Patent GB-191126957-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Weft-feeler Devices for Looms.
Inventor: JACKSON SIMEON SCHOON
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1911-12-01
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 26,957. Jackson, S. S. Dec. 1. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-A weft-feeler 18, Figs. 1 and 2, is pressed forwards along a stand 19 by a spring 23, and is normally pressed backwards by the weft on a bobbin 15, thereby preventing the engagement of an adjustable contact-piece 32 on the feeler with a lug 31 on a spring-controlled dog 27 pivoted on the lay. When substantial weft-exhaustion occurs, the lug 31 engages the contact-piece 32, and the dog 27 is thereby rocked sufficiently to enable it, when the lay continues to advance, to engage and actuate an arm 36 on the controller rock-shaft.. A change in the working of the loom, such as stoppage, automatic weftreplenishment, or both, is then brought about. An arrangement of controller and associated parts is mentioned as being described in Specification 23,372/08. When the lay beats up with the shuttle absent from the shuttle box, the dog 27 is rocked by the contact-piece 32 to such an extent that the acting end of the dog passes entirely above the notched end of the arm 36, so that the arm is not actuated. The extent to which the feeler enters the empty box is limited by the engagement of a screw 38 on the feeler with the front plate 9.

Abstract: 8906. Schmidt, W. April 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Exhaust, treating.-Steam is drawn off from an engine cylinder for heating and other purposes under the control of a valve which opens automatically at a predetermined pressure, and a check valve which closes at a lower pressure. The valve h, controlling an annular passage g leading to a pipe f, is opened when the pressure in the cylinder falls sufficiently, by a piston i acted on by a spring l, the tension of which is adjusted by a screw t. The valve is closed by compression steam from the other end of the cylinder admitted by a pipe q and valve r to act on the piston i. This compression steam leaks back through a passage in the face of the valve r. A check valve n closes when the pressure in the main cylinder falls to a predetermined limit.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] [Addition to 22,108/05.] Taximeters; minimum-fare, devices for adjusting.-Setting to minimum fare precedes the lowering of the flag and is effected by the movement of a handle A, Figs. 1 and 2, which is mounted on a shaft B adapted to rotate a shaft F through an arm C, a pawl D, and a ratchetwheel E. The movement of the shaft F is communicated by gear-wheels G, H, J, a clutch K, M and wheels L, N to the indicator drum. Varying movement of the handle A is stated to vary the minimum fare registered. Simultaneously with the rotation of the shaft F an arm 0 on the shaft B moves upward, through a pin and slot, a slide R, and removes one arm of a double pawl X from the front of a stop Z while the other arm is moved into position to engage the stop and limit the movement of the drum. The slide is held in the raised position by a spring catch a engaging a stop R' on the slide. Movement of the flag to the engaged position causes a cam h on the flag-shaft I to slide, through levers f, O<1>, a shaft V endways and thus move the pawl X away from the stop. Resetting-mechanism, arrangement of.-Movement of the flag to " free " causes a pin i on the shaft I to press back the spring b and remove the catch a to allow the slide R to resume the lowered position, the shaft V also returning to its original position. Fare totalizers.-The number of actuations of the handle A is registered on a counter P through an arm q on the shaft A which engages a lever t serving to operate the counter. Multiple-tariff.-The drive may be from either the clock or the vehicle, two tariffs being provided for each, and the time drive being through one of two different-sized wheels 5, 6, Fig. 5, loose on a sleeve 2.

[Cognate Application, 23,954/13.] Projectiles.-Relates to projectiles which are provided with an igniter for balloon gases, and also with arms which open out after the projectile is discharged and are arrested by the envelope of the balloon. According to the invention, the projectile is made with one or more passages for supplying air into the inner balloon and gas into the outer envelope, if any, to form explosive mixtures, which are ignited by the igniter carried by the projectile. In the form shown in Fig. 1, when the projectile hits the balloon, it is held thereto by the arms 26, and an air blower 11 driven by an electric or other motor forces air through a passage 7 into the inner balloon y, while gas from the inner balloon escapes through a second passage 8 and holes 21 into the outer envelope x ; when an explosive mixture is formed and escapes by a nozzle 16, it is ignited by a platinum-black or other igniter 17. A non-return valve 23 may be arranged in the front end of the passage 7; the nose of the projectile may have flutings 25 to facilitate its penetration and the flow of gases. The electric motor is started by a switch 14 which is closed when released from the wall of the cartridge and the gun barrel. The sockets to which the arms 26 are pivoted may be screwed to the projectile at various distances from its nose according to the extent to which it is desired that the projectile shall penetrate into the balloon.
