Title: Improvements in Jacking off Engines for Use in Lace Making
Inventor: ATTENBOROUGH THOMAS
Filed: 1902-01-03
Granted: 1903-01-03
Abstract: 192. Attenborough, T. Jan. 3. Lace bobbins, jacking-off.-Relates to machines for use in jacking-off the bobbin used in lace making. The table top is inclined, and the driving- wheels B project through slots therein.

Title: Improvements in Furnace Grates.
Inventor: SEIDEL HERMANN
Filed: 1902-10-31
Granted: 1903-02-12
Abstract: 23,822. Seidel, H. Oct. 31. Firebars and grates.-The spaces between the firebars, or the aggregate of such spaces, are made narrow at the front, of gradually-increasing width towards the rear of the furnace, and of abruptly increasing width at the rear portion ; a uniform supply of air over the whole grate area is thus obtained. The bars are also constructed with deep cavities on both sides, separated by thin partitions, to promote the heating of the air and the cooling of the grate. In grates made up of several sets of bars, the intermediate transverse bearers are perforated, so as not to impede the flow of air towards the rear. Figs. 1, 3, and 4 show one form of bar, Fig. 3 being an enlarged section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 a plan of three bars side by side, showing the increased width of space at the rear. The deep side cavities are shown at d, and there are also grooves c. The webs are perforated at b. Fig. 7 shows a bar without the grooves c. Fig. 19 is a diagrammatic plan view of part of a grate with bars in separate lengths, and Fig. 22 is a similar view of such a grate in which the separate bars are of uniform width. The individual spaces between the bars in different sets may be of the same width, as indicated in Fig. 24, the bars of the rearward sets being thinner and more numerous, so that the aggregate width of the spaces between them is greater. The application to steam-boiler furnaces is mentioned.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Compressing and Controlling Apparatus.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1903-12-16
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 27,593. Boult, A. J., [Compton, M. D.]. Dec. 16. Compressing; storing under pressure. -Relates to gas-compressing apparatus actuated by hydraulic pressure, and also comprises means for supplying the gas at a uniform pressure. Water from a supply pipe 7 is alternately admitted and exhausted from the ends of the cylinder 1 to reciprocate the piston 1<a>. The gas passes from the meter or reservoir 12 along the pipe 11 and is compressed in the cylinder 2 by the piston 2<a>, which is connected to the rod 3 of the piston 1<a>. The admission and exhaust of the water and gas is controlled by fourway plug valves 5, 6, respectively, which are placed side by side, and the plugs of which are connected to a crank-arm 17. Springs 20, 21 are attached to the crank-arm 17, and to the ends of a sliding bar 19, which is reciprocated by an arm 18 attached to the piston-rod 3. The crank-arm 17 is normally engaged by one of the detents 22, 23, which are provided with springs and stops to keep them in position. The valves 5, 6 are automatically operated by the arm 18 striking the tail portion of the engaging-detent and releasing the crank-arm 17, which is pulled over by one of the springs 20, 21 and engaged by the other detent. After compression, the gas passes into the chamber 14, having an elastic diaphragm 24 which may be provided with a spring 25 held in position by an adjusting-screw 26. If the apparatus is not working, the gas is supplied to the delivery pipe 27 through a bye-pass 28, its pressure being great enough to raise the check valve 29, which is normally kept closed by the excess pressure in the chamber 14.

Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 28,149. Clements, G., and Hostler, J. M. Dec. 22. Dusters and dusting-appliances.- The shaft 6 of an ordinary vertical or other engine 7, supplied with steam from a boiler 8, carries two looselymounted sprockets which are respectively connected by chains to a sprocket 3 on the shaft of one of the traction wheels 2 of a platform 1 on which the engine &c. is carried, and a sprocket 16 mounted on a shaft 15 of a suction pump 14. Either of the sprockets may be secured on the shaft 6, by a sliding clutch which is feathered on the shaft and may be moved thereon by a lever 11, the lever being locked in any desired position. The lower of two cylindrical tanks 19, 20, mounted on standards 18, communicates through a pipe 21 with the pump 14, and is also provided with a drain pipe 22 normally closed by a valve. The upper tank 20, which is filled with water through a valved inlet pipe 26, communicates through a valved outlet pipe 27 and discharge pipe 28 with a chamber 24 arranged on the top of the tank 19. A pipe 25, to which hose of any desired length may be secured, opens into the side of the chamber 24. By throwing the clutch into engagement with the sprocket 5, the engine 7 drives the traction wheels 2 so that the machine may be moved to the place to be cleaned, after which the clutch is thrown into engagement with the other sprocket, thus setting the pump 14 in operation. The suction caused by the pump draws air and dust through the hose connected to the pipe 25 into the chamber 24, where water from a sprinkler attached to the discharge pipe 28 moistens the dust, so that it separates from the air and is deposited at the bottom of the tank 19.
