Title: Improvement connected with the Weft Parting or Cutting Device of Automatic Looms.
Filed: 1905-10-20
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 21,327. British Northrop Loom Co., and Hollins, D. M. Oct. 20. Looms, weft-cutting in.-In automatic weft-replenishing looms, in which, when the shuttle is boxed ready to receive a new supply of weft, the weft extending between the cloth and the shuttle is clamped and parted by a device mounted on the breast beam and is subsequently cut close to the cloth, the clamping and parting device is provided with means for preventing the clamping and parting of the weft when the shuttle fails to enter the box properly during the ordinary working of the loom. The swinging support a is bent rearwardly to constitute the shuttle feeler a', which moves in the ordinary manner across the shuttlerace at the entrance of the shuttle box, and the fixed and movable clamping and parting blades are mounted on the part a' in the usual way. As the device is at present constructed, if the shuttle fails to box properly, its tip forces open the blades of the device as the lay beats up, and as the lay recedes the blades hold and part the weft. To prevent this action, a slide d having a recessed rear end is mounted in a groove in the outer side of the part a<1>, and is normally held in the position shown in full lines by a spring g. If the shuttle fails to box properly, its tip engages the recess in the slide d, and the latter is moved forwards. A pin d<11> on the slide acts upon a pivoted arm e, which pushes a wire f rearwardly. The downturned end f<1> of the wire is thereby made to project beyond the mouth of the shuttle feeler a', and holds the weft clear of the thread parter. The details of the invention may be modified to suit the construction of the thread parter to which it is applied.

Abstract: 23,336. Coolidge, W. D. May 9, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901], Boron.-Refractory elements, such as boron, are made into electric-lamp filaments by incorporation with a metal, alloy, or mixture of metals of lower vaporizing point, and subsequent vaporization of the latter. The process is described with reference to tungsten, using a bismuth-cadmium alloy, the filaments produced being heated by current in an inert atmosphere or vacuum to drive off the alloy. The alloy may contain molecular proportions, and is melted and the powdered tungsten &c. added ; if the alloy melts above the oxidation temperature of tungsten, this operation is performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere. Heating should take place gradually to avoid too rapid volatilization of the alloy, but when the volatilization has been completed the temperature is raised to sinter the filament.

Abstract: 11,986. Boyle, J. M. May 23. Moulding structures in situ.-Conduits &c. are formed continuously in situ by depositing plastic material from a travelling hopper 2 in an open trench or mould 1. A flexible core 5, passing through a tube 4 in the front wall 3 of the hopper, is closed and secured at one end and is distended by means of compressed air &c. contained in a receptacle 7. After a suitable length of conduit has been formed, the core 5 may be collapsed and withdrawn or left in as a lining. Metal strengthening-strips 13 may also be embedded in the plastic material as the hopper moves along. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the flexible core 5 and also the metal bands 13 are wound on drums 14 mounted on a carriage 15 connected to the moving hopper. The core is distended by means of water contained in a tank 7, and its forward end is sealed by means of a travelling valve 17. A sledge 16 for smoothing the sides of the trench is mountei in front of the hopper 2 and is provided with apertures for the passage of the metal bars 13 and core 5. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the core is formed of metal lining-pipes 22 which are fitted section by section as the hopper moves along. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which a moving core is used, the length of the core and speed of the hopper being regulated so that the plastic material has time to set sufficiently to retain its shape. To prevent any deformation, powdered plaster or other quick-setting material is fed through a passage 25, which is flared at its lower end so that the plaster is delivered on to the upper side of the core, and as the latter advances is constantly brought into contact with the moist arch of the bore, and combines with the moisture to form a hard inner shell, which supports the arch of the bore during setting. The hopper 2 is continuously and positively moved along by means of a cord 8 and winding drum 9, Fig. 1, or similar device.

Feeding sheets; folding paper.-In a machine for folding letters, circulars, pamphlets, &c., the sheets are fed from a vertical pile on a pivoted pile table 5 to folding-rollers 13, 18, which are assisted by an adjustable buckling-guide 16 to nip the sheets and fold them transversely. The folded sheets are then either given a second fold parallel to the first by a removable buckling guide 19 and extra folding- roller 20, or are sent past feeding and adjusting devices to rolls 42, 32, 41 giving two folds at rightangles to the first. The pile table 5 is pivoted at 4 and provided with an adjustable side plate 6 and end plate 7, the weight of the pile always acting to keep the front sheet pressed against the narrow feed-roller 8 ; a spring 7<1> prevents the pressure from being too great. The top sheet is led between guides 14, 15 to rollers 12, 13 and the front passes along the guide 16 to an adjustable stop 17, the sheet then buckling between the rollers 13, 18 and passing downwards with one transverse fold. A second fold is then given if 'desired, parallel to the first, by the guide 19 with an adjustable stop similar.to that on the guide 16, the sheet passing out between the rolls 18, 20. The guide 19 and roller 20 are mounted on arms 25 pivoted at 26 and held by a spring arm 27 engaging one of two stops 28, 29, either in the position shown, or in an inoperative position out of the way. In the latter case, the once folded sheet 'drops between two vertical guide-bars 21, 22, pivoted so as to be brought into position when required, the other end of the sheet passing between conical guide-rollers 23, 24, also removable, and pressed together by a spring, the sheet resting on a vertically adjustable stop 33. The rollers 23, 24 then move the sheet laterally to folding-rollers 32, 41, 42, 43, Fig. 3, by which, with the help of guides 49, 50, the sheet is given two folds at right-angles to the first, and is delivered past a spring-held guide 51 to a delivery trough 53 with a slidable pile support 54. The folding-rolls are geared together, and the vertical ones are driven only when used, through a clutch 47 and bevel-wheels 44, 45. The roll bearings are spring-mounted, as shown, to allow varying thicknesses of paper to pass between.
