Patent GB-190108271-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for the Reproduction of Works of Art and other Objects.
Inventor: BONTEMPI AUGUSTO
Filed: 1901-04-22
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 8271. Bontempi, A. April 22. Copying and carving machines. - A tracing- pointer or guide-pin is moved over a model 59 by hand, and a corresponding movement is imparted to the boring or carving tools by fluid under pressure or electrical means. The model and blocks to be carved are secured in a balanced frame 56, and are moved simultaneously on vertical axes by worm gearing 61. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the pointer is fitted with a double piston valve 32, which is arranged to slide in a cylinder 37 carried by a balanced rod 70 supported by an universal or ball-and-socket joint 68. A large guard-ring 67 limits the swivelling motion of the rod. Each tool is inserted in a shaft mounted in elongated bearings supported by trunnions carried by a swivelling standard supported by the frame 63. When the pointer is moved axially towards, or away from, the model by the handle 71, the frame or table 63, with the tools, is moved automatically in the same direction by fluid under pressure admitted to an operating-cylinder 38 by a supply pipe 73, cylinder 37, and flexible connecting-pipes 75, 76. The cylinder 38 is fixed to the table 63, and moves on a stationary piston 43. Exhaust fluid from the cylinder 38 escapes through the pipes 75, 76, cylinder 37, and exhaust ports 33. The table 63, with the cylinder 37 and tools, is moved until the supply to the cylinder 38 is cut off by the piston valve 32. The tools then occupy the same position as the pointer. On swivelling the pointer vertically, a double piston valve within a cylinder 37<1> is moved by a rod 83, and water is admitted to the cylinder 38<1> by the pipes 75', 76'. The motion of the piston-rod 42<1> is communicated to the tool supports by a rocking shaft 88 and levers, and the cylinder 37<1> is also moved in guides by a lever 100 to cut off the supply of water to the cylinder 38<1>. When the pointer is moved horizontally, the tools are swivelled to a corresponding extent on vertical axes by levers actuated by a piston operated by fluid admitted to a cylinder by a double piston valve thrown into action by a side arm of the pointer. The tool spindles are driven by endless bands and hollow pulleys, which are connected to the spindles by radial cranked keys which slide in keyways or longitudinal slots in the spindles. In a modification, the pointer is connected by a lever to a double piston valve underneath the table. In another arrangement, the longitudinal movement of the pointer completes an electric circuit through an electric motor, and a corresponding movement is imparted to the tool by worm and toothed gearing.

Patent GB-190115868-A (GB)
Title: Certain Improvements in the Manufacture of Pile Fabrics, and in Looms or Machinery therefor
Inventor: COLLUM ALFRED FOWLER MC
Filed: 1901-08-07
Granted: 1901-11-23
Abstract: 15,868. McCollum, A. F. Aug. 7. Looms, pile forming and cutting in; fabrics, pile.- Cut-pile fabrics, or pile fabrics having cut and uncut portions, forming a pattern, are manufactured in a loom having special means for cutting the pile. The grooved pile wires 10, which may have the grooves filled with wood or composition, are introduced into, and withdrawn from, the fabric by means of a reciprocating slide 4, in the usual way. A series of knives 11 is mounted upon studs 12, adjustably attached to a slotted bar 13, and the upper ends of the knives are formed with slots, which engage with studs 15 attached to a slotted bar 16. Each knife is laterally movable, under the control of coiled springs encircling the studs 12, so as to allow its cutting-edge to adjust itself to any deviations of the pile wires. The bars 13, 16 are formed of horizontal portions 13<1>, 13<2> and 16<1>, 16<2> respectively, connected by vertical portions, and the bar 16 is normally pulled against the bar 13 by a spring 19. A standard 20, on the slide 4, supports a spring-controlled tube 21, which is in alignment with the adjacent end of the bar 16. When the slide 4 moves forwards, the tube 21 strikes the bar 16, which forces back the tube, in consequence of the resistance of the spring 19. This rearward movement of the tube is arrested by a pattern cam 26, secured to a ratchet-wheel 25, which is mounted upon the slide, any further forward movement of which causes the bar 16 to slide along the bar 13, so as to bring the knives from their inclined or inoperative, to their vertical or operative positions, when the bar 16 strikes a stop 52 on the bar 13, and both bars then travel together, and the pile loops are cut by the knives. The ratchet-wheel 25 is intermittently rotated by means of a pawl mounted on a rocking shaft 29, actuated by a rod 30, adjustably connected to the lever 5, which transmits motion to the slide. When squares are being formed, as shown in Fig. 1, the stop 52 is connected to a bar 53, the free end of which is acted upon by a pattern cam 42, secured to a ratchet-wheel 40, operated by a pawl 43 ; this pawl is pivoted to an arm on a rocking shaft 44, which carries an arm arranged to strike against an adjustable tappet supported by the slide 4. By this means, the positions of the knives relatively to the fabric, before the commencement of a cut, may be varied according to the requirements of the pattern. The ends of the bars 13, 16 are removably mounted in slides, which are laterally movable in guides 14 and are acted upon by springs tending to force the bars over the inserted pile wires. Each slide is connected by a bent wire 60 to a slotted bar 61 carrying slotted fingers 63, the free ends of which rest against the foremost pile wire, so as to regulate the position of the knife-carrying bars 13, 16.

Title: Process of Manufacturing Mixed Salts of Titanic, Oxalic and Tartaric Acids, and of Titanic, Oxalic and Lactic Acids.
Inventor: DREHER CARL
Filed: 1901-11-16
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 23,188. Dreher, C. Nov. 16. Lactates; oxalates tartrates.-New salts of titanic acid with oxalic acid, which are capable of neutralization, are obtained by treating freshlyprecipitated titanic acid in the form of a paste with :-(1) an acid alkali oxalate, and an alkali tartrate all in molecular proportions, or (2) an acid alkali oxalate, an alkali lactate, and lactic acid, each again in molecular proportions. In another method, the titanic oxide may be first dissolved in hydrochloric acid, and the solution decomposed by (1) an alkali oxalate, and an alkali tartrate, or (2) an alkali oxalate, and an alkali lactate, each in molecular proportions. In both methods, the product may be heated and neutralized with an alkali or alkali carbonate without the titanic acid precipitating out. Examples are given of the preparation of an ammoniacal salt of titanic, oxalic, and tartaric acids, and of a potassium salt of titanic, oxalic, and lactic acid. The new salts are useful for dyeing, as they are superior to the old titanium oxalates in their dyeing action, they are less apt to destroy the leather, they may be applied by brushing, and they are cheaper. Reference is made to Specification No. 22,629, A.D. 1901.
