Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for the Manufacture of Blasting and like Metal Cartridge Cases Sleeves or Explosive Charge Holders.
Inventor: TIRMANN HANS
Filed: 1901-06-19
Granted: 1901-12-31
Abstract: 12,513. Tirmann, H., and Tirmann, H. June 19. Casting.-Relates to a machine for casting the metal cases of blasting-cartridges, explosive charge holders for mining, &c. The mould consists of two parts v, w, the part v being carried by a lever h, pivoted at Z on a slide u carrying the part w. The partition x<1>, Figs. 3 and 4, to be formed in the case is produced by two cores, slightly separated, one core 13 being carried by a plate 9, supported on studs 15 on a vessel m and pressed forward by springs, the other core forming the end of a mandrel p sliding in a guide on the slide u. Two side shafts are mounted on adjacent sides of the frame, being geared together and provided with cranks to operate the parts as hereinafter described. When the parts are in the position shown, an eccentric on the side shaft b operates a piston to discharge molten metal from the vessel m through a funnel o into the mould, cooled by pipes 10. A crank on the second side shaft then relieves the end pressure on the mandrel p exerted through a spring, allowing it to be turned and slightly withdrawn by a lever e feathered on the mandrel and co-acting with a stationary face cam t, the lever e being operated by a link d and crank 2. The lever h is then operated by a crank 3 to open the mould, while the mandrel, and subsequently the slide u, are drawn back by the action of the crank on the second side shaft, the case falling through an opening 18. The parts are then returned to their original positions for the next casting. The fin y formed on the case is subsequently removed.

Title: Improvements in Yarn Winding Machines.
Inventor: GOLLAND HENRY STAFFORD
Filed: 1901-10-30
Granted: 1902-01-23
Abstract: 21,788. Golland, H. S. Oct. 30. Winding-machines.-Relates to improvements on the inventions described in Specifications No. 21,992, A.D. 1896, and No. 26,574, A.D. 1898. The spindle carriage is lowered continuously during the winding operation by means of a vertical screw 7, which is driven by worm gearing from the shaft j connected with the main driving-shaft a. A half nut 10 is pressed by a spring against the screw 7, and can be withdrawn for re-setting the spindle carriage by a handle 60. The cone cam p for traversing the thread-guide, and the spindle q are driven, respectively, by bands r, s from a double grooved pulley on the shaft a, which is connected with the shaft by a clutch. The worm z of the gearing for driving the screw 7 is also connected with its shaft by a clutch, and the two clutches are aranged to be placed in and out of gear simultaneously by means of springs and a sliding spring rod 17 having wedge-shaped forks at its ends engaging with the clutches. Normally, the forked rod is held out of operation against the action of its spring by reason of a projection 24 on the lever 25 engaging with a projection 23 on one of the forks. When, however, the catch lever is disengaged on the breakage of a thread or the completion of a set of cops, the rod 17 is moved longitudinally so as to disengage both clutches, and the rotation of the cone cam and spindle and the descent of the spindle carriage are stopped simultaneously. The parts are re-started after piecing-up by means of a treadle 47, which is connected by a link 48, lever 49, and a second link 50 with the sliding rod 17. The thread is passed through a guide 41, over a tension board 43, through the eye 38 of a detector wire, over a glass rod situated above the parts shown, downwards through a guide 45, and so to the reciprocating guide 46. The detector wire 38 is normally held out of range of a reciprocating cam 35, which is operated by a crank and slotted lever 29 from an eccentric pin on the pulley p, the lever 29 being connected by a rod 28 with the catch lever 25. When a thread breaks and the detector wire falls, the cam 38 is blocked, and the slotted lever 29 rides upwards on the stationary crank-pin 32, whereby the catch lever 25 is raised and the clutches disengaged as above described by the spring rod 17. For stopping the parts when the cops have attained the desired size, a projection 59 on the crank-pin 32 is caused to be blocked by an adjustable projection 58 on the descending shaper plate 52.

Title: A Non-explosive & Non-inflammable Photographic Film.
Inventor: FRY STEPHEN GEORGE
Filed: 1902-06-05
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 12,818. Fry, S. G. June 5. Sensitized films.-Relates to a non-explosive and non-inflammable film consisting, in one form, of gelatine emulsion which is coated on to a support of paper or the like varnished with collodion. After printing, the gelatine may be squeezed on to a glass or other support, and allowed to dry. The paper is then detached by dissolving the collodion in methylated spirit. A double transfer may be effected by using gummed paper as an intermediate support. In another form, for negative purposes, a more or less thick coating is applied to the paper varnished with collodion, and this film is hardened with formalin and coated with sensitive emulsion. These films are then stripped from the paper support, and may be used for biographs or the like.
