Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of and means for drawing fabric from the needles of a circular knitting machine
IPC: D04B15/92
Filed: 1955-08-24
Abstract: 811,636. Knitting-machines. HEMPHILL CO. Aug. 24, 1955 [April 12, 1955],No. 24374/55. Class 74 (2). A tube 2 extends from within the interior of the needle cylinder of a circular machine and is coupled at its extremity to a fan 5 which causes air to be sucked through the tube and thereby draw the knitted fabric downwardly from the needles. In the case of stockings which are cast off after completion a receptacle 3 of a diameter larger than that of the tube is provided to receive the completed stocking after it has been cast off. A grill 9 is provided across the receptacle to prevent the stocking entering the fan. A hand- or mechanically-operated cover or covers closes or close an opening in the lower portion of the receptacle and through which the stocking falls into a container 23. Switches co-operate with the covers to switch off the fan when the covers are opened. The diameter of the tube may be varied in its length to vary the drag on the fabric as it is produced. In addition the flow of air may be restricted to vary the drag on the fabric during the knitting of the stocking. Arches 11, Fig. 7, of wire or other material inclined to the vertical but in the direction of rotation of the needle cylinder hold the fabric away from the surface of the tube at its upper end and permit air to pass on both faces of the fabric. The inclination of the arches 11 tends to cause the fabric to move downwardly within the tube. Alternatively where a cup 51 and cap 52 take down mechanism is employed within the needle cylinder, air may be sucked through openings 55 in a hollow shaft 54 from within the cup 51 to draw the initial courses and welt of the stocking into the cup after which the cap is lowered and grips the fabric and the cap and cup proceed downwardly to draw off the stocking from the needles. Sinkerless knitting is also achieved by the use of the air under suction drawing down the fabric, stationary loopholders being provided intermediate the needles and the casting off being done by the action of the air dragging on the fabric. Specification 686,432 and U.S.A. Specification 2,275,276 are referred to.

Title: Electric power transmission by means of underground cables
IPC: B29C41/04
Filed: 1930-08-15
Abstract: 360,090. Protective cut-out arrangements. ECONOMIC TRANSMISSIONS, Ltd., 33, Waterloo Street, Birmingham, and TAYLOR, A. M., Inkford House, Wythall, near Birmingham. Aug. 15, 1930, Nos. 24450/30 and 16963/31. [Class 38 (v).] Relates to the adaption of a 4-phase transmission system to an existing two-cable, six-conductor 3-phase system in which currents are stepped up from a low-pressure at the generating station end by means of Scott-connected transformers and are stepped down at the substation end. According to the invention, two of the conductors (a and d), one in each cable, are reserved as neutrals and also as spare stand-by conductors to the four working conductors b, c, e, f of the 4-phase system and switching means are provided whereby when one of the working conductors develops a fault it is cut out of circuit at both ends and one of the stand-by neutrals is used as a working conductor instead. If, for example, conductor b becomes faulty the resulting lack of balance between the interconnected current transformers CT2 and CT4 operates a relay SR2 to open a circuit-breaker OCB1/2 in the point of connection of the two phases 1, 2 with the neutral bus-bar. The neutral conductors a, d now carry current and the three E.M.F.'s developed by the three transformers CTe, CTf, and CTNd in the sound phases and in the neutral at the substation end are now additive and adequate to operate the relay MR2 which trips the circuit-breaker OCB11/2 at the substation end. The " quarter-phase " system one phase of which is faulty is thus isolated and the sound quarterphase 3, 4 may supply the load for a time. During this emergency supply, the association of one of the neutrals in the same cable with a load core, the two being in 180‹ phase association with one another, avoids the development of stray magnetic fields. The remaining operations may be effected manually on telephonic instructions from the generating station or automatically. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, the trip rails TCNa and TC2a2 are operated at both ends of the line thereby substituting the neutral cable a for the faulty cable b on phase 2, 2<1>. Then the circuit-breakers OCB1/2 are reclosed and the transmission restored. Specification 327,799, [Class 38 (v), Electric switches &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 972,308. Guiding webs transversely. JOHN DALGLISH & SONS Ltd. Oct. 11, 1962 [July 11, 1961], No. 25021/61. Heading B6B. A device for guiding travelling webs to pin stenters is of the kind in which the edge of the web is guided by a wheel carried by a pivotally mounted bracket adapted to pivot so as to maintain the wheel in contact with the web edge automatically through the intermediary of a control responsive to a detector which signals any deviation of the edge of the web from a datum. The guide wheel 13 is of relatively small diameter to those usual in such devices and a second guide wheel 14 also of small diameter is carried by the bracket 10 immediately ahead of the wheel 13 in relation to the web travel. The diameter of the wheels may be approximately 2 inches and the wheel 13 may have a peripheral surface of rubber. The peripheral surface of each guide wheel 13, 14 may be provided with rows of fine short rigid pins (not shown). A third guide wheel (not shown) having a rubber peripheral face may be mounted on the bracket 10 above and between the wheels 13 and 14. The edge detector comprises a box 16 having window 17 and supporting a mirror 18. A light source 19 and photocell 20 are located above opposite ends of the mirror. Variations in the amount of light reaching the cell 20 due to deviation of the web edge from a predetermined datum varies the output of the cell which controls a larger output amplifier (not shown) which controls a servomotor (not shown). The servomotor controls the rotation of a shaft 11 secured to the bracket 10. A stenter rail (not shown) moves laterally in an appropriate direction when the bracket 10 pivots beyond predetermined limits under the control of two cam-actuated micro switches in circuit with an electric motor which actuates the stenter rail.
