Title: Improvements in Crushing Rolls for Stone, Ore, and similar Substances.
Inventor: CARMAN CHARLES LEWIS
Filed: 1897-04-13
Granted: 1897-09-18
Abstract: 9397. Carman, C. L. April 13. Roller mills for stone, ore, &c. The bearings of the roll B are fixed to the bed A, while those of the roll B<1> are adapted to slide thereon and are traversed by the bolts C under the heads of which are placed relief springs. In order to allow the roll B<1> to assume an angular position, when required, its brasses are adapted to turn upon vertical axes in the bearings, being formed with cylindrical surfaces, as in Fig. 4. The brasses are provided with lubricating-chambers as in Fig. 5 ; they can be readily removed and replaced without disturbing the roll adjustment, which is effected by packing-pieces C<2> interposed between the fixed and movable bearings.

Title: Improvements in Measuring Faucets.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1897-05-15
Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 12,075. Justice, P. M., [Boening, E., Baldwin, W. D., and Walling, J. H.]. May 15. Measured quantities, delivering.-The measuring- chambers b, c, the exact capacity of which is adjusted by plugs x, are filled and emptied alternately by single - way plugs f, o, which are geared together by toothed segments and one of which carries an actuating crank handle. l, m are vent ports registering with passages n, n during discharge. The segments have eyes at their ends, a pair of which come into coincidence at either extreme position of the handle, so that the hoop of a padlock can be passed through and the apparatus looked up. A pin f<1>, Fig. 6, rocking with the upper valve, is connected by a link g<1> with a pin h' working in a vertical slot i<1> in the case of the register. The pin h<1> carries the spring pawl k<1> for actuating the ratchet-wheel a<2> of the counter, and a projection o' locks the wheel when the pawl is in its highest position. The registration is by this arrangement always effected before the liquid flows. A series of holes are provided in the dial, and a plug may be inserted into any one of these to indicate, when the index-finger reaches it, that a definite number of measurements have been made. To prevent the register from being tampered with, the removable front face has a projecting lip which is overlapped by a guard on the actuating-handle.

Abstract: 19,527. Nolan, J. H. Aug. 24. Umbrellas and walking-sticks combined.- The frame of the umbrella is made detachable from the stick, and may be compactly rolled and placed inside the latter, which then forms a walking- stick. The runner c, Fig. 3, is made to fit in the end of the stick A, and is secured by a spring catch f which can be released by a push - button. The top-notch is secured to a rod a having an extension i passing through the runner, acting as a guide while the umbrella is opened prior to attaching the stick. The runner is prevented from rotating in the stick by a pin and notch g. The umbrella is maintained in the open position by a spriog catch e on the stick, a square shoulder on the rod a acting as a stop. A ferrule end B, Fig. 2, may be attached to the stick in the same manner as the runner, to form a complete walking-stick, the handle C being detachable.

Granted: 1898-11-12
Abstract: 29,767. Smith, W. B. Dec. 16. Incandescent gas lamps.-Relates to the manufacture of mantles. Instead of coating refractory substances which are bad conductors of heat with other substances which are better conductors, in the manner described in Specification No. 2110, A.D. 1890, conducting and non-conducting refractory substances are mixed or combined before being applied to the base or mantle. Oxides or salts of chromium, cobalt, and tungsten are mentioned as conducting - substances, and oxides or salts of aluminium, magnesium, potassium, and silicon as non-conducting substances, and may be used either with or without other refractory substances. Mantles thus prepared may be employed as bases for further treatment. Mantles or bases of mantles may be manufactured from a mixture of aluminium and chromium oxides or salts, with or without other refractory substances ; and when thorium oxide is used, chromium oxide is either mixed therewith or is employed in the manner described in the prior Specification.

Granted: 1899-03-18
Abstract: 10,878. Breeden & Co., J., and Breeden, F. May 12. Lathes; drilling; serewing.- Relates to apparatus for dressing and screwing valves and cocks parts of gas and water fittings &c. and consists in parts in adapting the hollow centre and tools described in Specification No. 19,699, A.D. 1896, for automatic actuation. The articles to be treated are held in chucks g, Fig. 2, on a horizontal table to which intermittent rotary motion is imparted, to bring them under the tools, by means of a series of arms fixed in the shaft of the table and adapted to be engaged by an arm on a horizontal rotating shaft. A series of tools may be arranged around the same table and adapted to operate in succession upon the articles as they are carried round. In Fig. 2, A is the boring and turning apparatus, B and C the screwing and tapping apparatus, and D an apparatus similar to A for facing off the ends of the articles. The machine is driven from an overhead shaft l at each end. In the boring and turning apparatus shown in Fig. 8, the diametrically - slotted chuck or centre p is secured on the end of a sleeve n, provided with a driving-pulley n<3>, and fitted in bearings in a slide m movable vertically in a guidestandard m<2>. The slide is worked up and down, for liberating and securing the article c under treatment, by means of a cord weighted at one end and connected at the other to a rotating crank-disc m<11>, Fig. 2 ; at an intermediate part of its length the cord is wrapped around a pulley formed in one with a spur-wheel which gears with another wheel at the head of the screw m<3>. The tools are secured to a spindle q which rotates with but is adapted to slide axially in the sleeve, under the influence of a crank and connecting-rod, and thereby to project the tools through the slot in the centre and feed them over the work. For tapping, the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 9, which shows the part p down and the tool in the work, is employed. A short sleeve n is here used, and the upper end of the spindle is fitted with another short sleeve s, in the upper bearing, which is rotated alternately in opposite direction bv a chain-wheel s<2>. A leading screw projects above the spindle and works through a fixed nut t<2>. The chain-wheel is geared to a vertical shaft v<2>, Fig. 2, which carries two bevel pinions driven alternately by a segmental wheel on a horizontal shaft w. The screwing-tool is worked in the same way. '

Granted: 1900-07-28
Abstract: 19,262. Joseph, J. H., and McMullen, G. Sept. 25. Race games.- Fig. 1 shows a top plan of the apparatus constructed for use by four players, Fig. 2 a transverse section on the line x-x of Fig 1, Fig. 5 a diagrammatic perspective view of the tappet mechanism for operating the apparatus, a portion of the mechanism being represented as turned through a right-angle, Fig. 6 a plan of the marble-gallery and starting-mechanism, and Fig. 7 a detail view showing the release arrangement for the starting-barrier. The dummy figures E<4> are each carried upon an endless cord E<2> which passes round a pair of rollers E, D', there being as many rollers, dummies, and operating-mechanisms as there are players. The rollers, the pairs. of which are contained in conceutric compartments below the top board A<3>, are operated by the contestants by means of silent ratchets. On a depression of the knob B, the lever B<2> with its connections is operated in such a manner that the rod D pushes against the roller D' and causes it to revolve, which in so doing carries the dummy with it. To indicate the passing of the winning post by the first dummy which arrives there, a coloured marble F<4> is released, the marble corresponding to the particular dummy. This movement is effected by a stop on the dummy-post E<3> striking a lever the up-tnrned end F<3> of which prevents the rolling down to the gallery K of the marble F'. When the lever is struck, the marble is disengaged. On starting the game, the lever L is moved along, with the result that the bell L<8> is sounded and, by reason of the simultaneous movement of the lever L<2>, the lever M, Fig. 7, is released and the starting-barrier allowed to swing out of the way. A spinning-device P<1> is provided for deciding which horse and press-button are to be allotted to each player. The marbles are prevented from abutting upon the upturned ends of the levers by a slide J' which is moved by hand on the last lap being reached.
