Title: Improvements in Regulators for Gas Burners.
Inventor: WILSON JAMES
Filed: 1899-11-20
Granted: 1900-11-10
Abstract: 23,088. Wilson, J. Nov. 20. Regulators.-A regulator for use in connection with any form of: illuminating gas burner consists of a perforated (Fig. 2<a>) or slotted (Fig. 2<b>) disc b having a spiral spring c. There may be such a disc at each end of the spring. This regulator is inserted in the gas pipe near the burner or tap, the ends of the spring or the discs bearing against collars or shoulders inside the pipe. An arrangement is illustrated, but is not claimed, in which the regulator is carried by a hollow shell which is screwed into, or otherwise fixed to, a socket or pipe, and in this case the disc may have a hollow perforated guide-plug, or the disc and guide-plug may be vertically slotted. The regulator may be fitted within a spigot-and-socket fitting. A gravity plug may be used instead of the spring and disc.

Title: Improvements in Kilns for Burning or Calcining Limestone or like Substances.
Inventor: SPENCER WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-02-16
Granted: 1901-02-16
Abstract: 3094. Spencer, W. Feb. 16. Kilns.-Air or other combustion-supporting gas is supplied to a kiln of the shaft type at a point or points near the fuel-supply apertures to ensure the complete combustion of smoke and gases and to increase the efficiency of the kiln. The invention is particularly applicable to lime kilns of the type shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which there are two or more superposed cavities or chambers with constricted intervening passages and openings for the supply of fuel at two or more heights or levels. The air is supplied through a number of vertical passages, indicated by dotted lines, in the wall of the lower chamber, which open out of an annular channel n and deliver into converging passages terminating in discharge orifices o in the constricted part e of the kiln above the fuel-supply openings g. Openings through the outer wall admit air to the channel n. The air-supply openings o may be regulated by dampers. In addition to the vertical passages described, other air passages may be formed in the walls to deliver air at or near the constricted part e of the kiln. Fuel is also supplied through the passage c<1> formed in the bridge-piece c. The charge of lime &c. is introduced at d. Both the upper and lower chambers, as shown, or the upper chamber only, are preferably enclosed in a metal casing. The lower chamber may be built into, or surrounded by, earth, in which case the annular channel n opens into the draw-hole of the kiln. The air passages also prevent overheating of the walls of the kiln.

Title: Improvements in Counting and Delivery Mechanism of Printing Machines
Inventor: DOW WILLIAM SAUDERS
Filed: 1901-11-21
Granted: 1902-10-30
Abstract: 23,633. Dow, W. S., and Smith, E. J. Nov. 21. Delivery apparatus.-Relates to means for delivering sheets or papers in counted batches from printing-machines. The papers passing from the printing and folding cylinders B, C are deflected by the guide D to the guide E, the curved surface of the latter deflecting them on to an intermittently - rotated receiver H. This receiver consists of arms or fingers H fixed on a star-shaped hub or huhs on a shaft F<1>, the sides G of the star hubs being at rightangles to the fingers H, so that the papers are delivered in squared batches. When the required number has been collected, the receiver is rotated, to deposit the batch on tapes O, and to bring another set of the fingers H into receiving position. The receiver is rotated by a ratchet-wheel F engaged by a pawl on an arm N connected by a rod M to an arm L' rocked in one direction by an arm J<2> and snail cam J, and in the ohber by a spring rod T. An arm L<11> on the shaft of the arm L' has a segmental rack gearing with a pinion Q having a pawl engaging a ratchet on the shaft of the pulleys P of the tapes O. The tapes are thus driven slowly while the receiver is collecting a batch, and remain at rest while each batch is delivered on to them.

Granted: 1902-04-03
Abstract: 26,748. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 31. Cut-outs.-In order to disconnect polyphase conductors if broken, the main currents are caused to produce rotation in an induction apparatus ; stoppage of a main current allows this apparatus to close a circuit, by which the main switches are opened. In the arrangement shown, as applied to a three-phase system, the main currents pass through transformers e,f, g, which supply secondary currents to coils on an iron ring a, provided with a central core, causing a conductive drum to turn in opposition to a spring ; if a current fails, an arm m of the drum is returned by the spring against a contact n, and closes a circuit including an electromagnet o, which attracts an armature and releases the main switches r so that these are opened by a spring. An apparatus having solenoids acting on cores carried by a balanced beam is disclaimed.

Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 27,362. Soc. Veuve A. Fayaud fils et gendre. Oct. 27, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Drawings to Specification. Dress shields.-Relates to the manufacture of dress shields from light fabrics and without any stitching around the seye curve. The piece of fabric to be operated upon is cut to the usual shape, and is coated on one side with rubber, which is subsequently vulcanized. The fabric is then shaped in a Hutchinson machine, the operating-die of which has been covered with swanskin or other material to prevent the formation of folds in the fabric during the shaping operation. The material, thus shaped, is covered with a stencil plate, and coated along its outer edges with cement, after which it is spread out on a curved block, and a similarly-shaped piece is placed on it and pressed against it so as to cause the two to adhere together. The shield thus formed is submitted to a second shaping operation in a Hutchinson machine. Instead of cementing, the two fabrics may be sewn together around the outer edges.
