Title: New or Improved Means for and Method of Carrying out Secret Manufacturing Processes of Chemical Treatment.
Inventor: WILKINSON GEORGE
Filed: 1905-01-30
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 1769. Wilkinson, G. Jan. 30. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to a method and means for carrying out secret manufacturing processes of chemical treatment, whereby a knowledge of the chemical preparations used may be confined to employers and confidential managers, the workmen and others being prevented from ascertaining the nature of the chemicals or of taking samples thereof. Certain apparatus are enclosed within a casing in such a manner that the operations may be caused to proceed from the exterior, but so that the contents of the vessels cannot be reached. In the form shown, the closed casing a, which may have inspection windows or apertures, contains a tank b provided with an outlet valve z operated by a rod passing through the casing. The secret liquid or mixture of disintegrated solid and liquid is charged into the tank before the casing is closed. The quantity for one operation is discharged by the valve e into either a small fixed measuring-vessel, from which it may be siphoned off to the miser q, or, as shown, into a small measuring-vessel or " grader " f, mounted on wheels running on inclined rails g. A vessel k is provided with a float n connected by a cord e to the vessel so as to draw the latter upwards as the float falls. The vessel f is then tipped, so as to discharge its contents, by a rod inserted through the casing and engaging with a hook f<1>. When it is required to have hot water in the vessel k, a rod p, of some material readily expanding or contracting by thermal variations, is placed in the vessel and is connected to a lever p<1> having its free end bent upwards so as to obstruct the upward travel of the vessel f until sufficient hot liquid has been charged into the vessel k.

Title: Improvements in the Method of and in Looms for Weaving Dress Goods.
Inventor: WADE WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-05-05
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 9486. Wade, W. May 5. Loom take-up motions ; let-off motions ; breast beams ; back-bearers ; checks and striped fabrics; openwork fabrics.-In looms for weaving dress goods having transverse crammed or dense and openwork stripes formed by periodically varying the number of picks inserted, the warps and the cloth pass over back and front bars 1, 2 carried by arms on shafts 8, 11 respectively. Arms 7, 10 on these shafts are connected by rods 6. 9 to the upper and lower arms of a T-shaped lever 5, of which the horizontal arm carries an antifriction roller 12 pressed against a pattern tappet 3 by the action of a spring S. The tappet 3 is rotated in unison with the take-up ratchet-wheel, and controls the positions of the bars 1, 2, which are moved forwards or backwards to cause the fell to be farther from or nearer to the beating-up reed according as the open or the crammed stripes are to be woven. The take-up ratchet-wheel 14 is actuated by long and short throw pawls 13, 15 connected to a lever 16, which is supported and oscillated by a rod 17 extending from a lay-sword 18. When the fell is in its backward position, the horizontal arm of the lever 5 is raised and a finger connected therewith holds the pawl 13 out of action, so that the ratchet-wheel 14 is rotated by the pawl 15 only, and the rate of take-up is slower than when the fell is in its forward position. When the open stripes are being woven, the tension of the warps is relieved. An arm on the shaft 8 is connected by a rod 19 to an auxiliary pivoted lever normally resting on the ordinary weighted lever of the let-off mechanism, and when the bar 1 moves forwards the pivoted lever is raised. The rod 19 may be directly connected to the ordinary weighted lever. To produce dense and open checks, the warp threads for the longitudinal dense stripes are crowded in the reed.

Folding paper. - Relates to apparatus for cutting a strip or strips o f p a p e r into sheets, folding the sheets, and interfolding the ends of adjacent sheets. Two hollow rolls 1 are mounted on hollow fixed shafts 2, which are connected with an air-pump whereby air is continuously exhausted. The rolls have perforated casings, below which are chambers 6 communicating by passages 4 with openings in the hollow shafts. The upper half of each shaft is also provided with a passage 7. Each strip of paper passes round a feed-roll 13 and a roll 10 having a rib 11 which co-operates with a recess 11<a> in the roll 1 to crease the paper. The sheet is cut off by a knife 9 on the roll 1 which co-operates with a fixed knife 8. A recess 12 in the roll 10 allows the knife 9 to pass. The knives and folding-ribs are so placed on the two sets of rollers that the cut in one strip comes opposite the crease in the other. The sheets are released from the rolls 1 as the passages 4 are closed by the lower parts of the shafts 2. The sheets pass between two pins 23 on a horizontally-reciprocating bar 22, which is connected by a rack and pinion 18 with a vertical rack-bar 15, reciprocated by an eccentricallygrooved disk on the roll 1. The sheets are thus folded at the crease and are then pressed down on the pile. by rotating blades 20 carried by the pinions 18. The strips may be divided longitudinally by rotary cutters on the feed-rolls or elsewhere.

Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 9111. M³hlenfels, R. V. C. von, and Lidbeck, G. H. April 15, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Actuating valves; oscillating disk valves.- An apparatus for the intermittent supply of fluid, and specially adapted for use in buoys and lighthouses burning gas, consists of a threeway oscillating disk valve, or other suitable three-way valve, which establishes communication between a bellows and alternately supply and delivery pipes. A system of levers operated by the action of the bellows actuates the valve. A side view of the device is shown in Fig. 1, and a section of the valve is shown in Fig. 5. An oscillating disk valve i, pivoted at k, slides over a block a in which are passages communicating with pipes g, e, f leading to bellows h, supply plant, and burners respectively. The slot b is oval in section and is so dimensioned that it registers with the slot l in the valve for all positions of the latter. The other two passages alternately register with the lower end of the slot l as the valve swings from side to side. The method of actuation is shown in Fig. 1. A lever m, with projections o, is secured to the movable part of the bellows. A lever p, pivoted on the same pin k to which the valve is pivoted, is provided with a forked end which engages a tappet r on the valve. Screw stops t limit the degree of oscillation of the valve. In the position shown, the burner is cut off and the bellows are in communication with the gas supply. The incoming gas extends the bellows and the lever m rotates to the right. When the arm o reaches the lever p it carries it along with it until the spring s is extended to its maximum ; the remaining part of the movement is effected rapidly under the action of the spring. The valve is rapidly turned by the action of the forked lever on the tappet r. The bellows are then in communication with the burner and the supply is cut off. The bellows are emptied by pressure exerted by a spring n, and the valve is similarly actuated in the reverse direction. The speed at which the apparatus works is regulated by valves in the conduits e, f, and by opening these valves to varying extents the light and dark periods may be made unequal to any desired degree. An ordinary pilot-flame is used in conjunction with the device.

Title: Improvements in Prepayment Mechanism for Electric and Gas Meters.
Inventor: BOWDEN JOHN HORACE
Filed: 1907-03-12
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 6006. Bowden, J. H., Robinson, J. A., and Jacks; A. H. March 12. Electricity, supplying; gas - meters ; actuating- mechanism.-After prepayment, the operator turns a spindle d when a driving-pin i, projecting from a carrier b, engages a pawl n on a spring-controlled feed-lever p, thereby rotating a disk s and planetwheel v through a predetermined angle. A disk 2 on a spindle q is simultaneously rotated by the planet-wheel through a bevel-wheel x, when a pin 6 on a switch arm 4 passes out from a gap 22 in a pivoted spring trip 3 on to the circumferance of the disk, forcing the switch arm and contact 10 slightly to the right and lowering a spring 24 and arm 28. The arm 4 is connected by a spring 7 to a second switch arm 8, the spring normally holding the arm against the spindle d. During the rotation of the spindle d, a cam u engages a pin 14, moving links 12, 15 to the right against the action of a spring 16, a block 20 on the latter link working in a gap 18 in the plate f and sliding on and finally dropping behind a pin 21 on the arm 8. When the pin 14 escapes from the cam, the spring 16 returns the lever 15 and with its switch arm 8, owing to the engagement of the block 20 and pin 21, closing the consumer's circuit through the contacts 10, 11. The block 20 escapes from the pin 21 when a pin 17 to which the spring 16 is attached rides up an incline 19, but the switch remains closed owing to the spring 24 holding a shoulder in the slotted link 25, which is carried by the switch arm 8 in locking engagement with a pin 27 on the plate f. The working of the meter rotates a wheel y, which through bevel-gear w, v, x (the disk s being held stationary by the brake 32) returns the disk 2 until the pin 6 again enters the gap 22 when an arm 28 trips the slotted link 25, allowing the spring 7 to open the switch. An adjustable bracket 30 may be employed to engage a pin 31 on the pawl and disengage the latter from the disk. A coiled spring 29 attached to the spindle q assists the working of the meter. In an alternative form, a crank-arm on the spindle d engages a cam-piece on the switch arm 8 while the disk s is frictionally connected with the wheel y, the bevel-gear being omitted. The trip switch may be replaced by a travelling switch which rotates over an annular contact-plate and when the circuit is broken rests in a gap in the plate. Coin action coin-discharging mechanisin.-The coin a inserted in the shoot g falls between guidepieces h in the carrier b, and rests on the spring- controlled driver pin i. During the rotation of the carrier, the coin pressed down by the cam j forces out the pin i so that it can engage the pawl m, and afterwards falls out of the carrier assisted by the return of the driver pin. A spring attached to the spindle may complete the rotation of the carrier after it has been turned through 180 degrees.
