Title: A New or Improved Device for Indicating when a Fresh Supply of Weft is Required in the Shuttles of Looms.
Inventor: FAIRCLOUGH HUGH
Filed: 1906-02-15
Granted: 1906-10-02
Abstract: 3757. Fairclough, H., and Edwards, J. Feb. 15. Loom shuttles ; weft - replenishing mechanism. - Relates to means for indicating when a fresh supply of weft is required in loom shuttles, especially in automatic looms. The shuttle tongue comprises the longitudinal arms a, a', Fig. 1, bowed at the centre, secured together at one end, and extending at the other end into an enlarged, hollowed, screwed part b. A spindle d extends between the arms a, a<1>, and has a recessed part d<3> into which fit projections a<3> on these arms. The arms are normally kept in this position by the weft, but, when the latter is unwound, the arms a, a<1> expand, and release the spindle, so that a spring c fitting against a collar d' pushes back the spindle into contact with two metal plates f, or, in a modification, turns a bell-crank o, Fig. 5, pivoted at o' within the shuttle and projecting through a channel p in the side thereof. The two plates f, Fig. 1, have parts flush with the outside of the shuttle, and serve to complete an electric circuit through plates f<1>, Fig. 3, on the shuttle box and swell ; an electro-magnet is thus energized, and a lever h<1> is attracted so that the end h<2> thereof can operate, on the beat-up, a lever i for setting in motion the weft-changing apparatus. In the modification, the lever o engages an arm r, Fig. 7, projecting into the shuttle box, and turns a second lever q on the lay, this lever then operating the lever i through the medium, if desired, of a spring buffer limited in movement by a forked bracket. Suitable springs return the parts to their normal positions. A nut e, Fig. 1, is screwed on the enlarged part b, and is shaped at e<1> to engage the collar d<1> and keep the spindle in place. An adjusting-nut regulates the position of the cop upon the tongue. In cases in which the weft is enclosed in a shell, the threading and securing to the shell are preferably effected by the method described in Specification No. 1469, A.D. 1903.

Filed: 1906-08-04
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 17,656. Breda, H. Aug. 4. Fats and fatty oils, extracting. Ketones boiling at 67-170‹ C. are used in place of acetone for extracting fats, more particularly from their mixtures with soap, salt, &c., as in the extraction of wool-fat. When the ketones are used in a hot state, the soap is also dissolved and is separated out by cooling. Where the cooled solution tends to become gelatinous, a mixture of these ketones with those boiling at lower temperatures may be employed. The addition of hydrocarbons boiling at or below 85‹ C. facilitates the employment of the low-boiling ketones.
