Abstract: 14,224. Southern, T. A. June 13. Drawings to Specification. Dams and stoppings; rescuing entombed miners.- To limit the effects of fires in the intake airways and downcast pits of mines, and to allow the escape of miners on the side of such fires remote from the downcast pit, doors are provided in recesses in the intake airways, such doors being normally open and adapted to be closed by hand to stop the air current when a fire breaks out. One door is placed at the inbye end of each intake airway, and others may be placed on the inbye side of any place where a fire is liable to occur. Each door is such that, when open, the clear opening is not less than the area of the intake airway. The doors are of fireproof material, are suitably marked, and may shut either with or against the air-current, means being provided to prevent them from opening when in use. A man-hole with a sliding or hinged door is provided in each door, and draught-excluding means may also be provided. If a cabin or recess is provided for the attendant, it is arranged open to the intake airway to prevent smoke &c. from being unobserved. Methods are described of restoring the ventilation and removing after-damp without passing it through the workings.

Abstract: 20,822. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Sept. 7. Winding - ma - chines ; creel arrangements; tensionarrangements; stop - motions. - The spindle bed of a machine for winding cops, s p o o l s, &c. is tilted about a pivot 18, the driving - belt slackened, and the driving-pulley moved against a friction piece 33 by means of a toggle 22 controlled by a rod 27 and a lever 29, which is tilted by the spindle-holder when the cop is completed. The traverse mechanism is driven from the spindle by spiral gear 36, and comprises a guide - lever 42, which is actuated by a crank and connecting-rod, either directly or through levers 61, 64, Fig. 6, mounted on an arm 63 adjustably secured on a shaft, the latter arrangement causing a dwell at the left or right end of the stroke, according as the arm 63 is adjusted as shown or towards the left. The spindle on which the cop is wound, is tapered and triangular in cross-section, and is located in the trumpet 44, the butt being carried on a rotary spindle 48 which bears against a ball and is carried by a weighted slide; this slide is kept in its extreme position during the removal of the cop by means of a spring catch which engages ratchet teeth on the slide. The delivery bobbin is braked by a friction pad 65 carried by a spring- pressed arm 66, the boss of which carries an arm 66<b>, on which are mounted two arms 71, 74, normally separated by a torsion spring against the tension of the yarn, which passes round pegs on the arms. When the tension is excessive, it draws the arm 71 toward the arm 74, and moves the arm 66 to relieve the pressure on the delivery spool.

Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 65. Becker, F. A. Jan. 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Long-distance transmission systems.-To prevent loss of energy in long-distance transmission systems, self-induction coils, transformers, or capacities are connected between the lead and return lines at distances from each other equal to a fractional portion, preferably one-eighth, of the wave length which would have been present with the vibrations to be transmitted before the insertion of the shunts; and to prevent such loss for several periods of vibration, or for a definite range of periods of vibration, self-inductance shunts are employed whose total inductance varies with the periods of vibration to be transmitted, to balance the varying capacity reactance. To obtain this range, parts of the self-inductance sufficiently large for the lowest period of vibration are bridged by circuits tuned to the highest periods of vibration; or an increase in the action of the self-inductance with decreasing periods of vibration is produced by varying the magnetic field of one or more portions of the inductance by means of a capacity.
