Granted: 1903-08-20
Abstract: 19,144. Oxborrow, F. Sept. 1. Brakes. - Relates to the brake mechanism of motor or other cycles. The plates carrying the brake shoes are pivoted within a slot formed in the clips fixed to the framework of the cycle in the usual manner. This arrangement is shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. The brake shoes are pivoted to the clips in such a manner that the axial lines of the pivots lie at an angle to each other; this causes the shoes to keep normally out of contact with the rim of the wheel. In the case of motor cars, for example, each shoe may be connected by a flexible cord forming a loop, the cord leading to the handle-bar being preferably attached to it by means of a yoke, to ensure equal action on each shoe. The hand-lever is provided with an extension, on which is fixed a metal disc u having radial teeth, and the pulley to which the brake cord is attached engages therewith, as shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 9. By loosening the nut v, the pulley t can be turned, and the brake cord s adjusted as desired. Fig. 10 shows a slight modification of the shoe, a spring o being used to keep it normally away from the rim of the wheel. Figs. 11 and 12 show a modified form of the trip described in Specification No. 18,004, A.D. 1900. It consists of a single metal plate, bent so as to enclose a piece of leather or other substance, which comes into direct contact with the pedal crank. Reference is also made to Specification No. 4092, A.D. 1902.

Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 25,907. Tillotson, J. W., Tillotson, S. S., and Stubbs, A. Nov. 25. Looms for weaving g Axminster, chenille, and like carpets. Beat-up motions. -The lay is driven by a connecting- rod from the crank shaft A. The pulley D is loose on the shaft A, and is driven by a belt from a convenient driving- shaft. Upon its boss is a pinion C gearing with a wheel E on the bottom shaft F, upon which is a similar wheel G bearing with a pinion H on the boss of a sliding clutch J. When the groundwork is being woven, this clutch J is in engagement with the fast clutch K. A cam R on the boss of the wheel G operates on a forked lever M pivoted at N to move the clutchJ when required, and a blade spring T keeps the lever M against the cam R. The clutch J is further controlled by a pivoted lever V moved at rightangles to the shaft A by a cam. The levar V has a forked wedge Z sliding between the neck P and fast collar P<1>. The shaft A is prevented from over-running by a brake 2 acting on the hub 3 of the clutch K, and operated by a cam, which also serves to bring the curved end 11 of a pivoted lever 10 into contact with a stop 13 on the hub 3. Hand-wheels 49, 50 are provided to turn the loom back or adjust the clutch, and the going part may be thrown out of gear by a treadle connected to the lever M. The cam actuating the mechanism for clearing up, or adjusting the position of, the fur is provided with an additional insertion to give two beats up instead of one. Let-off motions; warp tension, regulating.-The catcher warp 26 passes from the beam 23, under the tension roller 15, and over the roller 24 to the carpet being woven. The roller 15 is supported in pivoted brackets, and adjusts itself in the slot 20 in the lever 19, which is connected to the pawl 21 of the ratchet-wheel on the beam 23. Shedding-motions.-The treadle for operating the float-beam heald is connected to a link with a slot in which works a horizontal lever operated by the ordinary tappet or cam. In order to stitch the float warp in with the other warp when felling the carpets when finished, the horizontal lever is confined in the slot by a cottar or pin, so that the treadle and heald are operated. Picking-motions.-The tongue 37, Fig. 9, of the picking-shaft is raised clear of the hammer on the picking-wheel upon the crank shaft, when not required to pick, by a lever 34 adjustably pivoted at 35, and operated upon by a cam 39. This mechanism is employed and operates alternately at each side of the loom. Forming selvages. - The selvage needles are placed and worked within slides on the needle frame 18, and are actuated independently by the L-lever 42, which is connected by a rod or wire 43 with the pivoted lever 44, which is acted upon by a cam. The needle frame is actuated by separate means, and has no effect on the selvage needles.
Patent GB-190227112-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Valves.
Inventor: TIPPETT HAROLD P
Filed: 1902-12-09
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 27,112. Tippett, H. P., and Hayden, N. L. Dec. 9. Safety-valves.-The annular valve 9, Fig 2, closes upwards against a seat 3, and it is provided with a hollow spindle 8 carrying at the upper end a piston 11, which works in a cylinder 4 formed in the valvebox. Steam can pass to the upper end of this cylinder from the hollow spindle 8 through ports 15 in a hollow stem 13 depending from the cover 12. The ports are controlled by a valve 22 fitted steam tight in the upper end of the stem 13 and forced down on to a seat 23 by a spring 24 inside. The " mufflers " 20, 21 at the top of the valve-box are secured to a nipple 18, screwed into a head 17 on the cover 12 of the cylinder 4, by the hood 19, which covers the set-screw 29 for adjusting the compression on the spring 24. Normally, the valve 9 is kept against its seat by the pressure in the boiler. When the pressure gets too high, the valve 22 lifts and allows steam to enter the upper end of the cylinder 4 and act on the piston 11. This piston being of larger area than the valve 9, the latter is forced open, thereby allowing the steam to escape from the boiler through the passages or ports 7 outside the cylinder 4. When the pressure is reduced sufficiently to allow the valve 22 to return to its seat, the steam above the piston escapes through a port 16 in the cover 12, and the valve 9 is again seated by the pressure in the boiler. In a modification, Fig. 5, the cover 33 has no depending rim, but a central flange 34 is formed on the top of the cover through which a stem 35 on the piston 36 works. The stem 35 is provided with ports 38, and is screwed internally to receive the nipple 40, which is free to move vertically with the piston. A spring 41 may be used to keep the valve against its seat when there is no pressure in the boiler. The " mufflers " 31, 32 are screwed to the valve-box. Fig. 6 shows the spindle 42 formed in one with the piston 43.

Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 14,163. Le Tall, F. W., [Cooper-Hewitt Electric Co.]. June 25. Grant of Patent refused. Vacuum tubes; incandescent lamps.- Mercury vapour lamps are associated with other vapour lamps or incandescent lamps for the purpose of giving a combined light. Fig. 1 shows a mercury lamp 1, and a second tube 11 with electrodes 12, 15 and leading-in wires 17, 18 ; the tube may contain nitrogen, helium, or argon, to make up the deficiency of the light from the mercury lamp in red rays. A semicircular form of mercury lamp, having a cooling-chamber out of the vapour path, may be employed, and the gas or vapour tube of like shape placed concentrically with it, or an ordinary incandescent lamp connected in series or parallel may be placed near the centre of the semi-circle. The vapour lamps are preferably made by cleaning the tubes with acids and alkalies, passing a current during exhaustion, and further heating the electrodes, creating such reactions therein as might be expected in use, and subjecting the lamps to such currents as they will be operated with, before introducing the vapour or gas. Starting is facilitated by the introduction of small quantities of sulphide of mercury or certain phosphorus compounds, and also by a conducting-band 9 placed around the tube at one electrode and connected by a wire 13 to the opposite leading-in wire. An arrangement for securing a high initial potential to start the lamps is shown in Fig. 4, where, by closing a switch 27, shunted by a condenser 28, the inductance 22 can be placed across the mains 24, 25. With the connections shown, the lamp 1 will be started when the switch 27 is opened, and it may then be placed across the mains in series with the resistance 34 by closing the switch 33. By throwing the switch 30 over on to the contact 32, the lamp 11 may be started, and subsequently connected to the mains by means of switch 36.
