Patent GB-190919636-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Filling Detector Mechanism for Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1909-08-27
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 19,636. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Aug. 27. Weft-replenishing mechanism. - Mechanical weft-feeler mechanism, which is adapted to actuate bobbin-changing mechanism on the pick on which detection of the substantial exhaustion of weft occurs, comprises a feeler 12, preferably of skeleton construction, pivotally mounted at 11 on the lay at the rear of the shuttle box at the magazine end, and adapted to enter through holes in the shuttle box and the shuttle to contact with the weft. The feeler is connected by a rod 13 to a yielding- lever device actuated by cam mechanism to move the feeler into the shuttle at every alternate pick, the yielding-lever device allowing the feeler to stop after it contacts with the weft, and a projection on one part of the device being adapted to engage the other part of the device to move the feeler positively out of the shuttle. When the weft is substantially exhausted, a cam part 12<a> on the feeler strikes the head of a screw 20 or like device adjustably secured in a lever 21 on a shaft 23, which is thereby rocked so that a lever 24 thereon is moved against the action of a spring 33 to cause a locking-plate 24<2> to release a plate 25 on a lever 26. This lever is then moved by a spring 35, and, through suitable connexions, causes a bunter 29 on the lay to move into position to engage a grooved belt 30<1> on a latch 31 mounted on the transferrer, so that, when the lay beats up, the transferrer is actuated in the usual manner. As the lay moves backwards, a roller on a stud 26<a> on the lever 26 is engaged by a cam-surface 37<1> on an arm 37, so that the lever 26 is returned to its normal position and is locked by the engagement of the plates 25, 24<2>.

Abstract: 1960. Scherf, C. Jan. 26. Rotarychamber apparatus; . screw conveyers.- Material which has been preliminarily dried and agitated by jacketed trough containing a screw is passed down into another jacketed trough containing a central drum and a series of outer drums steamheated and rotating with the central drum. The material is passed by screws through the central and outer drums in series. The material is fed by a pipe 43 with a regulator and, after drying and agitating in the trough 1, is conveyed by a passage 45 to the main drum 16, through which it is passed by blades 17. From this drum it falls into the secondary drums 18, 20, 22, 24, 25 as they reach the bottom, and is carried through these and passed back through the remaining drums by blades 27, the secondary drums being arranged in groups of two or more, and finallv falls into the lower trough e and is conveyed by blades 38 to an escape duct. The central drum has hollow ends in which the steam ducts 50, 51 are formed, communicating with hollow trunnions. Each secondary drum is surrounded by two or more sections of pipe coils 28, 29, 30, 31, each section having a steam inlet 32 and outlet 33 connected through pipes to the ducts 50, 51. As each section is connected to one of the ducts by a pipe passing over the whole length of the other sections and to the other duct directly, means is provided for expansion. The inner and outer drums carry internal blades and the blades 38 are carried by angle irons on a rotary device surrounding the outer drums. To prevent the vapours evolved from affecting the dry material which is being discharged, the secondary drums are perforated for outlet of moisture only on the outer sides.

Abstract: 17,485. Heys, C. E., and Duckett, H. W. July 23. Railway-carriage doors, fastening automatically. -A railway - carriage axle is suitably geared to a shaft C carrying a pin B on which an oscillatory disk governor A is mounted. At diametrically opposite points, the disk A is connected by a spring H to a fixed collar on the shaft, and, by a link G, to a sliding cam G' keyed to the shaft. Suitably-supported levers J, 0 are connected to lugs I, P on a shaft C<2>. which is geared to shafts L running the length of the carriage and carrying cams which operate spring-retracted bolts M', Fig. 3, which are placed beneath each door.

Title: Driving by Friction.
Inventor: O'KEENAN CHARLES EDOUARD
IPC: G04C1/06

Granted: 1912-01-15
Abstract: 1052. O'Keenan, C. E. Jan. 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Clock movements; electric clocks.-Relates to means for driving or winding clock-work by a motor operating through a friction coupling, and consists in transmitting the drive of the motor, the speed of which may vary above a certain limit through one or more brushes which rub on a cylindrical or other surface. Fig. 1 illustrates the application of the invention to a clock of the type in which a motor, acting through a friction coupling, drives the usual train controlled by an escapement. A worm c, driven by the motor, gears with a wheel a carrying two rods e, e', to which small metal brushes d, d<1> are attached. These brushes exert a constant frictional driving-couple on a small cylinder f, fixed on an arbor b, the drive being transmitted to a wheel i of the clock train through a spring h. In a modification, Fig. 5, a brush m, loose on the driven arbor b, and connected to it by a spring h, bears against the face of a wheel a geared to the motor. The spring h may in some cases be dispensed with, and instead of an ordinary clock escapement, a fly or other controlling- device may be used. The driving-motor may be a small electro-motor such as is described in Specification 8832/98, a spring-motor controlled by a Foucault brake, or any other kind of motor. The invention may be applied to winding up a spring such as the driving-spring of the striking- mechanism of a clock.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Current Distributing Systems.
Inventor: MERZ CHARLES HESTERMAN
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1911-02-16
Granted: 1912-02-16
Abstract: 4004. Merz, C. H., and Hunter, P. V. Feb. 16. [Cognate Application, 5189/11.] Protective arrangements.-Relates to the protection of distribution networks of the type in which each section is composed of leads connected in parallel and provided with automatic circuit-breakers acting at both ends of a section in the event of leakage from a faulty lead. The invention, which is particularly applicable to ring-main networks, consists in arranging and combining the leads of a section in such manner that leakage from one lead produces an inductive disturbance which assists the action of all the circuit-breakers of the section. According to one form of the invention, shown in Fig. 1, windings c, d at one end of each lead a, b of a section A are combined on a magnetic core e, which is adapted to open a switch i when an algebraic or vectorial difference of currents arises in the two leads due to a leak from one of them. A similar arrangement is put at the other end of the section and the various branches thereof. The several windings are designed as impedance coils to augment the different currents at the end remote from the leak, and the two leads are disposed so as to have mutual induction for the purpose of augmenting the difference at the end adjacent to the generator. In an arrangement adapted for alternating currents, the core of the impedance windings is provided with an additional normally idle winding to actuate the circuitbreaker, and a relay coil is connected across equipotential points of an auxiliary circuit energized by series transformers, the two leads being disposed mutually inductively. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 9, an impedance device 3 is provided separately from the circuitbreaker operating means. The mutual induction of the leads may be obtained by placing them side by side in specially constructed cables. As shown in Fig. 8, the two leads may be mounted on overhead supports, and crossed or spirally related so as to eliminate unequal inductive effects from outside conductors, the two wires being kept apart by insulating-sleeves r' and struts r'.
