Granted: 1901-04-06
Abstract: 4367. Whitehead, T. L. March 1. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces; feeding-apparatus for webs; delivery apparatus.- Relates to flat-bed web-printing machines, and consists of means whereby an inset web may be associated in proper register with the main web as described in Specification No. 1924, A.D. 1900. The inset web, when being printed, is evenly wound into the roll j, by resting the roll j against a friction roller n driven at adjustable speed by a band q. The bearings of the roll j are on inclines m, and are pressed downwardly by a cord and weight. When the inset web from the roll j is to be associated with the main web g at h, the roll j is placed, as shown, out of contact with the roller n, and the inset web k passed between the drawing- roller s and tapes 3, from which it passes to the point h, and thence the two webs pass together to the folding &c. apparatus i. In order to register the webs while the machine remains running, the drawing-roller s is driven from the main shaft a by a band t and an expansible pulley u of known construction The diameter of this pulley is regulated as required by turning a screw shaft which moves a lever connected with the pulley. The roller n is driven by the band q from the shaft of the drawing-roller s, or it may be driven by a band from an expansible pulley on the shaft a. The course of the main web through the machine from the reel f is shown by the line g. The main shaft a is driven by a band 7 from a shaft 9. The impression cylinders d reciprocate over the beds e, and the carriage c is reciprocated by the rod b<1> and wheel b driven from the shaft a.

Title: Improvements in Pavements.
Inventor: TIMOFEEFF PAUL
Filed: 1901-05-22
Granted: 1902-03-20
Abstract: 10,622. Timofeeff, P. May 22. Paving.-A noiseless pavement is made of frames or boxes filled with very fine angular elutriated and sifted quartz sand, obtained from natural sources or by comminuting hard ore matrix, and moistened with water or other liquid to cause it to cohere. The boxes are arranged in a similar manner to the blocks forming wood pavements, the sand is wetted and stamped, and the surface is smoothed with a trowel or roller. Iron, chrome-iron, or manganese ores, or cast-iron or wrought-iron shavings or filings ground and treated to prevent rusting, or shot, or mixtures of these may be used with or without sand, and other substances such as coke, asbestos, and water, for binding. In this case an upper layer of fine sand is used. Ground peat, potato flour, or other hygroscopic or deliquescent substance may be mixed with the sand, and a fine network of metal or fibrous material may be embedded in it. The framework of the pavement may be of hewn or rough stone with a bottom of brick which will absorb the excess of water. The pavement may be wetted from pipes beneath it, and the boxes are arranged so that the excess of water may escape by drains or be absorbed by the ground. Strips of triangular cross-section may be arranged longitudinally, transversely, or diagonally along the bottoms of the boxes to increase the stability of the pavement. A layer of paving of this kind may be applied to an existing pavement to render it noiseless. The pavement is repaired by removing inequalities, smoothing the place over with a trowel, and watering, a small quantity of sand being added, if necessary. The sand &c. may be made into small plates, before being placed in the boxes or frames, by impregnation with adhesive material such as caoutchouc, cement, tar, or other substance insoluble in water.

Patent GB-190119485-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Corrugated Furnaces.
Inventor: RAINFORTH WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-09-30
Granted: 1902-12-30
Abstract: 19,485. Rainforth, W. Sept. 30. Bending ; corrugating.-Corrugated furnaces with sharp or pronounced corrugations are made by first approximately corrugating the tubes by ordinary rolling processes and then finishing them to shape by applying end pressure while supported internally by a mandrel and externally by a cylindrical casing. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the partiallycorrugated tube A is supported internally by segmental rings 33, 35 on a mandrel 21 carried by a sliding carriage 25 operated by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 28. The tube is surrounded by segmental rings 36 held in a vertically-divided cylindrical casing 1, the halves of which are closed or opened by rams and provided with locking- devices to hold them closed when the rings and tube have been placed in position. End pressure is then applied to the rings and tube by a ram 43 with a flanged head 42 carrying a block 37 which supports one plain end of the tube and is recessed to receive a shoe on the mandrel. The pressure of the ram is transmitted to the rings 36 through a sleeve 44 on one plain end of the tube, the other plain end being supported by rings 33, 34, which transmit the thrust to a fixed bracket 22. The end pressure is continued until the rings 36 abut against one another, the recesses left between their inner corners determining the finished shape of the corrugations. The casing is then opened, the rams drawn back, and the upper parts of the rings removed to allow the furnace to be withdrawn. In a slightly-modified apparatus the casing is arranged vertically, and a vertical ram for operating the mandrel also supplies the necessary end pressure. If the internal rings are provided with ribs to enter the corrugations, a collapsable mandrel may be used. One form of mandrel may consist of a cylindrical body with a central core, adjusted longitudinally in the body by a screw and hand-wheel to operate toggle-levers which expand or contract segmental shoes on which the rings have a sliding dovetailed connection. In the form of mandrel shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the core is practically rectangular in section, and consists of a number of tapering portions 21", 21<b>, 21<c> &c. on which the segmental rings 63 are dovetailed so that they are expanded as the mandrel 21 is moved longitudinally. In another form, the segmental rings slide on blocks which slide on the core. Fig. 14 shows the application of the invention to flues such as are described in Specification No. 21,085, A.D. 1901, the partially-corrugated tube being acted on by rings 36, 36<a>, 36b, made in segments and contained in a casing 1, the tube being supported on rings 35 on a collapsable mandrel while shut up to the form shown.
