Abstract: 17,255. Mallett, C. C., and Mallett, M. H. Aug. 10. Windows.-A reversible sash b is mounted on horizontal pivots d carried by side arms or links e which are arranged to turn on fixed pivots f. Each link is made with a cranked extension e', which may be arranged to bear against the inside or outside of the window frame so as to limit the turning movement on the pivots f. The pivots d are nearer to the top rail than the bottom rail of the sash, so that the weight of the sash tends to turn it into the position shown in full lines in Fig. 3. The pivot plates c fixed to the sash stiles are formed with lateral projections c<1> which bear against the links e and limit the turning of the sash on the pivots d. The sash can thus turn about two parallel horizontal axes. The lower halves of the sash stiles are recessed in front, and the upper halves are recessed outside, while the frame is correspondingly rabbeted to make a weather-tight joint.

Moulding pottery. -The sides o of the mould are arranged to slide in horizontal guides in a table p mounted on hydraulic plungers, and are moved in and out simultaneously by hydraulic plungers z acting through toggle-links tt. The disc k is bolted to a hydraulic pressure-p u u n g e r which is connected by rods i and a crosshead h to a small secondary plunger g, which maintains the pressing-die in a raised position when it is out of action. Fig. 5 shows a slide valve 4, which is moved by hand to the positions 10, 11, 12 for the purpose of admitting water under pressure through the ports 5, 6, 7 to the cylinders supporting the table, cylinders w, and the pressing-cylinder d respectively in succession. When the valve is moved back to the position shown in Fig. 5, water is admitted through the port 8 to the auxiliary cylinder f, and the other cylinders are put in communication with the outlet or exhaust port 9. The pressing-die k, fixed die or mould bottom n, and the sides of the mould are made hollow, and may be cooled or heated by the circulation of water or fluid. In a modification, water is admitted to the cylinders by a series of lift valves, which are closed by weighted levers, and opened in succession by cams on a shaft turned by hand. In a modified form of press, the mould is made in one piece, and is carried by upper and lower sets of differential plungers. In this arrangement, the smaller plungers above the mould, and the lifting plunger above the pressing - ram are under constant pressure, and the valve box has two supply ports leading to the lower differential plungers of the mould, and to the pressing-plunger. Another valve arrangement is also described, consisting of two double lift valves controlled by handlevers. One valve is raised by water pressure to admit water to the lower differential cylinders, and is closed by the hand-lever. The other valve is closed by a weighted lever, which is raised by hand to admit water to the pressing-ram.

Title: Improvements in Electro-magnetic Mechanisms for Producing Reciprocating Motion.
Inventor: JONES WALTER FREDERICK
Filed: 1900-04-06
Granted: 1900-06-16
Abstract: 6478. Jones, W. F. April 6. Switches.-In an electromagnetic motor, two solenoids A and A' are alternately energized and de-energized by the action of suitable switch mechanism, and are thereby caused to attract an iron core B first in one direction and then in the other. The switch mechanism consists, firstiy, of a rotary commutator J with brushes K, and secondly, of two pivoted arms M, M<1>, capable of being held against fixed carbon contacts L and L<1>, the several parts being connected to the solenoids A and A' and battery Q as shown in Fig. 5. The commutator J is rotated by clockwork, which is wound up by the reciprocating core through the medium of a cross-bar E, connecting-rods E<1>, levers F, and ratchet mechanism G, H. Before contact is broken at the commutator each time the contacts L M or L' M' are separated by the action of a rod R, carried by the cross-bar E, so that any sparking takes place between these contacts instead of at the commutator. The rod R carries a pair of adjustable studs N, each of which at the proper moment releases the corresponding arm M or M<1>, which is thrown off by a spring. In stead of a commutator J driven by clockwork, an arrangement may be employed consisting of a bifurcated switch arm, actuated by an elongated vessel containing liquid, which is tilted by a lever in connection with the reciprocating core. Each end of the switch arm passes alternately over and under an insulated piece overlapping the fixed contact.

Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 10,157. Earthy, W. A. May 16. Pianofortes. - The setoff is effected by causing the end of the jack to slide off the end of the key instead of the hammer butt. The jack b is in two parts, one of which is rigidly fixed to the hammer butt, while the lower part is hinged to the former and passes through a hole in a lever, which also actuates the damper d. The lever is tilted by buttons d<5>, d<6>, when the key is depressed, and moves the hinged part of the jack so that its end is pushed off the pad c<1> on the key on which it normally rests. The set-off may also be effected by an adjustable stop, or else by bending the wire which forms the lower part of the jack, and causing it to pass through a fixed rail, so that, when the bent part encounters the rail, the requisite movement is given to the jack. The parts are returned to their normal positions, preferably by weighting them, but the return movement may also be effected by springs. The damper levers d' are tilted as before mentioned by the levers. In the case shown, the dampers are below the hammer heads, but an arrangement is also shown in which they are above the hammer heads.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Lappet Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1902-07-08
Granted: 1903-07-08
Abstract: 15,169. Hollingworth, E., [Wyman, H., and Jarry, H. J.]. July 8. Lappet looms.-Relates to stop-motions, which operate either mechanically or electrically on the breakage of one of the lappet threads. Each thread 6 passes over the guide-rods shown, and supports a looped drop wire 27, which is guided vertically and supported in its lowest position by a bar or rod 32. When the thread breaks, the wire falls between a pair of bars 28, 29, beneath which is an oscillating rod 34 operated from the lower shaft of the loom through the connecting- rod 36. The wire is thus caught between the rod 34 and one of the bars 28, 23, which causes the bracket 30 carrying them and its supporting shaft 31 to be oscillated. The oscillation of the shaft 31 operates a spring lever 44, Fig. 1, which is connected by a rod 46 with a pivoted latch 47 carried by a pivoted bracket 48 and normally out of the path of a " bunter " 51 on the lay. When, however, the latch 47 is raised by the rocking of the shaft 31, the lay forces back the latch 47 and its bracket 48, and disengages, by means of the rod 53, the catch 54 which holds the stop rod 8. Between the lappet needles and the drop wires is arranged a tension device, consisting of a pair of bars 20, 20<1> carried by a spring rod 22. If the stop-motion is to be operated electrically, the drop wire is caused to complete the circuit of an electromagnet of which the armature is in the form of a latch which normally supports a pivoted " dagger " lever out of the path of a " bunter " on the lay. When the circuit is completed, the dagger lever falls, so that the lay operates the pivoted " dagger " carrier," which engages with the knock-off lever and stops the loom in the ordinary way. Any ordinary warp stop mechanism may also be used to stop the loom in case of the breakage of a warp thread. A transverse bar extending across the loom may be employed to prevent the drop wires from jumping off the threads.
