Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 23,783. Kershaw, G. Oct. 14. Winding-machines.-In a device for guiding the yarns or threads when winding upon a bare spindle, or on to tubes or bobbins, or into pirns &c. of any form, the yarn passes through a single guide or slit, or through a pair of guides or slits, and is moved backwards and forwards in the path so prescribed by a revolving cam or plate against the edge of which the yarn &c. bears continuously, the yarn &c. being caused to move to and fro in a direction radial to the axis of the cam or in the direction of a tangent to a circle described about that axis and of smaller radius than the least radius of the cam. The cam or plate may be arranged to act upon a sliding guide, with an eye or other means of guiding the yarn &c., mounted in one or a pair of fixed plates. The cam or plate is provided with one or two arms or wings formed alike or different in shape on opposite sides. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the device is applied to a machine in which the tubes to receive the yarn &c. are mounted upon spindles arranged to slide lengthwise as the increasing body of yarn &c. bears upon a conical roller. The cam v is arranged to rotate between two plates 2, and is designed with two wings to bear continuously upon the yarn and move it up and down guide - slots u having flanges 3 in the plates. One plate is mounted upon the stud y, and the other is secured to it by bolts 6. The cam is mounted upon a sleeve w on the stud y, and is driven from the tin - roller shaft r through bands 11, 12 and pulleys 10, 7, 8, x. The two plates act efficiently as guards, preserving the cam from injury and preventing the operators from touching the cam.

Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,255. Chaumeret, G. Dec. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Emergency - exit fastenings; multiple - bolt fastenings. - At railway-station and theatre exits &c., two pairs of swing doors are provided which are adapted to be opened successively by persons passing through them, the doors automatically closing and locking after such passage in order to prevent the entrance of anyone from outside. Fig. 2 shows one arrangement in which two pairs of spring-hinged doors 1, 2, 3, 4 are locked by bolts 12 projecting from two platforms 9, 10 hinged at 11 and spring-supported at their forward ends. The weight of a person walking over the platforms successively depresses them sufficiently to disengage the bolts 12 from the bottoms of the doors. The bolts 12 are mounted on springs beneath the platform to facilitate re-engagement with the doors as they swing into their closed position. The bolts 12 also engage the ends of vertical rods carried within the doors near their meeting edges so as to operate vertical bolts at the top of the doors. Fig. 16 shows an inverted plan of an arrangement to ensure that the second platform cannot be depressed to release the second pair of doors until the first pair of doors is just closing, unless someone is following on the first platform. Levers '46 pivoted beneath the second platform normally engage with catches 49 so as to prevent the platform from being depressed, the other arms of the levers terminating near the door bolts 44 beneath the first platform. When the bolts 44 descend, either by the depression of the first platform or by the action of the closing doors which push the bolts down against their springs, the levers 46 are engaged by wedges on the bolts 44 and moved out of engagement with the catches 49. Fig. 12 shows an inverted plan of an arrangement for two pairs of doors at different levels, the release of the second doors being effected directly by opening the first doors. Projections 36 on the first doors engage arms 37, spring-hinged at 37<a>, so as to move the outer ends 37<b> out of engagement with the ends of levers 38 when the first doors are opened. The levers 38 have pivoted sliding connexions with the bottoms of the second doors. Stops 37<c> limit the return movement of the arms 37. The lower doors may be locked irrespectively of the levers 38 by means of bolts 39<a>, Fig. 8, guided by rods 40 to engage under vertical rods 41 which operate bolts 42 at the upper edges of the doors. The pivoting platforms may be locked against movement by the devices shown in inverted plan in Fig. 13. Keys are inserted from the top of the platform into holes 17, 18, and disks 23, 24 are turned. These disks actuate bolts 31, 32, 31<a>, 32<a> by means of levers 25, 26, links 27, 28, and bars 29, 30. The bolts 12 are also locked against movement on their springs z by means of levers 21 actuated by arms on a disk 19 which is also turned by a key.
