Abstract: 3054. Russell, J. B., and Wardrop, T., [trading as Russell, Wardrop, & Co.]. Feb. 8. Ironing and mangling machines.-Relates to pressure-regulating devices for the rollers of glossing and like machines, and consists in providing means whereby, when the pressure screw is adjusted to a certain degree, the several parts become looked together to prevent further pressure from being applied. A jacketed roller b is supported in a cradle a, and the pressure is regulated by a screw c working in a sleeve d which carries the tension spring e. The screw c is provided with a collar comprising three parts g<1>, g<2>, g<3>, the part g<1> being formed with ratchet teeth, the part g<2> being cylindrical, and the part g<3> square. The depth of the part g<2> is made about equal to the thickness of the felt on the roller b. A pawl h and a finger h' in one therewith are pivoted to a plate i resting on the cradle a, another finger and if desired another pawl being provided on the other side of the collar. The fingers and pawls are pressed inwards by springs, but in the normal position the fingers h<1> rest against the cylindrical part g<2> of the collar and hold the pawl out of engagement. When the collar is moved away from the cradle by an amount equal to the depth of the part g<2>, the fingers pass on to the part g<3>, as shown in Fig. 3, and the pawls engage the teeth of the part g<1> and lock the screw against further rotation.

Abstract: 24,553. Allford, H. Oct. 22. Gas cooking-stoves.- A gas-heated kitchen range comprises an oven and boiler adapted to be heated by an incandescent gas fire in the grate, or by burners inside the oven and beneath the boiler. A grilling - apparatus is fitted to the front of the grate, and all parts are constructed so as to facilitate assembling them in place or dismantling them for packing and warehousing. The range, shown in Fig. 2 with its doors, front, top, and grate removed, is built of walls e, f, &c. secured to a base or tray g by lugs 14 and to each other by flange joints. The oven k rests on baffles l, m, n cast with the base g, and its back end fits into a square formed by flanges raised upon the surface of the back plate. The boiler y is L-shaped in plan, and is supported above a burner z by flanges 15 on the walls &c. The boiler partly encloses the fire, which is heated by front and side burners 3, 4, shown in plan in Fig. 5, supplied with gas by independent taps &c. The oven may be heated by gases passing round the oven from the fire as shown by the arrows, and thence to the outlet i; but, alternatively, it may be heated by the burners p. In this case, air is supplied to the oven through the apertures r, s in the oven bottom and the base g, and the oven is ventilated by means of the aperture q in its roof. The gases pass into the top oven flue between the baffles x, and round the oven to the outlet i. The air inlet through the apertures r, s and the outlet through the aperture q is controlled by plates u, t movable on guide-pins u<1>. They are connected by levers v, and are operated by a finger-piece u<3>. The griller, Figs. 6 and 7, consists of a box with a top lid, flanges 12 for upholding a bar 11 fitted with hooks, and a tray 13. Flanges on its rear sides slide in flanges or beadings 7 on the front of the fire-place, and a forked lever 9 enables the griller to be fixed in front of the fire. To effect this, the griller is raised into position, and the lever 9 is moved aside until one of the branches 8 enters one of two apertures in the cross-bar beneath the grate front.

Abstract: 23,846. Hawkes, W. C., and Cleburne, E. J. Oct. 27. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains; miniature signals.-Relates to systems of the kind shown in Fig. 2 in which the trains A, B, and C carry each a source of electric energy, a signal indicator and devices making contact with track contact rails m arranged to overlap and extend along the track so as to indicate on each train the presence of another train in an adjacent section. The invention consists in the arrangement of the circuits and apparatus on the train, which is provided with a dynamo or accumulator k, Fig. 1, a miniature semaphore c operated by an electro-magnet d, lamps b, b<1>, a bell g, switches j, i for code signalling between trains on adjacent sections and a testing-switch h to be used by the driver to ascertain the working order of his apparatus. When two trains are in adjacent sections, a circuit is closed from the dynamo k on one train through lamps b, the magnet d, the bell g, to the track rail r, and thence to the other train from the track rail r, through the bell g, the magnet d, the lamps b' to the contact rail p, which is identical with the contact rail o in the adjacent section, and from the rail o to the dynamo k on the firstmentioned train. At switch points, contacts are actuated by the movements of the points to connect sections of the contact rails with those on the branch line, when the points are in position to permit trains to pass on to the branch. Similar switches are operated by the ordinary semaphores to indicate the ' danger ' positions on the train. Crossing - gate signals; alarm apparatus for warning platelayers and the like.-Crossing- gates may be fitted with lamps, bells, and sliding shoe contacts similarly to trains, and similar portable sets may be carried by platelayers to receive warning of the approach of trains.

Abstract: 2474. Lorrain, J. G., [Timken Roller Bearing Co.]. Jan. 30. Sorting by gauging.- Relates to a machine for gauging and assorting roller bearings &c., in which a number of gauges are arranged in co-operative relation to a rotatable member adapted to move the rollers past the gauges. The gauges, which are adjusted to measure between limits, are adapted to open electric circuits and thereby release trap-doors to allow the rollers to fall down corresponding shoots. The rollers are fed down a shoot 49 to pockets in a disk 50, which is intermittently rotated to advance the rollers by means of arms 54 thereon engaging fingers 16 on a rotatable table 6. The fingers 16 are mounted on carriers 13, from which project spring-pressed plungers 17 bearing against the ends of the rollers and holding them up to the bevelled edges of a series of metal plates 18 forming a runway, which may be tapered to correspond with tapered rollers. Mounted above each plate 18 is a bracket 20 supporting a gauging - device which comprises a vertically-adjustable member 21 provided with lugs 26 slotted to receive plungers 27, which are held, normally, in their raised positions by springs 35 and adjusted to the different sizes to be gauged. The plunger has a slot 28, into which projects a pin 29 on the end of levers 30, which are pivoted at 31 and provided with contact parts 33 at their upper ends adapted to open an electric circuit when the plunger 27 is raised by its engagement with the roller, the diameter of which corresponds to the setting of the particular plunger 27. Interposed between the gauges is a corresponding trap-door 39, normally held by means of an electro-magnet 42 to close the openings 40 above shoots 41, but which, when the circuit is broken, is released to allow the rollers to fall down the shoots. The trap-doors 39 are provided with extensions 44 adapted to engage the teeth of a ratchet-wheel 45 on the table 6 and are thereby returned to their normal position for the succeeding operation. In Fig. 11 is shown a diagram of the wiring for the system of gauges. The respective magnets 42 are connected by wires 61, 62 through the contacts 33 with the main wires 58, 60 respectively.
