Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Drying and Carbonising Textile Piece Goods.
Filed: 1905-09-04
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 17,836. Tomlinson-Haas, Ltd., [Haas, F.]. Sept. 4. Gases, apparatus for treating with.-Apparatus for drying and carbonizing woollen piece goods &c. is constructed with a number of drying-chambers A, C, Fig. 1, alternating with air-heating chambers B, D, a carbonizing-chamber E being suitably interposed in the series but only communicating with the drying- chamber through a pipe h provided with a damper i. The fabric a is directed backwards and forwards over driven rollers d in the chamber A and passes at the bottom of the chamber B into the chamber C, through which it is guided over rollers d. It then passes across the top of the chamber D into the carbonizing-chamber E, where it is directed vertically round rollers f. A fan F draws in air along a vertical passage at the side of the chamber E, across the chamber D heated by pipes e, where it becomes heated, and passes through a vertical aperture at the opposite corner into the chamber C, across which and the chambers B, A it is drawn in a similar manner, i.e. laterally, so as to encounter the fabric substantially in the direction of the weft. The chamber E is heated by pipes g, and openings k permit a circulation of air, when the damper i is opened, to remove acid vapours, the heat so passing off being utilized in the drying- chambers. An approximately air-tight aperture is provided for the passage of the fabric through the divisions between the chambers by leading it over a guide-rail c, Fig. 3, above which a hinged flap b is arranged. Additional drying chambers may be provided before the carbonizing-chambers, and others may be arranged behind it, unheated air being driven through the last chamber when it is desired to cool off the material after carbonizing.

Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 12,064. Perry, J. L. March 12, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Surfacing and polishing; sand-papering.-Sandpaper is clamped on a drum by means of a fixed clamp 19, Fig. 3, and a clamp 25 mounted on a number of levers 22 disposed in a recess along the drum. The levers are mounted loosely on a shaft 20, and are attached by springs 23, Fig. 1, to collars 21 fixed to the shaft. The movable part of each clamp is provided with diagonal slots by which it is mounted on pins 180, so that the clamp is closed or opened by moving the movable part longitudinally. This longitudinal movement is effected by means of a bar 29 which engages in recesses in the ends of the movable part and in a recess 300'in a collar 30, the bar being used as a lever. The sand-paper is tightened on the drum by rotating the shaft 20, the springs 23 transmitting the force exerted and bringing the clamp 25 into the position shown in Fig. 3. A lever 34, Fig. 4, is used to turn the shaft, and a pawl 32 engaging a segment 31 holds the shaft tin position. A rod 26, fixed to levers 22 and moving in slots 170, acts by centrifugal force when the drum is rotating to maintain the sand-paper in a stretched condition.

Abstract: 19,697. Kando, R. von. Sept. 3. Motor road vehicles locomotives and tramway engines. - In an electrically - propelled vehicle, driven by induction motors operating through cranks and connecting-rods, the motor shaft is mounted in bearings on the frame of the vehicle and in the stator of the motor ; the stator is sup - ported so as to be capable of adjustment in an horizontal direction only, upon a frame adapted to resist the torque and free to move in a vertical direction only, or vice versa, springs being provided to take the weight of the motor. Fig. 1 illustrates the invention diagrammatically. The sbaft 1 of the motor is supported in bearings 2 in the frame of the vehicle. The stator 3 is suspended so as to be capable of oscillation on pivots 10, upon a frame 5 by means of rigid supports 4. The frame 5 is suspended from fixed points 6 on the frame of the vehicle by springs 7, and is guided vertically by parallel rods 8 pivoted to the frame 5 at one end and to the vehicle frame at the other end, As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the frame is formed of cross girders 11 secured to end girders 12 seated upon springs 7, which are supported by projections upon the frame 14 of the vehicle. The frame 5 is vertically guided in its movement by engaging blocks 15 on the vehicle frame. The stator 3 is supported so as to be capable of oscillation by means of lugs 17 resting on bolsters with convex supporting-surfaces and seated upon the cross girders 11. Lugs take under the cross girders and limit the upward movement of the stator.

Title: An Improved Three Speed Gear for Cycles.
Filed: 1907-10-22
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 23,331. Kimberley, F. A., and James Cycle Co. Oct. 22. Driving-mechanism.-In a three-speed epicyclic gear for cycles, the chain-wheel c<1> is mounted on a sleeve c connected to a pinion-carrier b by a freewheel clutch. The pinions on this carrier gear with teeth on the hub a and with one part g' of a two-part sun-wheel. An internal wheel e<2>, attached to the carrier b by screws e, gears with planetpinions f on a carrier f<1>, in connexion with the hub through a second one-way clutch. The pinions f also gear with the second part g<4> of the sun-wheel, the two parts of which are adapted to be locked together by interengaging teeth, or to be separated against the action of a spring d' by a rod d<6> swivelly connected to the part g<3>. A disk g, Fig. 2, integral with the part g<4> has in its outer face a circular recess g<1> and a radial recess g<2>. A cam h<12> on a spring-pressed operating-lever h engages the wall of a slot in the rod d<6> through which the lever passes; and a projection on the lever enters the recesses in the disk g. With the rod in the position shown in Fig. 3, the gearing rotates as a whole at its middle speed. When the lever is moved by suitable operating-means, the two parts of the sun-wheel are disconnected ; the projection on the lever enters the radial recess in the disk g and, holding it stationary, renders the low-speed gear operative. On the lever being moved still farther in the same direction, the disk g is still held, the parts of the sun-wheel become interlocked, and the high-speed train is in action, the hub overrunning the carrier f<1>. In place of the free-wheel clutch between the sleeve c and the carrier b, a clutch may be arranged between the chain-wheel and the sleeve. The wall of the slot in the rod d<6> may be inclined, as shown in Fig. 3, or plane. The striking- gear forms the subject-matter of Specification No. 5123, A.D. 1908.

Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 4407. Driver, J. W. Feb. 27. Mules.-For stopping a mule when the rim band becomes defective, a wire 1 coiled at one end to form a spring 2 is mounted upon a bracket 3 on the headstock, and is bent round behind the latch catch-lever B and extends over the rim band pulley D. When the band frays, the pieces which fly out catch the wire and drag it forward. The wire takes with it the lever B and places it in such a position that when the strapshifting lever A drops in its ordinary working, it is locked in position by the lever B and the strap is held on the loose pulley. A bracket 4 situated above the quadrant shaft end F prevents the latch catch-lever B from bending the wire too far back when it is replaced.
