Title: A Lamp Burning Volatile Hydrocarbon for Incandescence with or without a Mantle of Rare Earths.
Inventor: DENAYROUZE LOUIS
Filed: 1899-11-04
Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 22,098. Denayrouze, L. June 9, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Vapour lamps.-The reservoir and vaporizing- apparatus may be employed either with the burner shown in Figs. 1 and 2 to produce an ordinary luminous flame, or with the incandescent burner and mantle shown in Fig. 4. Loss of the heat conducted by the ring o to the vaporizing-chamber D is prevented by the employment of a porcelain or other non-conducting tube C for containing the cotton or other wick R, which conveys the hydrocarbon from the reservoir S to the vaporizing chamber. The reservoir S, which is enclosed within the lamp body A, is packed with layers T of felt or spongy material for absorbing the liquid hydrocarbon, which is preferably chosen from among the most homogeneous products of distillation of tar. In the argand burner shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the vapour, after mixing in the tube H with air entering at E under the control of the adjustable ring I, ascends. by the tubes L to the annular burner head M, which is surmounted by a flame spreader N. The flame is extinguished by opening the cock V and allowing the vapour to escape instead of passing to the burner.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Ruling Screens or Plates for Photographic Purposes.
Inventor: TRIPP DWIGHT KASSON
Filed: 1901-06-25
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 12,922. Tripp, D. F. June 25. Coloured screens.-Relates to a machine for ruling coloured line screens for use in three-colour photography or for other purposes. The plates, films, or the like C', Fig. 1, to be ruled, are mounted on the periphery of the wheel B, which is slowly rotated by a friction pulley on the axis of the wheel B<6>. The apparatus which draws the coloured lines is seen on a larger scale in Fig. 3. A small disc C<4>, of which the edge is of the required breadth of a line, is pressed against the underside of the plate C<7> by a weighted lever, and takes its colour from a second disc C<2>, which, in turn, takes it from a sponge in the receptacle C' supplied from the main reservoir C by the flexible tuba c. The carriage of the inking-disc C<4> can be adjusted laterally by a leading screw F, which, by means of a star-wheel F<5> and gearing F<4>, F<3>, F<1>, is turned through a definite angle at each revolution of the main wheel B. The inking-disc C<4> is thus displaced laterally by the breadth of a line after the previous line has been ruled. If, on inspection by a lens, the edges of two lines are found to overlap, an adjustment can be made by a screwed rod i, the amount being determined by an index finger I<2> and fixed scale I. The apparatus for inspecting the lines ruled is shown, on a larger scale, in Fig. 9. The lines are illuminated by a thin beam of light emanating from a slit in a casing K, Fig. 1, surrounding an electric glow lamp. An image of the lines is projected by an objective n on to a mirror M, which throws the image on to a ground glass screen where it can be inspected by the operator. For different colours, the same inking- disc may be used, while the colour supply apparatus is changed ; or different complete sets of inking- apparatus may be used simultaneously on one machine.

Abstract: 14,549. Macdonald, J. K., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. July 17. Sewing-machines, governing needle thread in.- Relates to rotary take-ups, and consists of means for preventing entanglement of the thread if the thread breaks, and for controlling the slack thread as the needle descends. The disc n, mounted on a shaft rotated from the needle-bar crank-pin m, and carrying the take-up arm p and pear-shaped guard ring o, is set within a guard-ring q preferably forming part of the face plate. In the event of the thread breaking between the take-up and the work, the loose end is thrown outwards along the arm p, Fig. 4, and wound up on the ring q, which is of such diameter that one or two turns are sufficient to wind up the loose end and disengage it from the take-up. The ring q preferably has a lip u. In normal operation, after the take-up, the thread lying between the arm p and guide r rests for a little while on the ring q, which thus serves to control the slack. The parts may, however, be so arranged that the thread does not normally lie on the ring q.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Low Pressure Steam Heaters
Inventor: TUDOR FREDERIC
Filed: 1902-06-24
Granted: 1902-09-18
Abstract: 14,278. Tudor, r. June 24. Heating buildings, radiators for. Relates to lowpressure steam heating systems and more particularly to the provision for a radiator of a single admission valve which will perform the functions of a graduated valve adjusted to the maximum condensing-capacity under normal conditions, and will also be capable of use as an emergency valve which delivers a larger quantity of steam than such maximum. The valve is shown in Fig. 2, and the index dial or flange employed with the valve in Fig. 3. The steam passage between the inlet rand outlet r<1> is controlled by the spring-pressed valve V. The operating-handle H is secured to the valve stem V<2> by the screw hub h and screw h<2>, and the cam follower k attached to or integral with the arm of the handle H is moved over the cam K to raise the valve V from its seat and adjust the valve opening or steam admission. The cam K is so proportioned that a fraction of the pull rotation of the follower k and handle H suffices to open the valve to admit the normal maximum quantity of steam condensible by the radiator, and the portion of the cam beyond the point of normal maximum steam delivery is of greater pitch than the initial opening portion. The full movement of the valve is limited to one revolution of the cam follower.
