Patent GB-189820712-A (GB)
Title: Street Cleansing Machines.
Inventor: WADSWORTH ROBERT
Filed: 1898-10-01
Granted: 1899-11-01
Abstract: 20,712. Wadsworth, R. Oct. 1. Sweeping-machines. - The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is for horse traction, but in slightly modified forms it may be driven by hand, or drawn by an electric, steam, oil, or other motor. The wheels C are geared, through the clutch mechanism described in Specification No. 16,508, A.D. 1888, toothed wheels D, F, and a chain-wheel and chain I, K, with the rear brush M, to which the brush N, set at 45‹ in front of the near side wheel, directs the side sweepings. This brush is driven by the toothed and chain gear D, E, J, L and a universal joint not shown. The brush M is mounted on counterweighted straps 0, and can be raised when necessary by a treadle Q, while the brush N is mounted on straps S and can be raised by the lever W through the link X, bell crank V, and chain Y. The sweepings are received into a bin A<2>, the bottom of which, near the brush M, is hinged, so that, by pulling a chain, the sweepings can be jerked forwards into the front of the bin. The bin is supported in front by eccentric cams B' on a shaft C<2>, and at the back by chains passing to drums on the same shaft. A worm and wormwheel, actuated by the handle E<2>, can rotate the shaft C<2> so as to lift the bin A'. A number of brushes fastened to an endless web may be substituted for the brush M, to raise the sweepings to a receptacle on the vehicle. In the case of a tramcar, the sweepings are raised from the brush M by the scoops of an elevator, also driven by chain gear from the rear wheels, and the front brush projects so as to reach from the rails to the kerb. In this case the brush is supported by chains, so that its angle can be varied to suit the width of the part it has to sweep, and so that it can be brought parallel to the rails to allow vehicles to pass. The front brush may be mounted on either side, or two brushes may be used.

Title: Manufacture of Amidoacylamidocarboxylic Acid Esters.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1898-10-20
Granted: 1899-08-19
Abstract: 22,106. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Oct. 20. Anµsthetics. - Alkylamidoacylamido aromatic carboxylic esters, which are basic bodies possessed of anµsthetic p operties, are produced by first reacting with halogen-substituted acid chlorides upon aromatic amidocarboxylic acid esters, and then acting upon the halogen acylamidocarboxylic esters thus formed with primary or secondary amines such as mono- and di-ethyl- and mono- and di-methyl-amine. The process may be varied by starting with the free aromatic amidocarboxylic acids and finally esterifying the halogen acylamidocarboxylic acids produced therefrom. Examples are given in which the hydrochloride of methylglycocoll-anthranilic methyl ester, which yields a nitroso compound with nitrous acid, hydrochloride of diethylglycocoll-p-amidosalicylic methyl ester and hydrochloride of diethylglycocoll-salicylic methyl ester are prepared. By the same processes mono- and di-ethyl and mono- and di-methylglycocoll derivatives of o-, m-, and p-amidobenzoic methyl and ethyl esters, of o- and p-amidosalicylic esters, of p-amido-m-oxybenzoic esters of m-amidop-oxybenzoic esters, and of m- and p-amidocinnamic esters, and the hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, and hydroiodides of these compounds are prepared.

Title: Water-power-engine for Producing an Oscillating Motion.
Inventor: MONGEN THEODOR
Filed: 1900-08-22
Granted: 1900-10-27
Abstract: 15,003. Mongren, T. Aug. 22. Water-pressure engines working valves. - An oscillating motion is given to a washing-drum or other appliance through a pinion 6 by a rack 5 attached to the piston-rod of a double-acting cylinder 1. The water supply and exhaust pipes 17, 20 are connected alternately to the two ends of the cylinder by a four-way valve 16, which is reversed suddenly at the end of the stroke. In Fig. 1, a tappet 21 on the pinion shaft lifts a weighted lever 7 so that it falls over and, according to its direction, lifts or depresses the sliding rod 9 connected to an arm 14 attached to the valve plug. In Fig. 3, tappets 30 or 31 strike a lever 29, which is connected by a link 9 to the valve arm 14, and an arm 32 fixed to the lever 29 forms one member of a toggle 32, 34, which is thrown to one side or the other by a spring 39 as soon as it passes the centre line. A conical plug valve is used, and the larger end of the casing is connected to the waste pipe 20 by a passage 42, through which any leakage of water under pressure may escape.

Abstract: 15,399. Hodder, A. E., Lester, J. B. G., and Lester, G. M. L. Aug. 29, Loom beat-up motions ; driving - mechanism; duplex; pile, forming and cutting; shedding-motions; h e a l d s etc.; picking- motions; take-up motions. -Relates to a loom for weaving pile fabrics, particularly coir-yarn mats. Two fabrics are woven simultaneously, and connected together by the pile threads X, which are subsequently cut by fixed and reciprocating knives M, M<1>, before the fabrics are wound on to rollers operated by ratchet take-up mechanism. The warp threads are drawn from bobbins, and passed through apertures in the heald bars D arranged side by side and operated by cams C &c. Each heald consists of a vertical bar D provided with two apertures arranged one above the other and also with a projecting nose D' between the apertures. The warp threads forming the upper shed E are passed through the upper apertures of the healds, and those forming the lower shed E<1> through the lower apertures, so that, when alternate healds are raised and lowered respectively, two sheds are formed, through which shuttles are passed simultaneously by suitable picking-mechanism. The pile threads X are now passed between the lower warp threads of the upper shed and the upper warp threads of the lower shed by a reciprocating carrier F<2>, consisting of a spring holder, which is reciprocated by the system of levers shown and cam mechanism. When the end of the holder F<2> has advanced through the double shed, the ends of the pile threads projecting from it are gripped by a pair of spring nippers H, and held during the withdrawal of the holder F<2>, after which the healds are returned consecutively to a level position as shown on the left-hand side of Fig. 7. The weft and pile threads are now beaten up, after which the new sheds are formed by raising the healds which were formerly depressed and vice versÔ, when the operations above described are again performed. The beat-up mechanism comprises a series of plates K mounted on a reciprocating carriage K<2> and passing between the healds, the carriage and frame being each provided with a knife by which at each movement of the carriage the pile threads are severed so as to leave a short length projecting from the holder ready for the next operation. Means are provided during the beating-up operation for blocking in the open position the nipper jaws H ready to receive the next length of pile threads. The picking-arm L is mounted on a vertical and sliding rod L<1> carrying a tappet, which at the proper time is brought into engagement with a rotating tappet by the raising of the rod L'. The cams C are driven through clutch mechanism which is disengaged during the beating-up operation.
