Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 8794. Sayer, R. C. April 12. Variable - speed gearing. - Relates to variable - speed gearing for motor vehicles, cycles, boats, &c., of the type in which bevel friction pinions sliding on a shaft may be caused to gear with concentric bevel annuli. A driving-wheel b imparts motion, through a pinion q and an inner shaft 24, to an outer shaft e carrying pairs of pinions g, h and i, j and a reversing-pinion 22, any one of which may be caused to mesh with a driven wheel a. In starting, a handle 40, Fig. 1, is turned so as to turn a wheel 27, Figs. 2 and 3, by a chain 39. This, through links 26 and a collar 25, causes an auxiliary pinion p to advance into engagement carrying with it the pinion q. By means of levers 44, Fig. 3, links 50, and levers 28, the wheel 27 may be caused to carry round with it a wheel 32 which by links 33 and a collar 23 draws the shaft.e to the right carrying with it an auxiliary pinion o and the pinion g. The pairs of pinion g, hand i, j, respectively, are operated to vary the speed through levers s, t, rods 3, 2, and hand-wheels l, z. The pinion 22 is actuated through a collar 36 and links 35 by a wheel 34, which may be caused to turn with the wheel 27 by levers and links, as shown in Fig. 3. The pinions g, h, i, j are formed with elastic peripheries 5, Figs. 4 and 7, on split perforated spring sleeves 6 kept in position, relatively to end plates 19, by lugs 7. When the lever s is actuated, rods 16 are drawn outwards causing a turning of links 15, 13 and an extrusion of parallel bars 10 so as to press the surface 5 outwards. The opposing surface is provided with apertures 20, Fig. 1, or serrations, to increase the grip. Stops 17 on the rods 16 effect the motion of the pinion as a whole. A modification is described, specially adapted for use in a motor-boat, in which the wheels a, b face one another so that the reversing-pinion 22 may gear with both at once.

Abstract: 14,017. Watkins, S., [Smulders, A. F., (Firm of)]. June 19. Conveyers.-Comprises number of detail improvements in endless conveyers of the articulated trough or like type in which the sides of each alternate section of the trough enter between the sides of the adjacent sections. The sloping sides b of the inner sections B are bevelled off as shown in Fig. 3 so as to facilitate the movements of the sections in relation to one another and to prevent crushing of the material. The carrier chains are of the alternate single and double link type, the sections with the inner upturned edges B being secured, Fig. 5, to the inner members d' of the double links by bolts c screwing into holes having constricted portions c<1> which pass to the lower face of the link and through which any dust entering the hole may be pushed out. The sections B<1> with the outer upturned edges are similarly secured to the single links of the chain. The sprockets E have double teeth E<1> engaging the ends of the double links and between which the single links pass. The cavities between the teeth E<1> have inclined faces e engaging the single links at the apex e<1> only. The portions of the sprocket upon which the double links rest have cut-away faces f<1> excepting at the ends p<2>. This construction uf sprocket allows all dust to fall away down the inclined faces and also prevents its accumulation between the double links. One or more scraping tumblers G with inclined faces g sliding along the rails H of the rollers D are provided to remove any dust from the track. The swinging movement of the tumblers which are pivoted at h to the chain links, is limited by slots g<2> encircling pins with a ring or roller bearing g<3> so as to ensure that the faces q always rest on the rails H when on the upper or lower run. A pivoted plate K, Fig. 12, is provided in the upward run of an inclined conveyer to intercept any falling lumps. The plate normally rests against a stop M, but yields as shown in dotted lines to allow the passage of projecting lumps.

Title: Improvements in Loom Apparatus for use in Weaving Embroidered Fabrics and in Forming Selvages on Fabrics.
Inventor: EVENDEN ROBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1906-11-23
Granted: 1908-02-22
Abstract: 26,634. Evenden, R. E., and Butt, G. W. Nov. 23. Swivel looms ; circular looms; forming selvedges ; weft, cutting.--Circular and other looms are provided with supplementary apparatus for producing embroidery effects, or for forming selvedges in slitup and other fabrics. A base-piece a, Fig. 11, is mounted in any convenient manner, so that it can be held away from the warps, or can be moved through the warps, which enter spaces c between prongs b. The spaces c are narrowed at e, broadened at f, and narrowed again at g. The rear part of the base a is provided with partitions i and cover-plates j, which form guides for the warps and recesses for the tails of the shuttles k. The front parts of the partitions i may be cut away and may be completed by wires. Each shuttle k has a rounded front end and a pointed tail, and the shuttle bottom comprises two pieces y, z, Fig. 4, at a distance apart corresponding to the thickness of the base a. The piece y has a block 1, which slides in grooves 2 in the base a ; the base at an intermediate part is provided with projections serving as fulcra for the shuttles, which are oscillated thereon by the passage of the warps. The selvedge or figuring weft bobbin 3 rotates on a hollow stud 7, and its rotation is retarded by a tension screw and spring. The shuttle is also provided with a tension spring 4 and lever 5, and with a pivoted fender-bar. At the proper time, the base a is driven by its operating-mechanism into the warps of the open shed, whereupon the warps are grouped in the spaces c. When the warps of the first plane have nearly passed the tails of the shuttles, the noses of the shuttles are in contact with the warps of the second plane, so that when the warps of the first plane have passed the tails, the shuttles are caused to remain in their original positions, and on the return stroke, the warps of the first plane pass on the opposite sides of the shuttles, and cause the latter to oscillate on their fulcra. The shuttle-wefts are thus passed through those parts of the shed where the selvedge &c. is to be formed. As the warps leave the spaces c, spring-pressed locking-levers are moved by suitable mechanism to engage the tails of the shuttles and prevent the latter from being displaced accidently. When slit -up fabrics are being woven, the wefts are cut by a knife, which is moved backwards and forwards across the weft by suitable mechanism. The knife has a V-shaped cross-section and is pivoted to be free to swing to either side, and the edges of the bevel by thrusting the warps apart cause the middle of the weft to be cut.

Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 7748. Bock, R. April 2. Moulding briquettes &c.-In a toggle-lever press fitted with upper and lower pressing-dies g, k, the weight of the links d, e and upper die is balanced by supporting the upper cross-beam h by means of hydraulic pistons o. Rods i, connecting the upper and lower cross-bars h, j, are rigidly connected to to the lower beam, and their upper ends are screwed into pistons l fitting into cylinders s carried by the beam h. The cylinders s are connected to the pistons o by pipes y, and pressure liquid is supplied through pipes x'. When pressure comes on the upper die g, the beam h is forced upwards with the cylinders s, the pistons l and the lower die k thus causing an equal pressure to be exerted above and below the material. When the pressure on the material exceeds the hydraulic supply pressure, liquid is forced back out of the cylinders s, thus preventing strain. Stops t limit the movement of the pistons l. The moulds are carried in a rotating table and the moulded articles are discharged by an ejecting-die u, actuated by links p, q, r.
