Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Chenille for Carpets or like Pile Fabrics.
Inventor: RENARD CHARLES FERDINAND
Filed: 1903-05-12
Granted: 1904-05-12
Abstract: 10,850. Renard, C. F., and Renard, A. May 12. Chenille; chenille fabrics; carpets.-Relates to the manufacture of tufted yarn or chenille for carpets &c. Tufts of pile yarn 3 are knitted, in the manner shown in Fig. 9, on to pairs of warp threads 2, by apparatus comprising a pair of intermittently-rotating cylinders 5, Fig. 3, each provided with a clamp 8 for holding the ends of the tuft. Several modifications of this application are described. Figs. 5 to 9 illustrate successive stages in the formation of the knot. Fig. 16 shows the general arrangement of the chenille - making machine. The pile thread is laid across the clamps 12 by " distributers " of the usual kind mounted in the groove 62 of the frame, and, after being secured by the clamps 12, is cut into tufts by the knives 33. The tufts are then folded round the warp threads as shown in Figs. 5 to 9, seized by a pair of nippers 65, and moved towards the tubular receiver 81, which may be heated. Above the receiver are other pairs of nippers 35, which are mounted in inclined bearings 37, 38, so that, when they have seized the tufts and are reciprocated, they will pull the tufts tight on the warps. Reciprocating fingers 49 hold part of the loop of the tuft while the latter is being formed, and rising and falling blades 53 press the warp threads together to facilitate the formation of the tuft. Figs. 25, 26, and 27 illustrate the progressive formation of a knot upon a pair of warp threads by looping the warp threads about the pile thread 88 and subsequently tightening the warp threads. Figs. 29 and 30 represent a hand-apparatus for this purpose. The pile thread is passed through an incomplete tube 92, round the ends of which the warp threads 89 are coiled as shown. Figs. 31, 32, and 33 also indicate the movements of a pair of tubular warp holders 101, in looping the warps round the shoulders 99 of a blade so as to form a loop through which the pile thread 109 may be passed. Figs. 38, 39, 40, and 41 represent the several stages in the formation of the knot on a single warp thread. The warp thread is drawn into a loop b, c, d, e, and the pile tuft is folded round the loop and the ends passed through it by hand in a manner similar to that shown in Figs. 5 to 9. The carpets or fabrics produced by the use of the chenille are claimed in the Specification.

Abstract: 21,267. Mercer, T. T., Woolfall, T., and Cherry Tree Machine Co. Oct. 3. Washing-machines.-Relates to reversing-gear for rotary washing-machines. Fig. 1 shows a front view, Fig. 3 a section on the line a-b, Fig. 1, Fig. 5 a vertical section of the part V, Fig. 1, and Fig. 7 a detail. The reversing-gear is as usual three pulleys, one B<1> fast on the shaft A, and two loose pulleys B', B<3>, and two belts, one C open, and the other D crossed. According to this invention, the pulleys are all nearly of the same size, but the pulley B<2> is slightly wider than the others in order that the belt C may always drive it to keep in motion the worm Q and thereby the wormwheel S and lever U by which is operated the means for shifting the belts. The strap guides E', E' are adjustably attached to slide bars G, H respectively. On the underside of the bar G is a forked projection K, of which one part is slightly longer than the other, and on the underside of the bar H is a similar fork L, reversely situated with regard to the fork K. A curved lever N pivoted at M on the frame has its upper end lying between the two bars G, H, and has projecting from opposite sides of it studs O<1>, O<2>, which are adapted to engage respectively with the forked projections K, L. The other end of the lever N carries a stud with a disc-shaped head P which lies in a piece Y, Figs. 5 and 7, having thickened ends Y', Y' with curved surfaces Y<3> adapted to engage with the disc P. The piece Y is placed in an inclined slot W in a box-shaped piece V, which preferably forms part of the lever U and is reciprocated by it, so that the upper and lower ends Y<1>, Y' of the piece Y act alternately on the disc P and cause the lever N to move alternately the slide bars G, H, to shift alternately the belts D, C from the loose pulley to the fast pulley and vice versd, the belts in turn remaining on the fast pulley as long as the ends of the piece Y are not acting on the disc P. Spring studs Z prevent accidental displacement of the bars G, H. The spring handle V<1> serves to withdraw the piece V from the slot W and thereby to stop the action of the reversing-gear. The part V may be replaced by a slotted plate provided with a cross-bridge to carry the axis of the bar Y.

Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 7095. Wellington, J. M., and Daniell, W. F. April 4. Arc lamps. - A lamp of the type described in Specification No. 22,522, A.D. 1904, is modified by arranging the coils or solenoids in the upper part of the casing above the striking and feeding mechanism, by using ratchet or toothed wheels in place of the rack, and by using a single series or shunt coil, solenoid, or thermal wire to regulate the lamp. By arranging the mechanism as shown in Fig. 1, the series and shunt solenoids K, L are removed from the heat of the arc, and the feeding-pawl N exerts a pull on the rack-bar D, the striking-pawl O being arranged as before. In another form of this modification, the feeding-pawl is mounted with its spring n upon an upward extension of the frame M and exerts a push on the rack-bar. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the lamp is shortened by making the pawls O, N act upon a single or double ratchetwheel D, connected to winding drums for two cords both connected to the upper carbon-holder, one from above, the other from below. In the form shown in Fig. 1, either coil may be suppressed, a weight being hung from the end of the lever to which the core of the remaining coil is connected, to cause the carbons to be brought together when current is switched off in the case of a series lamp, and moved apart in the case of a shunt lamp. The lamp shown in Fig. 9 is regulated by a thermal strip R in place of the series coil, but the strip might also take the place of the shunt coil ; the spring may be replaced by a weight.

Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 9239. Dolphin, H. E. May 2. Spray-producers.-In processes in which a corrosive liquid is distributed over a given area, the spraying is effected by bringing the liquid in gushes, by a siphon or otherwise, on to a shallow dish or saucer ; if desired, the saucer may be perforated at the centre and a smaller one placed beneath it and so on in series. In some cases, flat disks or inclined plates may be substituted. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement suitable for the manufacture of copper sulphate. Acid solution flows from the tank A by the pipe B to the vessel C, which is intermittently emptied by the siphon D ; the jet of liquid falls in gushes on a watch-glass or small basin E which is fixed, say, on a shelf F ; the spray is thus distributed over the copper shot in the tower G, and the sulphate solution formed passes by the pipe J and spout K to the vessel L ; air or steam may be passed upwards through the tower. The Provisional Specification also states that the distributing saucers or plates may be used in continuous spraying-arrangements, and that in some cases their edges may be corrugated.
