Title: Improvements in or relating to Refrigerating Apparatus.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1899-10-23
Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 21,160. Boult, A. J., [Krausse, C.]. Oct. 23. Refrigerators; refrigerating; cooling water.- A bottle of liquid carbonic acid is connected to pipes coiled or otherwise arranged in a refrigerator.

Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 7406. Trier, F. April 21. Dressing; drilling; turning.-In reciprocating machines for dressing with rolling cutters, one or more auxiliary cutters Y, Z<1>, Fig. 2, oppositely inclined to the main cutters X, Y, Z, are arranged on the slide. The finishing tool-holders, Fig. 4, may be mounted on trunnions and actuated by a stop rod 9 to reverse the skew at the end of the stroke. Elastic adjustable rails 10, Fig. 5, are provided for the cutters to bear against, when not cutting, so as to start them rolling. The arrises may be produced by rolling cutters, the holders being mounted on a double slide-rest 12, 14 to cut vertical or horizontal arrises. Fig. 6 shows this holder 15 with its shank held by collars and pins 16, 19 in any one of four positions for cutting on an adjustably-swivelling rest. The holder may also rock between stops to give the skew. Fig. 8 shows a holder with a circular segmental slide 20 for turning, and Fig. 10 a machine for turning grindstones. In this the slide 23 carrying the tools can be turned up on a hinge to the right and can be moved to or away from the work ; the hinge forms the worm shaft 29 by which a right and left hand spindle in the slide 29 is operated. for feeding the tool-holders 24, 25. A drill 35 for boring the central hole is mounted on the slide 23. The tool-holder may be constructed as in Fig. 11, so that the tools can be turned over to cut the sides or edges. The tools, Fig. 11, are oppositely inclined, and are drawn together by a right and left hand screw in the slide, which is adjustable on the central clamp 39, thus allowing the stone to be dressed on both sides at once. This screw spindle may be provided with a clamp on it, which can be released to stop the traverse of the tool-holders.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Fluid Pressure Engines, Pumps and Compressors
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1901-10-16
Granted: 1902-11-15
Abstract: 20,745. Wetter, J., [Pittler, J. W. von]. Oct. 16. Rotary engines, pumps, and blowers.-Relates to rotary engines of the kind described in Specification No. 17,484, A.D. 1900, driven by steam, air, water, or other fluid and appli- cable as pumps or blowers. The casing a has an axial shaft f carrying a grooved disc d in which are spring-pressed piston vanes z. The free ends of the vanes work against a fixed cam surface c and the admission of motive fluid by the inlet v produces a combined rotary and sliding movement in the vanes and rotates the shaft. A de- veloped cam curve is shown in Fig. 4. Fluid pressure is admitted behind the piston vanes through passages y, and the parts are adjusted by means of sleeves m' on the shaft. Piston vanes may be arranged on both sides of the disc, or the casing &c. may rotate round a fixed shaft.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Scaffolding.
Inventor: KRUSE MADS
Filed: 1902-01-18
Granted: 1902-10-02
Abstract: 1461. Kruse, M. Jan. 18. Scaffolding and staging.-Two movable platforms are fixed to brackets t, u adapted to turn on vertical bolts r, s between crossbars p, q, and can be raised and lowered on a hollow post a by levers 5, 6. The post, with the platforms, can be moved sideways, on a horizontal rope c stretched along the wall, by winding-drums f and ropes g, h. To allow for the adjustment of the platforms on the bolts r, s, they are formed with a number of holes y to receive bolts passing through the cross-bar p. The cross-bars p, q are fixed to a channel-iron bar o carrying rollers m, n which run on a guiderail h fixed to the post. Hooks 1, 2, carried by the lever pivot and bar o, engage with pins l projecting from the bar k, and are raised and lowered alternately when the platforms are raised and lowered. The levers are connected to the bolts r, s by links 8, 9, and the pivots of the hooks 1, 2 are connected by flanged semicircular plates 12, 13, hooked rods 14, 15 pivoted to the plates, and a vertical rod 16 which is pivoted to the rod 15 and is slotted to receive the end of the rod 14. A spring 18 on the rod 16 is attached to the rods 14, 15, and causes the hooks to engage automatically with the pins l when the levers are moved to raise or lower the platforms. In lowering the platforms, the rods 14, 15, 16 are swung over to the left to cause the spring to disengage the hooks from the pins, and in raising the platforms, the rods are moved to the right, as shown in the Figure. The core within the post a is formed of two wedge-shaped parts connected by iron bands, and carries a hook x which fits over the rope c. A bracket or strut adapted to bear against the wall is secured to the post by a bolt i.

Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Molding Plastic or Granular Materials or the like.
Inventor: WHITE BRUCE CLARK
Filed: 1902-03-18
Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 6606. White, B. C. March 18. Moulding fuel, ores, &c. -Pulverized or finelydivided material is fed to the mould box E by a hopper H, and is forced into lined moulds e by plungers F operated by a crank shaft D, connecting-rod G, and crosshead F<1>. The moulds are closed by plungers I attached to separate crossheads K<1> arranged to move backward in a casing C against springs L, which are mounted on rods K between collars k and transverse partition plates K<2>. The mould box E is reciprocated by a cam D' acting on a bell-crank lever J connected to the box by side links. After the blocks have been ejected from the moulds, they are detached from the plungers by a cam shaft 0, which is carried by the mould box and operated by a crank-pin moving in a cam-groove. The plungers I are fitted with screwed ends I' adjustable by means of washers i. The plungers F are clamped to the crosshead by a cap, and are adjustable longitudinally by packing-plates f<1>. Packing-plates M at the end of the casing C enter notches in the rods K, and regulate the position of the plungers I and the compression of the springs L. An arm 8 fixed to each crosshead K<1> moves over a scale S' and indicates the pressure of the springs. Stop pieces R, fixed to the sides of the frame, limit the forward movement of the feed-box. The crank shaft D is lubricated by a liquid lubricant contained in a receptacle B<3> in an inclined casing B, and the upper surface of the connecting-rod G is grooved to carry the lubricant to the crosshead pin G'. The mould box and plungers F are lubricated by a perforated swivelling pipe B<5> provided with an end receptacle for oil. A partition B<4> retains the oil in the casing, and perforations b are made in the casing in front of the partition to facilitate the removal of dust or dirt escaping past the mould box. The mould box is formed with guides for the plungers F and plane surfaces which bear against the lower edges of the hopper. The casing C is mounted on trunnions within the frame, and is fastened at the required inclination by bolts. In a modification, the ejected blocks are detached from the plungers by a perforated sliding plate operated by a cam and lever. The moulded blocks or briquettes are removed by an endless travelling band T or the like.
