Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Ceramic Stone.
Inventor: GARCHEY LOUIS ANTOINE
Filed: 1898-01-25
Granted: 1898-11-05
Abstract: 2003. Garchey, L. A. Jan. 25. Devitrified glass.-Relates to 'ceramic stone' formed of devitrified glass, as described in Specification No. 5772, A.D. 1896. Waste glass, together with slag, scoriµ, potter's and other clay, or other vitrifiable material, is pulverized and sifted. When clay or other material not easily fusible is employed, the materials are agglutinated with a silicate or gum to form a paste that can be roughly moulded to the required form, but the powder may be placed in a refractory mould without any such treatment. Fragments of unpulverized glass may be embedded in the pulverized material. The devitrification is effected in a furnace at a temperature below the fusing point of the materials, and the roughlymoulded article is finally shaped under pressure between suitable dies. Molten glass may be run into moulds, devitrified, and finished in the above way. Pieces of coloured glass embedded in the surface may be employed to give decorative effects.

After cooling out of contact with the air to 800‹-900‹ F., they are rolled between polished rollers to give the desired finish.
Patent GB-189821237-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Connection with Shuttles of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: RIABOUSCHINSKY SERGIUS
Filed: 1898-10-08
Granted: 1899-08-12
Abstract: 21,237. Riabouschinsky, S. Oct. 8. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-The ordinary weft stop-motion, instead of stopping the loom, lifts a hook into the path of a star-wheel on the rod e, which removes the used shuttle from one shuttle box, Fig. 6, and drops a full one from the magazine into the other shuttle box, Fig. 9. For the first action two cams z act upon levers u and lift the jaw a' of the shuttle box to allow the shuttle to be ejected beneath it by a plate carried by arms d<1> on a shaft c<2> which is actuated by an arm b<1> from one of the cams z. For the second action, a cam g at the other end of the shaft e operates, through a lever k and rod m, the shaft u, which withdraws a plate p supporting the shuttles in the magazine m<1>, and introduces another plate r above the lowest shuttle. The plate p has a hooked end to withdraw the pivoted jaw s of the shuttle box and allow the shuttle to fall, and the jaw is maintained in this position by a slide plate o until the lay is again in its forward position. To prevent the pickers from obstructing the movements of the shuttles, they are drawn back by means of rods g<1> and spring levers, which withdraw supporting-plates from beneath the long arms of the picker levers, and allow these levers to move back further with the pickers until they bear against buffers.

Abstract: 21,243. Brun, E. G. March 9, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Spinning and twisting macines with twisting- arragements at delivery ; rollers and roller heads ; building-motions ; carding-engines ; reeling-machines ; stop-motions ; processes ; winding-machines.-The slivers from a condenser card ing-engine are wound into cops on spindles C, each of which is cylindrical in its upper part and flat or of a blade shape at its lower end, which takes into a slot q in a rotating tube r. The cop is wound nose downwards in a slotted cup b, conical rollers x carried by the table B projecting through the slots in the cup to diminish the friction during the winding. The sliver is guided to the cop by means of an eye f, carried by a traversing-table F, which is reciprocated along the guide X, so that the eye f will move parallel with the cop chase, by means of the lever system U, U<1>, U<2> operated by a crank-pin on the axle of the roller A. The spindle rises as the winding proceeds, and finally escapes from the tube r, when the winding ceases. The cop which has been wound in the manner described is placed in a revolving cup or cylinder I, and the thread is led to a set of three rollers J, from which it passes to apparatus for winding it into hanks, cops, or the like. Of the rollers J, the lower ones j, j<1> extend the whole length of the machine, while the upper ones j<2> are in short lengths sufficient for the holding or feeding of two adjacent threads. The cups I are provided with longitudinal slots i to facilitate the finding and piecing of broken ends, and with lids I' secured by bayonet joints and having short tubes i<1> projecting from their upper parts terminating in bent wires i<2>. P is a pedal stopping- lever. The parts are driven by belt and other gearing in the manner shown.

Abstract: 2698. Scott, L. K. Feb. 7. Search-lights.-Relates to apparatus for sighting ordnance at night. A side elevation is shown. One or more guns H are mounted upon the platform A, which is free to be elevated and depressed about the trunnion a. The gun platform A is supported on the turntable B, and the trunnion a is carried in bearings b which are capable of vertical adjustment by the screws b<1>. An arm C, mounted loosely on the trunnion a, rests by gravity on the ordinary elevating-screw S. A second screw S<1> rests on the arm C, and engages with a screwed socket in the gun platform A. A search-light D and telescope sight G are carried by trunnions d on standards c fixed to the arm C. An arm d' projecting from the search-light D has a cam surface E engaging a lever F which is pivoted to a support c<1> on the arm C and is connected by the arm a' to the gun platform A. Upon turning the screw S, the guns, search-light, and telescope sight all move together. Upon turning the screw S', the gun platform is raised and at the same time the lever F automatically adjusts the sight and searchlight for range, in the manner described in Specifications No. 159, A.D. 1894, No. 7584, A.D. 1898, and No. 18,731, A.D. 1898. In a modification, the search-light is carried below the gun mounting on a frame connected to the arm C, and is automatically moved by an arm' from the gun platform A so that the axis of the search-light always intersects the line of sight in the target. In another modification, the search-light is provided with a hand-lever for turning it on its trunnions while it moves horizontally with the telescope sight.

Title: Improvements in Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: MARECHAL CHARLES
Filed: 1900-07-30
Granted: 1900-11-17
Abstract: 13,643. MarÚchal, C., Michel, J., and Dervin, E. July 30. Wireless telegraphy.- Relates to the construction and arrangement of the coherer, with the means employed for decoherence. A further improvement consists in the inclusion of synchronous interrupters in the transmitting and receiving circuits so as to introduce synchronous periods of vibrations independent of the wave lengths into the system. The coherer itself consists of a single point resting in contact with a telephone diaphragm, or, as shown at 5, Fig. 8, of a number of spheres placed in a calibrated tube and situated between two telephone diaphragms. The telephones and tube are adjustably mounted, and the local circuit is so arranged that the telephone diaphragms act to decohere and at the same time emit a loud sound. As shown in Fig. 8, the primary of an induction coil is included in this circuit, the secondary being in circuit with a coil moving between the poles p, p<1> of a magnet. This coil carries an arm, the free end of which is situated in the middle of a row of balls forming a second coherer or microphonic contact. This second local circuit includes a larger battery 6, a rheostat 7, and the primary of an induction coil 8. The secondary of this induction coil is in circuit with the telephone coils and the synchronized interrupter 11 for controlling the recorder. An interrupter synchronous with the interrupter 11 is included at the transmitting station in the aerial line circuit. In a modified arrangement, the telephone diaphragms are omitted and tuned reeds are substituted therefor, a telephone or other receiver taking the place of the interrupter 11. Decoherence may also be obtained by employing a fine platinum wire, heated by the current in the local circuit, to act on the row of balls through a pivoted lever.
