Title: Improvements in or relating to Looms in which the Weft is Drawn from a Stationary Spool.
Inventor: GRAF EMIL
IPC: D03D47/40
Filed: 1909-05-26
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 12,472. Graf, E. May 26. Weft-insertersother thanshuttles, looms with. -Selvedge-shuttle and weft-tension devices are mounted at one end of the lay. The weftinserter causes one part c, Fig. 1, of the loop of weft to pass through a gap in a circular selvedge shuttle d, in which the bobbin m is mounted with its axis at right-angles to, and intersecting, the axis of rotation of the shuttle. A rod e is raised or lowered by an eccentric, and, through a pin f thereon engaging slots h, g<1> in a toothed segment i and a fixed plate g respectively, causes the segment and the toothed circular shuttle d to rotate and lap the selvedge thread k round the weft c, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3. As the lay moves forwards and the weft-inserter is withdrawn, the slackened thread k is drawn into the shed by the weft until a lever, pivoted on the lay and connected by a pin-and-slot to a rod fixed to the breast beam, or operated in any other manner, acts through a lever r<4> to turn a tensioning-device r outwards, so that the thread k engaged by the device, and also the weft loop, are tightened at the beat-up, the tensioning-device being then in the position shown by dotted lines r<2>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Boot Polishing Stands.
IPC: A47L23/16
Filed: 1909-06-18
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 14,328. Day & Martin, and Jones, N. C. June 18. Rests, foot.-In a boot-black's stand provided with means for automatically registering the number of customers, an automatically operated catch is employed for preventing false registratioos. The pressure of the heel depresses a spring-supported plunger 2 which is connected with the shaft of a counter. In one method of carrying out the invention a sliding spring-controlled bolt 15 actuated by the depression of a second plunger 22 in the toe portion of the stand is arranged to lock the first plunger until the foot is entirely removed. In another method, the foot is held to the stand by interlocking pivoted clasps, which are released by hand at the end of the operation. Instead of a counter, a record strip driven by clock-work and marked by a pencil may be employed.

Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 15,193. Soc. Franþaise d'Incandescence par le Gaz (SystÞme Auer). July 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Modifying chemical characters of metals.- In making metallic filaments of niobium, vanadium, titanium, or the like, a final heating to whiteness, after decarbonization, takes place in a mixture of hydrogen and ammonia, optionally containing a little oxidizing or sulphuretting gas, to reduce the filaments to metal; if, as with tungsten, molybdenum, and thorium filaments, the heating is in hydrogen alone, suboxides are obtained. Filaments are squirted from a paste preferably consisting of lower oxides, to which higher oxides and lamp black may be added, and are heated until conductive, either in air below a red heat, or to red heat in the absence of air, for instance in hydrogen which may contain oxidizing-gases. The filaments are decarbonized at a red heat in an oxidising or sulphuretting gas mixture or nitrogen. For the final heating, a mixture of hydrogen and ammonia is used, at or below atmospheric pressure, the filaments being heated to about 1800‹ C. The application to filaments of tungsten, molybdenum, and thorium is -disclaimed, and Specification 12,720/08, [Class 39, Electric lamps &c.], is referred to. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following subject-matter:-The process may be applied to making other bodies than lamp filaments of niobium, vanadium, titanium, or the like. Filaments when made from a paste containing nitrides may be decarbonized in an atmosphere consisting mainly of hydrogen. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Bottling.-In a rotary-table bottling-machine in which the bottle supports are raised to the filling-devices by counterweights which, during the rotation of the machine, are lifted up on to a guide rail which keeps them inoperative during the changing of the bottles, the counterweights are lifted on to the guide-rail by means operated in accordance with, but independent of, the horizontally rotating parts of the machine. In one form, Fig. 1, the counterweights e are lifted on to a guide-rail k by a lever g pivoted so as to be capable of a limited lateral movement and adapted to be raised by a cam i on a shaft h. In another form, Fig. 5, a helical cam m, mounted on a shaft h and situated below the path of the counterweights e, lifts each counterweight in turn and places it upon the guide-rail k. In both forms, one weight is lifted for each revolution of the shaft h.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Steering and balancing by pendulums controlling the valves of fluid-pressure servo-motors connected to warping or pivoted planes. Provision is also made for manual adjustment with or without the help of the motors. For lateral balance the weighted lever 10 is elastically connected to the spindle of the rotary valve 12 of the motor 13, which may be operated by oil from the lubricating-pump of the propelling- motor. The piston-rod is connected to the balancing-planes by the cord 17, sprocket-wheel 16, and cords 18. The sprocket-wheel is provided with a hand-wheel 15. Movement of the piston is adapted to close the valve independently of the pendulum 10 by means of the rod 14 connected to one of the members of the valve. To adjust the normal lateral pose of the machine, a hand-lever 11 is also connected to this member of the valve. Simultaneous adjustment of the lateral-balancing means with the operation of the vertical rudder is effected by a handwheel 22 connected to the rudder by cable 21 and to the valve 12 by worm 23, and casing 19 containing two opposed damping - springs, attached to the valve spindle. The rudder can be independently actuated by a foot-lever. Longitudinal balance is effected by a lever 1 weighted at 1<a>, pivoted at 2<1>, and connected to a motor valve at 3. The piston actuates the valve by a rod 5. To adjust the longitudinal pose of the machine and to alter its course, the pivot 2<1> of the lever 1 can be displaced fore and aft by the hand-lever 2 to which the lever 1 is pivoted. A hand-wheel 6 is provided as before.

Abstract: 27,212. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Dec. 5. Commutating and compensating windings.- The commutating field of a direct - current machine is automatically decreased as the speed of the machine is increased, and vice versa. In one arrangement, commutating-pole windings connected in series with the armature are shunted by a resistance, which is varied by a centrifugal governor in such a manner that as the speed increases more current is diverted through the resistance; or, in a Ward-Leonard set, the resistance may be varied by a member linked with the controller of the set. According to Fig. 2, the commutating poles may be provided with an auxiliary winding z opposing the main commutating winding w, the winding z being excited by a machine h directly or indirectly driven by the main machine a. The field winding e of the machine h may be connected in series with the machine a, or it may be shunted across the winding w, or across the compensating winding. Alternatively, the winding z may be dispensed with, and the armature of the machine h may be shunted across the winding w through a resistance r, Fig. 5. The auxiliary machine h may be provided with an extra field-magnet winding which opposes the winding c and is connected either across the armature terminals of the machine h or is in series with the armature of the latter. The arrangements are applicable to machines un-' provided with salient commutating poles but furnished with distributed compensating windings. The variation of the commutating field may be effected by means of displaceable commutating-poles.
