Title: An Improved Apparatus for Heating and Steaming and Cooling the Bobbins of Lace Machines after they have been Filled and Pressed.
Inventor: WRAGG RICHARD
Filed: 1906-05-08
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 10,721. Wragg, R. May 8. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-Lace bobbins after being filled and pressed are steamed &c. in an apparatus comprising a cylindrical casing d and rotary radial partitions h. As the latter rotate, the various compartments arrive opposite a gap e, where the contents are exchanged for fresh bobbins. Each compartment is provided with roof and floor apertures, such as o, and successively occupies the positions of the steaming-chamber k, draining and drying chamber l, and cooling-chambers m, n. In the position k, the floor aperture registers with a steampipe p and the roof aperture with an outlet. The chamber is rendered steam-tight by the pressure of spring-controlled sliding strips z. In the position l, the floor aperture registers with a drain-pipe s, the drying being accomplished by the heat retained in the walls h &c. In the positions m, n, the roof aperture communicates with the external air, and the ports u with a suction or other pipe t.

Abstract: 14,159. Bishop, R. H., and Down, W. June 20. Toboganning. - A toboganning track consists of a straight or serpentine track to the top of which mats or wheeled cars are raised by an elevator f, Fig. 3, attached to a pair of endless chains a which move in grooves d, Figs. 3 and 9, in an inclined structure e. The elevator is formed with guide-rollers i, j, Fig. 6, which move in grooves d, k in the incline e, with vertical bars g, and, if necessary, with a notched platform for receiving the axles of wheeled cars. The cars or mats are moved by hand or mechanically on to comblike grids m, through the slots of which the bars g pass in order to take up a loaded car or mat. During the ascent, the car is held in an horizontal position. At the top of the incline e, a grid n strips the car from the elevator and discharges it down an inclined tract. The chains a are suitably driven and the grooves d, k cross twice to ensure the return of the elevator in an upright position. A pawl x is arranged near the groove k to prevent backward movement of the runners j. At the end of the track, a spring-board u, Fig. 5, may be provided for stopping the motion of the cars. Turntables t may also be provided at the ends of the track, and a lever w enables the board u to be depressed in order to move cars on to a turntable t. A double track may be used, and a stairway may be provided for the attendant.

Abstract: 209. Agar, M. F. Jan. 3. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-Retates to non- skid devices for motor and other road vehicles in which a resisting-medium is placed in the rear angle between the back wheels and the road, as described in Specification No. 28,924, A.D. 1906, and consists in providing meansfor positively retaining such medium in the required position. Fig. 2 shows a chain e, the lower end of which is secured to an arm e<1> pivoted on the axle casing or bearing and prevented from moving backwards by a stop e<2>. The arm e<1> is provided with a roller e<3> and is kept off the wheels by a buffer e<4>. The chain may be connected to the arm e<1> at a short distance from its endor it may be made in the form of a loop to embrace the tyre and attached to the arm e<1> at its bight. A modification is described in which two rods on opposite sides of the vehicle are connected by a yoke-piece universally jointed .at its centre to the axle casing. In another modification, a hook-shaped device e*, Figs. 8 and 9, consisting of several pieces of raw hide or other material clamped in a metal shield e<*5>, is inserted between the chain e and the arm e<1> so as to trail on the ground. In another arrangement, a motor driving-chain, having its lower links bent so as to project under the tyre and covered with raw hide, is secured to the bar e'. Arrangements are described in which a chain is kept bent at its lower end by a helical spring surrounding it, by wires threaded through the links, or by springs secured to the lower links, the arm e<1> being dispensed with. The helical spring may be protected by a leather covering. In the form shown in Fig. 13, the arm e' is pivoted at e** and carries a bent tube e<1*>, through which depends the chain e ; a spring e<***> keeps the arm vertical. In another arrangement, the resisting- medium consists of a conical wedge covered with chain mail and universally jointed to the arm e<1>. In the modification shown in Fig. 15, the chain is replaced by a metallic strap e supported by springs e<8> at its ends. Fig. 17 shows a device in which the upper end of the rod e<1> is supported by a second chain e<1*> or a rod, and the resisting-device e<*> is kept in its forward position by a wire or chain e<1*1>. Where trailing chains are used, they may be graduated transversely, longitudinally, or both ; or they may be knotted or weighted.

The feedwheel c, Fig 1, is operated by two pawls a, b, which act at each reversal of the motion of the table. The pawls are carried by triangular plates a<1>, b<1> connected by links a<2>, b<2> to a sliding piece g, which is provided with a pin g' situated in a taper slot e<2> in the lower arm of a lever e, which is rocked by tappets j<1> on the reciprocating part. The piece g slides in a block k, which can be adjusted along the lever to alter the position of the pin g<1> in the slot e<2> and therefore the amount of the feed. The lever e is normally held in its central position by springs. A shield n, Fig. 3, is provided which moves with the feed-wheel c and raises first one pawl and then the other to first diminish and then stop the feed. The shield is carried by a plate m, which is locked to the wheel c by a pinion which is carried by a stud on the plate m, and which engages with the teeth on the wheel c. An arm m<3> carried on the stud, engages recesses in the plate m<4> and provides a micrometer adjustment of the position of the shield n. The tappets j<1>, Fig. 1, are mounted on a block j, which slides along a rack k, and which is fixed in position by a spring-controlled T-piece j<2> engaging the teeth of the rack.

Sights.-Relates to mechanism for correcting the readings of range - dials for variations in muzzle-velocity, charge-temperature, &c. Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a section through the range-dial and correcting mechanism. The rotating rangedial a carries on its axis a<1> a pointer e, e, which is angularly displaced only when a correction is to be applied. The frame b carries a muzzle-velocity scale b<1>, and a sliding charge temperature scale c, and also supports a slotted bar d connected by a pin d' with an index-bar d', which can be clamped in any position in the frame b by virtue of the slot b<2>. The pointer e carries in a slot e' the block f which has a pin f engaging with the slot d<5> in the bar d, and a pin f engaging with a spiral groove a<2> in the range - dial. When the dial rotates, the block f moves radially, and owing to its end f<1> , being constrained to slide in the groove d<5> inclined by.the setting of the indexes c<1>, d<2>, it turns, and imparts an angular motion to the pointer e. An exactly similar mechanism to that used for angularly displacing the pointer e is applied to the frame b and derives its motion from a second spiral groove a<3>, and thus corrections are applied for variations in air-density and ballistic-ooeficient by setting the indexes i<2>, h<1>, respectively.
