Abstract: 8574. Butler, W. M., and Whitney, C. E. April 15. Driving - chains. - Relates to driving-chains specially for heavy work constructed so as to be disconnected without special tools and without altering the relative position of contiguous parts. The centre block consists of two plates a, Fig. 2, conforming in outline to the connecting-links b, Figs. 2 and 4, and rigidly united at each end by tubular rivets c, upon which are placed the rollers c<1>. A pin d passes through each tubular rivet and each end is provided with a flat e and a groove h ; the holes f in the links b are shaped to fit the ends of the pin. To prevent rotation and lateral motion of the pins, spring locking-plates g are applied outside each connecting-link. Each pin has a second flat k at one end parallel to the flat e, and a corresponding hole i is formed in the spring plate in such a position that the plate is perpendicular to the links when placed in position, and is turned through a right-angle when the hole i comes over the groove in the pin, to bring the plate into its working position. The hole i<1> is broken by a slot j so that the locking-plate may be sprung over the end of the adjacent pin to secure or to withdraw the plate from its working position. In a modified form, the hole i is also broken by a slot.

Abstract: 15,777. North, W. S. July 16. Sewing-machine folding-attachments; needle-bars vibrating laterally; presser-feet.-The invention relates to a machine for producing the ruffles described in Specification No. 18,252, A.D. 1902 in which the stitches pass through the bases of the ruffles and not over the top. The ruffles may be made with or without a foundation. The needlebar is mounted in a frame, which is vibrated laterally by a cam f in an ordinary way, so as to produce a stitch in the fabric between two ruffles alternating with an idle stitch outside it. An arm 26, reciprocating synchronously with the needle-bar a, actuates a ruffling-blade 27, which is pressed downwards by a spring 28. As every alternate stitch is an idle one, the ruffling-blade is raised out of action each alternate stroke by a finger n on a shaft k, which is actuated by a cam surface h. The presser-foot p is open as shown, in order to accommodate a finger q, which raises each ruffle into the vertical position preparatory to sewing, so that the stitches shall be made at the base of the ruffles and not through the ruffles themselves. The fingers q is carried on a rod r, which is universally pivoted at s, u, and has a ball-andsocket connection w with an adjustable slide y carried on the same block as the cams previously mentioned. Guiding matertal.-The fabric is folded over a guide 30.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Stokers for Furnaces
Inventor: HAMLER PETER JOHN
Filed: 1904-07-18
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 15,951. Hamler, P. J. July 18. Mechanical stoking.-Fuel is supplied from a feeder to a tapered shoot, whence it is delivered to the fire by a steam jet, a reciprocating movement being given to the steam pipe so that the shoot may be oscillated and the fuel distributed over the fire. The fuel is conducted from the hopper 2 to a wheel 4 and delivered through the throat-piece 6 to a shoot 7, which is pivoted to the feeder by the throat-piece and projects forward through the fueldoor opening of the furnace. The fuel supply is regulated bya gate 3<a> operated by a lever 3<b>, which is formed with a stud 3<c> working in a slot 3<d>, and is secured in any position by a nut. A nozzle 9 from a steam pipe 11 is pivotally connected to a boss 8 in the shoot, and provided with an aperture opposite a discharge aperture in the boss, from which the issuing steam impinges on the fuel and drives it through the shoot to the fire. On the shaft 12 of the feed-wheel 4 is mounted a cam 13 engaging a pin 15 on the arm 14<a> of an angularbar 14. The other arm 14<b> of the bar is placed between two stops 16 on the steam pipe 11, which thereby receives a reciprocating movement and oscillates the shoot. Swivel joints 19 connect the horizontal pipe 18 with the vertical pipes 17 leading from the pipe 11 to the boiler. The throat 6 of the shoot works in ball bearings, and is provided at its upper part with a collar 21 which forms the upper seat for the balls. The lower seat for the balls is formed by a collar or ring 23 screwed into the outlet of the feeder. The upper wall of the outer end of the shoot is notched and formed with channels 26 which engage lugs or flanges 25 on the throat-piece 6 ; the shoot and throat-piece are further held together by a key-bar 28 bearing upon rollers 29 in the upper part of the shoot and held in position by bolts 30 passed through a wall of the bracket A on which the feeder-case is mounted.

Controlling and locking signals.-An electric slot or control is fixed on the signal-arm spindle and may be used in connection with track circuits, treadles, switch points, contacts on the signal levers. The apparatus is mounted on the spindle 13 of the semaphore arm and consists of a disc 12 rigidly fixed to the said spindle and carrying an electromagnet 16, the armature 27 of which is mounted on a lever 23 capable of movement about its pivot 25<a> on a bracket 25 cast with the disc 12. A forked extension 24 of the lever 23 engages a roller 24<a> mounted on a bell crank 22, also pivoted to the disc 12. The other end of the bell crank engages a cam-piece 18 which has a projection 19. A cover 14 is rotatably mounted on a boss of the disc 12 and has a rim with a notch 20 into which the tongue 19 enters. The signal-operating rod is attached to the lug 15 and is moved by a hand-lever through wires and a counterweighted lever as usual. If the magnet 16 is energized and the lug 15 is raised by the signal rod, the case 14 in moving carries with it the disc 12. If the magnet is not energized, the armature moves about its pivot 25<a>, also moving the bell crank 22, and allows the cam 18 to rotate and disengage the tongue 19 from the notch 20, and so the disc 12 and spindle 13 of the signal arm are not moved. Should the electric circuit be broken while the signal is set, as by a train operating a track contact, the disc 12 is disengaged from the case 14 and the signal arm returns to 'danger.'

Title: Improved Means for Atomizing th Liquid Fuel for Internal-combustion Engines
Inventor: LINLEY CHARLES MONTAGUE
Filed: 1905-11-23
Granted: 1906-11-23
Abstract: 24,192. Linley, C. M. Nov. 23. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-Air for atomizing the fuel is supplied at a uniform pressure irrespective of the speed of the engine, for instance, by a reciprocating pump of the type shown in Fig. 1. Air is drawn into the pump cylinder A through ports C and is discharged on the compression stroke through the pipe G when the ports H in the hollow piston B coincide with the outlet ports E in the cylinder A. The degree of compression may be varied by introducing a movable piston or projection in the cylinder head. If preferred, the compressed air may be released by a valve in the piston opening under the influence of a pivoted lever actuated by engaging with the interior of the cylinder. Primitive forms of pumps which deliver air at a uniform pressure irrespective of the speed at which they are driven consist of a flexible ball or other bellows or a plunger actuated by a lever moved in one direction by a snail cam and in the other-the effective stroke-by a spring.
