Patent GB-190312721-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Grinding Machines
Inventor: OLSSON JOENS MARTIN
Filed: 1903-06-05
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 12,721. Olsson, J. M. June 5. Enlarging and trueing round holes.-An apparatus for grinding-out hardened-steel sockets, such as those of connecting-rods, the valve-gear links of locomotives, &c., is shown in Fig. 1. The work 14 is fixed to a table 3, which is pivoted at 11 to a rocking lever or carriage and is supported at the other end by slide-faces 13. The table and work are reciprocated by the pin 5 of the slide 6, which is adjusted on the disc 7 by means of the screw 10. The axes 8, 1 of the disc 7 and the grinding-tool 2 are in line, the tool 2 being rotated and reciprocated axially through the hole in the work 14, while the disc 7 is slowly rotated. The pin 5 is gradually moved away from the centre of the disc 7 until the hole in the work is ground large enough. The pin 5, instead of being fixed on a radially-adjustable slide 6, may be fixed on a rotatable disc mounted eccentrically on the disc 7, as shown in Fig. 5.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cotton Gins.
Filed: 1903-07-10
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 15,284. Cotton Seed Co., and Stanley, J. C. W. July 10. Gins.-In ginning seed cotton, the seeds are allowed to escape from the ginning-chamber B, Fig. 2, before the short fibres are removed from them, these short fibres being afterwards removed by passing the seeds through another gin or a de-linter. The cotton is fed through a hopper into a ginning- chamber B, and the long fibres are removed, by revolving saws b, through the ribbed breast C, which is hinged to the frame at its upper end and carries a bottom board c resting against the frame. The partially de-linted seeds descend to a grating d fixed to the bottom of the breast board D, which is attached to end castings hinged to the frame at e, and oscillated to facilitate the escape of the seeds. To effect the oscillation, the board D is connected by a cord o, Fig. 1, to a bar M, which is moved forward by a lug l on a revolving disc G engaging a lug m on the bar. The return movement of the bar is effected by the weight of the board D, and the impact of projections on the end castings of the board coming against the board c assists the separation of the seeds from the cotton in the gin. The return movement of the bar M is limited by a pin 15, and the lug m is adjustable so as to regulate the movement of the board D. The disc G is mounted on a shaft driven by spur wheels from a shaft k.

Granted: 1904-07-07
Abstract: 20,140. Horsnaill, H. F. Sept. 18. Easels.-An easel comprises an arm C which is hinged at one end to the top of a camp stool A, and at the other end to a leg D. A cross-piece e is fixed on the arm, and carries a plate E having projecting edges On either side of the cross-piece, blocks F, N are pivoted so as to support in position a sketch-block or board S, and a paint-box P, placed under the projecting edges of the plate. A water-bottle M may be hung over either end of the cross-piece which may also carry ears at one end to support the corresponding end of the board or box. By pivoting the blocks eccentrically, they may be rotated in order to adjust the inclination of the board &c. When not in use, the stool and easel may be folded. The Provisional Specification states also that a piece may be pivoted to the end of the leg, so that the sketch may be raised.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for Smelting Ores in Blast Furnaces.
Inventor: KEMP WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-10-16
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 20,961. Kemp, W. Oct. 16. Blast furnaces. -Relates to a method of and means for smelting ores of copper, iron, and the like, in blast furnaces of the kind in which the fuel and more are fed separately in order that the flames and combustion products may pass through the ore body without passing through the fuel. According to the present improvements, air is supplied both to the body of the fuel and to the conduits which supply it, so that the fuel is kept cool and premature ignition is prevented. The furnace, as shown in Fig. 1, consists of a water-jacketed one chamber 3 and an ore and fuel chamber 7, which also forms the smelting-chamber. The latter is provided with a well 20 formed of refractory material, and is mounted on supports 22. Fuel from hoppers 12 passes down conduits 13 to spiral conveyers 15 by which it is fed through conduits 16 to the smelting chamber. Rows of tuyeres 4 on each side of the ore chamber and tuyeres 10 on each side of the smelting-chamber are supplied from blast mains 6. Branch blast pipe, 17 also communicate with the fuel conduits 16. To start the furnace, wood is placed in the smelting-chamber and ignited, and fuel is fed upon it through the conduits 16. The blast is started through the tuyeres 10 until an incandescent mass is produced, and then the ore is fed into the chamber 3. If the ore contains sulphur or its compounds, the tuyeres 4 are started ; otherwise they remain closed. As shown in Fig. 1, the ore is sandwiched between the fuel, which burns in contact with the ore body, the remainder of the fuel being kept cool by the air blasts from the conduits 16 and the tuyeres 10. The blast to the tuyÞres is regulated by valves 18, 19 in the pipes 5, 11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Patterns for Cutting Garments.
Inventor: CARRARA MARIE LOUISE
Filed: 1905-11-23
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 24,221. Carrara, M. L., Wakker, H., and Cuchet, H. Honegger-. Dec. 17, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Measuring for. - Relates to an extensible device to be applied to the person, in order to obtain a correct fit. A sort of skeleton bodice is made up of muslin sections a<1>, a', a<3>, a', a<5>, Fig. 1, each suitably cut and provided round the edge with stiffening. strips b to hold hooks d. Adjacent sections are connected by elastic bands c which go round four hooks and are stretched, each more or less, when the device is applied to the figure. The main point of the invention lies in keeping the sectors in situ when they are taken off the wearer. This is done by fitting over each meeting edge, distending-strips e of varying lengths, bent to the shape shown in Fig. 7 and applied between the sections while on the person. A similarly-constructed form for the sleeve is made of one section only, divided longitudinally as in Fig. 5. When the sections have been adjusted, pieces of lining, previously stitched to the outside of the sections, are spread out and pinned up to one another to form the complete bodice pattern.

Title: Improvements in Electrically Operated Photographic Copying Apparatus
Inventor: LIENEKAMPF OTTO
Filed: 1906-01-03
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 235. Lienekampf, O. Oct. 23, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Printing.-Relates to electrically-operated photographic printing apparatus, in which a single switch alternately supplies current to two circuits, including respectively the main electromotor for the feeding-mechanism of the photographic film &c., and an auxiliary motor for controlling the exposure of the film. The film A travels between a plate D and the perforated cover E of the exposing box C, containing-electric lamps. The plate D is raised and lowered by eccentrics F on the shafts G, H, driven from the main electromotor M, Fig. 2. The switch 0, with insulated contact surfaces 1, 2, is loosely mounted on the shaft G but can be turned by the latter by an arm U, Fig. 3, and abutment V. The switch can also be partially rotated in the same direction by an arm P on the shaft of the auxiliary motor K. During the rotation of the switch, a brush Q alternately engages the contact-surfaces 1, 2, connected respectively to the brushes R, S. When the motor M is started, the plate D is raised from the film A and the latter fed through a certain distance till the plate D is again lowered. At the same time the rotation of switch 0 brings the brush Q on the contact 2, breaking the circuit of the motor M and completing that of motor K, whereby the lamps in the box C are lighted. The rotation of the switch O is continued by the arm P until the brush Q leaves the contact 2, thus breaking the circuit of motor K and remaking that of motor M. The time of exposure can be regulated by adjusting the speed of the motor K.
