Abstract: 13,650. Hillebrand, H. June 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Charging and discharging. - In connexion with a furnace for the heating of articles in a neutral or reducing atmosphere, the goods are introduced without admitting air by means of a device operating on the revolver principle, that is, comprising a casing and a number of containers which can be brought in succession in register with a charging-opening, the furnace, and a discharging-opening. In the apparatus shown, the charging-casing 4 is cylindrical in shape, and is formed with two openings out of alinement, one in the upper face serving both for loading and unloading the goods into and from the containers 8, and the other in the lower face communicating with the furnace 1. In operation, the container 8 beneath the charging opening is isolated from the interior of the casing 4 by seals 13, 14, and is put into communication with the atmosphere by removing the cover 15. The goods, for example wire wound on a carrier 16, are then lowered into position and supported on pivoted catches 18, the cover 15 is replaced, and the air is displaced by neutral gas supplied through a connexion 19. When the seals 13, 14 are broken, the container can be rotated about the shaft 5 and brought into position over the furnace, the hooks 22 on the carrier 16 engaging with a lifting-device 23. The carrier is then lifted slightly, rotated by a lever 34, until the crosspiece 17 clears the catches 18, and finally lowered into the furnace. When the heating is completed the carrier is lifted and placed on the catches 18, and the shaft 5 is rotated until the next cylinder is in alinement with the furnace. During the passage of the cylinder from the furnace back to the charging and discharging opening, the goods gradually cool.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Shuttle Exchanging Devices for Weaving Looms.
Inventor: LOETZSCH OSKAR
IPC: D03D45/34
Filed: 1912-07-08
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 15,982. Lotzsch, O. July 8. Shuttle-changing mechanism.-When weft-exhaustion is indicated, a lever a is raised so as to engage with and, when the lay moves backwards, rock a double-armed lever b pivoted to the lay. The lever b is thus moved away from a groove in a slide c, which is thereupon raised by a spring e and causes a part f of the shuttle - box bottom to be raised, so that the exhausted shuttle, when picked, passes underneath this part into a box. A roller on the slide c raises an arm or cam i on a spindle g, which is thereby turned, so that a stop m thereon is lowered into position to engage, when the lay moves forwards, with a cam or arm o resiliently mounted on a hooked lever n operated by lever mechanism from an eccentric p and controlled by a spring q. The lever n is thereby moved into engagement with a bolt s on a shuttle-feeder t, which is then moved to the left to transfer a fresh shuttle from the magazine u into the shuttle box. A double-armed lever w is rocked by a spring v during this movement, and a tongue y is thereby moved downwards to unlock a magazine-closing flap A, which is forced upwards by the shuttle-feeder and acts on arms C on the shuttle-box front, the front wall being thereby raised to enable the fresh shuttle to enter the shuttle box. A bracket D on the feeder t strikes an arm l on the shaft g, which is thereby rocked, the cam i moving back the slide c and part f to normal 'position and the stop m being raised, so that the lever n may move out of engagement with the shuttle-feeder.

Abstract: 17,846. Cossor, F. Aug. 1. Thermometers.-In a thermometer of the kind in which the alterations of pressure and volume of an elastic fluid under changes of temperature are indicated by means of a resilient septum, the fluid is subjected to an initial high pressure, and the resultant deformation of the septum is corrected by spring pressure, in order to eliminate the influence of barometric variations. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the fluid, for example, ether, is charged under air pressure into a bulb L, which communicates by a capillary tube N with a reservoir M containing a liquid, such as glycerine, for transmitting the pressure to a chamber B containing a resilient septum A. The septum is exposed on the one side to the pressure of the liquid, and on the other side to the atmospheric pressure and to the pressure of an adjustable spring H. In a modification, the elastic fluid is contained in the chamber B and acts directly upon the septum A.

Title: Improvements in Yarn Preparing Machines.
Inventor: HIGGINSON JOSEPH
IPC: D06C29/00
Filed: 1913-02-26
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 4939. Higginson, J., and Arundel, H. Feb. 26. Hanks, treating.- Yarn-preparing machines, for treating yarn in hank form, are provided with means for automatically varying the pressure of the rollers upon the yarn in accordance with the thickness of the yarn layers, the means being actuated from the pressure roller or from the crossing-motion. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the pressure roller a is acted upon by a weighted lever d, c, through the medium of the chain f, rod g, and lever h. When the hank is first placed in the machine and is therefore relatively thick, and when the two layers are caused to cross, the movement of the roller a away from the roller b reduces the leverage of the weight d and prevents excessive pressure upon the yarn. The weight d may be slidably mounted on the lever e and connected to the crossing-motion from which the leverage is varied. In a modification, the pressure upon the lever h is maintained by liquid or pneumatic pressure; as shown in Fig. 6, a pump m draws liquid from a reservoir n and forces it into a cylinder o, the piston p of which is connected to the lever h. A spring-controlled relief valve q in the cylinder o is loaded by two levers r, s, the one r having a fixed weight and the other s being automatically weighted from the lever h by an adjustable screw thereon bearing upon an extension of the lever s, or from the crossing- motion, Fig. 5, by a rod t connected to a lever u, one end of the lever u carrying a roller v which runs upon a shaped track upon the upper traversing member w of the crossing-motion. Liquid discharged from the relief valve is returned to the reservoir n. In a further modification in which the weight is applied to the pressure roller by means of a weight rolling upon a lever, the lever is arranged so that the weight is at the point of least leverage when starting and, as the thickness of the yarn layer decreases, the lever moves down to cause the weight to roll to the point of maximum leverage. The surface of the lever may be flat or curved; in the latter case, the curve may be such that the roller will rest in any number of definite positions. The foot-lever j is connected to the weighted lever.
