Patent GB-190825822-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Organs.
Inventor: WILLIS VINCENT
Filed: 1908-11-30
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 25,822. Willis, V. Nov. 30. Organs &c.-In an organ flue-pipe, an additional passage is provided for leading external air, or air from the interior of the pipe, to the proximity of the flue of the pipe, for the purpose of improving the quality of the tone produced. In an organ reed-pipe, a baffle is applied to the head of the tubular body of a reed, or the bead is so positioned that the reed extends beyond it. As shown in Fig. 1, tLe open metal flue-pipe B is provided with two languids a, b, and the partial vacuum caused by the rush of air through the orifice a<2>, causes a current of air to pass through the channel C and the orifice b<2> from the atmosphere. The front edge of the languid b is sufficiently thin to permit of ready adjustment. When applied to an open flue-pipe constructed of wood, the false languid is provided with a removable wooden or metal facing, to facilitate the adjustment of which the cap of the pipe is removably mounted. As shown in Fig. 4, the stopped or partly-stopped wooden pipe B is provided with a spring-pressed false languid b which may be adjusted by means of a screw, and air is drawn in from the body of the pipe through the channel C. The cap d is mounted on a removable facing e. A metal flue-pipe may be similarly constructed, the false languid being tent upwards at the end remote from the flue of the pipe. Alternatively, the ordinary languid may be itself perforated. In order to obviate vibratory disturbance from the air in the foot of a pipe, the foot is left open to free air, and one or more nozzles supplied with air at a suitable pressure are used as an injector. For this purpose, the upper board of the soundboard is fitted with nozzles, at a suitable distance above which a second upper board is arranged for the purpose of supporting the pipes. In Fig. 6, a beating reed is shown, the head l of which is provided with a baffle m secured in position by a rivet n. This is stated to limit the influx of air without lengthening the period between the influxes. To reduce the influx and lengthen the period, the head l is so arranged that the reed M overlaps it. The distance of the bead from its usual position does not exceed one-fifth of the length of the reed-tongue, and in small reeds the head may be made thicker than usual, and is then grooved from the outside to the required width and depth, to form a recess overlapped by the reed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Cord Fabrics and Mechanism therefor.
Inventor: SLOPER THOMAS
IPC: B29D30/38

Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 9667. Sloper, T. April 23. Imitations of textile fabrics. - Cord fabrics of the kind described in Specification 753/03 are made from'cords of varying cross-sectional shape and constant cross-sectional area, and are used for making tyres, pump disks, &c. Fig. 1 shows the application of such a cord for making a tyre, the narrow side of the cord being arranged at the inner circumference B, and the broad side being arranged at the tread B<1>, so that there are no gaps or overlapping at any part of the surface. Figs. 3 and 7 show two views of the cord. At the points A<1>, A<3>, where the cord lies at the inner circumference of the tyre, it is narrow in one direction and broad in another; at the point A<2> where the cord forms the tread of the tyre, the dimensions are the reverse of those at the points A<1>, A<3>. At points between A<1> and A<2>, the dimensions change gradually from those at A<1> to those at A<2>. To facilitate the winding of the cord on the former, notches A<4>, A<5>, A<6> are provided. The cord may be shaped by four revolving disks with cam peripheries, forming an orifice of varying crosssectional shape through which the cord passes. One or more of the disks carries a projection on its periphery for making the notches A', A<5>, A<6>.

Title: Improvements in Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-03-08
Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 5771. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. March 8. Weft - replenishing mechanism; change - box motions.-In gingham or other looms provided with change boxes, bobbin-changing or shuttlechanging mechanism is actuated by special feeler mechanism at the magazine side of the loom, and a warp stop-motion is provided. The feeler mechanism comprises two detectors c<1>, c<2>, Figs. 1 and 6, which are mounted in a bracket c and are pressed forwards by springs so as to contact with the weft and the base of the weftcarrier respectively. A detector slide D, Figs. 6 and 9, fitting in a recess in the feeler c<2> is acted upon by a spring-controlled lever D<1>, and when the weft is sufficiently exhausted to enable the feeler c<1> to move away from the end of slide D, the lever D<1> is rocked and actuates an indicator trip E<3>, which then rocks one of a series of bell-crank levers or stops e<6> on an upright lever or .indicator E, Figs. 1 and 9. This lever is moved up and down in unison with the shuttle boxes at the opposite side of the loom, and has a series of open notches e<5> equal in number to the number of shuttles in use. The upper end f<1> of a camactuated lever F, F' is moved into one of the openings e<5> in the indicator, and if this opening is blocked by a stop e<6> the indicator E is moved in the slotted brackets E<1>, thereby actuating a dagger G against the action of a spring, a pin on the dagger then raising the usual dagger a<1> of the replenishing-mechanism into the path of the lay bunter. The stops e<6> are acted upon by springs, which complete their movements into their active and inactive positions, and the mechanism is so arranged that after the detectors c<1>, c<2> have indicated substantial exhaustion of a certain shuttle the replenishing-mechanism is actuated when this particular shuttle is again picked to the replenishing side of the loom. The upper end of a lever G engages a projection g<2> on the detector c<1> and moves it and the detector c<2> out of the shuttle during the replenishing. An upright shaft H, rocked by a crank and pin- and-link connexion with the lever F, F<1>, has a finger which engages a projection on the under side of the detector slide and moves it back into normal position to enable the detector c<1> to engage behind it. When the replenishing- mechanism is actuated, the arm a thereof actuates a setting-lever K<1>, the lower arm of which extends into an opening in an arm in a sleeve provided with a finger, which engages a setting-finger on the actuated stop e<6> and returns it to normal position. In the mechanism described, a change-box motion of the mastergear and mutilated-pinion type is used, the magazine being rocked in unison with the shuttle-box movements by known mechanism.

Abstract: 14,092. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. June 10. Drawings to Specification. Condensers; transformers.-In the construction of apparatus in which electric condensation occurs, such as condensers, concentric terminals of high tension transformers, &c., of the type having conducting-layers inserted in the dielectric, either the conducting or dielectric layers are made rigid, and the dielectric or conducting-material, as the case may be, is pressed or poured between them. The conducting-layers need not have a high electrical conductivity so long as it is sufficiently high relatively to that of the insulating-layers. Thus plaster of paris may be used alone or mixed with conducting particles or solutions such as metallic or carbon powder, or salts of sodium or magnesium. Salt solutions or acids may be used alone as the conducting-layers. In the construction of concentric terminals of high-tension transformers, wherein the inner terminal wire is led out through a tube of insulating-material having intermediate conducting-layers surrounded by an outer sheath which forms the other terminal wire, the insulating-material consists of glass or porcelain tubes coated with a metallic deposit on their surfaces, the spaces between the tubes being filled with a conducting-powder.
