Title: Improvements in Acetylene Lamps for Cycles and for other Services.
Inventor: DAVISON AUGUSTINE CAMPBELL
Filed: 1899-04-12
Granted: 1900-02-10
Abstract: 7681. Davison, A. C. April 12. Acetylene lamps ; velocipede lamps.-Cycle and other lamps are formed with a detachable carbide chamber C, which may be readily secured in position against the packing F by means of a shackle or yoke H. The vertical arms of the shackle are pivoted to the neck of the water chamber A, and the part h, which is flanged to allow the lamp to stand upon a plane surface, is curved on its upper side to correspond with the curved bottom of the holder C. The conical carbide cover C' is connected by a spring C' with the conical bottom a of the water chamber. The conical form of this bottom a facilitates the condensation and return to the carbide of vapour formed in the chamber C, and also gives an effective head of water above the screw-controlled outlet a', and enables all the water in the chamber A to be utilized. The gas generated ascends the central tube G to the burner, and the upper end of the cylindrical water chamber A is rigidly fixed to the lower part B of the spherical combustion chamber, which is divided diagonally, the lens D being preferably mounted upon the hinged upper part E.

Title: Improvements in Adjusting and Transposing Devices for Automatic Musical Instruments and other Automatically Operated Selecting Mechanisms.
Inventor: CLARK MELVILLE
Filed: 1899-05-30
Granted: 1899-08-12
Abstract: 11,261. Clark, M. May 30. Automatic instruments.-The invention relates to mechanism in which the selection of keys or the like is effected by means of perforated sheets, and is described in connection with a musical instrument, though its application is general. The principal object is to enable transposition, or an equivalent operation, to be readily effected. In the case shown, the perforated sheet E passes from a roller C on to a roller D, over a tracker-board A, with which flexible pneumatic tubes are connected. By means of a screw G, the tracker-board can be shifted laterally so as to effect transposition, the holes beyond the edges of the sheet E being closed by plates H fixed to the side frames. The spaces, if any, between the flanges on the ends of the roller C and the sheet E can be filled up by cardboard washers K, which are split along a radius to enable them to be readily applied. The take-up roller D has no flanges. The roller C can be adjusted so as to cause the holes in the sheet E to register accurately with those in the tracker-board by means shown in Fig. 5. C<10> is a squared pin which is carried by a block C' screwing on a spindle c<1> and capable of being fixed by a set-screw c<10>. Another block C<2> also screws on the spindle C', and has a ball bearing c<20> between it and a fixed block B<1>.

Granted: 1899-09-30
Abstract: 17,200. Nielsen, P. Aug. 24. Reaping and mowing machines.-Relates to the delivery apparatus for mowers for transforming them into reapers. To the knife-bar A is attached a plate C, forming an angle of 60‹ with the knifebar, so arranged that its rear end is on a level with the innermost end of the bar A. The plate C is supported by a plate E, which may be prolonged with a strip B along the knife-bar. A divider D is arranged upon the knife-bar, and has one or more rods extending obliquely behind this bar. A number of rods G attached to the strip B or the knife-bar are stretched just above the ground and about parallel with the plate C. One or more bent rods F, attached to the bar A, prevent the cut grain from being fouled by the driving-wheels &c. The cut grain is carried in an almost upright position until it arrives on a level with the inner end of the knife-bar, where it is turned from the plate C by means of the rods H. The rods G carry the butt ends of the cut grain, which is delivered, in swathes, on the ground behind the machine. In Fig. 1, the knife-bar is arranged in front of the driving- wheels, but in another form it is shown arranged in the rear of these wheels.

Title: Improvements in Safety Valves suitable for use with Hydraulic Machines, such as Cranes.
Inventor: BERRY HENRY
Filed: 1900-05-10
Granted: 1900-06-30
Abstract: 8680. Berry, H. May 10. Cranes.-Relates to safety valves for hydraulic machinery such as cranes, to prevent the rams from moving back if the pressure falls in the mains owing to fracture &c. The valve 2 in the supply passage 7, 8 is connected by its spindle 1 to a ram 19, working in a chamber 2U connected to the main by the passage 21, so that if the pressure falls the valve is closed by the pressure through the passage 8 from the main cylinders, and by the spring 14 contained in the tubular extension 9 of the valve. The spring is adjusted by the screw 16 passing through the removable cap 11. An auxiliary valve, connected to the main beyond the main valves, controls the supply to the chamber 20, so that the valve 2 can be opened for exhaust of the actuating-fluid.

Granted: 1901-08-10
Abstract: 17,910. Rothwell, J. Oct. 9. Lubricating -cans. -Relates to means for regulating the delivery of oil &c. from a lubricating- can. In the can shown in Fig. 1, the spout B is made in two parts connected by a perforated flange I, which is secured to one part of the spout, and which screws upon a ring H secured to the other part of the spout. A spindle or needle D passes through the spout and through the flange I and a cross-bar J, and is provided with a valve C, which is held normally to close the passage through the spout by means of a spring E. By pressing the end of the needle upon the bearing &c. to be lubricated, the valve is opened to allow the escape of the lubricant. The outer end of the needle D is bent or twisted so as to act as a stop for regulating the amount of opening of the valve. In applying the invention to a can with an angular spout, both parts of the spout are soldered to a perforated flange. In the case of a can with a vertical spout, the spout is secured to a screw cap which takes into the can mouth. A vent-hole is formed in the filling-cap &c., or a vent tube may be provided.
