Title: Improvements in Small Induction Coils Worked from Street Electric Light Mains.
Inventor: MILLER LESLIE BRADLEY
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 22,317. Miller, L. B. Nov. 1. Switches.-The interrupter of a coil chiefly used for making ozone and worked from street mains consists of a broad spring making contact at one corner with an iron or like contact supported by a wire. The spring B is secured at one end by screws, and at one corner of the other end to a spiral spring C. A platinum or other contact D is fixed on the remaining corner above the core A, the other contact being a small iron cylinder E provided with a saw cut in which is fixed a piece of steel wire F. The end of the wire is bent and fastened by a screw to the brass spring G, one end of which is screwed to the box. Resistance may be inserted between the terminals R in series with the primary coil. In a modification, the flat spring G is replaced by a wire between two supports, or by a flat strip under torsion. A metal bar may be placed under the wire F to prevent the contact E from following the lower contact too far. The spring B may be made L-shaped with the core under the lower end. The interrupter may be placed in oil.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising Lowering, and Conveying or Transporting Loads.
Inventor: TEMPERLEY JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 24,355. Temperley, J., Temperley, J. R., and Alexander, W. Nov. 24. Cranes ; conveye r s; disengaging- couplings.-Relates to apparatus of the transporter t y p e described in Specification No. 21,170, A.D. 1892, and No. 14,720, A.D. 1897, in which a single rope is used for traversing the carriage and for raising the load, and consists in hinging the frame of the carriage to the w h e e l - carrying members by longitudinal pivots near the supporting- beam, and in means for effecting the locking and release of the carriage and its load. Fig. 1 shows one construction of carriage, the locking-mechanism being in position for traversing the carriage along the track. The side frames a of the carriage are pivoted on hinges b of the bars c suspended from the wheels d. The bell g for guiding the fallblock h into engagement with the supports k is pivoted to the plates a so as to allow longitudinal oscillations of the load. When the hoisting-rope passes around a pulley on the fall-block, the guidebell g is fixed directly to the carriage frame a. The hooks k are pivoted to vertically sliding links u, and have a pin-and-slot connexion with the bell ,g. As the load is raised, the block h engages the lower ends of the links u, and operates the catches k so that the load is sustained. At the same time, the horned lever 8 is disengaged from the notch in the beam by means of links and levers, one construction of which is shown in Fig. 1. The link u, when lifted, oscillates a pair of toggle arms 19, 20, which operate a pivoted lever 18 connected by a link to the horned lever 8. The carriage is.now traversed, say to the left, until another gap is reached, when the pawl 54 swings into the position shown in dotted lines, so that when the rope is slacked the horned lever is again turned into its engaging position. Instead of the double toggles shown in Fig. 1, the horned lever 8 may be connected to the sliding links u by means of a single vertical bar and toggle-levers. Other slightly modified forms of linkages are shown. In the construction shown in Fig. 16, the pivoted catches k are replaced by a pair of counterweighted hooks 44, adapted to be swung over and engaged by a pin 45 carried by the fall-block. The hooks may be connected to the horned lever 8 by any of the linkages previously described, or by a single link, as shown in Fig. 16. In other modifications, the hooks are connected by toggle-levers, or by slotted levers, with the horned catch 8.

Title: Improvements in Moulding and Pressing Machinery for Granulated or like Material.
Inventor: MIDDLETON ROBERT
Filed: 1906-03-15
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 6249. Middleton, R. March 15: Moulding fuel, ores, &c.-Machines of the hopper- and-plunger type are made multiple in their action and are arranged so that fresh charges are forced by the same stroke, after compression in rigid chambers into extrusion tubes F made in two sharp-edged parts F<1>, F' hinged to the chambers E in such a way that the hinge-pins G come over the lines of junction.

Patent GB-190606300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Regulation of Enclosed Arc Lamps.
Inventor: BROCKIE JAMES
Filed: 1906-03-15
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 6300. Brockie, J. March 15. Arc lamps having enclosed arcs, and regulated solely by series coils, are so constructed that when worked in series they feed independently without breaking the circuit or greatly reducing the current. Clutch lamps are described. A weight d, Fig. 1, connected by cords aud pulleys g, h to a dash-pot piston e or other brakecontrolled or free weight which nearly counterbalances it, rests on the upper carbon-holder b in each lamp, or on a pin projecting from the bolder. The inertia of the system of weights allows rapid feeding and retraction of the upper carbon c in one lamp to take place unhindered, while preventing simultaneous upward movement of the carbons in other lamps in the series. In order to assure complete descent of the upper carbon c in feeding, means may be provided to retard the re-engagement of the clutch with the carbon. In the construction shown in Fig. 1. the solenoid core k is connected to the piston l<1> of a dash-pot l, which retards the first part of the upward movement of the core, by means of an inwardly-opening valve or a hole m which is covered by the piston. The same object may be attained by using a carbon which tapers upwards, or has an inclined flat surface on one side, the clutch then having a straight edge ; or the ratchet-and-pawl clutch device shown in Fig. 2 may also be used. The sensitiveness of the mechanism when near the point of release of the carbon may be increased by providing a stop p of magnetic material for the solenoid core k. The latter should be arranged so that the pull upon it is fairly uniform throughout its normal stroke, and a spring stop q for limiting its upward movement is preferably provided.

Title: Manufacture of New Nitroaminophenolsulphonic Acids and Dyestuffs therefrom.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1906-05-12
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 11,196. Imray, 0., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Briining]. May 12. Nitroanxinoyhenol sulphonic acids ; oxazoles.- Certain o-aminophenol sulphonic acids in which the para position to the amino group is not substituted are converted into carbonyl [Á-oxyosazole] derivatives by the action of phosgene. The resulting bodies are nitrated, for example, by means of a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids, and the carbonic acid residue is eliminated by means of saponifying agents, such as caustic soda lye. In the above way are obtained the following new acids of the benzene series, viz. : (i.) [NH2 : OH : NO2 : SO3H =1 : 2 : 4 : 5] from [NH2: OH : SO3H=1 : 2 : 5] ; (ii.) [CH3 : OH : NH2 : SO3H : NO2 = 1 : 4 : 3 : 5 : 6J from [CH3 : OH NH2 ; SO3H = 1 : 4 : 3 : 5] ; (iii.) [Cl : OH NH2 : SO3H : NO2 =4 : 1 : 2 : 6 : 5] from [Cl : OH : NH2 : SO3H =4:1:2:6]; (iv.) [CH3 : OH : NH2 : SO3B : NO2 = 1 : 2 : 3 : 5 : 6] from [CH3 : OH : NH, : SO3H = 1 : 2 : 3 : 5] ; and (v.) [OH : Cl : NH2 : SO3H : NO2 =1:2:6 4 : 3] from [OH : Cl : NH2 : SO3H = 1 :2: 6 : 4]. The oxazoles obtained from the above initial products are crystalline bodies soluble in water, while the nitrooxazoles, which are precipitated as potassium salts by adding potassium chloride to the cooled nitrated mixture, are also crystalline and soluble in water. On saponifying the nitrooxazoles and acidifying, the now acids separate as crystals, which are soluble in water. Dyes, artificial.-The new acids when diazotized and coupled with #-naphtbol, dioxynaphthalenes, #-naphthylamine, aminonaphthols, and the sulphonic and . carboxylic acid derivatives thereof yield fast dye-stuffs, capable of being chromed. Lists of components for coupling with the diazo compounds of the new acids (i.)-(v.) are given, the following being mentioned : #-naphthol, #-naphthylamine, m-phenylenediamine, pyrazolone, aminonaphthol monosulphonic acids, [2 : 3 : 6 and 2 : 8 :6], dioxynaphthalene sulphonic acid, [2 : 3 :6], ocresotinic acid, 1 : 5 - dioxynaphthalene, and Schaeffer's acid.

Title: Improved Mechanism for Automatically Changing the Shuttle in a Loom when the Weft becomes Exhausted.
Inventor: ALSINA FERNANDO
Filed: 1907-09-02
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 19,627. Alsina, F. Sept. 2. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-When shuttlechanging is to occur, a shaft k, Fig. 4, is rocked from the weft-fork mechanism, so that a cam k<2> thereon rocks on a lever l against the action of its weight and a spring m, a lever q is raised, and a shaft o carried by the lay is turned. By lever mechanism p, r, r<1>, the walls r<2> of the shuttle box are raised. A cam k<1> on the shaft k raises an arm h against spring action. A stop i<2>, pressed on by the spring x and having a trunnion i<1> in bearings i secured to the lay, comes in contact with the tooth h<2> and on the beat-up actuates the arm h ; a lever e carried by links f on a shaft f<1> is rocked, and a slider c is reciprocated. The slider c carries a plate c' lined or padded with leather &c., which pushes a fresh shuttle into the shuttle box and the empty shuttle into the outlet passage u. A flat spring g<1>, connected by links g to the lever e, returns the slider c to a position limited by an adjustable bolt b<1>, so that the front wall c<2 >of the plate c' is exactly in line with the interior of the hopper. If there is great resistance to shuttle-changing, the stop i<2> overcomes the action of the spring x and does not operate the arm h. Loom shuttle boxes.-In an over-pick loom, crossbars r<3>, Fig. 5, connect the walls r<2> at their lower parts. The arm r', Fig. 4, and cross-bars r<3> are formed with two pieces connected by a bolt to regulate the distance apart of the walls r' of the shuttle box.
