Patent GB-190202884-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Wardrobes, Cupboards, and the like
Inventor: BEAMISH GEORGE HORATIO TOWNSEN
Filed: 1902-02-04
Granted: 1903-01-01
Abstract: 2884. Kirkpatrick, N. W., and Henry, M. Feb. 4. Pins for cottaring, making. Cottar pins are made from wire by bending a length of wire e<11>, Fig. 3<a>, round a vertical rod e, Figs. 3<a> and 2, by means of a slide H, which clamps the wire and offects the initial bending, and blocks carried by the slides G<1> which have a longitudinal movement and a lateral movement due to the links J connecting the slides G<1> to the slides G. The slides G, G<1>, H are moved longitudinally by cams C', C<11>, C<111> on the main shaft B. These cams act on the slide through yokes D<1>. The rod e is raised and lowered into position by a lever K<1> actuated by a cam on the main shaft. The wire is fed against a stop p by a slide connected by a link to a crank of variable throw. This stop is pushed into position and released after the wire has been sheared, by a slide q actuated by one of the yokes D'. The wire is sheared by a slide which pushes the wire against a cutter. The slide is operated by the lever N actuated by a cam on the main shaft. The severed wire drops between stops i connected by bars g, g<1> with the slides G<1>. The ends of the cottar pin are bevelled by cutters s carried by a head r, which is rotated by a pulley t<11> and is mounted on a slide u reciprocated by a rod w<1> and a cam on the main shaft.

Title: Improvements in Enamelling Machines.
Inventor: CLAUS HUBERT
Filed: 1902-05-10
Granted: 1902-09-25
Abstract: 10,777. Claus, H. May 10. Enamelling.-Articles to be enamelled are placed one after another on a yielding spring arm v, are laid hold of by spring clamping-arms o at the end of a radial spindle e of a wheel d, are carried through a vessel w containing liquid or solid enamel, cleaned by a sponge or wiper x, and deposited on an endless-band conveyer z. The clamping-arms o are forced inwards by springs, and apart by a fixed cam plate or guide u which acts on rollers of the arms. The spindle e is rotated in one direction when the article is leaving the vessel wby a bevel-wheel f gearing with a fixed toothed segment, and is rotated in the opposite direction by a spring k in order to throw off excess of enamel by centrifugal force and wipe it on the sponge. The article may be moistened and passed through powdered enamel, or the enamel may be poured or sprinkled over the article.

Title: Improvements in Safety Appliances for Winding Engines.
Filed: 1902-09-22
Granted: 1903-07-23
Abstract: 20,646. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Sept. 22. Winding-engines; regulating speed.- Relates to signalling-apparatus between the pit's mouth and engineman, and consists in the use of a safety- stop such as c, which, on the electric or other signal being given for winding at a certain speed, e.g., half speed for men, is automatically interposed in the path of the controlling-lever of the engine, so as to prevent this lever from being moved beyond the position corresponding to the speed required The invention is especially applicable to electric winding-engines, but may be also applied to steam engir es, provided a controlling-lever and gear of suitable character is fitted.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Shuttle Box Motions of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: AINLEY JOHN SHAW
Filed: 1902-09-30
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 21,204. Ainley, J. S. Sept. 30. Loom change-box motions.-The shuttle boxes, instead of being allowed to fall solely by gravitation, as in the Hollingworth Knowles' loom, are pulled down by chains actuated by the same levers which move the chains for lifting the boxes. The reversing or depressing chain 17, Fig. 1, is connected to the boss 9 on the lever 3, is passed round sprocket-wheels 18, 19, 18<1> on the lever 4 and on the framing, and is connected to a lug 21 on the spindle 15 supporting the shuttle box 16. The movements of one or both of the levers 3, 4 to the positions shown by the broken lines L, causes the chain 10 to raise the shuttle box, the chain 17 being paid out sufficiently by the same movements. The return of the levers 3, 4 causes the chain 17 to depress the boxes, the chain 10 being paid out correspondingly. A second set of levers and chains 10<1>, 22, &c. operate the shuttle box at the other side of the loom. In a modification, the lever 4 is replaced by a T-lever 4, Fig. 2, having on its ends sprocket-wheels 24, 25 over which pass the chains 10,17.

Abstract: 26,799. Godfrey, H. W. Dec. 4. Coated fabrics.-Relates to machines for inlaying linoleum and the like by placing tesserµ on a canvas or similar backing. The tesserµ bare piled in a box a, beneath which reciprocates a plate c provided with a shoulder c<2> notched to correspond with the shape of the tesserµ and the sides of the box. The backing d passes from the roller e round the guide-rollers e<1>, e<2>, e<3> to a roller f, which dips into a heated trough f of adhesive material, and round a spring-pressed roller e' which keeps the backing tight, to a roller c<3> carried by the plate c so as to guide the backing through the slot in the plate. After the tesserµ have been placed on the backing, it passes over the plate c to the drum g, which carries ratchet-wheels g<1> gearing with driving-pawls h<1> pivoted to rocking segments h. Retaining-pawls k, pivoted on pins k<1>, have arms connected by links k<2> to rollers k<3> running in grooves in the cam-wheels k<4> mounted on the shaft l. The plate c is reciprocated by means of a crosshead n, connected, by links m, pivoted levers o, and rods p, to variable-throw cranks p<1> mounted on the shaft l. Bands r, s are secured to and pass in opposite directions round the segments h, and have their ends r<2>, s<2> secured to reciprocating rods t which move with the crossheads n. During the backward stroke of the plate c, the drum g and the backing d are held stationary by the engagement of the retaining-pawls k with the ratchetwheels g<1>, to allow the tesserµ to be placed on the backing. The box a is continuously vibrated.

Abstract: 8737. Oppenheimer, H., [Akt.-Ges. Mix & Genest.] April 16. Indicators an d annunciators.-A drum - shaped annunciator revolves under the action of a torsion spring when released by the attraction of an armature; the drum is mechanically replaced by the insertion of the plug. When a call is given, the armature a' is drawn down and the catch b releases the drum c, which revolves under the action of the spring e and exposes through the glass opening h the indicating.port. When the plug is inserted into the jack g, it pushes aside the roller attachment f, which is arranged eccentrically on the drum c. This attachment f is pushed to the position shown in dotted lines, and returns the drum to its initial position. Other modifications of this method of restoring the indicator are given. The attachment f may be indirectly acted on by the plug, through the medium of a flat spring. It may also be so arranged that it normally closes the jack and acts as a dustproof shutter.
