Patent GB-189905578-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rolling Mills.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1899-03-14
Granted: 1899-05-13
Abstract: 5578. Haddan, R., [Grey, H.]. March 14. Rolling.-A mill for rolling girders, columns, beams, and other structural work has three pairs of rolls, B<1>, B<2>, 2<1>, 1', 1, arranged in series, all the rolls being geared together and reversed when necessary. A pair of vertical rolls D, adjustable laterally, are mounted at the ends of the rolls B<1>, B<2> and roll the outsides of the flanges of the work C. These rolls are frictionally driven by surfaces B<3>, d, maintained in contact by rams E. The upper rolls are supported on rams l<3>, A<7>, and are adjusted by screws L<2>, 20, 30. The lower roll 1, which serves to determine the projection of the flanges below the web, is also adjustable vertically. The roll 2 determines the projection of the flanges above the web, the rolls 1<1>, 2<1> being bearing-rolls. The rolls B', B<2> reduce the web, and the rolls D reduce the thickness of the flanges. The gearing for adjusting the pass of each pair of the horizontal rolls is driven from two electromotors, through convenient clutches, the rolls 1, 1<1>, 2 being preferably moved at twice the rate of the roll B'. The rolls are first set so that the blank just passes through the rolls 1, 1', 2, 2<1>, but is reduced in the web by the rolls B<1>, B<2>. The rolls 2, 1<1> are then set to the level of the roll B' by operating all three simultaneously from one motor, which is then thrown out of gear and the clutches altered so that the second motor may adjust only the rolls 2, 1 to act on the flanges. The mill is then reversed, and the work returned. At the next pass, only the roll B' is lowered, and the fourth pass is effected under similar conditions to the second, the process being repeated till the blank is sufficiently rolled. Bottom and side guides may be provided between each pair of rolls. Top guides are also provided, mounted as shown in Fig. 6. A counterweighted lever T<2> on a bar 61 keeps the leading end of the guide in contact with the upper roll. The bar 61, which carries the guide, is attached to slides 67, guided on the housings G and operated simultaneously with the roll by worm and screw gearing 72 driven by chain and sprocket gearing 76 from the main feed-shaft M. If desired, the various rolls may be independently fed, the arrangement in either case allowing flanges of different widths to be rolled without changing the rolls.

Patent GB-189911857-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Locks Operated by Keys.
Inventor: JENTZSCH ROBERT BRUNO
Filed: 1899-06-07
Granted: 1900-06-02
Abstract: 11,857. Jentzsch, R. B. June 7. Locks, key.-Relates to a lock the bolt of which can be shot by any one of a number of keys, but can only be retracted by the key used to shoot it. Fig. 1 shows a form of the lock with levers b pivoted on a fixed pin and acting in conjunction with a stump c on the bolt a. When one of the keys is used to shoot the bolt, certain of the levers are lifted and others are allowed to remain down. The stump c accordingly passes into the slot b<1> in the lifted levers and over the ends of the others, so that, while a key that does not lift all the levers that have been operated on fails to release the bolt, a key with bits that act on any of the un-lifted levers cannot be turned. The stump d, which is close to the right-hand side of the keyhole when the bolt is shot, hinders the use of a picking-instrument to act on the levers. Fig. 3 shows a modified lock with the levers pivoted on the bolt and the stump c fixed. If an additional stump c' is employed, each lever is capable of three positions instead of two, so that more combinations are possible.

Title: Improvements in Skiving Machines for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: DORMAN WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1899-06-30
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 13,540. Dorman, W. H. June 30. Bevelling and skiving.-Relates to machines for skiving pasteboard, leatherboard, and the like which are used for stiffeners, waist pieces, &c., and consists in giving the knife a vibratory movement. Figs. 1 and 3 show respectively an elevation and a plan of a machine. The work is fed to the knife U by rollers I, J, the latter of which is adjusted by a screw R, while the former is pressed down. wards by a spring. The knife U is pivoted at k to a carrier Y, which can be rotated about a spindle W to adjust the inclination of the knife, the inclination being regulated by an arm Z pulled downward, by a spring. The spindle W rotates in a bearing X mounted on a pivot Y so that the edge of the knife can move up or down with the feed-roller I. The knife is vibrated about the pivot k by a rod jointed to a lever g which is rocked by a rod f engaging a sinuous or wavy cam d. A spring i holds the roll f in engagement with the cam. In a modification, the roll f moves in a cam-groove, while the knife U is moved to and fro transversely in guides in the holder Y instead of being rocked.

Title: Improvements in Systems of Electrical Distribution and in Cutouts therefor.
Filed: 1899-11-22
Granted: 1900-01-27
Abstract: 23,284. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Thomson, E.]. Nov. 22. Distributing; cut-outs.-Relates to arrangements for cutting out a transformer or other translating- device in which the insulation is imperfect. A cut-out arrangement is controlled by the leakage current. Fig. 1 shows the application to a transformer. The sheath 5 of the transformer 3 is connected to earth, and in this circuit is included a small transformer 6. The secondary of this transformer is formed in two sections, and connected at the extremities through spark-gaps 8, 8<a> with the mains 1, 2 and with a condenser 9. The middle point of the secondary is also connected with the middle point of the condenser. In case of leakage, the spark-gap is broken down, and a sufficiently heavy current flows to operate the thermal cut-outs 7, 7<a>. In modified arrangements, two transformers 6 are employed, the coils being arranged in series. The connection with earth may be made from the box containing the transformer &c., or from one of the conductors of the secondary system, instead of from parts of the translating-device.

Abstract: 16,357. Chester, E. D. Aug. 14. Tanks, particularly such as are intended for the cyanide or other solvent treatment of ores, are made up of parts which can readily be erected without the use of rivets. The tank is, preferably, circular, and the wall is built up of curved plates 1, which take into grooves 3 in standards 2, packing being inserted between the plate and the bottom of the groove. The floor or bottom 8 of the tank may be built up of wooden planks supported on joists, and near the edge it is rabbeted to receive the plates 1. The floor is received in jaws 5 on the standards, and a tight joint is ensured by wedges 11 driven in between the jaw and a metal ring 13, built up of overlapping segments and secured to the floor. Set-screws may replace the wedges. A pair of wedges are inserted through a slot in the top of each standard, and bear upon the upper corners of adjacent plates. The groove between the plates and the rabbet in the floor is caulked, and packing may be inserted therein. The tank is bound circumferentially by tie-bars 6, the ends of which pass through the standards and are secured by nuts, cottars, &c. Holding-down bolts 18 may also be provided. Each bolt has a hook at the top end to engage the plate, and at the bottom end it passes through the floor and is secured by a nut or cottar. The bottom of the tank is provided with the usual discharge doors.
