Abstract: 15,499. Bosson, H. H. July 4. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Mechanical systems, non - automatic; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains; hand-levers.-A treadle apparatus releases a signal from ' clear ' to ' danger ' when a train passes and prevents a home signal being reset to clear until the distant signal has been set back to ' danger.' A block D in the run of the home signal wire is locked in clear position by the lever O. When the block D is moved towards the left, a stud N on the wire T moves the shaft G so that the loose pins K rest on the block D. When the block D is released by the lever O, the counterweight on the signal returns the block to the position shown, the cabin lever being replaced as soon as the signal is set. The loose pins K drop and prevent the block D from being again moved to set the signal clear. When the block C is reset to the danger position, the arm Y resets the shaft G and releases the block D. A lock for preventing the return of the hand-lever to the full danger position until the signal is reset consists of a pivoted lever connected to the block D.

Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 3870. Bohle, B. Feb. 14. Carding-engines.-In automatic stripping or cleaning apparatus in which the stripping-roller is adapted to be moved into contact with the carding-cylinder and then moved into contact with a cleaning-roller and rotated in the reverse direction, the stripping-roller is adapted to contact with the carding-cylinder and with the cleaning-roller only during the short periods occupied by those operations and to revolve idly during the remainder of the time. The stripping-roller b is arranged above the doffer a, and the cleaning-roller c, which is provided with rows of cleaning-teeth, is arranged above the stripping-roller, which when engaging with .the doffer roller is driven through gearing f, g, i, Fig. 2. The wheel i rotates a gear k, which is adapted, when raised with the stripping-roller, on the cessation of the stripping operation, to drive the cleaning-roller c. This roller is provided with a ratchet-wheel n and pawl m so that it may be rotated idly in the one direction. For the cleaning operation, the gear g, Fig. 4, and a gear h meshing with it are moved by hand so as to cause the gear i to mesh with the gear h instead of the gear g and to be rotated in the opposite direction. The cleaning- roller is then also driven through the pawl and ratchet-wheel in the operative direction. When the cleaning operation is completed, the gears g, h are moved back into their previous position as shown in Fig. 3. The roller c then becomes stationary, the pawl m running idly over the teeth of the wheel n. The stripping-roller is mounted upon counterbalanced arms and is raised and lowered automatically out of and into engagement with the doffer by a cam driven by a worm from the doffer shaft In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the cleaning- roller is rotated continuously. The stripping- roller b and its gear i are mounted in arms c oscillated about a pivot d by cams s. Projections t on the arms e are adapted to engage with recesses x and elevations y on the cams. A driven gear-wheel f on the cam shaft drives intermediate wheels g, k, which in turn drive respectively the gear i of the stripping-roller b, and a gear h on a swinging arm z. When the projection t rests in the recess x, the stripping- roller engages with the teeth of the doffer and is driven through the gears f, g. When the arms are raised by the elevations y, the stripping-roller is lifted into engagement with the cleaning-roller c and is driven in the opposite direction through the gears k, h. When the projections t rest on the circular part of the cam, the stripping-roller is held in its median position and is driven idly through the gears k, h.
