Title: Improvements in Electric Stop-motions for Drawing Slubbing Intermediate Roving and like Frames.
Inventor: TWEEDALE EDMUND
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 2529. Tweedale, E., and Tweedale, S. Feb. 8. Stop-motions, electric, for drawing, slubbing, roving, &c. frames. The construction avoids breakage of parts in case the stop rod should be held on after the electrically-controlled catch 17 has fallen. The two portions 14, 15, Fig. 1, of a clutch on a shaft 13 are normally held in engagement by a spring 19, or, as shown in Fig. 5, by an internal spring 24, and the part 14 is loose on the shaft, the part 15 being driven by it but capable of sliding thereon. When a thread breaks, an ordinary electrically-controlled catch 17, Fig. 2, falls into the path of a projection 16 on the clutch part 14, arresting this part and causing it to press back the part 15, which thus disengages a pivoted tumbler 21, 8 from a bell-crank lever 7, 4. This lever is loose on a shaft 2, and, when released, is turned by a spring 5, the arm 7 acting on a crank 11 to turn the shaft 2, which carries a crank 3 for actuating the stop rod 1. The clutch part 15 is provided with a projecting surface 18 for lifting the catch 17 after it has acted. When the clutch shaft 13 revolves slowly, the clutch part 14 is provided with a number of projections and the part 15 with a corresponding number of lifting- surfaces so that no delay of the stop-motion occurs after a thread breaks. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the movable part 25 of the clutch is coneshaped and when pressed back by the stoppage of the other part acts directly on the suitably-shaped end 26 of the electrically-controlled catch-lever, to lift it out of action.

Abstract: 3662. Fox, C. Feb. 14, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Elastic-fluid turbines.-Devices for attaching turbine blades, blade supports and expansion-allowing devices, and other details for parallel-flow turbines are shown in the Figures. The blades 4, Fig. 1, are formed on segmental bases 5 fitting in grooves in the blade support 2 and secured to the support by screw studs 10. The studs pass through enlarged apertures in the support to allow the parts to expand. One central stud is a tight fit and acts as a dowel pin. The studs are prevented from falling out by the wall of the casing. The blade supports are attached to the casing by screw studs 13 in enlarged apertures to allow the parts to expand, and gaps are left between the ends of adjacent supports for the same reason. The lowpressure blade supports 36, Fig. 9, are fixed to the casing by screw studs as explained above to allow for expansion, but one central stud 38 fits tightly in the aperture in the blade base and is secured to the blade support by a locking-stud 40. One end of cach high-pressure blade segment is formed with a recess 22, Fig. 3, to allow the part to be withdrawn past the projecting end blade 23 on the adjacent segment. The blades may be secured to their supports by upsetting their edges 26, Fig. 6, of the groove into recesses formed in the base of blade segment. A radial groove 27 is formed in the centre of each segment and metal is forced into it, so that the segment is held there but is free to expand endways. To permit the interior of the drum to be inspected, sight-holes 28, Fig. 8, fitted with caps 29 are formed in the casing.

Abstract: 4339. Moyet, J. B., and Bouvier, H. Feb. 21. Couplings, autonzatic.-Relates to the hook - engaging - hook coupling described in Specification No. 4247, A.D. 1907, and comprises means for allowing relative longitudinal motion between the coupling and the vehicle to which it is attached, and to means for uncoupling the hooks. Each vehicle carries a pair of hooks a, b, arranged with oppositely-directed noses and mounted upon pivots D, carried by tumblers C which are pivoted at A to the drawbar. According to-the present invention, the tumblers are retained in the position for coupling by the engagement of bifurcated lateral extensions of the pivots D with bolts S sliding through guides Z attached to the headstocks. Nuts or similar stops S' upon the rods S limit the motion of the latter, and serve to transmit the tractive force in the event of the breakage of the main drawbar, and detachable pins i are passed through the bolts S in order to secure the pivots D. The hooks a are raised for uncoupling by means of cords or chains passing over rollers to the sides of the vehicle, where they are connected to a sliding- piece K, Fig. 4, carrying spring-pressed catches G, which embrace a nut L adapted to be moved trans.. versely of the vehicle by a screw T. Inclined portions 0 formed on the framing which carries the screw, are arranged, when the screw has been sufficiently rotated, to engage with the catches G, thereby releasing the slide K and allowing the hooks a to fall again into the coupling-position. The springs R, Fig. 1, which control the books a, instead of being connected to the vehicles as described in Specification No. 4247, A.D. 1907, are secured to the draw-bars.

Abstract: 7048. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co.] March 23. Armatures ; field magnets.-Wedges for retaining the conductors in the core slots, particularly adapted for the stators of induction motors, are built up of a number of longitudinal or transverse strips of magnetic material connected together but insulated from each other. In one modification, Figs. 1 and 2, the wedge is built up of alternate laminations a, b of magnetic and non-magnetic material secured by rivets c, the centre portions of the laminµ a being of smaller cross-section than the side portions. The laminae are arranged so that the end strips are of non-conducting material, or small non. conducting washers may be used under the rivet heads. The non-magnetic laminµ may be of fibre, brass, &c. The modification shown in Fig. 3 consists of magnetic strips e, f, preferably subdivided and secured to a backing g of fibre &c. The strips e, f may be made of iron filings or iron wool held together by some non-conducting binding material, such as sodium silicate. The backing g may be made of wood pulp, asbestos, or some other fibre bound together by gelatin chromate &c., and is preferably formed by compression in suitable dies with projecting ribs h and beads i, the latter entering slots formed in the core. The magnetic material e, f is secured to the backing g by compression in a suitable die or mould, and the whole is then dried and, if desired, varnished. Instead of employing fibre &c. for insulating the magnetic strips, these may be oxidized for insulating purposes. In a further modification, the wedge may be formed of a number of laminations of tinned sheet iron soldered together to avoid the use of rivets. According to the Provisional Specification, large wedges may be formed with ventilating-openings, for example by interposing short laminations at several places ; to reduce eddy currents, the wedge may be kerfed at either edge and fibre filling inserted in the kerfs.

Abstract: 13,454. Lees, W. A. June 11. Guards. -In a safety-device for ironing - machines, the movement of the guard-plate o causes disconnexion between the treadle lever i and the spring - controlled belt-shifting rod j so that the rod is released and reverses the machine. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the upper end of lever i is retained in a slot in the plate r carried by rod j, by means of a pair of arms s, s<1> pivoted at t and drawn together by a spring u. The movement of the guard causes, through Bowden wire mechanism w, the partial rotation of a cam v ; this separates the arms and sets the plate r and rod j free from lever i. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, a single pivoted arm s is employed to block the outlet from the slot and so to prevent relative motion between lever i and plate r unless it is pulled aside by the operation of the guard. After actuation, connexion may again be made by lifting the treadle so that the lever i pushes aside the arm s and enters the slot. According to the Provisional Specification, other forms of flexible connexion between the guard and the releasing- device may be employed.
