Title: Improvements in Hat-block Chucks.
Inventor: LARKIN GEORGE FREDERICK
Filed: 1899-05-02
Granted: 1899-06-17
Abstract: 9226. Larkin, G. F May 2. Felt hats.-Relates to a hat block chuck for a hatter's lathe. The chuck is constructed so that the hat block can be readily attached to it or removed from it while the lathe spindle is revolving. The lathe spindle a' terminates in a screwed part a<2> on to which the hub c of the chuck is fastened. From the hub c projects a number (preferably three) of arms c<1> to the ends of which a chuck head d is attached, and this head may have a central pin d<2> which engages in a central recess in the hat block. Pivoted to sockets c' in the hub c are a number (preferably three) of chuck jaws e which project through holes d' in the head d. These holes d<3> are large enough to allow of an inward or outward radial motion of the jaws e, but a pin e<5> which passes through a hole in each jaw e prevents much lateral movement of the latter. Encircling the jaws c is a ring g in which is a central recess g<1> in which fits a bearing-block h on the upper surface of which is formed a rack h' which gears with a pinion i<2> operated by a lever i. The free ends e<3> of the jaws e lie in an annular recess in the hat block, and by forcing the ring g towards the right hand the jaws e are forced together and their free ends e<3> embrace and hold a central boss in the hat block. When the ring g is moved in the opposite direction, the springs f force the jaws e outwards, and thus release them from engagement with the hat block.

Title: Improvements in Door Locks.
Inventor: SCHMERTZ EDWARD AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1900-03-05
Granted: 1900-05-05
Abstract: 4167. Schmertz, E. A. Aug 10, A.D. 1899, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Locks, key; keys.-Relates to door and other locks in which the bolt 33 is withdrawn from the inside by turning a knob 40 and from the outside by a key 43 prepared according to the arrangement of slots in discs in a tube 11<a>. This tube is formed with a front flange 20, a hollow longitudinal rib 21, a rear flange 22 cut away between the points 23, 24, leaving a recess 25 extending into the body portion, and an internal longitudinal groove 26. Metal discs, such as shown in Fig. 9, with a radial slot 11 and a semicircular portion 12 joining the radial portion at different distances from the centre in the various discs, fit with a notch 13 on a bar 38 pressed out in the space 21 by springs, and an ear 14 in the groove 26. These discs are thus fixed and interchangeable, and their relative position determines the position of the necks 44 on the key. The radial slots 11 are aligned with each other and with radial slots 14<a> in movable discs 8, which alternate with the fixed discs, commencing with two of them together at the rear end of the tube. After these discs are sticked a disc 9 is added, having a notch 16 for the bar 38, a quartercircle slot 17, and a radial arm 18 to project through the recess 25, and finallyadisc 10, fixed to the knob 40 and with a radial arm 19 to project through the recess 25, is added and rests against the end of the bar 38, and then the flange 22 is screwed to the casing 27. When the knob 40 is turned, the arm 19 engages a frame 31 attached to the .bolt 33 and sliding in guides 30 fixed to the casing 27. The bolt is normally held shot by springs 34. When the key 43 is inserted through the slots 11, 14", a projection 45 passes into the slot 17 of the disc 9, and as the key is rotated eccentric portions 37 on the discs 8 press back the bar 38 and release the notch 16, after which the disc 9 is turned and its arm 18 engages the frame 31.

Title: Improvements in Instruments for Surveying and Plotting without Calculation.
Inventor: BAUMER MORIZ
Filed: 1900-04-11
Granted: 1901-03-30
Abstract: 6819. Baumer, M. April 11. Surveying-instruments; theodolites; telemeters.- Relates to an instrument for use as a tachymeter for measuring distances and for measuring horizontal and vertical angles or the co-ordinates of distant points and plotting them on paper. An arm C, Fig. 2, having a set-screw D, is used to adjust roughly a disc E having a vernier P moving over a scale on a disc 0 secured to a column A. The fine adjustment is effected by a tangent screw engaging with a pin G projecting from a bracket F on the disc E. The bearings J of the horizontal axis S, and a bracket Q are secured to the disc E. A worm R, carried by the bracket Q, operates a sector T on the shaft S and provided with a scale and vernier. The distance meter is attached to a foot, clamped in V-shaped grooves in a plate carried by arms b on the shaft S, and comprises two telescopes, Fig. 7, at a fixed distance apart. The horizontal vernier is adjusted to zero, and the fixed telescope fixed on the distant point; the other telescope is next turned on to the point, the distance of which is then determined from the vernier reading. By adjusting a vertical scale x, sliding on a horizontal scale y fixed to the plate E, to this distance on a scale v on the shaft S, the height of the point is read on the scale x, and its horizontal distance on the scale y. The slide at the bottom of the scale x carries a pencil point by which each point surveyed is plotted on a drawing- board B. A pair of horizontal scales may be provided to determine the position of a point by horizontal co-ordinates.

Filed: 1900-09-04
Granted: 1900-11-10
Abstract: 15,721. Cedergren, H. T., and Piltz, G. M. T. Sept. 4. Telephone systems.-In multiple-board systems, each section is provided with special plugs 1 connected to extra jacks 2 at the other sections for passing on calls to unoccupied operators. The raising of the plug 1 closes a signal circuit through 14, 16 to the relay 21 at the unoccupied section B. The local circuit of the relay 21 includes a lamp signal 26 arranged near the jack 2. A branch circuit from the jack also includes a resetting annunciator 28. The insertion of the plug into the jack 2 operates at the board A the relay 19, and this relay is maintained excited by the battery 15 until the plug 1 is placed in its rest, although the plug is withdrawn from the jack 2. The withdrawal of the plug from the jack 2 closes the relay circuit 39, and causes a lamp 44 to glow, so giving the clearing-out signal to the operator at A. The lamp 13 in the local circuit of the relay 8 is an indicator for showing whether the operator at B is disengaged. Similar circuits exist for each board.

Abstract: 7226. Green, F. D. March 25. AÙrated beverages, drawing-off. - A dispensing- tap, specially adapted for soda-water fountains, is shown in Fig. 1. The valve-casing 1 has a dia- phragm with an upper seat 4, which is normally closed by a spring-pressed valve 7. The lower valve 6 has a corresponding seat 5, and is rigidly connected to the upper valve and to a sleeve 15, which slides on the casing and has a cap 18 at its upper end carrying a handle 19. The handle has duplicate cams 20, either of which can be pressed on to a plug 21 so that the sleeve and valves are raised. A small movement of the handle opens the upper valve, and the liquid discharges through apertures 22. A further movement closes the lower valve, so that the main discharge is closed and a jet discharge takes place through passages 24, 23 in the valve-spindle. The handle may have cams of different sizes to produce these two movements. In a modification, the handle 30 has a yoke 43 which is mounted on a pin 31. The arms of the yoke engage with studs on the sleeve 15<a>, which operates the valves as before. An adjusting-screw 34 is provided.
