Title: Improvements in Collar Studs
Inventor: WILLIS PERCY RICHARD JULIUS
Filed: 1908-09-12
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 19,167. Willis, P. R. J., [Brydges, S. M.]. Sept. 12. Studs.-In collar studs of the type in which the head can be turned into alinement with the shank, springs are dispensed with, and the head is immovably retained in alinement with the shank while the collar is being fastened. The shank of the stud is bent from a stamping 1, Fig. 5, which has incisions 2, 3, enclosing wings 10, incisions 4, 5 enclosing parts 6, and incisions 7 enclosing parts 8. The wings 10 are bent at right-angles and the stamping is bent on the line 12 over the rounded ends 13 of the wings. The portions 6, 8 are bent inwardly so that perforations 9 in those parts coincide. Wings 15 on the stamping are bent at rightangles outwardly and the metal is removed from the parts 8, forming coincident apertures 18 and a circular hole 19, Fig. 2. A stem 20 is then passed through the perforations 9, the stem having a flange 24 and a head 23 which cannot pass through a hole 22 in a casing 21 ; this casing encloses the wings 15 and forms the base of the stud. The flange 24 extends outwardly, Fig. 3, through the apertures 18. The head of the stud, which is pivoted through holes 30 in the wings 10, comprises a shell 25 having inturned flanges of which a portion 27 is removed to allow the head to be turned into alinement with the shank. A portion 31 in the centre is retained, this portion passing through the aperture 6 and having a hole through which the stem 20 can be pushed by the thumb to retain the head when the stud is being inserted. When fastened, the wings of the collar engage with the flange 24 to withdraw the stem 20 and release the head 25.

Title: Improvements in Lace and in the Method of Making the same.
Inventor: PEPPER SAM
Filed: 1908-10-01
Granted: 1909-09-10
Abstract: 20,670. Pepper, S. Oct. 1. Lace and lace making.-Relates to the production in curtain-fabric of muslin, clothing, cross-net, Madras, combination, and open-work effects, together with a number of new effects in which the spool threads pass from one group to another and cross each other at various angles. Four guide-bars e,f, g, h provided with thick spool threads a, thin spool threads b, c, and warp threads d, are operated as follows. On the first motion, the bars e, f rise two gaits before the jacks enter and subsequently the bars e, f, h rise two, fall one and rise one gait before the carriages pass to the front. On the second motion, the bars e, h fall three and two gaits respectively before the jacks enter, and subsequently the bars e, f fall one and the bar h rises one gait before the carriages pass to the back. On the third and fourth motion, the bars e, h repeat the cycle while the cycles of the bars f, g are interchanged. In addition to the other wellknown effects which may be made by suitably operating the pickers, cross-net, shown between 10 and 11, Fig. 2, is obtained by moving the jacks to m through the threads a, b, c on the odd motions and by moving them to l through the threads a only on the even motions, while Madras is made by moving the jacks to m on the first motion and to l on the three following motions. The combination of cross-net and open-work shown between 1 and 2 is obtained by moving all jacks to m on the first and fifth motions, and to l on the second and sixth motions, and by moving the even-numbered jacks to m and the odd-numbered jacks to l on the third and eighth motions and reserving the order in the fourth and seventh motions. The effect shown between 2 and 3 is similar to Madras, and is made from the spool threads b, c alternately by moving the jacks to l on the second and fourth motions, and by moving the odd jacks to m and the even jacks to l on the first motion and reserving this procedure in the third motion. Other effects in the nature of cross-net are shown between 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 8 and 9. These are also produced by moving certain jacks to l and others to m in predetermined cycles.

Abstract: 3361. Hands, C. H. Feb. 11. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery; clutches, claw.-Relates to claw clutches and to starting and stopping gearing for power presses &c., the parts being manually disengaged or automatically disengaged after one revolution. The wheel 25 carries a plate 27 provided with recesses 26 adapted to be engaged by a spring-pressed pawl 22 pivoted on a block 24 secured to the shaft 18. Pins 32, 33 on a stationary disk 17 engage a slot in a rocking plate 19, on which is pivoted a cam 20. A spring 29 is secured at one end to the disk 17 and at the other to a pin 31 passing through a slot in the plate 19 and secured to the cam 20. When the cam is depressed by means of a rod 37, the pawl 22 is released and engages the recesses 26 until the rod is released. In the disengaged position, a projection 36 on the pawl engages the pin 32 to stop the driven part positively. The cam 20 may be secured by a bolt 41 to the rocking plate 19, in which case depression of the rod 37 rotates the plate and releases the pawl 22, which is automatically disengaged at or near the end of one revolution whether the rod is released or not. If the rod is not released, the projection 36 will engage the fixed pin 33 on disengagement of the clutch. The plate 19 may be secured by a bolt 42 to the fixed disk 17 ; or it may be dispensed with and the cam 20 pivoted on the fixed disk.

Abstract: 17,701. Owen, A. G. July 30. Drawings to Specification. Embossing.-RepoussÚ work is produced in thin sheet metal such as copper &c. by rubbing it with wooden or similar tools into contact with a die of wood or similar relatively hard material, carved or otherwise formed to the design required either sunk or in relief or a combination of both styles. The sheet is fixed over the face of the die by pins if the die is of wood ; but if of harder material the die has lugs or projections to which the sheet is fastened by clips, clamps, &c. The roughins-tools are rounded and the finishing-tools pointed. The waste metal is cut off and the work may be replaced in the die for a final rubbing and then provided with a backing of glue, plaster of Paris, &c. Many different designs may thus be formed in succession in one piece of metal ; or each design or part thereof may be cut out from the sheet.

Abstract: 19,419. Br÷ker, H. Aug. 24. Gaseous-fuel furnaces.-In gas-retort furnaces having longitudinal superposed heating-flues in the side walls of the retorts a suitable arrangement of baffle walls and dampers is provided for regulating the escape of the products of combustion. As shown in Fig. 2, gas from a producer 1 is burnt with air from regenerators 6, and the products of combustion pass through the heating flues 14 and out over a vertical perforated baffle-wall 19. The lower flues 14 are controlled by independently-operated dampers 20, and the upper ones by a grid damper 16. The dampers 20 are perforated so that the passage of gases from the lower flues is not obstructed when one of the upper flues is closed. A perforated wall 10 is fitted so that the air supply is delivered in a number of stages. Observation openings 21 are provided for each of the heating-flues. To allow for the decreased heating effect of the gases the retorts are tapered, as seen in plan, towards their upper ends.

Abstract: 19,452. Bayer, R. Aug. 24. Two - strple - cycle engines; driving - gear. - The pistons of engines which compress in the front ends of their cylinders drive a central shaft through an inclined cam 13, as shown in the Figure. Air charges enter through ports 7 in stationary pistons 6, and are transferred to the cylinders through ports 8, 9 at the end of each out-stroke. The incoming charges, which facilitate the expulsion of the combustion products, are carburetted by fuel admitted through orifices, not shown, in the transfer ports 8, 9. Prior to entering the cylinders, the air may be compressed in the pistons 6 by the aid of pistons 17, which are driven from the main shaft through a cam 20 so arranged as to move the pistons 17 in the same direction as the working piston 8 until the closing of the air-inlet ports 7. The cam 13 is flattened at its lowest extremity to enable the pistons to dwell at the ends of their out-strokes.

Abstract: 10,284. Lea, T. April 27. Vibration -dampers. -Relates to shockabsorbers of the frictional type for vehicles, which will allow the body of the vehicle to move freely towards the axle but will check its upward rebound. According to the invention, a ratchet-wheel 11 fixed to the front plate of the casing is surrounded by a pawl ring 28 which, at its outer periphery, engages frictionally with a friction ring 29 secured to the back plate of the casing.
