Inventor: CROFT FREDERICK LISTER
Filed: 1901-05-11
Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 9778. Croft, F. L., Perkins, T. A., Croft, F., and Towmson, E. May 11. Lathes.-A lathe attachment for turning concave or convex belt-pulley faces consists of a tool slide 3 carried by a tool-post 4, on which is mounted a short cylinder 15, rocked by a lever 18 and having a cam-groove 14 engaged by a roller stud 9 on the slide 3. A stud 20, adjustable in a slot in the lever 18, is connected by a rod 23 with a block 26 adjustable in a fixed slotted arm 28, the rod being longitudinally adjustable in the block. The parts are so adjusted that the stud 9 is at the centre of the cam-groove when the tool 2 is in the centre of the pulley face 34. The shape of the cam-groove and the position of the stud 20 determine the direction and amount of the curvature given to the face.

Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 16,741. Rauhoff, J. M. Aug. 20. Driving and actuating mechanism.-Relates to mechanism for converting reciprocating into rotary motion applicable for driving rotary stirrers. The invention is shown in connection with a wash-tub, in which the stirrers 24 are mounted to slide on a sleeve 20, having two feathers 21, secured on the shaft 28. This shaft is formed with one or more flaring helical grooves and is supported in a standard 5 formed in one piece, Fig. 7. The nut consists of aT-piece 33, 34 fitted with two pins coned at the ends to engage the threads; these pins are supported in ball bearings, as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 6 shows a modification of simpler construction. Trunnions 13 are screwed into the sides of the nut and engage the sides of a loop formed in the operating-lever 9 which is pivoted on a swinging support 10. The upward movement of the lever is produced by a spring 14. enclosed in a box 15 which is formed with knife-edges to bear upon the underside of the lever, and guided on a standard which rests on the base of the standards 5 by means of a central bearing.

Granted: 1902-08-21
Abstract: 16,831. Taylor, C., and Taylor, G. B. Aug. 22. Dividing-apparatus.-An indexing or dividing apparatus for milling, planing, or similar machines may be constructed to give half-revolutions to the work as in Fig. 2, or some part of a revolution as in Fig. 5. In Fig. 2, the base of the bracket A is bolted to the table, the vertical member having a bearing A<2> for the spindle of a disc B<2> which has two teeth B<3> which can be brought alternately into contact with a stop A' to determine half-revolutions by rotating the spindle by means of a handle D pivoted on it and locked under one of the catch plates A<3>. A suitable jig or work-holder is bolted to the disc B<2>. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the disc G corresponds to the disc B<2>, and has teeth cut in its edge so that it may be locked, when required, by a pawl J pivoted on the pedestal supporting the disc spindle. The pawl is normally thrown out by a spring J<2>, but is held in the locked position by a tooth H<4> on a plate H pivoted on the disc spindle. The plate is rocked by means of a handle plate I pivoted at J<3> on the plate H and having a tooth I<2> which can engage a fixed stop H<3>. The movement of the handle plate on its pivot is limited by stops H<1>, H<2>. The stops are so arranged that a movement of the handle plate first releases the pawl J and then actuates the toothed disc by means of a tooth I<1> till arrested by an adjustable stop K. The plates I, H are then returned to lock the disc in its adjusted position.

Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 7973. Campbell, D., Binnie, R. B. J., and Reid, W. April 5. Tipping - apparatus. - Relates t o rotary tippers supported on toothed or friction wheels by which they are driven. The handle H for shifting the driving-belt, has connected to it a bolt H<2> adapted to engage a stop on the tipper frame. The belt shifter, besides being connected to the handle H, is connected also to a lever L pivoted at L<2> and having a roller adapted to engage a cam K. On pulling out the lever H and thus throwing the belt on to the fast pulley, the roller L' is moved into the path of the cam K, which on the completion of one rotation engages the roller, thus moving the belt back on to the loose pulley and putting the bolt H<2> in the path of the stop. In the case of fast and slow speed belts G<2>, G<1> being used, the construction is somewhat modified. The high-speed belt G<2> is moved on to the fast pulley E<5> by the handle H, and is retained there during the required periods by the cam-rims K<1>, K<2>, while the slow belt G<1> is moved on to the fast pulley by the cam K engaging the lever L. The belts are returned on to their respective loose pulleys by weighted angle-levers P', P<3>.

Title: Improvements in Water Gauges of Steam Boilers.
Inventor: CLARK PETER WHITE
Filed: 1902-09-04
Granted: 1903-07-09
Abstract: 19,394. Clark, P. W. Sept. 4. Gauge-glass fittings.-Valves are provided for automatic closing when the gauge glass breaks. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the valve b is fitted to a spindle which, passing through a stuffing-box, is provided with the handle l by means of which the threaded portion e of the spindle is made to engage with the gland of the stuffing-box and thereby to secure the valve for blowing through &c. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the disc valve b is formed with two pins m, the combined area of which is greater than the area of the spindle c. The result is that the normal pressure at the back of the valve is greater than at the front, by which the valve is kept open without packing the gland tightly.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Tram-car and other Out Door Seats.
Inventor: WILDE THOMAS
Filed: 1902-10-03
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 21,491. Wilde, T. Oct. 3. Seats and seat backs; seat protectors.-In seats for omnibuses &c., the seating-surface is protected from the wet by being covered automatically by hinged flaps when the seat is unoccupied. The flaps a are hinged to the frame of the seat back c. When the seat is unoccupied, the back c is brought to a central position by springs g, as shown in Fig. 2, and the flaps fall over the seat. In this position, the joint between the upper edges of the flaps is covered by a cross-bar e on the frame of the back. When the seat is in use, one flap is raised to form the seat back, as shown in Fig. 3. To close the ends of the seat when the flaps are lowered, triangular pieces are fitted to the seat, or two pieces i<1>, i' pivoted to the frame are adapted, by the engagement of a stud k on the piece i<1> with a slot l in the piece i' and by the operation of a stud m on the cam-shaped bottom edges, to fall clear of the seat automatically when uncovering and to close the end of the seat when the back takes up its central position. According to the Provisional Specification, a triangular piece, folding back before or while the flaps are raised, may be hinged at each end of the flaps to keep out the wet, and a rod may connect the upper ends of the sides c so that, when the back is perpendicular, on pressing a spring catch arranged in the middle of the rod and securing the flaps together, the latter fall on to the seat. With non- reversible seats, one flap serves as back and cover, and the pieces i<1>, i<2> are fixed.

Abstract: 14,481. Wheatley, W. H., [Cole, W.]. June 29. Cheese.-The milk used in cheese-making is subjected to a process whereby the use of rennet is dispensed with. About 10 per cent. is separated by means of a separator or by letting it stand for a few hours. The separated portion, which contains the lighter constituents, is allowed to turn sour or is artificially acidified, and is thoroughly oxidized by passing air through it till a division occurs between the lighter and heavier constituents. It is then mixed with the unoxidized portion, or with the main bulk of freshly-separated milk, and allowed to stand, the whey being afterwards drained off and the curd treated in the usual way. The temperature during acidification and oxidation should be kept normal. Part of the butter fat may be removed before mixing with the main bulk.
