Abstract: 17,863. Maggiora, D., and Sinclair, M. July 31. Rotary machines motors, controlling.-A motor having a single rotary member is provided with adjusting means for enabling it to be run off any supply system, whether alternating or direct current of any voltage or frequency, so that the power given out by the motor is practically constant. A series of stationary electro-magnets 10 ... 17, are energized so as to rotate an armature 19 having inclined blades 21. The coils of the electro-magnets are connected, through a distributing-switch 18, to contact-breakers 25, 26 having rollers 22 depressed in succession by a rotating cam having as many projections as there are blades 21. The coils 10, 11, 12, 13 have a large number of turns of fine wire, and the coils 14, 15, 16, 17 have a small number of turns of thick wire. When a direct current is used, each pair of coils 10,14 ; 11, 15 ; 12, 16 ; 13, 17 is put in series by means of the switch 18; with alternating- current the coils are put in parallel. In operation, a diametrically opposite pair of coils is energized at the same time, and co-operates with the pair arranged at right-angles thereto. Instead of connecting the coils in parallel and series according to the voltage and frequency of an alternating current supply, an auto-transformer 30, Fig. 13, may be used, with tappings 35, 36 on the primary side and tappings 38 on the secondary side. Only four electro-magnet coils 31, 32, 33, 34 are employed, and are connected to the tappings 38 through the contact-breakers 25, 26. The motors may be used for driving talking-machines, clocks, fans, &c.

Abstract: 30,233. Helliwell, R. B., and Helliwell, J. S. Dec. 24. [Cognate Application, 14,989/10.] Abrading - compositions ; soaps, materials for making.-An abrading or polishing powder is obtained by calcining coke derived from cannel coal, and powdering and grading the resulting material. The calcining - chamber, Fig. 5, consists of a brickwork tank A with a metal lining A1. A wood fire is lighted in the centre, the tank is charged with the coke, and then a roof A, of corrugated iron is placed over the chamber, the end spaces of the roof allowing of the admission of air in such quantities as will allow of slow combustion only. One form of apparatus for reducing the resulting product to powder comprises a rotating inclined drum B, Fig. 1, provided with lifting bars B1, and mounted on rollers D. The powder is removed from the drum by an air blast from a fan F and collects in various grades in a hopper L1 and on removable shelves K1; any lumps that remain collect in a hopper L. The apparatus is mounted in a chamber having a roof K3 made of fabric. Another form of apparatus comprises a reciprocating sieve M, Fig. 3, mounted on radius bars M,. The powder passes through the sieve and is directed by hoppers O, O1 on to a travelling band P which throws it forward as the belt turns over the pulley P2, the powder being collected in boxes V1 &c.

The hinged door 1<2> of the metal box 1 is arranged so that, when unfastened, it falls against the handle 10 and opens the switch. The joint around the door may be packed to render the switch weather-proof. A similar construction is applicable to single-pole switches.

Abstract: 21,679. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Sept. 19. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-In conjunction with a rotary feeder, a stationary magazine having upper and lower pairs of parallel and inclined supports F<4>, F<5>, Fig. 1, connected by uprights F<2>, F<3> is used, projections a<11> on the tops of removable upright skeleton cages A, each holding several bobbins, resting on ledges f<2> on the upper supports, so that the cages can slide along the inclined supports into guideways in the supports F<3>, between which they drop down step by step, the bobbins being successively removed from a cage, and transferred into the rotary feeder by an inserter H, h<2> operated by the transferrer C. Fingers g<1>, g<2> on a fixed arm G engage beneath the lowest bobbin in a cage, and thus support the cage until the last bobbin has been removed therefrom, whereupon the cage leaver the magazine and another cage comes into action. The elongated upper edge h<1> of the inserter engages the bobbin next above the one being inserted into the rotary feeder, and temporarily supports this bobbin. The cages comprise rectangular frames having seats a<1>, Fig. 4, at one end for the bobbin butts, and a cross-bar a<2> provided with seats a<3> and spring latches a' for the bobbin tips, the weft ends passing around notches a<6> in the end a<5> of the frame and being held by light spring clips a<7>. A disk on the rotary feeder is provided with spring wire weft-holders m<1>, m<3>, m<4> having sharpened tips m<6> to engage the weft ends on the cages, whereby the weft ends are disengaged from holders on the cages and held clipped by parts of the wire holders in a groove m in the disk M. After the weft ends have been cut, the severed ends hanging down from the wire holders are automatically removed by means of a segmental plate 75, which normally just clears the bends m<3> of two or more of the wire holders. When the transferrer is depressed, a cam-lug engages the bevelled end of a rod carrying the plate 75, thus moving the rod and plate 75 laterally against spring action, the plate 75 engaging the bends m<3> and pushing the corresponding wire holders outwards to release any weft ends hanging therefrom.

Abstract: 22,251. Waddington, J. S. Sept. 26. Rotary filters. - Liquids, such as water and grease, are removed from sewage by passing it through a rotary perforated drum 2, lined internally with felt or other fabric and enclosed in a cistern 1, and impelling the liquids through the drum 2 by jets 10 of steam from a pipe.9. The expelled liquids pass away by pipes 11 to a trough 12, and the solid material passes from the drum to a hopper 13 and thence by swing doors 14 to a drying-chamber 16, where the material is dried upon heated travelling bands 15. If the sewage contains a large proportion of liquid, some of the latter may be removed by passing the sewage through a perforated drum 19 lined with felt &c. and injecting compressed air through a pipe 20 before the material passes by a pipe 5 to the drum 2. The material may be moved forward to the drum 2 by a jet of steam or compressed air through the pipe S.

The lower end of the yarn upon one cop is tied to the upper end of the yarn upon the next cop, the cops being rotated after the tying is effected to take up the slack yarn. From the cop, the yarn passes through a forked guide or clearer i, which is open at its upper end, to a tension device comprising a wire l mounted at one end upon a rod k and disposed parallel to the rod, the tension of the yarns being adjusted by turning the rod k or by moving the wires l round the rod by means of a rod n, Fig. 7, which is connected to each wire by a crankarm m. The clearers i and the wires l are approximately the same length as the guides c. The wire l may be bent back upon itself, as shown in Fig. 5.

Abstract: 29,151. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Dec. 28. Change-box motions. - Head motions or dohbies of the Hollingworth and Knowles type for operating the drop-boxes are provided with an ordinary peg pattern chain 30, which acts on indicator levers 36 pivoted on a shaft 37 and provided with adjustable screws 38 to engage fingers 26. These fingers are pivoted to levers 27, which are pivoted on a shaft 13 and are provided with rolls 28 to engage runs 7<1> on the vibrator-gear levers 2. When an indicator lever 36 is held raised, its screw 38 allows the corresponding finger 26 to fall, so that an oscillating knife-bar 25 can engage the 'notched end 26<1> of this finger and thereby oscillate the corresponding lever 27, the run 28 on which then raises the vibrator lever to cause the vibrator wheel to gear with the upper gear 3. If the lever 36 now falls, the end 36<2> thereof engages a rib 26<2> on the finger 26 and returns it to the left, so that the vibrator lever is lowered, the screw 38 raising the finger 26 out of the path of the knife-bar 25. The knife-bar 25 is carried by arms 24 on a shaft 21 provided with levers 20, which are rocked by means of a rod 18<a>, slide 17, and a roll 15 engaged by a cam 14. The levers 20 are connected by upright bars 41 to a transverse bar 40 extending under the levers 36, which are thus all raised periodically to allow a peg to pass under them. Links 42 pivoted to the bars 41 serve to hold the bar 40 in correct position. The levers 36 extend between pins 39<1> in a comb-bar 39. The pattern-cylinder shaft is driven from the lower gear shaft 6.
