Title: Improvements in Forming and Jointing Sheet Metal Structures.
Inventor: ROBERTSON ALEXANDER
Filed: 1898-01-18
Granted: 1899-01-18
Abstract: 1389. Robertson, A. Jan. 18. Stoves and fireplaces ovens; casings and linings.-Relates to the manufacture, and especially the jointing, of sheet-metal structures such as stoves. In making a stove oven, for example, the sides may be cut out in one sheet, which is punched and dished into the required form with ledges for the support of shelves. The ends X, Y of the sheet, shown in Figs. 11 and 14, have apertures G<1> cut out and the parts G' dished. The sheet is bent into the shape, bringing the ends together, and the dished parts on each side passed through the apertures in the other. A key or strip G<4> can then be run through the open space formed by the dished parts. Fig. 12 shows a corner joint secured by an angle-iron strip. The bottom and top are secured by tie-rods and nuts, rolled metal sections, nicked and then bent to the required shape, receiving in grooves the edges of the sheet-metal shell forming the hob and base. The joints may be covered with ornamental strips. In the form of joint shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the plates A' and B<1> have interlacing tongues A, B respectively bent at right-angles and, if desired, turned through slots A', B' and clinched, the tie-rod D passing through flanges at the top and bottom of an ornamental covering-strip C. The tongues may be bent round the rod D like the socketsof a hinge. Figs. 6 and 9 show other forms of joint, in which a tie-rod and covering-strips are not necessary. The ends A', B' of the sheets A', B' are bent or fluted so as to interlock, and a slight taper may be given, the parts being slipped into position endwise. The form of joint may be that shown in Figs. 15 and 16<A>, in which studs H<1>, I' are pressed out of the metal sheets or flanges H, I fitted into one another, and tapped flat with a hammer.

Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 1710. Teicher, C. F., and Runge, J. F. A. Jan. 21. Body motion, propelling by.-Bicycles are propelled by an up and down movement of the saddle, the rider resting his feet on foot-rests f secured by arms to the bottom bracket. The saddle pin c slides freely in the saddle post, its motion being limited by a pin d, secured to it and working in a slot formed in the saddle post. Rods g connect the pin d to wheels h placed one on each side of the bottom bracket. One of these is connected by a chain to the driving-wheel. A spring e lifts the saddle pin when the weight of the rider is removed. If desired, the saddle pin may be connected directly to the rear wheel.

Granted: 1899-02-11
Abstract: 5253. Richardson, S. T., and Price, R. March 3. Bending.-Wheel rims of trough or horse-shoe section, as shown in Fig. 8, are formed by first drawing a strip to the required section and then bending it to a circular shape in a tyre-bending machine of ordinary general arrangement but with specially-formed rolls. The outer rolls B are formed with a central flange e, Fig. 4, entering the trough of the rim, and milled to act as feeding-rolls by bearing on the part d<3>, Fig. 8, the flange also preventing the edges d<4>, d<5> from closing in. These edges are also guided by grooves f<1>. The adjustable roll A is grooved at a<1> to suit the curved part d<1> to which the spokes are attached. The rim is brazed together, and is specially suitable for elastic or air tube tyres.

Granted: 1900-09-08
Abstract: 23,335. Walsh, M. Nov. 22. Skewers for winding, doubling, and other machines, loom shuttles, &c. The appliance consists of two or more strips a of channelled steel, which at one or both ends are brazed or otherwise connected together or to a suitable ferrule. In Fig. 1, the appliance is shown in the form intended for insertion into the interior of a finished cop for the purpose of unwinding the yarn therefrom, the strips being brazed together at the end c and to a ferrule D at the other. When in use, the point ofthe spindle on which the appliance is placed presses against the strips and expands them against the interior of the cop. In Fig. 3, the strips are attached at both ends to ferrules c and D, and within the upper and larger ferrule D is placed a loose plug E having a central aperture to fit the point of the spindle. Projecting pieces e are secured to the interior of the strips to bear against the spindle. The appliance is placed on the spindle, and the cop wound thereon; it may, however, be removed from the cop, or the cop unwound from it. For unwinding purposes, the appliance is placed in a reverse position on the spindle or on to a second spindle. In a modification intended merely to receive the yarn as it is wound, the plug E is extended to near the centre of the skewer, and provided with an enlargement for the purpose of distending the strips a.

Motor road vehicles. - The axles A, A' of the wheels are carried in boxes B, B<2>, which slide in brackets C, C<2> attached directly to the body of the vehicle. The front axle A does not rotate, but carries on its ends vertically-pivoted heads, on which the wheels are mounted, and which can be operated for steering by means of levers 6. There is no connection between the front and rear wheels, except through the body of the vehicle. Springs, which are preferably of the form shown, are interposed between the boxes B, B<2> and the body. The brackets C, C<2> are braced together, in pairs, by the axles and by plates running across the vehicle. Each of the rear axle-boxes B<2> supports rigid arms 9 and 10, on the former of which is pivoted a brake F engaging with the inner face of the chain-wheel G. The arm 10 supports toggles, for applying the brake, which are operated by a lever 12 and rod 13. Each motor M, of which there are a pair in the case shown, is supported partly by the arm G and partly by the axle A<2>, which does not rotate. When a single motor is used, it is supported partly by the axle, (which in this case rotates), and partly by a rod connecting the arm G with the corresponding one at the opposite side of the vehicle. A ring, distinct from the chain-wheel, is used for the brake to act upon. The brake may be applied either inside or outside the ring.
