IMPROVEMENTS IN SPINDLE FLYERS FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I, ROBERT TURPIE 8 Watt Street Harpurhey, Manchester Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of the above invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN SPINDLE FLYERS
FOR SPINNING AND DOUBLING, to be as follows:-
I flatten or make Oval the arms of the Flyers in such a manner as to reduce the
resistance of the atmosphere to a minimum and thereby greatly reducing the power
required for driving which is a very considerable item where many thousands of
spindles are at work.
A greater speed can be attained through its anti atmospheric action.
It allows the bobbin to contain more yarn.
Fower ends will be broken down by its peculiar action and the fibres are not so
liable to be startled as on all other Flyers when working at very high speeds.
Dated this 10th day of March 1884.

page_text: I ROBERT TURPIE S Watt Street Harpurhey Manchester Engineer I do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for SPINDLE FLYERS and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
I Flatten or make oval the arms of the Flyers in such a manner as to reduce 5
the resistance of the atmosphere to a minimum and thereby greatly reducing the
power required for driving which is a very considerable item where many thousands
of Spindles are at work. By this form of flyer a greater speed can be attained
through its anti atmospheric action and includes other advantages.
I make oval or partly circle or bend the top part of the flyer arms in such a 1
manner as will cause the yarn to move automatically round to the straight part
and rest on the outside of the flyer arm and thereby avoid all contact with the
bobbin head, so that fewer ends will be broken down by its peculiar action when
working at very high speeds.
Refering to the drawings. A Represents the front view with the sharp beveled 1
edge on the running side.
B The flattened or side view showing part of the ovaled or bent form of the
arm where the yarn stops after its peculiar action has taken place.
C Represents the top part of the arms bent in the form best suited to meet with
the least resistance from the air and also to cause the yarn to move with the 2
peculiar action refered to and so prevent the yarn from breaking down.
D The cross section of the arms.
E Shows the position of the yarn from the thread wire wire to the bobbin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 2
I claim is
1, The flattened form of the flyer arms, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2, on a flyer with flattened arms as above the curved form of the upper part,
substantially as hereinbefore described.

AN INJECTOR FOR MIXING AIR & GAS IN GAS BURNERS FOR HEATING PURPOSES
Year: 1884

page_text: "
"
I, ROBERT BELL SANSON, of 87 Globe Road, London, E. in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
INJECTOR FOR MIXING AIR & GAS IN GAS BURNERS FOR HEATING PURPOSES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention consist of an apparatus for mixing Air and Gas for obtaining
great heat, and is applicable to such purposes as the heating of Smoothing Irons
for Tailors, Hatters, Laundries and also for general purposes.
Fig. 1. is a section, Fig. 2. a side view, and Fig. 3. an end view of my apparatus.
I construct an injector burner with two nipples A, and B, placed inside a chamber
or mouth H, as shewn in Fig. 1., these nipples are inclined, the one to the other at
an angle by preference of 37° one of the two nipples A or B is attached by a
connecting tube to a small Fan or Blower from which air is supplied at a low
pressure, whilst a current of Gas is passed through the other nipple, and the two
nipples are so placed the one to the other, that the current of Air and Gas exactly
meet at the centre of the opening, or mouth of the chamber H, as shewn by the
dotted central lines in Fig. 1. I make a number of holes or openings C, D, E, F,
in the sides of the chamber H; around and close to the nipple A. B. The action
of my injector burner is as follows:-When the Air and Gas are rushing out of the
nipples they induce a draught in the side holes, and I have found that 15 times
the amount of Air passing through the nipple B, is drawn into the chamber. I thus
economize the mechanical action of forceing the Air by means of the Fan. The Air.
drawn in at the side holes C, D, E, F, being at a low pressure completely burns
the Gas, and there is no waste or smell, and by the more perfect combination of
Gas and Air, I obtain a very intese heat, at a decreased cost, I may employ 3, or
more nipples, two being for Gas, and one for Air, or otherwise, and I can regulate
the heat obtained by altering the pressures of the Air, or Gas; or by altering the
size of the nipples; or by altering the position and size of the holes C. D. E. F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The combination of two injector nipples A, B, at a suitable angle, placed inside
a chamber H, having Air holes around same, for the purpose, and substantially as
described.

accessible.
My Invention consists in attaching to the interior of the hat and in the centre
by preference a selection of smokers appliances preferably consisting of a striking
surface for igniting matches or other lights a clip or attachment for holding
matches or other lights, and an attachment for holding one or more cigars, or
pipes.
In carrying out my invention I preferably make the match striking surface
circular in shape the centre being occupied with a piece of looking glass in con-
nection with this circular centre part, I construct on one side an elastic or spring
catch suitable for holding a few matches or cigar lights-and on the other side of the
centre part, I fix an elastic or spring catch or clasp to retain one or more cigars or
pipes. The above described appliance may be attached to the hat when made, or
they may be made so as to be sold separately and attached either to new bats
or hats in use.
.
The attachment may be made by means of open eyelets passed through the
appliance and the roof of the hat so that the opening of the eyelets act as ventila-
tors or it may be attached to the crown by some adhesive substance, and other
means of ventilation may be used.
This arrangement will be found very useful in enabling smokers to light a cigar
when out of doors or in windy weather.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PREPARATION OF A MATERIAL FOR DEODORISING PURPOSES AND FOR USE IN THE PURIFICATION OF OIL SYRUPS AND OTHER LIQUIDS
Year: 1884

page_text: I, JOHN CHARLES STEPHENSON, of Arundel .Street, Landport, Portsmouth in the
County of Hants, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE PREPARATION OF A MATERIAL FOR DEODORISING PURPOSES AND FOR USE
IN THE PURIFICATION OF OIL SYRUPS AND OTHER LIQUIDS," and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:—
This Invention has for its object the preparation and manufacture of an improved
material suitable for deodorising purposes, for use in the purification of oils and for
the filtration and decolorization of solutions of sugar, of water, and other liquids
requiring such treatment.
The material I prepare substantially as follows. Having selected any suitable
clay, by preference one which contains as little as possible of any of the products
of lime, magnesia or iron, I dry it and then reduce it to a suitable granular
condition by grinding and crushing. Into this clay so granulated I thoroughly
mix carbon such as is produced by deposition from vapours generated during the
imperfect combustion of hydro-carbon oils or resins &c. (in the form of lamp black)
or of wood or coal and its products &c. (in the form of soot). The proportion I use
of carbon, to that of clay is about one part by measure of the former to three or
four of the latter.
The carbon and granulated clay so mixed I then place in any suitable retort
heated previously to a red heat and having closed the retort I allow the granulated
clay to remain in it for from 4 to 5 hours until it has become thoroughly carbonised,
taking care to keep the retort at a steady temperature whilst the carbonising
process is going on.
When thoroughly carbonised I withdraw. the carbonised material from the.
retort and allow it to cool gradually in closed vessels protected from the action of
the air.
The retorts I prefer to utilize for the carbonising process are similar to those
which are used in gas works for the manufacture of gas.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
-
The manufacture and preparation of a filtering and deodorising material
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MEAT POWDER AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Year: 1884

page_text: I MAURICE BAUER, of the firm of M. Bauer and Company, Civil Engineers,
of 30 Boulevard Magenta Paris in the Republic of France, do hereby declare. the
nature of my said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MEAT
POWDER AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
"
The object of my invention is to manufacture a new description of meat powder,
without using a higher temperature than 167° Fahr: and yet removing every
danger arising from bacteria; and although not subjected to a boiling process, is
thereby rendered suitable for consumption as food.
In carrying out my invention, the meat is freed from all fat, bones and sinews,
and cut into long and very thin pieces. These are placed in a kettle of boiling
water for several minutes, they are then removed therefrom and placed in another
vessel, which latter vessel is placed in a bath of boiling water.
To the meat is then added about 3 per cent of its weight of chemically pure
salt, and as many vegetables, herbs &e as required.
The heat is then continued for an hour or two, in the same vessel.
After this process it is minced in a mincing machine. The broth arising from
the above described process is sifted and concentrated, and then slowly added to
the minced meat, whereby the broth is again absorbed by the meat. The meat is
then either warmed in a vacuum at a temperature not exceeding 160° Fahr: (00° R)
and thoroughly dried, or it may be warmed in a cylindrical vessel to from
144° 5 Fahr to 167° Fahr: (50° to 60° R) and kept continually stirred, at the same
time the meat is entirely freed from water.
The meat is then ready for use, either as it leaves the apparatus, or after
pulverization, and either with or without the addition of vegetables, flour of any
suitable description, fat, spices, cocoa pharmaceutical or other preparations.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1 The method and process of preparing meat powder whereby the same is not
exposed to a higher temperature than 167° Fahr substantially as hereinbefore
described.

page_text: 2 The use of meat powder prepared by the above described process alone: or of
such meat powder in combination or mixed with other suitable ingredients prepared
and added thereto, substantially as herein before described.

IMPROVED FORM OF LANTERN FRONT FOR MAGIC LANTERNS" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
=
Figs 1 and 2 Side Elevation as well as Front. of the manner of making and
working my Invention. A represents the nozzle or Front of the Lantern which
is attached to the solid brass upright plato F and secured firmly by a solid brass
ground plate 6 Fig 1 to the back plate of Lantern which enables insertions to be
made from the Top instead of Sides if desired Sliding in this is the brass Frame d
in which are Two compartments that are required to be alternately before the Large
Lens or condenser of the Lantern, This I accomplish by mechanical means as Fig 4
which represents a Switch or Lever the action of which is that by alternately
moving the Switch or Lever F upon the centre g has the effect of moving the brass
Frame in the opposite directions as required. The brass Frame is further fitted
with a supplementary brass Frame as E Fig 5 which is so made that I can by
withdrawing the saine from the main Frame use the both compartments for a
Larger sized Photograph such as French make &c or by inserting it again it shall
hold a smaller sized Photograph such as English make, At Bottom of d d is the
ground piece made of brass on which the Large frame rests which fits into by a
Slot, so that it can be removed at pleasure and is retained in its place by suitable
stops at bottom of Frame.
Fig 3 represents the condenser c. c, c c are separate joints which can be made
numerous enough to extend to 10 or 12 inches if desired The joints can have
either male or Female Screws or Sliding Tubes or one Long Tube in order to
produce the extending of Front Lens from back Lens which enables me to obtain
a better result in the case of using long focus Front Lenses than by the old system
of having the Condensers close together or nearly so as generally used.
