Title: Improvements in Wheel Cutting Machines.
Inventor: DARLING JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-10-19
Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 18,685. Darling, J. W. Oct. 19. Milling.-A wheel-cutting machine is provided with a ram N, Fig. 1, to clamp the blank (not shown) against adjustable stops Y while a tooth is being cut. The ram carries a screwed rod passing through a nut driven frictionally in one direction to effect the clamping and positively in the other direction to release the blank. The nut is driven from a shaft H', Fig. 5, driven by a crown reversing-train H from a shaft B geared to the driving-shaft. The wheel D of the train is frictionally driven from the clutch member G by discs F<1>. The sliding member E of the clutch is controlled by a fork 0 operated by linkwork from a tappet R. Immediately before the termination of the downward or cutting stroke, a dog T on the cutter slide Z strikes the tappet, reversing the clutch E and raising the ram till a second dog S moves the tappet and clutch to the idle position. During the interval of rest of the ram and while it is clear of the blank, the blank is rotated by the ordinary spacing-mechanism. When the cutting- stoke commences, a swing catch U on the dog S engages a bowl V on the tappet, and moves the clutch into engagement with the wheel D to clamp the blank during the cutting operation. The swing catch only acts in a rigid manner during the down-stroke.

Title: An Improvement in Apparatus for Turning Malt and like Materials on a Kiln Floor.
Inventor: MUMFORD CHARLES EDWARD
Filed: 1901-06-13
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 12,086. Mumford, C. E. June 13. Moving-stirrer apparatus.-Relates to the apparatus described in Specification No. 947, A.D. 1896, for turning malt and like materials on a kiln floor. The apparatus consists of a pair of carriages caused to travel to and fro over the floor while a shaft journalled in them is caused to revolve, this shaft having arms carrying blades hinged to them so that as they revolve and travel they stir and turn the material on the floor. In the apparatus described in the prior Specification, the gearing is arranged so that when the arms revolve clockwise, the carriage travels to the right, and vice versa. The present invention has for its object to reverse this so that when the arms on the shaft C revolve clockwise, the carriage A' travels to the left, and vice versÔ. The Figure is a copy of Fig. 4 of the prior Specification showing the altered gearing. The shaft C, instead of being geared directly to the shaft carrying the pinion P<1>, is geared to it through an intermediate pinion X. By this means, the blades are prevented from pressing down the material and a more effective turning over of it is obtained.

Title: New Sulpho Acids and Sulphur Dyestuffs.
Inventor: SHILLITO THOMAS RICHARD
Filed: 1901-06-20
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 12,578. Shillito, T. R., [Aniline Colour and Extract Works, (formerly Geigy, J.R.)]. June 20. Dimethyl-p-amido-p-oxydialphylamine sulphonic acids are produced by acting upon dimethyl-pamidophenylquinoneimide, or homologous indophenols such as the dimethyl-p-amidophenyltoluquinone obtained from dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine and o-cresol, with a neutral sulphite, or with a bisulphite or sulphurous acid. The sulphonic acids produced when a neutral sulphite is employed are sparingly soluble in water, but those produced by means of a bisulphite, or sulphurous, acid are very soluble in cold water. The reaction takes place at the ordinary temperature, or, more rapidly, at 50‹-60‹ C., or at boiling point. Dyes, artificial.-New sulphur dyes, which dye unmordanted cotton fast blue shades, are produced by heating the foregoing sulphonic acids with alkali polysulphides at 120‹-200‹ C. The difficultlysoluble sulphonic acids are converted by this process at about 120‹-140‹ C. into pure blue dyes, and the soluble sulphonic acids and those derived from o-cresol are converted at a higher temperature into bluish-grey to dark blue dyes. The dye is separated from the melt by dissolving it in water, oxidizing by a current of air, and precipitating by addition of a solution of sodium hypochlorite ; or by dissolving the melt in water, precipitating the leuco compound by hydrochloric acid, and oxidizing it by air and caustic soda, or by sodium hypochlorite, peroxide of hydrogen, or other alkaline oxidizing-agent.

Title: Improvements in Arc Lighting Lamps.
Inventor: ANDERSSON LORENS SIGFRID
Filed: 1902-07-09
Granted: 1903-07-09
Abstract: 15,311. Andersson, L. S. July 9. Arc lamps.-A lamp is provided with three independently-adjustable electrodes, one having its point situated between the other two, so that two arcs are produced in series. Normally, no current flows through the body of the middle electrode. Two equal resistances are connected in series between the terminals of the lamp, and the junction of these resistances is connected by a balancing - conductor to the middle electrode ; when the arcs are unequal, a current flows in the balancing-conductor, and may be used to regulate the positions of the outer electrodes. This may be done by introducing polarized electromagnets into the balancing-conductor, arranged to feed either electrode in accordance with the direction of the balancing-current. In the lamp shown, regulation of the positions of the outer electrodes 4, 5 is effected by the variations in strength of the shunt currents passing through the two resistances, which form the windings of two electromagnets 19, 20. The outer electrodes move between rollers in stationary guides 9, 10, and one roller on each side is attached to a ratchet-wheel 11, to be driven by a pawl lever 15 ; each pawl lever carries an armature over one electromagnet 19, 20, and normally is held up by a spring 21 so that it makes contact with a stationary screw 25. The pawl lever 15, screw 25, and electromagnet 19 or 20 are connected in series between an outer electrode and the middle electrode 6. When the resistance of either arc increases, the corresponding electromagnet 19 or 20 becomes strong enough to vibrate the pawl lever, turn the ratchet-wheel, and feed the electrode. The middle electrode 6 is movable vertically by a clutch on the movable core of a series solenoid 27, to strike the arcs. In modifications, the middle electrode may be arranged to swing between the outer electrodes, and solenoids may be used instead of electromagnets.

Title: Improvements in Selective Transmitting Systems, for Electric Signalling and other Purposes.
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1903-03-27
Granted: 1904-03-03
Abstract: 7137. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. March 27. Signals, electric-lamp and bell.-Relates to electric selective transmitting systems for use on board ship and elsewhere for signalling and other purposes. The selection is effected by the use of a group of wires in pairs, four wires, for example, serving for twelve signals when polarized receiving- apparatus is used. The receiving-apparatus is so designed as not to respond to currents much weaker than the normal line currents, thus preventing, for example, the response of the apparatus connecting the lines a, band b, c when the circuit a, c is in use. An extra wire is added to the group for operating a reply or tell-tale signal. Fig. 3 shows a transmitting-instrument for use with a group of four wires, and Fig. 6 shows the transmitting and receiving apparatus in diagrammatic form. The supply circuit, which may be the lighting-circuit of the vessel, is connected to the insulated contact plates or segments 2. 3, and the four wires a, b, c, d are connected to 2<a>, 3<a>, 2<b>, 3<b>, &c. Spring contacts 5, 6, carried by the rotary hub 7, are adapted to bridge across the contactplates, which are notched in such a manner that in any given position of the handle 9 the contactsegments 2, 3 are only connected with one of the segments 2", 3<a>, &c. There are six possible combinations of the wires in pairs, and twelve positions of the handle, allowing for the transmission of currents in both directions through each pair. The circuit is not complete until the handle is depressed and the finger 10 enters a notch in the index plate. The depression of the handle lifts a rod 11 against the tension of a spring 12 and brings the metallic ring 13 into contact with springs 14, 14<a>. The receiving-instruments comprise six polarized relays r and twelve signal lamps 17, 17<a>, &c., which, as shown in Fig. 8, are placed behind glazed covers in the box which holds the relays. The glazed covers are painted with the signal code number &c. The relay tongues are polarized by coils 27 placed in series in the local circuit 18. When any relay is actuated, and current flows through one of the signal lamps, an electromagnet 19 is energized and a contact 20 closed, current then passing through the wire 21 and lamps 22, Figs. 3 and 6, indicating to the operator that the signal has been received. The bell 23 is rung at the same time.
