Inventor: GRIST HENRY
Filed: 1903-02-19
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 3949. Grist, H. Feb. 19. Sifting ashes, coal, coke, refuse, sand, and gravel. -A rotating inclined cylinder A, of wire gauze or other perforated material, revolves on antifriction rollers c on a portable frame d, Fig. 1. The annular flanges b, b<1> at the ends of the cylinder are connected by bars a, f, Fig. 3, between which the sifting-medium is clamped. At the lower end are two flanges b<1> between which is a cog-wheel b<2>, driven by a chain b<3> from the wheel n, and kept taut by means of a spring or weighted lever p. The end thrust is taken by a wheel c<1>. At each end of the sieve are short, cylinders h, h<1>, through which the material is charged and discharged, and when two grades are required an extension sieve B is bolted to the cylinder h<1>. Two spring brackets w, carrying brushes x, may be fixed to the bar r for cleaning the sieve.

Granted: 1904-02-14
Abstract: 5956. Gamwell, H., and Gamwell, C. March 14. Gas meters; liquid meters.-The spindle 6 of a disc valve is jointed to a combined nut 7 and pinion 8, which is shifted longitudinally by turning a screw 9 after prepayment and is rotated to unscrew it by a crown-wheel 21 in gear with the meter. The unit of supply can be varied by changing a companion crown-wheel 22, which gears with a long pinion. Actuating-mechanism; coin action; fraud, preventing.-The screw 9 is integral with a semiglobular coin-holder 10, which is divided into quadrants by slots 11, and is normally locked by a pair of lateral spring bolts 16 and a pair of longitudinal ones, not shown. The coin 14 is inserted horizontally through a circular aperture in the front plate 15, which is of less diameter but is widened horizontally by notches 12. When thrust in far enough to push back the bolts, the coin is used as a key to turn the holder and screw one quarter of a revolution, after which, owing to the re-engagement of the bolts, it must be relinquished and allowed to fall into the receptacle below a slot 19. A pawl 30 prevents reverse rotation of the coin holder. A sharp-edged disc on the sleeve 7 shows on a scale the number of coins for which value may still be drawn. The graduations of the scale may radiate, to be read more easily. Musical instruments; displaying working-models.- In these applications, a pawl or detent controlling clockwork is substituted for the gas valve.

Title: Process for Coating Metallic Fermenting Vats and Storage Vessels for Beer.
Inventor: LAPP VALENTIN
Filed: 1903-07-03
Granted: 1903-09-17
Abstract: 14,839. Lapp, V. July 3. Coating surfaces; preservative compositions.-A process for coating the insides of metallic fermenting-vats and storage vessels for beer. The large metal vessels, built up in the fermenting or storage vaults, are first washed with water and with a solution of sodium carbonate ; the walls are then painted or rubbed with a solution of tannic acid, or of gall-apple extract, which attacks the iron and forms a tannate. After being allowed to stand for some time, the walls are washed and the painting and washing is repeated. After a third painting, the vessel is filled with water, which is heated and boiled for some time. When this water has been discharged, a solution of hops is boiled in the vessel. The walls are next coated with a warm solution of shellac. After standing for some days, the walls are painted with a saturated or supersaturated solution of gypsum, to which a little beer sediment or beer wort has been added. After the coating has dried, the vessel is filled with a mixture of water and gypsum solution, which is boiled for some hours to cause the different coatings to interact and combine.

Title: Improvements connected with Shuttle Changing Mechanism and Stop Motions of Looms for Weaving
Inventor: HOWARTH HARRY COLLINGE
Filed: 1903-10-23
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 22,929. Howarth, H. C. Oct. 23. Loom stop-motions; shuttle - changing mechanism ; weft supply, indicating failure of.-Consists of means whereby, when a predetermined quantity of weft has been drawn off a cop, the loom will be stopped, and indication given of the approaching failure of weft, or, in automatic looms, the shuttlechanging mechanism will be brought into operation. A scroll f is slowly rotated by a train of spurwheels, or wheels driven by frictional contact, from the sand roller of the takeup motion, and when the required quantity of weft has been drawn off, an incline f<x> on the scroll comes against a finger ion a bent spring lever h, so that the top end of the lever hdraws back the ordinary spring handle c, and the loom is stopped. At the same time, through a link l and a bell-crank lever k, a rod n is raised and indicates the approaching failure of weft. By means of a catch acting on a catch-wheel on the shaft of the scroll f, the train of wheels is kept locked when it is desired to turn back the sand roller, the pinion on the sand-roller shaft having being slid out of gear along the shaft. The invention may be applied to automatic looms in a similar manner to that described in Specification No. 15,270, A.D. 1903. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that, instead of actuating the mechanism direct from the sand-roller, any of the taking- up wheels may be geared to a shaft extending to the weft-fork side of the loom. A finger may be formed on the lifting-rod or indicator, and be used to actuate a finger on a clock dial to indicate the number of cops used.
