Title: Device for Automatic Change of Spools when Weaving with Different Coloured Spools on Looms.
Inventor: SEFTON-JONES HERBERT
Filed: 1908-12-05
Granted: 1909-12-06
Abstract: 26,376. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Gabler Webst³hle, Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 5. L o o m shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically ; change-box motions. - Relates to improvements in l o o m s provided with spool-changing apparatus and with a stationary magazine containing spools of different colour, as described in Specification No. 5082, A.D. 1903. Each magazine compartment Z' ... Z<4>, Fig. 1, contains all the spools of a certain colour, the various divisions of spools being supported by semicircular slides f<1> ... f provided with pinions o<1> ... o', Fig. 2. One or another of these pinions is moved by a corresponding lever s<1> ... s<4> into engagement with a rack n, which is reciprocated by a lever p on a shaft m, thereby liberating a spool. This spool falls into a hopper t, Fig. 1, and is thus guided into position to be fed into the shuttle by delivery mechanism v actuated from the shaft m. When applied to a one-shuttle loom, the shaft m may be periodically rocked by the pattern mechanism so that spools of different colour may be fed to the shuttle, to effect colour weaving. The shaft m may also be rocked by spool-feeler mechanism, to replace an empty spool by a full one of the same colour. The apparatus may also be used in a drop-box loom, to replace an empty spool by a full one of the same colour. In one-shuttle looms, projections b, Fig. 2, in four grooves of a pattern drum a, which is rotated by ratchet mechanism from the low shaft, alternately depress four levers e<1> connected by strings to the levers s<1> ... s<4>, so that one of the pinions o<1> ... o<4> is always kept in gear with the rack n. When a projection depresses the corresponding lever e<1>, a lever h is moved outwards and the previously depressed lever is allowed to rise, while the lever h when moved inwards retains the last-actuated lever e<1> in its depressed position. Moreover, when the lever h is rocked, it causes a catch k on a lever x on the shaft m to move into the path of the weft-fork hammer l, so that the shaft m is rocked and a spool of the colour required by the pattern is fed to the shuttle. If the feeler mechanism then rotates the shaft m, a spool of the same colour as that in use is fed to the shuttle, since the same pinion is in gear with the rack n as when the previous spool was supplied to the shuttle. A spring y returns the lever p and rack n to normal position. When the apparatus is used in a dropbox loom, the drop-box is geared to a drum carrying projections, which actuate the levers s<1> ... s<4> and put the pinion of the slide supporting the same coloured spools as the spool in the active cell of the shuttle box into gear with the rack. When the rack n is reciprocated by the feeler mechanism, a spool of the correct colour is therefore supplied to the shuttle.

Abstract: 408. Bennett, J. F., and Duffield, J. Jan. 7. Carburetting, for internal-combustion engines. Air entering a chamber D<1> by a pipe E passes through a perforated bottom D<4> and impinges on a shallow layer of fuel maintained at the bottom of the carburettor A by a float B in a recess A'. The carburetted air then passes through a chamber D' and pipe E' to the engine. The partition D'instead of being centrally arranged may be arranged as shown in dotted lines and be of conical shape in order to increase the area of the bottom D<4>. The carburettor is heated by exhaust gases in the jacket AJ. The air may be drawn through the fuel by inserting tubes in the bottom D<4> of the chamber D', or by so arranging the fuel level that the bottom D' is normally immersed. Additional air may be admitted by a valve F actuated by suction or mechanically. The surface of fuel may be increased by reducing the diameter of the float B.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 773. Piercy, R. A. A. S. Jan. 12. Printing-frames.-In printing-frames comprising a flat board or sheet on which the printing-paper and copy are held by clamping- devices which serve to bend or spring the board to obtain an even print, the clamping- devices act as legs to support the frame in an inclined position. These clamping-devices may be divided centrally and separated by a doublethreaded screw, which stretches the paper in a cross direction. The paper is laid on a sheet a of bendable material, such as three-ply board, and is wedged into grooves in side members b. These members have legs c which act as supports and are drawn together by a cord f to bend the board a. In a modification, the paper may be passed round strips attached to the members b and forced under channel springs attached to the board a, the legs in this case being hinged. To prevent the paper from being creased, the clamping-device shown in Fig. 6 is used; and in place of the hook b<2>, a spring plate or permanent link may be employed. For papers of varying size, clamps comprising two hinged strips b<7>, b<8>, Fig. 10, are used.

Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 9984. Sykes Interlocking Signal Co., W. R., and Sykes, J. C. April 27. Track apparatus for stopping trains.-A brake valve 8 is opened when a weighted rod 5 is allowed to fall. Normally the rod is held up by a wood or other frangible prop 11, which fits tightly in a socket 14. When the train, upon which the bracket 1 is fixed, passes a signal set against it, a track contact 15 removes the prop and allows the rod 5 to fall. The end of the rod 5 is plane and merely rests upon the top of the prop so that when the latter is removed the rod is not forced sideways. The socket 14 may be barbed so as to mark the props inserted in it. This forms a means for identification and prevents the fraudulent removal of the props. A spring 18 assists the weight in starting and may be used alone. The track contact may be operated, for example in the manner described in Specification 16,262/08.

Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 15,891. Huth, E. July 7. Arc lamps ; arc-lamp electrodes.--In the Duddell arc method of producing continuous oscillations for wireless telegraphy and telephony, the arc is formed between diverging electrodes in such a way that the action of the heated air tends to elongate and extinguish the arc. Fig. 3 shows the arc formed between diverging electrodes a, b supplied with current through inductances c, d and shunted by the oscillation-circuit e, f, g. The electrodes may be hollow tubes h, k, Fig. 4, having conically tapered ends, the end of one tube being partly surrounded by the other. The blowing action of the heated air may be increased by filling or surrounding one or both electrodes with a liquid containing hydrogen, such as alcohol, benzene, petroleum, or ether. The arc may be caused to rotate by forming it in an axial magnetic field, the electrodes being formed partly of magnetic material. The arc can also be formed in a transverse magnetic field or between rotating electrodes. The electrodes may be cooled by a circulating liquid, or by forming them with radiating surfaces. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 12,633/07, [Class 38, Electricity, Regulating &c.].

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyroscopic Apparatus for Bodies in Unstable Equilibrium.
Inventor: SCHERL RICHARD
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1909-11-26
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 27,590. Scherl, R. March 24, [Convention date,]. [Addition to 21,843/08.] Gyroscopic apparatus.-The additional forces that are brought into play to act on the gyroscope are made dependent in value on the speed of precession of the gyroscope and preferably proportional thereto. One method of carrying out this invention consists in producing in an hydraulic brake cylinder 3 connected to the gyroscope 1 a pressure depending on the speed of the precession. This pressure can be multiplied by a servomotor 21 and supply the additional force. The device works as follows. When precession takes place in one or the other direction, as shown by the arrow a, the piston 4 of the hydraulic brake cylinder is moved up or down through the rod 5 connected to the boss 6 on the gyroscope frame 1. The difference of pressure thus produced on the side of the piston 4 varies, owing to the existence of a small passage opening 11 in the piston, in proportion to the speed of precession. This difference of pressure is transmitted to the indicator cylinder 10 and thence by movement of the piston 12 to the regulating-valve 20 of the servomotor 21 of usual construction, the piston-rod 22 being arranged to move upwards when the piston-rod 19 moves upwards. The bell-crank system shown enables the force thus obtained to be applied to the gyroscope casing 1 at the boss 6 in the required direction to accelerate the precession. Mechanism is provided for returning the device to its initial position.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 28,479. Aktiebolaget Gasaccumulator. Dec. 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Actuating valves. - Valve apparatus for signalling, of the kind in which gas is continuously supplied to, and intermittently discharged from, a valve-chamber closed by a flexible membrane, is arranged to give a characteristic signal consisting of several series of flashes separated by intervals of abnormal duration. For this purpose, the rate of admission of gas to the valve chamber is diminished at certain intervals by throttle or other mechanism controlled by a cam-disk which is rotated by ratchet gear at each oscillation of the flash-valve. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, gas entering the chamber 1 accumulates till the pressure is sufficient to lift the diaphragm 2, lever 5 pivoted at 4, and valve 7 fulcrumed at 9. Gas then passes. to the signal lamp through the conduit 11, and the pressure falls until the spring 12 and the attraction of the magnet 14 tilt back the valve 7. The oscillations of the valve 7 actuate mechanically or electrically, a ratchet-wheel on the same shaft as a cam-disk 25, which controls a valve 15 which opens or closes the mouth 28 of an auxiliary supplyconduit. When this extra supply is shut off, there is a longer interval between the flashes. The auxiliary supply-conduit may be connected by a branch tube to a chamber closed by a flexible diaphragm.
