Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Use in Modelling, Decorating and otherwise Working in Plastic Material.
Inventor: CHURCH MELVIN BATCHLOR
Filed: 1898-07-30
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 16,640. Church, M. B. July 30. Modelling, artistic.-Relates to apparatus for modelling, or producing decorations in relief on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces by squirting plastic material through a flexible hose pipe F and nozzle R on to the surface. A mixture of calcined gypsum and glue or other plastic material is introduced into a cylinder A, and forced through the pipe by a plunger driven forward by a worm on a handwheel shaft gearing with a worm-wheel nut on the screwed plunger rod C. The rotation of the screwed rod is prevented by a key or stop pin which enters a slot in the rod. When the key is withdrawn, the rod can be fed forward rapidly through the worm-wheel nut by a handle c until the air is expelled from the cylinder and the plunger comes in contact with the plastic material. The plunger fits loosely enough to allow air to escape past it, and is made with annular grooves to receive the plastic material which, on setting, prevents the escape of plastic material between the plunger and cylinder. A collar at the end of the screwed rod is arranged to turn in a split ring secured by screws to the plunger, and the flexible pipe is connected to a grooved slotted collar at the front of the cylinder by a conical cap or junction piece E made with lugs or hooks E<1>. The thrust of the screwed spindle is taken up by a ring of balls which run in a V-shaped groove in a vertical disc and bear against the worm-wheel nut. The flow of material through the nozzle is regulated by a cock H actuated by a lever 10 controlled by a spring 12 and the finger and thumb of the operator. The aperture H<1> through the cock is made of such a shape that the plastic material emerges in a stream of rectangular or other required shape in cross-section. The casing of the valve or cock is preferably split, and the halves are secured together by screwed sleeves. The delivery end 13 of the nozzle is arranged to turn on the sleeve or extension 14, and is retained in place by set-screws 15 which enter a groove in the sleeve. If desired, the whole nozzle may be arranged to turn so that the plastic stream may be applied flatwise, on edge, or in an inclined manner. After the cylinder is emptied, the material is squeezed out of the pipe before it has time to set by tapered rollers 25 turned by a handle 26. The machine is supported by a frame Q<1> which is mounted on rollers and provided with handles for moving it about.

Title: Manufacture of Oxyanthraquinones and Oxyanthraquinonesulphonic Acids.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1898-11-09
Granted: 1899-08-12
Abstract: 23,644. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Nov. 9. Oxyanthraquinones and oxyanthraquinone sulphonic acids are produced without simultaneous formation of higher hydroxylated derivatives, by heating the alkaline or alkaline-earth salts of anthraquinone mono- and di-sulphonic acids under pressure with calcium, barium, or other alkalineearth hydroxide. Examples are given in which m-oxyanthraquinone is thus produced from sodium anthraquinone sulphonate, and in which anthraflavic acid, or 2-oxyanthraquinone-6-sulphonic acid, is prepared from sodium-alpha-anthraquinone disulphonate, according to the conditions employed. In a similar manner 2-oxyanthraquinone-7-sulphonic acid is obtained from #-anthraquinone disulphonic acid. 2-Oxyanthraquinone-6-sulphonic acid is converted, by heating it with calcium hydroxide, into anthraflavic acid. and by heating it with caustic snda and potassium chlorate it is converted into flavopurpurin. 2-Oxyanthraquinone- 7-sulphonic acid is converted by the same agents into isoanthraflavic acid and anthrapurpurin respectively.

Title: Improved Means applicable for use in Stopping and Re-starting Omnibuses, Tramcars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: WEBSTER HENRY LOW
Filed: 1898-12-13
Granted: 1899-11-04
Abstract: 26,396. Webster, H. L., and Norballe, H. J. Dec. 13. Starting and stopping omnibuses and other horsedrawn and electrically or mechanically propelled vehicles. Fig. 1 shows the application to an omnibus. By pulling the bell crank I to force the rollers G against the road wheels, the shaft A, carried in the pivoted brackets H, is rotated and winds up the spring drum D to stop the vehicle by means of the sheave C and chain C', while the sheave E, which is connected to the drum D by a chain E', is wound in the opposite direction to the sheave C by a light spring or rack and pinion gearing, not shown. On releasing the clutch B, the drum D revolves and the pawl F<1> carried by the sheave E turns the ratchet-wheel F on the shaft A and rotates the road wheels by the pulleys G, which have flanges between which a rubber band is compressed so as to secure the outer cover g<3> from displacement. The outer part of the clutch B is formed with the sheave C, while the inner part is keyed to the shaft A and has two radial arms b with extensions b<1> which can be forced apart by wedges b<2> carried by telescopic spring arms b<3> pivoted on trunnions projecting from a sliding collar on the shaft A. When the clutch members arc only partly in gear, the friction between them acts as a brake for the shaft A and road wheels. In a modification, each radial arm b has vibratory arm, one end of which acts against the free end of the extension b<1> and the other end has a spring plunger. The shaft A may be driven from the road wheels by friction blocks carried by chains mounted to run on wheels on the shaft A and pins on the brackets H, or by chain gearing from the wheel hubs. In the application to tramcars and other vehicles with revolving axles, the clutch B, sheaves C, E, and other parts are mounted on these axles. The chains C<1>, E<1> are in some cases attached to the piston-rod crosshead of a fixed or oscillating air-compressing cylinder containing a spring.
Patent GB-189827367-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or applicable to Machines used for Winding, Gassing, or the like Operations on Thread or Yarn.
Inventor: HORROCKS JAMES
Filed: 1898-12-28
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 27,367. Horrooks, J. Dec. 28. Winding-machines ; yarns, finishing.-Relates to drum winding-machines for winding, gassing, and like operations on thread or yarn. Reference is made to Specification No. 3132, A.D. 1881. The bobbin carrier b is pivoted at b<1> and pressed against the winding-drum f by a weighted cord. It is carried by a swinging frame c, which is held in the raised position shown by a prop k, the foot of which engages with the detector box l. When a thread breaks, the detector box is rotated by the wiper l', the prop is released, and the frame c falls, causing the bobbin a to be moved from the drum and against a brake m. For stopping the bobbin when it has attained a sufficient diameter, an eccentric roller q is adjustably mounted on a swinging bracket q<3> supported by the frame c. When the ball is completely wound, it engages with and rotates the eccentric roller q, which causes the bobbin to be moved away from the drum, and the consequent slackening of the yarn brings into action the stop mechanism above described. When the frame c falls, the bracket q<3>, being unsupported, falls with it, and the roller q is removed from contact with the bobbin. To remove the bobbin from contact with the brake, the carrier b is pulled outwards until the foot of a hinged prop n engages with a stop o which, when the frame c falls, projects through an aperture therein. By raising the frame c all the parts are restored to their working position, the foot of the bracket q<3> riding up the incline c<3> on the frame. In an arrangement in which the mechanism for stopping the bobbin when an end breaks is not employed, the carrier b is mounted on a fixed rod, and is held in the withdrawn position away from the drum by a catch carried by a bracket on the fixed rod and engaging with a projection on the bobbin carrier. The Provisional Specification indicates an arrangement by which the detector box is tilted by the bobbin carrier when the bobbin is completely wound.

There are perforations j<2> in the upper part of the globe holder, and k<1> in the lower part of the fitting K, which is attached to the holder J. The upper ends of the air tubes E are connected to the fitting F, of which the upper part is surrounded by a ring M in which the bail N is pivoted, and the lower part is partially choked by an inclined flange or air-deflector O. Two rods P, of which one is shown in Fig. 3, arranged at right-angles to the arms E, guide the holder J, and have springs Q which normally maintain the holder in contact with the flange g of the globe. The holder J is surmounted by a cap L to which a finger ring l is attached. Within the burner casing B, the perforated basket R, Fig. 4, with its plate 2 and curved, perforated baffles r<4>, r<3>, in which the holes in the lower baffle are larger than those in the upper baffle, is surmounted by a burner cone D, which is provided with a flange and a projection for ensuring certain and accurate attachment. Details, such as the position of the flange O relatively to the upper ends of the tubes E, may be modified. When the burner is adapted for use with lamps, the casing B is dispensed with, and the basket R is supplemented by a chimney holder or gallery.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for the Production of Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: PIANET EMILE
Filed: 1899-04-21
Granted: 1900-03-24
Abstract: 8402. Pianet, E. April 21. Acetylene.-Relates to apparatus in which production takes place in small measured quantities in proportion to the rate of consumption. Within a tank 1 a space is partitioned off by walls 3, 4, 5, and 6 for containing a bell 8 which has a vertical motion limited to about 1 inch. A rod 28 carried by the bell bears upon a lever 26 which is connected with bell-crank levers 23, 24. These levers are shown turned through 90‹ about the axis of the chamber 20. They open and close shutters 21 movable in opposite directions across the chamber 20 for admitting measured quantities of carbide to the water. A rod 31, also operated by the lever 26, actuates a meter 32 which indicates the quantity of carbide used. A tube 34 serves for admitting water to the tank, and also for the escape of water and of accidental excess of gas through the tank 35 and overflow pipe 36. For putting a maximum pressure upon the bell in its lowest position, when it receives the inrush of gas from a fresh charge of carbide, there are pivoted at 11 a pair of counterbalanced troughs 10 which bear at 12 on projections 13 on the bell and contain rolling weights 9. These weights roll towards the pivots as the bell rises, and the pressure on the bell is thereby diminished. As the bell descends, the weights return to the position shown in Fig. 2.

Abstract: 17,718. Overman, A. H., and Bullard, J. H. Sept. 1. Liquid-fuel fittings; draught - inducers.-In a steam-propelled motor road vehicle with a liquid-fuel steam generator, the fuel is supplied by air pressure on its surface, and the supply is regulated in accordance with variations in the pressure of the steam generator. Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of the generator and its appurtenances. The air is supplied by a compressor 53 furnished with a regulator by which the air pressure in the fuel tank 56 is kept constant. From the tank 56 the fuel passes through a heater 11, and thence traverses a tube over the burner under the generator, where it is vaporized. The vapour then passes through a valve 112, on its way to the burner orifices. The valve 112 is operated by a diaphragm apparatus 114, acted on by boiler steam, so that, as the steam pressure rises, the fuel valve tends to close. The exhaust from the heater 11 may be directed, when desired, into the furnace flue for draught-inducing purposes through a pipe 72.
