Patent GB-190419532-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in appertaining to Cap and Ring Spinning Machines.
Inventor: SHARP STEPHEN
Filed: 1904-09-10
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 19,532. Sharp, S. Sept. 10. Spindle apparatus. - The tubes which carry the bobbins and spools in cap and ring spinning- machines, are joined to their wharls so that they rotate more freely and with less vibration, and the bearings of the w harls are made to insure thorough lubrication and to prevent " fly " from accumulating therein. The tube d has notches f and an annular flange c which, when entered into the wharl a is prevented from being withdrawn in one direction by an internal flange b. A bush h, which is a tight fit in the wharl a and has projections g corresponding to the notches f, is then driven into the opening of the wharl a. These projections g and notches f are made slightly longer than the width of the flange c, so that the projections g bear against the internal flange b, thus securing a good joint and allowing the tube to have a slight lateral play. The lower end of the wharl a has an annular recess k which fits over the part m of a hard-wood washer p, in which is a recess s containing felt, which is supplied with oil through a hole t.

Title: An Improved Method and Means for using Coal Gas as a Heating Agent in Stoves, Fireplaces and the like.
Inventor: NOAD JAMES
Filed: 1904-09-12
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 19,625. Noad, J., and Bell, F. H. A. Sept. 12. Combined gas and coal &c. stoves. - Consists in burning coal gas in conjunction with solid fuel by causing the flames from atmospheric burners to play on the surfaces of slabs or layers of the solid fuel, which is slowly consumed. Fig. 2 shows the invention as adapted for an open fireplace, the slabs a being supported in a shell c, c<1> behind horizontal burner tubes b connecting pivoted vertical tubes b<2>. The gas jets form rings of flame, which prevent the emission of unburnt gases from the slabs a. Fig. 5 shows the arrangement for heating a baker's oven, the solid fuel, which may be loose when burned in the horizontal trays e, being heated by gas burners b. Similar means are used for heating domestic ovens and frying-ranges. The slabs may be made of crushed and compressed peat carbons, coke, coal, &c., mixed, if desired, with pitch or the like.

Granted: 1905-11-10
Abstract: 21,798. Woerner, R. Oct. 10. Cigars.-A machine for pressing cigars in quantity is constructed with a series of parallel plates c, Fig. 2, carried at each end by lazy-tongs 1, which are contracted, to compress the cigars between the plates, by the rotation of a screw k engaging a nut in a cross-bar f linked by rods e to a bar d below the lower plate. The cigars are compressed laterally by bars b carried by uprights o, which are actuated by right and left handed screwed rods p, q geared together by a chain u and sprocket-wheels and operated by a lever r. Adjustable stops may be provided to limit the compression. These consist of screws x, Fig. 5, screwed into the enlarged ends of the plates c and adjusted simultaneously by the rotation of a square rod o passing through a square hole in the screws. The vertical and lateral compression may be made to occur simultaneously by coupling the hand-wheel n for rotating the screw l with the lever r. The packets of cigars to be compressed are arranged in boxes provided with side walls which permit of displacement in the required directions.

Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 21,120. Hackett, C. J. Nov. 20. Photo - mechanical printing.-The grained or polished lithographic stone, zinc plate, &c. is brushed over with benzoline, and a solution consisting of turpentine, black enameloid, oil of spike lavender, and methylated spirit is then applied. The surface of the plate, after being warmed, is then coated with an emulsion consisting of gelatin or albumen, bichromate or ammoniated bichromate of potash, white shellac, borax, and lime water. The film after having been exposed beneath the design to be reproduced is rinsed in cold water and the unaffected portion of the film removed by a brush. The film is then treated with boiling water, dried, and rolled up with black printing and transfer ink which adheres to the clear stone. The ink is then removed by means of a solution of camphor and resin in methylated spirit with the addition of a small quantity of the above turpentine solution, and the stone is then rubbed smooth. The parts of the stone not required are then cleared with gum and whitening and the plate etched, inked, and printed from in the usual manner, the gelatin remaining embedded in the surface acting as the ink-repellent.

Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 4359. Jones, R. L., and Saxton, J. Feb. 22. Corking.-Relates to a machine for simultaneously corking g and labelling bottles. The bottle is placed upon the rest 25 and d depressed, causing the end 42 of a weighted bell-crank lever 38, 39, pivoted at 36 to the bottle-rest stem 26, to strike part t of the frame 1 and rotate, thus bringing a gum brush 40, attached to the upper end of the resilient arm 39, away from the gum reservoir 43 across the face of the bottle. The reservoir 43 consists of a perforated gum vessel, covered with felt. The rest 25 having been raised so as to bring the neck into contact with the cork tube 11, the hand-lever 7 is depressed. This lowers a cam-plate 2, to which the plunger 9 is attached, and so drives the cork. The labels are contained in a magazine 13, sliding in guides 16 and provided with an internal sliding block 20, connected by a spring 19 with a roller 22, which works in a camslot 4. On the descent of the plate 2, the cam 4 presses the magazine 13 forward against the gummed surface of the bottle and withdraws it immediately. The gum is distributed evenly by rollers 45, which are carried by levers 46, pivoted at p to the magazine 13, and are pressed apart by the bottle. They are returned to their former position by a cam 48 when the magazine 13 is drawn back. When the hand-lever 7 rises under the influence of the weight w, the. magazine is again pressed forward and withdrawn, so that the rollers 45 press the attached label into close contact with the bottle.

Abstract: 22,202. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Oct. 8. Anthrachrysone derivatives.-Anthrachrysone is condensed with two molecular proportions of formaldehyde in alkaline solution. The new product is an orange-yellow powder, almost insoluble in the usual solvents, but soluble to an orangeyellow solution in dilute caustic alkali, and to a red solution in concentrated sulphuric acid. New nitrogenous derivatives of the anthraquinone series are obtained by treating the above bodies with ammonia, or with fatty or aromatic amines, such as methyl- or ethyl-amine, dimethyl- or diethylamine, aniline, o-, m-, o rp-toluidine, xylidine, monomethyl- or ethyl-aniline, or dimethyl- or ethylaniline, either separately or mixed. The same nitrogenous bodies are also obtained by (1) the simultaneous action of formaldehyde and an amine upon anthrachrysone, and (2) the action upon anthrachrysone of the condensation products of primary or secondary amines with formaldehydes. Examples are given in illustration of each method. The nitrogenous bodies are crystalline and have a basic and acid character. They are little soluble in the usual solvents, but are soluble in dilute mineral acids and in dilute caustic alkali.
