Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Generating Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: FERRACCIU FILIBERTO
Filed: 1897-03-25
Granted: 1897-05-01
Abstract: 7782. Lake, H. H., [Ferracci·, F.]. March 25. Acetylene. - The holder X supported upon legs U is formed with a central opening in the bottom against which fits the flanged top r of the generator B when it is pressed up by the screw v. The carbide is placed in removable receptacles a, b, c, d, which are formed with a central passage. From the bottom of the bell F, which is formed with a depressed part C to diminish air space, is suspended a fine adjustable nozzle i, which is connected by a flexible pipe with a pipe leading to an exterior cistern I. The bell is provided with outlet cocks at the top, not shown in this Figure, and with guide-rods G which pass through brackets P, P' and are fitted with nuts f to limit the upward motion. In operation, the water from the cistern I drops from the nozzle i upon a funnel p which delivers it to the bottom of the generator. The gas produced raises the bell F, which carries with it the nozzle i, and when this has been raised above the level of the water in the cistern I the supply of water to the carbide is cut off. When the bell descends, in consequence of consumption of gas, the supply of water and generation of gas recommence. In a modification, the bottom of the holder is provided with a cock r<0>, Fig. 8, in order that the generator may be removed and recharged without entirely suspending the supply of gas from the holder.

Granted: 1898-04-16
Abstract: 10,081. Symon, R. R., and House, H. A. April 22. Casings; cylinders, draining ; valve - chests and valve gear. - (1) Relates to engines of which certain parts are enclosed, and the object is to prevent the oil from being splashed on the hot cylinder cover, or water from the cylinder from entering the casing. To these ends, the crank or oil case is made quite independent of the working cylinder, and the piston-rods pass into it through additional cylinders. The portion of the pistonrods between the cylinders and casing have separate casings. (2) The valve-chests also, in order to drain the cylinders, are placed at a lower level than the latter. As a consequence of this the valves are arranged to be worked by means of laterally-projecting arms from intermediate guided valve rods in the plane of the cylinder centres.

Granted: 1899-09-02
Abstract: 21,239. Barbier-Durozier, J'. A. L. Oct. 8. Wrapping-up newspapers &c.-A machine for wrapping up newspapers, books, circulars, &c. comprises a table a carrying a pile of wrappers x, the uppermost of which is raised by adhering to the mouths of two paste boxes C, and deposited on a table F which moves into position up an inclined plane k. The article to be enclosed is fed from a table F<1> on to a pivoted platen e<2>, which delivers it on to the wrapper. Lateral rollers I, I' move inwards one after the other beneath the paste boxes, fold over the edges of the wrapper, and in doing so release spring blades t, t<1> which press on the elges of the packet until the rollers return. After the table F has returned to the position shown in Fig. 2, an arm f<4> pushes the packet between two tapes u, which deliver it to a box M. The box is turned through half a revolution when a definite number of packets have been delivered by a spring R, which is released by a cam. The paste boxes are raised by cams E, E' and levers D, and the paste is forced out by pistons c operated by worm gearing. The table a is gradually raised as each wrapper is removed, and it has brushes e, e<1> for preventing two wrappers from sticking together.

Granted: 1899-02-11
Abstract: 24,371. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Steinmetz, C. P.]. Nov. 18. Motors, controlling.-Relates to a method of regulating the magnitude or phase of the currents in a multiphase system, by inserting or withdrawing resistances or other devices, in the various branches or circuits, successively rather than simultaneously. The invention is specially applicable to the regulation of induction motors. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3, the coils D', D<3>, and D' of a three-phase secondary winding are connected at one end to a common point D<5>, and at the other to a common point D<6> through resistances R', R<3>, and R'. A short-circuiting bar E<1> slides over contacts F<1>, F', F<3>, F<4>, F<5>, F<6> in connection with the resistances. These contacts are arranged in a stepped fashion as shown, so that the resistances are cut out successively and not simultaneously. Each of the resistances may also be divided so that it is cut out in a number of steps. Reactance coils or condensers may in some cases be used instead of resistances.

Abstract: 24,672. Welch, C. Nov. 22. Bookbinding. - Consists of detailed improvements, more particularly in book stitching-machines of the kind described in Specification No. 11,673, A.D. 1895. To avoid twisting the thread, two independent central needles are used instead of one, each co-operating with one of the outside needles. The take-off device consists of a fixed bar h, and a bar h' carried by bell-crank cam levers. The take-up for each pair of threads is effected by a single lever m, directly actuated by its cam, and having a forked end m<4> so as to carry two thread sheaves. The needle threads pass through tension devices c, of which one only is shown, arranged in two pairs corresponding to the two pairs of needles and independently actuated by cam arms d'. The threads are thus released, while the loopers are operating, but gripped while the take-up and takeoff are effected. The table a is securely held during the operation of the needles by cam levers b engaging with pins a'.

Granted: 1900-04-12
Abstract: 3204. Dunn, H. J. Feb. 13. Food preparataons; preserving food. - Relates to the treatment of animal food such as meat, poultry, or fish so as to obtain it in the form of a dry powder, ready for being cooked when required or for being converted into an extract. After removing most of the fat, the food is minced, and dried in a current of dry air at a temperature of under 60‹ F., but raised towards the end of the process to 100‹ F. When the product contains only 5 per cent. of water, it is removed and is, after first powdering if required, pressed into blocks and packed in an impervious material. An extract is prepared by agitating the powder with five times its weight of cold water and removing the liquid by draining &c. The liquid is then concentrated by means of cold dry air, or by evaporating at a low temperature. When the albuminous constituents of the food are not required in a soluble form, the extracting-water may be heated.
