Abstract: 25,804. Longworth & Co., and Shaw, P. Nov. 11. Stop - motions. - In heckling- machines, a weight-controlled clutch is interposed between the driving-means and the catch-bars or other devices that move the holders through the machines and along the cross channels, and the movement of the weighted clutch parts in being forced out of action is communicated to stopmotion mechanism. Two levers A, B, Fig. 1, are mounted side by side on co-axial studs a, b. The stud b is fixed in the frame, and the lever B carries a grooved or notched piece b<1>. The stud a is carried in arm a<1> adapted to rock with a shaft E mounted in the frame. The lever A is provided with a pin a<2> or stud to engage the groove &c. in the piece b<1>. A weighted lever e<2> is keyed on the shaft E and provides the necessary pressure between the clutch parts a<2>, b<1>. Motion is communicated to the levers A, B through the connecting-rod a<3>, and the lever B is linked to the catchbar C. In the event of any obstruction to the proper working of the catch-bar, the pin a<2> rides out of the groove in the piece b<1>, and the consequent rise of the lever A causes a rocking movement of the shaft E, which movement is communicated through an arm e<4> and connecting-rod e<6> to any suitable stopmotion device. The levers may be mounted upon a common stud, one of them being weighted directly and slotted to allow a rising movement about the stud when the movement of the catchbar is obstructed. According to the Provisional Specification, the two levers may be mounted upon a common stud and connected by a weighted pivoted latch on one engaging a notch in the other.

Machines for writing music; platen scales.-Relates to transposing-devices for use in music typewriters of the kind in which the type members have a common printing point and the platen is moved upwards or downwards by means of shiftkeys to position the notes with respect to the stave. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the platen B is provided at one or both sides with a scale-plate a formed with a scale d having graduations at the same distance apart as the lines of the stave. The plate a is formed with a threaded socket f provided with an adjusting-screw b on which is mounted a double pointer c, c<x>, the pointer being guided by slots in the socket. In transposing, the pointer c is set, by means of the knob c<1>, opposite the scale graduation corresponding to the key into which it is desired to transpose, and the paper A is adjusted initially to bring the middle line of the stave opposite the pointer c<x>. The machine is then operated in the ordinary manner, the operator reading directly from the copy without requiring to make any mental calculations. In the adjustment shown, with the pointers opposite the graduation e, the machine is set for writing without transposition. In modifications of the scale, the knobs c<1> may be arranged at the sides of the platen and be geared to racks on the pointers; further, the movable pointers may be dispensed with. For indicating the number of ledger lines to be applied to notes outside the stave, there is provided a gauge h, Fig. 4, which can rest on the paper near the printing point and is mounted as by means of an arm k so as to be readily movable out of the way. The gauge is provided with pins i or scale-divisions spaced apart at the same distance as the stave lines. The pins or scaledivisions are arranged on one or both sides of a gap which is as wide as the stave.

Abstract: 20,403. Tate, C. G. Sept. 9. Suspension-spoke wheels; spokes, securing and adjusting.-The spokes are radial at the hub flanges, but are bent at the thickened part near the flanges, so that the main part is inclined to the radial direction. The inner ends of the spokes, which are passed through holes in the rim and have thickened outer ends engaging therein, pass through holes 9 in a flange 4, fixed to the hub, and a flange 8, sliding but not rotating on the hub, and have annular recesses 11 which are engaged by slots in rings 12 fitting within the flanges. The sliding flange is threaded to engage a nut 16, which draws the .sliding flange towards the end of the hub to tighten the spokes when it is screwed up. The slots in the rings 12 are alternately deep and shallow to correspond with the holes 9 in the flanges, and to prevent contact of the spokes. The hub flange 4 is secured to a flange on the axle and a brake drum 3 by bolts 5. The thickening of the spokes is such that the resistance to bending is greater than the tensile strength of the body of the spoke.
