Title: Improvements in Gearing for Transmitting Rotary Motion, applicable in Velocipedes, Carrier-tricycles, Motor-vehicles and the like.
Inventor: RYLAND THOMAS JAMES
Filed: 1897-11-03
Granted: 1898-11-03
Abstract: 25,524. Ryland, T. J., and Bird, E. Nov. 3. Motor road vehicles, driving-gear for. Relates to driving - mechanism for bicycles and carrier tricycles, also applicable for motor vehicles. A bevel-wheel d, Fig. 1, on the crank axle gears with a pinion e on a longitudinal spindle e which drives the rear wheel by worm, spiral, or skew gearing e<2>, g. The positions of the bevel and worm gear may be reversed, or worm gear may be used at both ends. The spindle is supported at one end by a bracket i adjustably clamped on the stays a, and at the other by a bracket h bolted to one of the stays. This construction allows of the gear being applied to the ordinary diamond frame, as built for a chain-gear cycle, without alteration. The acting faces of the worm-wheel are fitted with balls k, Fig. 4, which are seated in transverse holes drilled before the teeth are cut down, and in such position as to embrace more than half the diameter of the balls. Retaining-plates l prevent the escape of the balls sideways.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Classifying and Sorting Ore, Grain, Flour, and similar Materials.
Inventor: ANCEL JACQUES
Filed: 1897-12-22
Granted: 1898-11-26
Abstract: 30,310. Ancel, J. Dec. 22. Sifting and separating ores, grain, flour, &c.-Relates to improvements in the invention described in Specification No. 6864, A.D. 1897. The materials, such as ores, grain, flour, &c., are fed into an inclined bolting- cylinder A provided with a longitudinal cleaning-brush B'. The cylinder grades the materials into five classes according to size, the fifth or largest size grade being discharged without f u r t h e r treatment. The first four are grades independently subjected to the following treatment :-A feed roll c allows the material to pass to a shoot d from which it passes by the valve d' to a vertical shoot E', an upwardly-ascending current of air in which carries over the lighter material to be graded in the hoppers I', P, P. Worms or screws E, I, turned by the current of air, help to scatter the material. The heaviest grade passes the aperture e at which the air exhausted by the fan F enters, and is discharged by the worm H. Dust is collected in the chambers J<1>, J<2>, J<3>, common to all four grades of sifted material, and in the receivers K, K' which contain water. The compartments I<1>, I<2>, P are provided at the bottom with adjustable valves which, if opened, allow air to be drawn in to agitate the particles and remove fine dust that may have settled with them.

Patent GB-189807166-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: THACKER SAMUEL
Filed: 1898-03-24
Granted: 1899-03-04
Abstract: 7166. Thacker, S. March 24. Platen presses.-Fig. 3 shows a side view of a machine with the platen in open position or away from the type bed a, which is fixed in vertical position on the framing b. Four platens d are mounted on a square block or frame c pivoted in a frame e carried by the upper ends of two pairs of parallel arms f pivoted at f<1>, f<2> to the framing. The platens are moved to and from the type bed by rods g connected at one end to crank-pins g* on discs on the shaft h and at the other end to the eccentric ends c* of the pivot shaft c<6> of the platen block. The shaft h is driven from a shaft i<1> driven by the treadle gear h<2>, or by power. Each platen is provided with grippers j pivoted at j<2> and operated, as the platen block is rotated, by a fixed cam on the frame e. Taking-off grippers m<8> take the printed sheet and deposit it on the delivery table b<1>. The grippers m<8> are carried by arms m<1> on axles m<2> operated by an arm m<3> and a rod n* connected to the inking-roller frame u. The sheets may be delivered direct to the delivery table by opening the grippers j at the proper time. Intermittent rotary movement of the platen block and platens is effected by a notched disc, engaged by a spring pawl on a disc mounted loosely on the shaft c<6>. The pawl disc is moved by a rod operated by a cam on the shaft h, so that the platen block is rotated a quarter turn at each movement, and the platens are brought successively into printing position. The platens are locked for printing by a gate o pivoted in a bracket e<1> on the platen-carrying frame e, and operated to engage recesses in a plate n rotating with the platen block. The gate o is operated by a cam o<7> on a bar o<4> pivoted at one end to the framing and sliding through a lug o<5> in the bracket e<1>. The impression is thrown on and off by giving a partial turn to a bar q<1> which winds a chain q' connected to a stop q on an arm pivoted to the framing. The block q is normally in position to engage a screw r in an arm r' on the shaft c<6>, and turn the latter to throw the platens forward into printing position as they move to the type bed. When the block q is lifted by the chain q<2> and rod q<1> it is clear of the screw r. The roller frame u is oscillated by links t connected to the platen frame. The ink plates are rotated by a pawl on an arm operated from the shaft of the arm u<2> carrying the supply roller. In a modification, one fixed platen is used, and an intermittently-rotating set of sheet carriers rotates round it. The Provisional Specification states that in large machines the arms f may be provided on their lower ends with segmental racks gearing with fixed horizontal racks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Production of Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: FOURNIER MAX
Filed: 1898-07-02
Granted: 1899-02-04
Abstract: 14,616. Fournier, M. July 2. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus for the manufacture of acetylene gas, and has for its object the automatic supply of the calcium carbide. The carbide is contained in bags h placed in separate compartments in a box g with inclined sides, and is prevented from falling out by folding covers provided with nose pieces i<1> which lie on projections k of a sliding regulator l. The box g is connected with the generator d by a shaft f. The regulator l is connected at m to one arm n of a lever pivoted at o, the other arm n' of which is adapted to be engaged by a pin p on the rod p<1> which is connected to the gasometer a. To feed the carbide gradually, the projections k of the regulator l are made in a series of sizes, so that only one of the carbide holders is emptied into the generator at one time. When one side of the box is emptied, a projection l<2> on the regulator l engages a slide l<1> which operates the carbide holders on the other side of the box. In a modification, the rod l is actuated by a cam attached to the gasometer.

Title: An Improved Method of Decorating Metal.
Inventor: PATERSON JAMES
Filed: 1899-05-12
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 10,073. Paterson, J., and Dickson, W. May 12. Etching.-In the process of decorating surfaces, especially surfaces of the precious metals, by photo-etching, the parts to be etched are coated with a sensitive film, and the other parts are coated with varnish, beeswax, or other resist ; by means of a negative the design is printed upon the sensitive film, and the design is developed, washed, and burnt in, preferably by heating the back of the plate; the plate is afterwards etched, and finally cleaned, polished, gilded, or finished in any desired manner. The sensitive film preferably consists of three ounces of fish glue, five scruples of ammonium bichromate, and eight ounces of water. When etching silver, the biting-in is effected by two baths applied alternately, one composed of bichromate of potash containing a little sulphuric acid, and the other of weak sulphuric acid ; or the first bath may be composed of iodine, iodide of potassium, and water, and the second may be a solution of cyanide of potassium. When etching gold, the biting-in is effected by an electro-etching process, the bath employed being preferably a ten per cent. solution of cyanide of potassium. In treating German silver, a bath of perchloride of iron may be employed, and the etched surface is silver-plated or gilded. When treating curved surfaces of metal, the design may be printed upon a film produced by coating a sheet of glass with a mixture of stripping-collodion and castor oil, and then applying a layer of sensitized fish glue to this coating. This film is cut out to the required size and shape, carefully removed, and finally applied to the metal surface with the sensitized part of the film in contact with the metal.
