Title: Improvements in Automatic Stopping Attachments for Paper Embossing Machines.
Inventor: PRINCE JOHANN ALEXANDER
Filed: 1898-02-25
Granted: 1898-04-30
Abstract: 4712. Prince, J. A. Feb. 25. Embossing.-A paper-embossing machine is provided with an apparatus for automatically stopping the machine when a doubled or otherwise thickened portion of the paper is about to pass between the embossing and impression cylinders, or when the embossed paper becomes wrapped upon the impression cylinder. The belt-shifter F, sliding upon guide-rods f, f<1>, is connected by a link m<4> to an arm m<2> which is fixed to a rocking shaft M mounted upon fixed brackets m. A handle m<3> is fixed to a second arm m<1> which is fixed to the shaft M, and a spring N connected to the arm m<2> and the guide f<1> tends to shift the belt E from the fast to the loose pulley. When the machine is running, the belt is held upon the fast pulley by means of a bar 0 pivoted to the arm m' and formed with a notch which engages with a fixed catch P. The web of paper to be embossed passes over a vertically-adjustable roller G above which is mounted a roller J at such a distance as to permit paper of the normal thickness to pass without causing the roller J to rotate ; when a thicker portion of the paper passes, the roller J is rotated, with the result that a suitably-shaped cam K on the shaft of the roller J raises a pivoted lever L which strikes a lug o<2> fixed to the bar O. When the bar has been thus released, the belt shifter is moved by the action of the spring N, the machine stops, and the thick part of the paper is removed by an attendant. A roller Q is mounted close to the impression cylinder C, and is connected by means of a belt q<1> to the roller J ; when the embossed paper accidentally wraps itself upon the cylinder C, the roller Q rotates and causes the bar 0 to be released.

Title: Improvements in Cork Extractors.
Inventor: WILLIAMS HARRY JUDSON
Filed: 1899-02-14
Granted: 1899-03-18
Abstract: 3258. Williams, H. J. Feb. 14. Corkscrews and cork-drawers.-The corkscrew E and its spindle D are screw-threaded in opposite directions, the threads on the spindle D engaging the worm-wheel C operated by the hand-lever C<1>, while the corkscrew works through the longitudinally-movable nut F. The nut is prevented from rotating within the barrel by the screw f engaging in the slot f<1>. The top of the barrel is closed by the cap or plug G, which is formed with a conical, ball, or other bearing for the end d of the spindle D. When the bottle is in position, the hand-lever is pulled downwards into the position shown, to insert the corkscrew in the cork, the rotation of the corkscrew being effected by the combined action of the nut F and the screw and worm-wheel D, C. The return movement of the lever first withdraws the cork, the spindle D and wheel C acting as a rack and pinion, while the nut F moves upward with the screw. By continuing the upward movement of the lever, after the spindle D reaches the plug G, the wheel C again acts as a worm-wheel on the spindle D, to retract the corkscrew from the cork and return the nut F to its normal position.

Patent GB-190110661-A (GB)
Title: Novel or Improved Means through the Medium of which the Bolt of a Night-latch or Lock is, or the Levers of a Combination Night-latch are, operated by a Key.
Inventor: FOX HUMPHREY
Filed: 1901-05-23
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 10,661. Fox, H. May 23. Locks, key ; latches.- Bolts of night-latches or locks, or the levers of combination nightlatches, are operated through the medium of a pivoted follower moved by a key with a shorter bitt than usual. Fig. 1 shows the invention as applied to a night-latch. The follower A, which may have one or two horns d, is pivoted to the casing by means of the key-pin a. The key engages shoulders c on the follower to turn the same, thereby causing one of the horns d to press against the tail end e of the bolt B to withdraw the bolt. Projections f extend from the horns to form distance-pieces between the follower and the capplate. The bitt of the key is made much shorter than usual, and the latch may be provided with ward plates. If the key has a solid pin, the follower is pivoted on a bush or hollow pivot to receive the same. In the case of an ordinary lock, as shown in Fig. 4, the follower A has a nosing d adapted to engage the tumbler and bolt of the lock, and is pivoted by the key pin a to the casing. The follower has a central hole h to receive the pipe of the key, and a short notch i to receive the key bitt. A V-shaped notch in the follower is engaged by a spring pin k, to prevent accidental turning of the follower. It is only necessary to turn the follower half a revolution to lock or unlock. The follower may be provided with an additional notch i<1> and nose d<1>, so that only a half revolution is required, under any circumstances, to operate the bolt. The follower may be employed to raise a tumbler and move back a latching-bolt. When applied to a combination night-latch, as shown in Fig. 6, the follower A consists of as many plates l as there are levers or lifters m. The plates l are pivoted to to the front plate of the casing, and are at varying levels to correspond with the nosings of the key. The portions of the plates which raise the levers are further from the pivot than the portions upon which the key bitt acts. One or each plate is formed with a shoulder to prevent the key from being turned back too far, or, when the latch is operated by turning the key in either direction, a projection is formed at the bottom of one or each plate immediately above the key axis.

The typebars 6 are pivoted on a rod 7 seated in a slot iu the segmental comb 9, which is lifted for writing upper case characters. The bars rest on a pad 14 supported by arms 16. Each typebar is provided with a returning-spring 18, and is actuated by a key lever 27, sub-lever 25,. and link 22. The sub-levers are slotted to engage the fixed fulcrum rod 30. The key levers are tensioned upwards by springs 32, and are provided with fulcrum points 39, 40, of which the former is normally in engagement with the fixed fulcrum plate 38. Notches 42 engage with a flange 41 on the fulcrum plate so as to prevent longitudinal movement of the key levers. During the first part of the downward stroke of a key lever it turns about the point 39 as a fulcrum, and the leverage on the type-bar is considerable. The fulcrum then shifts to the point 40, the leverage being reduced and high speed of the type-bar obtained. The escapement dog rocker 49 is actuated by a universal bar 43. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the sub-lever 25 is formed with two fulcrum points a, b which co-operate with a fulcrum plate 57. The fulcrum plates 38, 57 may be made adjustable in the manner described in Specification No. 678, A.D. 1901. Reference is also made to Specification No. 14,894, A.D. 1900.

Granted: 1902-10-16
Abstract: 22,838. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfakriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Nov. 12. Anthraquinone derivatives; dyes, artificial.- Alkylamidoalphylamidoanthraquinones, or derivatives thereof, are produced by condensing alkylamidoanthraquinones or derivatives thereof, containing, in addition to the alkylamido groups, negative substitnents such as halogen atoms, nitro or hydroxy groups or the like, with primary aromatic amines, such as aniline o-and p-toluidine, alpha-naphthylamine or the like, with or without the addition of condensing-agents. When tertiary alkylamidoanthraquinones are used, an alkyl radicle may be split off during the process. The sulphonic acids of these condensation products dye unmordanted wool fast shades of red, blue, or green, according to the relative positions of the alkylamido and alphylamido groups. Examples are given in which p-toluidine is condensed into p-bromomonomethylamidoanthraquinone; pdibromo - alpha1 alpha3 - dimethyldiamidoanthraquinone ; alpha1 alpha3 - nitrodimethylamidoanthraquinone; alpha1 a3- bromodimethylamidoanthraquinone ; alpha1 alpha2- chlorodimethylamidoanthraquinone, from which results not only alpha1 alpha2-methylamido-p-toluidoanthraquinone, but also a small proportion of alpha1 alpha2-di-p-toluidoanthraquinone (quinizarin green) ; alpha1 alpha2-nitromethylamidoanthraquinone; symmetrical p-dinitro-alpha1 alpha3-dimethyldiamidoanthraquinone; alpha2 alpha3-dinitro alpha1-methylamidoanthraquinone which yields alpha1,-methylamido-alpha2,-nitro-alpha3-p-toluidoanthraquinone; alpha2, alpha4-dinitro-alpha1- methylamidoanthraquinone; alpha1-methylamido-#, alpha2 - dinitroanthraquinone, which yields alpha1-methylamido-#1-nitro-alpha2- p-toluidoanthraquinone; and with alpha, alpha3-oxydimethylamidoanthraquinone. The sulphonation of the foregoing products is effected, for example, by heating them with sulphuric monohydrate on a water bath until a sample is clearly soluble in ammonia.

Title: Improvements in Stuffing Boxes Suitable for Turbines.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1902-05-17
Granted: 1902-10-09
Abstract: 11,405. Ransford, R. B., [Rateau, A. C. E., and Sautter, HarlÚ, & Co.]. May 17. Stuffing-boxes. - Relates to stuffing - boxes for steam turbines in which the bearings of the turbine shaft are placed outside the casing, and the object is to ensure perfect steam-tightness at the places where the shaft leaves the casing. This is effected by providing round the shaft at these points a ring-like chamber or cavity, which is connected with a reservoir containing fluid kept at constant pressure. As shown in Fig. 1, the annular chamber 2 is formed between a bush 1 and a conical cap 5, which is formed in two pieces and is kept in place by a screwed cap 6 and divided rings 7 pressed against the shaft and against the cap 5 by springs 8, 9. The rings 7 are prevented from rotating by a projection 12 entering a notch in the cap 6. The annular chamber 2 communicates with a reservoir kept at constant pressure by a pipe 3. The pressure regulator is shown in section in Fig. 2. In this, the branch 20 is connected to the steam supply pipe, the branch 22 to the reservoir, and the branch 21 to a suitable low-pressure part of the turbine. Two pistons 14, 15, connected to a diaphragm 17 acted on by the atmosphere and by a spring 18, control the admission or exhaust of fluid to or from the reservoir, A deficiency of pressure in the reservoir results in the piston 14 rising and admitting steam from the pipe 20, while an excess of pressure results in the piston 15 descending and permitting fluid to escape through the pipe 21. Reference is made to Specification No. 11,701, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Rotary engines &c]..
