Title: Improvements in Stop Motions for Milling or Fulling or like Machines.
Inventor: BAILEY JAMES
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 23,095. Bailey, J. Oct. 30. Stop-motions. - A stop - motion for milling, fulling or like machines comprises a belt-fork operated by the fabric in the event of the traverse of the fabric being impeded or obstructed. Upon the bottom nipping-roller shaft 3 are mounted fast and loose pulleys 4, 5. A fork 11 for shifting the belt slides upon rods 12 and, under the action of spiral springs 13, tends to shift the belt to the loose pulley 5. The fork is thrown over by hand to the left by a long lever 8, the other end of which engages a shoulder 14<1> in a bracket 14. In this position the machine is driven. A lever 16 is pivoted to the bracket 14, and is adapted, when raised, to raise the lever 8 sufficiently to disengage the shoulder 14<1>, whereupon the springs 13 throw the fork over to the right and stop the machine. A spring 28, operating the lever 8 through a flexible connexion 29, assists the springs 13. The end of the lever 16 is connected to the draft-board 6 by a chain 17 so that if a knot or the like prevents the fabric passing through the opening in the draft-board the latter is lifted and the lever 16 is raised, thereby shifting the fork and stopping the machine. The lever 16 is also connected to a lever 20 by a chain 19. The other end of the lever 20 engages a clutch member slidably but non-rotatably connected to the shaft 24 of a guide roller 7 which is driven solely by the frictional contact of the driven fabric. A complementary clutch member is rotatably mounted upon the shaft 24 and is driven from the power shaft 3 by a belt 26. Should the fabric be held or obstructed in its passage through the machine from some cause not affecting its free passage through the draft-board, the guide-roller 7 ceases to rotate, and, consequently, the clutch member 23 stops. The clutch member 25, however, continues to rotate and thrusts the member 23 to the right, Fig. 2, turning the lever 20, and thereby operating the stop-motion.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Brake Mechanism for Railway and other Vehicles.
Inventor: THRELFALL RICHARD JAMES
Filed: 1908-11-20
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 25,026. Threlfall, R. J., and Threlfall, J. W. Nov. 20. Brakes.-In a device for compensating for wear of the brake blocks, the operating-rod a is telescopic, the two parts b, c having interlocking teeth e held in engagement by a spring f. The part b, which is connected to the rigging, has a limited motion between stops m, n carried by a ratchet bar g which engages with teeth j on a fixed bracket d. Abnormal movement of the rod b on application of the brakes brings the projection o into contact with the stop n, and the bar g is advanced one tooth over the fixed rack. When the rod a is moved to release the brakes, the projection o comes into contact with the stop m and the part c of the rod advances one tooth along the part b of the operating-rod. In a modification, the rod g, Fig. 7, engages with teeth on a weighted rack p which moves vertically on guides q to allow the teeth of the racks to slip over one another.

Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 2217. Curtis, A. H., Mackley, A. H., and Adams Manufacturing Co. Jan. 29. Electrically - released switches; push - button switches.-The no-volt release coil of a switch is included in one of two parallel circuits, which can be opened separately but cannot both be opened at the same time. The no-volt coil e, Fig. 1, of a motor-starter, for example, is shown connected to the field winding b of a shunt motor through the contacts k, i of a push m. The push has two contact-arms i, j, and, when the push is depressed, the arm j touches the contact l before the arm i leaves the contact k. When the contacts j, l touch, the no-volt coil e is short-circuited, and the further depression of the push m breaks the circuit of the coil e. The starter returns to the ' off ' position, and the circuit of the field coil b remains complete through the alternative path j, l. The device may also be applied to starters for series motors. A number of the pushes m may be connected in series as shown Fig. 3 to allow the coil e to be deenergized from a number of distant points.

Granted: 1910-09-07
Abstract: 20,496. Bowell, G. B. Sept. 7. Electric clocks.-In an electric step-by-step mechanism, applicable as a secondary clock, or a counter &c., and which is also applicable for synchronizing kinematograph and phonograph apparatus, an electro-magnet and a permanent magnet act in turn upon a double cam-shaped armature pivoted between the magnet - poles. The permanent magnet n, Fig. 2, provided with an adjustable keeper o, is arranged at rightangles to the electro-magnet r, q, the magnets being fixed against pairs of pole-pieces p<1>, p and s<1>, s respectively, Fig. 3. Normally, the armature t is held in the position shown in Fig. 3 by the attraction of the poles p', p of the magnet n. When a current is transmitted to the electro-magnet, the field due to the permanent magnet is overpowered, and the armature is rotated through a quarter-revolution; then, when the current ceases, the armature is turned forwards through the same amount under the influence of the permanent magnet alone. Preferably, when the device is applied to a secondary clock, a current is transmitted to it every half-minute, the motion of the minute and hour hands being obtained by suitable gearing from the armature-spindle b.
