Granted: 1902-06-19
Abstract: 5141. Golland, H. S., and Whyte, J. D. March 1. Mules.-Relates to improvements on the inventions described in Specifications No. 23,069, A.D. 1 8 9 6, and No. 26,188, A.D. 1898. The threads are prevented from leaving the inclined guides, when at the lower parts of the same, by means of parallel surfaces, whereby when the threads are being wound on the wider parts of the cop chase, they are confined in slots b. The guides may be formed by stamping from sheet metal, the rounded edges being covered with brass or coated with enamel or plated. They may be made of wire, glass, &c. and are secured to a carrier bar a<1> of half-round section, which is supported and slides upon the tops of the pokers b<2>. The lifting-pokers are connected by chains and pulleys to a shaft which is rotated intermittently at each run-in of the carriage by chains d connected with the nut e which supports the shaper 3. The screw f of the nut is rotated intermittently, in a manner similar to that described in the Specification No. 26,188, A.D. 1898, by means of a rack l on the floor, which operates the screw through spur and ratchet mechanism. In order to improve the formation of the cop-bottom, the shaper 3 is formed near the end with a concave surface 4, and the pulley g over which passes the chain d is provided with an adjustable screw 5, by which the chain is deflected during the formation of the cop-bottom. The carrier bar a' of the inclined thread guides may be reciprocated by means of an adjustable crank connected by gearing with the rack l on the floor, the crank being connected with a horizontal slide 12, which is provided with extensions 15 parallel with the spindles on which the bar a<1> can slide as it is raised and lowered. In Fig. 7 is shown a method of gradually increasing the traverse of the guide carrier as the cop-bottom is formed after which the traverse continues uniform until the cops are completely wound. The slide 12 is connected with a lever 18 oscillated by a cam 24 and provided with a fulcrum which can slide in the bracket 20. During the formation of the cop-bottom, a rod 26 depending from the fulcrum is supported by a stud 28 carried by a disc on the poker shaft i, and, as the cop-bottom is completed and the shaft i rotated, the fulcrum is allowed to fall and approach the lower end of the lever 18. When the cop-bottom is finished, an adjustable screw 29 in the foot of the rod 26 rests upon a stop, and the traverse thereafter continues uniform.

Patent GB-190223848-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Method and Apparatus for Producing Compressed Air and the like.
Inventor: HEIN ADOLF
Filed: 1902-10-31
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 23,848. Hein, A. Oct. 31. Compressing.-Air and the like is compressed by a continuous series of impulses caused by the flow of a liquid under pressure in pipes, the action resembling that of a hydraulic ram. The pipe a, fitted with a lift valve b, is connected on the left of the valve with a head of liquid. When the valve is opened temporarily, the liquid rushes into an air chamber e, and the air in the chamber, being compressed by the impulse, passes through a tube l and expands an elastic membrane k contained in a closed vessel h. The air in the vessel h thus becomes compressed, and enters the vessel e through a pipe g ; or it may be led away to a separate reservoir for use as required. The impulse having ceased, the valve b closes by gravity, the membrane k collapses, and more air enters the chamber k from the atmosphere through a valve i. The valve b is then raised again, and the action is repeated. Fresh supplies of air are thus continually forced into the vessel e, which communicates with a reservoir m from which the air can be drawn for use as required. To cause the periodical lifting of the valve b, the pressure liquid, at each impulse, raises a weighted valve q until ports o, p in it coincide with ports in receptacles r. The liquid in the pipe can thus enter the receptacles r and force the air contained in them through a pipe u, which may convey it to a reservoir for use. When the impulse ceases, the weighted valve p falls and creates a backward pressure sufficient to raise the valve b for the next impulse, the liquid in the vessels r escaping, in the meanwhile, through openings w in the stem of the valve p.

Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 8673. O'Donnell, J. P., [Sheridan, T. F.]. April 16. Casting and moulding.-Relates to the construction of sand-shakers for screening sand in foundries and the like. The sieve is fixed in a circular metal ring a, the ends of which are drawn together by a screw c. The ring a is supported by springs e, e from standards f, g secured to a base-plate h. The ring a is moved in one direction by the action of a piston k working in a pneumatic cylinder i, and is returned to its original position by the action of the springs e, e. Fig. 3 shows the pneumatic cylinder i in section ; n is the inlet port and p the exhaust port. The piston-rod is formed with a head l having passages m formed through it. A valve q with passages r slides loosely on the pistonrod. When the valve q is in the position shown in Fig. 3, air under pressure is admitted through the port n and drives the piston k outwards until the piston head l carries the valve q forwards to close the port n and open the port p. The piston is then forced backwards by the sieve frame a under the pressure of the springs e, and the same series of movements again take place.

Title: Improvements in Inverted Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: SMITH THOMAS BAKER
Filed: 1903-05-05
Granted: 1904-03-10
Abstract: 10,191. Smith, T. B. May 5. Incandescent gas lamps.-Relates to inverted incandescent gas lamps so arranged that glass domes having no air inlets may be employed. Surrounding the usual burner cone 4, Fig. 1, is a deflecting-plate 5 carried by narrow strips 6 attached to the central joint pipe 7. Between the plate and the cone is an annular air passage 8. Above the plate is a hood 9 having a large central opening 10, so that the products of combustion can rise into a chamber 12 formed by a cover 11 above the hood, and so escape through openings 13, which are, preferably, narrow and horizontal. Between the plate 5 and the hood is the body 14, attached to the hood by connecting-pieces 15 so as to leave an annular air inlet 26 between the body and the hood. A baffle 17 is connected to the body at its lower edge, its upper edge being some distance away from the body. Air may thus enter through perforations 19 in the body and pass up over the upper edge of the baffle and then down through an annular space 16. The air then passes over the surface of the glass and rises in a central current to the burner. An extended reflector 21 is connected to the lower part of the body, and may be hinged at one side, the glass being connected to the reflector. More than one burner may be arranged inside the glass dome. In a modification, the baffle is made in two parts 17<a>, 17<b>, Fig. 3, the upper part being attached to the body 14 by strips 28, and the lower part being connected to the body at its lower edge. A number of openings 31 in the bottom of the body permit the escape of any water which collects between the body and the baffle. The deflecting- plate 5, where more than one burner is employed, may be secured by a set-screw on the central pillar, so that it may be readily slid down to give access to the burners.

Title: Improvements relating to Cartridges.
Inventor: JONES EDWARD
Filed: 1903-06-18
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 13,659. Jones, E. June 18. Cartridges, small-arm.-Relates to the manufacture of paper caulks for strengthening the heads and receiving the cap chambers of sporting or other cartridges, and comprises means for automatically and continuously cutting a strip of paper from a roll, winding the strip into a cylindrical form, compressing and binding the convolutions together, and discharging the finished caulks. Figs. 1 and 2 are side and end elevations of the complete machine, Figs. 4 and 5 show the cutting-apparatus, Fig. 6 the winding-mechanism and the feed therefor, and Figs. 8 and 10 the consolidating and discharging mechanism. The paper is drawn off a drum c, Fig. 1, by rolls f positively-driven by a cam g and ratchet gearing, and is fed between shears a, b, Fig. 4. The lower blade a is fixed, and the upper blade b is carried by a rocking lever i, Fig. 5, actuated by a lever k and cam j. The paper is held during shearing by a weighted presser l lifted by a screw on the lever i, and is elevated and fed uniformly between the shears by a rising and falling bar m operated by the lever i. The separated strip is next moved parallel to the shears by a reciprocating arm n, Fig. 6, driven by a lever o and cam, and serrated on its nnder face ; the forward end of the arm is alternately raised and lowered by the link connection with the lever o. The strip is thus fed to a slotted winding-spindle r, intermittently driven by a cam t and a rod s connected by a spring to a rack u engaging a pinion v on the multiplying- gear y. The clutch w, Fig. 8, engages only in the forward or winding direction. The spindle r is held with its eye in alignment with the arm n by a spring stop x, and is stopped by a lever z engaging a stop on the train. The coiled strip is then forced by a sleeve 2 into an aperture in a carrier e, Figs. 8 and 10, rotated by ratchet gearing 6 and locked at each stop by a spring bolt 7 controlled by a cam and lever 8 ; the caulks are carried round opposite consolidating-punches in slides 10, Fig. 1, being thereby crimped to prevent unrolling, and are finally ejected by similar punches.

Title: Improvements in Hose Couplings.
Inventor: GOLD EDWARD ETHEL
Filed: 1903-06-29
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 14,463. Gold, E. E. June 29. Couplings, disconnectible. - R e - lates more especially to couplings for pipes connecting railway vehicles, in which, in addition to the ordinary gravity locking-device, a spring catch is also provided so as to ensure against accidental uncoupling while the train is passing round curves ; means are also provided for guiding the respective heads correctly together in the act of coupling. Figs. 1 and 2 show an application of the invention to a coupling similar to that described in Specification No. 17,139, A.D. 1891, Fig. 1 being an underneath view partly in section of the two heads locked together, and Fig. 2 a side view of one of them. A cylindrical bolt H attached to a spring K, which is held by a fastener a, passes horizontally through the locking-arm E and projects sufficiently beyond it to enter a recess I formed in a corresponding location on the side of the opposite head, This recess has an inclined face, so that the spring pressure on the bolt H always tends to press the coupling heads into closer engagement and to resist their up-tilting or uncoupling movement. To facilitate coupling, the side of the bead having the recess is formed with a gradual incline to press out the latch before it enters the recess. This incline is preferably an arc-shaped groove, the engagement of which with the latch facilitates the initial fitting together of the heads. The spring latch may be provided on' one head and the recess on the other, or, preferably, both heads may be provided with both latch and recess.
