Title: Exercising Apparatus for Children.
Inventor: LOVELL EDWIN
Filed: 1905-03-04
Granted: 1905-06-08
Abstract: 4500. Lovell, E. March 4. Exercising-apparatus; swings ; horizontal bars ; s af e t y enclosures for children; gocarts.-A nursery apparatus is formed of four posts A, Fig. 1, fixed in base-plates B and connected together by rails C so as to form a safety playground for a child and so as to assist the child in learning to walk. A swing chair F is pivoted to a carrier E, which can slide along the rails C. The carrier E is formed with a slot e, Fig. 5, for the top rail to take into, and a groove el to fit over the bottom rail: or, the carrier is formed of two hinged parts, Fig. 6, with grooves to enable the carrier to be clamped over the rails by means of a thumb-screw, which locks the chair in position. The carrier E is formed with sockets e<4>, in which are fixed supports carrying a horizontal bar with rings or other gymnastic apparatus. Rods a' for carrying an awning &c., a hammock, or gymnastic apparatus are fixed to the posts A. A tray G is adjustably connected to one end of the enclosure by means of slotted brackets D and thumb-screws, similar to those used for connecting the posts A and bases B. A swinging cot may be suspended from the rods a<1>; or, as shown in Fig. 3, it may be pivoted in a bracket H, provided with grooves J fitting over the rods C, and with stops h<1> to limit the movement of the cot. For convenience in packing, the posts A may each be provided with a hinged foot M, Fig. 8, with or without a hinged strut N, which engages a notch in the base. The posts are connected by bars L secured by screws to the posts.

Title: Improvements in Cranes
Inventor: FIEGEHEN EDWARD GEORGE
Filed: 1905-03-06
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 4583. Fiegehen, E. G. March 6. Stop-gear.-Comprises engine stop-gear in connexion with means for rendering impossible the lifting by jib cranes of loads exceeding a prede. termined percentage of the tipping load at any radius, and consists in operating valves or the like for cutting off the supply of power when a load exceeding this maximum is negociated. The invention is described with reference to a steam crane, but is applicable when other actuating-means are employed. Levers A, pivoted at B, and taking a part of the pull of the tie-rods at one end C, are connected by links E with a spring-box F. When the maximum load is being dealt with, the piston L in the box F is depressed to such an extent that the hinged head P of a spring-controlled rodO enters a slot N in a rod M attached to the rods E and allows a ball valve W to open. The piston L is provided with a small vent so as to act as a dashpot and prevent the release of the mechanism due to mere jerking of the load. The ball valve W is situated at the end of the connecting-pipe S leading to the cut-off valve, Fig. 7, inserted in the steam-supply pipe. The cut-off valve consists of a piston T, sliding horizontally in a liner U and normally maintaining the ports open by the action of a spring V. When the ball valve W is opened, steam escapes along the connecting-pipe S from the left-haud side X of the piston T, causing a fall of pressure on this side and a consequent axial movement of the piston in the liner U and shutting off of steam from the engine. The small holes a', a<2>, a<3>, b are for cushioning the action and for rendering the return more certain. To reset the mechanism, a hand-operated lever is caused to engage a notch in a sliding bar attached to the trigger-head P which withdraws the trigger-head from the notch N and resets the ball valve W.

Automatic instruments.-The tunesheet winding- mechanism of an automatic p i a n o or the like is arranged on pivoted frames, bringing the tune-sheet into full view when in. use, and folding under the key bed when out of use, the tracker bar sliding under the key bed. The music roller is supported upon the axis m, Fig. 1, the take-up roller being at r. In Fig 2, the music roller is shown in its turned-up position above the key board b. The music roller is supported between arms i<1>, i<2>, forming, with the connecting- bar k, a frame which turns about the axis of the wheel 6. Another independently rotatable frame, consisting of the arms n<1>, n<2> and the connecting-bar o, is pivoted co-axially with the first, and carries the take-up roller r, to which is secured a gearwheel v. The brackets h<1>, h<2> also carry the bearings for the motion shaft x, driven by the sprocket z, and longitudinally slidable, by means of a lever to which is attached a pin 12 engaging between two collars 13, 14 on the shaft x. On this shaft is fixed a pinion w, and a chain-wheel 2 is loose on the shaft and prevented from moving longitudinally with it. When the shaft x is slid to the left by means of the pin 12, the pinion w is thrown out of gear with the wheel v, and the chain-wheel 2 is clutched to the shaft x by the engagement of pins 15, 16. This chain-wheel 2 drives a compound chain-wheel 6, mounted co-axially with the pivoted frames, and this drives, by means of a second chain 7 led over suitable rollers 8, the chain-wheel 9 and the clutch m engaging with the music roll, giving a quick return motion for rewinding the tune-sheet.

Abstract: 26,249. Anton, F. Dec. 16. Parallel knitting - machines.-Tubular hosiery with weft-thread insertions is produced on parallel knitting - machines which have in addition to the ordinary needles e, Fig. 2, half their number of subsidiary needles b, both sets of needles being provided with bows a, g, respectively. After a new thread has been laid, the subsidiary needles b are advanced into the old loops d, Fig. 9, opened by the bows a, so that, as the needles e retire in order to knock over the old loops, the loops d are caught on the subsidiary needles b as shown in Fie. 10. The needles b, e are then drawn apart and the weft thread f laid on loops c, d, Fig. 11, by means of a separate threadcarrier. The needles bare then advanced through the loops d to get the latter behind their latches and are opened by the bows g, and the needles e raised into these loops. A fresh thread is then laid as shown in Fig. 13 and the needles bare withdrawn, leaving both loops e, d with the thread f between them on the needles e. The subsidiary needle bed is then shogged sideways one needle space and the needles advanced into the loops on the opposite main needles as shown in Fig. 9. All the loops are then knocked over by the withdrawal of the main needles e, and the cycle of operations is repeated. Fig. 7 shows the appearance of the fabric produced. Specifications No. 6939, A.D. 1895, No. 21,660, A.D. 1902, and No. 27,730, A.D. 1903 are referred to.

On the shaft b, Figs. 1 and 2, is secured a boss a which carries a number of disks c. Between and around each two of these disks are mounted two or more rings d, having teeth e internally and cam-surfaces f externally. In the disks c are mounted a number of shafts g, each having a pinion h in gear with the teeth of a ring d, and a worm-wheel i in gear with a worm k, mounted in bearings on the outer disk and adapted to be turned by a key &c. To keep the disks at the required distance apart, bushes on the shafts g and the bosses of the pinions h are made of a suitable length. Bolts m with bushes may also be used. The cam may be turned bodily on the boss a by means of a worm o mounted in bearings fixed to a disk c, and gearing with a worm-wheel n, fixed to the boss, or in a modified form, fixed adjustably thereto by means of set-screws or bolts in slots.
