Patent GB-190428084-A (GB)
Title: Thread Controlling Devices for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 28,084. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 22. Buttonhole-sewing machines ; buttonholes, barring ; governing needle thread.-Relates to improvements in the thread-controlling devices described in Specification No. 1936, A.D. 1904, whereby a quantity of loose thread is drawn off beyond the tension device during the formation of the barring-stitches. Between the tension device and the needle, the thread is passed round a pulley 57 on a shaft 58, mounted in the head of the machine. Frictional resistance is offered to the rotation of the shaft by a washer 96 against which the ratchet-wheel 59 is pressed by a lever 97, held in engagement with it by a spring 99. The ratchet-wheel is actuated, during the barring operation, from the take-up lever 73 through a link 70 which is connected to a disc 63 carrying a pawl 64. This pawl has a tail concentric with the ratchet-wheel, and, except during the barring operation, is held out of gear by a lever 79 in the following manner:-The needle-bar is vibrated laterally, as in the prior Specification, by a bar which is engaged by one of two pins on a cam-actuated lever. Connected to the trigger lever 30, which pulls the bar over to the pin for the barring-stitches, and loosely retained by guides 89, is a plate 87 having a cam-head 88 normally abutting against the side of a bowl on a rod 82. On the initial movement of the trigger lever, this cam-head is carried past the bowl and is drawn over it by a spring, so that, on the return movement, when the barring operation is commenced, the inclined surface depresses the bowl and its rod 82 rotates the lever 79 and permits a spring 78 to engage the ratchet and pawl. At the close of the operation, the lever, which releases the trigger lever, pushes the plate 87 to the left, thereby releasing the bowl and permitting a spring 94 to rotate the lever 79 and disengage the ratchet pawl. To remove the tension entirely when the work-clamp is opened to withdraw the work, the lever 97 has an arm 100 which is engaged by a plate 102 integral with the clamp, and its end is thereby removed from the ratchet-wheel when the clamp is opened.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Electric Cables, or Conductors.
Inventor: EDMUNDS HENRY
Filed: 1905-06-10
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 12,171. Edmunds, H., and Dawson, P. June 10. Couplings.-Relates to jointing stranded conductors to lead-sheathed mains. The joint is preserved from the injurious action ot water by filling the stranded conductor where it passes into the lead envelope with an insulating-compoud or with some metal such as lead or solder, or by making the end of the stranded conductor solid so that it can be connected to or form part of the encircling clip on the outer conductor of the main cable. The lead sheath may then be joined to the solid part of the stranded conductor by soldering. This method of coupling is particularly suitable for joining the outer conductor of the feeders to the earthed rail in electric traction systems.

Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 7616. Gobbi, E. Dec. 23, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Straining liquids. -Water and other liquids are strained or filtered by passing between impermeable washers or rings piled one upon another and held in contact by rods or otherwise. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the rings are formed at the edges of disks 1 surrounding a perforated tube 2. In Fig. 4 the members are shown with concentric portions and separated by washers 5 provided with arms which serve as springs to separate the disks after they have been loosened for cleansing. Tongues 7 formed by cutting and stamping up the metal serve as springs for the same purpose in the form shown in Fig. 5. In another modification the filtering-members are formed by a concentric series of helically-wound wires. Fig. 8 shows one form in which such arrangements may be used. Liquid enters the interior of the pile of washers 8 by the cock 12 and strains through, against the pressure of the air in the chamber 11 which has a draw-off cock 13 and air inlet 15. To cleanse the apparatus, the elements are loosened and the cock 14 opened, so that the liquid is forced backward by the air pressure. Steam or oxygen may be admitted through a nipple 16 to sterilize the apparatus. In a similar apparatus the liquid strains inward and an air-pump is attached to provide the necessary pressure. The apparatus shown in Fig. 10 has several concentric series of rings supported between plates 20. The liquid is admitted at the tap 21 and drawn off by the tap 22, while a tap 23 is provided to allow of cleansing by reversed flow.
