Title: A New or Improved Rotary Brush for Brushing and Cleaning Hubs, Spokes, and the like.
Inventor: THOMSON JAMES
Filed: 1899-05-20
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 10,639. Thomson, J., Thomson, S. E., and Thomson, J. A. May 20. Spoke brushes. - Several brushes, preferably with twisted wire stems, are attached to a common handle so that several spokes of a carriage wheel and the adjacent parts of the hub may be cleaned simultaneously. The brush stems G, Fig. 2, are fixed to arms B pivoted at C to a plate A which rotates upon a spindle F fixed to the handle M or is fixed to a loose spindle rotating in the handle. The spokes &c. of a rotating wheel may thus be cleaned while the handle is held and reciprocated. The plate A carries a toothed wheel E, which may be clamped to the plate by a nut H. The wheel E engages with toothed sectors on the ends of the arms B, so that the distance of the stems G from the spindle F may be adjusted for wheels with hubs of different size. The arms B or the stems G may be rigidly fixed to the plate A or spindle F. The stems D, E, Fig. 4, of two brushes may be carried by a single stem A, which is inserted in the clamp A, Fig. 3, on the end of an arm corresponding to the arm B, Fig. 2. The brush shown in Fig. 4 may be used separately.

Title: Improvements in Boat Lowering and Disconnecting Gear.
Inventor: PETT FRANK SAMUEL
Filed: 1899-06-20
Granted: 1900-06-20
Abstract: 12,849. Pett, F. S. June 20. Boat -disengaging gear.-Relates to improvements in the gear described in Specifications No. 14,741, A.D. 1891, and No. 9006, A.D. 1896, in which the lowering-tackles are held in engagement with the hooks by means of a chain or wire span d Fig. 1. The after hook e is mounted between plates f, on a pin on which is a shackle g connected by a sling h<2> to the keel. The other ends of the plates are shackled to a chain coupled to the sternpost, and the ends of the pivot pin are coupled by slings to the gunwale. The side plates are cut away, as shown, to allow the lever end e' of the hook to be gripped, and they have between them a distance-piece which also forms a spring catch for the lever. The forward hook is usually a fixed one, and is connected to the keel and stem in the manner shown in Fig. 1, but it may also be made movable like the after hook. The lever e' may be locked in position by a split pin placed between the spring catch and the side plate. Instead of using the distance-piece as a catch for the lever, it may be locked by a pivoted spring catch, or may be secured by a lanyard and pin. The arrangement of the side plates and hook may be variously modified to provide hand room for the handle e'. The tackle rings or shackles have bosses or projections c, c, Figs. 12 and 13, to prevent the spar rings from slipping upwards.

Abstract: 4704. Watson, W. March 12. Change-boxes; developing; envelopes for plates and the like.-Relates to the use of envelopes for plates and the like, one plate being carried in each envelope, from which it is transferred to the camera, and in which it can be developed after exposure. The envelope containing the plate is closed by two folds f<1>, f<2>, Fig. 1. To transfer a plate to the camera, the mouth of the envelope is fitted on a flange surrounding the opening leading into the camera, where it is clamped by a pivoted bar d; the folds f<1>, f<2> are then straightened out as shown in dotted lines, and the plate drops into the camera. After exposure, the plate is transferred back to the envelope by inverting the camera. A wedge-shaped piece, Fig. 5, containing a light-trapped passage h, j for the developing - solution, is now in serted in the mouth of the envelope. After the plate is developed, the solution is poured out through the openings k, l. The wedge-shaped piece is held on the envelope by two spring wire clips y, y. The envelope may also be used for transferring the plate to a separate dark slide, and to a separate developing-box.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture or Production of Substantive Dyes or Colouring Matters.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-05-03
Granted: 1901-03-23
Abstract: 8229. Johnson, G. W., [Kalle & Co.]. May 3. Dyes, artificial.-Dye-stuffs which contain sulphur and dye unmordanted cotton in a bath made with Glauber's salt or common salt, deep brown shades capable of being rendered faster by subsequent treatment with salts of chromium, copper, or iron, are produced by heating, neutralizing, and highly concentrating the waste lyes obtained in the manufacture of sulphite-cellulose, and heating them with an alkaline sulphide and sulphur until the mixture is quite dry and friable. The temperature may range from 150‹ to 280‹ C., but, if it exceeds 200‹ C., it is advisable to exclude air during the process and during the cooling of the product. Better results are obtained if the waste lyes are freed from lime before concentration.

Title: Improvements in Locking Mechanism for the Dies of Screw Cutting Die Heads
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1901-04-23
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 8371. Haddan, H. J., [Oster Manufacturing Co.]. April 23. Screwing.-A die-head has a body 1, screwed for attachment to a lathe spindle and slotted to receive the dies 3, operated by a cam plate 4 with a handle 15. The handle has a cover-plate, which can be rocked on the arm against a spring 22 to release a dog 14 from a slot in a stop plate 10 adjustable on the body. A stop 13 on the plate regulates the closed position of the dies, in which they are locked by the dog 14. A stop on the arm limits the opening of the dies by engaging one of them, but by removing the stop the cam plate can be rotated till it is disengaged from the dies, allowing them to be removed. A slide 30, let into the body, has an arm 32 with an adjustable stop 33 in the path of the work. The slide has a cam 35 capable of disengaging the dog 14, so that, after the desired length of thread has been cut, the arm 32 is pushed back against a spring 41, causing the cam 35 to disengage the dog and allow the dies to open. The cam 35 is laterally adjustable on the slide to suit the position of the plate 10.

Abstract: 8389. Tuerk, A. April 10. Winding mechanism and apparatus.-When the pivoted armature 10 of an electromagnet 7 is attracted, a spring arm 5 turning with it drives the winding-wheel 4 of a mainspring 6 by thrusting at a pin 14 on its face, and reverse rotation is prevented by a pawl 13 engaging peripheral shoulders 12. The circuit is made by the revolution in the train of the clock of a disc 19 bearing an insulating-pin 17 and a conducting-pin 18, the former of which lifts a jointed-arm terminal 15 and lets it drop upon the latter. The circuit is broken by an arm 20, turning with the armature, striking the arm terminal away from the conducting- pin.
