Patent GB-190002390-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: BROWN HENRY
Filed: 1900-02-06
Granted: 1900-03-10
Abstract: 2390. Brown, H. Feb. 6. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to a machine for knitting a tubular seamless fabric with openwork at intervals, as shown in Fig. 9. Ordinary short latched needles f are arranged in the needlecylinder alternately with long latched needles g ; tricks adjacent to the long latched needles may be empty. The ordinary cam b<1> raises both sets of needles, but does not raise the long latched needles sufficiently for the loop to get under the latches g<1>, Fig. 7<a>. In alternate courses an extra cam m is raised into action, and raises the long latched needles till the loop is below the latch, so that at the next course the loops are knocked over. The cam m is raised and lowered by a spring-pressed pivoted lever m<1>, which is actuated by a cam m<3> on an axle m<4>, on which is a fourtoothed ratchet-wheel m<5>. As the cam cylinder rotates, the ratchet strikes a fixed projection, and is rotated 90‹ for every revolution of the cylinder.

Title: Improvements in Compensating Governors.
Inventor: DAZEY PAUL EMILE
Filed: 1900-03-19
Granted: 1900-04-28
Abstract: 5162. Dazey, P. E., Dazey, F., and Gregoire, A. March 19. Centrifugal and electric governors.-Relates to compensating gear for centrifugal governors, in which the transmitting-rod, through which the main governor acts on the engine controlling- apparatus, receives a permanent adjustment through the medium of an auxiliary governor whenever the engine speed tends to change. The auxiliary governor may be either a centrifugal governor or, in the case of an engine driving a dynamo, an electric governor. Fig. 1 shows the former in elevation, and Fig. 3 shows a section through the box a. In this box are shafts b, b<1> revolving in opposite directions and driven by the engine, and above them, carried by a lever g fulcrumed at h, is a friction pulley f, which by the auxiliary governor lever s can be made to press against one or other of two friction-wheels on the shafts b, b<1>. Motion thus received is transmitted through toothed and worm gear to the hollow screwed sleeve q whereby the transmitting-rod of the main governor is lengthened or shortened. The position of the fulcrum h can be adjusted for regulating the speed of control. In the case of a motor driving a dynamo, the electromagnetic arrangement shown in Fig. 5 is substituted for the auxiliary centrifugal governor. In this the lever w<1>, balanced by the weight r', makes and breaks circuits for energizing one or other of the electromagnets x, x<1> according to variations of current in the electromagnet y, and thus operates the lever g as before.

Granted: 1901-04-06
Abstract: 7824. Stanley, R., and Smith, R. H. April 27 Moulding drain pipes.-Relates to the forming of socketed ends of drain pipes and other like articles from plastic clay or similar material. The socket die used in the machine is divided into two halves, which may be contracted to compress the material powerfully. In the machine shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the half dies a slide in metal guide-bars b, and bear lugs f which connect them to the levers g extending to the rear and operated by the hand-wheel m. Metal runners c are attached to the die halves to slide in the grooves in the guide-bars, the grooves also serving as stops. Hardened metal tips e are screwed into the die halves. The shaft bears right and left handed threads at the ends, and carries hollow blocks n with rounded inner surfaces. Hydraulic or other power may be used instead of the hand-wheel, to actuate the arms g, In a modified form of apparatus, the die halves slide in parallel guides, and a pair of wedges fill up the gaps between the ends of the die halves, the wedges and die halves move synchronously through crank and linkage gear, and pressure is applied through pressure blocks connected to a rectangular frame actuated by screw mechanism.

Title: An Improved Venting and Pressure-relieving Stopper or Device for Vessels.
Inventor: JONES JOSEPH HENRY
Filed: 1901-02-07
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 2627. Jones, J. H. Feb 7. Stoppers.-For the purpose of venting and relieving pressure in vessels, the cork stopper a is bored centrally to receive the peg c of wood &c., which is formed with longitudinal and transverse passages c<5>, c<4>, communicating with each other. The passage c<4> is normally closed by the band d of rubber &c., which can be pulled outward, when desired, by means of its lip d<2>, so as to uncover the passage c<4>. In case of excessive pressure within the vessel, the band will be forced outwards automatically to relieve the pressure. The collar c<2> on the lower end of the peg prevents the latter from being pulled or forced through the cork. Instead of the cork, other means may be employed for making an airtight connection between the peg and the vessel. Thus, the collar c<2> may be extended &c., and tapered or formed so that it can be driven or screwed into a suitable part of the vessel.

Abstract: 14,946. Haas, M. July 23. Bleaching-compounds. - In electrolytic apparatus, such as is described in Specifications No. 10.215, A.D. 1899, and No. 9331, A.D. 1900, for making bleaching compounds, and in which doublepole electrodes are used and thereby divide the cell into several compartments, long narrow channels are arranged to form the only liquid connection between these compartments. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cell b is contained in an outer storage vessel a, and is divided into compartments by divisions r forming the intermediate electrodes. The liquid enters the electrolytic apparatus through long narrow non-conducting channels d each of which leads to a separate compartment. The liquid flows out of these compartments through narrow channels e back to the storage vessel. If the electrolytic vessel is connected to an upper storage vessel and a lower collecting vessel, long narrow pipes are led from the storage vessel near the bottom of each compartment of the cell, and from the top of the latter to the collecting vessel. In another form, a long narrow pipe connects each compartment of the cell to the following one, so that the liquid passes through each compartment in turn.
