IMPROVEMENTS IN ROOFING OR OTHER LATH OR WOOD CUTTING MACHINES
Year: 1885

page_text: I JOSEPH BEWICK of St Luke's Road Pallion in the Borough of Sunderland
in the County of Durham Timber Merchant do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN ROOFING OR OTHER LATH OR WOOD CUTTING
MACHINES 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 this Invention is to facilitate the cutting up of Planks into
Roofing or other Laths or Strips and to obviate the present stoppages and loss
of time occasioned by the heating and buckling of circular saws when used for
that purpose.
To accomplish this I form the saws or cutters of steel and as shown in
Figure (1) in the accompanying drawing the toothed or cutting edges (A) being
contained in a portion of the circumference only. I secure these saws or cutters
in any suitable number upon a spindle or shaft as shown in Figure (2) of the said
drawing a distance piece (B) being placed between each; representing the width or
thickness of the Roofing or other Lath or strip to be cut. On one end of the :
spindle I secure a driving pulley or sheave (C) by which the spindle and cutters
when placed in suitable framing or bearings is revolved by means of a belt or
other drive.
In action the planks to be cut up into Roofing or other Laths or strips are fed
under the rapidly revolving cutters by means of an automatic or other feed motion
in the usual manner and are cut up into Roofing or other Laths or strips of a
width represented by the distance between the saws or cutters, each plank following
its predecessor without stopping.
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) To prevent the heating of the saws or cutters by forming them as shown in
the said Figure (1) and by which means the edges of the saws or cutters (A) are

page_text: only in momentary contact with the plank to be cut and during the remainder of
the revolution are exposed to the cooling influence of the atmosphere thus enabling
the process of Roofing or other Lath or strip cutting to proceed without stoppage
for the heating of saws or cutters, as is the case when circular saws are employed
and whose discs are in constant frictional contact with the plank during Roofing
or other Lath or strip cutting.

HANDLES TO BROOMS OR BRUSHES
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL PICKERSGILL Star Foundry Eagle Street Derby in the County of
Derby Stove Grate Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for SECURING HANDLES TO BROOMS OR BRUSHES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an Iron or other metal Socket & Screw combined,
arranged according to my invention, the Socket A is made taper and widest at
the bottom as shown in section Fig. 2 where it is provided with a V metal
wedge B the whole width as shown in the plan Fig. 3 so that when the wood
Handle C is driven into the Socket the wedge expands the wood in the bottom of
the Socket, so that the Handle cannot easily be withdrawn nor will it turn round
in the Socket when using the Handle to turn the Screw D into-or out of the Broom
or Brush Head I sometimes use an extra wedge of wood where the Handle is
full small as shown at E Fig. 4 to further expand the Handle where necessary &
I sometimes dispense with the wedges altogether in which case the inside of the
Socket is made with a Screw thread to hold the handle as shown in section Fig. 5
& a small nail G prevents the handle unscrewing, thus in each case the handle is
firmly attached to the Socket A & in turn the Screw D Fig. 1, which is made
slightly taper, deep in the thread & sharp as shown, is inserted in the hole of the
Broom or Brush Head and screwed home, when it will be firmly secured until the
Broom or Brush is worn out and can then be unscrewed and inserted into a new
head, thus preventing much trouble & inconvenience & effecting a great saving as
the handles thus mounted will last a many years, the Screw D is made hollow as
shown at H but this is only for lightness and for the purpose of my Invention
may be either hollow or solid. In each of the views the same letters represent
corresponding parts wherever they occur.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1st A Metal Socket & Screw combined with or without a Wedge or wedges or
Screw thread inside the Socket, of the shape and arrangement and for the
purpose substantially as hereinbefore described & illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
2nd The method of attaching same to Broom or Brush handles for the purpose
of securing the Head and preventing the Broom or Brush coming off in use or
otherwise until required.

page_text: Improvements in Steel Converter Linings and Bottoms.
I, ALEXANDER EDWIN TUCKER of Holly St. Smethwick, Birmingham Metal-
lurgist do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
LININGS OF BASIC STEEL CONVERTERS & METALLURGICAL FURNACES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
My Invention consists in the use of Basic slag as ordinarily obtained in the
Basic process for the manufacture of Steel as a lining for the body or belly and top
or nose sections of converters. In these parts of the apparatus the heat and
abrading action of the blast is greater than elsewhere and up to the present time
shrunk dolomite or other expensive materials have alone been used in these
positions. I find however that basic slag may be advantageously used in these
positions and also as a lining for copper Lead & Glass melting furnaces, as well as
for Iron cupolas. For all these purposes the slag may either alone or mixed with
lime or oxide of iron be cast into bricks or blocks or it may be used either in the
form of rammed or pressed bricks or blocks or as slurry. I do not however claim
these latter modes of application nor do I claim the use of basic slag in admixture
with dolomite for the manufacture by ramming of Converter " plugs or
bottoms" but 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 use of Basic Slag as a lining for the "Belly" and "Nose" i.e. the body
and top sections of Steel Converters.
2. The use of such slag in the form of cast bricks, or blocks, or bottoms.
3. The use of such slag as a lining for Copper, Lead & Glass Furnaces and Iron
Cupolas.

YIELDING COUPLING FOR ROTATING SHAFTS
Year: 1885

page_text: We, GEORGE BEN GOODFELLOW and ROBERT MATTHEWS Engineers of Hyde in
the County of Chester, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
*YIELDING COUPLING FOR ROTATING SHAFTS" and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Our invention relates to the construction of a coupling for connecting two
rotating shafts in such a manner as to allow of a little yielding or flexibility so as
to reduce strain in case of slight errors of level or allignment. We will describe
this construction referring to the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 being a longi-
tudinal section and Figs 2 and 3 being transverse sections on X X and Z Z
respectively. From a boss A fixed on the one shaft we make two or more
cylindrical segments B project, and similarly from the boss fixed on the other shaft
we make a corresponding number of cylindrical segments C project into the free
spaces between the segments B. We fit round the cylindrical segments a con-
tinuous chain D consisting of a number of links jointed together. In some of the
spaces between those links we arrange studs E to project from the segments B
and studs F to project from the segments C. The one set of these studs operate to
drive the chain round, and the chain drives the other set.
Motion being thus communicated from the one shaft to the other through the
flexible or jointed chain, there is a certain yield allowing for errors of level or
allignment,
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The construction of yielding coupling for rotating shafts substantially as herein
described and illustrated by the drawings

Continuous and Automatic Lubrication of Journals and Bearings
I ANTHONY STEVENSON, 10, Grosvenor Park Road, Chester, do hereby declare
the nature of my invention 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 automatic lubrication of bearings in such
manner that the lubricant shall be supplied to the upper part of the bearing and
Price 6d1

page_text: spread over the same in quantity proportionate to the speed of the shaft, and as it
sinks down and passes away shall be continuously returned to the bearing.
It is best described by aid of the accompanying drawings in which—
Figure 1 is a transverse section,
Figure 2 a longitudinal section,
Figure 3 a plan with cap and top brass removed shewing grooves of a plummer
block made in accordance with my invention.
In these A is the cast iron portion of the plummer block, B upper brass cut
away at centre C, D lower brass having two channels or grooves E, and two
holes F F for the chain G to pass through; the edges of these holes are rounded as
shown to prevent the chain dragging on them, and in some cases little antifriction
pulleys may be placed to keep the chain off these edges altogether, and prevent it
touching the sides of the holes. This precaution is however usually unnecessary.
G endless chain or band of any suitable flexible material, H reservoir of oil into
which the chain G dips, I plug in same, J groove and hole in bottom of the lower
brass allowing the spent oil to run into the reservoir.
In operating the reservoir H is filled with oil. The oil falling on the upper part
of the shaft runs down and fills grooves E, and the surplus passes into holes J, and
from thence into reservoir H. When the shaft revolves, the chain continuously
revolves with it, carrying oil up to the top of the shaft from whence it runs down
into grooves E, and eventually after lubricating the bearing trickles out through
groove and hole J into the reservoir again. When the oil begins to get black and
thick, it is withdrawn from the reservoir through plug I and fresh oil added
through duct.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The method of automatically lubricating bearings, which consists in cutting
away the top bearing at centre, causing an endless band hanging over the journal
at this point to dip into a reservoir below to revolve with the shaft, and bring up
oil to the top of the bearing, and so shaping the lower bearing, as to catch this oil,
substantially as described.
2nd. The apparatus substantially as described and referred to in the previous
claim.
IMPROVEMENTS IN GLOVE FASTENERS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, ISAAC WILKINSON, of 13, Guys Cliffe, Otley Road, Bradford, in the County of
York, Pawnbroker, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN GLOVE FASTENERS, 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 this invention is to produce an efficient and inexpensive glove
fastener as a substitute for buttons, which however well fastened are liable to come
off; and consists in forming of metal a male and female clasp; the former is
secured to the glove by passing an elongated plate through a hole in the leather,
so as to grip both sides of the leather to hold and stand the necessary strain
without tearing the latter. The female half of the clip is secured by two elongated
plates, and has through its upper surface one or more holes for securing the hook of
the male, when it is desired to fasten the glove.
In the accompanying drawings Fig 1. represents a view of a hand with the
glove unfastened. Fig 2 with the glove fastened. Fig 3 is an enlarged detail of
my improved glove fasteners linked together. Fig 4 is a view of the same on the
underside next the wrist. Fig 5. shews the top side, unhooked. Fig 6. the under-
side. Fig 7. is a section through a portion of a glove with the fasteners linked,
and Fig 8. shews them unlinked.
The male portion A. of the metal clasp is formed with an elongated plate B. on
the underside, which is passed through the leather and gripped, thereby securing
the same so as to hold and stand the necessary strain without tearing the hole
through which the elongated plate B. is passed. The female portion A¹ of the
clasp or fastener, is secured to the glove by two elongated plates B¹. B¹, similar to
the above, and which are passed through holes and gripped as before described.
This portion has cut through its upper surface one or more holes C. through one of
which the hook end of the male clasp A is passed, when it is desired to fasten the
glove; thus by cutting a number of holes C in the female clip A' the necessary
degree of tightness around the wrist is accomplished.

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
Glove fasteners with elongated plates B and B₁ and with one or more holes C
cut through the female portion all arranged substantially in the manner and for the
purpose as hereinbefore described.

-
This invention relates to an improved ring and traveller for spinning machines,
and is illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
The novel feature of the said invention is a double-armed traveller a, shaped as
shown or approximately as shown in Figures 1 and 2 or as in figure 4, and whose
projection upon a horizontal plane is as shown in Figure 3 or Figure 5 respectively,
and the two more or less, diverging arms form at their ends eyes directed radially
to the centre of the spindle These two eyes embrace the rim 6 of an ordinary ring
upon which the traveller a is moved in a circle The two eyes of the traveller a,
which are placed radially to the centre of the spindle as shown in Figures 3 and 5,
embrace the rim b sufficiently not to fall therefrom, and they have so much play
that the traveller a, simultaneously with its circular inotion upon the rim b, can
also move forward and backward relatively to the centre of the spindle
The part of the traveller a which is furthest away from the rim b, and under
which the thread 18 led to the spindle can, by this arrangement, easily approach
the spindle and recede from the same as required
The upper part of the traveller constantly lies against the spindle or cop wound
thereon, by reason of the tension of the thread
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated
to me by my foreign Correspondent I declare that what I claim is
A ring and traveller for spinning machines, the said traveller being formed
substantially as shown in Figures 2 or 4 and having two eyes at its ends running
upon a rim on the ring, and its upper part being drawn towards the spindle by the
tension of the thread or the like which is being wound

IMPROVEMENTS IN BALANCE OR DOUBLE DRIVING GEAR FOR TRICYCLES, VELOCIPEDES ETC
Year: 1885

page_text: RALPH MATTHIAS WEAVER, Mechanic 78 North Road, Wolverhampton and
CASEBOW THEODORE WEAVER, Mechanic, 324 Bilston Road, Wolverhampton, in the
County of Stafford do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN BALANCE OR DOUBLE DRIVING GEAR FOR TRICYCLES, VELOCIPEDES ETC, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
That our invention is a mechanical contrivance applicable to Tricycles, Velocipedes,
Vehicles of similar construction, and other machines, and that by its aid an
accelerated and more steadfast motion is imparted.
A pulley or chain wheel runs loosely on a main axle. Through the chain wheel
run spindles having free action, and with arms projecting on either side, and on
which are secured toothed or pinión wheels having straight, or bevelled teeth.
Gearing or inter-working with these double pinions, on either side of pulley or
chain wheel are toothed arrangements for transmitting power to the wheels.
That on the left side consists of a drum or flange having teeth on its under and
inner surface, and that on the righthand side consists of a toothed or cog-wheel,
Each of these last mentioned toothed arrangements are attached to a main wheel
and their positions as to righthand and lefthand sides of pulley wheel may be
reversed respectively. The power is thus eaqually devided by the pulley or chain
wheel to the main or principal wheels by means of the toothed drum or flange, and
cog-wheel, while each main wheel has separate action when needed by means of
the free action of spindles bearing pinion wheels.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed; we declare that what
we claim is
To be the true and first inventors of a Balance or Double Driving gear having
pinion or toothed wheels revolving on each side a chain or pulley wheel, and inter-
working with a toothed flange or toothed wheel, on one side; and a toothed wheel
on the other.
IMPROVEMENTS IN Joiner RAILWAY CHAIRS
Year: 1885

page_text: We BENJAMIN WARING JACKSON of Morley near Leeds Engine Tenter and
RICHARD SMITH ASHTON of Middleton near Leeds (both in the county of York)
"IMPROVEMENTS IN
Joiner do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
RAILWAY CHAIRS," to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct railway chairs, so as to dispense with
wooden keys, iron blocks, cotters, and bolts, at the same time, they are stronger
and durable, they are easily and readily fixed and adjusted, they are cheaper in
construction, less metal being required.
The chairs are each split or made in halves, the arms of each part of the chair,
fit to the form of the rail, without using the wooden wedges, each part of the chair
is secured to the sleeper by taper wedges, plugs or pegs of any convenient number;
both parts of the chair are alike in construction so that there are no right and left
hand parts, and on breakage, the odd one will fit any other half chair, there is also
a great saving in metal, the length of the chairs being reduced.

We WILLIAM HORSFALL GREENWOOD Commission Wool Comber, and FREDERICK
FARRAR, Manager, both of Upper Castle Street, Bradford in the County of York
do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN BEATERS OR
GUARD-ROLLERS OF CARDING MACHINES AND IN THE METHOD OF APPLYING THE
SAME and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to beaters or guard-rollers for cleaning burrs, seeds and
general foreign matter from wool and other fibres during the process of carding.
Hitherto the wings of beaters or guard-rollers have been set in a line with or
parallel to the axis of the roller, our improvements consist Firstly in inclining
the wings spirally with the axis of the beater or guard roller whereby they are
rendered more effective; and secondly in arranging such beaters to operate upon
the fibres in pairs, the wings of each beater forming spirals inclined in an opposite
direction to those of its fellow; the combined action of which more thoroughly
removes burrs, and other foreign matter from the fibres as they are being carded.
Figure 1 in the drawings accompanying this specification is an elevation of our
improved beater or guard-roller in which the wings A are set spirally with the
shaft or arbor B of the beater such wings being attached in the usual manner to the
drum F. Figure 2 is an end view of a pair of beaters C and D applied to the first
licker-in or opening roller E of a carding machine. Figure 3 is a plan of the
same.
The beaters are driven in the usual manner and the spiral wings A on the
beater C being twisted or inclined in an opposite direction to the spiral wings A
on the beater D by their combined action on the fibres carried by the licker-in or
opening roller E, more effectually remove burrs, and other foreign matter projecting
therefrom than the beaters hereinbefore in use.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare what we
claim is
1. Beaters or guard-rollers of carding machines formed with spiral wings sub-
stantially as herein shewn and described and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of two such beaters the wings of which are inclined spirally
in opposite directions, substantially as herein shewn and for the purpose specified.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN DRIVING BELTS
Year: 1885

page_text: I, HENRY SIMON of Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, Civil Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN DRIVING
BELTS "to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to strengthen cotton or other woven driving
belts by providing them with an edging of caoutchouc on each side thereof. For
this purpose, the edges of the belt as also a certain width of its surfaces within the
edge are treated with a caoutchouc solution by preference repeatedly applied, after
which a thin strip of caoutchouc is lapped round each edge of the belt so as to be
cemented thereto, and the belt is then placed in a suitably formed mould of an
ordinary vulcanising press in order to vulcanise the caoutchouc.
Should it be desired to have a greater thickness of caoutchouc along the edges
of the belt this may be effected by first cementing a thicker strip of caoutchouc
to the outer edges of the belt and then lapping the before mentioned thinner strip
round the same so as to enclose the thicker strip, the whole being formed into one
piece by the vulcanising belts.

The object of our invention is to provide an improved door or slide for the
purpose of opening or closing the apertures or spaces between the Fire Bars of any
ordinary Kitchen or Room Grate. The Fire Bars may be either horizontal or
vertical, in the accompanying drawings they are shown horizontal and are
marked A;
•
In front of the Bars A we fix outer grates or slides B with Bars and spaces
corresponding with the inner Bars A and the spaces between. On the sides of the
inner Bar Frame C we place slides or Brackets D in which are slot holes with
catches or notches F inside. In these slot holes work pins or projections E which
we affix on the side frames K of the outer grates or slides B. This outer grate or
slide B, may be made in one or in two or more parts. The accompanying drawings
show it in two parts, the upper part being shown as closing the spaces and the
lower part as leaving the spaces open. To close the spaces the outer grates or
slides B are pushed upwards when the pin E slides over and drops on to the
catch F which retains it in the position shown on the upper part of drawings. To
re-open the spaces the outer grates or slides B are lifted off the catch F and lowered
into their original positions as shown on the lower part of drawings. If the
Fire Bars are vertical the outer grate or Bars may work in slots or slides placed at
the top or bottom of the Bar frame or both.
