Title: Improvements in or connected with Ball Bearings for Shafts and the like.
Inventor: RIEBE AUGUST
Filed: 1901-12-02
Granted: 1902-11-27
Abstract: 24,521. Riebe, A. Dec. 2. Ball bearings.-In connection with ball bearings for the shafts &c. of transmission gearing, means are provided for relieving the bearing of vertical or lateral pressure, caused by the tension of the belts &c., for repairing and other purposes. Fig. 2 shows a bearing in which the balls c run between rings a, b, one ring b being secured to the shaft w, and the other ring mounted in a two-part casing g, g<1>. The shaft is supported vertically to relieve the bearing by means of a crutch d adjustably mounted on a screw e, the end of which is rotatably mounted in the base of the casing. Cheeks or flanges h on the casing prevent the shaft from giving in a lateral direction owing to the pull of the belts &c. Recesses i, i<1> formed in the casing for the reception of the screws connecting the parts of the ring a, are made larger than is necessary, to allow the ring a certain amount of play. In a modification, in which the bearing is suspended between the arms of a bracket, the shaft is supported between the jaws of a wrench-like bar, which is adjustably clamped to the bracket.

Abstract: 25,537. Meldrum, J. J., and Meldrum Bros. Dec. 14. Corpses, treatment and disposal of.-Relates tc furnaces for cremation. and consists of means for preventing the production of smoke and objectionable fumes and for controlling the furnace. The primary combustion chamber c communicates by passages f with the crematory chamber g, which contains a perforated false floor b for supporting the coffin. The chamber g communicates by openings j with a secondary combustion chamber k, which communicates by passages m with the downcast passages n of two regenerators, placed at the sides of the furnaces so that their partition walls serve to support the furnace. From the passages n the gases pass by flues to the chimney. The action of the furnace is regulated by a door u in the ashpit, which is only opened when a cremation is to be effected, and by an auxiliary hot-air supply which is admitted to the primary combustion chamber by openings d. The air is heated by passing at the points q into ascending passages in the regenerators leading to a collecting chamber at the top, and by descending therefrom by flues s to conduits leading to the openings d. After cremation, the ashes which fall upon a tray in the chamber g are swept through shoots x into a receptacle placed on a shelf y. The coffin is inserted at v, and doors z, z<1> and b<1> are provided at the back of the furnace.

Abstract: 23,307. Biggs, R. Oct. 27. Muffs.-A muff or covering for the hands of a rider on a bicycle, or the driver of a motor car &c., comprises a wire, wicker, or like framework having a suitable fur or other covering. In one arrangement, wires B', B', B' supporting an end ring C and a covering D, are attached to the flange of a split hinged collar A clipped to the handle-bar. The covering is continued all round the framework, but on the underside it has a loose bagged part G<1> ; the portion E is preferably of leather and provided with a buttoned or laced-up opening E<1>. In a collapsable form, Fig. 5, a central rib K consists of four hinged links through which freely pass the arms C' supporting the flexible side members L. When the frame is extended, the ends of wire springs M engage with holes N drilled in one portion of a bifurcation at one end of each link, and the muff may be extended or collapsed by pulling the ring C away from, or pushing it towards, the collar. In another arrangement, the ends of the supporting-ribs, consisting of pivoted links, are respectively pivoted to three fixed arms on the collar and to the ring, and the extended ribs are locked by the pressure of side springs upon pins which also cause the links to turn severally in the right direction, or by the engagement of projections with corresponding depressions on the links. The locking-springs may be arranged to be released by pressing conveniently-placed buttons. In other modifications, a fixed curved portion supports a lattice arrangement of links ; or the framework may comprise a spiral spring so shaped as to leave the underside open and adapted to be retained, when collapsed, by suitable catches on the collar, or the ribs may be made of tubes sliding telescopically one within the other. The ring C need not be complete, but may have end loops connected by an elastic strip. The levers to be controlled may pass into the muff, or the bell and brake may be operated through the covering at the bagged portion G<1>.

Title: Improved Means for Preventing Choking of Ascension Pipes of Gas Retorts
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM PIKE
Filed: 1903-05-15
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 11,103. Gibbons, W. P., Gibbons, G. B. A., and McEwen, C. J. May 15. Ascension pipes; gas retorts.-Choking of ascension pipes of gas retorts is prevented by a coal stopper, which is inserted in the mouth of the retort. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 5, this consists of a plate A, which fits the mouth of the inclined retort C and is supported by a leg E bearing against a stud F. The plate A is placed a little higher in the retort than the ascension pipe D and has an opening a<1>, for the gas to pass through, covered by a curved plate G attached to it. The tortuous passage of the gas, as shown by the arrow, causes most of the tar to be deposited in the mouthpiece B of the retort, where it gives off a tarry vapour, which keeps the inside of the ascension pipe moist and prevents incrustation. When applied to horizontal retorts, the baffle-plate A' is given the form of the coal stopper above described. This plate may be carried by links I fixed to the door J of the retort, or these links may be dispensed with. In a modication suitable for inclined retorts, Fig. 8, two plates L, K are used, the latter being bow-shaped and supported by a leg E, as before. The plate L, which is attached to the plate K, is flat and is placed above the bottom of the retort, to allow some of the small coal to pass under it and rest against the plate K.
