Inventor: JACKSON FREDERICK
IPC: D06C15/00
Filed: 1909-05-19
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 11,820. Jackson, F. May 19. Right to Patent relinquished. Yarns, calendering and polishing.-Fat or grease is supplied to machines for treating or polishing yarns by means of pads or rollers, which are moved back and forth over the surface of one or more rollers of the machine, or by means of a roller which rotates in contact with, but at a different surface speed from, a roller of the machine. An arm c, which carries the pad or roller and forms a conduit for the grease, is oscillated by means of a crank-disk e operated from the bottom roller, and rotates a nut by means of a lever and ratchet-wheel p, so as to move a piston in the cylinder which contains the grease, in order that the amount of grease supplied shall vary with the speed of the roller. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 7, a roller w is rotated by worm gearing from the bottom roller, and is supplied with grease from the pipe c. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the pipe may form the axis of the roller, which is perforated and covered with flannel.

Title: Improvements in Combined Trolley Wire Hangers and Automatic Circuit Breakers.
Inventor: WINTERS ROGER GEORGE
IPC: B60M1/18
Filed: 1910-02-11
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 3383. Winters, R. G. Feb. 11. Mechanical cut-outs for overhead wires. A combined trolly-wire support and electric cutout is constructed by securing shafts 2 on a central body 1 of insulating - material and mounting the contact-pieces 4, in which the ends of the conductors are secured by set-screws 10, on these shafts 2 so as to be capable of sliding axially and rotating thereon. These contact-pieces are bent at the upper ends 7, and, when in the normal vertical position make contact with, and complete the circuit through, a conducting-plate 8. The lower edges of these pieces are rounded off, and the joining face 6 is inclined to the length of the conductor so as to afford an even running track for the trollywheel. The tension of the conductors keeps these contact-pieces in the out position but, should one break, the compressed spring 17 on the shaft 2 forces the contact-piece inwards, and then the pin 12 fixed in the shaft 2 acts in the curved slot 11 and rotates the piece so as to break the connexion at the plate 8. A spring-pressed dog 13 prevents the arms from swinging back into the vertical position when once the circuit is broken. The slots are so curved as to force the members to turn in opposite directions so that, should both section wires break together, the lower ends of the arms could not touch. The device is suspended from side strainers by eyes 21; guard-plates 20 protect the mechanism from jumping a trollywheel; and the whole device may be protected by a hood 19.

Abstract: 20,824. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Sept. 7. Weft-replenishing mechanism.- Relates to feeler mechanism of the type described in Specification 3271/10, wherein a spring - controlled reciprocatory feeling - slide 7 and a second feeler or angle lever 16 pivoted thereon are employed, the weft on the bobbin engaging the wedge-shaped end 7<1> of the slide 7 during the forward movement of the lay and moving the slide 7 to the front with the feeler 16, which is connected to a spring-controlled shaft 20, so that if sufficient weft is present to engage the feeler 16 and prevent it from rotating, the shaft is turned, whilst, otherwise, the feeler rotates and the shaft remains stationary, whereupon the replenishing-mechanism is operated. The feeler 16, Figs. 2 and 4, is made adjustable relatively to the feeler 7, with respect to the bobbin, by mounting its hub 16<3> loosely on a bushing 25 having an eccentrically-located bore engaged by a screw-headed bolt 26 with a flattened side, this bolt being turned by means of a.handle or indicator 28 to adjust the bushing and move the feeler 16 to or from the bobbin, after which a nut 27 is tightened on the bolt to secure it in its adjusted position. The engaging end 16<1> of the feeler may be made separate and of vulcanized fibre, and be detachably secured by rivets 17 within the hollow end of the angle-lever 16.

Abstract: 28,818. Cox, F. J., and Machine Gas, Ltd. Dec. 12. Carburetting.-In an air-gas apparatus, the air to be carburetted is passed through a chamber the pressure within which is varied according to the consumption of gas by means of a pressure-relief valve, such variation of pressure being arranged to cause the actuation of valves controlling the supplies of air and liquid to the carburettor. Air is admitted at a<2> to a casing a having an outlet a<4> to the carburettor and an outlet a<3> provided with a sliding valve c connected with the gas holder by links i<1>, j. A flexible diaphragm b in the casing a is connected to valves d, h controlling the air passage a<4> and the liquid-supply pipe h' respectively. The links or the relation between them and the valves may be adjustable. On the rise or fall of the gas-holder, the valve c is more or less opened or closed and the consequent variation in pressure in the chamber a causes the movement of the diaphragm b and that of the valves d, h. In a modification, the valve d is replaced by a valve working within a fixed casing having ports and communicating with the carburettor.

Abstract: 1441. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Jan. 19. Amino sulphonic acids.-Compounds are produced by condensing nitrobenzoylhalides with aminosulphonic acids that do not contain hydroxy groups, and with the exception of pphenylenediaminesulphonic acid, and then reducing the condensation products. The sulphonic acids used are only those which themselves have no affinity for vegetable fibre, but which give rise, after the above-described condensation and reduction, to compounds which are absorbed by the fibre and can be diazotized and developed thereon. In one example a product is obtained from diaminodiphenylurea disulphonic acid and p-nitrobenzoyl chloride, which when diazotized on the fibre can be combined with #-naphthol and 1-phenyl-3-methyl- 5-pyrazolone. In a second example a product is obtained from diaminostilbenedisulphonic acid and m-nitrobenzoylchloride, which can be diazotized on the fibre and developed with #-naphthol. Other sulphonic acids may be used such as 1:4:6-acetylnaphthylenediamine sulphonic acid, and the sulphonic acids of benzidine, tolidine, dianisidine, benzidinesulphone, aminoazobenzene, and toluylenediamines.

Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 10,637. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 2. Lasts.-To dispense with insole tacks in the manufacture of boots and shoes, a last is fitted with pivoted prongs 8, 14, adapted to be moved to engage the insole. These prongs project through slots in a plate flush with the sole of the last, and are connected by a link 18 for simultaneous actuation by means of a spring- pressed rod 20. The prongs are shaped so that, as they enter the insole, they draw it close to the last, and by moving in opposite directions they also tend to stretch the material of the insole between them. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a hinged last, which is fitted with a pivoted slotted link 26 for locking the last in its expanded position; the rod 20 engages this link, so that, when the prongs are withdrawn from the insole, the locking-device is also released.
