Abstract: 346. Broughton, B., and Brigrht, J. B. Jan. 5. Runners; top-notches; joints; open-caps.-The ribs and stretchers of umbrellas, parasols, &c. are jointed to the top-notch and runner and tc one another by ball or pin and socket joints. The top-notch, Fig. 2, has an annular recess f, forming sockets for the spherical or similarly-shaped ends of the ribs, the necks of which work in slots g. The ends are maintained in place by a plate i, having a square central hole to pass over a square extension f<1> on the top-notch, the plate being then slightly turned in a groove and secured by a screw j. In the form shown in Fig. 14, the ends have laterally-extending pins q, and are secured in place in an annular recess r by a bevelled ring s. Similar forms are used for the runner. The gits b<1>, Fig. 8, are formed with cup-shaped ends, and are bent round the rib b to form a socket for the end e of the stretcher. A screw-threaded ring u, Fig. 2, is secured to the stick above the top-notch to receive the open-cap. The runner is prevented from rotating on the stick by one or more feathers on the stick engaging one or more longitudinal grooves in the runner. The Provisional Specification states that the runner may be held in the open or closed position by a button screw on it engaging with the stick.
Patent GB-189702604-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Locks.
Inventor: RALLS JAMES CHARLES
Filed: 1897-02-01
Granted: 1898-02-01
Abstract: 2604. Ralls, J. C. Feb. 1. Locks, key.-Relates to locking- mechanism for door, drawer, desk, safe, trunk, box, portmanteau, &c. locks, of the type described in Specification No. 27,133, A.D. 1896. The levers or tumblers are maintained in frictional contact with each other, and are directly moved by the nibs of the key, the use of springs being, in general, dispensed with. The lever or tumbler plates have rectangular apertures of different widths, with which the nibs engage. By turning the key, a number of slots in the plates are brought into register, allowing a lug on the lock bolt to enter them, the bolt also being operated by the key similarly to the plates, to unlock the lock. Consecutive plates may be moved in opposite directions by providing the key with oppositely-placed bits. When the bolt is shot the plate notches are moved out of register by the key nibs. The plates may be pivoted or slide longitudinally. In forms where consecutive plates do not move in opposite directions, washers may be inserted to prevent frictional displacement. In a hasp lock, Fig. 5, the bolt D is pivoted at D', and a lug d on it is moved into slots in the plates A when brought into register by the key. This causes a lug E to be disengaged from one eye of the hasp, and simultaneously a hook F pivoted to the bolt is disengaged from the other. A similar form may be applied to padlocks, or a spring bolt D, Fig. 8, may be used which can be depressed by a button E, when the plates A are moved to bring the lug d and notches a into register, releasing the shackle. By allowing the plate to remain in register, the padlock may be used as a spring lock. Fig. 18 shows a night-latch, the plates A being pivoted, and the spring bolt D being operated from the outside by a key through a follower M' and crank lever plate M operated by the key. This form may be adapted to be opened by a key from either side by forming the follower M<1> as a bolt. Fig. 15 shows a safe lock, in which the plates A communicate motion to discs A<1> bringing notches a into register with bolt lugs d allowing the latter to be retracted by outside handles. Various slight modifications are described and illustrated in the Specification. Any of the forms may be made to operate at both ends by suitable means, for enabling a drawer to be locked at the top and bottom, or for similar purposes. The Provisional Specification states that the plates may be made to move with sufficient friction by turning over the sides of one to bear on the adjoining one.

Patent GB-189905178-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Automatically Gathering and Delivering Glass in Manufacturing Glassware.
Inventor: ALTENBAUGH WILLIAM FRANCIS
Filed: 1899-03-09
Granted: 1899-07-08
Abstract: 5178. Altenbaugh, W. F. March 9. Delivering molten metal; blowing.- Relates to machines for gathering glass by a skimming process on the end of a gathering-iron or blow-iron according as the article is to be produced in a press mould or by blowing. The gathering-iron or blow-iron 84 is supported on a carriage 3, which is reciprocated by means of a crank 25 and connecting-rod 27. The carriage is arranged to approach rapidly the chamber 2 which contains the molten glass. The gathering-iron, which has been slowly rotating, is then lowered so as to skim along the surface, and at this moment the speed of the carriage is reduced, while the speed of rotation of the gathering-iron is increased. At the end of the stroke of the carriage the gathering-iron is lifted, and during its return stroke the carriage travels at high speed, while the gathering-iron rotates slowly. The gathering-irons, of which two are mounted on each carriage, turn outwards as the carriage moves back, and when it comes to rest at the limit of its stroke through the disengagement of a clutch, the gathering-iron comes over the press-mould, and is given a downward jerk to discharge the glass. When a blow-iron is in use, it is brought above a table provided with a number of forming-blocks of different sizes, into which the glass is rolled in the operation of blowing. At the moment that a blow-iron is removed from the machine another 85 may be dropped into place from between the supports 87. 88. The gathering-iron or blow-iron is held at one end in a chuck 12, Fig. 3, and is supported at d on friction rollers. The chucks are rotated by means of the bevel-pinion 23 on the splined shaft 24, bevel-wheel 22, gear-wheels 20, flexible shafts 17, and gear-wheels 15, 14. Air can be supplied from a mouthpiece to the blow-iron through a flexible branch-tube 96, Fig. 3. The rise and fall of the gathering-iron are controlled by a track 60, on which the wheel 61 travels as the iron swings outwards or inwards by the turning of the brackets 9 with their supporting-tables 8. The final drop into the glass is produced by the dipping of a movable part of the track through the action of the incline 73 on the lever 71 against the control of the spring 65. The variable speed of the crank 25 is produced by the operation of a clutch actuated by means of cam surfaces 39, 55 on the crank, and serving to drive the main shaft 31 from either a fast or slow speed pulley. The variable speed of the shaft 24 and the gathering-iron is produced by the action of the same cam surfaces on a lever 40 which throws one or other of two gears into action. The machine comes to rest at the end of the backward stroke of the carriage, and is re-started by hand, but when using a blow-iron the cam surfaces are arranged to throw the shaft 24 in gear at high speed while the carriage is brought to rest, the blowing operation being effected without removing the blow-iron from the machine.
