Title: Improvements relating to Cycle Brakes
Filed: 1907-07-13
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 16,158. Reilly, A. H., and New Rapid Cycle Co. July 13. Brakes; driving-mechanism.-In cycle hub brakes wherein expansible brake segments b are operated through a free-wheel clutch i from the driving- mechanism, a frictionally-actuated ring or plate p, p<1> being adapted to operate upon the rollers or pawls of the clutch, the driving ratchet-ring n is connected to the hub in such a manner that it may partake of relative rotation with respect thereto. As shown, the brake is combined with a variable-speed gear such as that described in Specification No. 21,820, A.D. 1906, and the rollers i, arranged in pockets in the carrier h, engage the brake-actuating part g<1>, d when back-pedalling occurs. Springs q carried by the ring p bear frictionally upon the hub c and so cause the ring to control more or less the position of the rollers i. In order. however, to permit of back-wheeling when the pawls o are in engagement with the ratchet-ring n, the hub is slotted, as shown in Fig. 3, to receive a driving-stop r, a spring s being engaged between the ratchet-ring and the hub so that the stop is normally in engagement with the back edge of the slot.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Drying Apparatus.
Inventor: FAIRBROTHER HENRY
Filed: 1908-02-06
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 2702. Fairbrother, H., [Moller & Pfeifer]. Feb. 6. Pottery, drying. In order to obtain approximately uniform drying of materials, such as pottery, the hot saturated air from that part of a drying-channel a immediately above the furnace e and flues is abstracted at g and drawn by a fan h through circulating-pipes f extending down the channel towards the entrance b. The air in the channel, which has been warmed by these pipes, is also drawn in at intervals along the channel through pipes l<2>, l, valves k<2>, k, and headers m<2>, m. By this means, the quantity of unsaturated air is regulated so that it diminishes towards thehotterend in proportion to the increase in moisture-absorbing power due to the rise in temperature. The moisture condensed in the tubes f is run out at d.

Title: Tool for Moulding Upper Part of Bottle Necks
Inventor: SIMCOX JOHN ERNEST
Filed: 1908-06-30
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 13,808. Simcox, J. E., Cooper, 0. C., and Simcox, C. June 30. Moulding bottles.-Relates to a tool for moulding the necks of bottles, particularly the bottle shown in Specification No. 22,747, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Stoppering &c.]. The frame of the tube is U-shaped, and its lower end forms a spring A while its upper end has semicircular ends M and projections or nibs N. Arms B, which carry the moulds E for forming the outside of the bottle neck, are hinged to the frame at C and are held against the frame by springs D. A tool shaft L revolves freely on the upper end of a tube F which is secured to the frame. The tool for forming the inside of the bottle neck consists of four parts m, m<1>, n, n<1>, Figs. 4<a> and 4<b>, which are hinged to the tool shaft L. The parts n, n<1> are held apart by a spring a. A face - plate I which turns easily on the tool spindle is connected to the tube F by means of links O and a pin R, and carries eye-bolts J in which are set-screws w. In use, the tool is applied to the metal and pressure put upon the frame at X to close the moulds E. The frame is then revolved to form the outside of the neck, the set-screws w regulating the thickness of the glass in the neck. To remove the tool from the neck, extra pressure is put on the frame at X. The arms Bare prevented from moving further, but the nibs N press the parts n, n<1> of the tool inwards and the semicircular pieces M cause the parts m, m<1> to collapse, as shown in Fig. 4<c>, enabling the tool to be removed from the bottle neck.

Title: A New or Improved Means and Method of Treating Woollen, Cotton, Flax and other Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: LEACHMAN WILLIAM BRADSHAW
Filed: 1908-08-01
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 16,330. Leachman, W. B. Aug. 1. Processes, compound.- For milling, shrinking, and finishing textile fabrics in one operation, the fabric is first sprayed and then passed through a press, which is internally chambered and steam heated in order to maintain the cloth at a suitable temperature. Instead of the usual slow pressure, a series of percussive pressures of not less than six blows per minute is given to the press head, and, to allow for the shrinkage of the cloth, the rollers are made to travel at a uniformly decreasing rate of surface speed from the feed end to the delivery end of the machine. The press may, as shown, be similar to those described in Specifications No. 242, A.D. 1876, and No. 4815, A.D. 1880. It consists of an internally chambered steam-heated table l and head 2, together with an intermediate steam-heated plate 5. The fabric 3 is fed over guide-rollers 4 under a nozzle 9, where it is saturated with water to the desired extent, then to and fro through the press the number of times depending on the particular fabric, and over the feed-rollers 6, 7, 8, which are made of decreasing radius or are geared to run at uniformly decreasing speed. The shrinkage is thus regulated, the fabric is not distorted by strain, and a better lustre and finish are imparted.
