Patent GB-190310941-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Rubbered Cords.
Inventor: GRAY CHRISTIAN HAMILTON
Filed: 1903-05-13
Granted: 1904-05-12
Abstract: 10,941. Gray, C. H., and Sloper, T. May 13. Cords.-Rubbered cords are made by compressing a number of unvulcanized threads or units, which have been previously coated in any convenient manner and allowed to dry, by passing them through a suitable die or equivalent. The cords may be spirally wound externally with a thread, preferably while under tension just after leaving the die ; this keeps them from expanding and produces smaller and more homogeneous cords, as described in Specification No. 26,183, A.D. 1902 ; or they may be twisted, in any well-known way, either before or after passing through the die, and two or more such cords may be cabled together in a similar way. The opening in the die may be of any desired cross-section, preferably having a bell mouth ; a small rubber cord may be fed into the centre of the die to form a core to which the threads would be attached and round which they might afterwards be twisted. Cords may also be formed from strips of the well-known fabric used in the manufacture of pneumatic tyres, composed of a number of parallel threads embedded in or solutioned together by india-rubber, by forming them into circular or other shapes by drawing through a die or series of dies in an unvulcanized state, and such cords may be twisted or cabled together, as described above.

Title: Improvements in Armature Coils for Dynamo-electric Machines.
Filed: 1903-06-30
Granted: 1904-04-14
Abstract: 14,539. British Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., [Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co.]. June 30. Armatures.-Form-wound separable armature coils, of the type in which both sides of the coils are equidistant from the armature shaft, have their end portions joined by short backward and inward bends to one of the sides, so that the outer conductor of each side becomes the inner conductor of the corresponding end. Fig. 1 shows a coil, unwrapped, having three separate-grouped conductors, and Figs. 2 and 4 show similar coils as arranged on the armature of a four-pole machine. Each coil has straight radial portions 1, 2 of the depth of the armature slots, flat-curved portions 4, and helical or like portions 3. The outer conductor 6 of the portions 1, 2 becomes the inner conductor of the portions 4. The portions 4 make an obtuse angle with the portions 1, 2, and are connected to the portions 2 by bends 7 as shown. They are usually longer than the portions 3. In cases where the distance between the armature slots is less than their depth, some of the coils of the bends 7 are superposed. This arrangement is usually unnecessary at the commutator end of the coil, owing to the leads going to the commutator. These leads leave the inner edge of one side of the coil and the outer edge of the other side, thereby facilitating their connection to the commutator. The coils are arranged in the armature slots with the portion 1 of one coil alongside the portion 2 of another.

Abstract: 15,201. James, R. W., [Wyckoff, Seamans, & Benedict]. July 24. Typewriters.-Relates to. means for obtaining a condensed record, of a number of bills written successively on the machine. The platen 2 is provided at one end with the usual line-spacing wheel 3, actuated by a pawl 4 which is pivoted to a lever 6 provided with a hand-lever 8. A tail 9 on the pawl co-operates with different contact-faces on a device 10, whereby the spacing may be varied. On the other end of the platen shaft are fixed a finger-wheel 12 and a sleeve 13 on which is loosely mounted an indicating-disk 15. A peripheral groove in the sleeve 13 is engaged by a bifurcated plate 18, one end 19 of which presses the disk 15 against the finger-wheel 12. The other end of the plate 18 has an extension 21 which extends over and embraces the rim of the disk 15. The disk 15 and plate 18 normally turn with the platen, but either of them can be moved relatively thereto. A projection 24 on the plate 18 is adapted to be engaged by a fixed stop 25 on the frame. The periphery of the disk 15 is provided with numerals or other indices corresponding in number with the teeth of the linespacing ratchet. The disk 15 is set so that the number 1 appears opposite the fixed stop 25. A bill-head is inserted in the machine and the platen is rotated until the first line of writing on the bill reaches the printing point. The plate 18 is then rotated relatively to the disk 15 until the part 21 meets, stop 25, The platen is then turned back for a few spaces and the carbon and record sheet are inserted in the machine. The platen is then rotated forwards until the projection 21 again meets the stop 25, and the bill is then written. During the writing, the disk 15 and plate 18 remain stationary, and when a bill is finished the platen is turned back until the number 1 is opposite the stop 25, another bill is inserted, and the projection 21 again brought up to the stop 25. The bills are thus printed in close succession on the record sheet, a new record sheet being inserted when the previous one is full.

Title: Improvements in Dipping Devices for Automatic Match Making Machines.
Inventor: CZERWENY FRANZ
Filed: 1905-11-30
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 24,866. Czerweny, F. Nov. 30. . Matches, making. In an automatic match-making machine, the splints are brought intermittently over a dipping-bar, which reciprocates in and out of a trough containing the igniting-composition. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the machine, showing the dipping-trough d. The splint carriers T, moving in guides T<1>, are brought in batches intermittently over this trough by the mechanism shown in Fig. 5, which is a part side view of the machine. As each batch of carriers comes over the trough and becomes stationary, the dipping-bar f, which has a shallow depression on its upper surface, rises and applies the igniting-composition to the ends of the splints ; the carriers and dipping-bar remain stationary for as long as is required to form a good head, and then the dipping-bar is lowered and the carriers are pushed away from the trough by the next batch, arriving. Beyond the dipping-trough, means are provided for restoring the carriers to their original speed. The ends e of the dipping-bar are bent up over the ends of the trough, and carry bearing-pins i which engage in the grooves of the cams h. These cams are carried by the actuating- shaft a, which is mounted on the trough itself and is driven through the loose coupling c, so that the whole dipping-apparatus can be removed laterally from the rest of the machine. A stroking-bar k, set up on edge, is provided for levelling the composition on the dipping-bar. This stroking-bar moves in horizontal adjustable guides l and is caused to sweep over the dipping-bar before and after the latter is at the top of its stroke ; the required motion may be obtained from cams mounted on the shaft a and acting on the stroking-bar through a system of levers. A metal scraper may be mounted above the stroking-bar to remove any fallen matches or drops of composition. A thorough mixing of the composition may be effected by revolving blades, driven by gearing from the shaft a. The mechanism for giving the carriers an intermittent motion over the trough and afterwards restoring them to their original speed consists of pawls v, w, Fig. 5, which are made to reciprocate by a rocking lever u actuated by a cam t on the toothed wheel s.
