Patent GB-190505181-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Spinning or Twisting and Winding, or for Winding Yarn and the like.
Inventor: HUBBARD CHARLES WELLS
Filed: 1905-03-13
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 5181. Hubbard, C. W. March 13. Spindle apparatus; winding-machines; bobbins, spools, reels, and balls of thread. - Relates to apparatus for spinning or twisting and winding, or for winding only, in which the thread mass is built up continuously from one end in layers which are arranged transversely to the axis of rotation instead of parallel to it as usual. The mass of yarn being wound rests upon the winding-plate 3, which carries in a radial slot a tbread-guide 5 which is traversed in the slot as the plate rotates by a cam 6 and spring 34. The thread mass is rotated by the cup or flyer a, provided with internal wings or projections 29 for engaging with the thread mass and preventing its too rapid rise as the thread is laid upon its underside. The flyer, the winding-plate 3, and the cam-plate 6 are mounted respectively on the concentric shafts 8, 10, 9. The shafts 8, 10 are rotated directly by the gearing 17, 18, 12, 16, while the shaft 9 is rotated by the epicyclic gearing 13, 14, 15, the wheel 13 being carried by the wheel 16, and the wheels 14, 15, having slightly different numbers of teeth, being mounted on the shafts 8, 9 respectively. In order to allow for the variation in the tension of the thread when the thread-guide is at varying distances from the centre of the mass being wound, the thread is passed to the guide 5 over an arm 28 mounted upon a hub 25 which can slide on the shaft 10 and is raised and allowed to fall, as the cam 6 rotates, by means of a cam-surface 26 on the end of the shaft 9 by which the cam 6 is operated. The thread is passed through the hollow shaft 10, which is fitted at its end with a curved plug 38. For the purpose of facilitating the threading of a broken end, the thread-guide 5 is pushed towards the centre of the apparatus, and. the thread being passed through the aperture in the guide, and the guide released, the upwardly-projecting end is caught and held by the mass of yarn above. When a wound mass has attained a sufficient length, portions may be severed from it as desired.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Indication, Measuring and Recording of Electric Currents.
Inventor: ARNO RICCARDO
Filed: 1906-01-16
Granted: 1907-01-16
Abstract: 1221. Arno, R. Jan. 17,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Thermometers.-A magnetic body suspended in a rotating magnetic field and controlled by a spring is influenced by a magnetic field due to an alternating or intermittent current which causes an alteration in the magnetic lag and therefore the deflexion of the body. By placing two such bodies A, B on a single shaft in two oppositely rotating fields, the initial deflexion may be eliminated. Apparatus based on this principle may be used for indicating, measuring, or recording currents produced by variations of temperature, by the action of light or of atmospheric conditions. The arrangement indicated in the diagram may be used for signalling to a distance the emission of a sound, or causing the performance of some mechanical operation, the sound being received either by a microphone M or by a telephone receiver T. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specification No. 21,462, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Electric telegraphs &c.].]

Filed: 1906-06-22
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 14,339. Reisert, H. June 22. Water, purifying ; filters, cleansing.-Water is purified by treatment with pulverized barium carbonate and by filtration, the water being passed in an upward direction through the barium carbonate, as described in Specification No. 967, A.D. 1903. The reagent vessel is divided by partitions a, b into three portions with outlets d, f, g regulated by baffle-plates 5, 6, Fig. 2, so that the amount of liquid passiug through the three divisions is regulated according to their transverse sections or the specific weight of the corresponding columns. The combined streams of water pass away to the outlet pipe t through filtering-material supported on a perforated partition o. In order to stir up the barium carbonate intermittently, the water is supplied to the reagent vessel by a pipe c from a collecting-vessel h, which is discharged by means of a hooded siphon pipe k having a water seal l at its lower end in the chamber n. To cleanse the filter, water is withdrawn from the vessel 3 through the cock 4 and filtered water is allowed to pass back from a vessel p, into which it has been raised from below the partition o by the formation of a vacuum. The vacuum is caused either by the withdrawal of air by a water flow in the pipe y, or by the condensation of steam supplied to the vessel p. Fig. 6 shows a modified form of reagent vessel in which the water passes upwards by alternative routes through funnel-shaped tubes.
