Title: Improvements in Finishing Felted Fabrics with or without a Woven Foundation Felt Hat Bodies and the like
Inventor: MITCHELL ROBERT JOHN CHADWICK
Filed: 1903-04-11
Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 8390. Mitchell, B. J. C., and Eaton, J. April 11. Glossing a nd glazing; ; shearing ; designs on face, producing. -In producing a velvety surface upon solid fur and fur-faced felted fabrics, with or without a woven foundation, either in the piece or in the form of a hat body &c., instead of employing the process described in Specification No. 6118, A.D. 1901, rollers or surfaces covered with sand, emery, corundum, &c. are caused to act on the fabric. When treating the piece, the fabric x, Fig. 2, is drawn from a roll over a roller a, and between an abrading-roller d and adjustable roller f, by drag rollers j, j x, the roller d being driven in the opposite direction to the travel of the piece. In another arrangement, the fabric is drawn over a horizontal table and passes between retaining-rollers, two pairs of rollers similar to the rollers d, f, and dragrollers, or the fabric may be clipped to the table and a plate faced with abrading-material reciprocated over it. Another method consists in cutting away the woollen face or scale by rotary spiral cutters. When a stripe or design is required on the fabric, the surface carrying the abrading-material is suitably raised, these portions alone acting on the piece.
Patent GB-190310537-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Clips for Tentering Machines
Inventor: WHITLEY ALFRED AUSTIN
Filed: 1903-05-08
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 10,537. Whitley, A. A. May 8. Stretching and tentering.-The clips are constructed with an upper jaw 2, Fig. 1, mounted on a pin 3 carried by brackets 4 projecting from the link 1 to which the lower jaw is attached, and so long as the fabric 18 extends over the slot 15, the pivoted finger 5 is supported and the arm 17 supports a lever 7 mounted on the pin 3. Under these circumstances, a pivoted catch lever 10 engages an arm 13 projecting from the jaw 2 and holds the jaw clear of the fabric. When, owing to the divergence of the chains, the fabric is drawn clear of the slot 15, the finger 5 descends, and the lever 7, being no longer supported by the arm, falls, causing a projection 19 to disengage the lever 10 from the arm 13, a spring 14 then acting to press the jaw 2 against the fabric. To insert the fabric, the lever 7 is lifted so as to tilt the arm 13 and jaw 2 and cause a projection 16 to raise the finger 5. In a modification, the upper jaw 2, Fig. 5, is provided with pins, and works in guides, and the finger 5 works through a slot 15 parallel to the chain, this arrangement preventing loose threads on the selvage of the fabric from obstructing the movement of the finger.

Patent GB-190314260-A (GB)
Inventor: DAWSON WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1903-06-27
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 14,260. Dawson, W. H., and Stott, J. June 27. Cylinder machines etc.; brakes; inking-apparatus. -In cylinder machines of the Wharfedale type, the sheets are fed to the cylinder when the bed is running at its slowest speed in order that the machine may be run at a higher speed. The machine is furnished with an arrangement for stopping the cylinder and with a device for controlling the supply of ink to the duct roller. The sheets are fed to the cylinder when the crank is in the position A, Fig. 1, that is, at the termination of the inward stroke. The stop-cylinder 2 makes one complete revolution and part of a second for the purpose of printing and delivering a sheet, the grippers being then in the position 6<A>. The grippers are then brought back to the position 6 to receive another sheet. This is effected by a cam 7 acting on a lever 9, which works on a pivot 10 and is connected to a bar 11, which it causes to reciprocate. To the cylinder is attached a brake disc 13, a projection 13<A> on which encounters a projection 11<A> on the bar 11. The cylinder being thus stopped, the backward movement of the bar 11 brings the grippers back to the position 6. The same arrangement may be applied to a machine having an underfeed. The stop-cylinder 2 is checked in the ordinary manner, and on the checkmotion shaft 18 is secured a lever 19 to which is attached a bar 20 having at the top a slot through which passes a pin on the end of a pivoted lever 23. A spring 24 is placed between a projection on the bar 20 and the lever 23. While the cylinder is checked, this spring is compressed and, although the bar 20 continues to reciprocate, the lever 23 remains in engagement with a projection 11<B> on the bar 11, and the lever 9 is thus held away from the cam 7. When the cylinder is liberated, the spring 24 is allowed to expand and free the lever 23 from the projection 11<B>. To control the supply of ink to the duct roller 25, Fig. 8, a knife-blade 26 is supported close to the roller by a series of wedge - shaped blocks 27 mounted on an inclined bed 28 and adjustable by a screw 29.

Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 15,742. Montgomery, J. H. July 19, A.D. 1902, (date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. White lead.-Consists of apparatus for manufacturing white lead. The heated pipe 5 conveys compressed air or superheated steam to the outlet 3, whereby the molten lead from the kettle is sprayed into the chamber 4 in a very finely-divided state and, at the same time, partially oxidized. By means of the water-spraying pipe 7, the particles are swept into the trough 9, from which they are discharged along with the water by the conveyer 10 into an ordinary mixing-machine 13, whose rotating stirrers 14 continually agitate the particles, subjecting them to the oxidizing-action of the air and water. By means of the common pump 17, the materials are forced through the pipes 18, 19, 20 into the rotary carbonating- drum 21, which is provided with, say, four serrated strips on its interior as shown at 22, and there treated with carbonicacid gas in the usual way. The material is discharged by the door 24 into another mixing- machine 26, from which it is pumped into any ordinary grinding-machine 28 where the surface oxide is removed from the particles. It then passes into another mixing-machine 33 from which it may be pumped into the final carbonating-drum 39, or else back into the grinding-machine 28, through the mixer 33 and then to the drum 39, according as it is necessary to continually remove the surface-oxide from the oxide-laden particles.
