Title: Improvements in Counting Mechanism for Contents Bills and similar Printing Machines.
Inventor: READ GEORGE FRANCIS
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 1463. Read, G. F. Jan. 21. Delivery apparatus for delivering contents bills &c. in counted batches comprises counting mechanism, which normally moves regularly, but at fixed intervals undergoes an exaggerated movement which causes the delivery table to be oscillated in order that successive counted batches may be received in staggered form. The counting - mechanism consists of a ratchet-wheel i mounted on a shaft h and normally rotated step-by-step by a pawl reciprocated by a bell-crank k, which is actuated by an eccentric m and gearing n, o, p synchronized with the delivery mechanism. A fixed guard-plate q, which covers a portion of the wheel i, prevents the pawl j from rotating the wheel i until just at the end of its stroke, when the pawl enters a tooth of the wheel i. After a certain number of bills have been delivered, the pawl engages an enlarged tooth r, which projects beyond the plate q, and a greater movement than usual is given to the wheel i and shaft h. Simultaneously, a grooved cam on the shaft h actuates a lever c connected by a link e to a delivery table a, and the table is moved on guide-rods b. When another counted batch has been delivered, the table is returned to its original position.

Title: Improvements in Weft Feelers for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: WEBER WERNER
Filed: 1908-10-17
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 21,993. Weber, W. Oct. 17. Loom weft-replenishing mechanism; stop-motions.-A weft-feeler arrangement comprises two parallel fingers 5 mounted on a slide 2 on the breast beam. The slide 2 carries a pivoted finger 9 arranged between the fingers 5. The end of the finger 9 is serrated and does not extend so far rearwards as the ends of the fingers 5 by about the thickness of the weft thread. When there is more than one winding of thread on the bobbin, the fingers 5 pierce the bobbin, during the beat-up, sufficiently to cause the finger 9 to grip the thread ; but when the weft is almost exhausted, the finger 9 is turned on its pivot by a spring 8. The tail of the finger 9 then presses back an arm 13, on a shaft 12, as the spring- controlled slide 2 is pressed back during the beatup. The spring-controlled shaft 12 is thus turned, and a cam 14 on its end allows a tongue 18 to fall into the path of the weft hammer 21, which causes either the loom to stop or the bobbin or shuttle to be automatically changed. A stop 11 prevents rotation of the finger 9 when the weft-feeler is not in contact with the bobbin, and a stop 22 limits the rotation of the shaft 12.
