allowing any coal to pass into the measuring- chamber at the top. A man on the charging stage regulates the discharge through a lever I, connected to the doors, as shown. The apparatus may be used in conjunction with fixed check slides, if desired.
