Abstract: 5665. Justice, P. M., [Bethlehem Steel Co.]. March 7. Mountings.- Relates to manually - operated variable - speed elevating a n d training mechanism, and consists in providing a foot - operated clutch for throwing into action different sets of gear without discontinuance of the motion of the operating handwheel. The driveshaft 23, which is connected to either the training or the elevating gear, can be operated at two different speeds by rotating a double hand-crank a, b, and by moving a clutch sleeve 28 into engagement with either of the wheels d', c<1> by operating pedals 48, 46, respectively. The sleeve 28 is connected by levers 34, 35, with a collar 38 on opposite sides of which are cups 39, 40, capable of being moved on the rod 35 against the action of springs 41, 42 by a forked lever 43 connected with the pedal. On depressing the pedal 46, the spring 41 is compressed, thus allowing the spring 42 to act upon the rod 35 through the collar 38 to move the sleeve 28 into engagement with the wheel c<1> when the clutch teeth 29 register therewith. The lever 43 may be moved by hand if desired.

IPC: B65H59/22
Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 12,604. McKean, J. O. Dec. 28, 1909. T e n s i o n arrangements; clearing - apparatus.- In a tension device for winding- machines, a pin P is mounted upon a table t<2>, which is slightly inclined to the horizontal. A washer W is mounted on the pin, the orifice in the washer being larger than the pin P, so that the washer normally lies on the table t<2> eccentrically to the pin. The yarn passes through a knot catcher, comprising a vertically adjustable member t<7> which co-operates with the table t<2> to form a slot, and under the washer W, which is caused to rotate by the friction of the yarn and move in a spiral path up the pin. The knot-catcher is formed to act as a stop so as to limit the movement of the washer as it swings round the pin, and cause it to drop again on to the table t<2>. An extension t<10> on the arm t' prevents the washer W from escaping from the pin P.

Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,394. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Aug. 3. Winding-machines; thread-guides. - In a winding-machine in which a friction progression wheel, operated by contact with the cop, effects a relative advance between the thread-guide and spindle, the thread-guide and progression-wheel device is so mounted that it can be released to slide back along the screw bar on which it is mounted to its initial position by lateral pressure applied in a direction opposite to that of the feed-movement. The thread-guide g is mounted upon a holder l having legs l<1>, l<2> bent down to form bearing-portions l<3> surrounding the screwed traverse-bar f. The yarn is led over the thread-guide along the groove g' and presses the thread-guide against the surface of the cop. The holder l, swivelling on the bar f, allows the thread-guide to follow the conical surface of the cop. A hub or bushing n is mounted on the bar f between the legs l<1>, l<2>. The progression wheel o is mounted upon the hub, and is secured to a flange n<2> on the hub by a wire spring clip u, the bent end of which passes through holes in both the wheel and the flange. A part of the hub n is cut away, and in this opening is mounted a pawl p of bell-crank shape pivoted on a wire ring s sprung into a peripheral groove n<5> in the hub. The horizontal arm p<1> of the pawl carries a transverse segmental portion p<2> formed with threads to fit the screw-threaded bar f, and held in contact therewith by a spring clip t. A sleeve v is mounted to slide on the hub n and is provided with a flange v<1> with a pocket v<2> in which the vertical arm p<3> of the pawl p is situated. When the sleeve is pressed in the direction shown by the arrow, the wall of the pocket v<2> comes in contact with a projection p<4> on the arm p<3> and rocks the pawl taking the part p<2> out of contact with the screw. Further pressure moves the whole device from right to left back to its original position on the bar f ready to commence winding a fresh cop. The sleeve v serves to prevent the entrance of dust, lint, &c. into the device.

Screw propellers.-A rotary lifting-propeller for flying-machines, of the type comprising a number of blades mounted with a feathering action upon radial arms which rotate about a shaft arranged longitudinally of the machine, is provided at its front end with screwpropeller blades, which are arranged so that the air which they compress is directed along the underside of the feathering - blades, thereby increasing the lifting-effect produced. Fig. 1 shows a machine in which such propellers 4 are arranged at opposite sides of the machine. Screw-propeller blades 5, formed on radial arms at the front end of the blades 4, are arranged so that their curved ends form a continuation of the blades 4 during the downstroke. The screw blades 5 may be formed as shown in Fig. 4, in which narrow rectangular blades are shaped so as to be flat at the leading edge and curved with an increasing curvature towards the rear edge. In modifications, the radial width of the blades 5 may increase from the centre of the blades outwards, or may increase continuously from the front to the rear edge; or the blades may be rectangular, as shown in Figs. 5 and 8. Other propellers 7, constructed in the same way as the blades 5, may be provided on the machine as shown in Fig. 1.
