Filed: 1907-07-24
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 16,983. Justice. P. M., [Lanning, C. D.]. July 24. Loom stop-motions; lease-rods.-In a loom having a mechanical or electro-magnetic warp stop-motion, preferably of the kind in which drop detectors are arranged between a pair of lease-rods, the lease-rods are mounted so that they may yield to the pressure of the warp threads, without disturbing the parts of the stop-motion. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 13, the lease-rods 39, 40 are carried by pivoted arms 46 controlled by springs 49. If one of the threads breaks, the corresponding detector is guided in its descent by one of the contact-rods 38, and falls upon a contact-bar 45, thus completing an electric circuit and energizing a magnet which controls a device for stopping the loom. Stop-pieces 47, 48 limit the motion of the arms 46. In a modification, the ends of each lease-rod are carried by spring-controlled blocks capable of yielding in a vertical or inclined direction. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, there is secured to each side of the loom a fixed bracket 18 having pivoted to it at 19<1> a piece 19 carrying spring-controlled blocks 24 with projections 22 adapted to fit into the ends of the lease-rods. Springs 20, 21 may be inserted to cushion the oscillatory movement of the piece 19. The blocks 24 may be connected together so that they move in unison. The piece 19 may be arranged to yield bodily in the direction of the length of the loom, in which case the lease-rods are secured directly to the piece 19.

Abstract: 18,804. Humfrey, J. C. W. Aug. 21. Signals, lamp and flash ; instruction apparatus.- Signals of the Morse type formed by flashes of light or by sound are produced automatically by the passage of perforations in a strip or band which is wound from one drum on to another. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are an elevation, plan, and end view respectively, of one form of the apparatus. The spindle 9 and drum 11 can rotate loosely, while the spindle 10 and drum 12 are rotated uniformly by clock-work mechanism in the base 13. A lamp 14 and a lens 15 are placed on opposite sides of the screen 16, which has an aperture 17 for diverting the light through the lens. A paper strip 18 containing perforations is wound from the drum 11 on to the drum 12 by the clock-work mechanism. When a perforation passes the aperture 17, a flash is produced of long or short duration according to the size of the perforation. The second series of perforations shown can be brought into operation by inverting the drums. In a modification, the perforations in the strip close an electric circuit and produce long or short electric lamp flashes, or sounds. The arrangement is stated to be suitable for the use of learners.

Title: A Gas or Petrol Motor Worked with Multiple Rotating Cylinders.
Inventor: DEPREZ OSCAR
Filed: 1907-08-21
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 18,862. Deprez, O., Richir, A., and Devis, A. Aug. 21. Revolving-cylinder type.-In a rotary gas engine of the revolving-cylinder type, the piston-rods are attached to a double annular cross-head, to which are fixed two double cranks carrying gear-wheels which turn on fixed gear-wheels attached to the shaft, the fixed wheels being twice as large as the rotating wheels. The casing therefore revolves once for each four strokes of the pistons. The cylinders a<1> . . . a<9>, preferably nine in number, aro fixed to the outer periphery of the casing 4 carried on ball bearings 2, 3 on the fixed shaft 1. Each cylinder a<1> has a piston b<1> the rod c<1> of which is attached to the double annular cross-head 5, 5<1> by pins d', and the cross-head carries two cranks spaced 180 degrees apart, the arms of which are jointed to the casing and carry pinions 8. 8<1>, 13, 13<1>, Fig. 2, loose on the pins 7, 7<1>, 12, 12'. These pinions gear with fixed wheels of twice the diameter fixed on the shaft 1, so that, for one revolution of the casing, each piston will mark four strokes. Automatic spring-controlled inlet valves 15 connect the cylinders with the pipes e<1> leading to the mixer 18, which revolves in the sleeve 19. The mixer passes through the annular space 20 through orifices 19<11>, and past the baffle 21 carrying the small vanes 22, which act as fans to ensure intimate mixing of gas and air. The exhaust valves 16 are operated through rods f<1>, f<2> . . . f<9>, Fig. 3, provided with returning-springs ; these rods are actuated in tbeir correct order by the cams g<1>, g<2>, g<3> placed in parallel planes on the fixed shaft, each cam serving to actuate three rods by means of the levers 26 pivoted to the casing, which carry antifriction rollers 25. An analogous arrangement may be provided for the inlet valves. The ignition is effected by a spring contact held on a stationary insulating-sleeve 29 which receives current from a trembler coil. On the flanges 30, 31 of this sleeve rotates another sleeve 32 which is attached to the mixer, and carries more contact-pieces, so that current is supplied to the sparking-plugs of the cylinders in order. Lubrication is effected by continuous circulation of oil, which passes through a duct 33 in the shaft 1, through the ball bearings, and into the interior of the casing through the joint 35. Centrifugal action then distributes the oil to all parts. When sufficient has collected, it passes through the apertures 36 into the chamber 37 and is then discharged through a hollow rod 38, with a spoon-shaped head, which commences with the duct 39. A plate 40 is arranged on the wall of the casing to prevent oil from passing through the joint 35<1> after the level of the oil in the dish-shaped chamber thus formed has risen above the joint 35. In order to obtain uniform motion, the engine may be constructed with two series of cylinders and two separate crossheads arranged on a single casing.
