Title: Electric Heat Alarm Apparatus.
Inventor: MOORES JOHN
Filed: 1906-06-15
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 13,739. Moores, J. June 15. Heating of bearings, indicating. -Relates to a heat alarm operating by the melting of a fusible plug and the consequent fall of a piston carrying two contacts. Two metal contacts E, F pass through a piston C which is made of some e insulating-material. The piston is attached to a spindle D which rests upon a door B when the latter is closed. The door is kept in the closed position by a fusible plug inserted in the space J. A cap G has a hole in the top through which wires are passed to the contacts E, F, this cap being packed with some material to prevent moisture from entering. When the article to which the alarm is attached, such as a shaft bearing or axle-box, becomes heated to the melting-point of the fusible alloy, the door opens and the contacts are forced down upon the metal casing X by a spring and so complete the circuit. The spring X is separated from the contacts E, F by an insulating-washer H.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Machines for Manufacturing Glass Bottles.
Filed: 1906-06-28
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 14,761. Simpson, T. W., and Lumb & Co., J. June 28. Bottle necks, making.-Relates to a machine for forming bottle necks with an internal groove. The frame 2 supports a shaft 3, driven continuously by a belt &c., and carrying two grooved toothed wheels 6, 5, the former of which is secured to the shaft 3 while the latter is driven at a lower speed through reducing-gear 7. Mounted so as to rotate freely on the shaft 3 is a carrier, consisting of two plates 9 notched at 12 and connected rigidly together by rods 10. A spring catch 16 holds the carrier 9 in successive positions by engaging notches 17. The bottle is placed in a bolder 13 fitted to a rod 14, which is then placed in the notches 12 so that a pinion 15 on it engages the toothed wheel 5. A ring on the pinion 15 enters the groove of the wheel 5 and prevents longitudinal displacement of the rod 14. The bottle is thus slowly rotated, and its neck, which projects into a furnace 18, is uniformly heated. The rod 14 is then moved to the right until the pinion 15 engages the wheel 6, and is thus rotated at a higher speed. The carrier 9 is also rotated one step forward, so that a fresh bottle can be heated in the furnace 18 and the softened one can ba operated upon by the neck-forming device 19, shown in detail in Fig.5. The interior neck-forming plug 21 is mounted on a spindle 20, which is moved forward against the action of a spring 28 by a pivoted hand-lever 31. In the forward position, a projection 33 on the fixed part 19 of the apparatus enters a recess 32 in the spindle 20 and allows a spring 34 to pull the plug 21 down, so that a projection on it forms the internal groove in the rapidly rotating bottle neck. The external neck-forming rollers 23 are mounted on slides 22 provided with pins 24, which engage cam-slots 25 in a member 26, which is rotated by a handle 27 and presses the rollers 23 into contact with the bottle neck. When the member 26 is further rotated, a cam projection 37 on it lifts the spindle 20 off the projection 33 and allows the spring 28 to withdraw the plug 21 from the bottle. When the handle 27 is released, the member 20 is drawn back to its original position by a spring 35. The finished bottle is then removed.

Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 11,609. Johnson, G. W., [Kalle & Co.]. May 17. Dyes, artificial.-Blue colouring-matters of the thioindigo type are manufactured by condensing a-isatine chloride or its halogen substitution products, with a-oxytbionaphthene or its halogen substitution products, in molecular proportions. The halogen substitution products of the former compound are easily obtained by treating isatine in solution, with the halogen in question, and then converting the product into halogen isatine chloride with phosphorus pentachloride. Those of a-oxythionaphthene are obtained as described in Specification No. 11,173, A.D. 1906, with the difference that a halogen substitution product of o-aminothiophenol is used as the initial product. To produce the colouring-matter, the compounds to be condensed are heated together in benzene or other liquid, with exclusion of water, and finally cooled, and the crystals filtered from the liquid. If p - - chloroxythionaphthene and chlorisatine chloride are used, a dichlorthioindigo derivative results, which is isolated by filtration and subsequent washing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed and Distance Meters.
Inventor: SCHINKEL AXEL FERDINAND BERGMA
Filed: 1907-09-23
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 21,102. Schinkel, A. F. B. von. Sept. 23. Logs and leeway indicators.-In a speed and distance indicator, a record strip, which is driven from a rotating part on the vessel, and is graduated longitudinally to show distance and transversely to show speed, passes vertically in front of a horizontallymoving metal band also driven by the vehicle and provided with a marking- point. A flat spring provided with a striking-head is adapted to be deflected by a suitable moving part and released at the completion of a given distance so as to strike the metal band and cause the marking-point to depress the paper against an inking-pad. As a definite time will have elapsed between the release of the spring and the moment of its striking the marking-point, during which time the latter will have moved a distance across the record strip varying as the speed of the vehicle, the transverse graduation of the strip will indicate the speed, while the longitudinal graduation gives the distance travelled. The record strip 14, Fig. 2, perforated at its edges, is led from the roller 20 over the spiked rollers 18, Figs. 1 and 2, passing in front of the flat spring 5 provided with a striking-head 6 as wide as the transverse graduations of the strip, and is wound on the roller 21 by the spring - controlled winding- device 24. The shaft 2 rotated by the vehicle drives the perforated metal band 11, provided with the marking-point 15, and carried over spiked pulleys 12 by means of the pulley 10, and also drives through the worm 3, worm-wheel 4, and intermediate gearing the perforated band 16 passing over pulleys 19 by means of the spiked pulley 17. As the worm-wheel 4 rotates in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 2, a transverse pin 8 fixed to it passes through the wide portion 7 of a longitudinal slot in the spring, and sliding along the outer face of the latter, causes the spring to be deflected backwards until it is released by the pin escaping through the wide portion 9 of the slot. The roller 20 is braked by the spring 23, and together with the roller 21 can be removed from the casing by withdrawing bolts 22. The record strip is shown in Fig. 5.
