Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Shuttle Changing Mechanism for Looms.
IPC: D03D45/34
Filed: 1911-01-21
Granted: 1912-01-22
Abstract: 1601. Universal Automatic Shuttle Changer, Ltd., and Burns, J. Jan. 21. Shuttle-changing mechanism. - To prevent the bottom shuttle in the magazine or case a from being displaced and failing to enter the shuttle box after the magazine has been opened preparatory to a change of shuttles, a spindle d is mounted in brackets on the magazine above the opening therein, and is provided with arms or projections f and a lever or arm h acted upon by a spring i, which normally moves the arms f, h into the position shown. When, however, shuttlechanging is to occur and the loose shuttlebox part &c. c is moved forwards (to the right) to engage the spring blades b and allow a shuttle to drop from the magazine on to the plates g, the front c engages the arm h and turns the shaft d until the arms f occupy a vertical position and thus prevent the released shuttle from being displaced or escaping during the shuttle - changing operation. When the front c returns to insert the shuttle into the shuttle-box, the arms f, h are returned to normal position and the blades b also resume their normal supporting position.

Abstract: 12,462. S÷derlund, O., and Testrup, N. May 23. Vapours, utilizing for effecting further evaporation; film evaporators.-An evaporator comprising a heating-surface, such as a serpentine pipe i, over which liquid is repeatedly circulated in a film by a pump m, leading to a distributing-pipe o, is heated by means of the vapours generated in the evaporator after they have been compressed by a blower g. A small quantity of steam is admitted by a pipe q to make up for losses by radiation and to prevent the accumulation of air in the chamber. The feed-liquor is preheated and at the same time freed from dissolved air by means of the heat of the condensed liquid from the pipe i ; a blow-off is fitted to the pipe i to allow any gases to escape. The blower q effects a compression of about onetenth of an atmosphere. The Provisional Specification describes an apparatus in which the heating-surface consists of a spiral tube the lower end of which passes through a side-chamber in which the feed-liquor is preheated in the form of spray, a funnel beiog provided in the base of the evaporator to collect the concentrated liquor and separate it from the incoming feed-liquors, and it is stated that a supplementary supply of heat may be obtained by means of heating-jackets, coils, furnaces, &c.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 17,617. Koechlin, A.G. Aug. 2. Stop-motions, weft; stop-motions acting on too frequent weft - replenishment. Relates to mechanism, such as described in Specification 26,575/09, for stopping the loom when the number of times automatic bobbin-changing occurs during the time a shaft makes one or part of a revolution exceeds a certain limit. The weftfork carrier or cradle 4 is provided with a lug 7 carrying a pawl 6, which acts on a spring-controlled toothed pusher-slide 8 when the carrier 4 is moved, so that the pusher-slide is moved step by step at each actuation of the weft - fork mechanism towards the stop-lever 5, the slide 8 being held in position by a locking-hook 10 on a lever 11 after each movement. The pawl 6 and locking-hook 10 are periodically raised by a lever 13 operated by a notch or notches on the periphery of the regulator wheel 12, the pusherslide being thus released so that it may return to normal position. If, however, the weft-fork mechanism is actuated three times (in the construction illustrated), and bobbin-changing is thus caused to occur three times before the pawl 6 and hook are released, the pusher-slide operates the lever 5 and stops the loom.

Abstract: 20,326. Hunt, A. Sept. 6. Proving or raising appliances. - A machine for proving dough comprises a chamber 1 in which are arranged a series of sets of doughsupporting shelves 7 suspended on rotating frames 6 which are carried on the rim of a rotating frame 4. The frames 6 are driven round their shafts 5 by bevel and worm gearing and radial shafts 9 from the central axle 3. Dough is fed to the machine by an endless band 25 and is removed by a similar band 36. The shaft 3 is driven intermittently by a Geneva stop gear from a continuously-driven shaft 14, and the mechanism is arranged so that consecutive arrivals of one of the frames 6 at the feeding or discharge point present different platforms 7 to the endless bands. The dough portions are pushed from the band 25 on to the platform 7 by a transverse bar 26, Fig. 3, reciprocated by a linkage operated by a cam on the shaft 14. As the bar 26 is moved forward it is rotated by a pinion engaging a rack 34. For discharging the dough portions, the shafts 8 on which the platforms 7 are suspended are rotated by the clutch end 39 of a pin 37, Fig. 5, which is pushed into engagement by a lever 41 operated by a wedge surface 43 on a reciprocating rod 44. This rod carries a pawl 47 which, at the required time, moves the rack 51 and rotates the pinion 50 and the pin 37. The rod 44 is reciprocated by a cam on the shaft 14. The platforms 7 may be provided with cups &c. to receive the dough portions.

In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the controlling-arm g is operated by a reversible motor d through a screw f, and the contacts on the arm g are inclined to the rows of contacts c of the resistance sections a to provide for a gradual variation of the resistance. The insulating base of the switch is provided with a terminal bar k connected to the source of supply, terminal bars h', h<2> connected to the lamp circuits, and other conducting-bars h<3>, h<4> connected as shown in Fig. 5. Switches q are also provided which short-circuit the resistance in any position of the arm g. The terminal bar h' is made shorter than the terminal bar h<3> in order that the lamp circuit L<2> may be broken when the arm g is in one extreme position. Similarly, the bar h<2> is made shorter than the bar h<4> in order that the lamp circuit L<1> may be broken when the arm g is in its other extreme position.

Gas-mixing appliances. - In apparatus for mixing air and gas for burning, of the type described in Specification 15,455/09, [Class 75 (i), Burners &c.], the proportions of the mixture are regulated by apparatus such as that described in Specification 21,112/11, [Class 135, Valves &c.], so that no appreciable amount of either constituent remains after combustion. The air current flows along a pipe a, and the gas is introduced into the pipe a from a jacket d in such fashion that the strength of the mixture is increased as the place of use is approached. This is effected by introducing the gas from the jacket d into the pipe a through a series of rings of holes f in the wall of the pipe a. The rings nearer the place of use preferably contain more holes than those more remote. Pipes m lead from the holes f to various regions of the pipe a, the pipes m nearest the air inlet being the longest.
