Abstract: 23,470. Frings, M. May 26, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Yarns, mercerizing.-The hanks are stretched over pairs of rollers 2, 6 projecting from each side of the machine. The upper rollers are fixed in position, but are rotated so as to move the hanks upon the rollers, while the lower rollers are carried by a weighted frame so that they can be lowered into or removed from a vat 14. The rollers are separated so as to stretch the hanks by a screw- and-nut arrangement 84,85. Three driving-pulleys are used. The first is fast on the shaft, and drives the upper rollers 2 ; the second is mounted on a sleeve, and drives the cam shaft 45 ; while the third pulley is entirely loose. The vat 14 is provided with a drain pipe 17, for the caustic soda, which communicates with a recuperating-tank 19 containing soda crystals, and connected with a centrifugal pump 22 by which the soda may be forced into the vat 14. It also has another drain pipe 20, 65, for the washing-water, part of which is flexible so that the extremity thereof may be moved over either of two adjoining tanks to receive respectively the water which contains a comparatively large amount of soda and that which contains but little of the same. The vat is also provided with an overflow pipe which communicates with the soda-recuperating tank 19. The shaft 13, which carries the weighted frame of the lower rollers 6, is connected with the strap fork 26 of the pump 22, with a "watershed" " 80 for preventing the spreading of the washing-water, and with levers connected with a handle 12. Along the machine, both inside and outside the hanks, are water-spraying pipes 50, 49. The cam shaft 45 is provided with cams for operating the strap fork 37, the water valve 48, the valves of the two sets of drain pipes, the levers for moving the pipe 20 from side to side, and a catch for releasing the mechanism of an alarm gong. A set of hanks being finished, the screw mechanism 84, 85 is operated so as to allow the lower rollers to rise and slacken the hanks, this movement operating a system of levers 31 whereby the hanks are raised from the vat, and also moving the pump strap on to the fast pulley so that soda is pumped into the vat during the time the finished hanks are replaced by fresh ones. The lower rollers are now depressed into the vat by operating the lever 12, and stretched by operating the screw 84, and the machine is started. After a certain interval, the valve which allows the soda to drain into the tank 19 is opened, and the movement of the hanks is stopped to allow them to drain ; after another interval, the valve of the soda drain pipe is closed, that of the water drain pipe opened, and also the valve of the water spraying pipes. The first portion of the washing-water is collected separately from the other, the pipe 20 being moved at the proper time in a lateral direction. Finally, the strap fork 37 is operated so as to move the strap on to the loose pulley, and the alarm gong is sounded.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Coin-freed and other Apparatus for use in Cleaning Tobacco Pipes.
Inventor: PYKE FREDERICK ARTHUR
Filed: 1903-04-11
Granted: 1904-04-11
Abstract: 8374. Pyke, F. A. April 11. Tobacco-pipe cleaners.-Prepayment of a coin or token allows the use of an air pump a, carried on a casing d by means of a pivoted bracket a'. The bowl of the pipe being put on the end-piece k of the pump, the material in it is discharged through the mouthpiece into the well of the casing. The pump may, however, have the end-piece shown in Fig. 12, with rubber packing s to take the stem of the pipe. Coin action.-In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the coin inserted through a slot g<1> thrusts a notched latch e from an arm f on the pump, and, in the arrangement shown in Fig. 9, the coin g thrusts aside a lever p<1> to make a valve q close an escape orifice. Coin-discharging mechanism.-Turning the pump of Fig. 3 into a horizontal position tilts the latch sufficiently to let the coin escape. According to Fig. 9, the coin abuts against a disc p<2> and is supported by an arm q<3> with bent end q<18>, hinged to the valve lever. At each stroke of the pump, a rod m having a pawl m<2> for a toothed wheel m<3> turns the disc, and, at the end of a revolution, a bevelled lug p<5>, encountering a lug q<4> on the supporting arm, disengages it from the coin. When the pump is laid down again a hook o<3> trips a pawl o<2> from a ratchet pinion o<1> and a spring reverses the disc. Fraud, preventing.-with the arrangement of Fig. 3, a wheel is operated in opposition to a spring, as in the arrangement of Fig. 9, but, at the end of a revolution, it opens an escape valve. Further rotation is prevented by the absence of a tooth, and the pump must accordingly be put back into the locked position in order that a pawl may be tripped as in the arrangement of Fig. 9.
