Patent GB-190326020-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Warp Stop-motion Mechanism for Looms for Weaving
Inventor: HORN OTTO
Filed: 1903-11-28
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 26,020. Horn, O. Nov. 28. Loom stop-motions.-The loom is stopped when a warp thread breaks by the use of spring wires a, bent in the form of loops, and having their ends secured to rods d, or to small frames pushed on to the rods d. Each wire a is held up by a warp thread k. Below the rows of wires a are arranged pairs of toothed bars l<1>, l<2> with their teeth in opposite directions. The bars l<1> are fixed, and the bars l<2> slide within them, being pulled in one direction, as the lay is drawn back, by connection with a pivoted lever n, of which the bent end p is acted upon by a roller q on the lay. The bars l<2> are returned as the lay moves forward by connection with a pivoted lever n<1>, which is moved by a spring r attached to a pin s, of which one end is loosely carried by a bracket t on the disengaging- lever u, while the other end passes through a hole in the upturned end v of the lever n<1>. If a warp thread breaks, the corresponding wire a springs between the teeth of the bars l<1>, l<2>, and thus stops the bar l', so that the pin s is not drawn aside by the spring r, and as the lay moves forward a projection w on it strikes the pin s, and disengages the lever u, stopping the loom. In a modified arrangement, the lever n is replaced by a cord secured to the bars l<2> and to the loom frame, and passing over the roller on the lay, while at the other side of the loom is mounted a shaft with two arms, of which one is connected to the bars l', and the other actuates the pin s and is moved by the spring r. The wires a may be formed into double loops wound continuously over the rod d, and soldered in the middle. The two sides of the loops may be strengthened by connecting-wires. The wires may be open and secured at one end to the rod d, while the other end is guided between two flat boards or blades, the opening being too small for the wires to pass each other. The open springs may also be double, in which case the ends are guided by blades, and the centre held fast by similar blades. One end of a single loop may be rigidly held between blades, while the other end is guided in a slot in a guide attached to the blades.

Abstract: 26,124. Stewart, T. B., Turner, W. H., and Dixon, R. E. Nov. 30. Electric railways and tramways; points and switches. -Relates to apparatus for controlling and operating the points of electric railways and tramways having overhead conductors, and consists i n improvements i n the apparatus described in Specification No. 11,393, A.D. 1902, by which improvements all fittings on the car are dispensed with. The ordinary section insulators A have, near the points, insulated distancepieces B and bridgi n g - connections, which are preferably formed by continuing the wire over the insulators. When the trolley head T is in contact with the insulated piece B, a circuit is completed which allows a current to pass through the wire U to an electromagnet G which moves the lever K and closes the main switch N, thus allowing the current to energize the electromagnet E and operate the railway points and overhead frog R. When the car has passed the point, the circuit is broken by energizing an electromagnet H, which attracts the lever K and opens the switch N ; the trolley head makes contact with a hanging switch S, having pivoted sides and connected by wire 1 to the magnet H. When it is not desired to operate the points, the motorman switches off the motor controller and coasts over the insulated piece B.

Abstract: 21,285. Wright, J. S. Oct. 4. Cameras; shutters.-A camera is provided with a special reflecting finder, and a roller-blind shutter such as that described in Specification No. 9572, A.D. 1903, is released simultaneously with the movement of the finder mirror. The front 19, Fig. 1, slides transversely on a base 20. A mirror 64 moves on a pivot 65 within the camera body, and is actuated against a spring 66 by a lever 67 on a rock-shaft. In the lower position, the mirror frame rests on a vertical partition 72, where it is retained by a pin 73 engaged by a catch 71, Fig. 4, pivoted on the partition 72. A spring 76, fixed to a rod 77 attached to the catch 71 and bearing against a fixed eye 78, normally holds the catch 71 and the pin 73 engaged, release being effected by a squeeze-ball and a tube 84 actuating a piston 80 in a cylinder 81, and moving a rod 82 against the catch 71. The mirror 64 then moves up into the horizontal inoperative position below a ground-glass plate 85, Fig. 1. A bellows 105 is extended by a lazy-tongs mechanism actuated by a spring 104, when the top plate 86 is released from two locking-slides 107. An observation slot 87 in the top plate 86 is normally covered by a plate which moves on pivoted cranks. Toothed sectors 94, 95 on the upper arms and toothed sectors 103, 102 on the lower arms of the lazy-tongs engage with one another, and are provided with blank portions to act as stops, and limit the upward motion of the bellows. In the position shown, the slides 107, which are forced apart by a spring, engage notches 111 in the arms 110, and retain two covers 106 in the open position. In the collapsed position of the bellows, the covers 106 and the top plate 86 are locked by the slides 107, which engage notches 109 in the arms 110. In the position shown, the upward motion of the mirror 64 will release the shutter by means of a cam-projection 134 on an arm 135 pivoted to the mirror frame. This cam 134 moves a slide 131 to the left against a spring 133, causing a wedge piece 127 to actuate a pin 128, or a pin 129 attached to pistons 124, 125, in the cylinder 126, which then actuates the shutter as described in Specification No. 9572, A.D. 1903. The cam-projection 134 may be moved out of the path of the slide 131, to obviate this simultaneous action of the mirror and the shutter, by a lever 141 on a rock-shaft 140 pivoted in the camera case and carrying an arm 139, which moves the arm 135 by a pin engaging in a slot 137 in the arm.
