Title: Improvements in Jacquard Looms for Weaving Thick Moquette.
Inventor: PARMENTIER EMILE FLORIMOND
Filed: 1905-09-01
Granted: 1906-09-01
Abstract: 17,744. Parmentier, E. F. Sept. 1. Pile fabrics; carpets.- Thick moquette fabrics or carpets are woven in jacquard looms in two superposed pieces, which are cut apart in the loom or after removal therefrom. The upper and lower pieces have binding-warps K, N respectively, Fig. 2, and the pile warps O are bound into the two pieces alternately by the wefts, the unselected pile warps forming stuffers for the lower piece, or being distributed equally in both pieces. The upper piece has independent stuffers U, and the lower piece may also have independent stuffers, or both pieces may have heavier binding warps and wefts and no stuffers. The fabrics may be woven with two shuttles and crossed sheds of binding-warps, or one shuttle only may be used, and one shed of binding-warps, and the pile warps may be bound in by the face or back wefts. Looms, pile forming and cutting in ; jacquards ; shedding-motions; shuttle-races.-In a loom for weaving the fabrics described above, tringles T, Figs. 1 and 2, pass through the reed between the two fabrics, and are supported by leashes hand connected by a rod Z. The tringles form a race for the upper shuttle, and serve as guides for a reciprocating cutter, which is placed at their front ends. For the crossed-shed fabrics, the binding- warps pass through two sets of healds F, G, of which each has two eyes, and for the single-shed fabrics, the binding-warps pass through a single set of healds with two eyes, or two sets of healds with single eyes. The jacquard lever is actuated through a rod R and a treadle by a cam Q on the shaft P, and a second cam S on the same shaft acts through a treadle and suitable connexions to operate a heald A for the stuffer warps U of the upper fabric. When two shuttles are used, they are picked from fixed boxes D, E.

Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 24,149. Murphy, P. H. Nov. 22. Axle-trucks.-A bolster beam for a car truck is built up of an I-beam compression member and a plate tension member, the latter being provided with tightening-means. The compression member comprises two I-beams 1, 2 connected at the top by a plate 3, centre bearing 4, and side bearings 5, 6, the bearings being preferably malleable castings. The webs of the I-beams have inclined slots 7 at each end, into which fit slotted lateral projections 9 formed on bearing- members 8 which are fitted between, and have flanges abutting against, the ends of the beams 1, 2, and are also provided with webs 10 having the same inclination as the slots 7 and projections 9. Queen-posts 11, 12, shaped as shown in Fig. 3, are disposed on either side of the centre bearing and provide seatings for the tension member 14, the ends of which are bent over and riveted at the webs 10 of the members 8 and also to keys 13 which are inserted in the slotted projections 9 and slots 7. Tightening of the tension member is effected by removing the keys 13, expanding them by a fuller or like tool, and then replacing them. Spring seatings are provided by plates 15, having flanges 16, Fig. 4, which are driven on from the ends of the beams 1, 2. Cast column guides 17 are riveted to the flanges of the beams 1, 2, the lower rivets passing also through the plates 15. In a modification, Fig. 6, the tension. member 14 is bent round and riveted to the web of a bearing-member 18 whichhas side flanges bent as at 19 and secured to the I-beams. Column guides 20 are provided with plates 21 bent at the ends as shown, and secured between the flanges 19 and the I-beams. The plates 21 may be made separate from the column guides.

Title: Improvements in Regenerative Gas Furnaces
Inventor: SIEMENS FREDERICK KARL
Filed: 1906-06-30
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 14,947. Siemens, r. K. June 30. Regenerative furnaces. -Relates mainly to reheating furnaces of the kind described in Specification No. 25,057, A.D 1902, in which the bed or hearth is hotter at the finishing end than the charging end. The improvements are however shown also applied to a rotary roasting-furnace. A flue or chamber is provided through which the air passes after leaving the regenerator, or the products of combustion pass on their way from the furnace to the regenerator, the object being to ensure a uniform temperature of the air delivered to the furnace. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the air passes from each regenerator e through a flue or chamber f situated beneath the hearth, and is delivered to the furnace through ports in the end. There is a separate flue for each regenerator, one being idle during the passage of air through the other. In a modified form, in which the ingots are discharged through an opening in the end, the air and gas ports are formed in the side walls of the furnace. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the products of combustion are passed through the flue or chamber f<1>, the air being delivered direct from the regenerator to the furnace. In a modified form of this arrangement, Fig. 10, one chamber f<2> serves for both regenerators, the currents of air and combustion products being directed by butterfly valves d<1>, s. Mushroom valves, preferably of the form described in Specification No. 770, A.D. 1902, may also be used.

Title: Improvements in Switches for Electric Circuits.
Inventor: JACKSON RAY PHILIP
Filed: 1907-02-18
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 4000. Jackson, R. P. March 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Swirches.-The movement of the contact arm in a double-break switch causes one contact to roll on another so as to confine sparking to tips which are separated when the switch is closed. The switch is shown operated pneuniatically, but any convenient means may be employed. The arm 1 is pivoted to a rod 2 attached to a piston 3 in a cylinder 7, supplied through a valve 8 controlled by .an electro-magnet 9. The arm 1 is forked at the end 13 to move along the rod 14 to make contact with the terminal 5, which is connected to the rod 2 by a link 12 and to the arm 1 by a flaxible conductor 16. A contact 10 is secured to the otberend of the arm 1, and engages a fixed contact 6 in the field of the electro-magnet 11. which blows out the spark on opening the switch. The nut 23 and spring 15 are so arranged that, on closing the switch, the outer ends of the contacts 6, 10 make contact, thus completing the circuit through contact 5, conductor 16, arm 1, and contacts 10, 6. As the rod 2 moves still more, the spring 15 is compressed until the arm 1 touches the contact 5 and the faces of the contacts 6, 10 are in engagement. The conductor 16 is thus cut out of the circuit. The reverse takes place oil opening the switch, the final break occurring at the tips of the contacts 10, 6. An auxiliary switch 20 controls the circuits of the electro-magnets 9, 11, and may be operated by a pin 22 on the rod 2 working in a slot in the arm 17.

Title: Improvements in Developing Clocks for Photographic and the like Purposes.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE LINDSAY
Filed: 1907-05-06
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 10,538. Johnson, G. L. May 6. Alarms.-The clock is adapted to ring an alarm at the completion of the second portion of the development of a photograph, the alarm being set and the clock started as soon as the contour lines appear on the plate. The length of this period depends on the development number of the plate and the duration of the first period of development between the immersion of the plate and the appearance of the contour lines. To set the clock, the pointer b is set to the required division of the dial by turning the milled button d, the wheel f on the pointer spindle simultaneously rotating the screwed shaft k, when the hammer lever q by virtue of an internally threaded hub traverses the shaft. The clock now rotates the spindle k in the reverse direction through the friction wheel l, gradually returning the alarm lever q, so that the latter is raised by the pin p on the shaft o to strike the alarm bell and indicate the completion of the development when the hand b reaches zero, and a second time when the hand reaches the fixed stop on the dial. The spindle o is driven from the shaft k through gearing m, n. Dials; seconds' mechanism.-The large dial a has an outer minute-ring and within a series of concentric arcs corresponding with varying durations of the first stage of development of a photographic plate (such durations being determined by means of a hand h and a dial graduated to show 120 seconds), the arcs themselves having radial divisions corresponding with the different development numbers of the plates. Stop-mechanism.-In its extreme position the alarm lever q raises the spring actuated lever r by means of the pin s to put the spring t into engagement with the balance and stop the clock.
