Title: Improvements relating to Air Brushes.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1899-05-16
Granted: 1899-09-16
Abstract: 10,351. Marks, G. C., [Thayer, H. J., and Chandler, C. H.]. May 16. [Right to Patent relinquished.] Painting.-An air brush of the kind described in Specification No. 6466, A.D. 1897, for distributing liquid pigment, consists of a cylinder a, having secured to it a pigment reservoir. formed in sections b, and communicating through a piece c, screwed to the piece a and having a conical end d, with a nozzle f, the position of which is adjusted by screwing it into the piece a. A chamber g communicating with the nozzle f is connected by an air passage to the valve regulating the air supply. This valve is operated as described in the prior Specification, except that the actuating-pin h of the valve is pivoted to the forked end of a finger-piece i which extends through a slot in the piece a. This arrangement allows the parts of the valve to be detached without removing the pin h. The pigment supply is controlled by a rod e, having a conical end to engage the end d, and mounted free to slide in a tube m. screwed to the piece a and extending through the reservoir b. The rear end of the tube m is enlarged to receive any liquid which flows down the rod e. The rod e is secured at its rear end, by a nut w and a split conical sleeve v, to a sleeve s, screwed to a sleeve n, which slides on the tube m, and is pressed forwards by a spring o until a nut r screwed on it engages a flange on the piece a. A feather q, sliding in a keyway in the piece a, prevents the sleeve n from rotating, and enables the initial position of the rod e to be adjusted by rotating the sleeve m by inserting the fingers through a slot t in the piece a. On pressing back the finger-piece i, it engages the sleeve n and draws back the needle. The cylinder a is supported at its rear end by a hollow handle x screwed in the cylinder a as shown.

Granted: 1900-05-26
Abstract: 14,944. Wale, A. E. July 20. Spring fabrics.-Wire fabrics of fineness and smoothness of surface are produced for cycle saddles, seats, and other articles. A primary fabric A, Figs. 1 and 2, is first produced as described in Specification No. 13,613, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Velocipedes], wherein two sets of helices a', a<2> are interlocked with one another at right-angles and in the same horizontal plane. With two of the longitudinal helices a<1> a helix b<1> is then engaged as shown in Fig. 1. A similar helix b<2> is then engaged with one of the two helices a', with the next longitudinal helix a<1> and with the helix b<1>, and so on, until the whole of the primary or foundation fabric A has been thus converted into a finer surface fabric B. A similar fabric D, Fig. 2, may be obtained by interlacing a double-woven fabric with the primary fabric. A helix d<1> is first intertwined with the helix a<1>, then a helix d' with the helix d<1>, and afterwards a helix d<3> is intertwined with the next helix a<1> and then with the helices d<1>, d<2>, and next a helix d<4> is intertwined with the same helix a<1> as d<3>, and also with the helices d', d<3>, and so on. To strengthen the fabric for cycle saddles, another fabric is woven on the underside of the foundation fabric, the helices of the additional fabric preferably engaging, in the case of the fabric shown in Fig. 1, with either one or two of the primary helices a<1> and with the helices b<1>, b<2> of the fabric B, or with these only ; or the helices of the strengthening-fabric may be of the opposite hand to the helices a', and engage only with each alternate transverse helix a<2>, or in some cases with each helix a'. In the case of the fabric shown in Fig. 2, another fabric is interlocked on the underside, preferably of a stronger gauge of wire, or compound helices may be used as described in Specification No. 13,613, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Velocipedes].

Title: Improvements in or relating to Engine Room Order Telegraphs and Tell Tales.
Inventor: MOSCA ALESSANDRO
Filed: 1899-08-31
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 17,624. Mosca, A., and Sivitz, A. Aug. 31. Switches. - Comprises a switch for use in an electric order telegraph and tell-tale for ships and other engine-rooms, whereby (in the case of a ship, for instance) the captain may know whether his orders as to the engine have been correctly carried out, through the medium of an alarm which is started when an order is given and continues to operate until the order is correctly performed. The commutator or switch forms the transmitter in which, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a contact-arm 28 is capable of rocking over a plate bearing a number of contact-buttons 36, 37, 38, 39. The buttons are of bone or the like, and act on spring terminals x to which the circuit wires are connected. The arm 28 is moved one way or the other whenever the engine is started or reversed by the frictional engagement of a sector with a grooved pulley, which is rotated through worm and toothed gear and a grooved pulley by the engine shaft. In its extreme position on either side the sector becomes free from the grooved pulley. The arm 28 is brought into a central position whenever the engine controlling-gear is operated to stop the engine, by means of linkage operated by a cam on the weight shaft.

Patent GB-190015587-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Matches.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1900-09-01
Granted: 1901-06-29
Abstract: 15,587. Bloxam, A. G., [Soc. Anon. de Machines Industrielles]. Sept. 1. Matches.-Relates to match-making machines in which the splints are first secured in a frame, which is then transferred to the dipping-apparatus. The frame a, Fig. 5, comprises three perforated plates, of which the upper and lower ones s. t may be fixed, so that their apertures register, while the central plate k can be moved longitudinally against the pressure of springs m, and thus secure the splints v. The empty frame is laid upon a table w Fig. 1, and receives the splints from a series of tubes p, fitted in perforated plates o, forming parts of a box e, preferably hinged to the table. A movable plate f normally closes the lower ends of the tubes p, but, when the box e is turned down over the frame a, the plate f is moved, to uncover the lower ends of the tubes, by means of a lever g pivoted at n and arranged to strike a projection h which is fixed to a box d pivoted to the table. This box, which can be shaken by well-known mechanism i, delivers the splints to the tubes p, ready to be inserted in the apertures of the frame a. After the frame has been filled, the splints are locked by means of a screw b, acting upon the plate k, which is then secured by means of wedges. The filled frame then travels along rails 19 over a drying-table, paraffin or sulphur vat 3, Fig. 8, and a table which is intermittently rotated by means of a pawl and ratchet mechanism, and serves to apply igniting-composition to the splints. A dished plate 5 is secured to a vertically-reciprocating frame 6, and transfers sulphur or paraffin to the splints, from a steam-jacketed vat 3. The plates 6 are secured to rods 7 carried by brackets 8, which are secured to rods 9, actuated by means of notched disc cranks 12, and slotted bars 11, secured to the rods 9. After the splints have been dipped, they are struck violently by a plate 14 carried by a looselymounted frame 13, the lower ends of which fall into the notches of the disc cranks 12. By this means, superfluous sulphur or paraffin is removed. The frame next passes to the table for applying igniting- composition, which is spread uniformly over the table by means of inclined blades and a scraper. During the dipping operation, the frame is supported by vertically-reciprocating rails, and is forced towards the table by a rising and falling plate.
