Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Axminster, Chenille, or like Carpets.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
Filed: 1898-09-19
Granted: 1899-07-22
Abstract: 19,798. Hollingworth, E. Sept. 19. Looms, pile-forming in; picking-motions.-In looms for Axminster, chenille, or fur pile carpets, the loom is put out of action after a given number of picks of jute &c. to allow the insertion of a pick of fur. For this purpose a loose bevel-wheel b on the cam shaft a is driven from the main driving-shaft d, and is fixed upon its own shaft as required by a sliding clutch e, f, operated by a lever g, which is moved in one direction by a spring j and in the other by a tappet i on a shaft k. The shaft k is driven by a star-wheel m from a pin l on the bevel-wheel b, and carries also a tappet s for operating a fork lever r against the action of a spring t. This fork lever r operates a clutch box q on the shaft o, and puts a clutch pin q<1> in and out of engagement with a spur-wheel n gearing with a pinion on the boss of the bevelwheel b. When the shaft o is rotated, it communicates motion, bv means of the crank u, connecting-rod u<1>, and other mechanism, to the ordinary band wheel for operating the endless band carrying the fur needle. When the fur pick has been inserted, the clutch pin q<1> is withdrawn, and the ordinary picking-motion again put into action. The shaft o is prevented from overrunning by a spring lever x, having a bowl x<2> to engage with recesses in a disc y'.

Title: The Manufacture or Production of New Imido Compounds containing Halogen.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1898-10-03
Granted: 1899-08-19
Abstract: 20,801. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 3. Antiseptics.-Halogen imides, which are antiseptics suitable for use in the treatment of skin diseases and the like, are produced by acting with halogens upon metallic salts of phthalimide, succinimide, o-sulphobenzoic imide, or the like. For example, phthalimide is dissolved in caustic soda or caustic potash solution, and the solution is poured into a mixture of bromide and water which is kept cold. The bromo-imide separates at once, and when purified by re crystallization from benzene it is a slightly yellowish crystalline powder. Chloro and iodo compounds are similarly produced, but in the latter case it is preferred to act in the presence of chlorine or bromine or to use compounds such as ICl, ICl3, or IBr3, instead of iodine itself, in order to prevent the formation of double compounds of the iodoimide and potassium iodide.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating Acetylene.
Inventor: LLORENS JOSE
Filed: 1899-10-10
Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 20,354. Llorens, J. Oct. 10. Acetylene.-Apparatus for generating acetylene by automatically regulating the supply of carbide. The carbide is contained in a bottomless carriage or box c, divided by vertical partitions into chambers 1 ... 7, and by a sliding horizontal partition d into upper and lower chambers. It runs on wheels o travelling over rails f. A band or strap e is secured to one end of the box, and passes around rollers g, g<1> to a weight p. The band forms a bottom to the box to support the carbide, and the weight tends to cause the box to travel in the direction indicated by the arrow. As each compartment passes beyond the roller g, the contents thereof are delivered down a shoot t, having an inclined lower end so as to discharge the carbide sideways into the water. This movement is caused to take place step by step by means of pins k on a hinged frame h, h<1>, engaging with a double pawl x<1>, x<11> carried by a frame z secured to the outside of the box c. The frame h, h<1> is connected by a cord l and adjustable bar q to the bell b<1> of the gas holder b, so that, each time the bell falls, the frame is pulled over and allows one compartment to deliver carbide to the generator. As the bell rises, the frame h, h<1> is drawn back into its place by springs m. When the lower compartments are emptied, the carriage is brought back to its original position and the slide d removed, whereby the contents of the upper compartments fall into the lower ones.

Granted: 1901-08-03
Abstract: 14,271. Gut, J. Aug. 9. Oscillating-vane type.-Relates to rotary liquid meters, motors, pumps, &c. A cylinder 2, closed at the ends, is made with double walls, so as to form an annular chamber 12 divided into two parts by a partition 3. Liquid is admitted to the upper part of the chamber by an inlet 5, and is expelled through an outlet 6 in the lower part of the chamber. A cylinder 4 is arranged concentric with the cylinder 2 to form a chamber 10, and is provided with four passages 7 arranged at the same height as ports 8 which communicate between the chambers 12 and 10. The chamber 10 is divided into two parts by a vertical partition 9, and in each of these parts is located a slide valve 11, having upper and lower apertures 13 to register with the passages 7 and ports 8, and also two passages 14, one of which may register with an upper port 8 and a lower passage 7, and the other with a lower port 8 and an upper passage 7. In operation, if the valves are in the positions shown in Fig. 7, the liquid passes by way of the upper valves and ports to the back of the lower valve, and operates the same, afterwards passing to the outlet. The lower valve in turn controls the supply for operating the upper valve, so that one valve controls the inlet and outlet for the other valve. The valves 11 can serve for operating the recording-mechanism of a meter, or as the motive part of a motor. By reversing the latter a pump is obtained.

Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 5780. Lake, H. H., [Grant, A. E.]. March 19. Ironing machines ; rollers or cylinders.-Relates to a machine for shaping folded collars. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the machine, Fig. 2 shows an elevation, Fig. 3 shows a vertical section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 shows a central vertical section of one of the cloth-covered rolls. The collar which has been ironed out flat in the usual manner is dampened by the application of moisture along the fold line on the inner side of the collar and is then loosely folded into V-shape and introduced into the open end of a heated trough formed by two curved plates 10, 11, one of which 10 is fixed to the other 11, is pivoted at 13, and is pressed forward by an adjustable spring 16. In the trough, the folded edge of the collar is forced down to the bottom of the trough by the arm 23, and the heat from the burner 19 causes the moisture to be converted into steam, which penetrates the plies of the collar. The inner end of the trough is curved so as gradually to bend the collar, which then passes round a rotary hollow shaping-roll 3 heated internally by a burner 5, the collar being pressed against the roll 3 by two rotary cloth-covered rolls 6, 7. The collar is then delivered on to a conical guide 30, which causes it to traverse a spiral path upwardly over the guideplate 31 where it is removed by the operator. The presser rolls, Fig. 4, comprise each a core 26, upon which the fabric 27 is wound, the edges of the fabric being introverted upon the ends of the core and clamped thereon by a screw ring or nut 28 so as to secure them in place without sewing.
