Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating Acetylene or other Gas, Generated by the Addition of a Liquid to a Solid, and Adapted for Use in Combination with Cycle and other Lamps.
Filed: 1899-04-07
Granted: 1899-06-02
Abstract: 7303. Lewis, T. H., and Lux Syndicate. April 7. Acetylene lamps; velocipede lamps.-Relates to apparatus for generating acetylene &c., and adapted for use in combination with cycle and other lamps. Water is contained in a reservoir E, and flows downwards, when the valve is turned, to the generator A below, which is enclosed in a holder B connected gas-tight to the lamp above by spring clips C. The generator consists of a number of vertical tubes 1, 2, .. 12, soldered together and secured to a base forming the bottom of the generator. Each tube receives a carbide cartridge. Water enters the first tube through an opening at the bottom, and overflows from an opening at the top to an intervening space between tubes 1 and 2. It then enters the second tube through an opening in the lower part thereof, and again overflows, in this manner gradually passing to all the tubes in succession, and liberating gas from their contents. The gas passes through an opening above each tube to the burner. The carbide is preferably powdered, and five parts of it mixed with two of kieselguhr or like material. The mixture is placed in cases or cartridges, formed of vegetable gauze, stiff canvas, or cloth, or of perforated impervious material, having a bottom flange fitting closely within the tube.

Granted: 1899-12-16
Abstract: 20,743. Tourtel, J., [Rissler, P., and Bauer, H.]. Oct. 17. Quantity meters. - An integrating - meter contains an ampere - meter having a pointer a, which is periodically returned to the zero of its scale b by a crank e on a wheel f, rotated uniformly by a clock or otherwise. The pointer carries a pivoted pawl o, which is held in engagement with a ratchet-wheel m, coaxial with the pointer, during the return motions of the pointer ; the ratchetwheel m is geared to a counter, which sums the return motions due to successive deflections of the pointer.

Title: Improvements in Means for Producing Designs on Cards for Jacquard Looms or the Like.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1900-03-17
Granted: 1901-01-12
Abstract: 5126. Johnson, J. Y., [Soc. de Dessins Industriels]. March 17. Producing weaving diagrams.-The design is formed on cards for jacquard looms by the combination of a series of patterns derived from a single ground pattern, such as Fig. 2. A negative of this pattern, and another of suitable ruled paper, are successively projected upon a sensitized support to form a negative of the pattern shown in Fig. 3. Other ground negatives of various weaves derived from this pattern, such as Fig. 2, may be produced by shifting the negative of Fig. 2 as required. In order to form a figure combining some of these weaves, suitable screens are applied to the various negatives, corresponding to the parts of the figure having the particular weaves. This method may be simplified by using only the negative of Fig. 3, and displacing it as required, a series of screens being employed to cover parts of the figure after they have received the necessary impressions.

Abstract: 5821. LÚry, J. B. de, and Richardson, C. G. March 28. Incandescent gas &c. lamps. - Mantles, formed with closed upper ends, in the manner described are stated to give increased light owing to the temporary confinement of the heated gases within the mantle, and are sold before incineration, which may be subsequently performed by an unskilled person. The mantle A, prepared in the usual manner, is turned inside out, and the upper end of the mantle is gathered and firmly bound by a thread c, which has been impregnated with refractory oxides, to the inserted loop of a piece of looped and knotted asbestos or other incombustible cord B, as shown in Fig. 1. The mantle is then turned right side outwards, as shown in Fig. 2. The turning up of the lower edge e of the mantle facilitates the shaping and incineration thereof, although such turning up is not necessary.

Granted: 1900-09-01
Abstract: 10,000. Krayn, R.. May 31. Graphoscopes; magic-lanterns.-Relates to means for projecting or viewing photographic pictures in natural colours. Three diapositives, prepared from three negatives taken through red, green, and blue screens in the well-known manner, together with their respective coloured screens, are passed successively in front of an illuminated opening, each picture being momentarily arrested in front of the opening as in a kinematograph. For this purpose the pictures are mounted on a wheel which is moved intermittently by gearing similar to that employed with a Geneva stop. Six, nine, or other multiple of the three pictures may be used. Instead of a wheel, an intermittently-moved ribbon may be employed.

Moulding bricks &c.-Clay, ground gannister, or the like is fed to the moulds M by a screw J working in a hopper B, the tops of the bricks are dusted by dusting boxes F, and the bricks are compressed and marked by being forced against fixed stamps G by cams V<3>, levers V<2>, and rams V. A dusting-box and press are provided at each side of the hopper, and the moulds are carried by a slide D, reciprocated by a crank Q<3>, slotted link Q<2>, an oscillating friction-wheel P and strap O, and a rocking lever N. The shuttles or slides U of the dust boxes are operated by counterweighted levers T<2>, and tappets of the main slide D. After the pressing operation, the mould box is raised clear of the bricks by claws W carried by a crosshead X' which is reciprocated intermittently by a system of levers operated by a cam on the driving-shaft. The moulded bricks on the loose bottom mould plates m are forced up inclines e on to a side table by a slide I, which supplies fresh mould plates to the empty mould box. These mould plates are placed in a holder or box H above the slide, and are released one at a time by two sets of pivoted arms or supports a, b, of different lengths. The arms are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of cams, and are forced apart by the cams to relates the plates. Each plate falls from the long arms on to the short arms, and afterwards drops on to the carrier slide, which is reciprocated by a cam and levers Z<3>. An auxiliary inclined screw may be fitted within the hopper to assist the vertical feeding-screw J.

Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 21,308. King, J. Oct. 1. Winding-machines; building-motions.-In a machine for winding yarns and threads at a uniform tension and speed on to bobbins, pirns, or spools, or into cops, the thread-guides c are stationary, and the spindles a carrying the bobbins &c. bare reciprocated vertically, and rotated, between three pressing-rollers f, by bands r' from a cylinder r. The reciprocating movement is effected by mounting the spindles a and rollers f on sliding supports g, which are reciprocated vertically, through the medium of links p<1>, pivoted levers n, and links m, from a lever k oscillated by a cam h. To effect the winding of the yarn at a uniform speed, the cylinder r is driven at a variable speed to compensate for the varying diameter of the cops. For this purpose, the cylinder is fixed to a shaft driven by spur gearing from a shaft which is mounted eccentrically in the bearings of a spurwheel driven from the main shaft, and the spurwheel carries a bowl engaging a slotted arm fixed to the eccentrically-mounted shaft.
