Title: Improvements in Electrical Block Indicators for Railway Gate Crossings.
Inventor: SYKES WILLIAM ROBERT
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 24,281. Sykes, W. R., Hollins, F. T., and Leake, F. W. Nov. 24. Miniature signals or indicators; signalling - instruments; crossing - gate signals.-An electric indicator for use at intermediate points in a block section, such as crossing- gates, and especially applicable to Sykes' system of electric lock and block signalling is provided with a pivoted spring arm or a spring extension attached to the indicator needle for encountering specially-constructed stops to determine the position of the needle ; or local circuits containing a bell may control the indicator through a relay device. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the needle 1 is carried on a shaft 4 provided with a polarized armature 2 for the coils 3. An arm 5 is carried on a pivot 6 attached to the needle 1 and is controlled in position by a spring 7. In the lock and block system, the normal permanent current deflects the armature 2 so that the needle 1 points to 'passed 'section,' the arm 5 resting against the stop 8. When a train is accepted, a momentary stronger reversed current is passed and the needle moves to position 9, the arm 5 passing from beneath the spring stop 10. The current is then returned to normal again and the needle points to 'approaching 'section,' the arm 5 passing over the stop 10 up an incline, over the stop 8, and rests against the stop 11. The current ceases when the train is in the section, and the needle points to 'in section' with the armature 2 in the normal position shown, the arm 5 returning beneath the spring 10 to its normal position. In another form, the arm 5 is replaced by a spring 2, Fig. 6, attached to the needle and encountering a shaped spring stop 7 in similar manner to the arm 5 and spring stop 10, Fig. 1. In another arrangement, an indicator 1, Fig. 8, of this type is controlled by a relay apparatus 2 comprising coils 3 in the usual line circuit and having a polarized armature 4 pivoted at 5. Contacts 6, 7, 11, 12, 9, 10 are controlled by the armature 4 to which the arm 8 is fixed. The normal line current deflects the armature 4 to close contacts 7, 11 and switch the upper half of the battery 14 into the indicator circuit, the needle showing' passed section.' The current for train 'accepted' deflects the armature 4 to close contacts 6, 12 and 9, 10 so that a reverse current is passed from the lower half of the battery 14 into the indicator coils, and the whole battery 14 is switched into the circuit of an alarm bell 13.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Weft-inserting Arrangements of Looms
Inventor: POALK JAMES LANE
Filed: 1908-01-07
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 389. Poalk, J. L. Jan. 7. Shuttleless looms ; weft, cutting; weft, supplying. - The weft A, Fig. 1, from a spool &c. passes through stationary guides A' and a screw-regulated spring tension device B, the end being secured in a clamping - device 30, 31. The weft is guided by a movable guide 15, which is caused by cam-and-lever mechanism to occupy four successive positions with respect to the " shuttle " or weft-inserter 12, Fig. 2. In the first position, the guide is on the left of the overlapping weftretaining members 13, 14, Figs. 2 and 7, and these members 13, 14 engage a loop of the weft and carry it in doubled form through the shed. The upper clamping-jaw 30 is hinged to the lower clamping-jaw 31 on the lay, and, by means of a crank and spring-connected members 36, 37, the jaws are opened or closed, whenever the locking- lever 40 on the shaft 41 is withdrawn from the latch 35 on the upper jaw. Just before the end of the first pick, the shuttle comes into contact with the free end of a spring-actuated catch arm 42, which projects into the shuttle-race. The arm 42 and shaft 41 are thereby rocked and, in consequence, the locking-lever 40 is withdrawn from the latch 35, and the jaw 30 is opened, so that the weft end is released and is carried out of the shed by the continued movement of the weft-inserter. During the return pick, the weft-inserter lays the weft end in the shed, and the clamping-jaws are opened, the guide 15 being moved into a position outside the path of the shuttle. The weft thread which extends from the fabric is then carried by the guide 15 into the path of the weft-retaining members 13, 14, and a loop is engaged by the shuttle and thrown through the shed. During this pick, the guide 15 is moved into the position shown at the extreme right in Fig. 7, so as to guide the thread between the jaws 30, 31, in order that it may be clamped between them and cut by a knife on the jaw 30 when the locking-lever 40 is operated. The shuttle draws the severed end out of the shed, and, during the return pick, lays the severed end in the next shed, thus completing the cycle of operations. The knife 50, Fig. 5, works into a recess 51 in the lever jaw 31, and the upper jaw is provided with a leather or like facing 52, corrugations 53 being formed beneath it in the lower jaw to clamp the thread firmly.
