Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Rosin Size and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: ARLEDTER FRITZ
Filed: 1899-11-11
Granted: 1899-12-16
Abstract: 22,547. Arledter, F., and Huth, G. Nov. 11. Sizes.-Relates to the manufacture of resin size suitable for use in paper-making. The Figure illustrates the arrangement of the apparatus for making the size. The resin is melted in a boiler t heated by steam coils or a steam jacket, and is forced through a steam-jacketed filter f into a steamjacketed boiler b. This boiler has a false bottom c, from below which the contents may be pumped by centrifugal pumps p, p<1> back into the boiler or into the tank t<1>. The pump p<1> circulates the contents of the tank t<1>. Alkali and water are introduced into the boiler b, and, when the alkali has dissolved, the resin is run in and the mixture is boiled under pressure, while the pump p circulates the same. The mixture or size is then blown into the tank t<1>, and concentrated carbolic acid is added and thoroughly mixed with the size. The size is then ready for use without further dilution.

Patent GB-190022111-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Feeding Water to Steam Generators.
Inventor: NEEDHAM HENRY CLAY
Filed: 1900-12-05
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 22,111. Needham, H. C. Dec. 5. Feedwater, supplying and controlling.-Water is alternately admitted to the reservoir B from the tank C and discharged thence into the boiler A by the action of gravity when equilibrium of steam pressure is established by means of the float valve 5. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the valve 5. The level of water in the reservoir B being slightly above that in the boiler, and the steam connecting-pipe b<11> being open, water gradually passes hy gravity from the reservoir to the boiler through the check valve b<1> and adjustable cock 1. When the level falls sufficiently, the float falls and opens a small valve 5<1>, Fig. 2, seated in the main valve c<5> and movable therein between narrow limits between stops. Steam being thus admitted above the valve c<5>, the weight of the float lever &c. is sufficient to open it, and steam passes to the top of the tank C. The water then flows from the tank C through the check valve c<1> to the reservoir B, until the float rises and closes the valves c<5> and 5<1>. According to the Provisional Specification, the water in entering the reservoir B may fall or flow over baffle-trays so as to be heated by exposure to the steam.

Patent GB-190104131-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Casting Machine.
Inventor: VEEDER CURTIS HUSSEY
Filed: 1901-02-26
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 4131. Veeder, C. H. Feb. 26. Casting, machines for. Articles, of antimony and its alloys in particular, are cast automatically by forcing the metal into an exhausted mould, which is then chilled by a current of water circulated around it and opened to the atmosphere before it is separated fer the expulsion of the casting. In Figs. 5 and 18, the mould o, o' is shown separated. Its various parts are pressed together by springs against the nozzle 12 of the melting-pot M<1>, and it is exhausted ; the valve v in the nozzle is allowed to open by the removal of the lever 35<1>, and the metal rushes into the mould, and the plunger p, coming into operation, forces the valve against its seating 8, and increases the pressure in the mould. The valve now closes the nozzle, and the mould is withdrawn. The main portion o<1> of the mould is carried on a frame H, turning about pivots 51, 53 on levers 50, 54. As the cam 56 moves it to the right, it first acts on the guiderods 62 carrying the part o of the mould, and moves them to the right until they are arrested by the blocks 68, thereby drawing the part o of the mould away from the nozzle ; the part o', continuing its movement, separates from the part o, and finally the part o<11> is withdrawn from the part o by a cam 78 acting through the lever 74 on the rod 70, which carries the part o. A stripper 110 then descends, and detaches the article from the mould. The valve v is locked in its closed position at every casting, and is released by the frame H only when the parts of the mould come together properly. Two pumps P are opened to the mould in succession, to exhaust it thoroughly ; they commumcate through pipes with ball-and socket joints arranged as toggle-levers. Fig. 11 shows the valve 86 for opening one of the pumps to the mould containing a small valve 88, which is opened by a small lever 96 on the lever 91 of the valve 86 when the latter is closed and using it as a fulcrum. The small valve opens the mould to the atmosphere. The pump pistons and discharge valves are kept tight by an oil seal, the oil being passed through the piston and out of the box of the discharge valve 85. A valve 125, Fig. 5, allows the metal to circulate through the passages around the valve v on heating up at starting. The watercirculating passages are shown at 105 in Figs. 16 and 18.

Abstract: 6862. Thompson, W. P., [Fabrik f³r Spezialnõhmaschinen Akt.-Ges.]. March 20. Buttonholesewing machines; stopping - gear; stopping, automatic.-Consists of means for stopping a buttonhole or other machine without shock, with the needle in the highest position, a few fastening-stitches being made before the needle finally comes to rest. The driving-pulley 5, which is formed in one with a flywheel, drives the shaft by frictional contact with a fast disc 6, with which is connected a brake disc 13, formed with a projection or a high part 14. On the completion of the buttonhole, in the case of a buttonhote machine, a catch is released and the belt shifter 16 moved to the left, throwing the belt on to the loose pulley 8, and bringing the adjustable brake block 18 into engagement with the brake disc 13. The parts are so adjusted that the momentum of the flywheel &c. carries the projection 14 past the brake block once or twice, before the shaft finally stops with the projection 14 in contact with the brake block and the needle out of the work. One or two fastening- stitches are thus made.

The chain-wheel H is secured to a sleeve D mounted on ball bearings g<1> on the axle A and formed with a cone d to receive the balls d' of the hub bearing. A sleeve I, secured on the sleeve D by a nut i<4> and by lugs i<2> formed on the sleeve I engaging in slots i<3> formed in the sleeve D, is formed with external cams or screw-threads on which is mounted a sleeve L, shown separately in Fig. 5, tapered at one end M to engage a similar tapered surface m formed on the cup d<1>, and tapered at the other end N to engage a tapered brake sleeve K adapted to engage a brake ring J, which is caused to rotate with the hub C by a pin j<1> on the hub engaging in a slot j<2> in the ring J. The sleeve K is mounted free to slide axially, but not to rotate, on an extension k<2> of the cone E, which is formed with an arm e secured to the frame B. The clutch sleeve L is rendered positive in its action by friction-blocks P mounted in slots O, q<1> in the sleeve L and pressed outwards by springs Q, which are also mounted in the slots 0, g'. The blocks P are formed with arms q, which hold them in position in the slots O, and with cylindrical and tapered surfaces p, p<1> to engage with a cylindrical extension on the sleeve K and with the surface m respectively. The mechanism acts as follows. On forward driving, the sleeve L is forced against the incline m and drives the hub. On coasting, the sleeve L is retracted until the blocks P are disengaged from the incline m and are engaged and held stationary by the extension on the sleeve K. On backpedalling, the sleeve L is further retracted and forces the brake sleeve K against the ring J, so as to retard the cycle.
