Title: Improvements in or connected with Machines for Cutting the Pile of Woollen, Cotton, Velvet or like Corded Fabrics
Filed: 1904-08-19
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 18,008. Cotton Cord and Velvet Cutting Machine Co., Keighley, W. G. M., and Netherwood, H. Aug. 19. Pile-cutting.-Relates to machines for cutting the pile of woollen-cotton, velvet, or like corded fabrics, in which the fabric passes over a card roller b and a positively-driven tension roller d, the two being connected by belt and ratchet gearing h, b<11>,j, so that the card roller is prevented from rotating at more than half the speed of the tension roller. The card roller b, hitherto driven by the friction of the cloth only, is given a supplementary frictional drive from the pulley i, sufficient to overcome any tendency of the roller b to slacken in speed, if any obstruction to the movement of the cloth occurs, so that the pawl j will not ride over part of a tooth, say, and enable the card roller to move on with a jerk on attaining normal conditions, as heretofore, interfering with the cutting- arrangement near the tension roller d. By means of a key, a disc n is secured rotatively on the shaft b<1> of the card roller b, but is capable of being moved longitudinally by a spring o, adjusted by a washer p and nut p<1>, to press on a leather washer m and a disc k having its hub secured by a setscrew to the hub i<1> of the pulley i, so that the card roller is frictionally driven, In a modification, the movable disc n, Fig. 5, is carried by the hub of the pulley i and the fixed disc m by the shaft b<1>. The tension of the spring o is varied by an adjusting- nut r and locking-nut i<1>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosion Engines and the Transmission of Power therefrom
Inventor: HASELWANDER FRIEDRICH AUGUST
Filed: 1904-11-15
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 24,805. Haselwander, F. A. Nov. 15. Motor road vehicles.-When the power of a twostroke-cycle internal-combustion engine is transmitted through a compressor and air-pressure motor to the road wheels, the exhaust from the air-pressure motor is used to scavenge the internalcombustion engine and to supply it with fuel. In the arrangement shown in diagram in Fig. 1, the ordinary cycle of operations takes place in the engine, the exhaust takes place through the opening a, and the inflow of scavenging-air through the opening e. In the lower part of the cylinder, the air is sucked in through a valve s compressed and forced through the passages h, h' and the receiver r to the air motor, the exhaust from which passes through the pipes h<2>, h<3> and the receiver r<1> to the engine. Several modifications may be adopted. In Fig. 2 the compressor is shown separated, and the engine and pump doubleacting. Engines with a number of cylinders acting with a number of pumps may be used, and several air-pressure engines may be used, one driving each wheel of the car. The receivers r, r<1 >may be dispensed with, and the compressors for the scavenging air may work with the injection of water. The receivers may be heated by the exhaust gases of the engine or otherwise. Various methods are described for regulating the engine and air-pressure motor. For the same reason, or to have an independent air supply to the motor, a bye-pass h<4> is provided. The air in receivers r<1>, r may be used for starting. The internal-combustion engine may be made to drive the vehicle directly.

Patent GB-190507974-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording the Speed and Working Periods of Engines, Shafts, and the like.
Inventor: PENTHER JULIUS
Filed: 1905-04-14
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 7974. Penther, J. April 14. Chronographs; stop-mechanism; winding-mechanism.-Clock-work is released or stopped at the starting or stopping of an engine or shaft, in order to register its time of working, and is automatically rewound at definite intervals. Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a front elevation, with the indicating-dials removed, of the mechanism, and Fig. 7 shows the rewinding device. The barrel spring 11 of the clock drives a shaft 13, connected by toothed gearing 12, 14 to an escapement (not shown) and to a ratchet-wheel 18. A pawl 19 acting on the ratchet-wheel is carried by a disk 20, geared by a pinion 29 and toothed wheel 28 to a shaft 27, which is driven always in the same direction by the engine shaft by means of bevel-wheels 24, 25, 26 and ratchet devices. The gearing is so designed that the disk 20 and pawl 19 are driven by the engine faster than the ratchet-wheel 18 is driven by the clock, which thus starts and stops simultaneously with the engine. Rewinding is effected by means of an eccentric 44 on the shaft 27, a rod 45, and a lever 46 carrying a pawl 48 which rotates tooth by tooth a ratchet-wheel 49, connected to the barrel spring, a retaining-pawl 50 being provided. A pawl 53 on the wheel 49 drives a ratchet-wheel 51 on which is a cam 52. When the spring is sufficiently wound, the projecting part of the cam meets an arm 47 of the pawl 48 and raises it out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel. A spring 54 having an inclined end acting on the cam assists in this movement. The disk 51 is then driven by a pawl 58 and a ratchet-wheel 55 fast.on the shaft 13, until the cam 52 allows the arm 45 and pawl 48 to fall again into the position shown. The shaft 13 revolves once in an hour, and is connected by toothed gearing to a hollow shaft surrounding it which revolves once in twenty-four hours. A disk on the hollow shaft is connected by a pin and slot 34, 35 to a disk 33 carrying a pin 36. At the moment when this pin engages a star-wheel on the day-indicating dial 37, a spring acting on an inclined edge 40 of the disk 33 causes the disk to turn sharply and advance the star-wheel by one tooth. The day-indicating dial is geared to week-indicating dials 42, 43.

Title: Improvements relating to Electric Wiring and Controlling Systems.
Inventor: BLACKMORE ALFRED
Filed: 1905-04-18
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 8305. Blackmore, A. April 18. Distributing; switches.-The current feeding lighting, heating, or power systems is controlled by a magnetic switching-apparatus operated by a relay system energized by a low-voltage current and controlled by a push or like switch. m, n, Fig. 1, are the lighting &c. leads, and c, d the low-voltage leads energized by a battery b or the like; on depression of one of the pushes p, the relay a in series is energized, and operates the trip-gear f corresponding to the push depressed in such a way as to render its main lamp &c. swith g capable of being moved by the power magnet i, in series through a resistance r, when the mercury switch h is closed by the relay e. The switches g are constructed so that progressive steps alternately switch on and then switch off the main current. As shown in Fig. 3, when the relay a is energized, the armature q is drawn upwards and the lever f with its projecting pin 4 is depressed, which allows the catch 6 on the arm w to fall into engagement with the teeth on the wheel x moving the switch arms, so that, when the power magnet i is energized and its armature t drawo up, the arm w will be forced forward so as to move the switch arms through one step, alternately closing and opening circuit. When the stroke is completed and the button switch allowed to rise again, the spring a pulls the armature q down, and again brings the device into its starting position. If desired, several switches may be operated by one power magnet operating on the shaft v, Figs. 7 and 8, in which case the switch blades g are carried on a rectangular frame 10 pushed forward by the power magnet when the relay a depresses the arm f and allows the catch 6 to engage the frame 10 ; if, however, the switch is already closed, the catch 6 comes against the frame 11, and, when this frame is thrust forward, the tails 13 press the arms 10 backwards and thus open the switch. As shown in Fig. 9, the device may be arranged so that no closing-rod is operated excepting the one belonging to the switch to be moved ; a lever 34 is fixed to the power-magnet shaft v, and engages the arm u only when the lever 35 is raised by the tail 32 of the armature of the relay a. If only one switch is required to be operated, the relay a and trip-gear f may be omitted.

Title: An Automatic Starter for Electromotors.
Inventor: JESSEN JOHANNES
Filed: 1905-08-14
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 16,460. Jessen, J. Aug. 14. Switches.-Relates to means for automatically cutting out resistance from the working circuit of a motor. Electro-magnetic means are arranged in shunt with the resistance, and operate in accordance with the fall in voltage across the resistance. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The resistances p, q, r, s are adapted to be short-circuited by a series of relay switches R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, the coils of which are in shunt with the resistance. At R<4> is a relay for closing the main circuit after the shunt field has been supplied. As the motor speeds up and the voltage across the resistance falls, the cores drop in succession, and short-circuit the resistance in sections. In a modified arrangement, the first step is cut out directly, but slowly, being provided with a time-limit device, such as a dash-pot. The first relay may be replaced by an auxiliary motor adapted to cut out the resistance in sections.
