Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Nets

Filed: 1901-06-27
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 13,130. Pihl, W. R., and Olsen, A. June 27. Net-making. - Relates to a machine for making fishing &c. nets. The warps r pass round a roller 1, then round a tension rod 2 capable of motion from front to back of the e machine, then through a hole in a bar 3 capable of up- and-down, rocking, and longitudinal motion, then between a concave bar 4 and a friction roller 5 pressed together by springs or weights, and then backwards and downwards to the takeup roller. The shuttle thread s stretches from between the bar 4 and roller 5 to a shuttle contained in a shuttle box guided by annular grooves in rollers 7, 8 capable of limited rotary motion in a carriage, which can be moved from front to back of the machine and carries a pusher bar 19. A loop-forming hook 16 is carried on a bar 15 capable of a rocking, up-and-down, and longitudinal motion. In forming a knot, the hook 16 descends below the shuttle thread, moves to the right, as shown in Fig. 1, then rocks upwards until the hook is above the shuttle thread, as shown in Fig. 2, then moves to the left, and rocks down, so forming a loop as shown in Fig. 4. In the meantime, the bar 3 rises and holds the warp vertically behind the loop. A hook 17 on a bar 18 then rises, passes through the loop, seizes the warp, and draws a loop of warp through the shuttlethread loop and descends to the position shown in Fig. 7. The shuttle carriage then moves forward, and the bar 19 disengages the warp loop from the hook 17. The tension bar 2 then moves back, and draws the warp loop round the shuttle box. The bight of the warp loop enters notches 11, 12 in the ribs on the rollers 7, 8, and the rollers rotate sufficiently to carry the loop along the parts of the shuttle box which bear on the rollers. The hook 16 then disengages from the shuttle loop, and the bar 3 descends to the position shown in Fig. 11, so that the loop can be tightened whilst the threads r, s are nearly in line. In making the next mesh, the warp r is presented to the adjacent shuttle loop.

Abstract: 14,993. Toobe, H. L. B. July 23. Lithographic and like printing.-Relates to the preparation of plates of aluminium or zinc, or alloys thereof, for lithographic or other printing. For lithographic printing, the plate is first washed with a solution of nitroso-nitric oxide, then with distilled water, and then with a mixture of dis tilled water, sulphate of aluminium and ammonium, oxide of calcium, sulphate of zinc or aluminium, nitroso-nitric oxide, and hydrofluoric acid. If for crayon drawings, the plate is grained by sand blast before treating with the last mixture. After the drawing or design is on the plate, it is treated with an etching-solution of phosphoric acid, chromic acid, tannic acid, and carbolic, acid in water, mixed with gum arabic. When it is desired to obtain a higher relief for lithographic or letterpress printing, the drawing on the plate, before etching, is washed off with a mixture of asphaltum and turpentine, rolled up strong in ink, and dusted with resin. To prepare the plates for a new drawing, the ink and colour are removed with turpentine ; the plate is then washed with oxide of potassium, and then treated with the bath first described,

Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 17,888. Deam, J. Sept. 7. Pistons; valves, distributing.-Relates mainly to engine pistons and piston valves and to pump buckets, the object being to provide an adjustable packing free from liability to excessive friction owing to steam getting behind the rings. The piston block B, as shown in Fig. 1, is made conical, and the split packing-rings E are fitted to it closely. On each side of the rings are placed thin packing-washers or liners D between which the rings are gripped firmly when the junk-ring F is screwed up. To adjust the packing to fit the cylinder, one of the thin liners D at the larger part of the conical piston block is removed, and the junk-ring again screwed up tightly. The invention is also shown applied to a piston valve, which is made in two parts so that the liner removed at one end may be placed in the middle so as to preserve the lap unaltered. In modifications, the piston body may be parallel, and the conical form be produced by loose rings.
