Title: Improvements in or relating to Blind Stitch Sewing Machines.
Inventor: NORTH WILLIAM STANLEY
Filed: 1904-04-26
Granted: 1904-05-26
Abstract: 9554. North, W. S. April 26. Blind-stitching machines; double-loop stitching machines.-Relates to the class of machines in which the work is crimped over a ridged work-support. The looper 14 of a blind-stitching machine is actuated by a crank 10, connected by a shaft 6 and a rod 2 with a crank on the main shaft, and a lever 16, controlled by an eccentric 24. The looper rod 13 pivots in a ball sleeve 17 which causes the rotation of the crank 10 to produce the lateral motion of the looper. At the same time, the crank also gives the looper the necessary up-and-down motion to enable it to pass over the V-shaped ridge of the work-support. To enable it to take and leave the needle loop, a forward and backward motion is given to the looper by the eccentric 24 through arms 21, 16 mounted on a common vertical rock shaft. The underside of the looper is provided with a recess 25, and the shoulder 26 engages the looper thread and holds it in position for the needle to pass between it and the looper.

Title: A New or Improved Electrical Maximum Demand Indicator.
Filed: 1904-05-31
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 12,373. Nalder Bros. & Thompson, [White, R. S.]. May 31. Current meters.- In a maximumdemand indicator, the core of a solenoid controls the escapement of a train of clockwork, and prevents it from running down until the core is moved by a sufficiently strong current. The clockwork then starts, moves a pointer over a dial, and exerts a gradually-increasing force tending to restore the core to its initial position, and to stop the clockwork. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the disc 14 carrying the pallets 14<b> is arrested by the pin 26 carried by the arm 22<a> of the pivoted core 22. A chain 28, hanging in a bight from a grooved wheel 7 and the counterweight arm 22<b>, is slowly unwound by the motion of the train and so increases the controlling-force. The motion of the pointer and chain-wheel is limited by stops 17, 18, 18<a>. The driving-spring 4 may be replaced by a weight, and a spring may be used in place of the hanging chain. In one modification, the chain is carried around the.grooved wheel in the opposite direction and its free end is attached to a spiral or other spring connected to the arm 22<a>. In another modification, a volute spring acting upon the arbor of the pivoted core is fixed to a wheel connected by a cord or chain to the clockwork. The object of the escapement is to retard the action and reduce the effect of momentary rushes of current. In the modification represented in Fig. 7, the clockwork train is dispensed with. The disc 7, connected with the pointer and controlled by the brake arm 25 of the core 22, carries a reservoir 31 for mercury, sand, or the like, which discharges, as the disc rotates, through the hopper 35 into the pan 34 pivoted to the rack sector 32. The disc is rotated slowly by the weight of the pawl 33 or by an additional weight. The indicator is re-set by turning the arbor 3 and with it the sector 32 into the position shown in dotted lines, whereupon the pan is tilted by the projection 37, its contents being discharged into the reservoir, and the pawl is tripped by the engagement of its tail with the projection, the sector returning to its original position, with the pan supported in the ring of the counterweight arm.

Title: Improvements in Stop-valves.
Inventor: SYKES FREDERICK
Filed: 1904-06-11
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 13,234. Sykes, F. June 11. Lift valves; casings.-The stop valve, shown in the Figure, comprises two lift valves C, D which close on opposite sides of the seat B, preventing the scoring - action of the fluid. The valves are inserted into the casing through apertures which are closed by caps E, F. The lower valve D has a screwed stem K, screwing into the upper valve C, and a square projection L below to slide in the cap F. A spring M is placed between the wheel J and the casing, so that, in opening the valve, the valve C opens first, the valve D being retained closed, until the shoulder N of the valve C abuts against the inner end of the cap E. Further rotation of the spindle G then forces the lower valve D from its seat. In closing, the valve D closes first. A loose washer P may be used on the shoulder N of the valve C.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Central Battery Telephone Systems.
Inventor: ARNHEIM PAUL
Filed: 1905-04-19
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 8411. Arnheim, P. April 19. Telephone systems; telephone calls.-In centralbattery party-line telephone systems, the earth connexion at the subscriber's station is broken after a call is answered, and is restored when the receiver is placed upon the hook. The earth contact is broken by the movement of the subscriber's indicator flap into the "engaged" position. The indicator k is normally retained by the armature catch q and also by the arm i connected to the hook switch h. The spring v is connected to the bell d, and normally engages the contact u on the indicator k. Calling-current can thus pass from the line b through the condenser c, bell d, spring v, contact u, and the indicator k to the earthed terminal e. When the subscriber calls, he removes his receiver, and current from the exchange central battery passes over the line b through the magnet coils m and the shunt coil n in parallel, transmitter t, hook h, and the primary f to the "a" line and back to the exchange. The energizing of the magnet m releases the indicator k, which falls into the " engaged position and breaks the contacts u, v so that the station cannot be called. If the subscriber omits to replace the receiver on the hook, he may be reminded to do so by alternating current being sent through the "a" line, contact f, transmitter t, and the magnet m to the " b " line. The armature o will then vibrate, acting as a buzzer. The arrangement is especially applicable to the telephone systems described in Specifications No. 24,839, A.D. 1901, and No. 15,258, A.D. 1904.
