Improvements in Relief-valves.
HENRY BURNETT WATSON Engineer, High Bridge Works, City and County
of Newcastle on Tyne and JOHN STANLEY WATSON Engineer, High Bridge
Works, City and County of Newcastle on Tyne do hereby declare the nature of
this invention 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 self-acting relief-valves intended to be fitted to tanks
containing oil, naptha or other volatilisable liquid, or a liquid from which gas is
liable to be given off.
A valve A may be weighted either with a spring or a weight B to blow off at
any given pressure.
The spindle C on the top of the valve-lid A is continued through the cover and
a handle D attached to it so that the valve A can be raised or moved if it be
required to keep the valve open so that air can pass into the tank containing oil,
naptha or other liquid.
The valve A is raised by means of the handle D. and a pin E. inserted in the
hole F in the spindle C.
The valve-body G may be attached to the tank containing oil, naptha or other
liquid by the flange H as shown in Sheet No. 1, or it may be screwed and fixed with
a check-nut.
If it be found more convenient to fix the relief-valve on the side of the tank, the
valve-body G may be attached to the tank-side by the flange J, see Sheet No. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
First. The construction of self-acting relief-valves to be used in connection
with tanks or pipes containing oil, naptha or other volatilisable liquids.
Second. The construction of self-acting relief valves substantially as described
and represented in the annexed drawings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Weft Boxes for Weavers.
JOHN NEWHOUSE, No. 1 Back Hargraves Street, Underbank, Bacup, Lancashire,
Cotton Weaver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention 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 provide weft boxes, for weavers, with two
compartments, capable of being used for two kinds of weft at the same time, or for
waste, weft tubes, or empty weft bobbins, and which may be used as a box with a
single compartiment when so required.
I attain my object by deviding the weft box laterally by means of a sliding
partition, of tin plate, or other suitable material, which is made to slide in a groove
impressed in the said box. When it is not required to have the weft box in two
compartments, the partition may be removed and slid into another groove near the
end of the box, so as to be out of the way.
Weft boxes may also be devided longitudinally in a similar manner when so
required, and when not required in two compartments, the partition may be removed
and slid into another groove near the side of the box, so as to be out of the way.
The accompanying drawings will explain this more clearly; where
Fig. 1 represents an ordinary weft box undevided and without partition ;
Fig. 2 represents my improved weft box devided laterally by means of the
partition B, which is slid into the groove C;
Fig. 3 represents the improved weft box devided longitudinally by means of the
partition B which is slid into the groove C.
The grooves near the end and side respectively of Figures 2 and 3 are shown by
letter C.
The letters refer to the same parts in both figures.
The dotted lines are intended to represent those parts which are invisible from
the position in which the figures are drawn.
I am aware that weft boxes have been fitted with wooden partitions for the
purpose of deviding them into two compartments, but these partitions have been
secured by means of nails, and are therefore fixtures, and cannot be removed at
pleasure. I therefore do not claim these as my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved weft box with two compartments seperated by a sliding partition
of tin plate, or other suitable material, and which may be removed when the box
is not required to have two compartments, and slid into a groove near the end or
side of the said box, as the case may be; and constructed substantially as and for
purpose herinbefore described.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Newhouse, have to this my Specification
set my hand this First day of May One thousand eight hundred and ninety-

Improvements relating to the Supporting Rods and Bearings of Sifting Machines and the like.
Year: 1893

page_text: Date of Application, 6th Sept., 1893-Accepted, 21st Oct., 1893
Improvements relating to the Supporting Rods and Bearings of
Sifting Machines and the like.
I, CARL HAGGENMACHER, of Rudolfsquai 8 Budapest, in the Kingdom of
Hungary, Mill Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Heretofore horizontal or nearly horizontal sifting frames and like machines, to
which a circulatory or gyrating motion is imparted, have usually been suspended
by straight bars or rods connected by ball and socket-joints at one end to the
ceiling or other points of support and at the other end to the sifting machine. The
sockets or bearings of such ball and socket-joints were provided with openings or
holes in order to give passage to the bars or rods. Such arrangement has the
disadvantage that the wear of the movable parts is very considerable, as just that
part of the bearing (socket) has to be cut out which would be the fittest for
supporting the pressure or weight of the machine, namely that part which lies in
the axis of the cone described by the swinging rods. This disadvantage is par-
ticularly serious, if the hangers or rods are relatively short, because in this case the
angle in which the rods swing is considerable and the hole in the bearings necessary
for permitting the rods to swing freely has to be made correspondingly larger, so
that it takes away a considerable portion of the bearing supporting the ball.
Another defect of the perforating of the bearings is, that the lubricating material
escapes easily through the perforation of such bearings.
My new invention makes the perforating of such bearings or sockets unnecessary
and avoids the above mentioned defects. It consists in bending or curving the rods
or the ends thereof so as to form bifurcations, bridges or crooks in such a manner
that the connection of the rods with the ball and socket-joints is indirect. Each
such rod may carry-as circumstances may demand either balls at both ends
(Fig. 1) or sockets at both ends (Fig. 2) or a ball at one end and a socket at the
other (Fig. 3) as shown in the accompanying drawings where r is the rod, & the
ball and the socket.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Suspending rods or hangers for sifting machines with ball and socket arrange-
ment to which the form of a bifurcation, bridge or crook is given in order to avoid
the perforating of the sockets substantially as described, each rod bearing either &
ball or a socket at each end or a ball at one end and a socket at the other.

Improvements in the Method of Protecting the Ends of Boiler
Tubes and Tube Plates from Excessive Heat.
We, JAMES BALDWIN, of Devonshire Brass Works, Keighley, in the County of
York, Engineer, and JOHN PARTINGTON, of Water Lane Boiler Works, Bradford,
in the County of York, Boilermaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
For protecting the ends of boiler tubes from excessive heat we make a cap of
asbestos. This cap
is made to project inside the tubes to any desired distance, this
portion of the cap being made tube shaped and of a suitable size, but the outer end
of the cap is turned over sufficiently to allow of the outer edge resting on the tube
plate, giving an air space round the end of the tube. The cap need not necessarily
be made in this form but may be made of any suitable shape.
For protecting the tube ends and the tube plate from excessive heat, we form a
sheet of asbestos, taking the shape of the boiler end, which it is desired to protect,
and in this sheet we form holes having projections on one side, made tube shaped,
for running into the ends of the boiler tubes, such perforations and projections
being of course formed at the requisite distance apart to suit the position of the
boiler tubes.
In the annexed drawings
Fig. 1. shows the cap, A, which is made of asbestos, and which projects inside
the boiler tube B, leaving an air space round the end C. The tube plate is
shown D.
Fig. 2. shows a plan of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3. is the same as Fig. 1 except that the projecting part of the cap which
goes inside the tube B, has an air space round at E.
Fig. 4. shows a covering of asbestos F. over a tube plate G. with tube shaped
projections H. formed in it to correspond with the pitch of the tubes.
Fig. 5 shows a front view of Fig. 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The method of protecting the ends of boiler tubes from excessive heat by
means of suitably shaped caps manufactured of asbestos.
2. The method of protecting tube ends and tube plates of boilers from excessive
heat, by means of perforated sheets, manufactured of asbestos, such sheets having
projections for entering the ends of the tubes.

I FRANK OAKDEN of Dunedin New Zealand Manager of the Milburn Lime
and Cement Company Limited do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My conveyor consists of a barrel A of any desired diameter and length made of
any suitable material preferably sheet iron made either of true cylindrical form
and a screw S of the character of an Archimedian screw secured in any convenient
way to the inner side of the barrel and running throughout the entire length
thereof or carried a short distance beyond either one or both ends of the barrel for
convenience of intake and discharge the screw having a continuous thread winding
spirally at a constant inclination and a corresponding continuous groove and the
screw being so secured to the barrel that it may be readily withdrawn therefrom
for inspection or repairs.
Or else the barrel may be made in such a manner that the screw shall be an
integral part of the barrel itself but the thread of the screw not necessarily
reaching to the centre line of the cylinder.
This barrel mount in bearings of any convenient form preferably rollers R and
the conveyor is worked by being revolved in the said bearings by means of a belt,
gearing or other suitable arrangement. The pitch of the screw may be varied to
suit various different materials.
Any loose material coarse or fine may be conveyed by this my invention more
particularly divided solids such as minerals grain cement and flour.
My conveyor may be worked either horizontally or set at any desired angle.
The material it is desired to convey may be supplied to the screw either at the
centre C the end E or any point between but when not working at the end a portion
of the barrel must be taken away to allow the material to be fed onto the screw.
The material may be delivered to the screw by means of a hopper box or other
suitable arrangement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. In a screw conveyor for any material the barrel or outer casing is revolved
and has an Archimedian screw or thread running continuously through its entire
length and attached to the barrel or casing so that it revolves with it.
2. In a screw conveyor the combination of a barrel working in bearings con-
taining an Archimedian screw or thread running through its entire length or
beyond it and secured to it the whole being revolved together by means of a belt
or gearing applied outwardly.

Improvements in Swivel Rowlocks for Racing or other Boats.
I, JOHN HAWKS CLASPER of No. 1 Rockwood Villas, Putney in the County
of Surrey Boat Builder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The difficulty at the present time of getting either oars or sculls to work
properly together is well known to all rowers, as such a small difference in the set
or lift of the swivel rowlock causes the oar or scull, either to dip too deep into the
water or fly out when the rower catches hold of the water at the beginning of the
stroke, to prevent this, the oars or sculls have frequently to be altered to suit
the set or lift of the swivel rowlock.
My invention is a simple method of altering the set or lift of any swivel
rowlock whilst in or out of the boat. To enable me to do this I employ a moveable.
plate, fitted inside of the swivel, which by turning two small thumb screws, will
alter the set or lift of the swivel rowlock so that the rower is enabled to get
a proper hold of the water. Other means might be adopted for moving the
plate.
