Title: Improvements in Miners' Safety Lamps.
Inventor: HOWAT ANDREW
Filed: 1899-06-29
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 13,469. Howat, A. June 29. Miners' s a f e t y lamps. - To allow the use of paraffin and other volatile oils, the combustion chamber B is separated from the reservoir A by an air space. The wick-tube I extends nearly to the bottom of the reservoir, makes an airtight connection with the plate F, and is provided with a wick-raising pinion K protected by a casing N. The distancepieces G or their equivalents are designed to give the mmimum of heatconducting area consistent with the rigidity required, and the transmission of heat is also prevented by the use of non-conducting washers W, while any vapour generated in the reservoir A can escape freely through the tube S. According to the Provisional Specification, the regulation of the flame is effected by a sleeve, sliding on the upper end of the wick-tube, and actuated by a wire passing through a gas-tight tube.

Granted: 1901-02-16
Abstract: 4568. Miles, S. H., and Miles, W. H. March 10. Pottery.-Relates to the construction of a sprayproducer for paint, colour, glaze, or the like, for the use of artists, lithographers, photographers, painters, or for decorating ceramic ware and the like. The appliance is composed of the parts a, b, c, and d screwed or otherwise secured together. The receptacle b for the paint or glaze is in communication with a passage b<5> which conveys the paint to the nozzle a<2>. A hollow spindle i with tapered end is suitably mounted, and, under the action of the spring l, closes the opening in the nozzle a<2>. A lever f draws the spindle i backwards to open the nozzle. The spindle i is provide 1 with an opening i<2> through which enters a blast of air, the air being discharged at the tapered end. The blast of air from any suitable source enters the appliance through a valve chamber n in which is a valve kept closed by a spring and opened by the pressure of the tail of a lever f on the valve spindle. The blast partly issues from the nozzle through the spindle i, and part of it is conducted by a pipe o and issues from the nozzle around the paint-conducting tube b<5>. These two blasts draw the paint from the container b and disintegrate it in the form of spray when the lever f is operated by means of the thumb-plate g.

Abstract: 12,333. Major, J. May 31. Sifting and separating dried peas &c.-Relates to a machine to facilitate the picking or sorting of dried peas and the like by band. The peas are fed into a hopper a, the bottom of which is closed by a plate b, having a grid at c through which dust and other small impurities fall.

The peas fall from the plate b upon an endless cloth e travelling over the picking- table f. The peas picked out are thrown into the hopper j, while the sound peas are discharged into a sack or other receptacle l. The Specification describes an arrangement of friction and bevel gearing for driving the cloth e, provided with a clutch operated by the treadle t for throwing the mechanism out of gear.

Title: Improvements in the Means for Producing a Silk-like Gloss on Woven Fabrics.
Inventor: ECK JOSEPH
Filed: 1902-07-08
Granted: 1903-07-08
Abstract: 15,219. Eck, J. July 8. Embossing; embossing - rollers.-A silk-like appearance with a touch similar to velvet is imparted to woven fabrics by pressing them with rollers or plates having fine straight or curved grooves crossing each other on their surfaces, the effect being to produce on the fabric surface a series of raised particles forming independent reflectors. Two or more rollers or plates with the grooves arranged in different directions may act successively on the fabric, or two grooved rollers may be combined in a calendering machine so as to press the fabric against an elastic roller arranged between the two press rollers. Fig. 2 shows a portion of a roller surface magnified, A, B and C, D showing the sections of the small pyramids formed by the intersecting grooves. Irregular pyramids are produced by the intersection of unsymmetrical grooves. A negative design may be imparted to the roller surface by treating it with a die-plate grooved as described, or by engraving the negative forms on it.
Patent GB-190220290-A (GB)
Title: Method of and Means for Regulating the Heating of Cold Vapour Motors.
Inventor: WINDHAUSEN FRANZ
Filed: 1902-09-17
Granted: 1903-08-20
Abstract: 20,290. Windhausen, F. Sept. 17. Vapour engines.-Relates to methods of and means for controlling cold-vapour motors, in which the vapour is generated by the exhaust from steam engines or the like. The vapour employed may be generated from ammonia, sulphurous acid, carbonic acid, or the like. Fig. 1 shows a generator to which the exhaust or other steam is admitted by a pipe 4, and from which it flows by a pipe 5. The liquid enters by a pipe 1, and passes to the motor through a pipe 6. Variations in the amount of exhaust or other steam supplied cause variations in the pressure of the vapour, which act on a diaphragm d, and control the amount of cooling- water supplied through the valve h. The pressure of the vapour is thus kept substantially constant. In a modification, the pressure of the exhaust steam is used to operate the diaphragm and the controlling-valve. Instead of introducing cooling- water, a part of the exhaust steam may be allowed to escape into the atmosphere, or live steam may be supplied to supplement the exhaust steam. When the steam engine, supplying the exhaust, and the vapour motor drive dynamos, the variations in the currents generated may be used to control the generation of vapour, as shown in Fig. 5, for instance. The current from one dynamo flows round the coil o, and the current from the other flows round the coil p, which is oppositely wound. Variations in the currents cause movements of the core which controls the valve m, supplying live steam, and the valve h, supplying cooling-water. In a modification, the currents flow round curved solenoids o, p, Fig. 6, the cores of which are attached to the spindle of a rotary valve, or valves. The regulation may be effected by hand, instead of automatically as shown.

Title: Improvements in Flasks for Volatile and other Liquids
Inventor: GOETZ HENRI
Filed: 1902-12-01
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 26,461. Goetz, H. Dec. 1. Medicines, administering.-Relates to glass flasks for volatile or other liquids, and more particularly adapted for ethyl chloride or other volatile products for medical and industrial use. The flask a, Fig. 2, is made by blowing, and is formed or provided with a neck b having a narrow aperture. A copper collar d, fixed on the neck by cement e, is screw-threaded to receive the fitting f, which has a partition i adapted to bear on the rubber washer j. A copper tube k is inserted through corresponding apertures in the partition i and washer j into the neck b, where it is sealed by cement r, the tube being retained on the partition by its upper extremity, the edges of which are secured in any suitable manner. The glass capillary tube m is provided with a filtering-plug n of cottonwool &c., and is cemented in the upper end of the fitting f. A washer o is set in a groove in the fitting f, and forms a tight joint with the screw cap p. In a modification, in which the flask is not made by blowing and has a wider neck, the tube k is replaced by a tubular extension on the fitting f. In the form shown in Fig. 13, the capillary tube m is cemented in a separated piece s, which screws into the upper end of the fitting g, the flange t and a lead washer u forming a tight joint. The upper end x of the piece s is formed with an aperture in alignment with the capillary orifice of the tube m, this aperture being closed by the lead washer w and screw cap v, so that the washer does not come in contact with the capillary tube. These arrangements are designed to obviate difficulties arising from the capillary tube being obstructed by dirt &c., the fittings f, g being removable. In removing these fittings, the flange of the tube k is turned up and destroyed, in which case the cement r may be softened and a new tube inserted. In the modification above referred to, the cement may be softened previous to the removal of the fittings. The neck b may be straight or curved, or the vessel may be formed with two necks, one straight and one curved, or with two necks one of which is adapted to permit the vessel to be easily filled.
